Rebounding

A few weeks ago my doctor found issues going on in my body. After following his instructions several of those issues have greatly improved. However, my lymphatic system had not changed. My brother Mark reminded me that rebounding is one of the best ways to flush out the lymphatic system. My doctor recommended I get a lymphatic massage. I went on line to read up on the lymphatic massage. Among those listed as vitally needing that particular massage were those who are sedentary. That lit my light bulb! I KNOW that exercising is important but for some time have not been motivated to move! Moving would make the lymphatic system do what it is supposed to do.

I have started using the rebounder that sits in my basement. To keep myself motivated I have to read more about it. Unfortunately I gave my book away, but thank goodness for search engines on the computer!

Here are just a few bits of information I find interesting.

• Gently bouncing on a rebounder for two minutes every hour is an ideal protocol for defence against cancer. Within just two minutes the entire lymphatic system is flushed, creating a demand for more lymphocytes, including killer T-cells. The white blood-cell count is approximately tripled during this two-minute rebounding session. Many cancer-killing potions (such as hydrogen peroxide) are produced more efficiently while a patient is rebounding.



• Rebounding exercise also strengthens each cell of the body so that healing can occur. Every process of every cell is enhanced allowing each organ to do its job more efficiently: digestion and absorption are enhanced; elimination is improved, thus removing more toxins from the body; and the body is relaxed and de-stressed and healing chemicals are produced.



• It increases the capacity for breathing. It circulates more oxygen to the tissues.It helps combat depression. It helps normalize your blood pressure. It helps prevent cardiovascular disease. It increases the activity of the red bone marrow in the production of red blood cells. It aids lymphatic circulation, as well as blood flow in the veins of the circulatory system. It lowers elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It stimulates the metabolism, thereby reducing the likelihood of obesity.It tones up the glandular system, especially the thyroid to increase its output. It improves coordination throughout the body.It promotes increased muscle fiber tone. It offers relief from neck and back pains, headaches, and other pain caused by lack of exercise. It enhances digestion and elimination processes. It allows for easier relaxation and sleep. It results in a better mental performance, with sharper learning processes. It relieves fatigue and menstrual discomfort for women. It minimizes the number of colds, allergies, digestive disturbances, and abdominal problems. It tends to slow down aging.



• Children instinctively enjoy jumping around. They take to mini-trampolines like fish to water. One of the best things you can do to help instill the love of exercise in your child is buying a mini-trampoline, which sits around in the house and is always available for family members to use. Jumping on a mini-trampoline is one small step we can take toward solving our national epidemic of diabetes and obesity among children.

Those are all copy and pasted from several sources. Look up rebounding and get moving....and

Please help keep me motivated! :?)

Part of what makes it enjoyable for me is that I am using Vanessa-Mae's album Storm to workout with! It is great!

So Little Time and So Much to Do

A few days ago a friend of mine posted these words as her status on Facebook. Immediately upon reading those words my mind started singing the song! Since then it is either going through my mind or I am literally singing it over and over!

It is a song I chose to sing almost every time I was asked to sing a solo at a missionary service! You see, it is a very, very, very old song and I am afraid it will be a lost song. My mom sang this song at General Assembly in 1960. She is the only person I have ever heard sing the song besides me. The words of the song are laying heavy on my heart this week. They are so very true!

Souls all around us are dying, traveling the road down to hell;

Oh! how our hearts should be crying, Salvation's story to tell. Someone is dying each moment, What if we've failed to be true To tell them about Christ's atonement? There's so little time and so much to do.

Chorus:

So little time and so much to do! God help us all at our posts to be true. Tell them this story:"Christ died for you!" There's so little time and so much to do.

On every hand you are seeing The devil at work night and day; Trying to wreck ev'ry being Who would follow the Calvary way, Trading his home in the glory For a pleasure in sin to pursue, We must proclaim Calv'ry's story, There's so little time and so much to do.

Come unto Me, all ye weary Who labor, and I'll give you rest; Beneath the lights sin is drearey; Come unto Me and be blest. The time for Christ's coming is nearing; The signs of the time say He's due; So let's preach the Word without fearing, There's so little time and so much to do.
