🙌💨 FUN FACT FRIDAY! 💨🙌

The humble diaphragm, the primary muscle for respiration that drives about 75% of the effort to breathe. When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, creating negative pressure that pulls air into the lungs, relaxes on exhalation pushing air out. It works continuously, taking about 20,000 breaths a day!

The diaphragm has an important role not only to breathe but also in:
💨 Posture are core stability
💨 Vascular circulation and lymphatic drainage
💨 Bowel function and Digestion
💨 Stress Management

The diaphragm is the multi-talented quiet achiever. It has to be one of my favourite muscles in the body to address and manipulate, and see results in function and symptom relief.

Breathe innnnn 💨💨💨, and breathe oooouuttt💨💨💨

Hope you enjoyed this Funfact Friday!

How much to drink you ask?
2ml to 5ml if it's hot and you're sweating multiplied by your body weight, first thing in the morning, while active and everytime you go to the toilet!

🩵💙 FUN FACT FRIDAY! 💧💦🌊

Water is integral for our existence and lifestyle. We can enjoy the value of Vitamin "Sea" here locally in Port Stephens, but how much water are you drinking, and what are you drinking?
The importance of hydration is undeniable, but how much per day is debatable. The guideline of 6-8 glasses isn't backed by research, given that there are so many variables. So here's my hydration tips for your FUN Fact Friday!

2ml to 5ml if it's hot and you're sweating multiplied by your body weight, first thing in the morning, while active (plus more) and everytime you go to the toilet!
So if you're 70kg, on a cooler day that's 70 x 2ml = 140ml each drink of water.

Enjoy the weekend and stay hydrated!
Michelle 💙🩵
