10-Minute Trick ERASES Pain

Pain is a catch 22.
When you’re in pain, you don’t want to move.
But when you stop moving, you put yourself on a fast-track to disability.
And that means you can’t do much moving even if you wanted to.
But even if you’re dealing with arthritis pain, spending just 10 minutes a day following this simple program can help you maintain your independence.
The experts say you should exercise 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
But if you’re dealing with arthritis pain – or any kind of pain in your knees, hips, ankles, or feet – that’s the last thing you want to do!
And when it comes to preventing disability… you don’t have to.
In a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers analyzed data from 1,500 adults who all had pain in their lower extremities, but did not have a disability.
They wanted to find out how much (or more precisely, how little) movement it would take to prevent these individuals from becoming disabled.
It turns out it didn’t take much.
Walking for just one hour per week – or just 10 minutes per day – reduced the risk of mobility disability to 85%.
Mobility disability is defined as walking too slowly to safely cross the street.
In addition, the inability to perform the tasks of daily living (like bathing or getting dressed) was reduced by 45%.
By contrast, in the adults that did not get in their 10 minutes of walking per day, 24% had developed a mobility disability, and 23% had trouble with the tasks of daily living.
Yes, the exercise recommendations for reducing the risk of heart disease are higher. But if you’re suffering from arthritis pain, your top priority should be maintaining your independence.
It’s encouraging to know that it only takes 10 minutes a day to do just that.
