Action Step, Mobility: Jaw
Start Aging Intelligently today. The road is one step at a time. The route is: move everything in your body every day. We’re doing it, one step at a time.
We carry tension in our jaw, which affects, well, everything.
Just before you eat, open your mouth as wide as you possibly can, then close it. Repeat 5 times. I stole this from Jack LaLanne, the fitness expert from the 1950’s, which is when I learned it. Yes, I am 100; thanks for asking.
Next, open your mouth half way, and push, gently, your teeth side to side, then front to back. Repeat 5 times.
Only then, eat.
This adds a habit you already do (eating) to a habit that you want to form (less tension in the body.
That’s Aging Intelligently.
Hah, you are 100 Dempsey, LOL! Love the energy that comes from your posts
Dempsey, I’m visiting from Delia’s hood. I love your overall philosophy of keeping the physiology moving, to keep things optimized, and to stay young. All very true! I’m a stress management expert, and I emphasize the physical to clear the mental. What a wonderful jaw exercise you offer! Well done.
