Motion is lotion

Do you get stiff from sitting or standing too long.  Well a good way to get rid of this stress is to simply move.  Get up from your chair and go for a short walk.  The joints such as your spine and knees are synovial joints.  These joints have fluid between the joint surfaces.  When you don’t move for a while the fluid does not move.  The movement of the fluid is essential because it is the only way for the cartilage to get nutrients.  Moving is good for these joints and static postures are not as good.

Get up from your chair to lotion/lubricate your joints.

December Health Talk – Saving the Amazing Holiday Superwoman

Saving the Amazing Holiday Superwoman By Odette Bulaong, BSc, ND (and fellow Superwoman)

Something’s Gotta GiveIn order for the Holiday Superwoman to complete their never-ending checklists, as the saying goes “something’s gotta give”. Unfortunately, this “something” is often a woman’s health. For the most part, health conditions that start just before, during or after the holiday season are partially caused by the increased physical and mental-emotional stress that the Superwoman takes on with the increased pressures and demands of the season.
