A common overused term, "diet & exercise", "diet & exercise". Recently, we had a patient say, she's allergic to exercise. Why is that? Well, as we age, we hurt more after exercise and the pain lingers longer than we want. A little soreness is okay, but any more, it's becomes annoying. Many people, take a an over the counter medication, such as Advil or Motrin daily with exercise but that is not the answer! There are many natural alternatives to decreasing the pain after exercise, you need to ask a functional medicine physician and our chiropractors can help. 

Now, why should I exercise. Most people exercise to loose weight. However, the most recent research has show that after several weeks of exercising they saw changes in several organs. This includes heart, brain, lungs and fatty liver.  The study tracked molecular effects of exercise. In turn, this effects the body in several positive ways, it regulates immune system, responses to stress, inflammation and tissue injury, to name a few.  "This is the first whole-organism map looking at the effects of training in multiple different organs. The resource produced will be enormously valuable, and has already produced many potentially novel biological insights for further exploration".

Show some love to your cells with some exercise.
