Elgin Chiropractic Care Encourages Exercise for a Healthy Heart and Mind

February 13, 2018

It’s February in Elgin. It’s the month of hearts. They’re everywhere! So how is your heart? Is it healthy? Is it mind-supporting? The healthy question affects its physical health for which exercise is a no-brainer. The mind-supporting question affects  its influence on the mind and cognition and vice versa. No matter the stage of life of its owner, the heart is key to the life of each of our Elgin chiropractic care patients whether they have back pain or neck pain or not. Connected Chiropractic rejoices in the healthy, mind-supporting heart!

HEALTHY HEART

The healthy heart demands attention. No Elgin chiropractic treatment plan is complete without it. Connected Chiropractic urges all our Elgin chiropractic patients and their families and friends to deliver it a lot of attention. Attention via some good Elgin cardiovascular activity is amazing for the heart…and does so much more than just work the heart. It enhances the lives and minds of all people with a heart, all of us Elgin folks! Exercise enhances cardiovascular fitness and decreases major depressive disorders in relatively inactive adolescent/early adulthood people. (1) Of course, the trick is to create an exercise choice that can motivate a typically sedentary depressed adolescent person to exercise regularly. (2) Connected Chiropractic knows many Elgin parents who can relate to this as well as partners of Elgin back pain sufferers seeking Elgin chiropractic help for it! Now on the other end of the spectrum, the older folks who do best are those who keep physically energetic, those who keep mentally active, those who keep a positive outlook to healthy ageing, those who engage their minds. Researchers note that these folks participate in a combination of sedentary things (reading/crosswords) and active things (walking/helping others). Doing these things in a social context is best. (3) Connected Chiropractic sees many older Elgin chiropractic patients who enjoy  life fully and bounce back from back pain and other aches and pains more rapidly when they are engaged in life. It keeps their hearts full and their minds linked to their hearts.

MIND-RELATED HEART

Keeping the mind full and active and keeping the heart mind-related benefits all ages. One report discusses that regular exercise helps the mind and its cognition. It reduces the risk of age-related cognitive decline. Intense exercise may even assist in certain types of memory consolidation. (4) Another report presents that exercise like Tai Chi brings the mind into body exercise. It shapes the heart rate beneficially – its rate and blood flow - for older adults’ cardiac health and cognitive function. (5) Connected Chiropractic urges a mix of heart-related exercise from more intense to less intense to keep the heart – the physical one and the mind-related one – in top condition.
