For men over 40 looking to lose weight and improve health, focusing on high-fat foods can be beneficial. Fats provide 9 calories per gram and do not significantly impact insulin levels. Reducing insulin secretion is key to weight loss. Consuming the right fats enhances energy production and promotes hormonal balance, allowing the body to use stored fat for energy. Include these fats: extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flax oil, hemp seed oil, avocados, salted butter, high-fat whipping cream, and salmon.

SMA causes progressive muscle weakness and can impact mobility and respiratory function. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial.

Regular physical therapy can improve quality of life and slow disease progression. If you or a loved one is affected by SMA, consult with our specialized physiotherapists for a tailored exercise program. Let’s raise awareness and support those living with SMA this month.

Listen to Your Body’s Needs
As physiotherapists, we emphasize the importance of self-care to maintain optimal physical health. Prioritize regular stretching and strengthening exercises to enhance flexibility and muscle tone. Incorporate activities like yoga or Pilates into your routine to improve balance and core strength. Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet rich in nutrients to support muscle recovery and overall well-being. Adequate rest and sleep are crucial for healing and maintaining energy levels. Finally, listen to your body—if you experience pain or discomfort, seek professional advice promptly. Consistent self-care promotes a healthy, active lifestyle and prevents injury.
Reconnect with Reiki
In today’s fast-paced world, Reiki serves as a valuable tool for reconnecting with oneself. It offers support in revitalizing energy, alleviating daily stress, navigating life transitions, and fostering a spiritual connection. People come to reiki for all sorts of reasons. Some want to revitalise their energy levels, alleviate the stress of daily life, move through burnout, navigate life transitions with more ease or create momentum when they get stuck. Others are drawn to reiki for a spiritual connection, a desire to experience a greater sense of meaning in life. Beyond stress reduction, Reiki complements traditional pain management by potentially alleviating discomfort.
