Whole Body Vibration helpful for Osteoarthritis
27 Aug 2010Whole body vibration has been shown to reduce the pain and disability associated with Osteoarthritis.
Exercise can reduce pain and disability by decreasing muscle inhibition and by improving local circulation. Unfortunately, most osteoarthritis sufferers tend to not adhere to an exercise regimen due to the discomfort associated with working out. The more difficult the exercise, the less likely they will do it. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is particularly suited for these people because it exercises the postural system.
WBV is easy to use, the exercise sessions are short and best of all it is safe.

Stress Relief with Whole Body Vibration
12 Aug 2010Exercising with WBV helps your body to reduce the levels of Cortisol. This hormone starts to show up when you’re stressed out and your system is running on overload. Cortisol is terrible for the body – it causes your body’s inflammation levels to go up, it robs you of sleep, wipes out your adrenal glands and after a while leaves you constantly exhausted. Whole Body Vibration helps to break down this damaging hormone and replace it with better hormones. We all know how well exercise works in combating stress.
It has been documented for thousands of years in Chinese culture that stimulating specific parts of the body affects well being. Acupuncture, focused breathing, massage and meditation are used to alleviate stress responses that adversely impact all the bodies systems. Through Whole Body Vibration (wbv) people can release stress, calming the spirit and balancing the body, heart and mind. A long-term academic study found that meditation exercises combined with the benefits of vibration training and fitness could substantially improve the quality of life by relieving symptoms caused by high stress environments, overwork and lack of rest.
With a proper training program, it can enhance the flexibility of the body, hand strength, control, flexibility and the sense of balance, releasing the deep healthy energy of the human body creating wellness and a strong, healthy mind.
Recent scientific research has shown that almost 70% of the population is suffering from dehydration, as a result of drinking coffee and alcohol, smoking, stress and not drinking enough water. This means that a lot of people do not have enough fluids in their bodies. Over 50% of our body consists of water, which is why the fluid balance is of utmost importance. This is augmented by diets where people are encouraged to eat less, which will decrease the amount of fluids taken in even further. This group should in fact drink a lot more water.

In: Nutrition
3 Aug 2010It is estimated that about 60% of the diseases in the world today are probably vitamin D-3 deficiency based. It has been well established that most people in the U.S. and around the world are vitamin D-3 deficient.
In the last 10 years a whole new science has come about of the effects of the hormone known as vitamin D-3 on the body. D-3 is has been referred to as a hormone rather than a vitamin. D-3 impacts your heart, organs and most every tissue and cell in your body. D3 targets more than 2,000 genes in the body. That’s 10 percent of the total number of genes in the human body. Deficiencies have been implicated in at least 17 different cancer types, cardiovascular disease, birth defects, and more.

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) can help you improve your flexibility very quickly! All muscles and joints that are stretched during WBV training are fully mobilized. The vibration also loosens adhesions, which positively influences flexibility even more. Research has shown that stretch exercises with vibration gave a greater increase in flexibility than stretch exercises alone. By using the WBV device in different positions it is possible to stretch different muscles. The Golgi tendon organs are activated during training, which promotes a high measure of relaxation. An extra advantage is that muscles are lengthened in a functional and active position, while not decreasing explosive muscle strength.
The Dog Days of Summer
25 Jul 2010As the sweltering days of summer linger you might find it difficult to stay motivated to stick to your exercise regimen, especially if you exercise outdoors. I suggest that this is the perfect time to mix things up and try something new: Whole Body Vibration.
Whole Body Vibration exercise provides many health and fitness benefits, and is simple and convenient. The mercury may be rising, but the numbers on the scale don’t have to. Think about doing WBV exercise in the comfort of your air conditioned house!
To make it even more convenient, let me ask you this: do you ever watch TV? If you answered yes, which I assume you did, then consider how easy it would be to do your daily exercise while watching your favorite TV show. What could be easier or more convenient?!
When can vibrations be harmful?
23 Jul 2010These days there is a lot of media attention and scientific research aimed at the effects of vibration training on the human body. Our body was made for movement. We have been perfectly equipped to absorb all of the vibrations we are confronted with in our daily lives.
However, the amount of mechanical vibrations we are exposed to has increased enormously over the last few centuries. Truck drivers, forklift drivers, construction workers and helicopter pilots absorb a lot of vibration on a daily basis. The complaints they suffer, mainly in joints and spine, cause tremendous problems.
There are some fundamental differences between vibration exposures Read the rest of this entry »
Using whole body vibration, just 10 minutes a day, 3-5 times a week can provide incredible fitness results and significant health benefits including: increased muscle mass, improved circulation, better flexibility and range of motion, improved balance, and mobility. It’s an incredibly easy, efficient, highly effective, and safe solution for those of all ages and fitness levels.
With age, or when muscles aren’t used enough, they lose their size and strength. Regular exercise and weight-training require discipline, considerable time, and many repetitions. Also, there’s a growing concern about the effect of lifting heavy weights on the joints, ligaments, and tendons of the body as we could be doing damage to them in the process.
