Often very simple exercises can help build the strength you need to support your weaker joints.

It’s even more important as we age that we work on maintaining core strength.��Did you know that light resistance training is the number one thing you can do to maintain Bone strength.

Did you know that there are several simple ways you can get a sense of whether your brain is healthy?

There are small, subtle signals in some of the day-to-day functioning we often take for granted.

You can tell a lot about how resilient your brain really is by noticing:

1/ How well you sleep and how refreshed you feel in the morning
2/ How well you can concentrate on tasks and shift focus when necessary
3/ How well you learn new things
4/ How well you bounce back from stress
5/ How well you maintain social relationships & read social cues
6/ Whether you have a good sense of smell

It's important to take care of the habits that protect these signals: move often, sleep deeply, stay curious, manage stress, and spend time with people who make you feel grounded.

Emerging research suggests creatine offers benefits for women at every life stage.

While traditionally known for supporting lean muscle and strength, it also enhances cognitive function, mood, and brain energy metabolism.

Potential benefits include supporting reproductive health and fertility, reducing cycle-related fatigue, and improving sleep quality on training days for menstruating women.

Thoughts, Trauma and Toxins can breakdown your nervous system. This stress can impact the communication between your brain and your body.

Why do we feel aches and twinges? Those sorts of feelings are our bodies communicating with us in a sort of “physiological language”.

Unfortunately, most people don’t understand what their bodies are trying to tell them – or, even worse, choose to ignore what they’re “saying”.

Here’s the big revelation: A lot of what we feel isn't actually a problem.

It's just our system trying to tell us something in the only language it knows.

Most of us learned to either overthink our discomfort or just power through it. Instead, we need to retrain ourselves to pause and tune in to what's happening.

It's not about fixing yourself or forcing anything to change. It's about learning to check in with yourself honestly and kindly and really noticing what's going on inside.

New research shows that soaking in hot water before training might actually boost your power output … and not just because your muscles feel warm.

Scientists tested three different water temperatures and found that the hottest option (42°C) produced the biggest improvements in jump height and explosive strength.

Here's what's happening: the heat increases blood flow and changes the internal pressure in your muscles, making them stiffer and springier – kind of like upgrading from a worn-out rubber band to a fresh one. This means your muscles can store and release energy more efficiently during explosive movements.

The practical side: If you need to perform at your best, a brief hot-water soak might give you a performance edge without tiring you out or adding extra strain on your body.

Think of it as a warm-up that actually primes your muscles to fire harder and faster when it counts.

Plenty of people like bending the elbow on these warm summer days.

But what do you do if your elbow stays bent?

Breathe in. Breathe out longer and slower. It’s that easy.

When you learn to control your breathing, you're basically getting a direct line to your nervous system.

Here's what's actually happening: slow, intentional breathing flips your body from stress mode (sympathetic) to rest-and-restore mode (parasympathetic).

It strengthens your vagal tone, shifts your brainwave activity, and basically tells your entire system to chill out in the best way possible.

Better focus. Less stress. Actual health improvements. And deeper connection to yourself.

Decades of neurophysiology research have confirmed (repeatedly) that your breathing is one of the most powerful tools you have for regulating your body and mind.

So next time you're overwhelmed, scattered, or just feeling off, pause … and breathe. Really breathe. Slow and intentional.

It's simple. It's free. And it works.

A Harvard study on happiness has found a correlation between mental acuity later in life and the strength of nurturing relationships early in life.

Numerous studies have pointed to evidence that the more you use your brain, the healthier it stays for longer.

As a result, we tend to think about doing puzzles, learning new things, and challenging ourselves through work as being the sorts of mental activity that keeps us “brain fit”.

But one extended study has found a correlation between long-term brain function and the positivity of relationships.

An 80+ year Harvard study on happiness, which involved researchers following participants into their 90s, found that many of the usual suspects – blood pressure, BMI, even education – didn’t reliably predict who stayed mentally sharp.

But emotional warmth did.

Those who reported more nurturing relationships early in life were over five times more likely to maintain cognitive health into very old age.

In other words, you can help your kids have healthier brains for longer by giving them love, encouragement, support, and safety in their formative years.

Some of your older family members or friends might be at the stage of life when they struggle to keep everything moving, particularly around their joints.

As we age, we either reap the benefits or pay the price of our youthful lifestyles.

It's never too early to establish good habits and routines around joint and mobility health.

If you want functional independence the good quality of life that comes from remaining mobile in your later years, start building up the "goodwill" in your joints today!

Did you know that there is no definitive period of time that you should stay in a sauna?

That’s because how long you stay in the sauna actually changes the benefits you get.

At the optimal temperature range of 80–90°C:

- In the first few minutes, your circulation is boosted and nervous system calmed.�
- About 10 minutes in, you experience improved oxygen flow and greater muscle relaxation.�
- It takes 15 minutes before skin purification, reduced inflammation, and detoxification kick in.�� - After a good 20 minutes, your immune system is properly activated, and you start to get the benefit of cardiovascular conditioning.

- At the 20-to-25-minute range, you tap into deeper longevity benefits like heat shock proteins, cellular repair, and immune activation.

Remember to always listen to your body so you don’t overdo things. Hydrate well and build up slowly. Consistency is what creates the real transformation.
