Welcome to Episode 252 of The Optimal Body Podcast

Five Things I Should Start to Care About in My Body as I Age

Preserve your health as you age! We’re providing paradigm shifts in the way we approach degeneration and movement. By age 85, approximately two-thirds of all reported injury-related deaths are due to falls, and foot health plays a large role in maintaining awareness of where the body is in space. Allowing the toes to spread, the arches to move, and the heels to shock absorb builds resiliency within the feet and allow the foot to experience more feedback from the ground. These aspects of foot health can be game-changing for balance and proprioception as we age. Secondly, DocJen & Dr. Dom dive into scans and their static representations of natural degeneration in the spine. We hone in on similar radiographical findings between individuals with and without symptoms and discuss how movement variety is the best posture! Then, they dive into reprogramming tissue health, explaining ways to build tissue tolerance and impact strength training consequently. Finally, they emphasize the importance of continually working on baseline flexibility and mobility, as well as stress management. We approach all 5 of these aspects of health in the Grateful For My Body Challenge starting November 1st!
