Move!

The Chiro from The Chiro - Upper Hutt

The human body is designed to move. Movement is crucial to how well our bodies are able to regulate essential daily functions. 🏃🤸‍♂🏊🚴‍♀
By the same token, increased prevalence of sedentary behaviours is having a profound negative impact on our overall health and wellness 🧑‍💻📺📱
Some of the potential negative effects are:

💥 Increases chronic inflammation
Increases risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer
🦠 Increases chance of metabolic disorders
Increases likelihood of developing musculo-skeletal disorders like osteoporosis
🤯 Can impact mental health (depression, anxiety), and contribute to development of cognitive disorders later in life (dementia, Alzheimer's)
The body needs movement to function. Low fitness (or exercise capacity) is the strongest predictor of death 💀. So the equation is simple:
Movement ➕ Consistency = HEALTHIER YOU 🤩🙌
This does not mean we have to jump from a sedentary lifestyle straight to a comprehensive gym program 🏋️‍♀.
Research shows that committing to as little as 30 MINUTES of mild/moderate exercise per day can vastly decrease the prevalence of the health complications mentioned above! And that still leaves 23.5 hours for everything else!
So start adding 30 minutes of walking 🚶, jogging 🏃‍♀, swimming 🏊‍♀, cycling 🚴, dancing 💃 or yoga 🤸‍♂ to your daily routine, and start taking charge of YOUR health. 😤
Your body will love you for it! 😇✨

Sixteenth century prophet, Nostradamus predictions for 2024 are quite numerous and as interpreted by some are promising to come to fruition already.

Ailing Pope Francis will die or retire and be replaced as pope by an African cardinal or bishop.

Donald Trump will be elected President of USA and consequently turmoil will resume in the USA and the world.

Terrible weather and other disasters of nature will occur that will affect the world.

Conflict between nations will intensify and spill over.

King Charles will die or abdicate, Prince William will reject taking the mantle and it will be left to Prince Harry to be installed as King.

The Hurricanes will win the Super Rugby Pacifica championship and the All Blacks will have an unbeaten year under the coaching of Scot Robertson.
