How many steps should you aim for each day? ✨

A review of 57 studies shows ~7,000 steps/day = major health benefits:
🔹 Risk of death decreases nearly 50%
🔹 Lower risk of heart disease, dementia, depression, and diabetes
🔹 Even cancer & falls showed improvement

The old “10,000 steps” goal is great, but 7,000 is realistic and impactful!

🧩 Did you know your shoulder pain isn’t just about your shoulder?

Frozen shoulder happens when the shoulder becomes stiff, painful, and hard to move. Researchers found that people with frozen shoulder often face:

🔹 Less confidence in handling pain → more daily struggles
🔹 More worry and fear of movement → worse pain and stiffness
🔹 Higher body weight → slower recovery

The takeaway: mind and body matter. Addressing both gives the best chance to regain mobility and ease pain.

Research shows that in people with chronic low back pain, higher fear and worry about movement are linked to:
😓 Slower focus
💪 Weaker control
🧩 Reduced memory

This can make it harder for rehab and education to “stick.”

The good news? 🙌
✅ Learning about pain helps reduce fear
✅ Gradual movement builds confidence
✅ Simple focus drills sharpen attention

If fear is holding you back, let’s change the story together. Check out this infographic to learn more about chronic pain. https://bit.ly/3KjY9lQ

Want to stay healthy and active as you age? Your diet plays a significant role. 🥦🍎

A 30-year study found that people who eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, healthy fats, and low-fat dairy are more likely to age strong, sharp, and disease-free.

Eating less processed meat, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats also helps.

The takeaway: Choosing a balanced, mostly plant‑based diet with some healthy animal‑based foods can help you stay active and independent well into your 70s and beyond. 🙌
