New York City Exercises Benefit Makes it a Good Resolution for All
New Year. New Resolutions. A good one is exercise more. Exercise is beneficial for young and old alike, boosting cognition, health, sleep quality, etc.. Rosenberg Wellness Center trusts that including New York City 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 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 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 telling researchers and ultimately us clinicians to adapt exercise to the patient and his/her interests. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center has to find out what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? At-gym? Maybe some mindfulness? To enrich the exercise effort, adding mindfulness appears hopeful. 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 examined the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in preventing mental health issues and decided that it held promise. (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center appreciates those types 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 described nutrition, diet, probiotics, cognitive training, and physical activity, exercise, even dancing – ballroom, aerobic and Latin - as being useful. (3) Important motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and relieving chronic pain – linked to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was observed to bring back normal brain function. (4) That is what Rosenberg Wellness Center does: treat chronic pain with chiropractic care featuring spinal manipulation.
OLDER FOLKS AND YOUNG KIDS
Curious researchers took on the question of older adults’ goals, motivations, and self-determination motivators to lead a healthy lifestyle and do things to support that lifestyle like exercising and eating well. Factors like personality and goal-setting habits were suggested influencers. (5) Even in kids, researchers saw that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns influenced their healthy lifestyle. Foregoing 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 unhealthy habits worsened children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Positive] news: Better sleep quality enhanced reaction time in a visual attention test.
