Secrets to Longevity

Is longevity simply a matter of genetics, or are there things you can do to prolong your life?

The New England Centenarian Study, conducted in Boston, found that longevity does indeed run in families. You are four times more likely to live past 90 if you have a parent that is a centenarian.

But is that the whole story? Hardly. There are lifestyle changes you can adopt now to add years to your life. Try these:

  • Eat a healthy diet
  • Get sufficient sleep
  • Exercise 30 minutes at least five days a week
  • Don’t smoke
  • Keep your mind alert and engaged
  • Stay optimistic
  • Active social life
  • Lose excess weight
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Get regular chiropractic check ups
  • Avoid risky behaviors (addictions, sky-diving, etc.)

Many factors influence life expectancy. Fortunately, many are under our control. Do you want to live to be 100? Then start making some changes so you can get there! It's never too late to start changing bad habits… good luck!

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Stratham folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in Stratham encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
