Move!

The Chiro from The Chiro - Johnsonville

The human body is designed to move. Movement is crucial to how well our bodies are able to regulate essential daily functions. πŸƒπŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸŠπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ

The human body is designed to move. Movement is crucial to how well our bodies are able to regulate essential daily functions. πŸƒπŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸŠπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ
By the same token, increased prevalence of sedentary behaviours is having a profound negative impact on our overall health and wellness πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»πŸ“ΊπŸ“±
Some of the potential negative effects are:

πŸ’₯ Increases chronic inflammation
Increases risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer
🦠 Increases chance of metabolic disorders
Increases likelihood of developing musculo-skeletal disorders like osteoporosis
🀯 Can impact mental health (depression, anxiety), and contribute to development of cognitive disorders later in life (dementia, Alzheimer's)
The body needs movement to function. Low fitness (or exercise capacity) is the strongest predictor of death πŸ’€. So the equation is simple:
Movement βž• Consistency = HEALTHIER YOU πŸ€©πŸ™Œ
This does not mean we have to jump from a sedentary lifestyle straight to a comprehensive gym program πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ.
Research shows that committing to as little as 30 MINUTES of mild/moderate exercise per day can vastly decrease the prevalence of the health complications mentioned above! And that still leaves 23.5 hours for everything else!
So start adding 30 minutes of walking 🚢, jogging πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ, swimming πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ, cycling 🚴, dancing πŸ’ƒ or yoga πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ to your daily routine, and start taking charge of YOUR health. 😀
Your body will love you for it! πŸ˜‡βœ¨

Copied from a Facebook post: Your Voice Counts On The Proposal For Paid Parking
Wellington City Council (WCC) have opened their consultation on the Long-Term Plan. This runs from Friday 12 April to midnight Sunday 12 May 2024. It is advised that you read the consultation document as it covers important decisions on Water, Waste, Investments and other key proposals, one of which is a proposal to introduce paid parking in the suburbs. You can find further information and a submission form here: www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz...... Please remember to be kind in your submissions – councillors are more likely to respond to positive and well-defined responses. Tawa Business Group has heard plenty of people who are strongly against introducing paid parking and we want to make sure that WCC hears your voices too. These stories may help you with your submission.
β€’ These are already difficult times with the high cost of living and an increasing number of local redundancies, this is an extra charge that people cannot afford.
β€’ The suburbs should not be subsidising the income shortfall from removing car parks in the CBD. Money raised in the suburbs should be used for local investment.
β€’ Tawa has a different demographic than the CBD. Many older and less able people rely on the services that the suburb provides and being able to park easily and directly outside their destination is important for them being able to leave their homes and reduce feelings of isolation.
β€’ The proposal for paid parking does not follow the 2020 Parking policy that says that paid parking will be introduced if occupancy is often over 85%, turnover is low and non-compliance is high.
Our three Northern ward Councillors all voted against the proposal in February but they lost on a vote of 10:7. Councillors changed their minds about reducing hours in swimming pools and libraries so they can change their minds about this too BUT only if you submit your feedback. The more submissions we make, the less likely it is to happen.

I know it's a long shot because they stopped making them I suppose years ago, I got mine down at L.V. Martin's years back now, I have gotten along just fine with mine - until now that is. Just used for listings & personal photos & the like. Price negotiable I hope.
