Mode’s Nano CBD is bound to leave your body feeling relaxed and stress-free.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 21, 2022

CBD tinctures have been popular for years now, but there are some innovative CBD manufacturers who are looking at different extraction methods to create more effective products. Mode has just launched their latest CBD product, the Nano CBD Tincture.

Nano CBD differs from a standard CBD product in the way it is manufactured. When CBD products are made, the CBD first must be extracted from the hemp plant. The extraction process is where nano CBD and CBD differ. When nano CBD is extracted, the CBD molecules are coated with small particles that help the CBD enter the bloodstream faster. This process also removes the terpenes in the hemp to produce a purer form of CBD. This form of extraction results in “nano-sized” molecules that are small enough for the user to absorb the entire dose of CBD and feel its effects within minutes.

This highly effective form of CBD has been able to help users who are suffering from issues such as anxiety, stress, chronic pains, sleep disorders, and depression. Users will experience these benefits all while maintaining mental agility and focus. If users are wondering about the THC content in nano CBD, it will be no different than a traditional CBD product. The extraction process leaves out the parts of the hemp plant that are responsible for a high and keeps the parts that provide mental and physical benefits.

While users will not experience any of the effects associated with THC in Mode’s Nano CBD Tincture, the physical feelings of relaxation upon consumption are easily noticeable. This heightened state of relaxation is what allows users to fall asleep faster, wake up refreshed, and experience decreased levels of stress and anxiety. CBD is especially effective for people with anxiety due to its ability to activate the serotonin receptors in the brain. Low serotonin is a major contributor of anxiety and depression.

In addition to improving sleep and symptoms of anxiety and depression, CBD is an effective tool to combat chronic pain. Mode’s Nano CBD Tincture is quickly becoming a favorite amongst people who suffer from chronic pain since it is also water-soluble. One reviewer points out that “Since MODE products are water soluble, my body absorbs the pain relieving properties in A LOT less time than it did with the previous oil based CBD I was on. And for those of us who suffer with chronic pain throughout our bodies, the faster we feel relief, the better.”

Being that Mode’s Nano CBD Tincture is water soluble, it can be mixed easily with water or food while simultaneously being absorbed quickly by the body. The water solubility, in conjunction with the unique nano extraction process, has CBD users everywhere excited about this innovative new product.

About Mode: Mode is a family-owned hemp-derived cannabis company that focuses on creating all-natural and lab-tested CBD products to help promote wellness of the body and mind. Mode has a strong focus on creating high-quality CBD products that are fast acting and highly effective. Their line includes topical as well as ingestible CBD products that are expertly crafted to ensure their maximum potency.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (PRWEB)
September 16, 2022

Margaret J. Pittenger, MSPT announces her return into the publishing scene with the release of “Between Breath and Pain: Creating Sensory Awareness with Gentle Movement for Healing” (published by Archway Publishing), a health/diet/fitness book that integrates breath work with slow gentle balanced movement patterns that open channels of communication with pain.

The exercises in this book are not gym-style movements. The gentle movement is organized to enhance neural or brain learning and to use the symmetrical skeleton as a way to return to balanced movement across all the joints. All the exercises are written out and given in video format accessed by over 50 QR codes to demonstrate how these exercises improve breath and release pain across the body. The patterns in this book include the partnership of the whole body and the breath work across all the cells to create change in the brain and muscle partnerships. There is also a special section for pregnant women on breath and releasing pain.

“As you read about and use the movements I present in this book, please maintain a sense of self-awareness as you follow the rules I have laid out for the breath, the movements, and the practice. I ask you to practice the concept of ‘No Pain’ as you follow the movement patterns. This means to move slowly and remain aware of your movement so that there is no pain as you move. I believe when you practice the ‘No Pain’ method, you will find that your body is listening,” Pittenger says.

When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Pittenger answers, “our bodies come equipped with everything we need to be healthy, symmetrical and free from pain. Pain is often a learned entity and can be unlearned through breath work combined with slow, gentle researching of the brain’s expectations. As you move and breathe through this book, be gentle with yourself. Give yourself support. The moment you take a conscious outbreath is the start of pain-free living. Have hope!” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/835915-between-breath-and-pain

The NV Rack will be the treadmill of weightlifting, an absolute necessity.

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)
September 14, 2022

Build perfect technique, enhance speed and create explosive power with NV Rack, launching today. Based on proven training principles and decades of training experience NV Athletics created a patented Non-Varying Resistance™ system, made up of two squat rack attachments, that combine the power development of resistance bands, the versatility of free weights, and the controlled directional force of cable machines. It’s a functional fitness tool that will fundamentally change the way people train, learn, and teach.

Free weights, resistance bands and cable machines have limitations in their effectiveness and benefits. Users of all ages and physical ability levels can reap the benefits of the NV Rack by achieving the results of lifting heavy but at lighter, safe and repeatable weight.

The NV Rack’s patented Non-Varying Resistance technology provides the same amount of force throughout an entire movement. This constant force removes the inertia built up in a normal movement with body weight, free weights, or a cable machine and forces a full contraction through the entire range of every motion. Its directional force engages targeted muscle groups in challenging new ways, enabling users to maintain proper form and increase power output with every rep.

Historically, people have benefited from two types of resistance training: slowly lifting heavy loads and lifting lighter loads, faster. Non-Varying Resistance™ combines and incorporates both of these principles. The NV Rack’s small footprint allows it to sit in space that is normally unused, making it the perfect accessory to every squat rack. The rack connectors allow for high or low attachments, which can add resistance or assistance to virtually every single lift or movement imaginable. Once attached, NV Rack has three different arm positions, and four levels of resistance. It’s a game changer in the gym or the garage.

“The NV Rack will be the treadmill of weightlifting, an absolute necessity,” said John Walker, a two-time national champion at USC and former NFL defensive back. “I would use this everyday and encourage any aspiring athlete to use it everyday.”

The NV Rack has been carefully engineered and is the ultimate accessory to every workout. Beginners and fitness enthusiasts alike can access NV Rack’s online library, available on their website, for guidance and stay up to date on the newest ways to maximize their workout routines.

About NV Athletics

NV Athletics started out with one mission: to make exercising more efficient. Combining proven training principles and decades worth of training experience NV Athletics has created a functional fitness tool that will fundamentally change the way people train, learn, and teach. Training with Non-Varying Resistance™ allows users to train more efficiently. The benefits of being able to utilize max power output repeatedly is the most impactful way to train.

The IVV Olympiad, a major walking festival open to walking enthusiasts of all levels, will be held in San Antonio, Texas in February 2023.

“This week-long festival is an incredible opportunity for us to share our passion for walking and the hospitality of our beautiful city with active people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.” Henry Rosales, President and CEO of AVA: America’s Walking Club.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (PRWEB)
September 13, 2022

For the first time, one of the world’s premier walking festivals, the IVV Olympiad, will take place in North America next February 19-23, in San Antonio. The bi-annual international event will welcome guests from around the world, across the nation and locally for a series of non-competitive walking, biking, and swimming experiences.

The 2023 IVV Olympiad will be hosted by AVA: America’s Walking Club, a national nonprofit organization based in San Antonio, and a member of the IVV — the International Federation of Popular Sports. The Olympiad will be held in conjunction with the Texas Trail Roundup, February 24-26 – another international event co-sponsored by America’s Walking Club’s Texas state association and the International Marching League (IML).

“This week-long festival is an incredible opportunity for us to share our passion for walking and the hospitality of our beautiful city with active people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds,” said Henry Rosales, President and CEO of AVA: America’s Walking Club. “Our sport organization is committed to fun, fitness and friendship. That’s exactly what our guests will experience in San Antonio next February.”

Each day of the festival offers a different schedule of walks, swimming and biking events. Walking distances range from 5km (3.1 miles) to 42km (26 miles) and take place on trails, parkways, and urban routes to the north, south, east and west of downtown San Antonio. Participants will walk along San Antonio’s world-famous River Walk and visit the historic Spanish missions, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Swimming events will take place at the Northside ISD Aquatic Center.

Participation is open to the general public, and the $155 registration fee covers the entire week of events (both IVV & IML). The registration fee increases to $170 on Nov. 30. Registration includes daily admission to the Olympiad Village at La Villita and to the 40 country Parade of Flags, plus opening and closing ceremonies.

All IVV and IML events are non-competitive and completed at the participant’s individual pace. Participants may start an event individually or in a group at any time during a specified time window and are allowed more than enough time to finish the various distance options. Special provisions also allow for the physically challenged to participate in most events.

Walking is the most popular of all U.S. fitness activities and has been identified by the Surgeon General as the most beneficial form of exercise for Americans of all ages and athletic ability levels. America’s Walking Club – formally known as the American Volkssport Association (AVA) – administers one of the nation’s largest healthy living sports programs through its 188 local walking clubs nationwide. Its all-volunteer clubs hold a variety of events – more than 2,500 annually – in all 50 states. Many of its walking events offer a pre-marked 10-kilometer trail with an option to walk 3 or fewer kilometers, but these festivals will also include extended distances of up to 42km.

As a non-profit organization, America’s Walking Club is dedicated to promoting personal physical fitness and good health by providing fun-filled, safe exercise in a stress-free environment through non-competitive walks and hikes, bike rides, swims, and in some regions cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
