Monday is for M O V E M E N T 🏃🏻‍♂️

Adults should do some type of physical activity every day. Exercise just once or twice a week can reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke.

Adults should aim to:

•do strengthening activities that work all the major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms) on at least 2 days a week

•do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week
spread exercise evenly over 4 to 5 days a week, or every day

•reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with some activity

Speak to your Dr first if you have not exercised for some time, or if you have medical conditions or concerns. Make sure your activity and its intensity are appropriate for your fitness.

Winter is coming ~ did your joints tell you? Can you tell when it’s going to rain or have you felt your joints ache when the temperature outside drops?

It’s common to blame joint pain flare-ups on changes in the weather, and many believe people can feel more joint pain on cold, rainy days. But the research on the connection between the two isn’t clear.

How Weather May Affect Your Joints

Changes in barometric pressure may make your tendons, muscles, and any scar tissue expand and contract, plus low temperatures can also make the fluid inside joints thicker, so they feel stiffer leading to increased pain.

You might also feel more pain when the weather keeps you from moving around as much as you typically do. People tend to stay indoors and lounge around more when it’s cold and rainy outside, and inactive joints can get stiff and painful.

Stay warm, stay active, predict the weather ☔️

Your daily activities are either exponentially growing your health or exponentially reducing your health. The body has a neuromuscular memory and movement pattern which you create everyday over time. Are you teaching it good or bad habits?

Time to re-educate 📚

Medication masks your symptoms but doesn’t address the cause. Your actions have led you to this point. There is no quick fix or simple solution. To heal is going to be hard and to prevent recurrence takes lifestyle changes. Choose your hard.

Pediatric care is necessary for young and old ❤️

Did you know a baby born before 37 weeks of pregnancy is termed premature.

World Prematurity Day is observed on the 17th of November each year to raise awareness of preterm birth. Approximately 15 million babies are born premature each year, accounting for about 1 in 10 of all babies born worldwide.

With all the difficulties of being born too soon , it's a given that around the clock medical care is required. Did you know, chiropractic care for preterm babies is recommended to aid in physical development and much more.
