2 FLAME FILES Tuesday [Edition November datE] 7 2017 22 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi News • By Julia Evans A FOLK art exhibition is returning to St Albans after a 10-year hiatus. On Saturday, the sale and exhibition of the New Zealand Folk and Decorative Artists’ Guild is being held at the Forfar Courts Community Hall. The guild used to hold an exhibition in the area but stopped to have a stall at the Great New Zealand Craft Show in Lyttelton about 10 years ago. “We decided it would be a great opportunity to have a sale and exhibition on our own again as we have many very beautiful pieces of decorative painting that have been donated to our guild since it was started in 1990,” guild immediate past president Chris Threadwell said. ART: Folk paintings will be back on display in St Albans on Saturday. Folk art returns to St Albans She said the pieces do not often get a chance to be on display to the public so this would offer a chance to show off the art’s beauty. “The public can see the beautiful work that can be achieved, with practice, and become heirlooms of the future. Most of these pieces have been donated by tutors who have come from overseas on teaching appointment,” she said.

School blaze and Guy Fawkes keep firefighters occupied • By Mark Thomas – specialist fire investigator I’VE BEEN away from Christchurch for a couple of weeks. I missed the arson attack on Linwood North School on October 21. I’m mentioning it here because school fires are one of the most unsettling for communities to deal with. Students, teachers and parents often feel personally violated when their school is attacked in this way. In my experience and knowledge, it is very rare that school arsonists are old enough to vote. In fact, often they are recent pupils themselves of the school concerned. It’s disturbing and sad that there are young people who can hate their teachers, peers and community enough to destroy the buildings that are the bricks and mortar of that school community. I hope the Linwood North arsonists are caught. If only to prevent a similar reoccurrence. Guy Fawkes will be over by the time this column is published. While things have improved from the wild west days of multiple fires and horrendous injuries, it mystifies firefighters why DISTURBING: Linwood North School after an arson attack. full fire bans are the norm for very good reasons for 51 weeks of the year but are totally suspended for one week. All to somehow celebrate the murderous intent of a terrorist who was caught red-handed 500 years ago on the far side of the world. We are often called to rescue cats up trees. Last Wednesday at Jellie Park, there was a tree involved but this time a child was stuck. They’d been rescued by the time our troops arrived. Might have just saved them some embarrassment at school.

[Edition datE] NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday November 7 2017 233 SENIOR LIVING Co-Q10 reduces all causes of mortality by 50% Researchers were amazed with the results of how beneficial a natural nutrient Coenzyme- Q10 (CoQ10) is to the human body. Co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in the body’s cells that is essential for cell function, energy and survival. The Heart, Liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large amounts of Co-Q10 to function well. In a recent multi country double blind trial on the possible benefits of CoQ10 to protect against heart failure, 420 patients with severe heart failure were given CoQ10 or a placebo and then followed for two years. It was found to the amazement of the researchers the patients who received the Co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an adverse cardiovascular event or death compared to the placebo patients. Not only this but the patients on the CoQ10 had a 50% reduction in death not only from cardiovascular events but from all causes. According to lead study author Professor Mortensen this study is the first in over a decade to show a natural nutrient can reduce heart failure mortality and CoQ10 should be added as a standard treatment for anyone with cardiovascular complaints. It is known that CoQ10 levels decrease in the heart muscle of patients with heart failure as severity worsens.

Symptoms of low CoQ10 in the body can be low energy and endurance, muscle pain, poor memory and concentration and poor heart function or heart failure. CoQ10 levels are known to decrease as we age and many researchers believe keeping our levels up of this vital nutrient may help prevent many chronic diseases including cancer. Co-Q10 is available as a natural supplement to support good health.

We are Always Happy to Help! Are you Magnesium deficient? Minerals are the building blocks of good health. Some minerals are only needed in trace amounts where others like magnesium are need in much larger amounts and on a regular basis to prevent deficiency and maintain optimum health. A large number of us do not obtain sufficient magnesium from our diet and may notice some of the common signs of deficiency. Some of the more common symptoms that may be caused by insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands, blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep, raised and/or unstable blood pressure, poor circulation, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, swallowing problems, dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation, irritability, seizures, poor concentration and many more. Although many young people now show signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms generally worsen as we age due to our digestive system being less efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement of sufficient strength may be a sensible option to top up our vital magnesium levels. Not all magnesium supplements however are well absorbed by everyone. Luckily a new marine sourced magnesium has been found that offers good levels of absorbable magnesium as well as many trace nutrients that are low in the diet but essential for good health.
