People who are physically active tend to have higher pain tolerance than those who are sedentary, according to new research published in PLOS One. The study highlights the importance of physical activity in increasing pain tolerance and suggests that being physically active or making positive changes in activity level over time can lead to higher pain tolerance.
It took me a lot of b.s. to finally start taking care of myself. I played sports growing up too, but fell into the grind, and alot of extremely self destruction behavior.
Once I decided to actually care for myself, it sparked a certain mindfulness in my own life and how I live it.
I started working out, playing pick up sports here and there, and gardening. I like to garden and do push ups/medicine ball etc in-between my tasks. I just feel good. I think feeling good goes a long way to being healthy, and alleviating stress, as well as the small unimportant things that tend to bother us when we are stagnant.
It’s a process and a struggle, but worth it. Sometimes I’m lazy lol. But I’m trying to keep a lid on my complacency.
Luckily I’ve been blessed with decent health ftmp, but lately I been dealing with the onset of carpal tunnel and bad knees. So there’s a balance I need to find.
