More on Hydration …

Further to the other posts about cellular hydration, keep drinking water but give it a gel-water upgrade by adding citrus fruit or sipping it with potassium rich foods, like bananas and broccoli, or magnesium rich foods, like avocado or dark chocolate. Sea salt pinches help too. “You will get electrolytes that transform regular water into gel water” says Dr. Dana Cohen, M.D., author of “Quench: Beat Fatigue, Drop Weight and Heal your Body Through the New Science of Optimum Hydration”

And, then get the gel water flowing by MELTing and doing Pilates.It is the small movements and little compressions from The Pilates Reformer springs and the soft MELT roller that activate the water deliver mechanism of the fascia, the criss-cross, spongy, body wide system that acts like a sponge and water delivery system.

Gel Water is the New Health Drink

So along with the science of connective tissue hydration for pain free movement, anxiety, depression, weight loss and feeling good, “eat” water by ingesting gel-water rich fruits and veggie, which can be up to twice as hydrating as drinking water. “Gel water from plants passes more readily into our cells – and is denser and less likely to leak out of damaged or aging cells” says Dr Dana Cohen, M.D, author of Quench: Beat Fatigue, Drop Weight and Heal your Body through the New Science of Optimum Hydration”.This ultra-hydrating gel water ignites fat burning.

If you are drinking lots of water and still peeing alot, it can be a signal that the spongy connective tissue cells are not picking up the water and making it gel water as fast as your body needs so… keep MELTing to lovingly massage that water into your cells and keep doing Pilates, which is a series of small movements because little movements keep the gel water moving.

Please come to classes Annabel, Rose & Ruth at MELT Method Winnipegand Pilates Manitoba to learn for yourself. We give all lessons in writing if you like a particular sequence that we did so you can repeat it a home for 10 min everyday and get your sponge working again. You will feel great too because they are gentle moves.

Did you know .. Water in our Cells and in Plant Cells is Actually H3O2?

Most water is H2O but groundbreaking research from Harvard and Cornell has found that water in our cells and in plant cells is actually H3O2 – it is gel-like water charged by electrolytes. When touching most surfaces in the body, water transforms itself into so‐called Exclusion Zone (EZ) water, whose formula is H3O2. EZ water differs in all respects from H2O. And, there is a lot of it, everywhere.

This gel water acts as fuel for every action of every cell says Dr. Gerald Pollack, Ph.D, head of University of Washington’s Pollack Water Lab and author of The Fourth Phase of Water (liquid, gas, solid and H3O2). While the science is complicated, it means that gel water is magical and primes our cells for every function. So increasing gel water is one of the best things to do for all healthy organ & joint function, sleeping, mood regulation and weight loss. And the easiest, faster way to do that is to MELT and do Pilates.

Here’s why: your fascia is a spongy connective tissue system that criss-crosses your body and acts like an intricate water delivery system, and that is activated by small movements. These small, localized, soft, gentle movements get your cellular hydration action going.

Joan’s Story – On Pilates and Osteoporosis

Thanks to our awesome client Joan for sharing her story and her advocacy of Pilates for osteoporosis as mentioned by Osteoporosis Canada.  Not all exercise is created equal.  We have small classes so you get lots of attention and personalized instruction…that is where alot of risk is… when you are left alone in a large group.  We have small group classes and private lessons and when you take your Pilates with our licensed physiotherapists, your Pilates is covered under your physio insurance.  Call 204.487.2287 or text 204.999.9984.  Make 2019 the year of not living dangerously.  Question exercising that is too fast,too hard, too much pressure and too big.  Pilates is the only adaptive and modified program.
