Living younger, longer.
McLean’s magazine reported in their October 29, 2001 edition some interesting information regarding health and life expectancy for men and women in the south Georgian Bay area.
Life expectancy at birth for men and women is 76 and 81 years respectively. Of those years, men can expect to live disability free until age 65 and women age 68.
At age 65, because one has dodged accidents and illness, life expectancy has increased. Men can expect to live another 16.9 years, and women another 20.6. Of those years, men can expect to enjoy living disability free for some 10.7 years and women, 11.7 years.
This means that at age 65 a woman can expect – all things being equal – to live another 20.6 years to age 85.6 and expect an able bodied life for 76.7 years of it!
It’s great that we are enjoying longer lives and more of it active and well. Yet, to quote from the magazine: “It’s a sobering reminder that, while life expectancies have been growing, Canadians, on average, may spend a decade or so in less than full health.”
It's not much fun living in pain! Chiropractic can help by keeping you mobile and correcting smaller injuries before they become permanently disabling. Patients appreciate relief from their aches and pains. Many come to find the greater benefit is the awareness of how to avoid injury and coaching towards a healthier life that comes with a good relationship with their chiropractor. The best way to promote your well being – at any age – to live younger longer– is to remain active, fit and interested.
Consider it another way. When you invest your money – you give up the enjoyment of it now so you can hopefully enjoy the rewards later. When you invest in your health – you put some effort into it now to enjoy the rewards later, yet unlike investing your money - you still get to enjoy it now! Double the dividends!
I am here to help and I look forward to being of service to you today and through the years ahead!
