Spine manipulation: multi-faceted therapy can correct back or neck problems

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 01 Oct 2016 20:00:00 +0000

When back or neck pain strikes, many people seek out the help of a chiropractor, osteopathic physician or other practitioner of spinal manipulation therapy (SMT). Indeed, SMT (spinal adjustments) can be very effective in the right patient, especially when done by a specialist who’s skilled in the various types of SMT and uses the treatment in conjunction with other therapies, Cleveland Clinic experts say. “It should be a first line of treatment,” says Andrew Bang, a chiropractor with Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Integrative Medicine. “I hate to hear it when a patient comes to me and says he’s had multiple injections and multiple rounds of physical therapy, and no one’s ever recommended spinal manipulation. I think it’s important to give it a shot.” But understand that although SMT is generally safe, it might not always be the best option for you.

Back in balance
Studies suggest that SMT is as good as medications and other treatments at reducing back or neck pain and improving function. Through the application of varying degrees of force and movements, SAT aims to balance the vertebrae and soft tissues of the back and neck into a normal alignment.
“We’re looking for which particular segment of the spine is out of balance and trying to correct that imbalance,” says Fredrick Wilson, director of the Cleveland Clinics Solon Center for Spine Health. “One vertebra should sit atop of another. When a particular (spinal) segment is out of balance, we apply a corrective force and put the segment back into a neutral position.”
When you think about SMT, the more vigorous high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) type
– the familiar “back cracking”
– probably comes to mind. But HVLA is only one of 10 or more
subtypes of SMT, several of which are much gentler. Some forms of SMT are more suitable for certain patients, and your overall health will determine which, if any, type of SMT is right for you. For instance, Dr. Wilson says SMT can be very effective for mechanical-type back conditions, such as sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a problem that occurs where the sacrum (tailbone) connects to the pelvis.
Conversely, he does not use SMT on patients who may have pain caused by nerve inpingement, and he rarely uses HVLA which has been associated with a very low risk of vascular injury, stroke or death when used in the neck. And, HVLA generally should not be used in osteoporosis patients, for whom gentler forms of SMT are more appropriate.

What to expect
During your first visit, your practitioner should review your medical history and symptoms and perform a physical exam to identify the source of your pain and gauge whether SMT is right for you. The specialist also may order an X-ray or other imaging study Some people with acute back pain of recent onset can be corrected and gain relief immediately after one visit. For others with more chronic pain, multiple visits may be necessary. For most people SMT is safe, although you might be sore for a day or two after your first few treatments. How frequently you need to undergo follow-up SMT sessions varies by practitioner and patient. Dr. Bang and Dr. Wilson suggest trying SMT for a few weeks, and if you fail to gain sufficient benefit, consider moving on to other treatments. Both re

commend against agreeing to multiple SMT sessions over a prolonged period. “I tell patients, especially if they’ve had chronic back pain, that we’re going to go with four visits,” Dr. Wilson explains. “If you’re not responding after four visits, there’s something else going on or the manipulation just isn’t going to work, and you have to go in a different direction.”

Help your spine
As with any treatment for back or neck pain, the amount of relief you gain from SMT depends largely on factors beyond the treatment itself, such as how you care for and support your spine. Smoking, for e.g., restricts blood flow to vital parts of the spine. Sitting for longer periods can not only trigger back pain but also cause long term structural damage to the spine. Try to get up and walk around/stretch every 45 minutes. Other culprits that mess up the spinal alignment are bean bags, high heels, and bad posture.

What you can do
Consider trying spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) in conjunction with physiotherapy, ice, moist heat, pain medications and other conservative treatments for back or neck pain.
Choose an SMT practitioner who is qualified to offer multiple forms of SMT and carefully reviews your medical history to determine which form of SMT, if any, is right for you. Before starting treatment, tell the specialist about any medical problems you might have.
Work with your practitioner to correct any habits (e.g., sleeping, sitting ) that may contribute to your back or neck pain.
If you fail to gain relief from SMT after two to four weeks or about four treatment sessions, consider another treatment for your back or neck pain

7 simple tips to sleep better

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 01 Oct 2016 15:31:00 +0000

You went to bed at a reasonable hour, you do not drink stimulants, you shut your screens 30 minutes earlier, you are not too hot, not too cold, the humidity of the room is perfect, your children make their nights and your spouse does not snore ... But you do not sleep.

to sleep better.

1-Adopt regular schedules:
Our bodies like to have small routines. It helps to find a rhythm and stabilize. Any program of change can be both dynamising, but also disrupt our internal clock.
even if you do not close the eye the minute you lie, establish a time you're in bed and you read, listen to music or talk to your partner can only be beneficial.

2-Waking up gradually:
How do you sleep well if the alarm is a test? Nobody likes when her alarm rings, but you can choose to live better this crucial stage of your day.
Our 4 tips to better wake up for better sleep afterwards:

❖ choose a musical and not too strong revival;

❖ take the time to stretch extensively;

❖ take a good breakfast, not too rich to not launch a digestion process that will tire in the early hours of the day!

3-Take a nap to recover:

After lunch, especially if the night was short, it is not uncommon to nosedive. At the office, not to lie down or sleep discretely..

Still, close your eyes a while to recharge your batteries for the rest of the afternoon. In addition, nap keeps the body in good shape and at night, falling asleep will not be waiting.

Sitting at your workstation, when you feel the first effects of fatigue after the lunch break:

❖Allow yourself a few minutes of rest before the official resumption.

❖ Put your head in your hands and close your eyes.

❖Stay 5 to 20 minutes thinking of a quiet, cool place.

❖Raise the head gently stretch your neck and drink a glass of water.

4-light dinner to sleep deeply!

❖Privilege the carbohydrates (rice, pasta) that are digested slowly overnight.

❖Eat at least 2 hours before bed (not digest elongate).

❖Avoid fat and alcohol.

❖If you take a hot drink, opt for a decaffeinated or herbal tea.

5-Read rather than watch TV

The screens (TV, consoles, PC) are stimulants that will not help you sleep. Half an hour before bedtime, you have to prepare a quiet and relaxing environment. Switch off tablet computer and smartphone, choose a novel or a comic book and find the pleasure of reading in bed!

The ideal climate for reading a book under the duvet:

❖A temperature close to 17 ° C;

❖The window closed to prevent outside disturbances;

❖Plush pillows behind the head, the feet warm.

6-Regular physical activity:

to sleep well, you have to sweat! Regular physical activity, whatever the time of day, but especially at night, helps calm the body. Not only sport promotes sleep, but it improves the physical and mental abilities during the day.

❖When we do sport, the body stimulates hormones, such as adrenaline.

❖These hormones warm the body by burning energy.

❖After sport, a cool shower, breathing exercises and stretches bring down the temperature.

❖The body is completely relaxed and ready for a long and restful sleep.

Importance of a good sleep and mattress for overall health

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 16:45:00 +0000

No matter what your age, sleeping well is essential to your physical health and emotional well-being. For seniors, quality sleep is particularly essential due to its impact on concentration, memory and
its restorative qualities. Sleep can help the body try to mend cell damage that occurred during the day and it can refresh the immune system, which helps prevent disease and infection.

Along with good nutrition and exercise, sleep is now recognized as an important coniributor to good health. Lack of sleep and poor qualiy sleep connibute to depression, poor concentration. high blood pressure, and heart disease. Many health practitioners consider sleep to be a barometer of a person's health. like taking one's temperature. Seniors and their adult caregivers that do not get quality sleep are more likely to have an increased chance of depression. memory problems, faulty Judgment and excessive drowsiness.
They are also more likely to suffer falls, have a lower pain threshold and use more prescription or over-dwe-counter sleep aids. Insufficient sleep can also lead to on increased risk of restless leg syndrome, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, weight problems and breast cancer in women.

Sleep is particularly important for women. Some chronic conditions affecting sleep are more common in women, including osteoarthritis, fibromualgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.when combined with hormonal changes from the child rearing process and menopause (after which the rates of sleep apnea in women triple), women deal with added challenges to attain quality sleep.

It is also associated with mental illness, road deaths, and reduced productivity costing an unacceptably high volume of expenses to the economy. Research shows that around 1 in 3 people suffer from poor qualitu sleep and one important factor that contributes to a good night's sleep is the right mattress. Considering we spend around one third of our life in bed it is worth doing some research into getting it right. The right mattress needs to be comfortable whist still being firm enough to provide good postural alignment. Its length should be at least 15cm longer than the tallest person using the bed. This means that you need to try the mattress in store and it Is important that both you and grow partner are content that the mattess provides comfort and support. This may be problematic for some couples who vary significantly in weight. Some mattess models come with differing comfort Iayers on each side of the bed and this may be a viable option for such couples.

The most common mistakes people make when choosing a mattress?

Don't test the mattresses at the end of a day's shopping — everything will feel comfortable!

when testing lhe mattress try rolling over. If it is difficult to turn it may be too soft, if uncomfortable on the hips or shoulders it maybe too firm.

Things to consider when buying a mattress:

your sleep position is also important when choosing your mattress.

- Firm mattress tops are best suited if you sleep mostly on your back or stomach. giving you the proper comfort and support.

- Plush layers work best for helping sooth pressure points throughout your body as you sleep.

- Pillowtop mattress layers are constructed of material soft enough to let your body sink in and are particularly suited to side sleepers Make sure me base you have at home is similar to the base in the display room, as a mattesscan feel very different on another base .

How much sleep do we really need ??

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 23:03:00 +0000

Most of us sleep approximately one-third of our lives. Do we really have to sleep so long? We rarely
encounter people who sleep much less time in our environment. Is it possible to shorten our sleep?
What kinds of problems we encounter if we sleep a shorter period of time?
The researches conducted In recent years made it possible to answer menu of the questions above. lthough sleep duration varies from person to person; it is known That this period vary from 4 hours to 11 hours. Sleep duration varies from person to person with the influence of genetic factors. Except certain limits, it is not possible to change this duration determined when we were born. when we have to shorten the time, we are faced with unwanted symptoms arisen from sleep deprivation.
The best evidence indicating the presence of genetic transmission is determining that identical twins have exactly the same sleep duration.

As a result of the researches it is known that the vast majority of the population in USA (75%) has a habit of sleeping for 7-8 hours. You hear very often from the press that Some of the famous people sleep very short time. Some of them. for example Napoleon. Churchill was recorded in the history books with their short sleep duration. There are not too many people whose functions do not change the following day after they sleep short time. It is know that; only 10% of population in USA sleeps less than 6 hours. when we talk about short time sleepers, we should exclude the persons who sleep less than 6 hours at weekdays while they extend their sleep time up to 8-10 hours at weekends.

Persons who sleep more than 8 hours are seen more often than short sleepers in the society and their ratio is as high as 15%. Sleep structures of short time sleepers and long time sleepers are different from each other.

Short time sleepers sleep a kind of sleep which is consisted of more
Intensely slow, deep sleep and REM sleep phases. The number of night being awake and the 2nd phase rate is decreased in these persons. Therefore. it can be said that; they sleep a short-term but moreefficient sleep. Long time sleepers sleep deep slowed sleep which is called real sleep.

Long sleepers, people who need more time to work, usually intend to shorten their sleep duration. However, it is not possible to shorten sleep duration under a certain ratio. In a study conducted with university students, it was not possible to shorten their sleep duration in a short time of period. The following day after the study, It was detected in some complaints of study subjects such as tiredness, fatigue, difficulty in concentration and memory disorders. The participants of study had fallen asleep at inappropriate time because they could not resist against their sleep necessity. However, another study proven that; sleep duration can be reduced in a long time of period, without exceeding 1-2; and this reduction do not cause any damage on the performance of study participants. It should be remembered that; this study was conducted with young participants. It is encountered various symptoms an child and elderly people as a result of any reduction in their sleep duration.

Whey protein: some facts you need to know

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 22:28:00 +0000

Among the dairy proteins, whey protein has recently received much attention from the scientific community due to its positive effects on health. Whey protein has been associated with increased muscle protein synthesis, satiety, and weight management. This dairy protein is available in several different forms, including whey powder, whey protein concentrates, whey protein isolates, reducedlactose whey, and demineralized whey. Whey protein is a highquality complete protein that is easily digestible. Complete proteins contain all of the essential amino acids that the body requires to build proteins. Essential amino acids are important because they can not be synthesized from the amino acids that are already present in the body and therefore must be consumed in the diet. Whey proteins are also a rich source of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), which are a subgroup of the essential amino acids. The BCAAs include valine, leucine, and isoleucine, and can be used as an energy source in skeletal muscle and also contribute to the synthesis of new muscle tissue. Among the BCAAs, leucine is unique, as it has been shown to be an independent stimulator of skeletal muscle protein synthesis through the regulation of gene expression The amino acid profile of whey protein in comparison with other protein sources demonstrates why it is a great protein source for individuals to include in their diet. Other protein sources, for example most vegetable proteins, are not complete proteins because they do not contain all of the essential amino acids. In some cases, these foods must be consumed with another protein source in order for an individual to get all of the essential amino acids. The BCAA content of whey protein is greater than other protein sources, with whey protein isolate, egg protein, soy protein isolate, and wheat protein having BCAA contents of 26, 20, and 15% respectively. Leucine content also varies across the different protein sources, with whey protein isolate, egg protein, soy protein isolate, and wheat protein containing 14, 8.5, 8, and 7%, respectively. The high content of BCAAs, and more specifically leucine, supports the inclusion of whey protein in the diet. Consumption of whey protein increases protein synthesis, which over time can lead to the production of new muscle tissue. When routine consumption of whey protein is combined with a long-term resistance-training programme in young adults, an increase in muscle can occur, which may improve body composition. For example, one study found that supplementation with 1.2 g of whey protein per kg of body weight 9g/kg BW) in combination with resistance exercise resulted in a greater increase in lean muscle mass than supplementation with an isocaloric carbohydrate beverage. Current research supports a combination of protein intake and resistance exercise over a carbohydrate beverage and/or resistance exercise for a more effective increase in lean muscle tissue.

Not just for exercisers:

The issue of muscle loss with aging, referred to as sarcopenia, is becoming an important public health concern. Maintenance of muscle mass through increased protein levels in elderly adults could extend functional capacity, independence, and quality of life. Emerging research, particularly in individuals around the age of 40, where the decline in muscle mass becomes more pronounced, show that individuals throughout their lifespan can benefit from a long-term increase in muscle protein synthesis. The concept of satiety, defined as the feeling of fullness after eating, and its implications on weight management have received a lot of attention from the scientific community. It has been postulated that dietary protein may have a positive role in stimulating satiety, and research suggests that protein is more satiating than carbohydrate or fat. Studies have documented this either in the context of a single meal, or the overall diet (i.e. subjective ratings of fullness and free-access feeding energy intake after a test meal). Research on middleaged women who exercised also suggests that higher-protein diets compared with adequate-protein diets with equal amounts of caloric restriction may contribute to weight management by improving the quality of weight loss through preservation of lean body mass and decreasing fat mass. Further, there was a trend for a greater preservation of lean mass with the higher-protein group. This research supports evidence suggesting that protein is more satiating than other macronutrients and that the satiating effects of a longer-term, higher-protein diet may eventually lead to a reduction in body fat, thus playing a role in weight management. Scientists are continually working to investigate additional potential health benefits of whey protein. In addition to improvements in muscle mass
and body composition, and contributions to satiety, preliminary evidence has also suggested a benefit of whey consumption on blood pressure, immune function, and inflammation. The scientific evidence supporting whey’s role in health is still emerging and will continue to expand. Whey protein concentrate is included in a variety of food and beverage products, including confectionaries, soups, snack foods, clinical nutrition mixtures, and infant formulas. Additionally, whey protein isolates are used in sports beverages and powdered beverages. Although whey protein isolate contains a greater amount of protein (90%) than whey protein concentrate (35-80%), few studies distinguish the health benefits of each form to provide rationale for use of one form over the other. The use of whey protein concentrate instead of whey protein isolate may be due to practically and control of functional properties as a greater amount of whey protein concentrate will be needed to match the amount of protein provided by whey protein isolate.

The benefits of soy probably have not heard of before

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 21:38:00 +0000

Soya foods, from soya milk to tofu, are often touted for their health benefits. But if you add soya to your diet, be mindful about what you are pushing off the plate. “If you ask if a food is healthy, my general answer is always, ‘Compared to what?’” says Dr Meir Stampfer, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health. “I would not necessarily recommend eating more soya if your baseline diet is already healthy.”

Soya for general nutrition:

Soya foods are made from the soya plant, which is a legume that produces pods containing soyabeans. Soyabeans are rich in protein, polyunsaturated fats, fibre, vitamins and minerals. A single cup provides 28 grams of protein – more than onethird of the daily amount required by an active 180-pound man. The most easily obtained soya foods in grocery stores include whole green soyabean pods (edamame), dry or cooked soyabeans, dryroasted soya nuts, soya milk, tempeh and tofu. Soya’s place in your diet Soya foods are nutritious, but you also have to think about what you are replacing with the soya. The calories that most people consume daily usually remain constant unless they are trying to lose weight orbecome more physically active and need more fuel. That means if you add soya to meals, you will tend to eat less of other things. If you eat soya instead of less healthy foods, the nutritional scales tip in your favour. “The worse your general diet, the better soya is going to look,” Dr Stampfer says. “If you eat soya instead of red meat and refined carbohydrate, that’s probably going to be a plus.” For example, a potentially healthy soya substitution would be a stir-fry with tofu instead of meat stroganoff, or soyabean soup as a side dish instead of a baked potato. However, if your overall diet is already healthy, substituting soya foods might make no real difference in diet quality or could degrade it.

Soya for men’s health:

You may have heard that soya is good for your heart or prevents prostate cancer, but these claims are either unproven or come with some

important caveats. Heart health Preliminary studies suggest that eating 50 grams of soya protein per day reduced ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol – but only by 3 %. You would need to eat more than a pound of tofu per day to get those 50 grams of soya protein. It’s a lot of effort for such a small impact on cardiovascular risk. Prostate cancer So far, studies conducted to find hard proof of soya’s anti-cancer effects have produced mixed results. The evidence for soyabased dietary supplements is also weak. “It’s not that these benefits are disproven,” Dr Stampfer says. “It’s just that we don’t have enough evidence to recommend it with confidence.”

Soyful!

A Chinese study suggests that eating soya products such as soya milk and tofu may also extend your life if you have lung cancer. Researchers believe that soya may have an effect on cancer cells because soya products contain isoflavones, such as genistein, daidzein and glycetein. These proteins are phytoestrogens, plant compounds that have some of the same biologic activity as female hormones. But because the estrogen effect of soya isoflavones is weaker, researchers suggest that soya estrogens may actually offer some protection against cancers that would prefer a stronger estrogen presence. The study states that soya isoflavones inhibit growth of non-small cell lung cancer, decrease tumor development, and increase apoptosis (cell self-destruction), which would be beneficial to lengthening survival after cancer diagnosis. While soya products such as tofu aren’t as common in the Indian diet as they are in Chinese and Japanese cuisine, soya is finding its way into more and more products, in the form of soya isoflavones, soya protein, soya isolates, and soya lecithin as an emulsifier. The least processed forms of soya are edamame, soya nuts, soyabeans, tofu, or soya milk. Another good way is to try soya yogurt or soya milk. Soya in moderation is a healthy alternative to meat. It’s got all essential amino acids in it, and is a high-quality complete protein, but a nonanimal source.

Try some soya: Here is how...

❖ Eat edamame, boiled, steamed or microwaved, and lightly salted as a snack or side dish.

❖ Use soya in main dishes, like chilli or vegetable soups and stews, or tossed cold into salads.

❖ Substitute soya milk for cow’s milk at breakfast, for making smoothies, and for baking.

❖ Eat it as a snack or use in granola, baked goods, or salads. (Watch the sodium level in salted versions).

❖ Marinate and grill; slice or crumble soya into stirfries, casseroles, salads, sandwiches, and stews.

❖ Dice it into stir-fries, salads, or entrees, or bake and slice into sandwiches or salads.

5 Wrong eating habits

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 20:30:00 +0000

The older we get, the less balanced and more haphazard our eating habits can become. Sometimes we go to extremes to lose weight; sometimes we become almost addicted to certain foods, especially sweet and fatty ones; sometimes we lose interest in cooking and preparing meals. If any of those things sound familiar, maybe it’s time to tweak your diet.

Here are the five bad food habits to avoid:

1-Eating the same way you did, 20 years ago: Calorie requirements drop as we get older. With a lower calorie requirement, there is less room for extra such as sweets and high-fat foods. Nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein sources like fish or skinless chicken breast deliver maximum nutritional bang for the buck.

2-Underestimating the nutritional value of frozen foods: Fill your freezer with vegetables, fruits, and a few frozen entrees instead of Haagen-Dazs. Frozen vegetables without sauces and frozen fruits without sweeteners are just as healthy as fresh, and may be more convenient. Frozen meals can be healthy if they are balanced and not too high in sodium – a dinner with a chicken or fish entrée and a vegetable side dish, for example. In fact, frozen food can be a good choice for those times when you don’t feel like cooking and are tempted to reach for cookies or cake because they’re easy as well as tasty. Rounding the meal out with another serving of vegetables or a salad, and some fruit for dessert is a great idea.

3-Fasting or skipping meals:If you do it to lose weight, it can backfire because you’ll be so hungry by
the next mealtime that you’ll consume more calories than you would have if you’d eaten normally.

4-Following fad diets or believing nutrition myths: There’s no good scientific evidence backing nutrition
regimens based on combining foods, omitting certain food groups, or eating only at certain times of the day. Diets like these don’t promote lasting weight loss and won’t improve your health.

5-Not keeping healthy snacks on hand: You don’t have to be a registered dietitian to realize that a freezer full of icecream, combined with an empty vegetable bin and nothing but hot dogs in the meat compartment, is not conducive to healthy eating.

WHAT YOU CAN DO :
■ Rebalance the contents of your freezer: ¾ vegetables and unsweetened fruits, ¼ dessert items.
■ If you’re an ice-cream fiend, try frozen yoghurt or ice-cream sweetened naturally.
■ Try to eat on schedule – breakfast, lunch and dinner, with small, healthy snacks in between. A few almonds or a carrot makes a good snack. A stack of cookies or a bowl of chips… not so good.
■ Avoid eating late at night – it’s bad for digestion, increases fat and disturbs sleep.
■ If you can, spend mealtimes with others, whether sharing cooking chores or eating out, to avoid binges and ‘lone wolf’ eating habits.

Childhood Obesity: from Fat to Fit

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 22 Sep 2016 22:03:00 +0000

Obesity is one term we hear every now and then. The WHO (World Health Organization) defines obesity as: “Abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk
to health.” In simple words, obesity is the state of being grossly fat or overweight. It is often associated with
developed nations. Consumption of canned food, sodas, burgers or pizzas, spending a lot of time
indoors playing games on phones and iPads and generally living an unhealthy lifestyle are the reasons behind it. However, what we often tend to ignore is that obesity is as much prevalent in India as it is in the US. A recent Annual Health and Fitness survey conducted by EduSports (a school
sports organisation) across 245 schools in 87 cities and 26 states in India revealed alarming results. According to the survey, every two in five kids in the age group of 7-17 years did not have a healthy BMI.

Childhood Obesity – Reason To Worry: A basic question to ask is: Why is there so much debate around obesity? What does it do? Obesity has both immediate and longterm effects.

Obese children have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and cholesterol.
They are more likely to have diabetes, and are at a greater risk of bone and joint problems.
Children, who are obese, are likely to become obese as adults, and are at a greater risk of heart stroke, diabetes and several types of cancers.
Diseases associated with obesity can ultimately lead to mortality.
There is a social aspect to obesity as well. Obese children tend to have low self-esteem and hence face problems in social gatherings, making friends and meeting new people. This can also lead to depression.

Causes: The second question that comes to mind is: What are the causes of obesity? Well, we are well acquainted with the unhealthy food habits of children these days.

Children consume foods high in fat and sugar.
Lack of physical activity contributes to obesity.
They spend a lot of time in front of the television, playing video games or talking over the phone.
They hardly go out and play any sports.

Solution: So how do we solve this epidemic named childhood obesity? Healthy dietary and lifestyle habits can help fight obesity. But regular physical activity will go a long way in tackling the problem because obesity is basically the result of ‘caloric imbalance’ - few calories expended for the amount of calories consumed. So it is important to provide children exposure to physical activities early on in life. But children, these days, want choices! They want the ability to select activities that make them feel good about themselves, can be implemented easily, and are appealing. Most importantly, they crave activities in which they feel competent. However, all kids cannot be expected to indulge in the same kind of physical activities. Their stamina, strength, body mass are all different. Hence, kids belonging to different age groups should participate in distinct physical activities.

Toddlers in the age group of two-five years are beginning to master many basic movements, so unstructured free play is usually best for them. They could be encouraged to run, tumble, catch and throw. As kids get older, their vision, attention spans and transitional skills improve, and they’re in a better position to follow directions.

For 6-8 year olds, the focus should be on making activities fun for them. At this age, kids are learning basic physical skills like jumping, throwing, kicking. They also begin to show natural preferences for certain sports or activities. This could be a starting point in involving kids in the sport of their choice. Another consideration is mental pressure. Younger kids are not really ready for the pressure of competition, nor can they grasp complex strategies. So kids should be carefully enrolled in team activities where there isn’t much pressure. If this is done in a correct fashion, team sports can teach kids a lot about teamwork and good sportsmanship. 9-12 year olds are more coordinated. They usually have mastered basic skills and can start enjoying sports that require more coordination and focus. They are also in a better position to understand the rules. But at this stage, parents need to teach kids how to handle losses and to enjoy the real spirit of sportsmanship. Another consideration is enjoyment. If a kid does not seem to enjoy a sport, it’s time to switch. Children in this age group have mature vision and the ability to understand and recall sports’ strategies. These children are typically ready to take on complex skill sports, such as football, basketball, hockey and volleyball. We are Westernizing at such a fast pace that it’s hard to completely avoid junk food. However, what we can do is, make sure that our kids indulge in physical activities to help remove the ‘un’ from the ‘unhealthy’.

7 Tips To Gain Muscle Fast

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 11 Sep 2016 01:32:00 +0000

If you want to gain muscle fast, you came to the right place. rapid weight gain is reduced to using your brain more than his biceps. So let's get down to it.

Tip: No.1

Follow good bodybuilding training routine.

This may be the first obvious advice, but I do not mean not just some of the workouts randomly thrown together. I mean do a full routine with a different strength and phases of building mass. Adapted to complete each stage of development.

Tip: # 2

Use compound movements

A good bodybuilding training routine should have included, but it is important to know if it does. big compound movements like squats, deadlifts, rows and help the bank to gain muscle fast. These movements increase natural testosterone levels. It also will force your body to pack on muscle quickly because they are so metabolically demanding on the body.

Tip: # 3

Eat lots of muscle building foods

In other words, if you do not eat, you do not grow. Your body needs nutrients first to actually build muscle mass. It's like trying to build a brick wall without, it is not going to happen.

Tip: No.4

Other periods of heavy work and volume

It has been shown that periods of lifting heavy weights to the alternating force. With training volume it is ideal for fast muscle mass building. Due to the nature of the formation, force is increased, while the other more muscle is based on the basis of strength gained. And vice versa.

Tip: # 5

Try Creatine

Creatine is a proven time and muscle building, which has been proven safe supplement. You can improve your workouts instantly, especially if you've never used before.

Tip: No. 6

Use the perfect way

When weight lifting, it is important to use the right way. This means using the correct weight so you can not be up and rocking about. The important part is to work the muscle and create tension. Your body does not know how much weight the bar after all.

Tip: # 7

Use a slow eccentric and concentric movement during rapid weight lifting

The concentric portion of a lift is the most difficult part when lifting a weight. Make explosive and fast as possible; no longer work (and larger) of muscle fibers. The eccentric portion of the lift is the easiest part when the weight is lowered. Make slow and take about 4 seconds to lower; this will cause more damage to the muscle and create more time. This makes a bigger muscle.

Cancer Survivor : improve survival and help prevent recurrence or the development of a second primary cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 11 Sep 2016 01:29:00 +0000

If you’re a cancer survivor, you know that completing your treatments was just one step in your cancer journey. Transitioning to recovery brings with it, its own set of challenges. One of them being a nagging worry that your cancer may return. Compelling new evidence suggests that as a cancer survivor, you

can play an active role in preventing recurrence and improving your long-term survival. Until now, much of the health advice dispersed by doctors followed conventional wisdom but wasn’t supported

by evidence-based data. The American Cancer Society (ACS), for the first

time, is issuing formal Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidelines for cancer survivors. The guidelines, backed by years of resea

rch, advise how to improve survival and help prevent recurrence or the development of a second primary cancer. Among the ACS’s recommendations:

Limit red meat and added sugar: In one study, colon cancer survivors who consumed a high intake of red meat and sugar had a decreased rate of overall survival from cancer and other conditions. And, although studies haven’t tied high intake of sugar to cancer recurrence, try to stay away from it – foods high in added sugar, tend to have little dietary value and contribute to unwanted weight gain .

Eat a healthy diet and fill your plate with a large variety of whole grains and colorful fruits and vegetables: Studies have associated a high intake of vegetables, fruits and whole grains with a decreased rate of cancer recurrence. They also suggest that a wide variety of healthful foods confer more benefit than a few specific foods. Aim for two to three cups of vegetables and one to two cups of fruit daily.

Avoid dietary supplements when possible: No study has shown that a supplement helps protect against future cancers or improves long-term survival. Some suggest dietary supplements may do more harm than good. Unless your doctor specifically recommends a supplement because you have a deficiency, try to get your nutrients from food sources instead.

Be physically active: Studies of people with breast, colorectal, prostate and ovarian cancers consistently point to an association between regular exercise and decreased risk of cancer recurrence and improved overall survival. Active survivors benefit from improved heart and lung function, muscle strength, balance, mood, energy, self-esteem and quality of life. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity (brisk walking, light gardening, water aerobics) or 75 minutes of vigorous activity (jogging, heavy gardening like hoeing or digging, fast swimming) a week. Devote at least two exercise sessions to strength training. Begin activity as soon as possible after diagnosis or treatment. If you have limited mobility, try to avoid long periods of inactivity. At the least, try to move around in three 10-minute increments each day. You don’t need to join a gym to be active; simple power-walking with a friend will do.

Achieve and maintain a healthy weight: Obesity is a major risk factor for many cancers. If you’re overweight or obese, it’s essential that you lose weight. Increasing evidence shows that excessive weight is a good indicator of cancer recurrence or poor overall survival outlook. Some cancers or treatment may cause too much weight loss, resulting in the risk of malnutrition or other complications. Work closely with your dietitian to ensure you’re getting essential nutrients. Don’t give up physical activity – you need strong muscles and exercise’s cardiopulmonary benefits – but avoid vigorous workouts that burn lots of calories.

Your health focus shouldn’t be on cancer alone: Cancer survivors are at an increased risk of developing chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes or osteoporosis – in fact, almost half of all cancer survivors die from another condition. Following the ACS guidelines can help keep other types of cancers and diseases at bay. Encourage your family members to follow these guidelines, too. People whose family members have cancer run a higher risk of developing the disease. You’re setting a good example for future generations by promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours that improve your survivorship status while reducing your loved ones’ risk of getting cancer one day.

The benefits of physical activity that gives you good health and strong muscles. They can strengthen the heart, and lift the spirit

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 11 Sep 2016 00:15:00 +0000

The benefits of exercice are usually measured in terms of strong muscles and improved cardiovascular fitness. But recent research suggests that even simple at home exercises can do wonders for your mental and emotional outlook. Researchers found that at home exercises can help people with coronary heart disease feel more hopeful about their future. This is especially important, as hopelessness is associated with worsening heart disease and death. The study was presented at the American Heart Association’s scientific sessions. The benefits of exercise include the natural boost in ‘feel-good’ chemicals in the brain, increased energy and fitness, and the sense that you are taking control of your health, says Leslie Cho, MD, co-section head of Preventive Cardiology and Rehabilitation at Cleveland Clinic. “Exercise increases the body’s natural mood enhancers, which help patients,” Dr Cho says. “But most of all, it helps with theoverall sense of well-being.”

Physical and mental health : depression and anxiety following a diagnosis of heart disease or a procedure such as stenting or bypass surgery. Researchers noted that there has been considerable research linking hopelessness and depression with poor outcomes for heart patients. But because there has been relatively little research on ways to eliminate hopeless feelings, the researchers set out to
measure the emotional benefits of home-based exercise and cardiac rehab. “An integral part of cardiac rehab is stress and depression management,” Dr Cho says. “Some programmes teach meditation and how to do behaviour modification.” Interestingly, while hospital-based cardiac rehab led to numerous health improvements, researchers found that a home-based exercise programme appeared
to do a better job at relieving feelings of hopelessness. The researchers suggest that this may be due to the initiative and self-discipline required to exercise on your own. Heart patients who were motivated enough to walk or bike outside of a formal rehab programme may have been more inclined to take control of their health. Researchers suggest that a patient’s level of hopelessness and overall mental health be evaluated before he or she is discharged from a hospital. Patients who appear to be moderately or severely depressed may need special encouragement to participate in cardiac rehab as well as homebased exercise. Because of their depressed or hopeless mood, these people may be the most likely to avoid exercise, though they could actually benefit the most from more physical activity. In addition, the researchers found that people who are severely hopeless following a heart attack or heart disease diagnosis may be hopeless in other areas of their lives and may often benefit from mental health therapy.

How much exercise is needed? In the study, patients who walked or biked at least three days a week reduced their hopelessness scores (as measured by questionnaires created by the researchers) by an average of 12%. The idea that just a little exercise can afford you noticeable benefits was also underscored in a separate research published recently in BMJ. Researchers found that while the standard goal of exercising at least 150 minutes a week is still ideal, even small amounts of physical activity each day may actually lead to a lower mortality risk. The researchers reported that many sedentary or older adults find that recommendations to exercise 30 to 40 minutes most days of the week make them feel as though they are “being pushed too hard.” And rather than work up to exercising at least 150 minutes a week, many adults instead don’t exercise at all. A better strategy, the researchers found, is to
encourage adults to increase their activity levels a little every day. Small incremental
increases in exercise can be promoted in a slowly progressive manner. The researchers insist that at least 30 minutes of daily exercise is a good target, but that the more important message is that some exercise is better than no exercise. They also note that the old adage, “It’s never too late to start,” holds true for exercise. If you’ve been sedentary for years, you can still reap benefits from even a little more exercise every day. The researchers also found that once people started exercising more, they wanted to do more on their own. Many people find that increases in energy, better sleep, weight loss and the other positive benefits that come from exercise are incentives to increase their activity levels.
