        Got PAD? Walking helps.

        Many people with peripheral artery disease avoid walking because it may cause pain. But patients who had two in-person sessions and two phone sessions with physical therapists to encourage walking over three months walked 18 yards farther over 6 minutes than those who got usual care.

        We’ve all been there. A bit too much yard work, lifting, or who-knows-what, and you’re hunched over with pain in your lower back. In most cases, the pain goes away quickly. But sometimes it lingers, often without a cause that anyone can pinpoint. Here’s what to know about back pain.

        In a study funded by the Dairy Farmers of Canada, scientists randomly assigned 22 older women to drink two cups a day of whole milk, skim milk, or almond milk for three days while doing their usual exercise and for three more days while taking 50 percent more steps than usual.

        Can you exercise away anxiety?

        Need to calm down? Movement can help.  In 2018, the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans concluded that being active can ease anxiety if you have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and can lower the long-term risk of developing anxiety.
