Just Dance!

Can’t get into those yoga positions? Pilates just isn’t your style? Want to relax, feel great and burn calories? Dance! That’s right ~ dance!

The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture recommends that adults engage in at least 30 minutes of moderately intense, or more vigorous, physical activity daily. Moderately intense exercise raises your heart rate and gets your blood pumping, and 30 minutes of dancing can certainly do that!

So sign up for a local dance class and enjoy some of the health benefits of dancing that include:

  • Burning calories
  • Reduced risk of osteoporosis
  • Increased blood flow to the brain
  • Reduction in stress
  • Social interaction that wards off loneliness and depression
  • Increased motor skill and agility
  • Feelings of accomplishment when a new step is learned
  • Reduced risk of dementia
  • New friendships

And who said that exercise can’t be fun?

Dr. Ryan Asks some important questions of interest to Lynn residents - Chiropractor Lynn Dr. Ryan Asks...

If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Lynn office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
