Fernandina Beach Exercises Benefit Makes it a Good Resolution for All
New Year. New Resolutions. A good one is ‘add exercise’. Exercise is good for young and old alike, boosting cognition, health, sleep quality, etc.. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic believes including Fernandina Beach exercise to your way of life is an advantageous behavior that enhances your life in due course. Let’s get moving!
EXERCISE MOTIVATORS
Culture can be supportive of physical activity…or not. Researchers evaluated a variety of motivators for physical activity and exercise. Since being physically active is a result of self-determination, they described the combination 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 telling researchers and ultimately us clinicians to customize exercise to the patient and his/her influences. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic has to find out what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? At-gym? Maybe some mindfulness? To enrich the exercise effort, adding mindfulness appears encouraging. Researchers found though that people have misconceptions or no concept of what mindfulness is or how it is valuable to mental and overall health. One study examined the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in averting mental health issues and decided that it held promise. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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? No! As the pharmacological world investigates new 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 useful. (3) Major motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and easing chronic pain – related to decreased brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was found to bring back normal brain function. (4) That’s what Amelia Chiropractic Clinic does: treat chronic pain with chiropractic care featuring spinal manipulation.
OLDER FOLKS AND YOUNG KIDS
Curious researchers took on the question of older adults’ goals, motivations, and self-determination motivators to follow a healthy lifestyle and participate in things to support that lifestyle like exercising and eating well. Factors like personality and goal-setting habits were proposed as influencers. (5) Even in kids, researchers noted that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns affected their healthy lifestyle. Skipping breakfast in the morning – 11% of kids in one study did this – was linked to sleep duration, bedtime, and physical activity. 9.5% of kids reported poor sleep. 24.9% slept less than the suggested 9 hours. Girls were not as physically active. Sad news: Such less-than-healthy habits lessened children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Good] news: Better sleep quality enhanced reaction time in a visual attention test.
