Montreal Exercises Benefit Makes it a Good Resolution for All

New Year. New Resolutions. A good one is exercise more. Exercise benefits young and old alike, boosting cognition, health, sleep quality, and more. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic trusts that including Montreal exercise to your daily life is a positive 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 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 tailor exercise to the patient and his/her interests. (1) Share with Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? Out of the house? Maybe some mindfulness? To enrich the exercise effort, inserting mindfulness appears promising. 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 looked at the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in averting mental health issues and decided that it held promise. (2) Dr. Hoang's 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 looks for drugs to improve cognitive function in the aging folks, researchers have also listed nutrition, diet, probiotics, cognitive training, and physical activity, exercise, even dancing – ballroom, aerobic and Latin - as being beneficial. (3) Significant motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors mixed with chiropractic care. Treating and alleviating chronic pain – linked to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was found to bring back normal brain function. (4) That is what Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic does: treat chronic pain with chiropractic care incorporating 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 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. Skipping breakfast in the morning – 11% of kids in one study did this – was associated with sleep duration, bedtime, and physical activity. 9.5% of kids said they had poor sleep. 24.9% did not sleep more than the recommended 9 hours. Girls were less physically active. Sad news: Such less-than-healthy habits lessened children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Good] news: Better sleep quality improved reaction time in a visual attention exam. (6) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is here to help you make better choices, temper expectations, and make beneficial healthy lifestyle goals.
