When last did you stretch?
😏

In this day and age where we spend most of our time sitting behind a desk or in front of a computer, slouching ever so often … Stretching has never been more important!

Here are a few benefits of stretching 😊

*Improves the flexibility of muscles
*Decreases risk of injury
*Improves posture
*Improves ability to perform daily and physical activities

😁😁😁

It’s recommended to stretch ≥2-3 days/week. You want to stretch to a point of mild discomfort and hold that position for 10 – 30 seconds.

Not sure where to start? 😅

Contact your nearest Biokineticist for more information.

Think humans are meant to slow down as we age? Well, think again.

A team of evolutionary biologists and biomedical researchers have laid out evolutionary and biomedical evidence showing that humans evolved to be relatively active in their later years.

The researchers say that physical activity later in life shifts energy away from processes that can compromise health and toward mechanisms in the body that extend it. This guards against chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers.

"It's a widespread idea in Western societies that as we get older, it's normal to slow down, do less, and retire," said Harvard evolutionary biologist, Daniel Lieberman, the paper's lead author. "Our message is the reverse: As we get older, it becomes even more important to stay physically active."
