If you spend a large part of your day sitting, you may be concerned about the ill health effects associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Research has linked sitting for long periods of time with an increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, certain cancers, and early death. However, an international study recently published by The Lancet shows that one hour of daily exercise can offset these health risks. This research provides hope for those who feel that their sedentary lifestyles have consigned them to ill health and early death. If physical limitations prevent you from exercising as much as you would like, chiropractic treatment can help to get you on your feet.
Do you spend a lot of time sitting? Are you exercising enough? Regular chiropractic care makes good sense to counteract a sedentary lifestyle. At FAMILY PRACTICE OF CHIROPRACTIC, we believe that regular checkups should be included in a person’s personal healthcare program. We’re located at 112 McGrath Hwy., Quincy, where we are currently accepting new patients. We always address a problem’s cause, not just its symptoms. Please call 617.472.4220 to schedule an appointment. If your problem is a chiropractic condition we offer you exceptional service.
P.S. People who sit for long periods and are mostly inactive are 28% to 59% more likely to die early than active individuals who also sit for prolonged periods.
For Your Health,
Dr. Gabrielle Freedman
