It is February in McHenry. It’s
the month of hearts. They’re everywhere! So how is your heart? Is it healthy? Is it mind-supporting?
The healthy question concerns its physical health for
which exercise is a no-brainer. The mind-supporting question
involves its influence
on the mind and cognition and vice versa. No matter the age
of its owner, the heart is central to the life of each of
our McHenry chiropractic care patients whether they have back pain or
neck pain or not. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic rejoices in the healthy,
mind-supporting heart!
HEALTHY HEART
The healthy heart deserves attention. No
McHenry chiropractic treatment plan is complete without it.
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic encourages all our McHenry chiropractic
patients and their families and friends to give it
a lot of attention. Attention via some good McHenry cardiovascular action
is amazing for the heart…and achieves considerably more than just work the heart. It enriches
the lives and minds of all people with a heart, all of us McHenry
folks! Exercise increases cardiovascular
fitness and reduces major depressive
disorders in relatively inactive adolescent/early adulthood people. (1) Of
course, the trick is to create an exercise choice
that can inspire a naturally
sedentary depressed adolescent person to exercise on a regular basis.
(2) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is quite aware of many McHenry
parents who can relate to this as well as partners of
McHenry back pain sufferers seeking
McHenry 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 toward healthy ageing, those who engage
their minds. Researchers report that these folks participate
in a mix of sedentary things
(reading/crosswords) and active things (walking/helping others). Doing these things
in a social context is optimal. (3) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic treats many older McHenry chiropractic patients who enjoy life fully and bounce back
from back pain and other aches and pains more quickly
when they are involved 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
helps all ages. One report shares that
regular exercise helps the mind and its cognition. It lessens
the risk of age-related cognitive decline. Intense exercise may even help certain types of memory consolidation. (4) Another report discusses
that exercise like Tai Chi brings the mind into body exercise. It affects
the heart rate beneficially – its rate and blood flow - for older adults’
cardiac health and cognitive function. (5) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic encourages
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 great
condition.
