Light Sports and Eating Oily Fish Regularly can Strengthen the Muscles in Old Age

Research conducted by Dr Stuart Gray of the University of Aberdeen showed women aged over 65 years who received omega-3 fatty acids and exercise, have muscles twice as strong as those who consumed olive oil. Gray's team plans to conduct further research with a larger number of respondents to find out exactly the link between fish oil and muscle strength in the elderly.
Some previous studies have linked omega-3, which can be found in some types of fish such as mackerel and sardines, with health benefits. Experts demonstrate the benefits of fish oil as mentioned can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease.
When the age is growing age, the muscle size decreases 0.5-2% per year. A process called sarcopenia causes elderly is difficult to move the limbs.

Reiki Self Healing Guide

Every teacher stresses on the importance of regular and continuous practice of Reiki self healing for twenty-one days after attunement. There are several reasons for this.

Firstly, during these 21 days, a lot of cleansing takes place in your body. You must ensure you drink plenty of water and sleep sufficiently. Regular Reiki practice during these days helps remove the negativities accumulated by your body over your lifetime. Each chakra takes roughly 3 days, hence the 21 days.

Secondly, your body is still new to the energy being channeled, and it takes 21 days for it to get adjusted to the new activity. From a psychological aspect too, it has been found that a person takes about 21 days to form a habit.

Most importantly, a lot of reiki students assume that since so much of stress has been laid only on the first 21 days, the days after that must not be important. Quite the contrary, you need to continue practicing Reiki everyday even after the 21-day period. During the 21 days, you must just ensure that you do not miss practice even once, and also remember that the more number you practice, the better the effect.
