Run Now, Think Later

From Alternative Medicine, 2006, a study in Lancet Neurology showed how people who run at least 20-30 minutes twice a week during their 40's and 50's, cut their risk for Alzheimer's and dementia later in life by almost 50%! Awesome....now the reality...Movement, as we know to be an essential, will cut the risk of almost every single disease known to mankind. Why? Because movement decreases stress hormones, creates movement and circulation of the organs, stimulates the brain and immune system, and creates strength and mobility. Every major condition and disease we face in today's modern society is lifestyle based, not genetically inherited (more on that in another blog). According to M. Meany, Ph.D. 2001 Stress and Disease: Who Gets Sick, Who Stays Well. Cortext Educational Seminars: "The result of medical research over the past 20 years has clarified precisely how stress can promote various forms of illness." (heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, anxiety, and most cancers). The leading killers in society are preventable and lifestyle related! So it is no surprise to discover through research that exercise and movement, an essential to every human being, plays a  major role in minimizing disease and maximizing health. Run now!
