Robotic Hands With The Brady Touch

 

 

A massage that maps your body, adapts to your proportions, and puts the pressure controls in your hands — Aescape is a decidedly technological take on massage. It is a robotic bodywork platform bringing a futuristic massage experience to fitness clubs, hotels, and wellness destinations — and has just introduced the Brady Protocol, developed with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.

Aescape delivers what the company calls Adaptive Body Therapy. Before the massage begins, the system maps your body to guide the treatment according to your contours and proportions. Throughout the session, you can adjust the pressure in real time, dialing the intensity up or down or pausing whenever you choose.

I must admit I was terrified to try a robotic massage. But the Tom Brady connection sparked my curiosity, and I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, I loved it. The machine had a softer touch than I imagined, and at times felt like human hands. Read More

For Whatever Ails: Take Magnesium

 

 

Not sleeping? Take magnesium. Constipated? Take magnesium. Muscle cramps? You guessed it… take magnesium. It seems to be everyone’s answer to what ails you. “Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body”, says Dr. Daryl Gioffre, Certified Nutritionist, Gut Health Specialist. “It is the number one neuroprotector of your brain, and is responsible for hundreds of enzyme reactions throughout your body, “yet it’s the single biggest nutritional deficiency I see in most people.”

Getting enough magnesium is essential, and supplementation can help bridge the gap when you’re not meeting your needs through your diet. But a trip down the supplement aisle reveals a dizzying array of options: magnesium citrate, glycinate, oxide, malate, and more. Same mineral, different formulations. So what does each actually do? Here’s our guide to decoding the magnesium menu.

MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE — SLEEP SUPPORT

Magnesium glycinate, also called bisglycinate, helps promote muscle relaxation, stress reduction, and better sleep. For replenishing low magnesium overall, Dr.Gioffre’s go-to is chelated magnesium bisglycinate because binding magnesium to glycine helps support absorption while keeping it generally gentle on the gut. Glycine supports GABA activity in the brain, reducing nervous system activity to produce a soothing effect. 

MAGNESIUM CITRATE — CONSTIPATION & GENERAL SUPPLEMENTATION

As a citrus byproduct, magnesium citrate can boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and increase antibody production. If constipation is the complaint, magnesium citrate is one of the most familiar options. It draws water into the intestines, softening stool and making it easier to pass — but dose matters. Its bowel-moving benefits can also mean diarrhea and abdominal cramping. Read More

Liberty to Freedom Swim

 

 

Last Saturday, 27 swimmers took to New York Harbor for the annual Liberty to Freedom Swim, a 2.2-mile open-water swim connecting two of New York City’s most striking landmarks and vistas: Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. The swim was established in 2012 in remembrance of September 11, and as a celebration of the resilience possible in the aftermath of adversity.

Organized by URBANSWIM, the Liberty to Freedom Swim, gives experienced open water swimmers the rare opportunity to experience New York from the water, crossing the Hudson River channel with the Manhattan skyline, One World Trade Center, and the Statue of Liberty as their reference points — with a perspective of the city that is impossible to experience from land.

New York City based, URBANSWIM puts on a series of open water swims in iconic locations such as the Brooklyn Bridge Swim, Roosevelt Island Swim, and the Swim Around Manhattan. The events were created to serve as a catalyst for change in the relationship between urban populations and their waterways, and make the joys and benefits of clean urban waters accessible to everyone.
