Wayne Purcell gained his early professional experience as a manufacturing engineer, working with race teams at the Indianapolis 500 on composite materials to improve the aerodynamics of Indy cars. Today, he heads a company making an innovative insole he designed to improve the dynamics of the human foot in motion. As president of AIRfeet insoles, Purcell has expanded the company’s markets to marathon runners, industrial workers, firefighters and other first responders, Air Force and Army members, and people with ailments ranging from neuropathy and plantar fasciitis to diabetes. Purcell claims the impact of the insoles is life-changing.
At regional and national trade shows we attend with AIRfeet, Wayne doesn’t draw crowds quite as big as Indy 500 ones, but his floor-mounted demo platform never fails to attract a steady stream of interested visitors. Those who rock back and forth on the platform’s two stationary AIRfeet insoles experience the same sensation as if they were wearing them. AIRfeet began distributing its insoles to chiropractors after encountering us at a chiropractor meeting in Indiana. “We are extremely committed to chiropractors as a market,” Purcell says. AIRfeet products are offered in about 50 chiropractic clinics nationwide and are expanding rapidly.
BLACK TEA If you want an energy boost, black tea might replace your morning cup of coffee. Robust and flavorful, this variety has high amounts of antioxidants called theaflavins and thearubigins, which support healthy cholesterol levels and the heart. Black tea can also reduce the risk of strokes, lower blood sugar levels, and provide focus without all the jitters. CHAMOMILE TEA Sleep is crucial for your health, and you can sip your way to better z’s with a cup of chamomile tea. This popular drink’s calming effects are thanks to its antioxidant properties — natural stress and inflammation reducers. Along with its well-known calming benefits, chamomile can soothe upset stomachs, protect against certain cancers, strengthen your immune system, and even improve your skin. (That’s what we call beauty sleep in a cup!)
So, whether you’re brewing up energy, relaxation, or a health boost, tea has you
covered, one sip at a time. Go ahead and grab your favorite mug, steep your favorite brew, and let the stress melt away!
