25.01.2022 How does sleep clean toxins from the brain ? During deep, nondreaming, slow-wave sleep (SWS), cerebral blood flow drops by 25%, reducing cerebral blood volume;... brain metabolism and oxygen consumption also fall at this time. The reduced cerebral blood volume allows cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flow backward (retrograde flow) about every 20 seconds and flood the third and fourth ventricles (internal cavities) of the brain This retrograde CSF flow, and its oscillations back and forth as we go in and out of SWS, is thought to contribute to the flushing away and disposal of toxic brain metabolites that accumulate while we’re awake. These new findings suggest possible correlation between the disturbances in SWS seen in many people in old age, impaired clearance of wastes from the brain, and cognitive issues of aging such as dementia and depression. #Neuroscience #Sleep #Toxins

18.01.2022 Interesting piece by Mathew Walker, a sleep scientist. He says: We have stigmatised sleep with the label of laziness. We want to seem busy, and one way we expr...ess that is by proclaiming how little sleep we’re getting. It’s a badge of honour." Sleep is one of my 4 pillars of health which I go into depth on in my upcoming book, The Four Pillar Plan - https://t.co/NoSWVOSzT6. With so many benefits of sleep, why are we struggling to get enough? I think it is a societal problem - in our busy, modern lives, by the time we have finished our work - we need time to chill out and catch up with our social life, so the thing that gets sacrificed is sleep? What do you think?

13.01.2022 What does this have to do with sports? Kids need activity, lots of it. Boys are medicated at higher rates because they are boys in many cases, not because they ...have some medical condition. If you are a young boy and you have trouble sitting in a chair all day under fluorescent lights you are normal. I'm glad these drugs weren't around when I was growing up. See more

08.01.2022 When the foot pronates the forefoot abducts away from the body’s midline. In this moment the big toe follows the movement of the forefoot - away from the body’s... midline. A flatter pronated foot is known as a valgus foot. A bunion - although there do appear to be two types of bunion is known as a hallux valgus. Effectively a pronated toe. A bunion is present where this movement of the toe (away from the body’s midline) is greater than it should be. It’s more valgus than it should be and we could suggest more pronated than it should be. In this case there is excess gapping at the first MTPJ (or big toe joint) - which is where a bunion is located as marked by the blue V on the image. Foot pronation as you likely know is a specific shape in the foot created by the 26 bones and 33 joints in the foot. Each of the joints on the midline of the foot should open / gap as the foot pronates. It is often the case that a bunion forms where there is excess opening in this joint. Excess opening of a joint appears to make up for a lack of such gapping at other related joints. More often than not you can look one joint up in the midfoot at the 1st metatarso-cuneiform joint to find that it is unable to open (I.e. abduct). In order to generate the necessary motion of pronation in the foot, the toe must pronate more now due to the lack of pronation in the midfoot, and the gapping will thus be excessive creating an environment for a bunion. In this scenario, the bunion is not the problem but may actually be acting as a solution (giving you more at one joint to make up for less at another). Can you get the joints of the midfoot opening in a pronation movement while mobilising the big toe joint to take the pressure off your bunion? #flowmotionmodel #whatthefoot #garyward #wakeyourbodyup #anatomyinmotion #bunions #bunion #bunionsurgery

07.01.2022 Body ALIGN COURSE The Body Align course is a beginner movement-based approach to aligning your body and posture. Most joints in your body move in 3 dimensions,... meaning front to back, side to side and rotationally. Each joint requires the joint above and below to move with the same amount of movement spectrum. For example, can your pelvis rotated equally left and right or do you have restrictions in one direction in comparison to the other? The aim of the course is to let you discover your body’s restrictions through movement and have an awareness of how to help yourself, fix yourself through movement. You achieve this during the course by learning how to assess your body’s movement restrictions, what movement you have difficulty with, and exploring movements which unlock these movement restrictions in a safe controlled environment. The course is designed for anyone who is currently experiencing pain, movement restrictions, aches, stiffness, alignment or posture issues or athletes wanting to be more efficient with movement will benefits from the course. There are two main goals of the course 1. UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR BODY MOVES self assessment is the key to understanding how your body moves. The course is built around how your body is moving, how each joint effect other joints and helping you identify how your body is moving. 2. LEARN TO MOVE YOUR BODY - Discover ways to unlock your body's potential through understanding whole body movement integration, joint dynamics, fundamentals of how to access full body movements. Learning how to constantly revaluation through movement and learning a daily movement program. The course is complete with an exercises library of movements send every week so that you can watch the movements anytime.
