It Is Time To Break The Taboo of Urinary Incontinence

Posted on by

The issue: urinary incontinence. Something that an estimated 1 in 3 women of all ages suffer from, and many don’t even speak to their GP. Sadly it is still a taboo subject but here at Frost we want to raise awareness because help is at hand. Women do not need to suffer from this inconvenient issue. World Continence Week is coming up this month between 22-28th June and it is the perfect time to talk about this important issue.

There are some interesting statistics in the Femifree Lifestyle Report.

Femifree is a new, non-invasive device for the treatment of urinary incontinence which uses advanced technology to strengthen the pelvic floor muscle. It is innovative, advanced technology and is clinically proven. It helps strengthen and retrain the pelvic floor muscle, reducing the effects of urinary incontinence. It is non-invasive as the garment is worn outside the body.

While other products are invasive or uncomfortable, Femifree does not include any internal probes or pads. It is a real solution to a serious issue. It works through a controller and garment that are simple to use in the privacy of your own home.

Running a Marathon For Dummies | Book Review

Posted on by

runningamarathonMarathons are hugely popular now. It seems everyone I know is doing one. Although I have yet to join in, this book has made me feel inspired. Unfortunately injuries are rife as people underestimate just how hard it is. Enter Running A Marathon For Dummies. An incredibly informative book which covers everything you could possibly want to know about running a marathon.

What I found particularly interesting was chapter three: Understanding the Physiology of Marathon Running. It tells you all about your heart and what happens when you are running. How the heart pushes blood through your body and how your muscles carry you 26.2 miles. (the length of a marathon) It is completely fascinating and essential knowledge for those serious about running.

The book also has brilliant tests like the one to tell you how high your arch is. It gives you recommendations on what gear to buy. It also tells you how to stay strong and healthy. This book will hopefully make any injuries less common, in fact an entire chapter is dedicated to recognising and avoiding common injuries and also has the treatments in case the worst happens. You will also be educated about your body and what it goes through. It has a good amount of exercises with a step-by-step guide on how to do them.

It also helps you train with running drills, the tools to help you create your own training preparation and it also gives you training programmes. An excellent book for everyone from the beginner to the more experienced. Jason Karp really knows his stuff. I loved this book. An excellent guide.

Deep Heat | Health Review

Posted on by

Muscle tension is common in everyday life. After a hectic week my muscles usually feel tired. Did the Deep Heat I got sent to review help? Yes, but I wishes I had read the instructions first! The first time I applied I put on too much. If you read the instructions it tells you to put on a little and build up to your personal tolerance level. Luckily I was just a little hot for a while.

I love both these products. They really help your muscles and they are reasonably priced. I love how the Neck and Shoulder Cream has the option of a sponge applicator. It is very easy and convenient. These products are also natural and smell great. They get the Frost thumbs up! Sian Lloyd also used and loves them.

Deep Heat Muscle Rescue Neck and Shoulder Cream RRP: £5.99

A warming cream designed to help ease tension in stressed muscles. It contains a unique combination of vanilla and rosemary to give gentle but soothing warmth,[1] with a pleasant herbal aroma. It has a soft sponge applicator to facilitate massage and so provides soothing, comforting warmth. In addition, it is in a convenient 50g pack so you can travel with it and fit into a coat pocket, handbag, sports bag or brief case. The applicator provides a soothing massage and means no messy cream on the hands.

Deep Heat Muscle Rescue Bath Soak RRP: £5.49

Is a bath additive specially formulated to ease daily stress, aches and muscular tension. Key ingredients include electrolyte minerals and essential oils of rosemary, patchouli and orange. Electrolyte minerals are a combination of atomised sea water, minerals and trace elements, including magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, iodine and chloride, which help to hydrate the body and help to prevent cramp.

Muscle tension affects millions of people in the UK everyday. Modern life often means dealing with a host of mental and physical stress triggers, all too often leaving us tired, with tense and stressed muscles after a long day.

Our muscles are faced with numerous attacks and challenges on a daily basis, from bad posture and physical activity to emotional stress and simply getting older. Work, commuting, looking after children, sports injuries and crouching over a computer can all take their toll on our bodies, leaving us feeling mentally and physically drained and our muscles knotted and uncomfortable. Muscle Rescue has been created to help!

New Research:

• Half a million people suffer from work-related stress (Health and Safety Executive 2010/2011)

• A new study by Deep Heat Muscle Rescue (One Poll 2012) found that half of us get stressed because we are overworked

• Nearly 80 per cent of people suffer anguish from a stiff neck and two-thirds suffer from tense shoulders (One Poll 2012)

• A third of people know they are stressed when they suffer from tense muscles, which stops nearly half from sleeping comfortably and 35 per cent from relaxing (One Poll 2012)
