Aerobic Fitness And Chiropractic

By Dr. Jason Fowler

When we think of chiropractic treatment we think mostly of chiropractic treatment in terms of lower back pain, neck pain, and headaches. In fact, there are numerous additional wide-ranging benefits to chiropractic health care. Many of these benefits are related to getting more out of our exercise activities.

For example, aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular function.1,2 As a result, during periods of rest the heart rate is slowed and the ability of the lungs to take in air (vital capacity) is increased. A slower heart rate means the heart is working more efficiently. Likewise, increased vital capacity means the lungs are working more efficiently. Fewer heart beats per minute and fewer breaths per minute result in reduced "wear and tear" on these critical systems. Aerobic exercise makes us healthier.

In times of stress, our muscles get tight. Sometimes this tightness is prolonged, and the normal mobility of our bones and joints is compromised. Reduced mobility of the spinal column creates a spiraling effect of tight muscles, tight ligaments, and further loss of mobility in the neck, middle back, and lower back. We experience pain in these areas as a result.3

These patterns may persist. We all know people who have frequent neck pain or lower back pain. These patterns of pain and limited mobility may result in changes to the normal curves of the spine. Normal curves may become flattened. These changes result in further discomfort, muscular tension, and pain.

Importantly, loss of the normal spinal curvature in the neck and middle back may place additional stress on the heart and lungs. The actual physical space in which these organs function may become reduced. Maximum function may be compromised and efficiency is lost. Brisk walking used to be easy. Climbing stairs used to be no problem. Now these normal daily activities may leave you out-of-breath. You're huffing-and-puffing and don't know what has happened.

You begin doing aerobic exercises to try to improve cardiovascular function. But the potential benefits are limited by these underlying muscle, ligament, and joint problems. You spend a lot of time exercising but do not seem to be making any improvements.

Chiropractic health care may be able to restore more normal functioning. Chiropractic treatment restores the mobility to spinal joints. The gentle treatment relieves stress on the spinal muscles and ligaments, which in turn improves spinal range of motion. Muscle tightness eases, pain and stiffness are reduced, and you become more flexible.

In addition, this improved flexibility allows your chest and rib cage to expand much more fully when you breathe. Your heart and lungs have more room to function. You can now actually begin to receive the full benefits of your aerobic exercise.

Chiropractic health care helps you get fit and stay fit!

Foods With Antioxidants Could Lose Nutrition Over Time

By Kirsten Whittaker

If you store drinks or foods with antioxidants for longer than you should they can start to lose their nutritional benefits over time.

One of the studies looked at the compounds within green tea. These compounds are called catechins and are thought to fight off infection, the immune system and even potentially prevent cancer.

Because this type of product remains on the supermarket shelves for a long time, a team from the Western Regional Research Center of the U.S. Department of Agriculture looked to see if the catechins remained stable during long term storage in our cupboards, in restaurants, in warehouses and on store shelves.

There was a reduction in catechin levels even after short term storage, but there was a progressive reduction over time. There was a 32% on average reduction after six months of storage.

Another group of researchers from the University of Foggia in Italy evaluated a few varieties of olive oil that had been produced within a day of the olives being taken from the fields in the Apulia region of Italy. The team ensured the production was consistent across each batch of olive oils.

This oil, if part of your diet, has been shown to be helpful in cutting heart disease risk, the risk of strokes and even potentially cancer. Once Antonella Baiano and her team looked at the antioxidant levels, they remained unchanged for 3 months of storage. But, by the 6-month mark, most of the oils had lost about 40% of their antioxidant properties.

This means that even if the food is stored correctly it can lose its nutritional benefits. So, antioxidants are more fragile than initially thought, and the fresher you eat your food the better.

Choose tinted containers instead of clear ones in the hopes that they provide some protection to the antioxidants from the sun. - 17269

Resveratrol Ultra Answer To Aging

By Alice Drew

When it comes to health and anti-aging, it is hard to find better guidance than that offered by Oprah Winfrey. Several months ago, Oprah invited Dr. Mehmet Oz, a doctor originally from Turkey who specializes in cardiac problems and is known as an expert concerning reducing the problems caused by growing older, to speak on her show. What Dr. Oz presented was resveratrol; a scientific breakthrough in the fight against aging with which we all are forced to struggle.

Fight Toxins, Fight Aging

Oxidants are toxins that attack the body's organs. These toxins are responsible for wrinkles, organ damage, and can even produce cancer. Antioxidants, as the name suggests, are the archenemies of oxidants. They protect the body's organs and cells, particularly its nervous system. Consequently, antioxidants at once destroy toxic oxidants and restore damaged tissue.

Resveratrol and Sirtuins

Resveratrol is one of the most powerful antioxidants discovered to date. How does resveratrol work? This antioxidant activates "Sirtuins," a type of longevity gene capable of both reducing cellular decay and aiding the cells of the body to restore themselves. As a result, a person who takes resveratrol as a dietary supplement can expect to not only feel better on the inside as the health of their internal systems improves, but also to see a marked improvement in the appearance, tone, and coloring of the skin.

There are in fact numerous blessings derived from regularly imbibing resveratrol. This amazing antioxidant is capable of preserving the body's immune system and even aids in the struggle against cancer. If your body is subject to radiation it will help to prevent radiation sickness. In addition, it is extremely beneficial to those of us who need to shed a few pounds.

Still, this is only the tip of the iceberg! Studies concerning resveratrol are still in their infancy, and GlaxoSmithKline has already invested almost a billion dollars to further our knowledge of this seemingly miraculous antioxidant.

A Naturally Occurring Substance

Did you know about resveratrol before you began reading this article? Did you know that you may have already consumed some today? It's true! Used consistently for years and years in Asia as a remedy for a multitude of ailments, "ko-jo-kon," as resveratrol began to be called in 1962, is found in Japanese Knotwood. This Knotwood is so vivacious that it has not only crossed the Pacific, but is known in many parts of the United States as a weed that has the ability to kill and overrun other plants quite quickly. Its capacity to do this is directly correlated to the vast quantities of resveratrol that Knotwood has within itself. In fact, Knotwood contains large enough amounts of resveratrol to be grown for profit by companies that have begun manufacturing resveratrol supplements. Other people simply use it rather than rhubarb in numerous tasty recipes.

Peanuts-ordinary, everyday peanuts, available in bulk at your local grocery store-are another source of resveratrol. Indeed, though they appear to be high in fat, studies show that people who ingest peanuts on a regular basis actually have a lower body fat percentage than the average person.

Do you drink red wine? If so, then you are drinking resveratrol. Back in 1992 scientists discovered that grapevines contained copious amounts of resveratrol. Thus drinking red wine is a heart-healthy choice for many of us. Even so, it's important-given all the benefits that resveratrol has to offer us-to remember that a single dose of a resveratrol supplement contains the equivalent of almost one thousand bottles of red wine! - 17269

Repetitive Stress or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

By Dr. Jason Fowler

You are getting ready to launch your new business. And, being a savvy entrepreneur, you've been spending a lot of time doing research on the Internet. Entering searches, following links, cutting-and-pasting, typing, mouse-clicking, dragging-and-dropping.

By the time you are ready to "go live" youve begun to notice a dull ache in your wrist (the one that does most of the mouse-ing). Theres an annoying tingling sensation in your thumb and the tendons in your forearm hurt whenever you move your fingers.

"Oh, no," you think. "Ive got carpal tunnel syndrome."

However, the news is probably not as bad as that. It is much more likely youve developed repetitive stress syndrome, which can be effectively treated by a chiropractor.

Repetitive stress syndrome is often misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome by family physicians, internists, and even many orthopedists. The doctor thinks, "wrist pain and thumb pain, must be carpal tunnel". This path of least resistance leads to much unnecessary neurologic testing, needless medication, and unwarranted surgeries.

Real carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is actually uncommon, usually associated with pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, or decreased thyroid activity.1,2 Also, the pain is more noticeable at night, rather than during activity. Finally, a quick test for CTS is to place the tips of your thumb and index finger together, forming a circle. Hold the circle closed while another person tries to pry your fingers apart. If your fingers are strong and can keep the circle closed, you probably don't have CTS.

The wrist, tendon, and forearm pain most of us experience after too much time at the computer is due to repetitive stress syndrome (RSS), which is basically, too much of the same activity repeated frequently over too long a time. These new pains can be very uncomfortable and cause significant limitation and frustration.

The primary solution is rest and avoidance of the irritating activities. In practice, rest can mean relative rest.3 One key approach for computer-related repetitive stress is to begin using the opposite hand to do mouse or trackpad activities. This may take a while, but its a highly effective method. And, once your non-dominant hand gets up to speed, you've got two hands that are smart, not only one!

What about chiropractic treatment? Several trouble spots may contribute to RSS, particularly tight shoulder and neck muscles. Your chiropractor will do a complete physical examination and determine the sources of the problem.

Treatment may include gentle chiropractic manipulation to improve the mobility of your neck and remove stress from that area of your spine. Trigger point therapy will relieve pain and relax tight muscular "knots" in your shoulder girdle and forearm.

Treatment combined with relative rest and rehabilitative exercises can likely result in rapid improvement - decreased pain, greater mobility, and a renewed focus on the work you want to get done, rather than the pain that is getting in your way!

Want Bigger Pecs?

By Frank Hommes

No one wants to be a wimpy guy. Even if a guy is in relatively good shape, if he's too skinny and doesn't have any muscle, then he can look just as unappealing as a big fat guy. So what can you do if you want to bulk up without getting fat? Increasing your pecs is one possible solution.

Pecs are the muscles, which are in your upper chest, and making them larger can give a man a broad and deep chested look, similar to what bodybuilders have. Building up your pecs isn't necessarily a simple thing to do, but as long as you approach it the correct way it is possible even for a scrawny guy to get impressive pecs.

When trying to build up pecs, one of the most important things to do is change your diet. A sure way to assist in muscle growth is for a person consume more proteins. There is a wide variety of foods that are rich in protein, including various beans and lean meat.

Protein is essential, because it provides your body necessary nutrients to build muscles effectively. It isn't necessarily how much food you eat that matters, it's which foods you choose that matters more.

Of course, if you're just eating then you'll only gain weight and not muscle. It's very important to build a solid exercise routine that focuses on the pectorals. Bench presses and flys are the best exercises for working this muscle group.

With that said, you should also be working out the rest of the body. If you concentrate on the pecs and nothing else, then you'll wind up looking out of proportion with too much emphasis on the chest area, which probably isn't something that any guy would want, so be sure that you alternate your workout routine and build all your muscles, rather than just the pecs. - 17269

Muscle Building Tips to Get Big Muscles Fast and Easily

By Ricardo d Argence

Big muscles are popular with everyone. And it seems like everyone wants to get them! Certainly the people with big muscles generate lots of positive attention you'd enjoy receiving yourself. But in addition to making you look great, adding muscle mass to your body also helps you to be a healthier person.

By sticking to a muscle building program and a proper diet, you will see results in your muscle building fast. These small gains will hopefully be enough motivation to keep you on track towards your goal. Just don't be fooled into thinking that you do not have to work for your new muscles.

If you really want to develop big muscles, you'll need to maintain your focus. Each aspect of your workout is important, so you can't start skipping anything or get lazy. You need to apply yourself and keep working, but by doing so, you will achieve your goals.

Many new muscle builders want to know the fastest way how to get big muscles. In order to do that, you have to make a serious change to your lifestyle. Following the correct diet and exercise program is how you get big muscles. There are other things that you can do to increase the speed of your muscle development, but at the very least, you should be doing those two.

No matter what you've been told previously, you can achieve increased muscle mass. But it will require your top effort. And purchasing a good muscle building guide that is easy to adhere to and follow is also very beneficial.

Start out using light weights to get yourself pumped. Don't overdo it initially, because you could end up injuring yourself. And always warm up and cool down if you want to develop your muscles to their potential.

Work multiple muscles at the same time-in groups-rather than isolating muscles. Use the shoulder press, squats, push ups, pull ups, and other exercises that will focus on a group of muscles instead of an individual muscle. And be assured-it's normal to be worn out quickly when you first begin your program. It won't be long, though, until your energy grows and you can work out for longer periods of time.

You want to be sure and work all of your body parts at least once a week. You have a positive effect on each section of your body by working multiple muscles at once. Trying to isolate your muscles is not a good idea. You want your body to have a good balance so being sure to cover every section is important.

Resting the muscles is also important to get results. When muscles are stressed, they actually tear and rip-and that's normal and acceptable since your body will actually re-grow them and they'll become stronger and bigger-but they do need a period of rest to recover. You should be sure you rest your muscles adequately, so the best plan is to work out every other day, not every day. Most lifting and exercising routines will be set up accordingly.

A good workout that exercises all muscle groups at least weekly is a good way to get started. If you want to get bigger muscles in certain areas, you can work those muscle groups more frequently during the week, but if you do, be sure you run through at least a minimal workout for all of your muscle groups at the same time. When you focus on exercising and building muscles in your entire body you will get great results. You'll feel better, have better posture, and be better toned in all areas. - 17269

Joint Pain - Do You Know Why?

By Mitchell Tyrell

Joints are the body's natural shock absorbers. Joints, especially the ankles and knees, absorb tons of pressure with every movement we make. Therefore, joint pain is a common ailment, especially in older people. It can also have several causes.

The most common cause of joint pain is osteoarthritis. This particular disease eventually affects everybody, but to varying degrees. However, this illness affects more women over the age of 55. Osteoarthritis is a condition that causes the cartilage in a joint to wear away. Once the cartilage is completely eroded, the bones rub together and often form bony spurs.

An alternative cause of joint pain is injury to the ligaments. Ligaments keep the bones together in a joint. Ligament injuries are classified as either strains or sprains. Strains occur when the ligament is stretched beyond its limits. The stretch causes tears in the fibrous tissue. The ligament will swell causing joint pain. A sprain occurs when the joint is forced into an unnatural position. The ankle is the most common place for a sprain to occur.

Bones are another cause of joint pain. Several things can affect the health of a bone. Fractures and breaks can occur with almost anything depending on the strength of an individual's bones. However, the most common causes of bone damage are falls, accidents and repetitive motion.

Many other causes of joint pain also exist. Tendonitis is caused by the overuse of the tendons. Septic arthritis occurs when a bacterial infection settles in a joint. Also several autoimmune diseases can cause joint pain. Since joint pain has so many causes, you should consult with your doctor if you are experiencing pain in any joints. - 17269

Healthy Diet Tips That Work

By Diane Sharf

First rule: pay attention! Lose weight by first paying attention to the foods you eat eliminating unnecessary fats and sugary foods. Pay attention to the amount of food you eat. Keep your taste buds healthy eating delicious but intelligent choices.

Most easy-to-use weight loss programs use a balanced and flexible diet. Lay the groundwork to, however, first by focusing on losing the first 10 pounds and then shoot for the next 10 pounds.

Top secrets to lose weight suggest you keep track of everything you eat and drink. No need to estimate calories just write down the type of food or beverage and the amount. Cut your fat intake in half, that means half as much margarine or butter on toast, vegetables and your muffin, half the mayonnaise on your sandwich, and half the oil in the pan when you saute foods. You get the idea!

If you're not currently using skim milk, reduce the level of fat content in the milk you use. For example, if you currently use two percent, use only one percent. If you insist on whole milk, try two percent. And drink tea.

You?ll need to curb the sugar treats to three times per week maximum and include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt. Eat at least one meatless lunch and dinner each week to reduce fat, increase fiber, and get yourself into the habit of building meals around whole grains, beans and vegetables.

Pay attention to the fresh fruit you eat. Try for 2 servings of fresh fruit a day by eating what is in season. Drink water instead of sugary fruit juice. Add lemon for some zip. Eat vegetables with lunch and dinner.

Choose one to two servings of foods made from whole grains with every meal. Shut off the TV whenever you eat meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

Chew your calories. Don't consume liquids abounding with calories by drinking them. That means cutting out soda and high-calorie fruit juices and drinking tea or water instead. Plan ahead what you are going to eat. Last-minute planning tends to veer you off your diet. - 17269

Take The Time To Eat Healthy Breakfast Foods

By Jamis Hartley

No matter how rushed you may be, breakfast can still be a part of your day. Using breakfast foods that are easy and fast doesn't mean they can't deliver what your body needs to get a good start in the morning.

The ready made breakfast foods purchased at your local grocer are typically very high in sugar content. It might be fast and it certainly is easy, but it isn't going to last. Our bodies need energy and the sugar we love in the morning is so quickly burned off you will find yourself wanting more before the morning is through.

Gaining the right balance of nutrients and a food that's going to support your efforts all morning can be a challenge. This is especially true if your morning is hurried, as most are. Given the morning tasks that take place every day in households with two workers and young children, getting things together for breakfast may be the last thing you think of in the morning.

It's quite possible to make the task of getting the right level of nutrition out of every morning a very manageable endeavor. By putting forth a little pre-planning effort you can have ready many great options for healthy breakfast foods making the choice of "what's for breakfast" an easy choice. You will no longer have to worry about whether you ate healthy or not. You simply follow your plan.

Thinking of what to eat at the last moment is where you will find yourself making the wrong choice. Many of us wouldn't choose unhealthy foods or even to skip a meal if we had other options available to us. Making those options available is as easy as spending a few minutes on a Sunday afternoon to prepare a meal plan. You will likely be able to make the morning less stressful and consume much healthier breakfast foods if you do a little preparation.

It can be very helpful at this pre-planning time to ask the kids or other members of the family what they might like to have for breakfast. Helping them choose a healthy lifestyle is much easier taught during the low stress times on a comfortable couch with no deadlines than in the middle of chaos in the morning. After all, healthy living is a family matter.

By getting the family involved at the early stages you will find it a lot less stressful in convincing them to eat what's on their plate. Choosing healthy breakfast foods together and possibly even preparing the meals together, will greatly increase your chances of them learning a healthy lifestyle that will stick with them for years to come.

The weekend is a great time when the mornings are a little less hurried. So, why not add an extra dozen muffins to the oven and wrap them for Monday and Tuesday? When the evening meal rolls around and you're making that delicious coffee cake for dessert, make it from whole wheat flour and make two. Two pans don't take any longer to mix up than one, and offer you a good choice of breakfast foods for the weekdays when time is at a premium.

Make healthy breakfast foods a priority. Do a little planning and preparing ahead of time. Avoiding the fast and easy high sugar stuff will provide a lot more lasting energy. Seek after whole grains that enter the system a lot slower helping you to maintain your energy longer. It shouldn't take long for you to master a plan that will come naturally and help you and your family live a healthy lifestyle. - 17269

Abs Exercises

By James Statham

Are you looking for some abs exercises that actually give yout the results you want? Well in this article, I will be revealing to you exactly what exercises have been proven to work, and what exercises have been over-hyped and are massively ineffective. Not only this, but I will be telling you on what foods you need to be avoiding if you want to get ripped, and what foods that you need to be eating. So what exercises should you avoid?

Now I'm sure you've come across many of the traditional abs exercises, that people like to think are the best way to get ripped. Well I've got news for you, they suck! People seem to think that because you're specifically targeting your abs, you'll see quick results in that area. The two things you need to do, to get a visible six pack, is raise your metabolism and lower body fat levels. Crunches are not a good exercise, because they do neither of these two things. Now I'm going to tell you the exercises you should be doing.

The best abs exercises are those that are of high intensity, and target lots of different muscle groups. Most bodybuilders like to use machines to target specific muscle groups. When you want to burn fat quickly though, you need to use free weights which will use other muscles to help stabilize yourself. So not only will your abs get stronger, but your body will become leaner all over! Your metabolism will begin to rise, and that makes it far easier to burn fat from all areas of your body!

One of my favourite abs exercises is the good, old fashioned pull up. I love this exercise, because all you need is a bar to pull yourself up with! Just pull yourself up on the bar slowly, and then raise yourself back down slowly, make sure not to just drop on the way down. You're lifting your own body weight, and works out your entire upper body. Perform this exercise until you can no longer lift yourself back up.

So now you know the basics of some good abs exercises, you need to know that you can't get a six pack unless you improve your diet. What you eat is probably the most vital factor in getting ripped. So, if you're serious about reaching your goals, you need to eliminate the rubbish foods from your diet. Replace the rubbish foods with high protein meals. Protein is essential in building muscle, and will make your muscles bigger and stronger!

Now dedication is key here. As long as you can stay on track, and not slack off with your routine, then you will get a six pack. Anyone can get a six pack if armed with the right knowledge, and now you've read this article, you have got some of that knowledge! - 17269

Washington, DC Weight Loss Coach Shows You How You Can Stop Making Excuses

By Josef Brandenburg

The right way to achieve quick and effective weight loss in Washington, DC is with the help and encouragement of an experienced weight loss coach who would design a good, effective workout program that will surely help you reach your weight log goals, instead of putting you on an extremely tough, tiring workout routine that you will find difficult to keep up with. But only if you undertake it with the proper mental outlook, will you be successful.

What is the big secret to attaining your desired weight loss goals? The answer - eliminating all of your lame excuses that keep you from it. It's like in the saying "Don't complain and don't explain" that was in Dr. Wayne Dyer's motivational writings, which means that instead of coming up with reasons why we are unable to accomplish our goals we should drop that negative mindset and adopt a positive one. We ought to do away with our unhealthy habit of whining about the difficulty of our situation. This would be a step in the right direction since you will not be spending your time complaining instead of actually getting something done.

There are only two options you could have chosen from, at the end of the day. The first one being that you went ahead with your workout plan and successfully completed it and the second being that you did not. You do not need anyone to tell you that the right option of the two is to complete the plan that was set for you. Failure to complete it means that your Washington, DC weight loss program will not be a successful one.

There are ways to keep making excuses at bay. One of the best ways to do so is to take the example of the people who have been in bad situations and have managed to come out on top. These people can influence people who whine and make up reasons to adopt a positive attitude and they have been proven to be a great source of inspiration.

A perfect example of a person who should be an inspiration to us all is Dan Caro. Having been burned in a car accident when he was just 2, Dan lost his fingers and was left with only his thumbs. As time went by, he didn't let it come in the way of being a musician and went on to become a talented drummer. He just proves that the obstacles that we impose on ourselves in the form of the excuses we make up simply keep us from achieving our goals.

Give up your past propensity for making excuses and look towards achieving your weight loss goals. Enter a solid Washington, DC weight loss program and take the steps necessary to succeed. This is truly the best option you have in front of you. - 17269
