Chiropractors are often the first health care professional a patient will visit with early signs of aging. They worry about these painful effects of aging and demand our help. The evolution in addressing anti-aging is perfect for the chiropractor. Our patients are already provided with nutrition, exercise, lifestyle changes and adjustments, and the added interpretations of biomarker testing and treatment are a natural. One of the first recommendations is exercise.
Many people assume that getting fatter, weaker and stiffer is inevitable with age.
A growing body of research, however, suggests that much of the decline attributed to aging actually comes from being sedentary, and that regular exercise can help people remain healthy and independent as they get older. The results show a dramatic decrease in the age drop that occurs in the normal population that does not exercise. As many gerontologists and researchers have found, exercise is the closest thing to an anti-aging pill that exists. People who are physically fit, eat a healthy, balanced diet and take nutritional supplements can measure out to be 10 to 20 years younger biologically than their chronological age. This is what makes an immortal.
