As our bodies age, we hear more creaking and often notice more aches and pains. The years are passing and you may notice that you occasionally groan and resolve, “I’m getting old.” But, just because your body is aging, you can still feel young. For the same reasons as when you are younger, your body benefits from healthy eating, exercise, and chiropractic care.

Diet

Ensuring you are eating foods that are rich in certain vitamins and nutrients can help keep your body healthier as you age. Vitamin D, found in foods such as salmon and eggs, helps prevent disease such as osteoporosis and diabetes. Dairy, leafy greens, and beans are great sources of calcium which helps with bone density. There are numerous benefits of eating well as you age!  Come see us for nutritional advice to keep those bones strong!

Exercise

Hearing the word exercise can make you cringe if you have achy joints. There are many forms of exercise that are less strenuous on the body, yet still beneficial. Stretching, water aerobics, yoga and going for walks regularly can improve your health and flexibility as you age. By exercising regularly, you can not only improve your health, but also promote balance, helping to prevent falls as your body ages.

Chiropractic Care

Regular chiropractic care is beneficial at all ages. However, as you age, visiting the chiropractor every 3 to 6 weeks can slow the effects of degenerative disc disease, joint issues, and much more. We offer numerous services we offer and chiropractic techniquesthat suit you best.  Regular maintenance visits will also keep the nervous system healthy and functioning well.  Your immune system will thank you!
