The Benefits of Rebounding for 5 minutes

5 September, 2017/in /by sguthrie

What is rebounding ?….

Research has led some scientists to conclude that jumping on a mini-trampoline is possibly the most effective exercise yet devised by man, especially because of the effect rebounding has on the lymph in the body. It is safe, easy to use, and effective.

The human body needs to move. The lymph system bathes every cell, carrying nutrients to the cell and waste products away. Contrary to blood which is pumped by the heart, the lymph is totally dependent on physical exercise to move. Without adequate movement, the cells are left stewing in their own waste products and starving for nutrients, a situation which contributes to arthritis, cancer and other degenerative diseases as well as ageing. Vigorous exercise such as rebounding is reported to increase lymph flow by 15 to 30 times.

In Systematic Kinesiology we use a system of reflexes that stimulate the flow of lymph to the related muscle and organ. There is twice as much lymph as blood in the body. It is a non-cellular fluid. It permeates the tissue where blood cells that are imprisoned in capillaries cannot go since there are too large. The lymph feeds and cleans the bodies tissues.

Lymph vessels can become clogged with protein deposits or the flow can stagnate or even stop for reasons such as fatigue, stress, infection, emotional shock, lack of physical activity or dehydration. Toxins accumulate, cells are unable to function properly resulting in various metabolic and infectious problems.

All cells in the body become stronger in response to the increased “G force” during rebounding. Vertical motion workouts such as rebounding are much different and much more beneficial and efficient than horizontal motion workouts, such as jogging or running.

When you bounce on a rebounder (mini-trampoline), several actions happen:

An acceleration action as you bounce upward
A split-second weightless pause at the top
A deceleration at an increased G-force

Jumping on a mini-trampoline directly strengthens the immune system, so it’s a big deal! These immune cells are responsible for eating viruses, bacteria and even cancer cells, so it is good that they be active.

Rebounding Safely

Everyone should start with the gentle bounce; let your feet remain with the mat while the body moves up and down. The bounce is sufficient to obtain all the benefits of rebounding while gently strengthening the entire body. It is recommended that you rebound with bare feet so you do not slip. Do not wear tight or constricting clothes. The more jiggling, the more your lymph system is flushing out those toxins!

Start with 5 minutes of rebounding and increase their time as their fitness level improves. Seniors can start with 2 minutes several times per day, with at least 30 minutes between rebounding sessions. Increase your rebounding time gradually.

Inactive seniors find that gently jumping on a mini-trampoline gives them renewed vigor and zest for life. Hyperactive children are reported to calm down after a few days of rebounding. Everyone can do this and people can use the rebound mini-trampoline whenever they have a few minutes during the day.

Just some of the Benefits

Boosts lymphatic drainage and immune function
Great for skeletal system and increasing bone mass
Helps improve digestion
Rebounding helps circulate oxygen throughout the body to increase energy.
Rebounding in a whole body exercise that improves muscle tone throughout the body.
Some sources claim that the unique motion of rebounding can also help support the thyroid and adrenals.
Rebounding is fun!

Have you ever looked out the kitchen window and see the kids bouncing on the trampoline and think that looks fun… well it is and it is so good for you. So next time take a few minutes and jump on the trampoline and feel the benefits in your body.

The Health Show Episode #11 – Sugar Insulin and Diabetes

23 August, 2017/in /by sguthrie

The Health Show Episode #11 – Sugar Insulin and Diabetes

Sugar Insulin and Diabetes – How understanding blood sugar, insulin, insulin resistance, macro nutrients, supplements, essential fats and reading labels will help you prevent diabetes! There’s a LOT in this month’s Health Show!

For every expert recommending some new health fix, there’s someone else telling you to try the opposite. But something we are all on the same page about is sugar – specifically, added sugar, that is doing us more harm than good. But overall our love of carbohydrates is making us fatter, more tired, and less happy!

While we all know we should consume sugar “in moderation,” it’s easier said than done, especially when it is found in foods as added, and often hidden, ingredients. The WHO (World Health organisation) recently published guidelines on sugar intake for adults and children saying that no more than 10% of a person’s energy intake (calories) should come from free sugars. In Ireland, the National Adult Nutritional Survey in 2011 showed that on average our diets contained 14.6% energy from free sugars.

Watch Siobhan Guthrie’s overview and introduction to this big topic – about our nutritional needs, proteins, essential fats, carbohydrates and what to do to keep our insulin levels low, which will prevent many long term health conditions

[jwplayer player=”4″ mediaid=”6731″]

In today’s Health Show we offer practical tips on helping get the focus away from carbohydrates (such as sugar) and onto proteins and essential fats into the diet, so that you feel satiated, have more energy and long term good health.

Symptoms of blood sugar imbalance:

Tiredness, ratty, stressed, HUNGRY all the time,
Prone to infection (especially your teeth and gum disease)
significant health problems because it’s associated with obesity, heart attacks, polycystic ovarian syndrome, cancer and other serious conditions.

INSULIN – a hormone that is secreted by the pancreas in response to the foods you eat.

Health Tips:

– Add oily fish into your diet
– Use Avocados – great for adding essential fats into your salad
– Hummus – This middle eastern snack is high in protein!
– Beans -Most beans have about 7-10 grams of protein per half cup
– UDOs Oil has the perfect blend of Omega 3/6/9.

Become sugar smart

Understanding food labels is a great tool in becoming sugar smart. Added sugars can come under many different names and are listed to disguise how much sugar is in the “food product”:

• Corn syrup, Golden syrup, Maple syrup.
• Honey, Malt syrup, molasses

• Glucose (twice as sweet as fructose)
• Fructose
• Sucrose
• Maltose
• Dextrose
• Galactose
• Lactose
• High fructose corn syrup
• Invert sugar
• Hydrolysed starch

And the list goes on! Dextrin, Maltodextrin, Barley malt, Beet sugar, Date sugar, Diatase, Fruit juice, Fruit juice concentrate, Dehydrated fruit juice, Fruit juice crystals, and Agave.

Supplements to help reverse Insulin Resistance and help with sweet cravings

If you are interested in getting some chromium, zinc, magnesium or other supplements to help balance your blood sugar you will find the ones Siobhan recommended by visiting this site. https://www.pharmanord.com/ or from your local Systematic Kinesiologist.

Our next Health Show- episode #12 will take place on the 20th September and with kids heading back to school we will be discussing ”Children and young adolescents achieve their potential academically in today’s world”

If you want to know about the muscle testing Siobhan demonstrated come along to one of our Taster events or find our about our upcoming Balanced Health Courses.

”His Blood Sugar levels were dramatically reduced”

21 August, 2017/in /by sguthrie

”After three treatments Francis blood sugar levels are down to 45”

Living with Diabetes is a huge challenge in today’s society. Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Ireland, increasing at a faster rate than other chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The total number of people
living with diabetes in Ireland is estimated to be 225,840.

By 2020, it’s predicted, the figure will have climbed to 233,000 people with the condition – and by 2030, it’s predicted, it will be at 278,850.

Emotional and behavioural factors can contribute towards your sugar level, outside of the poor choices people make like poor eating habits, no exercise, excess sugar in the diet and alcohol consumption.

Often not dealing with stress, anger or anxiety can be the underlying problem of diabetes diagnosis for some people.

Stress affects people with diabetes, including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and prediabetes . And managing stress isn’t as easy as just telling yourself to relax and get through your to-do list. When you have diabetes, stress can affect your blood glucose level, so managing stress when you have diabetes is just another way to work on managing your blood glucose level.

Type 1 Diabetes is rarely reversed but with the right dietary changes major improvements in blood sugar levels can be seen and a person can often reduce their dependence on insulin and medications.

Hear how Finola helped Francis Brenna with health issues including diabetes, he recently chatted to Ryan Turbidy about his treatments with Finola and how Kinesiology treatments have improved his health.

Listen in around the 14 min mark.

Steps Finola would recommend –

* Take a look at your diet. Reducing sugar intake is a must.
* Reduce or remove bread.
* A visit to a Kinesiologist will allow them to look at the way sugar is stored in the body and not allowing it to turn to energy. Sometimes toxins are affecting this pathway which can be treated with herbs. Minerals and vitamins can be introduced to improve the energy production cycle.

People can reduce their risk of developing or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by eating healthy, becoming more active and losing excess weight. To learn more join us this Wednesday on our Health Show where we will talk about defeating diabetes and controlling your blood sugar using natural medicine.

Health Show #10 – Gut health, leaky gut and what you can do

19 July, 2017/in /by sguthrie

“Leaky Gut” could be the cause of many health problems, but is it a cause or a symptom?

The health of our gut is key to our health, because not only does it affect the health of the liver, it also houses a big part of our immune system. Health Show Episode #10 covered the topic of a leaky gut, a condition that is associated with a wide range of seemingly unconnected symptoms. I aimed to shed some light on how as a Systematic Kinesiologist we can go about identifying and resolving this issue through lifestyle changes. We talked about how it occurs and what you can do to heal it naturally.

What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?

The official definition of Leaky Gut Syndrome is an increase in permeability of the intestinal mucosa. Luminal macromolecules, antigens, and toxins associated with inflammatory degeneration. Leaky gut is a name used to describe intestinal or bowel “hyper permeability”. Put more simply, large spaces develop between the cells of the gut wall allowing bacteria, toxins and food to leak into the bloodstream.

But the intestines are indeed permeable. Spaces do open up normally. It’s designed to let things through – so that nutrients and other molecules get in and out of the intestine. The production of Vitamin B in the large bowel is absorbed back into the body via the bloodstream.

Leaky gut is a condition that evidence suggests is a significant factor in our digestive and whole body health. The problem occurs when substances overstimulate the release of zonulin. Wheat and other gluten foods do this. The spaces between the cells become wider, allowing much larger protein molecules to get into the bloodstream causing an immunologic reaction. A key to resolving autoimmune problems lies here.

Solutions to Leaky Gut and digestive health problems generally

There are many things you can do if you’re suffering from digestive distress. Removing any predisposing factors, reduce inflammation, treat and remove other contributory factors and then focus on repairing the gut lining.

Predisposing factors could include antibiotics (they kill off your good bacteria as well as the bad), parasites, amalgams and other toxic metals, as well as food sensitivities. Avoiding sugar, alcohol and artificial sweeteners too. Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, and low stomach acid impacts on your ability to fight off bacteria and viruses. As we see in the demonstration in the video, there may well be an issue around low HCL and/or digestive enzymes. If that’s the case then taking HCL with each meal, as well as some good bacteria in the evening.
Decreasing inflammation nutritionally with Vit D3/K2, Turmeric, Ginger, Quercitin, Vit C, Zinc.
Other factors that may play a role in digestive health is the Ileo Caecal Valve (ICV). As we see in the video, this needs to be corrected as part of the whole person approach.

How to repair the gut lining

There’s a lot we can do nutritionally. We will test you for L Glutamine, Omega 3 fats, Zinc, as well as a good probiotic to establish which are the best for you.

All stress affects the body the same way

Most health problems are lifestyle related. So to really heal from gut issues we can’t just focus on the gut. We need to think about the food we eat, how it’s digested and what we’re thinking about. Being focused as to how we allow the body to rest and relax. Accumulating sleep debt also affects our overall health.

There will never be a full recovery in such cases until the digestive system is brought back into a healthy state. As well as the immune system supported and rebuilt.

The Health Show Episode #9 – How Adrenal Stress Impacts your Health

29 June, 2017/in /by sguthrie

The Health Show Episode #9 – How Adrenal Stress Impacts your Health

Wow .. what a great turn up and interest in our latest Health Show. We had the largest audience to-date, therefore it’s not hard to believe a lot of people are suffering out there from a range of adrenal stress symptoms.

Adrenal fatigue is estimated to affect around 80 percent of people in the world. This was one of the many reasons we choose Adrenal Stress as our topic for this episode of our Health Show. A lot of people feel deflated, frustrated and overwhelmed with symptoms and a lot of time they don’t understand what is happening.

It’s our opinion adrenal fatigue and stress can not only be managed but resolved with some techniques we use in Systematic Kinesiology. A practitioner can test you for nutritional deficiency, reduce emotional triggers, clear blocks in energy to improve the whole system and review your diet.

Watch our most recent show to learn how to recognize and address Adrenal Stress

The Health Show on Adrenal Stress was filled with so much information today and the half hour flew by quickly. As a result, we didn’t get a chance to demonstrate the iris contraction test which is an easy test you do at home. It measures your body’s stamina in response to light stimulation.

Adrenal Stress Test Directions

Here’s what you’ll need to take the test:

Weak (not too bright) flashlight or phone light
Mirror
Dark room

In a dark room, sit or stand in front of a mirror for about a minute to allow your eyes to adjust to the light. “Then shine a flashlight across one eye (not directly into it) from the side of your head. Keep the light shining steadily across one eye and watch in the mirror with the other. Firstly, you should see your pupil (the dark circle in the centre of the eye) contracts immediately as the light hits your eye. This occurs because the iris, a tiny circular muscle composed of small muscle fibers, contracts and dilates the pupil in response to light.

So the pupil normally remains contracted in the increased light, but if the pupil is uable to hold its contraction and dilates [opens back up] despite the light shining on it, this is an indication of fatigue.

Dilation may last for about 30-45 seconds before it recovers and contracts again. It’s a good idea to time how long the dilation lasts and record it along with the date.

If you have any difficulty doing this on yourself, do it with a friend. Have them shine the light across your eye while both of you watch the pupil size. (Source: Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome)

If you are suffering from stress and fatigue visit your local Systematic Kinesiologist. www.kinesiology.ie/practitioners

Mark your diary! On Wednesday 19th July on our next Health Show we will be covering digestive problems and the leaky gut. We hope to see you there and if you have any questions just post in the comment below.
