Sharing an experiment and checking out a link for Naymz connections for Sue Burnett

Today as I was updating my Naymz profile I came across this really cool add on. Nothing to do with Health and Fitness in a physical sense but if we are to talk about the Health and Fitness of you company and profile then it comes very much into play.

Nordic Walk Goes Green....

1 Peterborough is one of the greenest environmental cities. Pictured to the left of the screen these wonderful Nordic Walkers who were once green at nordic are using this activity to help with sustainablity. You will see from this snapshot the streetlighting is being recycled to help them see where to go on a cold dark night.

2 Rather than use gym based cardiovascular machines dependent on fossil fuels for warmth the walkers are generating their own unique warmth and energy through this great cardiovascular activity of Nordic Walking.

3 In an attempt to save the planet and increase sustainablity, the carbon fibre poles used in Nordic Walking activities are designed to be kind to the ground, each pole plant aeriates the ground disturbing soil, good for worms and helping to improve drainage and increases nutrient distribution.

4 Greater energy efficiencies are acheived through Nordic Walking. Eco-friendly Nordic Walkers do not require power for their poles. The power for the walk is generated from the pole plant which enables the walker to burn up to 46% more calories than normal walking or treadmill walking. Which means it takes less Nordic Walking activty to burn off that cream bun you ate last week in the hard to refuse birthday bun run. Not only is Nordic Walking energy efficient it is an efficent work out too meaning that you can economise with your time constraints too.

5 Nordic walking is environmentally friendly putting you at one with nature, it enables you to improve your well being and helps you to be a custodian of the countryside. Studies have shown that outdoor activities significanlty increases well-being.

Folksworthy Nordic

According to a recent article in the register of exercise professionals journal, Nordic Walking is not just another fad and this turned out to be the case when I recently paid a visit to the Folksworth 15 on Sunday the 24th of January with my Nordic Walking poles. Whilst my fellow club runners were intent on pounding the rural roads through Folksworth and surrouding environs through high intensity running activity. I found it particularly inspiring to walk in a Nordic fashion complete with poles to see who might be interested in this fantastic, low impact, high results, activity of Nordic Walking. I set up stall in the community school and soon the race goers started to ask questions. A Riverside Runner said "would you be able to organise a distance walk at a good pace" As my background is endurance a distance walk at a good pace would be well within my capacity so my response was to ask "how far would you like to walk and at what kind of pace?" One Werrington Jogger approached me to say this would be ideal for his wife and he would let her know that Learn to Nordic Walk classes are now available at Werrington.

Next I found myself chatting to a marvellous man who is over 70 years young, he said "how do the poles differ to trekking poles?" He had some of those at home. "The trekking poles are different and useful in other circumstances and unsuitable for the activity of Nordic Walking, the pole is held a different angle. By contrast the Nordic pole is held an angle that minimises stress through the joints and in turn helps to improve postural imbalances" . This allowed me to offer the sprightly gent an opportunity to have a quick trial session. At the end of this sample session, he said with a big grin " I would like to do a lot more of this. There are some great places to go locally and it would be lovely to walk with other like minded people and I would prefer that than walking alone". He is now looking forward to joining a small group of a similar age at a class due to be launched in Bretton park soon. Other parts of the country have had a lot of success from Age Concern where Nordic Walking has become widely successful in helping people like Tony to become more active.

Shortly after I met a lady who had Parkinsons Disease and she said "I've been reading about Nordic Walking and how it can help people with Parkinsons " Recent medical publications highlight the facts: " Nordic Walking improves mobility in Parkinsons ". This lovely lady was keen for me to deliver a talk to her local group about the benefits of this new Nordic activity. As I was an accomplished speaker, a member of a local group, Anglia Communicators I said I woudl be delighted to offer a talk to this group as requested. What an amazing day, lots of interest from a diverse set of individuals, both men and women a lot of scope to allow others to benefit from this low impact activity which is destined to get big results!

Nordic On Walking

Last night in cool temperatures Peterborough people just got Nordic on Walking, at Werrington Sports Centre. Despite the fact it was cool the group remained high in spirits as the took their first Nordic Steps. The group set to get grips with their poles and learn a new physical activity called Nordic Walking. Their energy, enthusiasm and determination was second to none as they ventured out with their poles and paws. These fantastic Nordic novices were keen to improve their general fitness, tone up, and manage their weight. It is all too easy to pile on the pounds through lack of physical activity. Some activites like walking and running use lower body muscles which can lead to muscular imbalance. Nordic Walking uses up to 90% of all skeletal muscle providing the body a great workout for the entire body. It can burn off up to 46% more calories than normal walking. Making it an effective in helping to improve weight management. One member had been wanting to try Nordic for ages and was highly delighted with the instruction, quality of poles and starting to learn more about how this low impact activity can reduce stress on the joints, and have big results. This has certainly filled a gap for Nordic novices where other high impact sports such as running have left a hole due high stess on the knees, hips and back. Well done to all the novices that just got Nordic on Walking, you have successfully taken your first steps to better health and fitness.

Are you prepared for the cold and flu season?

There are more than two hundred different viruses which cause the common cold and three main types of viruses which cause the flu (influenza). All can be extremely contagious, regularly mutating causing different varieties of the strain allowing reinfection of a similar type virus. The seasonal flu virus kills more than 600 people in the UK each year and up to 13,000 during an epidemic. Antibiotics do not have any effect whatsoever against viral infections and antiviral drugs do not cater for any mutations which occur with the strain.

For this reason it is important to know what is available to you to help reduce the risk of catching a virus and when you have a virus how you can help your body recover. In this newsletter we take a look at some solutions to enhance your immunity.

How are viruses spread from person to person?

When someone coughs or sneezes into their hands and then if they touch a door handle, hand rail, computer keyboard, TV remote control, paperwork, moneyclothing or any object, then the virus will stay in an active state on that object for up to 24 hours. If someone touches an object contaminated by a virus and then subsequently touches their nose,eyes or mouth, they can become infected. Also if someone sneezes or coughs into the air, millions of tiny droplets cover approximately a 1 metre (3 foot) area, staying suspended in the air for a period of time before dropping onto and contaminating objects which people may touch.The length of time the droplets stay suspended in the air depends on the humidity which is the reason why these droplets can stay airborne for longer during the winter months.

Prevention...

Maintaining a strong immune system through good nutrition,including supplementation is important for all ages. The consultant who has provided you with this newsletter will be able to give you advice on good immune boosting supplementation. Please read below in this newsletter to learn about two groundbreaking patented anti-viral products developed using new technology which has proven to achieve remarkable results.


Anti-viral products

Effective against 143 disease causing pathogens

A patented antiviral technology(US patent #7,135,195) proven to be effective against 143 diseasecausing pathogens is used toproduce two products, Silver ShieldLiquid and Silver Shield Gel. The documented use of Silver for health benefits dates back to 2000 BC. As with other heavymetals like lead and mercury, silver has powerful anti-viral, antibacterial & anti-mould properties, however unlike other heavy metals silver is non-toxic to humans. The safety of silver combined with strong anti-pathogenic properties gave rise to the metal being used in a wide range of applications from various instruments used in hospitals including catheters and tracheal breathing tubes through to silver treated dressings & creams for burns and water filtration systems.

In the first world war, before the advent of antibiotics, silver was administered on wounds to prevent infections. In the last century we saw the development of silverware like cutlery, tankards and goblets for the anti-pathogenic properties and in this century silver is now used in systems in space shuttles. Using nanotechnology, silver ions have even been integrated into the
polymer which yarns are made to incorporate antibacterial benefits in clothing.

New aqua sol technology has resulted in 2 silver products which are significantly more effective than other products on the market. These patented aqua sol products are created by using 10,000 volts of alternating current. The resultant silver preparation resonates at 910 erahertz, with a pure silver core missing two electrons in its outer shell resulting in a solution
which has catalytic capabilities. This means that the solution can destroy pathogens and continually recharge to continue working, unlike other products on the market which have a limited effect


Both products are made using a patented process called aqua sol technology (see above). These unique products are significantly more superior compared to other silver products on the market. Both products will take between 3 to 6 minutes to disable and destroy a pathogen. These products can be used as a preventative measure or to help alleviate an existing problem.

Silver Shield liquid is deigned to be taken orally. Other uses include; Gargling with the liquid if you have a sore throat; Putting in a spray bottle to destroy pathogens in an area (beneficial to spray around someone’s hospital bed); Used in a nebulizer to direct the liquid into the respiratory system.

Silver Shield Gel is for external application. Rub into your hands to help provide your hands with up to 4 hours protection against pathogens. Apply to spots, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, cuts and burns. You can even use the gel as an anti-ageing product on your face and neck. When you have lines and wrinkles, these warm moist habitats provide an ideal home for bacteria which multiply in numbers and feed on skin cells, further deepening the lines and wrinkles.

Silver Shield Gel will help destroy these bacteria and therefore help prevent the deepening of the lines and wrinkles.
