DID YOU KNOW?
That walking
can give you all-natural pain relief? Healthy adults who did aerobic
activity consistently had 25% less musculoskeletal pain than their couch-bound
peers. Exercise releases endorphins. Staying active can also provide
relief for chronic conditions such as arthritis: In a U of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill study, arthritis sufferers experienced 25% less pain
and 16% less stiffness after 6 months of low impact exercise like balance
and strengthening moves. Most people saw improvement within a few weeks.
