Comment on Nutrition on a Recession Budget by Rahim Samuel

These are excellent tips that will really help to save money in our recession. Eating at home can do wonders for the bank account as well. I once wrote down every dollar I spent on eating out in one month and, needless to say, that money could have went toward paying a bill. That’s how high it was.

Obesity is really an epidemic these days. People have become very lazy and does not want to exercise anymore. I do a lot of jogging and brisk walking everyday just to be fit and healthy.

Comment on Energy drinks: A shot in the arm? by Juicer Review Guru

Juicer Review Guru — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:36:24 +0000

I used to drink as many as 5 “Monster” energy drinks a day, and I’ve since transitioned to natural juicers over the years. Although I’ve only tried 5 Hour Energy once (I wasn’t personally thrilled about the taste), I would recommend trying juice made from a triturating or masticating juicer. Most juicers are a type called “centrifugal”, which allow the juice to oxidize, destroying all nutritional value seconds after production. Masticating and triturating juicers are unique in that they preserve the health content in juice for over a day, meaning that you will get nutrients, enzymes, chlorophyll and lots of other things that will give you natural energy throughout the day rather than relying on energy drinks or the newer “alternatives”!

Comment on Preventing Low Back Pain While Shoveling Snow by Rick Olderman

Rick Olderman — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 16:47:11 +0000

Ultimately the best prevention for back pain while shoveling snow is to have a good back going into it. There is a lot of confusing information available about back pain. I like to keep things simple by using a quick little test. Try this out. It’ll literally take 1 minute.
Lie down on your back for 30 seconds with legs extended out, resting on the floor. Now bend your knees so the feet are sitting flat on the floor near your behind for 30 seconds. Which one feels better? If your back pain diminishes with knees bent then your spine has excessive extension stress acting on it. There are simple exercises to correct this. If your spine felt better with legs extended then you have excessive flexion stress acting on your spine. Again this is easily correctable.
Chronic pain results from a cycle of issues. Anatomical problems feed biomechanical issues which then affect movement habits that reinforce the original anatomical and biomechanical problems. Fixing back pain requires attention to all three levels. It’s quite simple to correct though and outlined this in my book. I’m very successful treating chronic pain and it is likely this information will be the key you’ve been missing to fix your pain.
