We all know the importance of movement for our health. We may not have considered that it can also hep us stay independent drivers longer. Recently NBC reported that individuals with greater spinal flexibility are typically safer drivers. Being able to take in surroundings more easily, especially when backing up, requires the ability to easily move one's head. Stiffer spines mean less physical capability for so many things; add this to the list. Movement in general and yoga in particular help keep or even improve spinal flexibility. Just one more reason to keep up the good work everyone!
