Winter Bugs Me!

Hi,

I think it is fair to say that the gorgeous May weather we were having is long gone, and winter is well and truly upon us!

I know I mentioned the weather last issue, and I must admit I do love a weather report. Just ask my better half Jodi, who knows not to change the channel when the weather is on. But seriously, I am noticing more and more just how much the weather can affect our lives. It seems in the space of a week, nearly everyone one around me is fighting off some sort of bug! And for those lucky few that don’t have a bug, well, these people do nothing but worry about getting a damn bug! You can’t win.

I myself have been in a weird limbo between bug or no bug, which is sometimes worse than just having the bug and getting over it. I am trying hard to fight it by trying to get more sleep, backing off the exercise and by taking a whole heap of vitamins and supplements prescribed by Janet our Naturopath.

I am actually quite proud of myself. In the past I would have just kept going and going, ignoring the warning signs, until I finally broke down. And when I did break down, I broke down big time!

Now, as I get a little older and my responsibilities increase, I am finally listening to my own message of taking preventative health measures and surrounding myself with a support network of quality health practitioners (I don’t really have an excuse now that I own a health clinic now do I?)

Why not help keep your friends, peers and family in good shape this winter by sending them to us at Elevate. Not only will you avoid catching nasty bugs, because your mates will be healthy. You will also receive a $20 voucher for every person you send in for you to put towards your own health treatment.

Eating for a Healthier Weight Tip #1: Don’t diet

By Mandy Turton, APD Dietitian

There Are No Secrets

Losing weight and keeping it off is an allusive goal for many people. There are no secrets to the underlying principles of weight management: “eat less, move more”. Alas, we just don’t seem to be very good at it.

This article introduces the possibility that it is not the dieter that is at fault, although we are each responsible for what we put in our mouth, rather the methodology of dieting itself that may be flawed....READ MORE

 

 

Which shoe for you

By leading Sports Podiatrist Stewart Hayes

If an average 70 year old walks over 110,000km (2-3 times around the world), then how many kilometer’s does a runner or triathlete cover in their lifetime??

It is a difficult question to answer, but it does illustrate the importance of your feet. There are a multitude of ligaments, tendons, muscles and a total of 28 bones in each foot.

The feet are the foundation for your body and will influence knee, hip, pelvic and lower
back function. 

The correct sports shoes can dramatically help your overall posture, muscle efficiency, fitness/fatigue levels and reduce the chance of overuse injuries, which in the long run will result in improved performance/earnings.READ MORE
