My friend Hailey came across this meme, and I thought it was too funny not to share 😂. Some days feel like this!

In all seriousness though, walking is great for both your mental and physical health. It increases blood flow to the brain which helps to relieve stress and improve mood by releasing endorphins. Walking consistently improves your cardiovascular health by teaching your heart to pump more efficiently. Walking after a meal can help improve digestion and move food along. It’s also a great weight-bearing exercise, meaning it can help improve muscle, bone, and joint health.

With all the sunny days we’ve been having this summer, what better time to go for a walk? Even if it's just around the block 😉.

P.S. - adjustments make walking easier by ensuring your spine and pelvis are in proper alignment. You wouldn't drive a car that's out of alignment, right? Let's make sure you're walking with a spine that's properly aligned.

Try this simple test at home: stand on one leg. How long you can do it actually reveals a lot about your health:

It also tells a lot about how well you are aging.

A recent study found that balance, specifically the ability to stand on one leg, was a better indicator of aging than measures of strength or walking ability. As we age, our bodies naturally experience some decline. This can include things like decreased muscle strength and slower reflexes.

These changes can make it harder to maintain balance, which is why standing on one leg becomes more difficult as we get older. The researchers found that the ability to stand on one leg decreased with each decade of life. This decline was more significant than the decline in grip strength or knee strength.

This is important because good balance is crucial for maintaining independence and avoiding falls, which can be a serious health risk for older adults. Falls can lead to injuries like broken bones, which can reduce mobility and quality of life. Strong balance improves your stability, coordination, and reaction time, ultimately contributing to a more active and independent life.

The good news is that balance is something you can improve, even as you age. The researchers suggest that practicing simple exercises, like standing on one leg for 30 seconds each day, can help you maintain good balance.

You can do this while brushing your teeth, waiting for the coffee to brew, or even while watching TV. It's like any other form of exercise – the more you practice, the better you become. By incorporating these exercises into your daily routine, you can improve your balance, reduce your risk of falls, and maintain your independence as you age.
