Exercise Your Right to Vibrant Health..
...but not too much!
Dear LEC Reader,
As a generation, we Boomers have been more active than any generation
previous. Our folks may have survived the Great Depression and fought in
the Second World War but after they got home, work is the only thing they
did.
They wore themselves out being cogs in the industrial machine. And what
do they have to show for it? Flabby weak bodies, strokes, heart attacks,
Alzheimer's and social security...
We've perceived the problem and have been running away from those images
ever since.
Since the 1960's we've been burning the candle at both ends and the middle.
From sincere activism and serious partying we dove head long into work.
To obviate the effects of flying desks or assembly lines we played hard.
We have faced more stress in one year than our ancestors faced in a lifetime.
It's taken its toll and it shows; in our joints (and elsewhere).
Let's start with the obvious: muscles when over used will rebuild given
rest and the proper therapeutic exercise. Rest, that's the key word here:
no more training every day of the week! For every day of hard training
there are 2 to 3 days of immune suppression following!
On another matter, muscles need specific nutrition to heal from the repeated
micro injuries incurred while training, and no, I don't mean they need
just protein, they need different stuff than that.
Dr. Max Wolf M.D. and Ph.D. times 7 of Columbia University found that
as we age or are under stress our bodies' own production of enzymes is
depleted. Age related changes he said are directly attributable to depletion
of enzymes.
With 40 years of use and over 160 peer reviewed verifying studies behind
it, systemic enzymes are the second best selling over the counter preparation
in Germany.
