A few research-based tips from your Sacramento Chiropractor for a great summer!

Get Moving: Too Much Sitting Is Bad for the Heart. An analysis of data from the Women from the Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health concerning 5,638 older women found that sitting for eleven or more hours during the day can elevate the risk for cardiovascular disease over the next five years by up to 34%.

Eat a healthy Diet: Veggies, Fruits, and Grains Good for the Heart. Among a group of more than 16,000 middle age and older adults, those with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains had up to a 41% lower risk for heart failure than participants who consumed a diet low in such foods. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, April 2019 

Get More Exercise Before You Forget To: Exercise Improves Memory. In a recent study, researchers observed that engaging in a single session of moderate-intensity exercise resulted in greater activity in several areas of the brain associated with memory formation and retention.
