Don’t let lymphoedema make you limp through life




Water may be life – but you don’t want it to stagnate. This is what happens in lymphoedema. Fluids are retained, causing arms or legs to swell. While lymphoedema is inherited, it often occurs as a result of surgery, blockages in the lymph nodes or an inhibited lymphatic system. Bouncing on a bellicon® can be wonderfully beneficial if you suffer from lymphoedema. The gentle exercise helps pump trapped fluid back into the lymphatic and circulatory systems, reducing swelling and pressure. As an added bonus, you’ll be getting an excellent cardiovascular workout. Keeping fit and maintaining a healthy weight is important for lymphoedema sufferers. Studies have shown that these are factors in controlling the symptoms of lymphoedema and reducing the number of flare-ups. In fact, rebounding can even lower your risk of developing the condition in the first place.

Gently does it

Remember, there’s no need to go overboard when exercising. You won’t enjoy it and you’re not doing your body any favours. Regular, moderate-intensity workouts are all you need to stay healthy and fit. And if you suffer from lymphoedema, it’s even more important to start by taking it easy. Begin with very gentle health bouncing on your bellicon®, letting gravity and our highly elastic bungees do the work for you. Build up your routines gradually, stopping if you experience pain or the swelling increases. It might also be necessary to wear compression garments or bandages while exercising.

Doctor’s orders

If you suffer from lymphoedema, we advise you to ask your doctor before starting a new exercise programme. Considering that the causes, severity and treatment of lymphoedema can vary greatly from person to person, it’s best to find out what routine will benefit you most without aggravating your condition. Another important consideration is the use of compression garments while exercising. A knowledgeable professional should also be able to guide you in this regard.

Best Trampoline for Kids and Baby

Image
Over the past few years we have tested over two dozen different trampolines. Some designed for toddlers ages 2-3 or so, and others designed for bigger kids aged 4-7 or so. There are also much larger ones for bigger kids aged 8+ and we include one of those in the list below, simply because we’ve had such great experiences with it. We focus primarily on toddler trampolines and “big kid” trampolines: The toddler trampolines usually are smaller, provide less of an elevated bounce, and have an attached handlebar with padding to ease kids into learning how to bounce on their own. These are very low to the ground (usually 4-6″), usually have a weight capacity under 80 pounds, and use either springs or bungee cords to hold the jumping surface onto the frame. Our boys have never fallen off one of these (knock on wood!), even in the beginning, and they are not the most coordinated boys in the world! But they have succeeded in bouncing the trampoline into oblivion and breaking t...

Nikon Z 6

Image
Nikon is new to the full frame mirrorless category, and while the Nikon Z 6 may not be quite as refined as Sony’s third generation, the new camera still packs a powerful punch. The Z 6 uses a 24.5-megapixel full frame sensor that captures excellent images. DxOMark ranks it right below the Sony a7 III by a single point. The camera body also has stabilization built-in. This can help in those low light shots if the baby isn’t moving around. As part of Nikon’s new mirrorless series, the Z 6 has access to a lot of existing Nikon lenses using an adapter. This could be reason enough to choose the Z 6 for photographers that already own some Nikkor glass. Like most mirrorless cameras, there’s a silent electronic shutter for when being quiet matters. And the Z 6 is even faster than the a7 III with a 12 fps, though that’s in an extended mode with a few limitations. The Z 6 is lighter than Nikon’s DSLRs, though not by a lot if you use a heavier Z lens or once you add t...
