Our bodies require movement

Our bodies require movement

Our bodies need a lot of movement to operate fully. In almost every single medical issue, movement is listed as something that can prevent or restore an issue. 

  • Movement protects muscles and joints.
  • A lack of exercise can affect the health of your eyes, your brain, and your digestion.
  • It can negatively impact your energy levels, lipid panel results, or how well you feel each day.
  • A lack of exercise can cause your cells to age faster. 

This doesn’t mean that we need to be marathon runners. Instead, we need to find ways to increase our habitual activity levels.

Each cell in our bodies has a limited number of times it can divide. The number of times your cells can divide is determined by the rate of loss of the protective caps of each chromosome at each cell division. 

These caps are called telomeres. Telomeres are similar to the plastic cap on you...
