Hollstrom & Associates Inc has confidence that adding Largo exercise to your lifestyle is a positive 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 a variety of motivators for physical activity and exercise. Since being physically active is an act 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 telling researchers and ultimately us clinicians to customize exercise to the patient and his/her influences. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc has to find out what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? At-gym? Maybe some mindfulness? To enhance the exercise effort, inserting mindfulness appears encouraging. Researchers found though that people have misconceptions or no concept of what mindfulness is or how it is helpful 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 was promising. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 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 Latin, ballroom, and aerobic dancing as being valuable. (3) Great motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and easing chronic pain – related to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was found to restore normal brain function. (4) That is what Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 lead a healthy lifestyle and participate in things 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 noted that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns influenced 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 reported 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 bettered their reaction time in a visual attention test.
