Heart Health Month!!
How does getting adjusted help your heart?
back and forth. Your spine protects your nerves the way your skull protects your brain. Poor alignment in the upper back, (the nerves that go to
your heart) reduces blood flow to the heart.
All it takes to reduce flow by
40-60% is pressure from the weight of a dime ( 2.2 grams) Adjustments reduce
the pressure allowing organs (like the heart) to function properly.
Adjustments not only feel good but
leave lasting effects that your mind and body will appreciate. As well as, adjustments
in the upper back reduce the pressure on those nerves connected to your heart
and immediately improving the function!
Obviously getting adjusted helps
you feel better; but, getting adjusted helps your body’s organs to function
better, too!
Heart Healthy Exercise
· Aerobic exercise is the shown to be the best for
the cardiovascular system.
·
“Aerobic”
is an exercise where you work out at 85% of your maximum heart rate.
·
Examples of aerobic exercise are: walking,
swimming, lifting weights quicker, kettlebell
·
To calculate: subtract your age from 220 and
multiply by 85%. So, if you are a 40 year old: 220-40=180 x 85%= 153 beats per
minute is the target heart rate to work out at.
