THE POWER OF MUSIC FOR MENTAL HEALTH:

Reduce Stress and Boost Well-Being

By intentionally incorporating music into your daily routine, you can boost your mood, reduce stress, and support overall mental well-being.

Music has an incredible ability to influence emotions, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

Music can lower cortisol levels, slow the heart rate, relax muscles and activate brain regions linked to positive emotions.

Humming or singing to music stimulates the vagus nerve, which regulates stress responses and promotes relaxation.

As a recently diagnosed Adult ADHD'er who has always "hummed", I find it amazing how the body can naturally "self-soothe" and find a state of relaxation, in order to enhance homeostasis and quality of life.

What are your thoughts?

Poor Skippy… 😩🙀😢

It is very lean though & SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper & more sustainable than beef “apparently”

Would you eat Skippy Bolognese?

This pasta dish is more sustainable than beef or pork mince and simple enough for any home chef.

Hey Friends & Collegues, I highly recommend Stretch Fit & Anthony Lett, so let’s get on board with this & support the research.

Free 5-minute fitness assessment!!

There's no hidden agenda or sales pitch here. It's for my own interest and may result in an app. If it does, you'll be the first to try it for free. READ ON!
This assessment is designed to analyse your overall approach to fitness and training. The goal is to understand your perspective on fitness, examine how well your current practices align with your goals, and identify any gaps between your actions and objectives. Many people find themselves disappointed with their progress because they may not fully understand why they’ve chosen certain exercises or how these align with their goals. Others might do a bit of everything, hoping for results but ending up with limited progress. Additionally, some people lack a clear understanding of what fitness and health truly encompass, along with the essential components of a well-rounded, sustainable fitness program.
If you're beginning a new program or following an existing one but would appreciate expert advice or a second opinion, please type "yes" below. We'll send you a brief questionnaire and after reviewing your responses, provide insights and recommendations tailored to your specific goals and needs, helping you create a focused, sustainable path to reach your fitness objectives

Neuropathic Pain

*Neuropathic pain* is a type of pain caused by damage or dysfunction of the *nervous system*. It occurs when nerves themselves are injured, compressed, or otherwise malfunction, leading to incorrect signals being sent to the *brain.* Unlike pain that results from tissue damage (nociceptive pain), neuropathic pain is often described as *burning, shooting, tingling, or stabbing,* and can occur without an obvious injury.

Important info for all those involved in regular exercise & even more so for older dancers, gymnasts, athletes etc that have had any form of hip, back, leg injury.

Learning to correctly engage the smaller deep (local) muscles, as well as the superficial (global) muscles with precise technique is what ALL training with is about 😆💪💕

The images below from Neumann depict how muscles can create forces opposite to those commonly attributed to them in the anatomical position. Below the Piriformis muscle becomes an internal rotator when the thigh is flexed to 90 Deg. Functional anatomy is not the same as static anatomy
