The AlterG

Our AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill helps you exercise without pain while you recover from surgery, back pain, arthritis or other conditions sensitive to full weight bearing.

It’s easy to use the anti gravity treadmill many pro athletes use to recover from injuries. Just put on a special pair of running shorts, get zipped in and you are set to walk, jog or run pain free, with no pounding on recovering joints and muscles.

The AlterG can be incorporated as part of your exercise rehab program, or can be rented in 30-minute increments as part of your fitness or training program.

Be Kind, Help Others and Stay True To Your Self!

6 reasons why you need more protein in your diet.

1. To Lose Weight
A high protein diet will help you lean out and lose weight. Hormonally, you will feel more full and retain less fat when you eat a high protein diet. Your body will feel more satisfied due to your increased nutrient intake, which will cause you to reach less for unneeded snacks and high-calorie foods. While in the past you may have been told that calorie restrictions and eating high-fibre roughage (think salads) are the key to weight loss, eating your adequate protein levels is a much better and healthier means to achieve your ideal weight.

2. To Build and Sustain Muscle
The amino acids in protein aid your body in the development of muscle and helps your body go through several processes. A high protein diet will help your body continue to develop muscle and sustain the muscle that you have already.

3. To Increase Energy
Protein is also essential in creating energy through the electron transport chain. Without the proper levels of protein for your activity level and body weight, you will not have adequate energy to fuel your body and allow you to perform optimally. Listen to your body. If you are feeling sluggish, increase your protein intake instead of reaching for an energy drink, and then gauge how you feel. The next time that you choose hot yoga over another episode of reality TV, your body will thank you.

4. To Feel Good
Your body will tell you what it wants and what it doesn’t. After eating, you should feel energized, not sluggish. If you feel bloated after you eat, it means that your body is not absorbing the protein right and the food is not agreeing with your digestive system. If this is the case, try an alternative protein source, see how you feel, and if you feel amazing, stick with that source.

5. To Stay Mentally Sharp
The amino acids in protein will help you stay sharp mentally. The same energy processes that your muscles go through when you exercise are the same energy processes that your brain goes through when you think. Make sure that you get your daily required protein levels to improve and maintain your mental cognition, and to avoid brain farts and increase your mental clarity in the future.

6. To Satisfy Hunger
Hunger is your body’s demand for more nutrients. Eating a high protein diet will help you feel fuller longer. Thus, when your body has a nutrient-rich diet, you will not get “hangry” (hungry + angry) at your friends and family.

When it comes to the protein-packed foods you eat and additional protein supplements you take, choose nutritional sources that make you feel good and that are good for you. Feeling hungry or need a sweet treat? Drop that candy bar and reach for a protein bar or shake. It will satisfy your sweet tooth and supply your body with much-needed nutrients and protein to keep you feeling full and satisfied.

Whether it’s a thick T-bone steak, a bowl of quinoa with veggies and tofu or a protein supplement, whichever way you like it, just make sure that you are getting your required protein requirements to keep your body in tip-top shape and ready for your next yoga class or aerobic excursion

POSITIVE VS NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE (in coffee and tea)

Positive effects of our daily caffeine (coffee/tea) consumption.

Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant and can have some positive effects on the human body. Caffeine in low doses is thought to be associated with an improvement in sporting performance, increased alertness and reduction in fatigue potentially lifting a person’s mood. Coffee and tea also contain some antioxidants which have positive effects on heart health.

Negative effects of our daily caffeine (coffee/tea) consumption.

However, increased amounts of caffeine lead to dependency due to increased tolerance and hence the need for greater amounts to gain the same stimulatory benefits. Heavy users who have to go without can experience withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and fatigue. Too much caffeine can produce restlessness, nausea, sleep difficulties, upset stomach, increased urine production causing dehydration, and cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats). It has also been associated with elevated blood pressure in sensitive persons.
