How Exercise Makes Your Brain Bigger, Better and Stronger
In today’s news we will look at the positive influence exercise has on your brain. New research supports that daily physical exercise may be one of the best things you can do to keep your brain healthy. Exercise has a powerful impact on hormonal production boosting chemicals that improve your mood, and positively affect perception, arousal, motivation and attention.
At the same time, exercise reduces levels of cortisol, a hormone that can damage cells in the brain associated with memory and learning. Exercising long and hard uses up the glucose stored in your muscles, making them respond better to insulin, so they can take glucose out of the bloodstream and replenish their energy stores. Exercise not only influences multiple processes in your body, but also initiates changes that protect your brain and makes it bigger and stronger. If you are looking for ways to improve your quality of life…JUST MOVE! Your brain will thank you. And of course, chiropractic care has been proven to improve brain function and health.

Lower Life Expectancy Likely Caused By Lifestyle Choices Welcome to this week’s Brain-Based Wellness News. http://www.fourwayschiro.co.za/ In today’s news we look at the impact poor lifestyle choices have on the life expectancy of younger and middle aged populations.

You Need an Exercise Routine for Your Brain
Welcome to this week’s Brain-Based Wellness News. In today’s news we will look the benefits of an exercise routine for your brain. Findings from an 8 year study of thousands of retired men and women, ages 75 and above, found that forcing your brain to work on difficult problems and juggling a variety of tasks — when done with care — was the equivalent to lifting weights with your brain. The ability to boost your brain’s performance potential for the rest of your life lies in how you exercise it. Here are 3 ways you can maximize the exercise your brain is getting. 1. At work: Attack your big challenges first and save the routines and repetitive tasks for later. 2. At home: Don’t sit and watch TV. Take on more challenging hobbies like crossword puzzle, play Sudoku, or make home improvement plans. 3. In relationships: Tackling difficult conversations with your partner or friends will improve the performance of your brain (and probably your relationship, too). Discuss big ideas and how to bring them to life. Science confirms that much like lifting weights, the more you take on, the mentally stronger and sharper you become and the longer you will get to enjoy all that life brings. And of course, chiropractic care has been proven to improve brain function and health. Get regular chiropractic checkups for the whole family, and make sure your spine and your brain are working the best they can. Your health will be better because of it.
