STRETCHING

Did you know?

If you’re feeling a little stiff and low in energy, then stretching can be so beneficial for your body and your mind.

A study at the University of Illinois found that when people followed a stretching programme they experienced a boost in their self-esteem. “Stretching releases dopamine which helps you feel happier and more positive about the world,”

“When muscles stay still the blood pools in the muscles, which makes you feel tired and sluggish,”……. “As soon as you move, you nourish the muscles which improves your concentration levels as your brain gets blood flow. By moving away from your desk every twenty minutes or so, is enough to help relieve fatigue." Dr Simon Floreani, Ambassador for Allied.
