The most commonly deficient mineral. Interesting read

Happy merry magnesium! A new article was published investigating the role of magnesium in muscle integrity. They provided this beautiful graphic detailing the many domains of magnesium functions. Navigate it by looking at the inner circle and then look at the functions by color. Truly amazing!

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN OLDER ADULTS CORRELATED WITH LOWER INFLAMMATION. The ageing process has been linked to rises in systemic inflammation, which it is thought drives chronic conditions in older adults. With physical activity a critical component of overall functioning in the ageing population, this study sought to identify any association with physical activity and inflammatory biomarkers.

A cross-sectional analysis of data from Wave 13 of the United States Health and Retirement Study (https://g2aging.org/) was undertaken. The reported outcomes unsurprisingly found that higher levels of physical activity were associated with higher levels of physical function. The results also found that inflammation was negatively associated with physical function.

The study conclusions, which were reported in the journal Biological Research for Nursing, were that physical activity both preserves physical function and reduces systemic inflammation, both key components of healthy ageing.

WFC Public Health Committee Chair, Dr Claire Johnson DC, PhD commented, "Chiropractors have empirically observed the importance of spinal motion and function from the beginning of the profession. Research studies, such as these, help us to better understand the biological mechanisms related to higher levels of physical activity and function being associated with lower levels of inflammation."

When using a mobile device, it's important to practice good posture. Otherwise, you might hurt yourself.

Keep your chin up, your shoulders pulled back and down, and your elbows in. If it helps, remember the following mantra: In, Up, Back, Down.
