EXERCISE MOTIVATORS
Culture can be supportive of physical activity…or not. Researchers studied a variety of motivators for physical activity and exercise. Since being physically active is an act 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 interests. (1) Tell Most Chiropractic Clinic what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? At-gym? Maybe some mindfulness? To boost the exercise effort, adding mindfulness appears promising. Researchers found though that people have misconceptions or no concept of what mindfulness is or how it is beneficial 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) Most Chiropractic Clinic appreciates those kinds of benefits!
BENEFITS FOR COGNITION, PAIN RELIEF WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
A pill maybe?! None of us would admit wanting to take a pill to be physically fit…or would we? Of course not! As the pharmacological world investigates new 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 useful. (3) Great motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and easing chronic pain – linked to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was observed to restore normal brain function. (4) That is what Most Chiropractic Clinic 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 activities to support that lifestyle like exercise and eating well. Factors like personality and goal-setting habits were proposed as influencers. (5) Even in kids, researchers saw that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns influenced their healthy lifestyle. Not eating breakfast in the morning – 11% of kids in a recent study did this – was linked to sleep duration, bedtime, and physical activity. 9.5% of kids said they had poor sleep. 24.9% slept less than the suggested 9 hours. Girls were less physically active. Sad news: Such less-than-healthy habits impaired children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Positive] news: Better sleep quality bettered their reaction time in a visual attention test.
