Exercise, Mobility is vital to feeling well

Written By Bianca Beaumont

Exercise is a critical aspect of a healthy lifestyle that provides significant benefits to physical and mental health. Over my 20+ years in practice I’ve observed the difference in my clients, my family and myself when consistently doing regular exercise that challenges. Regular physical activity has been linked to a range of positive outcomes, including weight management, disease prevention, improved mood, reduced stress, and enhanced cognitive function.

Physical Health Benefits

1. Weight Management: Physical activity is essential for weight management. Studies have shown that regular exercise can help reduce the risk of becoming overweight or obese, which are major risk factors for chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Not to mention how it makes you feel when your jeans no longer fit!

2. Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases: Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. According to the WHO, regular physical activity can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 30%, diabetes by 27%, and breast and colon cancer by 21-25%. Additionally, physical activity can help manage existing chronic conditions, such as arthritis, and improve quality of life.

3. Improved Bone Health: Exercise is essential for maintaining healthy bones. Weight-bearing exercise, such as running, walking, and weightlifting, can help increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, regular exercise can help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of falls and fractures in older adults.

4. Improved Cardiovascular Health: Exercise is critical for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. Regular physical activity can help lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.

5. Improved Immune Function: Exercise can also help improve immune function. Regular physical activity has been shown to improve immune function and reduce the risk of infectious diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), regular exercise can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve immune function in adults.

Mental Health Benefits

1. Improved Mood: Exercise is essential for improving mood and reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Exercise can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve mood. Exercise has been shown to stimulate the production of endorphins, which are natural mood-boosters giving you a hit of happiness when you finish your workout.

2. Reduced Stress: Exercise is an excellent way to reduce stress. Physical activity has been shown to reduce the production of stress hormones, such as cortisol, and improve the body's ability to manage stress, helping to reduce/manage symptoms of stress and anxiety.

3. Improved Cognitive Function: Exercise is essential for maintaining cognitive function and reducing the risk of cognitive decline. Regular physical activity has been shown to improve memory, attention, and processing speed in adults. According to a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, regular exercise can help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and improve brain function in older adults.

4. Improved Sleep: Exercise can also help improve sleep quality. According to the National Sleep Foundation, regular exercise can help improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. Exercise can also help reduce symptoms of sleep disorders, such as insomnia.  There’s nothing better than the feeling of being both mentally and physically tired so that you fall asleep within minutes of your head hitting the pillow!

5. Improved Self-Esteem: Exercise is essential for improving self-esteem and confidence. Regular physical activity has been shown to improve body image and self-esteem,.

Keeping moving is vital to feeling well and this is where having your body tuned-up and balanced out with Chiropractic adjustments comes in.  Exercise combined with Chiropractic care can reduce the risk of injury, improve recovery, reduce pain and inflammation and improve your posture.  If you are already exercising regularly or are thinking about starting getting your body checked over by a Chiropractor is a great way to enhance your ability to exercise and get the best results from your workout.
