Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Symptoms may flare up or subside, but they generally worsen slowly. In MS, muscle spasms, muscle stiffness (spasticity), muscle weakness, pain and incontinence can cause most of the problems. In this article I describe how electrical muscle stimulation can help manage symptoms and why regular physical activity is so important for people living with MS.
Maintaining your skin's firmness, reducing wrinkles or even shaping your body contour can all be important goals. Radiofrequency (RF) treatment offers a modern, painless solution that can even be used at home — simply and non-invasively.
If you are battling a chronic disease, you have probably asked yourself many times: "Who will help me?" The answer may be surprising, but the most important person who can truly help is you. This does not mean you must face every problem alone, but that you can hold the key to healing in your own hands.
While your training partners are still pushing extra sets, smart athletes are training smarter with the same technology used in Olympic training centers. Professional athletes have been using a method for years that most amateurs have no idea about. It's time for you to find out what makes the difference.
International elite sport has integrated electrical muscle stimulation into its toolkit for decades — however, at the domestic amateur and semi‑professional level it can still be a lesser‑known option. Fresh clinical trials after 2020 consistently show that EMS (or NMES) can simultaneously support strength development, recovery and injury prevention — as a complementary tool, not instead of traditional training. In this article I summarize what EMS is useful for athletes, which protocols are recommended, and which device suits a given sport.
Do you also enjoy a reward beer after a long bike ride? You're a bit thirsty and hungry… Why not have a drink? However, you should know how alcohol affects your body. How will it affect your recovery? And while we're at it, how does it affect your athletic performance? The cognitive effects of alcohol are well known: it impairs coordination skills, decision-making and perception. […]
Microcurrent therapy — internationally abbreviated as MENS (Microcurrent Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation) — is the branch of electrotherapy that uses the lowest current intensities. Classic TENS and EMS devices operate in the 0–50 milliampere (mA) range; microcurrent is 1,000 times smaller, only in the 10–600 microampere (µA) range. This magnitude is so small that the user typically does not feel a tingling — the current is subsensory, i.e., below the sensory threshold. Nevertheless, according to the 2021 systematic review by Iijima (PMID 34589695), it can produce clinically demonstrable improvements in certain indications (knee pain, wound healing).
There can be many reasons to switch to a vegetarian diet. For example, to preserve or regain your health, because of spiritual beliefs, concerns about animal welfare, fear of antibiotics and hormones used in animal husbandry, or to avoid excessive exploitation of environmental resources, etc.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin best known for its antioxidant properties. Chemically, it comprises a group of compounds known as tocopherols and tocotrienols. Its most important role in the body is to protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, thereby slowing the aging process and reducing the risk of various chronic diseases.
