Minster Exercises Benefit Makes it a Good Resolution for All

New Year. New Resolutions. A good one is to exercise more. Exercise is good for young and old alike, enhancing cognition, health, sleep quality, etc.. Minster Chiropractic Center has confidence that adding Minster exercise to your lifestyle 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 analyzed a variety of motivators for physical activity and exercise. Since being physically active is an act of self-determination, they described 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 influences. (1) Minster Chiropractic Center has to find out what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? Out of the house? Maybe some mindfulness? To enhance 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. A recent study analyzed the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in averting mental health issues and concluded that it was promising. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center 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 enhance 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 alleviating chronic pain – related to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was observed to bring back normal brain function. (4) That is what Minster Chiropractic Center does: treat chronic pain with chiropractic care featuring spinal manipulation.

OLDER FOLKS AND YOUNG KIDS

Curious researchers tackled the question of older adults’ goals, motivations, and self-determination motivators to lead a healthy lifestyle and do activities 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. 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 said they experienced poor sleep. 24.9% slept less than the recommended 9 hours. Girls were less physically active. Sad news: Such less-than-healthy habits worsened children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Good] news: Better sleep quality enhanced reaction time in a visual attention test. (6) Minster Chiropractic Center is here to help you make better choices, temper expectations, and make beneficial healthy lifestyle goals.
