The Benefits of Rebonding

by Jo Francks, MH

Many years ago David Christopher interviewed Dave Hall on the Healthier Your Radio Show and they discussed the benefits of rebound exercise and quite specifically Cellercise® . A Cellerciser® is a type of mini trampoline Dave Hall designed and Cellercise® is the exercise you get when you bounce on the Cellerciser®.

Rebounding on this type of mini-trampoline is easy, effective, and fun. Just 10 minutes a day is all you need to get a full workout. You can work your arms, legs and entire body all at the same time and it helps you feel stronger, healthier and have more energy.

Different movements on the Cellerciser will massage the internal organs to help improve digestion. People notice increased circulation, it opens capillaries and helps oxygenate the tissues. What I learned from Dr. Christopher, was that rebounding is a wonderful exercise to improve the lymphatic system. When we improve the lymphatic system we are strengthening our immune system. It also reduces cortisol levels, balances blood sugar levels and reduces stress.

The Cellerciser® is being used by many ophthalmologists to improve vision. This exercise tones the body from the inside out rather than the outside in. With each bounce every cell, muscle and organ of the body is gently expanding and contracting over 100 times a minute without jarring or being torn down. It can be used by people of all ages at any fitness level. If you’re trying to improve your fitness with low impact exercise in only 10 minutes a day you may want to try Cellercising.

The thing that sets the Cellerciser® apart from other mini-trampolines is the design. It has TriDaptable® tapered spring that adjusts to your own body weight to prevent foot pronation and to give just the right amount of resistance on the mat. It is constructed from super strong steel to last a lifetime. It also folds up so you can take it with you when you leave home.

I first learned about the Cellerciser® in about 2002 and have been using it regularly since. It is not my exclusive exercise but is definitely the most enjoyable because it is so gentle. I can work out hard or not so hard and feel great afterward. I use their MrRebounder® app for motivation and daily workouts. I’ve found that it tones muscles and improves balance. My children always enjoyed bouncing after a stressful day. It improves our sleep and the grandkids are also enjoying it.

The results of Cellercising are 11 times faster than walking, 5 times faster than swimming, and 3 times faster than running.

Sweet Potato Power Burgers

from Hallelujah Acres

This hearty burger is so satisfying and delicious! Make a double batch and freeze some patties - your future self will thank you.

Ingredients

For the patties

1 large sweet potato, baked, peeled, and mashed (about 1.5 cups)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

For the cashew "cheese"

1 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water 30 minutes and drained

1/4 cup water, more as needed

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1 small clove garlic

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon turmeric, for color

To serve

Sprouted-grain or sourdough buns

Butter lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced red onion

Optional: avocado, sprouts, pickled jalapeños

Directions

Make the cashew cheese first. Blend all cheese ingredients on high until completely smooth and silky, scraping down as needed. It should be the texture of a soft spread cheese. Refrigerate while you make the patties.
In a large bowl, mash together the sweet potato and about three-quarters of the black beans — leave some beans whole for texture. Stir in the oats, onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes. The oats absorb moisture and the patties firm up.
Form into 6 patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
Bake on a parchment-lined sheet at 400°F for 25 minutes, flipping once, until firm and lightly crisped on the outside. Or pan-cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Toast the buns. Build the burger: lettuce, patty, generous spread of cashew cheese, tomato, onion, top bun. Eat with both hands.

NOTES FROM THE KITCHEN:

Freeze ahead. Patties freeze beautifully. Form them, freeze on a sheet, then transfer to a bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding 10 minutes to the time.

Beyond the burger. Cashew cheese keeps in the fridge for a week. Use it on baked potatoes, pasta, or as a dip for raw vegetables.
