24.01.2022 3 little words... Lifting weights rocks
21.01.2022 I’ve made this birthday cake for my Gym & Tonic member, Ding. Celebrations first, then walking today.
21.01.2022 Meanwhile....at the Gym and Tonic Studio...
20.01.2022 Today I'm talking about the posture you have when you walk. (It's my Spider impersonation in case you're wondering!)
16.01.2022 Yay! It’s Friday! Let’s meet on Bradman Oval at 9.30am for some Fun-Fitness. (You know you’ll feel better for it.)
16.01.2022 Reminiscing. When I started teaching in the Highlands, 20 years ago! The original rig.
15.01.2022 Causes of: MENTAL CONFUSION By: Arnaldo Liechtenstein, physician. Whenever I teach clinical medicine to students in the fourth year of medicine, I ask the following question:... What are the causes of mental confusion in the elderly? Some offer: "Tumors in the head". I answer: No! Others suggest: "Early symptoms of Alzheimer's". I answer again: No! With each rejection of their answers, their responses dry up. And they are even more open-mouthed when I list the three most common causes: - uncontrolled diabetes; - urinary infection; - dehydration It may sound like a joke, but it isn't. People over 60 constantly stop feeling thirsty and consequently stop drinking fluids. When no one is around to remind them to drink fluids, they quickly dehydrate. Dehydration is severe and affects the entire body. It may cause abrupt mental confusion, a drop in blood pressure, increased heart palpitations, angina (chest pain), coma and even death. *This habit of forgetting to drink fluids begins at age 60, when we have just over 50% of the water we should have in our bodies. People over 60 have a lower water reserve. This is part of the natural aging process.* But there are more complications. Although they are dehydrated, they don't feel like drinking water, because their internal balance mechanisms don't work very well. *Conclusion:* People over 60 years old dehydrate easily, not only because they have a smaller water supply, but also because they do not feel the lack of water in the body. Although people over 60 may look healthy, the performance of reactions and chemical functions can damage their entire body. So here are two alerts: 1) *Get into the habit of drinking liquids*. Liquids include water, juices, teas, coconut water, milk, soups, and water-rich fruits, such as watermelon, melon, peaches and pineapple; Orange and tangerine also work, as well as cucumbers. *The important thing is that, every two hours, you must drink some liquid. Remember this!* 2) Alert for family members: constantly offer fluids to people over 60. At the same time, observe them. If you realize that they are rejecting liquids and, from one day to the next, they are irritable, breathless or display a lack of attention, these are almost certainly recurrent symptoms of dehydration. Arnaldo Liechtenstein (46), physician, is a general practitioner at Hospital das Clínicas and a collaborating professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (USP).
15.01.2022 Is Stress Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Results? John Leyva. BUILTLEAN. February 20, 2016 Medically Reviewed. This is an old article but very poignant today. Stress!

14.01.2022 The ground rules of PLANT-BASED EATING. By Karen Fittall. The popularity of a diet based on fruits and vegetables continues to grow, but there is a knack to making them work so you don't miss out on imperative nutrients. (I found this article in a brochure from chemistwarehouse.com.au BUT it has good basic info, so I wanted to pass it on).

09.01.2022 Calcium + sunlight = strong bones. Calcium from wholesome foods, plus vitamin D from 20-30 minutes of sunshine daily makes our bones strong. Vitamin D from the sun, helps our bones absorb the calcium that we eat. We also keep calcium circulating in the body through exercise.

04.01.2022 FEBRUARY 23, 2021 In the wake of COVID-19, Fitness Australia Chief Executive Barrie Elvish considers the role of exercise and fitness in preventative health care. Elvish notes looking after your health and wellbeing with a sensible lifestyle, regular exercise and a balanced diet isn’t a new scientific discovery, nor is it the latest new year’s resolution trend of 2021.
