Dramatically Lower the Risk of Cancer & Death by Disease - Secret Revealed

A very simple step by step process lowers the risk of cancer and death by disease.  So simple, in fact, that you already know what it is.  Doing it regularly is the difficult part.  But when you know how effective this process is I am certain you will do more of it - more often.

Modern day sedentary lifestyles lessen bodily circulation which, necessarily, lessens the body’s ability to naturally remove toxins.  The resultant higher ambient level of contaminants contained within the body is bad for overall health and fitness.

There are many “cleanses” available for counteracting the higher levels of poisons within our bodies.  Some modern cleanses are artificially chemical in nature and others are organic.  However, the most simple and natural body cleanse is one that is performed constantly by the body itself.  Our bodies are fantastic mechanisms and improving the volume of bodily fluids circulating through them assists our cleansing organs (liver, kidneys, pancreas, & spleen) to better do their jobs.

The step by step process which results in improving the natural processes which “cleanse” the body is actually just that - step by step - commonly known as walking.

Before dismissing this suggestion as just another whacky prescription to ignore consider this from the New England Journal of Medicine, 1998, Volume 338, pages 94 and 95:

 “Walking two or more miles per day lowers the risk of cancer.”

 

and:

“All death by disease is reduced by 50% if you walk just two miles per day.”

 

I knew walking was beneficial to fitness because my paternal grandfather made it to a healthy 98 years by walking an hour a day, every day, whether he felt like it or not.

Because of my grandfather’s healthy example we have produced a hand held piece of workout equipment which boosts circulation and which may be used when walking, standing, sitting, even when lying down.  It is simple and lightweight, stores easily, and travels well.  It improves circulation by providing resistance against moving the hands and force must be continuously exerted on the device in order to alter its shape.

 
Our device is called the Heart Flex because it boosts circulation (Heart) as it builds upper body fitness and strength (Flex).  Incidentally, it also gives the best and most complete wrist and forearm workout around. 

Please watch this video by Dr. Mike Maggio, a POSE trained walking and running coach where he demonstrates common walking mistakes, illustrates proper walking form, and shows how to use the Heart Flex to supercharge your walking workout.  

Martial Arts Applications and Fitness Walking Exercises for HeartFlex from France

Our French distributor, Jean Makpevode, is a third degree black belt in the art of Tae Kwon Do, karate. I didn’t know this when he originally contacted me and expressed the desire to be our French distributor. To visit his website go to www.heartflex.fr.

HeartFlex is particularly useful for the martial arts because it:

• Improves Hand Speed
• HeartFlex utilizes the same principals as a boxer’s speed bag by combining easy resistance with multiple repetitions.
• Builds Arm Structure
• HeartFlex targets and strengthens the wrist and forearm muscles so that they act as one cohesive unit. Stabilizing these muscles delivers a much more powerful punch or block and helps to protect against carpal injuries.
• Makes You Punch Like a Demon
• Blazing hand speed coupled with arm strength maximizes the effectiveness of your punching power.

Jean also trains other elite athletes. He uses the HeartFlex to develop dynamic balance and core stability.

Jean teaches fitness classes in Paris where he takes his students and walks the neighborhoods while using HeartFlex.

Walking in Paris while using the HeartFlex is a great way to get a complete workout. He calls these outings "Tonic Walks. Here he is on the left giving some personal instruction to one of his students. "

He has developed a group cardio workout in conjunction with the Reebok Step. HeartFlex supplies the crucial upper body component of fitness while walking.

Watch him demonstrate this workout by clicking on this video link. His website is: www.heartflex.fr .

Note the spring action walking devices that Jean is using with the HeartFlex.

Seniors Fitness Benefits From Using HeartFlex

"Helping folks lower their golf scores and hit more kill shots in racquet sports is a worthy goal. However, one of my passions is utilizing the HeartFlex to improve quality of life issues and I am very pleased that it has applications for improving Senior Fitness."

HeartFlex uses a proprietary technology which is totally benign. It does not rely upon heavy weights, dangerous springs, or rubber bands which can fall or snap back and cause injury. We have noticed that less conditioned folks are easily intimidated by most exercise products.

Though HeartFlex was not originally intended for seniors it has been found to restore functionality and strength in seniors and the deconditioned.

We received the following letter from Bonnie Livingston, a trainer at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, South Hills:

"My classes love the addition of the HeartFlex! So far I am using them at an assisted living facility where the population is less conditioned than the Silver Sneakers but I know they would love the addition if we can get it approved by Healthcare Dimensions. I intend to show it to the Silver Sneakers representatives the next time they are in town. I will keep you posted".

HeartFlex also gave us a surprise when my friend Art, a diabetic, took some HeartFlex units to his diabetes clinic. We discovered that it has the ability to lower blood sugar levels.

"To whom it may concern:
Re: Heartflex exercise device
"This device has been used in several classes at The Diabetes Center. It is easy to demonstrate, and patients find it simple to use. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver. It would also travel well. It may be used in a standing or sitting position and can be effective for patients at varying degrees of fitness. We have observed drops in blood sugar from 10 to 60 points after only 5 minutes of activity."
Sincerely,"

We also found the HeartFlex is effective regardless of age.
Alberta (Bert) C., 72 years young,
"I like it, its fun to play with. It gives you something to do with your hands. I've never enjoyed exercise, but this is fun!"

Alice F., 77 years young,
Alice, who walks 1 1/2 miles per day, said about using HeartFlex, "This is fun! This keeps your mind off things. I would use it in my apartment every day. Excellent!"

So far we have found that HeartFlex is easy enough for anyone to use. By increasing repetitions it also provides a great workout for even the most elite athlete. Again, we have found that HeartFlex provides benefits regardless of age or fitness level. My personal hope is that HeartFlex will assist seniors in maintaining and/or restoring their independence and dignity by giving them the functional strength necessary for a full and independent lifestyle.
