Arthritis is a chronic condition which can destroy your joints. It causes weakness and loss of movement, and sufferers are at an increased risk of heart disease. It affects three times as many women as men. A pilot study on arthritis patients by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology suggests that high intensity training not only does not aggravate their condition, but has positive effects on heart disease risk factors. 18 women with arthritis, between the ages of 20-49, participated in 10 weeks of intense training on a spinning bike twice a week. The participants showed improved endurance and they suffered less inflammation as measured by the inflammation marker C-Reactive Protein. They also saw a significant increase in oxygen intake,which helps in reducing the risk of heart disease, and a small reduction in body fat and waist measurement.

I love using calming breathe techniques during stress too. But I don't believe in those chakra things at all. Leave a Reply. |
