Published research has shown that several factors have been shown to extend lifespan and quality of life.
For example, research has shown that an active lifestyle incorporating exercise and whole foods (vs “Fast Foods”) can extend the quality and longevity of our lives by helping to prevent early onset of diabetes or obesity.
Additonally, Chiropractic care can help us move, breathe, and be more flexible as we get older. One study showed that holding better posture and standing taller is correlated with lifespan extension of over 5 years!
However, we also know that in general, we work longer hours than our parents did.
According to a 2006 CBS News story on 60 Minutes, “Americans work longer hours than nearly anyone in the developed world, even the Japanese. For many professionals and corporate managers, the 40-hour work week is history; 60- to 80-hour work weeks are now the norm.”This is largely due to techology allowing us to be “available” via Blackberry or Iphone well after the traditional workday ends.
As a result, we need ways to combat stress and re-charge now more than ever!
At Ultimate Health & Chiropractic Center, we help our patients find the right nutritional support for their individual needs. For some, this may mean helping with nutritional support for the adrenal (“stress”) glands. For others, balancing blood sugar levels may be the highest priority. Most of us could benefit from more energy as well.
Using a whole body approach, we aim to help our patients live fuller and longer lives.
