Chiropractic’s secret Others have found it, have you?

Millions of people, all over the world for the past 120 years have been using regular chiropractic care as their secret to keeping themselves and their families living life to the full.

Many people know how effective chiropractic care can be for alleviating pain and symptoms when they happen but the real miracle that is chiropractic, comes when it is used regularly and not just when pain or symptoms are present.

Within my practice and many other chiropractic practices around the world, people choose to use chiropractic care to maximise their quality of life. They do this so they can be out there doing and enjoying what they love and value, gaining maximum enjoyment for it. This may include recreation activities, sports, the gym, hobbies, climbing the corporate ladder or peak work performance or even just enjoying their family time. These people have understood that it is wise to build wellness through regular healthy habits and choose regular ongoing chiropractic care as a part of that.

Aside from the benefits of less pain, regular chiropractic care has been shown to help with a persons immune system function, thinking, motivation and quality of sleep. While also decreasing stress and the need for many medications, preventing unnecessary pain, suffering and additional health costs.

In much the same way as person would choose to do regular exercise, eat well and remain positive in their thinking, all of these things as well as chiropractic care are best done regularly for a life time.

So are you using chiropractic as your secret wellness tool to express your full potential? If not, why not, ask what regular chiropractic care might look like for you and your family. It has the potential to add life to your years and potentially years to your life.

7 benefits of regular exerciseWith weight management being such a hot topic in the media, what role does exercise and diet play?

Weight management aside, there's a host of other reasons getting moving is vital to a healthy life.

Whether it's jogging at dawn, cycling to work, playing team sport or squeezing in a dance class or visit to the gym, a desire to lose weight is a key reason many people make the effort to exercise.

But when it comes to whittling your waistline, the relative importance of exercise compared to diet is the subject of fierce debate. In a recent issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine, a trio of doctors argued the latter. They stated you "can't outrun a bad diet.”

But others like Tim Olds, Professor of Health Sciences at the University of South Australia, argue that exercise isn't a waste of your time if you want to lose weight, although he concedes its impact is likely to be smaller than changing your diet.

Nonetheless all experts agree; exercise is very much worth making time for, weight concerns aside. In fact, it's one of the most powerful "medicines" we know, helping to prevent a host of health conditions with virtually no side effects. (In fact, being inactive is ranked just behind cigarette smoking as a cause of ill health).

So here are seven compelling reasons (other than weight loss) to stick with exercise:

1) You'll slash your risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes

Switching from being inactive to doing 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise a day (eg brisk walking), can reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes by up to 40 per cent. Since heart disease is still

the number one killer in Australia, it could arguably be the most productive 30 minutes in your day.

2) You'll reduce your risk of certain cancers (and their recurrence)

Being a regular exerciser reduces your risk of colon, prostate, lung and gastrointestinal cancer if you're a man, and breast and endometrial cancer if you're a women.

It is also known that resuming regular exercise after cancer treatment can improve your long-term prognosis if you've had cancer. There's even growing evidence that if you're currently undergoing cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery not only is exercise safe, but it can also lead to significant improvements in day-to-day functioning, intensity of symptoms, fitness, and overall health-related quality of life.

3) You'll keep your bones strong

Moving our bodies exerts forces on bones that make them grow strong. If you don't want bones that become brittle and prone to fractures later in life, you need to exercise before your later years, ideally throughout your whole life. But some types of exercise are much better for bones than others.

Weight-bearing exercise like jogging, dancing, hiking and stair climbing is great for bones, but non-weight-bearing forms like cycling and swimming aren't (although they're still brilliant for fitness). Bones also respond well to resistance exercise (involving machines or free weights).

4) It can help you ward off dementia

Protecting yourself against dementia involves having a brain-healthy lifestyle and exercise is one of the key elements of this. It's partly because exercise helps keep your blood vessels in good shape and with growing new brain cells and new connections between brain cells. says Dr Maree Farrow, a neuroscientist and research fellow with Alzheimer's Australia says.

5) You'll give your immunity a boost (usually)

Overall, regular exercisers report fewer colds and other flu-like bugs than their inactive peers, says the Australian Institute of Sport and the American College of Sports Medicine. And when you do moderate to vigorous exercise (eg brisk walking, cycling, swimming, play a sport), there are several positive changes in your immune system, including enhanced movement of important immune cells throughout the body.

Although these changes are temporary, each exercise session represents a boost that

reduces the risk of infection over the long term.

6) You'll sleep better

Exercise can definitely help you sleep better but it's all about the timing, says Australia's Sleep Health Foundation. Exercising first thing in the morning is best for most people to improve their sleep at night; however evening exercise can also help so long as you aim to be finished no less than two hours before your bed time.

All exercise is good, the foundation says, however vigorous, aerobic exercise is the type most associated with an increase in sleep quality. And exercise is one of

the few things we can do to improve the amount of deep sleep you get, which are the phases most closely associated with feeling refreshed when you wake.

7) Your mood and mental health will improve

When it comes to the mind, exercise is a wonder drug says Dr Nicola Burton, senior research fellow in the University of Queensland's school of human movement studies.

"We're not only talking about preventing poor mental health or treating it, but promoting good mental health. Even if you don't have

depression or anxiety or a serious mental illness that you want help managing, you can enhance your wellbeing and vitality."

This is because exercise can boost mood, concentration, alertness, and even make you more optimistic.

Indeed not only do regular exercisers have better mental health and emotional wellbeing and lower rates of mental illness, but studies that track people over time show taking up physical exercise seems to reduce the risk of developing mental disorders. You could say it's a no brainer.
