Aaron Chiropractic Clinic has confidence that including Fort Wayne exercise to your daily life is an advantageous behavior that enhances your life in due course. Let’s get moving!

EXERCISE MOTIVATORS

Culture can be encouraging of physical activity…or not. Researchers studied a variety of 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 interests. (1) Tell Aaron Chiropractic Clinic what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? Out of the house? Maybe some mindfulness? To boost the exercise effort, inserting mindfulness appears hopeful. Researchers found though that many have misconceptions or no concept of what mindfulness is or how it is valuable to mental and overall health. A recent study looked at the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in preventing mental health issues and concluded that it was promising. (2) Aaron 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? No! As the pharmacological world investigates new drugs to improve cognitive function in the aging folks, researchers have also reported on nutrition, diet, probiotics, cognitive training, and physical activity, exercise, even dancing – ballroom, aerobic and Latin - as being valuable. (3) Great motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and relieving chronic pain – associated with decreased brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was observed to restore normal brain function. (4) That’s what Aaron 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 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 suggested influencers. (5) Even in kids, researchers noted that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns affected their healthy lifestyle. Not having 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 experienced poor sleep. 24.9% did not sleep more than the recommended 9 hours. Girls were not as physically active. Bad 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.
