Why Use FNG HeartMath?
Today greater than 60% of adults are tired all the time (link to Harvard Business Review ‘pull the plug on stress’) and more than 50% no longer sleep properly. Children increasingly suffer from stress, particularly from exams and ongoing assessments at school, often leading to behavioural problems and a reduced ability to concentrate and learn.
FNG HeartMath provides a mechanism for successful self management for both adults and children; key to dealing with the destructive potential pressures of modern life:
- 31% of the adult population in the UK has high blood pressure, up from 27% five years ago
- 80% of all visits to the doctor in the UK are stress related
- The BMA has confirmed that greater than 75% of serious physical illnesses can be directly attributed to stress, at levels now commonplace in today's workplaces
- A recent study has identified that working in stressful environments increases your susceptibility to infections such as colds, flu and gastroenteritis by 20%
- There is recent research that proves conclusively that workplace stress is directly associated with coronary Heart Disease.
- Serious conditions such as stomach ulcers, heart attacks, strokes, and even cancer is more prevalent in people working under extreme stress
- Anxiety and depression is very much on the increase for adults and children alike. Governments are particularly concerned as science has now linked this to increased incidences of cancer and cardiovascular disease
Pressure or stress increases the production of a chemical called 'Cortisol'; this is the body's main stress hormone. The relationship between high Cortisol and the diseases of modern man (includes Diabetes, Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Coronary Heart Disease, hypertension and stroke) has been well understood and documented for the past 20 years.
FNG HeartMath, the missing piece of the jigsaw
Most people understand the need for improving physical fitness to ensure health, well being and longevity. We are encouraged to improve our diet, reduce alcohol intake, eliminate smoking and increase our weekly exercise quotas. What many people do not understand is that you can be physically very fit, but physiologically unfit – this is the reason why top sports people can die suddenly, even at a very young age.
The FNG HeartMath programme is the missing integral part of the jigsaw. FNG HeartMath is the key to building and maintaining physiological fitness and reducing the chances of getting the diseases of modern man as indicated above.
The reason the programme can achieve this is because it is proven to:
- Reduce the impact of pressure/ stress
- Reduce levels of Cortisol, the bodies main stress hormone
- Reduce blood pressure
- Increase DHEA – the antidote to Cortisol and the bodies naturally produced performance enhancer
- Increase Cognitive Function through a process called Cortical facilitation (increasing blood flow to the pre frontal cortex – the smart brain)
As well as for the family:
- Increase children’s and young peoples exam results by up to 100%
- Increase children's and young people's ability to focus, concentrate and learn
- Reduce the impact of exam/ test pressure
- Improve the chances of children and young people who have learning, behavioural and other disabilities such as AD(H)D, dyslexia and conditions on the autistic spectrum.
