Want to stay healthy and active as you age? Your diet plays a significant role. 🥦🍎

A 30-year study found that people who eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, healthy fats, and low-fat dairy are more likely to age strong, sharp, and disease-free.

Eating less processed meat, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats also helps.

The takeaway: Choosing a balanced, mostly plant‑based diet with some healthy animal‑based foods can help you stay active and independent well into your 70s and beyond. 🙌

When it comes to exercise and knee arthritis, think like Goldilocks. 💡

Too little movement? Your joints may stiffen up and get weaker.
Too much? You might be pushing them toward injury.

A recent study found that moderate daily activity helps protect against the progression of knee osteoarthritis. Over time, people who stayed in that “just right” zone had better joint health.

Tennis elbow isn’t just for tennis players—it can happen to anyone who uses their hand and wrist repeatedly, like typing, painting, or lifting at the gym. This overuse causes tiny tears in the forearm tendons, leading to pain, stiffness, and grip weakness.

Chiropractic care can help by reducing inflammation, restoring joint mobility, and using targeted exercises to strengthen your forearm—helping you recover faster and prevent flare-ups.
