Allergies and Menopause - what's the connection?

With the number of people experiencing allergies, Claire Snowden-Darling (Expert in Kinesiology and founder of Balanced Wellness UK) and I take a deep dive look at allergies, colds and our hormones. Allergies and increased sensitivities do happen more as we hit peri-menopause to post-menopause. However, the global trend for allergies and increased sensitivity is for it to appear in both genders throughout people's lives from childhood onwards with a 50% rise in children since 1997 according to research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Claire and I explore why this is happening and how an elevated histamine level, triggered by hormonal or digestion issues can massively contribute to allergy symptoms. PLUS we look at how kinesiology can help us identify and manage allergies.

Top tips in the morning to get you energised - Functional Kinesiology tips with Zoisa

Rhythms and cycles are part of nature. From seasonal cycles - Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter to daily cycles - day, night. Our bodies have a 24 hour cycle and also work with the seasonal rhythms too. In fact, every animal has its flow and also a routine to support its health. Do you have a morning or evening bedtime routine? Wake up and start your day with water to help hydrate and get fluids going. Invigorate and get the energy going by being under cold water for a few seconds at the end of your shower, drinking hot lemon/lime or rubbing some neuro-lymphatic points. What and where are the neuro-lymphatic points? These are points that run down each side of the spine both front and back. At the back, these run from the base of the skull down the neck and ribs until you reach your tailbone, and in front, across the shoulder/collarbone and down the ribs. Massaging these points raises your energy and clears toxins from the body.

Pilates, food and exercise. Why, what and when to eat for the best results

One of the most important things, as well as eating healthily, is to consider your blood sugar levels, which we look at in the Kinesiology triangle of health. Every time you eat - and not necessarily just sweet things - there is a whole digestion process going on to break down the food. The body breaks it down into energy so that it can either use it and if it can't use that energy up to fuel the muscles, then it just feeds that whole metabolism and digestion process. In this video we look at : ~ why it's important to think about what we are eating in terms of Pilates, movement and exercise, ~ why it's important to know and understand the relationship between eating and our muscles ~ what and when you should eat to get the most out of physical activity ** Key point to remember when eating to get the most out of our physical activity. ** Allowing yourself the time to digest food and thinking about those low glycaemic and slow glycaemic index foods that have that slow release quality can help you, and don’t just reach for the carbs! If you're too carby, then that can also create an imbalance in the blood sugars. Having an excess of root vegetables and those starchy carbs can also have an impact, as its harder for the body to process or digest. Remember, it’s the correct balance of protein, fibre and carbs in every meal – OR SNACK! – that will give your body the best chance to prepare you for your physical activity. #wellnesswednesday #wellnesswednesdaytips #digestivehealth #digestivehealthtip #digestionproblems #digestionhelp #nutritionadvice #pilates #pilatesonlineclasses #allergyawareness #foodallergies #touchforhealth #touchforhealthkinesiology #selfcarehealthcare #holistichealth #holistichealthcare #complementaryhealthcare #healtheducation #healthandwellbeingcoach #movebetterfeelfree
