Balance and your Posture
Mar 30, 2010 Good posture should be a relaxed, comfortable and balanced state providing you with stability, poise, and energy. Research suggests that many spine problems are preventable because they result from poor posture and body mechanics, which subject the spine to abnormal stresses. |
Problems Sleeping?
Mar 30, 2010 You wake every morning feeling like you were up all night, well maybe you were. Even though you were sleeping all through the night you may be experiencing sleep disturbances. There are over 70 different types of sleep disorders and are all categorized in three areas; lack of sleep, disturbed sleep, and excessive sleep. |
Headaches
Mar 30, 2010 Headaches are a fairly common pain for everyone, and most people just rely on medication like aspirin to deal with it. What these people do not realize is that the pain causing the headache may be coming from some other region in the body and will continue unless treated. Stress, back, and even muscle pain can send pain signals to the nerves, arteries, and veins inside their head to cause these headaches. |
Low Back Problems
Nov 17, 2009 The second most frequent cause of going to see the doctor, after the common cold, is low back pain. Over 80% of people at one time or another will suffer from a stabbing, searing, debilitating pain that can reduce us to tears, bring us to our knees, and make it so that we cannot stand up straight. We are only as strong as our backs. Back pain is preventable. With the right tools, exercises, training, and posture, we can minimize the number of pain incidence we have, reduce the discomfort and speed up the recovery time. |
Stop Smoking Now!
Nov 17, 2009 If you want to stop smoking, you can. If you merely think you should, then you will not be successful! |
A New Definition of Sickness
Nov 05, 2009 Good health is when our bodies work as they were originally designed. Most people think that how they feel is an indicator of how healthy they are. It’s not true. Your brain, spinal cord and all of your nerves control, coordinate and regulate your body. Every cell of every tissue and organ system takes orders from our nervous system. |
An Overlooked Approach to Health
Nov 05, 2009 Wellness requires you to be a proactive agent for your body. You need to treat it well and not wait until you hurt before you decide to take care of it. As has been said before, health is not merely the absence of disease any more than wealth is an absence of poverty. Let’s remember health is not simply “feeling fine,” for we know that problems may progress for years without causing any symptoms whatsoever. As you know by now, heart disease for example, often develops unnoticed for many years before it strikes: in fact, the first symptom of heart disease that many people experience is a heart attack or death. |
Body Facts
Nov 03, 2009 Among the top ten causes of death in the US are toxic reactions to correctly prescribed drugs, which make more than two million Americans seriously ill every year, and kill 106,000 more.
Incorrectly prescribed drugs account for another 90,000 deaths each year! |
Healthy Body
Nov 03, 2009 We all make healthy choices for our bodies, but what about our planet? How can we make healthy choices for our planet? All the choices we make have some affect on our environment. Here are some tips that you can use to help lessen the impact on our earth. |
Sunscreen and the High Desert
Nov 03, 2009 Situated at 3500 feet in the high desert, Bend is a community that prides itself of it’s abundance of outdoor activities. With our so-called 300 days of sunshine every year, we have to protect ourselves from the damaging rays of the sun. The combination of higher altitude and ultraviolet (UV) rays reflected by the snow puts the people of central Oregon at an increased risk of sun damage and ultimately, skin cancer. |
Today's Lifestyle
Nov 03, 2009 The Mind...There’s no question that what we think and feel about ourselves and our lives...relationships, work, school and play, more than any other aspect of life, is crucial to our performance and enjoyment of life! The mind is a vast subject and and how to use it a highly personal matter. |
A Clean Kitchen
Nov 03, 2009 Everytime you use a sponge or dishrag to clean the counter table or sink, you unknowingly spread germs around. Recent research shows that the average sponge or dishrag is chock full of bacteria like Staphylococcus and Salmonella which are the two main causes of food-borne illnesses in America. |
Your Posture
Nov 03, 2009 Normally the spine has 4 curves when viewed from the side. One in the neck curving forward, in the mid-back curving backward, in the lower back curving forward and at the tailbone curving backward. The usual, typical or normal shape of the cervical spine (neck) in the side view is a lordosis (forward curve). Hypolordosis is when this curve is decreased from normal. |
Raising a Healthy Family
Nov 03, 2009 Raising a healthy and happy drug-free family in today’s day and age is challenging because of the onslaught of commercials that tell us to use over-the-counter, prescription drugs and other medications for bacterial and viral infections such as colds, swine flu, sore throat and other childhood illnesses. |
