Curcumin and CBD for Pain Relief
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in Tumeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects, and is a very strong anti-oxidant (much like CBD). Why is this important? Because inflammation is the main cause for almost every chronic, “Western” disease. This includes heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s and various degenerative conditions, just to name a few. By combining CBD with Curcumin in a soft-gel form, people are finally finding relief from pain like never before! You can find this product, and many more like it, at Angel Wings Wellness, 12 Roger’s Street, Gloucester MA, 01930. This particular product brought to you by one of our favorite partners: Joy Organics.

A solution to common foot problems -Nia classes on Cape Ann
Do you suffer from pain, neuropathy, poor balance and other common foot ailments?
According to AARP, there are many simple measures you can take to fix some of these pesky pedal problems. Here’s a link to the full article https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2019/common-feet-problems-solutions.html
Here are two solutions they offer to help feet, both of which can be found in a Nia class.
1. Get on your feet
The more you sit, the more you deactivate your glute muscles — and proper foot function requires strong glutes, hips and abs, Splichal says. Exercises like hip bridges and planks encourage not only tummy work and hip extension (counterposes for sitting), but also help you practice getting up and down from the floor — something research has correlated with longevity.
2. Go barefoot
The nerves on the bottom of your feet are even more receptive than those on your hands — but stuffing your feet into shoes all day deprives them of the sensory stimulation they need to help your body move. Barefoot exercise such as Nia, yoga and Pilates, and walking around barefoot at home, can help.
Come try a Nia class. We move, safetly and barefooted to fun music. Try a free class at the Gloucester Senior center on Mondays at 1pm. Other classes around Cape Ann, see info below.
Songs of Summer/Nia with Linda
Come experience the fun of moving safely to and singing along with all the great summer hits! Artists including the Beach Boys, Seals and Crofts, Alan Jackson. Songs like Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Summertime Blues, Help Me Rhonda, Love that Dirty Water and more. Come join us for a Nia beach party but leave the sand at home.
