Weak Muscles Lead to Back Pain

Dunn was erred to the sports medicine program at Life-Bridge Health and Fitness Center, part of a regional health network in Maryland overseen by medical director Michael Kelly, MHSc, a certified neuromuscular therapist. Kelly soon found that, although Dunn was very fit for a man his age, hed neglected some areas of his body. "The muscle groups I was using were in good shape, but then Id isolate other muscle groups, and I could barely lift the weight. I was like an infant," Dunn says.
About 25% of Americans are affected by back pain in a given year, and they spend more time at the doctors office for back pain than for any other medical condition except high blood pressure and diabetes.
Instead of jumping for pills or surgery, says Kelly, people with chronic back pain should first seek out a thorough functional assessment from a qualified trainer with experience in sports medicine.

Exercising for Back Pain

"A lot of back pain is due to postural alignment problems," Kelly says. "If you catch it soon enough and correct the problem with exercise and strengthening, you can avoid future pain."
Today, Dunn has learned a number of ways to use exercise to relieve and prevent back pain. For example, he works hard on strengthening the muscles involved in the bodys core stabilization such as the glutes, a key element in a golfers swing.
"When your torso and hips are moving rapidly from back to front, your back can keep your torso rotating and put incredible strain on your spine," he says. "When you engage your glutes at the end of the swing, its like a brake on the spine."
Back pain can be relieved by many different types of exercises. For instance, a knees-to-chest exercise can be a big help if your pain is due to spinal stenosis, a narrowing of areas in the spine that can put pressure on the nerves. Thats because lying on your back and pulling the knees to the chest for about 60 seconds opens up the disc space in the back, which  relieves pressure on the nerves, says Kelly.
Today, Dunn says, "I still have a tight back from time to time, but the pain has almost completely gone away." Even better: "I havent had to give up golfing!"

NOTE #2: Wanna help out a good cause? Yay! The Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation is asking CHG readers to fill out this Healthy Eating poll for research. They dont want any personal information – just a few answers to some very worthwhile questions. Head on over!

In my humble, meek, somewhat self-effacing (yes, I used the Thesaurus tool) opinion, one of the best recipes we’ve ever featured on CHG is the unfortunately named Cheesy Eggplant Bake. A tornado of vegetables and frommage, it’s most excellent for those days you just want to pack your face with large quantities of delectable healthiness.

Jeez, though. That name.

Today’s recipe has a similar problem. It’s a limey, fresh, summer-appropriate mixture of chicken and various guacamole-associated ingredients. And ideally, it goes in a wrap, on top of a few leaves of lettuce.

So, do we call our creations Deconstructed Guacamole Wraps? On one hand, the name sounds like the classy-like results of a Top Chef quickfire challenge. On the other hand, what everyday cook ever deconstructs anything? Besides his blender, I mean.

Or, do we go with Lime Chicken Salad with Avocado and Tomato? It lacks the upscale panache of the first name, but it IS much more picnic-ready. Like you can just throw it together and be off. Still, there’s the slight mayo-association that comes whenever you use the word “Salad.” And nobody wants that.

Sweet readers, what to call this thing? Would you go with either of the proposed titles? Would you call it something else entirely? How do we convey that it requires leftover chicken? Am I overthinking this?

(My answers: dunno, maybe, yes, beats me, yes.)

Before you get to brainstorming, though, know this: these wraps, while scrumptious, are much richer than our usual entries, due to a lot of avocado and a not-modest amount of olive oil. However, you can drop a significant amount of fat by reducing each ingredient by half. Not that you have to. This is all pretty healthy, fat-wise.

With that said, how about that name? Im stymied.

Deconstructed Guacamole Wraps
OR Lime Chicken Salad with Avocado and Tomato
Serves 4.


8 ounces grilled chicken, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

NOTE: I used grilled chicken thighs for this, due to their moistness and general tastiness. There were three of ‘em and I took each apart with my fingers.

1) In a medium bowl, combine chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Stir, gently if you have very-ripe avocado.

2) In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour on to chicken mixture and stir to combine.

If you have fever, cough, nasal congestion, chills, aches and sore throat, then most probably you are suffering from flu. H1N1 is not that hard to treat. The influenza virus keeps on mutating every year, so its quite hard to develop a vaccine that can help in each winter. There are also many other reasons that you catch influenza in winters. These reasons include staying indoors with many people, virus ability to survive even on nonporous surfaces, and their airborne ability when someone coughs or sneezes.

There are many steps that can help you to feel better while suffering from influenza. These steps also include simple home remedies. Drink plenty of water as influenza can leave you dehydrated. Juices can also be a good choice to keep your bodys water content high. Drink juices with vitamin C in them as vitamin C helps boost up the immune system. Dont use the caffeine beverages as it is diuretic. You can drink herbal tea or ginger tea which can help you treat influenza quite magically. Ginger tea is not that hard to make. Just take an inch long peeled piece of ginger and boil it. When it starts boiling, add about 1/8 teaspoon of tea. Now pour it in your cup and add some sugar to taste. The ginger tea can help you feel better in flu. Also, drink chicken soup. The fumes of the soup also make you feel better.

Rest as much as you can. It will help your body concentrate its energy in fighting the disease. Give your body a little help in fighting the virus and lie down in a bed. Read some books and enjoy your soup or ginger tea. Gargles can help you a lot with your sore throat. Just put a teaspoon of salt in warm water and use it 2-4 times daily to moist your throat. Take a steamy shower. It will help reduce body aches and chills that you have in flu. A shower will help you feel better, but take care while taking a shower. Dont dry your body immediately as the flu can get worse.

Steam can help a lot in influenza. Take a pot and boil water in it. Now take a towel or blanket over your head and inhale the steam. Add some peppermint or eucalyptus oil in the water to open your nasal ways. Avoid this method if you have some other issues with your respiratory tract like asthma. If a friend or family member wants to help you in your illness, let them. Having someone around will make you feel better and you will have to step out of your blanket only when its necessary.

Take loads of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and zinc help boost your immune system and hence, help you get well soon. Take zinc tablets or vitamin C tablets. While sleeping, put an extra pillow under your head that will keep your head up. This will ensure that you dont take in the mucus that is coming out. Avoid using aspirin if you have influenza. Sneeze and wipe the mucus with tissue paper. Use a new tissue every time you sneeze. Use some menthol hard candies to ease your throat. It will help open your throat and make you feel better.

Influenza is not that hard to cure. All you have to do is take some extra care of yourself, and you will be able to treat it in no time.

It’s summertime! The sun is shining (hopefully) and Seattle is a great place to be in the summer. More time spent outdoors and more skin exposed means more vulnerability to the sun’s damaging rays. Beautiful, healthy skin may or may not be something you are lucky enough to have been born with, but regardless, there are ways to enhance and improve the skin you’re in. Whether your concern is protecting your youthfulness, clearing up a nagging acne or eczema problem, or just creating a healthy glow, Chinese medicine can assist you.





 Beauty problems that show up on the skin originate internally. Your skin is the largest organ of your body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the skin is associated with the lungs and large intestine. This may seem a little strange, but if you think about it, they all share the function of filtering toxins. A diagnosis in TCM such as damp-heat in the large intestine or lung heat may be the internal root cause of your acne. The solution in those examples would be to clear the damp heat, clear toxins, cool and moisturize the lungs.
Not only is the balance of the internal organs important, but beautiful skin also depends on the abundance of blood, qi, and body fluids you have, which all nourish the skin. Someone with pale, sallow, dry skin may likely have a lack of Qi, Blood or Yin, which moisturize the skin and gives it a rosy glow. On the other hand, someone with oily skin, reddish complexion, or who is more prone to acne, tends to have an excess of yang and heat in the body. Your TCM practitioner will diagnose your condition and then aim to treat the yin/yang/organ imbalance with acupuncture, herbs and nutritional advice.

Your acupuncturist will select a combination of points to address your particular skin care concern. So, if you are battling acne, acupuncture can help to balance hormones. It also helps speed along the detoxification process, if your acne, eczema or dull skin is a result of toxic overload. Acupuncture facial rejuvenation treatments (an ‘acupuncture facelift’) slow the signs of aging and give your face a wonderful glow. Acupuncture can also reduce the appearance of scars.
Herbs are used to correct the underlying imbalance contributing to the skin problem. For cases of acne and eczema, or redness, the herbal formula would target clearing heat, dampness and toxins, while balancing the lungs and large intestine. For dull, dry sallow complexions, the herbal formula selected for you would target nourishing and replenishing a lack of Qi, Blood and moisture to the skin. This approach also leads to clearer skin because when Qi and blood are abundant and flow properly, wastes are removed more efficiently.
Just a few of the many herbs used in Chinese medicine for clearing the skin include: honeysuckle flower (jin yin hua), pearl powder (zhen zhu), gardenia fruit (zhi zi), lithospermum root (zi cao), peony root bark (mu dan pi), sophora root (ku shen), dandelion (pu gong yin), chrysanthemum flower (ju hua), and forsythia fruit (lian qiao). Others used for rejuvenating pale, tired and dry skin include: dang gui, ophiopogon root (mai men dong), prepared rehmannia root (shu di huang),glehnia root (bei sha shen), and asparagus root (tian men dong).
Chinese herbs can also be applied externally to help relieve eczema, rashes and sunburns.




Recipe for sunburn/sun damage: 1 tablespoon loose green tea leaves or 1 tea bag, 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and pour over green tea in a glass bowl. Steep until cool. Discard tea. Add aloe vera gel, mixing thoroughly. Apply to affected areas with cotton balls. Green tea has healing properties, is cooling and its antioxidant properties help repair sun damage.
Your skin is reflective of your diet and is an easy, effective way to improve your complexion. Foods that help nourish dry skin include: pears, bananas, apples, berries, cherries, melons, plums, chinese dates, avocados, black beans, mung beans, black sesame seeds, peanuts, almonds, olive oil, fish, chicken, and tofu. Foods to avoid for dry skin conditions are pungent, acrid foods such as garlic, peppers and ginger. Foods that help clear heat and detoxify include: asparagus, green veggies, cucumbers, lettuce, green beans, most fruits (with the exception of citrus), mung beans, and honey. Foods to avoid for excess heat conditions are hot spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, pungent foods, and oily foods.
Lifestyle is a big part of taking care of your skin. Naturally, always use sunscreen. Consider quitting smoking. Smoking causes damage to the skin and accelerates aging. If you are ready to tackle quitting smoking, acupuncture treatments help curb cravings. If you are trying to quit smoking, an herbal formula can be prescribed to help ease cravings and help nourish damaged lungs.
Skin regenerates at night, so dont skimp on sleep. Drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated. Avoid using harsh skin care products with alcohol in them, which dry out the skin. Your routine should include a gentle cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sunscreen.



Recipe for a facial steam with the Chinese herb jin yin hua, (honeysuckle): 1/4 cup of dried honeysuckle blossoms. Bring 2 cups of water to boil and add the honeysuckle blossoms to the hot water in a glass bowl. Let steep for 2 minutes. Place the bowl on a solid surface, drape a towel over your head, allowing the vapors to steam your face for about 10 minutes, or until the water cools. Discard or drink the liquid. Honeysuckle flowers help clear toxins that can cause heat rashes, acne, and eczema.
Getting a moderate amount of exercise is also important. Your skin releases toxins when you sweat and the increased blood circulation helps filter wastes. To conclude, the key, according to Chinese medicine, is a combination of common sense, moderation and getting to know when your body’s patterns of disharmony arise. Consult a practitioner to get diagnosed and get help with your new skin routine, especially before taking any herbs.

Eliminate Bad Cholesterol with Tomatoes - For you that are struggling in reduce the cholesterol level or high blood pressure, Now you have a solution. From now, be diligent to consume food that contain tomatoes like pasta or tomatoes juice.

Accord to research report that contain in maturitas journal, food from the tomatoes are cooked like pasta turned out to have almost the same efficacy as cholesterol-lowering drug chemistry.

such as in daily mail, The expert recommend that tomatoes able be effective alternative as the substitute of statin, The kind of drug that recipe for condition in heart disorder.
According to the researchers, with only consume two ounces or about 60 grams of tomato paste or one-eighth of tomato juice every day, is enough for the patient to receive such benefits.

The secret is in the lycopene compound that gives red light at the ripe tomatoes. This powerful antioxidant important to health in reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Researchers emphasize, tomatoes are cooked is the best source. It has been proven in research in which the body can absorb more lycopene from cooked tomatoes than tomatoes are not in ripe.

This is a study of experts in Australia who analyzed 14 international studies on the benefits of lycopene in the last 55 years. They concluded that these compounds could provide natural protection against the effects of elevated levels of "bad cholesterol" or low density lipoproteins in the blood.

The effect is that cooked tomatoes can be equated with small doses of statins that are used to treat patients with cholesterol or high blood pressure. This condition can be a factor of cardiovascular disease.

One of the studys authors, Dr Karin Ried, of the University of Adelaide, said the tomato has a particularly high level of lycopene. He added, half a liter of tomato juice or 50 grams of tomato paste every day to provide protection against heart disease. But if you just eat a tomato a day will not be enough.

"I really recommend to consider the tomato paste. Food is rich in lycopene and not difficult to get 50 grams per day or in a pizza or a drink. Our research shows, when more than 25 grams of lycopene consumed every day, it can reduce cholesterol" poor "by more than 10 percent,"

Ried said.

Lycopene can also be found in watermelon, guava, papaya, pink grapefruit, apricot and rosehip, but in lower concentrations.

A simple trip to the bookstore is going to show you that there are many different ways in order for you to be able to relieve stress from your life naturally.  There is no end to self-help books, and each of them is going to have a different angle on this problem.  The difficulty is, many individuals are not going to be able to use each of these techniques in their own personal circumstances.  It can be difficult, as a matter of fact, to weed through all the noise and really find the one that is going to work the best for you.






At times, you may need to forget all of the new things that are available and get back to the basics of how to truly reduce your stress.  For example, the Chinese have been using acupuncture in order to reduce stress for thousands of years.  This is a technique that is all natural and can help the body to do some amazing things, provided the acupuncture is administered properly.  How well can it work for you and your stress levels?
The reason that acupuncture works so well is because it is based on an ancient Chinese principle that says that the body is full of energy and it is a free flow of this energy that keeps the body healthy.  The unfortunate thing is, all of us have an imbalance of some sort or another and this imbalance can block the free flow of energy, causing physical and mental problems.  That is what acupuncture was created for, as a way to stimulate areas of the body and release the energy that may be blocked at that point.  This can have an amazing effect on our mental outlook.
If youre feeling stressed and are unsure what to do about it, going to an acupuncturist a few times may be able to help to release this energy and give you some relief from your stressful situations.  Although an acupuncturist is not going to be able to take the stress out of your life by removing the situations that cause it, they can help you to give your body what it needs in a natural way that will allow it to cope successfully with the stress that is coming its way.  Its an ancient art, but it is one that can still help us today to overcome our problems.

Prevent Stroke with Citrus Fruit - Recent research shows that eating citrus fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of stroke. For this study, researchers focused on compounds called flavanone, which is found in citrus fruits.

"These data provide strong support for eating more fruit juice as a daily consumption to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke," says study leader Aedin Cassidy, head of the nutrition of Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, England.

There is a possibility that flavanone in citrus fruits improve blood vessel function or reduce inflammation, which has been associated with stroke, the researchers said.

Cassidy said, to gain maximum benefit from the flavanone, fruits should be presented in the form of juice and no added sugar.

The study was published online on February 23, 2012 in the journal Stroke, whose research is funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Flavanones is a type of flavonoid which has been known for its ability to suppress the incidence of stroke risk is lower. In addition to fruits and vegetables, flavonoids are also found in red wine and dark chocolate.

For this study, the researchers focused on the six subclasses of flavonoids, including flavanone.

In the study researchers evaluated data from the U.S. Nurses Health Study for 14 years. The study involved nearly 70,000 women, who each reported their food intake every four years and include details about the consumption of fruits and vegetables. At the end of the study note that there are about 1803 cases of stroke occurring. Approximately half had ischemic stroke (blockage of blood vessels).

Researchers said the number of flavonoid intake did not reduce the risk of stroke, but flavanone intake may reduce the risk of stroke. Women who earn more flavanone intake have an increased risk 19 percent lower risk of ischemic stroke than those who eat them in small amounts.

The researchers found that 95 percent of consumption flavanone derived from citrus fruits and juices, especially orange and grapefruit juice. Participants who ate the fruit or orange juice at most, the risk of stroke was reduced by 10 percent.

Women who received the lowest intake of flavanone on average consume about 150 milligrams of flavonoids per day or less. While those who earn large amounts of flavanone intake consumed about 470 milligrams a day.

Behind its hairy brown skin, green flesh that has the ability to prevent cancer. Among the 27 species of popular fruit, kiwi also proved the highest nutritional content.

Kiwi fruit (Actinidia deliciosa) now we can easily find in supermarkets major cities in Indonesia. Characteristic kiwi is somewhat oval shape and brown furry skin color so it looks exotic.

The advantages of this fruit lies in the soft texture, taste delicious, and the rich aroma and fresh. Its chemical composition consists of nutrients and non-nutrients, is essential for health.


Low Energy
Fat and energy content of kiwi fruit is low enough so that the fruit is one fruit that is very good to be consumed by people who are doing low-calorie diet.

The energy content in each 100 grams of fruit and kiwi only 61 kcal, or less than 40 percent of the amount of energy contained in a banana. Kiwi fruit energy content is lower than citrus, orange, and grape, but slightly higher than the lemon, strawberries, cantaloupe, and papaya.

A publication that was published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition showed that of 27 commonly consumed fruits, kiwi turns nutrient density (nutrient density) highest.

The research was conducted by Dr. Paul Lachance, director of The Nutraceuticals Institute, a professor at Rutgers University, USA.
Measure of nutrient density is very commonly used by the dietitian to measure the nutritional value of certain foods, compared to other foods in equal portions. The higher the nutrient density of a food, the better the quality of the material.

Kiwi is a source of amino acids arginine and glutamate. Arginine is an amino acid that is a vasodilator (blood pressure lowering) and helps increase blood flow. As a vasodilator, arginine is also used to treat symptoms of impotence. The same amino acid also prevents the occurrence of plaque on artery walls, particularly in patients with angioplasty (plastic surgery of blood vessels).



Vitamin Complete
Some research indicates that the kiwi fruit contains 17 times more vitamin C than an apple, two times more than oranges, as well as more than lemon.

The content of vitamin E in kiwi two times more than the avocado. In addition, kiwi fruit also contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, folic acid, niacin, vitamin A, and pantothenic acid in significant numbers.

Vitamin C and vitamin E have been known role as a natural antioxidant that is important for warding off free radicals cause aging of cells and triggers the onset of various diseases. Free radicals are atoms or molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons so freely bind to various cells and tissues, as well as lead to cancer, heart disease, and premature aging.

Vitamin C helps to maintain the condition of the body against flu and colds (boost the immune system), reducing stress levels and helps the healing process. This vitamin also plays an important role in maintaining the health of skin cells that still looks clean, radiant and healthy.

Like vitamin C, vitamin E also plays a role maintaining healthy body cells, slows the effects of aging and maintain skin cells in order to stay young, increase fertility, and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

In addition to vitamins C and E, another antioxidant present in kiwi is certain phytochemical compounds, such as carotenoids, lutein, Xanthophyll, flavonoids, and others. Kiwi antioxidant capacity against free radical compounds placed third highest after the orange and red wine.



High Mineral
As with other fruit, kiwi is an excellent source of minerals needed to maintain stamina. Kiwi contains electrolytes (minerals) that are critical to turn the body loses electrolytes due to sweating during hard work, exercise or hot weather.

The main minerals contained in the kiwi is potassium (potassium), magnesium, calcium, copper, zinc, manganese, and phosphorus. The content of potassium in the kiwi was 5.4 mg / calories, higher than bananas (4.2 mg / calories), and slightly lower than the papaya (6.6 mg / calories) and apricot (6.2 mg / calories).

Potassium is important for maintaining muscle function and motor nervous system reflexes. Potassium also plays a role in maintaining water balance in the body. Thats why athletes and heavy workers consume enough potassium is recommended.
Potassium is also believed to be high blood pressure-lowering mineral. On the other hand, the kiwi is almost no elements of sodium, which some researchers are recognized as trigger high blood pressure.

Of the 27 types of fruits commonly consumed in the United States, fruit kiwilah the highest levels of magnesium. Low magnesium intake can lead to heart disease, myocardial infarction, and hypertension.
