Chiropractic Solutions trusts that including San Jose exercise to your way of life is an advantageous behavior that ultimately enhances your life. Let’s get moving!
EXERCISE MOTIVATORS
Culture can be encouraging of physical activity…or not. Researchers evaluated various motivators for physical activity and exercise. Since being physically active is a result of self-determination, they detailed the mix of autonomy, competence, ego, task, and relatedness of these in the motivation to exercise. American subjects were more autonomous, task oriented, and physically active than Turkish subjects reminding researchers and ultimately us clinicians to customize exercise to the patient and his/her interests. (1) Chiropractic Solutions has to find out what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? Out of the house? Maybe some mindfulness? To boost the exercise effort, inserting mindfulness appears hopeful. Researchers found though that people have misconceptions or no concept of what mindfulness is or how it is valuable to mental and overall health. A recent study examined the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in averting mental health issues and decided that it was promising. (2) Chiropractic Solutions appreciates those types of benefits!
BENEFITS FOR COGNITION, PAIN RELIEF WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
A pill maybe?! None of us would confess to wanting a pill to be physically fit…or would we? Of course not! As the pharmacological world looks for drugs to improve cognitive function in the aging folks, researchers have also described nutrition, diet, probiotics, cognitive training, and physical activity, exercise, even Latin, ballroom, and aerobic dancing as being beneficial. (3) Major motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and relieving chronic pain – related to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was found to bring back normal brain function. (4) That’s what Chiropractic Solutions does: treat chronic pain with chiropractic care incorporating spinal manipulation.
OLDER FOLKS AND YOUNG KIDS
Curious researchers took on the question of older adults’ goals, motivations, and self-determination motivators to lead a healthy lifestyle and participate in things to support that lifestyle like exercise and eating well. Factors like personality and goal-setting habits were suggested influencers. (5) Even in kids, researchers observed that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns affected their healthy lifestyle. Not having breakfast in the morning – 11% of kids in a recent study did this – was associated with sleep duration, bedtime, and physical activity. 9.5% of kids said they experienced poor sleep. 24.9% did not sleep more than the suggested 9 hours. Girls were less physically active. Sad news: Such unhealthy habits impaired children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Positive] news: Better sleep quality improved reaction time in a visual attention exam.
