Natural Teeth Whitening Co. activated charcoal powder:

Natural Teeth Whitening Co activated charcoal to ensure you get perly whites. It is vegan friendly, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory whitening powder that is 100% natural with users seeing visible results within just one week.
Natural Teeth Whitening Co. activated charcoal powder removes stains and discolouration from the surface of your teeth to significantly whiten and brighten your smile whilst fighting cavities.

Made from premium, finely ground, activated charcoal, which is porous by nature, Natural Teeth Whitening activated charcoal powder binds with rough parts on teeth, usually surface stains, tannins and plaque, making it easier to remove the yellowing substances. Once the charcoal has been given enough time to stick to your teeth, it can be removed and when it is, the mineral takes the plaque, food particles, and surface stains with it.

Bentonite clay aids the charcoal’s work, absorbing heavy metals and delivering essential minerals, while organic peppermint soothes, fights bacteria, reduces inflammation and adds freshness. This product is suitable for even those with sensitive teeth and gums and is safe to use as often as desired.

Each of the products vary in their individual ingredients and tailored for males and females.

Meat Snacks Group, Interview with Rachael Burford…. What are your pre-match rituals? How do you balance your academy and training? >> www.meatsnacksgroup.com

FACEBOOK | TWITTER | LINKEDIN | YOUTUBE | INSTAGRAM

We caught up with English Women’s Rugby Star, Rachael Burford.

It’s all go for Rachael Burford, England’s Women’s Rugby star, player in the RBS 6 Nations and one of our ambassadors. Rachael has had a fantastic year, being team captain for the English Women’s rugby team and running her own rugby academy. We were lucky enough to have a catch up with Rachael to find out what life is like for the rugby player, how the sport has kept her going over the years and what her plans for 2017 are.

How did you get into playing the game and has there been any barriers you have overcome to get where you are today with 62 caps?

“I was very lucky that I didn’t see any barriers when I was growing up and my two role models were my mum and sister as they both played at Medway. So, I followed in their footsteps, to me it was normal to play rugby! When I played the boys team, I started out on the wing, until they started to see that I was in fact better than the boys so moved me in the middle of the pitch where most of the action happens at that age! Obviously there has been many barriers to my career to name a few, injury, personal family loss, being dropped, but I have also found myself to be stronger than ever when I have to be. As the quote says ‘you don’t know how strong you have to be until it’s the only choice’. In my times of hardship, I have always come back a better and stronger person and player for it.”
What are your pre-match rituals?

“I don’t have any really. My routine is often different and I try not to over think things. I stay focused but being relaxed about my approach helps me to not get too tense. I normally listen to music on the bus, unpack my kit and get changed straight away then I can relax…. I always enjoy a few jelly sweets pre-game!”
What is the best part of representing your county and how does it feel walking onto the pitch wearing the rose on your chest?
“The best thing for me is I know how proud it makes my family, particularly my father. We lost my dad in 2007 but rugby kept me going. Knowing how proud he was of me representing my country is what is with me every time I take the field.”

If you are a travelling athlete this summer, thePnut & theBrzl are deep tissue and mobility tools, that create tremendous muscle freedom. www.thepnut.com

FACEBOOK | YOUTUBE | INSTAGRAM

Any serious athlete that’s travelling, especially a rugby player, needs to be thinking about a serious recovery plan. Something that’s quick, effective and can be easily inserted into a busy schedule. Even something that can be added to other habits – like stretching.

What we’ve designed with thePnut and theBrzl, are deep tissue and mobility tools, that create tremendous muscle freedom in a short period of time. While being small enough to travel with.

They’re based on the same idea as a massage roller, except that they don’t soften and they target deeper parts of the muscle. Which means you spend less time to get the same result.

In addition to that, they’re made from beautiful recycled woods – which we find – leave you with a grounded feeling. Rather then using an inorganic material, like foam or plastic. And because they’re sealed with numerous layers of tung oil they won’t absorb moisture and they will repel bacteria.

FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM

Pure Nootropics offers independently tested smart drugs. We help enhance memory, learning, focus and general cognition.

Pure Nootropics was started in 2013 by health and fitness enthusiasts with an interest in improving their own cognition and brain function. Lacking good information and transparent providers, we decided to source the nootropics ourselves.

The philosophy of Pure Nootropics is to provide only the highest quality nootropic products. To do this, we rigorously test the purity and vet suppliers thoroughly. We achieve transparency by working within the nootropic community, existing customers, and using third party labs to verify our findings.

We also believe in providing the most honest information about nootropics. Not everybody needs to take nootropics in order to improve their cognition and we will guide you in the right direction even if it is away from our products. Guides and tutorials on our blog and email newsletter will help you to track results and take nootropics safely.

You will notice that we do not have a wide variety of products to offer. If we cannot find a better supplier that is safer than what exists, we will not sell it. Simple as that.

Pure Nootropics Optimal Sleep Complex

Formulated with ingredients that work with your body’snatural sleep cycle, Pure Nootropics Optimal Sleep Complex is essential for fighting jet lag and helping you get a more restful sleep while away from home. Combining natural ingredients magnesium, zinc, l-tryptophan, l-theanine, valerian root and lemon balm, this sleep formula reduces sleep onset latency, meaning it can shorten the amount oftime it takes for you to fall asleep, even when flying through multiple timezones. For those looking for an even deeper sleep, the plus version adds melatonin. Research shows these ingredients help you stay asleep, with little to no sleep disturbance so you wake feeling rested as opposed to groggy and tired, which can occur when taking prescription sleep aids.

Bean & Boy make all-natural soaps for the whole family. Our handmade soaps are crafted using responsibly-sourced vegan ingredients, pure essential oils and traditional methods. Inspired by nature, designed for sensitive skin and loved by families. Nothing artificial: no SLS, no parabens. www.beanandboy.com Cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise, protect.

FACEBOOK | TWITTER

We started making soap for our family when our daughter developed a mild form of eczema that was made worse by commercially-produced soaps and washes. We spent months researching, and tried out loads of different recipes and combinations to find the ones that work for our daughter’s skin – and for us too.

We settled on a combination of high quality ingredients, unfussy essential oil blends, and a slow soap-making process that is as close to the ancient traditional methods as possible. There’s nothing else added: no preservatives, no artificial colourants, no synthetic fragrances and no additional heat to speed things up. It’s just proper soap that has been given up to six weeks to fully cure.

The best things take time, and proper soap is worth waiting for.

What started out as a necessity and family hobby quickly grew into a mini production line in our kitchen as friends and family started coming back for more. When they began “preordering” before batches had cured, we knew we’d hit onto something special that we couldn’t keep to ourselves anymore.

Since then we’ve had our soap recipes certified and we have introduced new combinations specifically targeted at problematic skin. We have also just launched our brand new BABY SOAP – an amazing blend of ingredients that has been certified by an independent toxicologist as safe for infant skin.

We still make our soap in the kitchen, and each batch is carefully made by hand using the traditional cold process method. We don’t add anything to speed up the process, and we keep things as natural as possible. We only use all-natural ingredients that are vegan, cruelty-free and responsibly sourced.

Our packaging is all either recycled or recyclable, and most of it is biodegradable. We’re passionate about making soap that’s good for you and good to the environment too.

We are really proud of our soaps and we hope you love them as much as we do.

From our family to yours. Stacey & Graeme

We source all of the sustainablyproduced cotton, provide training where required, and quality check each facecloth before packaging

Rise-N-Shine ! Stay Up All-Day ! – Sleep Tight ! – Wake Up On Time ! >>> www.wakeupontime.com !

NOW AVAILABLE IN WALMART!

TWITTER | FACEBOOK | YOUTUBE | INSTAGRAM

Wake Up On Time™ has hit over 3,000 Walmart stores nationwide in the USA. Select Walmart locations throughout Texas will additionally carry Rise-N-Shine’s energy supplement Stay Up All- Day™ and its sleep formula Sleep Tight All-Night™.

While at Walmart last June, KNWA-TV, the NBC-affiliate for Northwest Arkansas, and Fox24 KFTA interviewed Cathy Beggan, President of Rise-N-Shine, about her Walmart experience.

“It’s something that I’ve been actually striving for since I started my business 10 years ago,” Beggan said during her interview. “This is something I’ve dreamed of and thought of and worked towards, so it’s really a wonderful opportunity.”

The goal of having her products on Walmart shelves has become a reality for Beggan, who started her company Rise-N-Shine, LLC in 2006. Wake Up On Time™ was conceptualized to solve an age-old dilemma that Beggan found she and many others she encountered suffered from — difficulties in waking up in the morning. An advocate of natural products and remedies, Beggan brainstormed with experts in the field to create Wake Up On Time™, a time-released capsule taken before bedtime to promote natural wakefulness following six to eight hours of sleep. Some have compared the Wake Up On Time™ energy formula to a natural replacement for their morning cup of coffee.

Stay Up All-Day™ is the company’s all-natural, calorie-free, maximum energy blend to help those who take it to feel energized throughout the day. Unlike the array of energy drinks on the market, those who have used Stay Up All-Day™ have reported they have not experienced the jitters common after drinking many popular energy boosting beverages, which often contain sugars and stimulants.

For occasional sleeplessness, Sleep Tight All-Night™ is Rise-N-Shine’s natural sleep formula, with melatonin, magnesium, Hops Flower and other ingredients to help promote a restful night’s sleep.

All of Rise-N-Shine’s products are manufactured for safety in the United States of America in a world-class, climate-controlled, FDA-inspected facility, with the highest- quality ingredients. Rise-N-Shine’s products meet or exceed the high U.S. Pharmacopeia standards and FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Performance and recovery – Advanced formulation for joint repair & bone support

FACEBOOK | TWITTER | YOUTUBE | INSTAGRAM

Every year in the UK, around 10,000 people have cartilage damage serious enough to require treatment.
Cases of accidental cartilage damage are most common in people under 35 years old. This is because this age group is more likely to take part in sporting activities where there is a higher risk of injury. Cartilage damage in joints can lead to Osteo Arthritis in later life.
Bioglan, a supplement brand by Australian company PharmaCare has brought out OSTEOActive, a supplement designed to relieve the pain associated with joint damage or Arthritis, to repair and rebuild joint cartilage and to strengthen bones. OSTEOActive combines key ingredients for joint and bone health: Red Krill Oil, Green Lipped Mussel Oil, Turmeric and a blend of vitamins and minerals for the support of cartilage function, connective tissues and energy metabolism

OSTEOActive is ideal for people who lead an active lifestyle, taking part in sports, which can lead to joint and muscle injuries. Taking part in sports such as Rugby is more than likely to increase your chances of injuries. It is reported that Rugby players have the highest risk of injuries of all sports. The most common physical traumas include shoulder dislocation, knee sprain and bone fractures. OsteoActive supports the natural repair process of the joints as well as helping to relieve pain and swelling associated with joint stress, It also relieves muscle pain thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Taking just 1 OSTEOActive capsule per day can help to build and maintain cartilage and other connective tissues, over the long term reduce swelling and inflammation and can slow the progression of joint damage.
OsteoActive also contributes to energy metabolism for optimum energy production and sport performance. Energy metabolism is the sum of the chemical processes that occur in the body which results in growth (including muscle mass growth..), production of energy, elimination of waste material, etc. The body needs a healthy metabolism in order to produce adequate amounts of energy to support any strenuous effort and performance.

OSTEOActive: 3 Main ingredients

Red Krill Oil – is shown to be better absorbed than Fish Oil. Krill oil helps reduce inflammation and arthritic symptoms including joint pain and stiffness. Studies show that it starts working to reduce arthritic symptoms in as little as 7-14 days.
Turmeric is a plant native to India and China and is widely used and praised traditionally for its many beneficial health properties. The Turmeric in OSTEOActive is standardised to 95% curcuminoids meaning that it contains a high level of the key active compounds which give Turmeric its health benefits.
Green Lipped Mussel is a type of mussel native to New Zealand commonly used for it natural occurrence of Omega-3 and other beneficial nutrients. The green Lipped Mussel in OSTEOActive is sourced from unpolluted waters of New Zealand ensuring the highest quality, whilst providing optimum benefits.
Bioglan OSTEOActive is available from selected Holland & Barrett stores, online from Bioglan, Chemist Direct, Amazon and most Independent Health Food Stores. RRP: £19.99 for 30 tablets. www.bioglan.co.uk

the92.net

The website allows fans to track which of the 92 professional English football (soccer) grounds/stadiums they’ve visited (including the Premier League). The website also has a blog which I alongside a few others I write for, blogging about my experiences of travelling up and down the country going to new grounds/games.. Here’s an example of a write up from one of my trips this year; https://www.the92.net/news-blog/highbury-piebury-emirates-stadium/

Fitness Tracking Devices

By Mattress.com

1. Fitbit HR ($120.00) – PROS: This has all the features I need – heart rate, step and mileage counting, and sleep tracking. The app is easy to use and great for the competitively minded – one can engage in competitions with friends who have Fitbits. CONS: No GPS tracking, and they have a few technical glitches occasionally but luckily support is great to work with.

2. Garmin Vivosmart HR+ ($119.00): This tracker has it all: heart rate, sleep tracking, step counting AND GPS (which is nice if you don’t want to take your phone on a run). It also claims to be waterproof up to 50M. CONS: The app is not nearly as good as comparable trackers and the display leaves a lot of room for improvement.

3. Withings Steel HR ($199.00): This tracker, looking more like a standard watch, does not fall short on features. With a step counter, heart rate monitor and sleep tracker, this good looking watch has features. It also boasts of a 25 day battery. CONS: Price, no GPS tracking.

Sleep is an essential ingredient to fitness and all three of these trackers contain valuable sleep data to make sure you are getting the best sleep for your active lifestyle.

5 Musts for Post Run Recovery

Do your legs turn to jelly as soon as you cross the finish line? With the rush of endorphins, and relief at finishing sometimes the last thing you can think about is getting you body back to normal.

Unfortunately, any form of long distance running from 5K to 26 miles, can leave the body with depleted fuel stores, dehydrated or fatigued.

We’ve asked out experts to share with us their 5 top tips to help you bounce back:

1. Refuel

Runners burn roughly 100 calories per mile, depending on height or weight. This can leave your body very tired; therefore, it is essential that you replenish it with both vitamins and protein to repair any muscle damage.

“Give your body the protein boost that it needs with Nature’s Plus Pea Protein Powder (£22.50, naturesplus.co.uk). Add a scoop to your banana, avocado and spinach smoothie for additional 15 gram of protein, which can also help you stay fuller for longer and stop you from snacking”, says Nutritionist, Cassandra Barns.

2. Re-hydrate

It is well known that when you exercise, you sweat more. The role of sweat is to cool down your core body temperature and prevent you from overheating. However, excessive sweating (say, over the course of a 26 mile marathon route) can leave you severely dehydrated and lacking in essential nutrients.

“You should refuel your muscles as soon as you can tolerate eating and rehydrate your body with extra liquids that have been lost through sweat. To add natural flavour to your drinking water you can steep flavoursome and fragrant things in it such as cucumber, lemon and mint” advises Nutritionist Shona Wilkinson from SuperfoodUK.com, the online destination for all things health and well-being.

3. Stretch it out

To help ease lactic acid build up, it is important to resist the urge to collapse on the sofa, as that will only make your muscles tighter and sorer. The right stretches will loosen up those tense muscles and strengthen the ones that need a hand.

Lynne Robinson, founder of Body Control Pilates (bodycontrolpilates.com), explains, “Keep your spine mobile. Exercises such as waist twists helps to ease out unwanted kinks and also works the muscles.”

4. Treat your feet

They’ve carried you for many miles so show your feet some post run love and appreciation!

Avoid stepping off your bed the next morning and hitting the floor with painful feet that haven’t recovered, treat your feet to a soak at the end of the night. “Bathe your feet in warm water with a few drops of peppermint oil for 5 minutes and gently towel dry. Then using Carnation PediRoller (£9.99, www.firstaidfast.co.uk) that has been left in the fridge overnight, roll your feet back and forth for 5 minutes each,” explains Carnation Foot care podiatrist Dave Wain.

Show your feet some TLC with a quick massage. “Gently massage them in long strokes towards the heels with What Skin Needs Cracked Skin Cream (£12.99, whatskinneeds.co.uk). This cream is beneficial for smoothing out rough skin on the heel and also promotes elasticity on this area of the foot, leaving the skin feeling fresher and smoother,” explains Barns.

5. …and relax!

Treat your body to a soak, which can help relax muscles and loosen stiff joints. Try adding some Epsom Salts, which in water, breaks down into magnesium and sulphate and these get into your body through your skin. They also often have oils, colours and scents to relax you and soften your skin.

AFX – Ankle Foot maXimizer

AFX is especially well-suited for rugby because you can strengthen through any range of motion – including full dorsi flexion through full plantar flexion – which is critical when a player is in a scrum.

I don’t care what ever level you are at as an athlete… you need to be doing some amount of mental or mindset training.
This is a bold statement that you can overlook if you choose. In 15 years from now you may look back and wish you were more committed, more focused and more aware of the power you had in your mind to deal with inconsistencies in your game, distractions in your life or just dealing with nerves prior to a game.
Take it from me, I was close to the top in my sport, Tae Kwon Do (a martial art) having competed and won at state and National Titles, I understand the half-committed approach to my sport did not work, in fact that is why I got hurt… and knocked out many times.
To get to this level took an immense effort and incredible numbers of bruises and broken bones over 13 years. I reflect now and realise that if only…
I found the solution to my inconsistency and unfortunately too late, I was focused, motivated and 100% committed right up to the time I tore my ACL and ripped my cartilage into 2. This 18 months was the most amazing time in my life and sport.
During my rehab, I committed to changing the mindset of every athlete I could around the world, so they did not have to go through what I did.
These dark times after my sport ended and having just missed the Sydney 2000 Olympic trials by weeks because of this were too bad to describe. The choices I made and the experiences I went through could have all been avoided by a few simple things that you are now being made aware of.
As an athlete, parent, coach or manager, you have a duty of care and I must stress the importance of mindset in sport.
Fear is the 1 thing that keeps many of us from achieving our goals in life, fear is a natural reaction to a situation that could potentially hurt or harm us. This response is to keep us safe, keep us from going out to hurt ourselves. But in rugby… this is the aim, go out and push the limits of mind and body. Your next tackle may be your last… ever!
The unconscious mind is doing its job by holding you back from anything that could hurt you. So, if you are experiencing fears, nerves, doubts and over analysing each action… mind training will overcome much of this. If you train like a legend and it does not convert on field, mind training. If you are inconsistent in results… yep! Get into some type of mind training.
My clients have named me ‘The Athlete’s Secret Weapon for 1 reason… results. Having worked with 32 World Champions in over 18 sports, I know that you can manage those nerves, I know how easy it is to remove fears and I know the results will create for you a much better life in general.
Regarded as Australia’s #1 for sports Hypnosis (potentially the best in the world according to A European Soccer superstar client of mine) I can say that this unique blend of Sport hypnosis, NLP and other fast track processes I have created can be used for instant change and long term results. Sport psychology has its place as well, it just takes longer to get to a resolution as they work on the conscious mind, where I work at the deeper levels.

Om The Go

It’s a traveling athlete’s dream.

“Om the Go” and the Asana Pillow, a neck pillow for your journey and a mat for your destination.

When you are traveling a neck pillow is essential for comfort. But upon arrival that same pillow becomes useless. When packing, a yoga mat takes up too much space. But after getting settled, that same mat is essential to stretch and unwind. Providing both comfort on the road and the practicality of a post-travel workout, our pillow is always serving the needs of the modern traveler.

Of course the mat is not restricted to yoga — we are finding new uses for it all the time. In India, the mat served us as a seat cover or a place to relax in the park. In Bali, we used it as a beach towel. Sometimes we get cold on airplanes and use it as a blanket. If you throw a shirt or a scarf inside the pillow case, you have an instant bed plus pillow… admittedly I have had to use this in airports on more than one occasion! It is practical as much as it is personal.

EZC Pak Targeting Inappropriate Antibiotic Use Wins 2017 DSN National Cold and Cough Buyer’s Choice Award. EZC Pak, created by California physician Sarath Malepati, MD, as a tangible solution to inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions takes the top prize at the 2017 ECRM National Cold and Cough Retail Buyer’s Conference sponsored by Drug Store News (DSN).

E-Z-C Pak, the first physician formulated tapered immune support pack targeting inappropriate antibiotic use in colds and flu was awarded the prestigious 2017 Buyer’s Choice Award at the ECRM National Cold and Cough Retail Buyer’s Conference. The award is sponsored annually by media outlet Drug Store News and voted on by retail buyers and category managers of the largest retail pharmacy, food and drug chains, and independent pharmacy distributors in the United States.

Formulated utilizing the best available clinical data, EZC Pak is an over the counter immune support supplement composed of certified organic Echinacea, Zinc, and Vitamin C created by California physician Sarath Malepati, MD, out of concern for growing antibiotic resistance and medical complications resultant from inappropriate antibiotic prescribing patterns. “Per a 2014 WebMD survey, 95% of US prescribers admit to writing antibiotics when unclear of their necessity. The number one cited reason is patient expectation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over half of antibiotic prescriptions written are unnecessary. This problematic interaction is fueling antibiotic resistance and our growing superbug crisis in the healthcare system,” Dr. Malepati commented. EZC Pak is designed to help reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions while educating patients and maintaining patient satisfaction.

“Incorporating EZC Pak into clinical practice, we have cut antibiotic prescriptions in patients who do not meet criteria for an antibiotic at initial presentation to less than 5% with a greater than 90% patient satisfaction score,” Malepati said. EZC Pak is a National Partner of the CDC Get Smart About Antibiotics Initiative.

“We are deeply honored that EZC Pak has been recognized by the nation’s top pharmacy retailers and distributors with this award. The recognition speaks to the growing awareness and participation of the retail sector in collaborating with health care professionals to spread awareness and stem the tide of inappropriate antibiotic use across our communities. We will continue to work in close collaboration with the retail sector, health care system, and government agencies to solve this complex problem together,” Dr. Malepati said.

USA Rugby’s director of performance, Alex Magleby, praised the partnership as a move into the next generation of USA Rugby’s high performance structure, saying, “Implementation of the BridgeAthletic system will provide connectivity and continuity for our coaching staff and our emerging and elite athletes. Bridge allows us to build, deliver, and track training programs and performance data in a streamlined way from top to bottom, and back up again. Additionally, it allows our coaches and athletes to collaborate on strength, conditioning, and skill-training methods like never before.”

Nick Folker, BridgeAthletic’s co-founder and director of performance content, also has enthusiastic, high expectations for the partnership, saying, “This is an enormous step forward for USA Rugby. We expect to see the training programs created by the national teams develop a pathway for growth from the age group level all the way up to the national teams and Eagles. From our standpoint, USA Rugby’s high performance initiatives are truly at the cutting edge of sport.”

USA Rugby Chief Executive Officer Nigel Melville praised BridgeAthletic’s growth and technology: “We evaluated a number of potential solutions before choosing to partner with BridgeAthletic. In sports and business, team is everything, and Bridge has assembled a world-class combination of folks who understand high performance athletics, elite software engineering, and data science. Bridge is pushing the limits of athlete and performance management, as evidenced by its client list of elite NCAA athletic departments and professional teams.”

This coming January, USA Rugby and BridgeAthletic will launch broadly a USA Rugby training offering that will give any USA Rugby member access to the high performance training experience of Magleby and his team, formerly only available to national team player pool athletes.

“In addition to the benefits this partnership will produce for our national teams, we are also producing a model through which any USA Rugby member can receive a customized program based on their level of fitness, position, age, and competition calendar,” Magleby said. “For us, that’s critical as it will allow us to distribute our program philosophy at a scale that was never previously possible. It is another step forward in moving towards a ‘one team, one mission’ standard.”

More details on this program will be available in the coming months leading up to the release. The expected release date for the program is Dec. 14, 2015.

BridgeAthletic Chief Executive Officer Michael Sharf remarked, “We are delighted to be working with USA Rugby to help them develop and scale what we consider to be one of the leading high performance models in the world. Rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in our country and the organization is poised for success on the world stage with initiatives like this.”

The Surprising Impact of Red and Near Infrared Light on Muscle Recovery and Athletic Performance

Light therapy has been used for years to treat an array of medical conditions and diseases, from skin conditions like psoriasis to seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and depression1,2, and most of these studies have focused on broad-spectrum and UV light – the “shortest” types of light waves. But it’s only been more recently that scientists have begun studying the effects of light waves at the other end of the spectrum – red and near infrared (NIR) waves. Like UV waves, red and near infrared waves can penetrate the skin – triggering chemical and other physiological actions deep inside the tissues. And now, medical researchers are beginning to realize how important those mechanisms can be in promoting good health – specifically for the repair of damaged tissues…… see more at :- joovv.com/blogs/joovv-blog/surprising-impact-red-near-infrared-light-muscle-recovery-athletic-performance

QOR360

QOR360 is a Vermont-based startup that invented a new shape in order to make chairs that are healthy.

Led by former emergency room trauma surgeon Turner Osler, the QOR team makes chairs that allow for active sitting, helping their users with back pain and all the other issues that come with static sitting. Our modern lives require us to sit for longer and longer periods of time, and we see this technology as a beautiful and simple solution to this problem. The chairs require the user to balance on the seat, engaging the core muscles subconsciously all day long. QOR360 chairs are not only healthy, they are also simple and beautiful. The design of the chair is low profile and customized for a modern space, allowing the user to discard the bulky, detrimental desk chairs of the past.
