Rigor Mortis and Charlie Horses



Rigor Mortis and Charlie Horses..
What do these conditions have in common??

New-trition by Carla’s Third Monday class (July 21st) will present the
sixth topic in Health by Systems:101 –

The Muscular System!

Not only will you learn what Rigor Mortis and "Charlie Horses" have in common, you will also learn how other conditions such as fatigue, weakness, restless leg syndrome, spasms, twitching, even heart failure, are all related to the same underlying muscle cell deprivation.

If you have attended the last few classes, then ‘cell deprivation’ will sound familiar to you.  This month you will learn what your muscle cells need to work properly and what you may be doing to interfere, even damage, their function.

So much to talk about!!...
  • How muscles work
  • Stress physiology
  • The importance of minerals and electrolytes in muscle contraction and relaxation
  • The myths of excessive hydration
  • The mechanisms of fatigue
  • Fatigue and aging
  • The potential harm of endurance exercise and bodybuilding
  • Concentric and eccentric exercise
Fitness and good health can actually be counteractive.  Whether you are seeking fitness for daily living or optimal sports performance, a basic understanding of 'stress physiology' will be extremely important to achieve your goals safely.

We look forward to another great time of learning with those seeking optimal natural health! Newcomers are welcome!  Old-timers - bring a friend!  See you soon!
