When the Cure is Worse than the Disease

In today’s health care systems, people as patients need to be involved in their own care. Ultimately, each of us is responsible for our own health and well-being. Prescription medication may be necessary in some cases, but unfortunately some patients may suffer serious side effects from required medications and/or harmful drug interactions.

In addition to expanding one’s own knowledge base, an important long-term strategy is to begin to make healthier decisions to provide a strong platform to help manage the effects of chronic disease. Beginning to institute and maintaining healthy lifestyle choices will benefit the welfare and well-being of our families and ourselves in the long run.

By helping restore spinal function and reducing irritation to the nervous system, regular chiropractic care helps to provide an environment in which chronic disease is less likely to flourish and your health can be maximized.

Newest Way To Lose Fat

Zen Bodi™ created a product that will melt the fat away. Dr. V. Giampapa took 2 years to develop his formulation. Fat cells produce a vital messenger called Leptin.

Leptin is the most powerful hormone that communicates to the brain that it no longer craves food, and tells the body when to start burning fat cells as energy. However, the problem starts when the fat cells begin releasing an inflammatory molecule called C Reactive Protein (CRP). CRP fuses to the Leptin molecules and blocks the brain messenger so that it tells the body its full. The metabolism is no longer balanced and the body goes into chaos.

Zen Shape, Zen Fit, and Zen Pro work together to promote fat loss, control appetite and hunger, burn body fat, build healthy muscle, support healthy cholesterol levels, promote healthy intestinal function and support a healthy immune system. Make this the year you take control of your weight loss by losing the fat, keeping it off and still maintain the muscle.

 

Health Spotlight

Did you know? Canadian health data shows that 3000 seniors die each year due to problems related to their medications, 88% of which are preventable. 18% of seniors who are admitted to the Emergency Room are because of problems with medications and seniors who take more than 4 medications are at risk of falling.

It makes perfect sense to have your medications reviewed by an expert who is trained to identify and address issues with medications, advocate for you at your doctor, simplify your medication list and help you to thrive!

“When it comes to medications, less is more”, states Mathilda, Senior Care Practitioner. A client recently said: “Thank you for giving me back my mom who I almost lost to overmedication”.

 

Trends in Fitness Routines

Did you know that stretching before a sport or event that requires explosive, fast movements can actually decrease your performance? 

Depending on the type of activity you perform, you may actually decrease the amount of power you can produce.  This could be your tennis serve or your vertical jump.  Dynamic warm ups involve putting your joints and muscles through ranges that are similar to your sport’s movement pattern thus preparing you for the exercise ahead without losing your body’s natural “springiness” that helps you with producing force.

Dynamic warm ups can help prevent injury as well!  Simple examples could be leg swings, light resistance band work, agility ladders or jumping.  For more info, check out our personal training or boot camps provided by South Sherbrook Fitness. Ask for Lester.

 

Core Strengthening Success

Many popular workouts that aim to strengthen your arms, legs, and abs give short shrift to many of the muscles that form your body’s core (the group of muscles that form the sturdy central link connecting your upper and lower body). Strong core muscles are essential to improving performance in almost any sport — and are the secret to sidestepping debilitating back pain.

Extremely sore muscles a day or two after a core workout means you probably overdid it and might need to dial down your workout a bit. Next time, try to finish just one full set of each exercise in the workout. You might also do fewer repetitions (reps) of the exercises you find especially hard. Once you can do reps without much soreness, build strength by adding one more rep of the harder exercises in each session until you’re doing the full number of reps comfortably. Then try adding a second set.

Delayed-onset muscle soreness is a normal response to working your muscles. Usually, it peaks 24 to 48 hours after a workout before gradually easing, then disappearing entirely in another day or so. But if you experience sudden, sharp, or long-lasting pain, check with yourPhysio; include https://passs.co/-toml9-GJo8 in your iPhone Passbook.

 

Work Stress – A real solution to a huge problem

Stress is a problem in the workforce, and part of the reason is the posture we assume while working at a desk. The seated position creates compression in the pelvis and the computer posture creates a collapse of the upper body. This dramatically affects the way we breathe, starving the body of the oxygen, the most vital nutrient our cells need to thrive.

The Block Therapy Chair Class is an amazing solution to stress. This 3-day, in office class will give real, transformative results and provide a lifelong approach to health and wellbeing. The results are not only for the individual’s health, but will translate to more efficient, productive employees. The common issue’s related to stress and immobility will be addressed and simple, proactive solutions that can be done in your chair will be the focus.

Radical Forgiveness

Here’s a radical thought…

What if the people who show up in our lives have a soul contract to help us learn our lessons? What if our Spiritual Team has placed them there because they know what’s on our list of lessons and emotions that our soul wants to experience in this classroom we call Life and that these other souls are simply playing their part, acting out their role to offer us a chance to look within?

If we take full responsibility for everything that is showing up in our lives and have the attitude that this is happening FOR ME and not TO ME, perhaps it would be easier to forgive the individual, or the event, and focus on learning the lesson presented so that it doesn’t repeat itself on another day, with another person, in a similar situation. After all, the lesson will continue until the lesson is learned!

Financial Well-Being

Have you ever looked at your investment statements and immediately felt stressed? Maybe your portfolio has dipped in value more than you’re comfortable with or everyone around you seems to be growing his or her money while you stay stagnant.

If this is the case, you and your portfolio need a financial checkup. Just like your fitness plan, your investment plan should be tailored to you and your unique lifestyle. This means selecting a strategy that not only helps achieve your goals, but also fits your tolerance for risk and volatility. There’s no need to dread opening your next statement when you and your investments are in sync.

 

Ask The Coach

Stressed and Confused asks: “I am so busy with life that I sometimes can’t remember things. It feels that if I have more stress in my life, I can’t seem to remember anything! Does this make any sense?”

Coach Gina Responds: “If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Stress is a result of toxic thinking. Your thoughts turn to memories, which are physically built into the nerve networks in your mind. Stress causes the wrong quantities of chemicals to be released into the body and can distort the DNA of the immune cells. With an increased amount of cortisol, your thoughts and memories in the brain shrink. When this stress chemical returns to a normal amount, your memories return. Entertaining negative or toxic thoughts, causes stress and memory loss. Conversely, entertaining positive or creative thoughts causes the proper amount of cortisol to release and calm remains, maintaining memory and encouraging a content state of mind. Guard your thoughts …and keep them! Be Well and ABOUND.
