So, the “new normal” is seeing friends,families and taking classes, etc. by ZOOM(or some other media). I have been doing lots ofclasses through ZOOM and it keeps me happy to see friendly faces.Being “hunkered down” for solong, we social creatures long forcompanionship. My two cats aregreat company, but I don’t speakcat language. Sometimes I long tospeak with a human!I’m not promoting ZOOM, butit sure has become so popular andmany trainings have appeared onsocial media. It really is pretty easyto navigate once you learn the basics.Even some of my beloved Zumba classes have been through ZOOM.Having not being able to teach or participate at my fitness center sinceMarch, I found that by participating in online classes has been a blast!I’ve been taking at least 4-5 classes a week through ZOOM. Even myannual Zumba convention was held this year on ZOOM.Several instructors worldwide participated. It was fun to seeinstructors in Europe, Canada, Australia and South America.34Zooming AroundBy: Mary Richard / Health FitnessWhen Nausea StrikesBy: Kyo Mitchell / A Healthier Youperiodically have cancer patients come in forI help with nausea and vomiting while theyare undergoing chemotherapy. Most people knowthe unpleasant feeling of being nauseous or worse yet, vomiting. Yetfew understand and appreciate the purpose behind these physiologicalprocesses.Your body is designed to protect itself from harm. One of the mostvulnerable systems in your body is your nervous system.The nervous system is usually kept isolated from the circulatorysystem by what is known as the blood brain barrier. Think of this asa filter which keeps potentially harmful substances in the blood awayfrom the brain and nervous system.There is, however, a few places where this filter does not exist. Withinyour brain stem is a segment of nervous tissue called the area postremathat is in direct contact with the blood stream.The area postrema has a very important role. It samples the chemicalcompounds in the blood stream and if it finds something it deems tobe toxic, it makes an effort to expel this toxic substance before it can dothe body irreparable harm.Through the nervous system, the area postrema is connectedto the nerves that go to and control movement in your esophagus(throat),stomach and intestines. Usually these nerves are responsiblefor a process called peristalsis which causes coordinated muscularSeptember 2020Considering the difference in so many time zones, it made senseto accommodate as many as possible by varying the class times. Thisallowed me to dance and avoid the refrigerator calling me so frequently!Even my beloved Smith Center, which has been dark since March,enabled us to take some trainings and communicate with otheremployees through weekly ZOOM meetings. Oh, how I miss The SmithCenter! It appears that it may bequite a while until we can returnto work and enjoy all the fabulousperformances that were cancelled orrescheduled.For those who long for the humancompanionship, exercise while stillkeeping it safe, I would suggestsearching for classes online. Thereis such a variety that you should beable to find something to your liking.Stay safe, wear your mask, follow social distancing and wash yourhands. Let’s get through this together!Positive attitude and good health to all!Mary Richard is a long term supporter of senior fitness.
