HOLISTIC BALANCE APPLIED TO SPORT AND QUALITY OF LIFE AND LONGEVITY

Incorporating integrative and complementary practices to Sports and Wellness offers possibilities of choices to broaden the concept of care and health promotion, aiming at achieving a sports health focused on prevention and balanced athletic development. Auriculotherapy and Aromatherapy are light techniques, effective and scientifically proven for the bioenergetic harmonization between mind and body.

• The combination of Auriculotherapy (Ear Seeds) and Aromatherapy (Specific Essential Oils) becomes a powerful therapy for holistic health.

NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL AURICULOTHERAPY - EAR SEEDS

Originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Neurophysiological Auriculotherapy consists of stimulating the ear's energy points in a non-invasive manner through seeds to improve the vital energy flow of the body and promote organic homeostasis by eliminating toxins and release of endorphins, dopamines, and control of the vagal-sympathetic modulation. It can be applied to people of all ages. We seek the harmonization of the energetic functions of the body, taking advantage of the reflex and connection that the auricle exerts on the Central Nervous System. In addition, the auricle has energetic micromeridians, which, when stimulated, can reestablish the body's energetic flow.

• It promotes the control of stress, anxiety, emotional state, sleep quality, body weight, obesity, and anti-inflammatory analgesic action, in a non-invasive, safe and effective way, without adverse side effects.

In sports, the sequence of training, competitions, the search for performance, and personal challenges can generate anxiety and concern that affect the athlete's routine, causing stress processes and a drop in professional quality.

AROMATHERAPY - ESSENTIAL OILS

Essential oils are part of these integrative practices for the adjustment in developing the physical and mental aspects. They are natural compounds extracted from various parts of plants that benefit the performance of people and athletes, physically or psychologically, as attested by experts and scientific studies.These oils are produced from a defense mechanism of plants against environmental aggression, such as fungi.

The improvements are diverse due to the range of existing essential oils. However, those who try it for the first time are surprised by the response time after application. Studies show that peppermint oil generates a response in muscle strength after five minutes of its use.

Stress and anxiety are disorders in several people, affecting mainly athletes during competition. The decline in sleep quality can directly interfere with recovery and increase the risk of injury.

Several sports in the USA and professional soccer teams worldwide benefit in several areas of health and performance of their institutions, making the product available to help athletes in the body, mental part, and their recovery. Aromatic and topical (on the skin) are the most usual ways to take advantage of essential oils.

Sleeping well brings countless benefits to your physical and mental health, interfering significantly with your quality of life, health, and sports. Understand how we can make your sleep even more restful.

The benefits of a good night's sleep are countless for the body and mind and are directly linked to the performance and results of those who lead an active life. This is because, besides being a basic human need, sleep is also fundamental for the body's physical and psychological recovery.

People's routines are increasingly hectic, and this agitation reflects directly on sleep. Sleeping less brings several disadvantages to the body, so it is essential to know how to get quality sleep. Not getting enough quality sleep regularly increases the risk of developing heart disease, obesity, anxiety, and the most common sleep disorders, such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome.

According to some studies, those who sleep between four to five hours a night increase their risk of developing obesity by up to 60 percent. The amount of sleep varies from person to person because their main characteristics are considered, such as their needs, diet, and physical activities.

Reference on the number of hours of sleep by age:

• 6 to 12 years old: 9-12 hours per 24h
• 13 to 18 years old: 8-10 hours per 24h
• 18 to 60 years old: 7 or more hours per night

We understand, therefore, that it is necessary to develop a very efficient and quality sleep routine.

• Turn off electronic devices such as smartphones and televisions about an hour before going to bed, mainly because these components stimulate the brain - because of the light emitted - and impair sleep;
• Have a dark environment to maintain a suitable environment for relaxation and quality sleep;
• Some research indicates that alcoholic beverages - when consumed before bedtime - can impair REM sleep (rapid eye movement), which is the most profound dimension of sleep. This is when we dream, and sleep is characterized by being more profound and restful, helping to rest and strengthen our body. Several studies demonstrate the benefits of REM sleep providing benefits in depression, anxiety, cognitive brain functioning, and also in lowering blood pressure;
• Avoid heavy foods such as fat consumption, as the digestion process lasts longer and disrupts night sleep.

Biologix Sleep Test

We can measure the quality of your sleep, identifying and monitoring snoring and sleep apnea through your brain activity under normal sleep conditions.
This evaluation and control become essential to seek the necessary adjustments to achieve the benefits of restful sleep.

Sleep apnea affects 33% of the entire adult population, of which 90% remain unidentified. This condition affects not only the quality of life of the individual due to its symptoms such as sleepiness and fatigue, loss of productivity, memory loss, and difficulty in concentration but mainly the health because it is directly linked to various diseases such as heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes, and many others.

*Clinical validation of Biologix Technology was performed at InCor - HCFMUSP Heart Institute, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
