We all have knees. It is the largest joint in our body, and sometimes it can really hurt. Our knees are needed for pretty much any form of movement – such as running, cycling or swimming.

But what happens when you have knee pain? And how can you help it?

Knee Injuries

Our knees can be injured in many different ways such as, sprains, strains and tears.

Most common knee injuries occur in sport athletes, however you don’t need to be an athlete to have knee pain.

Here’s how you can manage knee pain

Rest

Rest your knee when you can. It is recommended to stand, walk or flex your knee every hour for around 1 minute, to keep blood flow through your joint.

Yoga is a great way to actively rest your body including your mind. 

Exercise

Exercise may have been what caused the injury in the first place, however it’s also a blessing in disguise. By walking, cycling, or swimming can reduce future recurrences.

Just make sure you take it slow and steady.

Invest in a quality knee brace

The EzyFit knee brace is designed to be comfortable, flexible and easy to use. Made with flexible neoprene that moulds with your knee, double stitched edges to avoid scratching your skin and made to be fully adjustable to fit properly.

Stay away from using Ice

Icing sore joints can give you brief pain relief, however this will ultimately slow down the healing process.

If you have inflammation, drink plenty of water, stretch frequently and consult your doctor. 

However heat can help with blood flow, increasing healing time and improving flexibility.

How to prevent recurring knee pain:

• Warm up before exercise.
• Use a knee brace.
• Introduce fish oil supplements to your diet.
• Replace old running shoes.
• Strengthen your hip flexors and quads.

As the seasons change, so do our daily routines. Just as trees drop their leaves to turn inward and conserve energy, we can let go of activities for which we no longer have energy—whether mental or physical—to rest and recover during the winter.

Especially with the lack of daily light, willpower can feel like an old friend. But routines don’t need to be boring or lengthy. Here are some tips on how to keep a productive daily routine that will keep you focused on your goals even when the year is coming to an end.

Sleep

With the sun setting much earlier in the evening and rising much later in the morning, catching enough zzz’s isn’t the worst thing in the world. However, spending too much time in bed can greatly affect your productivity. Be honest with yourself on how many hours per night you need.

With the recommended eight hours, and the sun setting sooner, you can use the change in seasons to work for you. If you’ve never been an early riser, now is your chance. With an earlier bedtime causes an earlier rise!

No phone for the first hour of waking

It is easy to jump straight on social media and catch up on what you missed overnight. But the best thing about the internet is that it’s never going anywhere.

By spending the first hour of rising either reading a book, journaling or moving your body, you are eliminating the possibility of falling down a Facebook wormhole for hours.

Making conscious decisions

We all know the foods we love and the foods we hate. But have you ever considered how those foods make you and your body feel after eating them? Food is fuel, and if you’re not fuelling your body with the nutrition it requires your immune system is at risk.

With the colder months it can be easy to catch the lurgy, which is why fuelling your body with clean, vitamin rich foods is so essential to staying on top of your game all winter long.

Take a deep breath

The year is nearly over. You’ve done so well this year! Take a moment to relive your best memories of the year.

What did you enjoy?

What are you grateful for?

How can next year be even better?

Have time for fun!


WHOOP! It’s nearly the holiday season. Summer was great but the new year is better!

This is the time of year to sit back and relax a little. 

Keep those goals in mind and be proud of what you’ve achieved this year!

Homeless people cover many miles every day in their quest for somewhere to sleep safely, so when Gary Graca, Co-director of the medical outreach team from Wolverine Street Medicine in Detroit Michigan reached out to EzyFit for help, providing some knee braces was the perfect charitable donation.

EzyFit Waist Trimmer #1

KimKardasian has aself proclaimed obsession with a waist training trend that began in Columbia and is taking the world by storm, butdo the products really work?

A product review by respected health and personal care website www.healthbestreviews.com, revealed the top 10 Waist Trimmers on the market with some interesting results.

Waist training was first popularised in the cosmetic surgery hotspot of Columbia, where women copied liposuction patients using surgical corsets to reduce swelling, by wearing tight wraps to cinch their waists.

Now a plethora of waist trimmer beltsare available to answer the growing demand around the world.

Trouble is, as the Health Best Reviews website warns “Too many products are nothing more than just cashing in on people’s desperation, and a few solutions that do work usually are too difficult to use on a consistent basis – or too expensive.”

To help consumers make good choices instead of parting with cash and ending up disappointed, the review site looked into the top selling waist trimmers to “whittle down the abundant options.”

The specific points they were reviewing included how much each waist trimmer was:
Comfortable and easy to wear on a regular basis,
Discrete enough to wear in public,
Inexpensive, but still well-made and
Provided the transformational benefits with almost no extra effort whatsoever

Of the top 10 best selling Waist Trimmers available, the review found that the “EzyFit Superior Waist Trimmer Belt is arguably the best trimmer in the current market.”

The reviewers continued, “There’s plenty to like about the EziFit Waist Trimmer. It’s stretchable, strong, and easy to put on, thanks to the Velcro material it’s made of. It feels tight around the waist but is extremely comfortable. The moment you give it a pat down you’ll instantly feel sexier. And it does help you sweat a lot, bolstered even further by regular workouts.”

The review also pointed out that the EzyFit had the added benefit of helping with posture and lower back pain.

EzyFit founder Jessica Shaw, was delighted with the review result, responding that she had “worked very hard to develop a superior product that delivered quality use without being too expensive.”

The review concluded with a glowing recommendation for the EziFit Waist Trimmer, “You can’t go wrong with most of the products we’ve listed here, but if we were tasked to provide recommendations, our first pick would be the EzyFit Superior Waist Trimmer Belt. It’s the most potent in terms of combined flexibility and comfort, not to mention that it looks great.”

The EziFit Superior Waist Trimmer Belt is available at Amazon.com
