Keep fit - keep your sight!

At the iMember offices, we love to be healthy and fit. We were delighted to read about an article published in The Journal of Neuroscience stating that the process of macular degeneration (worsening eyesight) could be considerably slowed by moderate exercise.

It is a fascinating article - involving mice running on treadmills having been exposed to bright light known to induce a condition that is similar to macular degeneration. The mice that ran for an hour a day for two weeks had twice the retinal function of the non-running mice.

Before you rush out and buy your running shoes, we suggest you join your local running club or Run England or virtual running club - The Running Bug. You will then find yourself entitled to all sorts of membership benefits and discounts:- money off shoes, kit, sunglasses, massages (you may need these after longer runs!). It's impossible to remember all the benefits you will get just from these few organisations so register (for free) with iMember at www.iMember.co.uk and we will remind you of them all. Plus you can list any other organisations you belong to and we will remind you of all their benefits and discounts too. Furthermore, you can download a free mobile app to your phone and if you are out and about and come within a certain radius of one of your benefits, you will be notified.

It makes sense - there's benefits all round.
