“Apple shape” link to greater chance of kidney disease
Research suggests that carrying excess weight around the middle can be linked to a greater risk of kidney disease.
It has been common knowledge that being “apple shaped” instead of “pear shaped” adds to risks of cardiovascular issues and problems.
Studies in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology have found traces of kidney issues even in otherwise healthy apple-shaped people.
UK experts state people should look after their kidney health.
Research has shown that having a higher waist-to-hip ratio -(as seen in some apple-shaped people) is connected with lower kidney capability, lower kidney blood flow and higher blood pressure in the kidneys.
This is even shown in those who were otherwise healthy.
It is important to take ensure we look after out kidneys and take regular exercise.
Research suggests doing cardio in the morning on an empty stomach if you’re looking to shed some weight.
Since your body has not eaten since dinner, the carbohydrates in your muscles and liver will be depleted so your body has to dig into your fat stores for energy.
It is also suggested that lean people should eat easily digested carbs before morning workouts, such as oatmeal and fruit—or risk losing lean muscle mass.
The vibrating platform of the Vibration Trainer offers the same benefits as an hour-long gym workout in just 10 minutes, burning up to 350 calories.
This vibration trainer has been designed to produce therapeutic vibrations from the feet up through your entire body. The vibrating platform causes rapid muscle contractions that work your muscles continuously. These contractions not only build muscle and bone density, but improve flexibility, burn fat, increase metabolism, improve circulation, improve cellular oxygen and nutrient delivery which slows the degenerative/ageing process!
This machine will not train the body’s cardiovascular system but will make you look and feel great, whilst helping you lose weight.
Ten minutes is all it takes!
Training little and often gives great benefits with this machine.

Sports shoes are probably the most important piece of equipment you’ll buy, so it’s vital that you choose the right pair. Their are big differences in the way various sports shoes support your feet.

Everyone should get some regular exercise, and is especially important for people over 50. As we age, the risk of serious health problems increases.
Seniors need to be more aware of the risks of exercise, too. Older joints are more prone to swelling and arthritis, and bones can be more brittle. You can get plenty of exercise, and do it safely as long as you keep a few fitness tips in mind.
1) Look for fun, low-impact exercises to minimize stress on the joints like the knees, hips, elbows and ankles.
2) Look for exercises thatincrease flexibility and strength. Stretching is low-impact and can help with balance and flexibility, as well.
3) Don’t forget strength training. You don’t have to pump iron to get in a good strength training workout. Resistance bands are great, used while just sitting in a chair, they can increase strength and flexibility.
4) Dancing can be fun and great exercise as long as you avoid jumping and any twisting movements. If you’re working out with a DVD or in a class, simply don’t jump when the instructor does.
5) Most exercises can be adapted to be lower-impact if you find you enjoy a particular movement.A crosstrainer or recumbent bike are ideal training aids and can actually be a great, safe workout if used properly.
6) Considerwater aerobics and exercise. This is one of the most low-impact forms of exercise available. The buoyancy of the water cushions the joints and makes the movements smooth.Gentle swimming is really good for your flexibility. Great machines for hire go to the website
