Importance of Sleep

By Emma Atkinson on 19 August 2024

The Importance of Sleep... You've all heard that sleep is absolutely crucial for recovery after exercise, physical activity, or muscle damage Here's an explanation why: Muscle Repair and Growth: Sleep gives your body time to repair and rebuild muscle tissue, making it essential for muscle growth and strength Sleep influences hormone production, including : Growth Hormone: Stimulates muscle growth and repair & Cortisol: Helps with muscle recovery and stress reduction Inflammation Reduction: Sleep helps reduce muscle inflammation, which can occur after intense exercise Tissue Rejuvenation: Sleep allows for the removal of waste products, like lactic acid, that build up in muscles during exercise Immune System Support: Sleep helps regulate the immune system, which aids in recovery and reduces the risk of illness Memory Consolidation: Sleep helps solidify muscle memory, improving performance and technique Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep and prioritize good sleep practices, such as: - Consistent sleep schedule - Dark, quiet sleep environment - Avoiding caffeine before bedtime - Relaxing before sleep with techniques like meditation or deep breathing Body repair 💜 #importanceofsleep #sleep #soundbath #soundbowls #meditation #wellbeing #wellness #recharge #auricularacupuncture #acupuncture #holistictherapy #holistichealth #fitologystudio #ip3 #ipswichsuffolk #ipswich #reflexolgy #earacupuncture

Weight Management Auricular Acupuncture

By Emma Atkinson on 28 July 2024

💜 Weight Management Auricular Acupuncture 💜 Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese method used to relieve some health conditions and symptoms, such as pain Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture is a complementary therapy used to control appetite and aid weight management. It helps changes in feeding behaviour and in the levels of several appetite-related hormones ⭐ ‘reset the mind – reset the body’ ⭐ The ear, in particular, has acupuncture points that can influence appetite, metabolism, digestion, and stress levels in stimulating these ear points Auricular Acupuncture has a positive effect by curbing cravings and appetite, improving digestion, and boosting metabolism “In Japan, this method to aid weight loss has been used for over 30 years.” Here are some feedback : "I feel more relaxed about food. It's not something I need. It's not a crutch anymore" Jennifer Young Training School "I am now in size 16 clothes, or some fourteens, before I was in 22/24 clothing" Jennifer Young Training School “I followed a low calorie diet and exercised before; the only thing that changed this time was the addition of the Acupuncture and the weight has stayed off” Jennifer Young Training School How many times have you changed your eating habits but have returned to the size you were before – the mind was not changed – time to press the reset button for a healthier and happier life This energy is thought to travel along invisible pathways, known as meridians, that are found throughout the body - including the ears, as a result, a blocked or disrupted flow of qi (energy) can have a negative effect on physical and mental health, thin needles are therefore placed on certain points along meridian lines, to restore the flow of qi by resolving any blockages or disruption The Ear is a map of your body, similar to Reflexology with hands and feet being a diagram of your body – the ear is an upside down Foetus The outer ear acts like a switchboard that sends impulses to the brain, which stimulate the release of endorphins, lowers stress and induces relaxation The Weight Management Auricular Acupuncture Treatment Package will consist of 1 treatment a week for 6 weeks The treatment will last for 1 hour * special offer 1 extra treatment free, 7 for the price of 6 * Please contact me for pricing, to book the package, and to arrange your first appointment ⭐ ‘Creating a better version of yourself – investment in you’’ ⭐ Emma Fitology Studio #fitologystudio #auricularacupuncture #acupuncture #holistictherapy #holistichealth #weightloss #wellness #wellbeing #earacupuncture #holistichealth

Calm the mind.. Change your life

By Emma Atkinson on 21 July 2024

A Sound Bath is simply a beautiful experience Though a Sound bath may seem like a “new age” concept, the practice of healing bodies through sound is technically thousands of years old with deep roots in cultures across the world. A sound bath is a meditative experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves A sound bath can be easier than other meditative practices because it doesn’t require a lot of discipline or patience to learn how to do it — all you have to do is listen and relax Calm your mind. Change your life The intention is really to change and help balance the energy of the participants. During a sound bath, you don’t want to hook into a melody, you don’t want to repeat things because you don’t want the brain to recognize a repeated beat, instead, allow yourself to release, and to let the brain go In Addition To Helping The Body Relax, Some Healing Sound Practitioners Argue That Sound Baths Can Potentially Foster Physical Healing, We Can Liken The Experience To Acupuncture. “If you go to an acupuncturist, you likely have energy blocked somewhere that the practitioner helps unlock. The sound bath is similar, but you are using frequency and vibration instead of needles, we have seen people have specific areas of their body where they can feel things loosening up or they feel pain literally going away and relax” * THIS SUNDAY 28th JULY AT 11AM * *£12 Investment in You * Sound bathing is truly unique because each experience you attend will be different than the last. It all depends on what you're surrounded by, the energy in the room, and how you're feeling on that particular day Everyone's experience of a Sound Bath is different, and can differ every time, it depends on what your body system needs You simply lay or sit comfortable and let the vibrations and sound of the Crystal Singing Bowls work their magic ‘Calm the body & the mind with the soothing sounds & vibration’ Everyone welcome – please invite your friends and family who you may know needs some time out ‘Creating a better version of yourself – Investment in You ’ Thanks Emma Fitology Studio * THIS SUNDAY 28th JULY AT 11AM * Upcoming dates…. SUNDAY 11TH AUGUST AT 11AM * FRIDAY 16TH AUGUST AT 7PM * SUNDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER AT 11AM SUNDAY 15TH SEPTEMBER AT 11AM SUNDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER AT 11AM

PROSTATE RESULTS 2024

By Emma Atkinson on 18 July 2024

PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING RESULTS We are delighted to have provided Prostate Cancer (PCa) Screening for the East Suffolk PCa Support Group’s third annual event at Fitology Prostate Cancer Screening Project At the event in the FITOLOGY Studio we tested a total of 142 men from whom 135 had samples processed by the Ipswich Hospital laboratory and present the statistics below With 56,000 new cases every year, PCa is now the commonest cancer in the UK. We have no national NHS screening programme despite clear evidence that screening over 20 years with regular PSA tests can halve the PCa death rate. The NHS Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme entitles men over 50 to have a PSA test, but many requests are still refused by local GPs and men are advised not to test “till symptoms arise” – too late for screening! The Suffolk and NE Essex Public Health consultants continue to oppose PCa screening despite the clear evidence of its benefit Event Statistics: RISK but in the Green Zone: * High 41 * Intermediate 26 * Low 57 ABNORMAL: * Amber 6 * Red 5 TOTAL : 135 men tested There has been an increase in attendees from 94 in 2023 to 142 reflecting increased public awareness of PCa and screening. Of the 11 abnormal Amber and Red results, it can be estimated that approximately 2-3 will have an underlying cancer and of these, 2 will be aggressive. In simple terms, this single testing session will save 2 lives. To date 4 men have had cancers identified from the Fitology events representing a 1.7% find rate, nearly twice the 0.9% rate of the national breast cancer screening programme In the UK 1 in 8 white, Caucasian and 1 in 4 black men of west African or Caribbean descent will develop PCa in their lifetime.
