Did you know a joint can sometimes slip slightly out of place? This is called a subluxation, and when it happens, it can put pressure on nearby nerves. Over time, that pressure can make it harder for your nerves to send signals between your brain and the rest of your body.

Chiropractic adjustments gently restore proper alignment, helping take the pressure off those nerves so your body can communicate and function the way it’s meant to.

💪 Why Building Muscle Is About More Than Looks — It’s About Longevity and Health

1️⃣ Muscle = Metabolic Powerhouse
🧬 Skeletal muscle is the primary site for glucose disposal, helping regulate blood sugar and insulin levels.
✅ More muscle = less risk of:
• Type 2 diabetes
• Heart disease
• Dementia
• Cancer
Muscle stores 300–500g of glucose as glycogen and is naturally insulin-sensitive — a key trait for long-term metabolic health.

2️⃣ Muscle Reduces Inflammation
🧠 Muscle acts like an endocrine organ, releasing myokines like IL-6 and irisin during exercise.
Unlike most inflammatory markers, muscle-derived IL-6 is anti-inflammatory, helping your body fight chronic inflammation naturally.

3️⃣ Muscle Is Your Body’s Emergency Protein Bank
🛡️ When illness, surgery, or infection strikes, muscle is the only real protein reserve your body can tap into.
People with more lean mass recover better and bounce back faster from:
• Hospitalizations
• Surgery
• Infection
• Injury

Bottom line: Muscle is medicine. Lift smart. Train consistently. Fuel wisely

💪 Concentric vs. Eccentric Muscle Contractions – Why It Matters for Strength, Growth, and Injury Prevention 💪

Not all reps are created equal! Understanding the difference between concentric and eccentric muscle contractions can take your training to the next level:

👉 Concentric = Lifting

Muscle shortens as it contracts (e.g., curling a dumbbell up).

Builds power and strength, especially when done explosively.

👉 Eccentric = Lowering

Muscle lengthens under tension (e.g., lowering the dumbbell).

Crucial for muscle growth and injury prevention.

Slow, controlled movements = more fiber damage = more gains 💥

🎯 Takeaway:
Mastering both phases = smarter training.

Concentric → Power & speed

Eccentric → Growth & resilience
Tailor your reps to your goals: strength, size, or long-term performance.

Train smarter, not just harder 💥

🖐️ Grip Strength: A Surprisingly Powerful Predictor of Longevity

Did you know your grip strength could tell you more about your health than you'd expect?

✅ It’s simple to measure
✅ Doesn’t require fancy equipment
✅ Strongly correlates with overall upper body strength
✅ Predicts your ability to perform daily tasks as you age

📊 What the Research Says:

🔬 The PURE Study (140,000+ people in 17 countries):
For every 5 kg (~10 lb) drop in grip strength, there was a 16% increase in all-cause mortality.

📈 Another study tracked adults aged 70–79 over 7 years:
Participants were grouped by muscle mass and strength levels. Not surprisingly, those with stronger grip strength lived longer and functioned better.

💡 Bottom line: Your grip might just be your most underrated health marker. Keep moving, stay strong, and don’t skip the strength training—your future self will thank you!

🌿 Your Muscles Do More Than You Think!

Your body has three unique types of muscle, each playing a vital role in your overall health and wellness:

💓 Cardiac Muscle
Keeps your heart beating 24/7—literally the rhythm of your life.

🌱 Smooth Muscle
Works quietly behind the scenes in organs like your digestive tract to support digestion and essential bodily functions.

💪 Skeletal Muscle
Not just for movement! These muscles help with posture and play a big role in metabolism—supporting glucose balance and energy use.

✨ Caring for your muscles means caring for your whole body. Movement, nutrition, and rest all matter
