Here’s How Meditation Can Lead to Better Health and Sports Performance
Doctors focus on treating diseases and injuries as or after they occur. While doctors urge people to use preventative medication and treatment, that often falls onto the shoulders of the individual in question. Doctors are simply too busy to guide patients day in and day out. One of the best forms of preventative care you can undergo is meditation.
Meditation is excellent for your mental health. It can help you focus and reduce stress. Reduced stress, in turn, is great for your cardiovascular system. Stress and anxiety will strain your cardiovascular system. Irregular blood pressure, insomnia, and other conditions associated with stress may be affecting your cardiovascular health and causing other problems as well.
The American Heart Association has found that regular meditation is associated with a reduced risk of heart attacks. Given that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, claiming 600,000 people each year in the United States alone, anything you can do to reduce risks could go a long way.

Getting Prepped For the Iron Man Race
The Iron Man triathlon is one of the most intensive races in the world. Many of QiVantage’s customers race in the Iron Man each year. Some complete the race, some don’t but everyone who tries will tell you that’s quite the test of endurance. If you want to take on Iron Man, you need to do a lot of preparation.
The Iron Man race starts out with a 2.4-mile swim. That might not sound too bad, but once you get going you’ll realize it’s a heck of a challenge. And you’ll have just two hours and twenty minutes to finish. Fail? Go home.
After that, you’re going to have to hunker down for a 112-mile bike ride. You’ll have eight hours and ten minutes to cross the finish line, so you don’t have to race, per say, but you’re going to need a lot of stamina.
Following the bicycle race, you’re going to need to complete a traditional running marathon. That’s good for 26.22 […]
