The Importance of Exercise by Joanna Rushton |
Numerous statistics and references today indicate that levels of disease, dysfunction, drug dependency and obesity are at an all time high with 52% of Australian females and 67% of Australian males in the obese category, that’s an average 60% of the Australian population that is dangerously over weight.
Diet and exercise are two crucial components in the reversing and prevention of obesity and other major diseases such as heart disease and cancer, however without sound knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of exercise and nutrition and how they effect the psychology of the body an individuals good intentions often lead to further physical mental and emotional stress on the body.
It is never the case that exercise is inappropriate, but rather that the appropriate exercise is selected in accordance to an individuals overall health. You may be bed ridden or have been diagnosed with cancer but there are still forms of movement combined with breath work that are suited to positively stimulate the healing process of the bodies’ systems in that environment.
Exercise in its purest form is the movement of life force otherwise referred to as Chi or energy around the body by combining movement with breathing.
When the correct choice of movement and breath are made to support an individual’s physiology and psychology then positive adaptation will result. However, the reverse is true when the wrong choices are made. I have had many clients seek my help when their own attempts to engage in a nutrition and exercise program left them gaining weight and feeling tired, unwell and depressed.
If you are somebody who is trying to get their health and well being back on track or suffering from cancer or other life threatening disease and are seeking guidance as to how to effectively incorporate exercise into your healing journey then please don’t hesitate to contact me on 0412 271 224
