Start Moving More and Get Outside

Stagnation is a setup for infl ammation. To the extent that you can, get moving to increase circulation and improve your body's ability to release accumulated toxins, work your joints and muscles, lower blood sugar and blood pressure, lose weight, increase peace and balance, and decrease pain and inflammation overall. You don't have to run marathons, but you probably have to do more than you're doing. Haven't you ever wondered why so many of those "tough old birds" of yesteryear managed to live into old age even though they smoked, drank, caroused, and ate a pound of eggs, butter, and bacon every morning? Just look at your couch for an answer. Those people got outside and moved - they were in touch with nature. Most of them were gardeners in one way or another. They lived more connected to the earth in some meaningful way.
