Explore your Senses for well being
Deb
We are built to be happy, and our bodies are amazing feedback tools. If we tune in, they will tell us what we need and what they like – also what they don’t! What lifestyle tweaks might increase your level of happiness? But first, let’s talk briefly about addictions. If you think you enjoy something but are actually addicted to it, you don’t get any true benefit. But how can you tell the difference between […]

Managing Respiratory Symptoms
Deb
So you’ve read my article on staying healthy over winter, but you got sick anyway. That’s life – we do our best to look after ourselves, but sometimes our bodies need a bit extra. Maybe they’re telling us to slow down and rest, or maybe we need to have a clean out. Treat early Stop. If it’s at all possible, cancel whatever you have planned for the next little while and rest. The quicker you […]

Your abdomen should go out when you breathe in, to expand the lungs, and go in when you breathe […]
Back to School or Work Health Tips

I’ve put a bit more time into exercise classes for seniors and have recently been working with the Brooklyn Wellness Hub. This is an article I initially wrote for their blog and for the Brooklyn Tattler. Holiday time is a good opportunity to rest and recuperate. But how can […]
Exercise Classes
Deb
I’ve just put together a website for my weekly exercise classes at www.getfit.kiwi Although my regular exercise classes are primarily for seniors, they are suitable for many other people as well. My Seated Exercise classes were originally for seniors with osteo arthritis, so include mobilisation exercises for the joints. We also focus on improving strength, balance and coordination. They may be suitable if you are new to exercise or cannot exercise standing up. Previous class members include […]
Questioning the Mainstream Narrative
Deb
I’m not here to challenge your view of what is happening in the world right now. But if you are already questioning whether this is all quite right, read on. Personally, I have my doubts about the truth of the widely accepted narrative. There seem to be a few different alternative viewpoints. We’re overreacting The first is that yes, CoVid19 is a new virus, but it’s nowhere near as bad as people think. The current level […]
