It Doesn’t Have to Hurt to Help!

Exercise and Fitness

The recipient of some of the greatest benefits of a regular exercise routine is – you guessed it – your heart! But many people think that exercise has to hurt to help – so they give up before they ever even get started because they don’t think they have the stamina, or the willpower, to stay in the exercise game for the long haul.

Not true! Did you know that a minimum of 20 minutes of aerobic exercise just three times a week provides heart-healthy benefits? Twenty minutes of hiking, brisk walking, bicycling, swimming or any other type of non-stop, continuous exercise is all it takes. Strenuous exercise isn’t what’s needed to make your heart and lungs healthier, moderate aerobic exercise is what does the trick and it’s a far easier commitment to make!

In addition, regular aerobic exercise helps to lower your bad cholesterol, the kind that clogs arteries and may lead to coronary artery disease, and raises your good cholesterol, the kind that helps clean out your arteries. High cholesterol poses an additional risk to your heart because blocked blood vessels can cause a heart attack that often leads to death.

When you perform moderate aerobic exercise, you engage large muscle groups for an extended period. This form of exercise enables your heart to pump oxygen-filled blood more effortlessly throughout your body, which lowers your blood pressure and your risk for heart disease.

Exercise, nutrition and regular chiropractic checkups are all part of a healthy lifestyle that extend your life and help you to enjoy more of it! If it’s been awhile since your last life-affirming chiropractic adjustment, please give us a call and visit soon. Or use the link at the bottom of the page.

Dr. Scott Asks some important questions of interest to Clermont residents - Chiropractor Clermont Dr. Scott Asks...

How do you "catch" a cold?
Simply lower your resistance by avoiding the proper rest and exercise, eating lots of sugar and junk food, putting up with emotional stress and neglecting your nervous system by avoiding your chiropractor. You won't have to catch a cold because it will catch you!
How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Clermont residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
