Do you know if your body is inflamed right now? I ask this because it isn’t easy to know if you have low lying inflammation. You can go years, symptom free until you begin to experience pain or digestive trouble or in-fact any of this list: asthma, diabetes, heart disease, digestive problems, cancer, mental disorders, strokes, autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, migraines and allergies, etc etc. Yes, they all have one thing in common…a link to inflammation.

Although formal exercise has many benefits, these are only truly activated when you move mindfully and gracefully in daily life. In terms of exercise, good movement in daily life might be the most important aspect of the Restore Your Body Programme (full explanation notes here). According to many recent studies, sitting for prolonged periods is detrimental to your health. And that’s even if you go to the gym everyday. (See link below for detailed info).

When was the last time you swung through monkey-bars, climbed a tree, sprinted flat out, moved a really object or threw something? Maybe awhile ago, but all of these are functional/natural movements.
