What does Good Posture have to do with Living Longer?
One of the common denominators of the young and healthy is the ability to be flexible. One of the characteristics of individuals as they get older and sicker is that they become less flexible, more rigid.

Flexibility is a very interesting dual trait because we are born with it, and it can always be relearned. In our society, flexibility equals youth and vitality. By improving flexibility, posture automatically improves. Stretching daily allows the postural muscles to better handle the demands of daily living.

According to health educator Robert Cooper, "Posture is affected by, and affects, every aspect of our lives. Your state of nutrition, exercise, stress management, body fat control and mental development all depend on your posture. With good posture, exercise is more enjoyable, digestion improves, the mind is clearer, senses sharper and problems seem more manageable."

Posture is one of the most overlooked secrets to better health and performance at any age. Posture is the window to your state of health. Every one of us has been told to sit up straight or stand tall by our mother while growing up. We would listen for the moment, than lapse into poor posture again.

The reason is simple: Poor posture and loss of flexibility can be corrected and improved through Chiropractic and Chiropractic's unique ability to properly align the spine. A properly aligned spine will afford greater levels of flexibility needed for youthful motion and vitality. This is why Chiropractors also support and encourage stretching, exercise and nutrition.

The concept of better health through better chemistry and more expensive drugs has failed. That is not based on philosophy or prejudice; it is based on statistics found in the popular press today. *what stats Maybe list the number of death due to drugs. Effectiveness with anti depression drugs, ADD drugs.

It is a time when many are reaching for a new holistic concept for health, wellness and lifestyle. The new concept is better health through better living. Chiropractic was never designed to be a treatment. It is a lifestyle that is perfectly in alignment with the rapid shift and trend in society toward holistic, drug free health and wellness. If wellness, vitality, flexibility and longevity are what you want, adjust to the chiropractic lifestyle. It's never too early or late to begin.
