Thu, Sep 22, 2016

We all have metabolism faults of varying degrees. Signs of a weak metabolism include undiagnosed sluggish thyroid [40 per cent of people], hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies [70 per cent of people], elevated blood sugars [50 per cent of people], sluggish liver, and digestive disorders including constipation [60 per cent of people].

Aikido, way of harmony

Thu, Sep 22, 2016

It emphasises throwing and pinning techniques instead of punching or kicking. Regular practice instils calm and self-control while building up physical and mental resilience. There are no competitions in aikido: its philosophy is summed up in the phrase masakatsu agatsu — ‘true victory is self-victory’.
