Layden Chiropractic trusts that including Plainville exercise to your daily life is an advantageous behavior that ultimately enhances your life. Let’s get moving!
EXERCISE MOTIVATORS
Culture can be supportive 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 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 tailor exercise to the patient and his/her influences. (1) Layden Chiropractic has to find out what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? Out of the house? Maybe some mindfulness? To boost the exercise effort, adding mindfulness appears promising. Researchers found though that many 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 preventing mental health issues and concluded that it was promising. (2) Layden Chiropractic 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 enhance cognitive function in the aging folks, researchers have also described nutrition, diet, probiotics, cognitive training, and physical activity, exercise, even dancing – ballroom, aerobic and Latin - as being valuable. (3) Significant motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and alleviating chronic pain – linked to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was observed to bring back normal brain function. (4) That’s what Layden Chiropractic 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 follow 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 influenced their healthy lifestyle. Skipping 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 reported poor sleep. 24.9% slept less than the suggested 9 hours. Girls were less physically active. Bad news: Such less-than-healthy habits lessened children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Positive] news: Better sleep quality enhanced reaction time in a visual attention test.
