Healthy Lifestyle Really is Anti-Aging

For some time now I've tried to emphasize the importance of living a healthy chiropractic lifestyle.  There are many outward benefits that can be seen in people who live such a lifestyle.  They are able to do the things in life they both need and want to do.  They are resistant to disease and injury.  They feel and look good.  But what is happening on the inside of these people?

True health occurs at the cellular level.  When a person's cells are healthy, they are overall healthy.  A person's age is determined by how well their cells are working.  Recent news reports such as this one from Businessweek, "Veggie-Heavy, Low Stress Regimen Shown to Modify Cell Aging", reveal how a healthy lifestyle improves the health of cells.  Click and read the article.  It explains in a clear, simple manner the complex changes that occur in the telomeres within individual cells when lifestyles are improved.  The improvement is significant enough to be able to label the cells as being younger.  The lead researcher is quoted as saying, “Our studies are showing that simple changes in our lifestyle have powerful impacts in ways that we can measure.” Having younger cells is truly anti-aging at its finest!

The abstract from this study is found at the The Lancet  "Increased telomerase activity and comprehensive lifestyle changes: a pilot study".


Want to live healthier and longer?  Adopt a healthy chiropractic lifestyle.  Eat nutritious food, take nutritional supplements when indicated, get regular exercise, sleep soundly, manage stress, avoid toxins, protect your mental health, and keep your spine and nervous system healthy with regular chiropractic adjustments.  The take-a-way good news is that wherever you are now you can be healthier and younger by improving your lifestyle.
