A Quick Look At Another Excellent Reason To Move and Exercise In Texarkana, Brain Health

A recent NY Times story focuses on a couple of studies showing growth of new brain cells (neurons) and the increased connections between cells with running.

Some studies are showing 2-3 X the number of new neurons with exercise and lifestyle compared to those with a poor lifestyle.

Exercise is critical for your health and future health.

Check out a little more of some of the why below…

If you want to safeguard your brain, make it to older age, and still be able to enjoy life – you can not escape from the indisputable fact that you need your brain working well.

It’s largely up to each of us whether that happens.

It’s not really our genes that determine our future health and that is GREAT news!

Your health future is primarily determined by how you express those genes (called epigenetics).

This is determined predominately by lifestyle factors… diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and exposure to various toxic substances.

You don’t have to run to live a healthy life.

You do need to exercise in a graded manner that is appropriate to you.

It’s our body’s movements and the good stresses it places on our systems that drive the health benefits of exercise.

Movement matters, a lot!

This is one of the principle benefits of chiropractic care.

We help you move better, so that your nervous system is able to function properly.

Your nervous system will not function optimally if you have abnormal postural changes, losses of range of motion, muscle tightness, etc.

Even small losses of motion and muscle tightness create changes in your nervous system and brain.

It’s this constant feedback between the body and nervous system that drives the majority of brain function and a huge chunk of neurological health.

Chiropractic is able to restore the normal postural mechanisms, muscle tone, and ranges of motion in order to improve function in your body… and that is one reason you should see a good Chiropractor in Texarkana!
