Find Out What Poor Posture May Be Doing to Your Body

Feeling tense and achy? It may be due to poor posture. While the media is touting warnings about “tech neck” — the neck pain and damage sustained from hunching over smartphones and other devices for too long — you’re actually risking harm to your overall health if any other body part becomes misaligned.

That’s because, as the American Journal of Pain Management notes, a person’s posture affects and moderates every physiological function, from breathing to hormonal production.

Yes, every physiological function.

How, you may ask? “Our muscles and ligaments routinely work to balance us as we sit, stand, bend and sleep,” says Sherry McAllister, DC, executive vice president of the not-for-profit Foundation for Chiropractic Progress. “Over time, however, uneven stress causes the body to adapt and change, subsequently causing aches and pains.”

Various factors can contribute to poor posture, including injury, stress, obesity, pregnancy and weak postural muscles. Chiropractors have been specifically trained, as part of their minimum seven years of higher education, to provide drug-free, hands-on care that helps to naturally align and strengthen the spine, as well as advise on healthy lifestyle habits.

And as far as habits go, in keeping with National Correct Posture Month, the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress is out with tips designed to help you develop smart ways to perfect your posture. Among them:

• Maintain a neutral spine, meaning chin up and shoulders pulled back.

• Avoid extended time spent with your head flexed forward.

• Don’t cross your legs while seated.

The following exercise program is just a guideline to restore and strengthen the gluteal muscles. If you have an injury and suspect inhibited gluteals I highly recommend seeking the help of a qualiﬁed professional so they can determine what is causing the inhibition and correct it properly.

Strengthening the Connection

Heel Press to Floor

1. Lay on your back with your knees bent and feet ﬂat on the ﬂoor in one line with the hips, knees, and ankles.

2. Press your heel to the ﬂoor and concentrate on the strength of the contraction at the buttocks. You should ﬁrst try this one side at a time and notice if there is any difference in strength. If you feel the calves working too much, lift the toes up and press only the heels to the ﬂoor.

Pelvic Curls

1. Lay on your back with your knees bent and feet ﬂat on the ﬂoor in one line with the hips, knees, and ankles.

2. Begin engaging the buttocks as performed above in the Heel Press. Then bring the pubic bone to the sky and continue to roll up sequentially through your spine onto your shoulders. Make sure you are engaging your abdominals so you do not arch your lower back.

3. Roll down to the starting position from the top of the spine. Be careful not to tense up your shoulders and neck here.

4. Optional Progression: Try with one leg extended to the ceiling with a ﬂexed foot. As you lower your hips pull the knee of the extended leg to the chest and then press the hips back up while pressing the heel of the extended leg back to the ceiling.

Integrating the Pattern
Deadlift

1. Stand tall with the arches of your feet lined up with the outside of your hips. Engage your buttocks and legs by performing a “corkscrew” action, engaging the muscles of the legs while maintaining your feet in a ﬁrmly planted position. Hands can be behind the head to help keep the spine upright.

2. Flex at the hips by sending them straight behind you. This is the hip hinge, an important function for bending properly. As you continue to send the hips back in space, using this hip hinge, maintain the torso in one place so you eventually become parallel to the ﬂoor in a ﬂat back position rather than collapsing and rounding the spine.

3. Re-engage the buttocks and legs by pressing the hips forward to bring the torso back to the upright starting position.

4. Optional Progressions: Use a kettlebell or weighted bar maintained close to the body. Once you are able to perform cleanly, progress to the single leg deadlift.

Lunge

1. Step out with one leg far enough that when you descend, your knees bend at 90 degree angles and do not move forward beyond the ankles. Keep your hands behind your head and your torso vertical. As you descend, the back heel will lift and the back knee will lower straight down until it almost touches the ﬂoor. Make sure the knees do not push inwards toward the midline of the body, but remain in line with the hips and ankles. Also make sure the hips remain on the same plane.

2. To return to the starting position press down through the front heel to re-engage the buttocks. Repeat for the desired amount of reps and then switch sides.

3. Optional Progression: Add torso rotation towards the front leg while maintaining a stable base. Make sure the arms move in opposition to the lower body just like in gait.

Single Leg Step-ups

1. Start with one leg up on a step. The opposite arm is forward. Make sure hips, knees, and ankles are aligned and that the hip of the lead leg is not hiked up.

2. Press down into the heel of the lead leg and step up to balance. As you are stepping up, move the rear leg forward with the knee on that leg bent at 90 degrees. Allow the arms to switch naturally so they are again in opposition to the lower body. This will help with balance.

3. Stay tall as you send the leg that is up back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired amount of reps and then switch sides.

4. Optional Progression: If you do not have shoulder issues try holding a kettlebell ﬁrmly overhead in the opposite arm of the leg that is lifting from back to up, keeping the arm in a neutral position throughout the exercise. The arm should make a straight line over the body. It is imperative that the spine remain in a neutral position.

Visible, cracked capillaries, visible veins, painful and swollen feet – are the problems that most women have. Primarily, this is an aesthetic problem for each of us, but, nevertheless, it is a sign that the blood vessels are weakened, mostly because of external factors, and partly because of the Internal.

The more I searched, I could not find a specific cause. I would say that this is a problem like cellulite, the causes are different with each woman. In fact, I do not know a woman who does not have burst capillaries on her legs. I had that problem for 20 years. I follow what’s going on, and I see that the capillaries are not spreading quickly, but they have spread significantly in the last 3 months, because I have been standing a lot and have walked into some kind of medical flip-flops, which I highly doubt are good.

Standing, sitting and uncomfortable shoes with too high or low heels will only accelerate the process of varicose veins. Pregnancy also, in my case everything started during the second pregnancy, when I had to rest. I believe that the nutrition is also crucial, if you consume enough animal protein and plenty of vitamin C, it will prevent the weakening of the vein wall.

Sugar and trans fatty acids can cause various body inflammation, which indirectly can weaken the capillary walls, therefore you should avoid them. These advices can help you alleviate the problem.

Horse Chestnut, the one that is growing as ornamental tree in the parks, is the ingredient that you need. If you want to solve your problem the natural way, I suggest to start reading.

Here are 4 recipes for the treatment of capillaries and veins:
Ingredients:

10 horse chestnut fruits, without the peel
1/2 l of homemade brandy

Preparation:

Peel the chestnuts, chop them and put them in a jar.Pour the brandy over them. Seal the jar and leave it in a warm (but not too warm) place for 3 weeks. Stir it occasionally. After 3 weeks, strain the mixture through a gauze and store the remedy in a dark bottle. This remedy is made for external use in combination with marigold ointment.

Alcoholic extract (extract) for treatment of capillaries and veins
Ingredients:

12 horse chestnut fruits, with crust
2-3 dl of homemade brandy

Preparation:

Chop the chestnuts. In order to do that you will need tongs or a meat mallet. Put the chopped chestnuts in a jar and pour the brandy over them. Seal the jar and leave it in a warm place for 6 weeks. Stir it occasionally. Strain the mixture and pour the medicine into a dark bottle. You can drink this extract in a form of drops, in tea or water.However this extract can irritate the stomach wall, so it is best to drink it after a meal. If you have a sensitive stomach, you should not drink such extracts. Personally I like this extracts and I consume it every day with a tea.

Balm for veins
Ingredients:

5 tsp of lanolin
2 teaspoons of chestnut extract
2 teaspoons of chestnut tincture
3 tablespoons of macerate, St. John’s wort or marigold
2 g of beeswax

Preparation:

Put the lanolin in a narrow and high bowl. Add the extract and the tincture gradually, by half a teaspoon of each and stir them with a spoon until you get a unique mixture. This process will be going slowly, so be patient when mixing. Melt the wax at a very low temperature, and then add it to the mixture. Heat the mixture and stir it until you get a unique mixture. When the ointment is ready pour it into a suitable container, wait for it to cool and then close the container.

Use the ointment once a day. Apply it in a thin layer and gently massage the affected area with movements in the direction of the heart. Keep the ointment at room temperature.

Tonic for veins

Ingredients:

40 ml of chestnut tincture
40 ml of chestnut extract
10 drops of essential rosemary oil – for better circulation

Preparation:

Pour all the ingredients into a spray bottle and shake it well.

What would you say if I told you you could drastically improve your oral health and whiten your teeth by using just two teaspoons of a single ingredient each day?

You’d be interested right?

Well what if I also told you that the ingredient is something you likely already have in your home?

Read on and we’ll unveil the mystery substance and its workings!

Introducing Oil Pulling
In case the subheading didn’t give it away, the ingredient in question is oil. That’s unrefined cooking oil to be precise such as coconut oil. It doesn’t really matter which one you choose and it doesn’t matter if you don’t like the taste… because you’re not actually going to eat it.

Instead, take your two teaspoons and put them in your mouth. Now, you’re going to swish your mouth with the oil (as you would do with water after brushing your teeth) and then spit the oil into the sink. You may find it’s gross but that’s beside the point.

This is what’s known as ‘oil pulling’ and it’s a technique that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. The surprising thing is that unlike some of these other ‘ancient remedies’, oil pulling might actually work. As a result, it’s recently become very popular and is now touted by all manner of health bloggers, vloggers and grandmas.

What precisely does it do? Well, among other things, oil pulling will combat halitosis, gingivitis, eczema, acne and more.

How it Works
The idea behind oil pulling is that swishing oil will ‘draw’ the bacteria out through the pores in your gums, thus removing it from your mouth and from your body in general.

This is a nice theory but it’s not really scientifically backed. Unfortunately there’s no evidence that oils do this and in fact the whole idea of ‘drawing things out’ from your skin may be misguided. In fact, oils, honey and other remedies actually just soften skin to help remove splinters etc.

But be that as it may, science does suggest that oil pulling works to remove bacteria from your mouth. In one study it was found that using oil pulling did significantly remove bacteria (strep mucus specifically) as well as plaque.

So in fact, oil pulling can offer all those benefits when it comes to clearing the bacteria out your mouth – it’s just the bit about the pores that’s not quite accurate.

What’s more, seeing as flossing can reduce cancer rates by reducing the amount of bacteria taking its toll on your body’s immune system, it stands to reason that oil pull may be able to do the same!

Should You Do It?
Many people thus swear by oil pulling and they may well have better teeth and breath as a result. Doing this every day though may be a little extreme – bear in mind that the recommendation is to swill for a full 20 minutes. Floss thoroughly, brush regularly and just use this every now and then to get that bacteria count down.

Did your Mother ever urge you to eat your cucumbers when you were a kid? Mine certainly did. There’s something so refreshing and soothing about this amazing vegetable.

From chilled soups to smoothies, sandwiches to salads, cucumbers can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Roll them with seaweed and rice or eat them by the slice; cucumbers are a treat. They are also nourishing for your body and health. Here are some significant health benefits of eating cucumbers.

7 Reasons Why Your Family Needs Cucumbers

1. Cucumber Hydrates

Eating cucumber hydrates the body almost as much as drinking H20 does; cucumbers are made up of a whopping 90% water!

We all forget to hydrate sometimes. Remind yourself to drink water by making this hydrating, beautifying spa drink: Simply fill a pitcher with distilled water and add 5-10 cucumber slices. Keep the pitcher chilled in the fridge for best results. You will find yourself drinking more water because it tastes so delicious!

2. Cucumber Freshens Your Breath

Defeat odor causing bacteria in your mouth with this ancient Ayurvedic method; place a cucumber slice on the roof of your mouth and leave it there for two minutes. According to Ayurveda, cucumber has cooling properties and releases excess heat in the stomach, which is what causes bad breath to occur.

3. Cucumber Fights Cancer

Cucumber is packed with cancer fighting antioxidants. It is also full of lariciresinol, pinoresinol and secoisolariciresinol. These chemical compounds may reduce several types of cancer, included breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and prostate cancer. How amazing is that?

4. Cucumber Feeds Your Body Vitamins

Cucumbers contain vital nutrients that the body craves and requires to thrive. They are loaded with high levels of vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B. These vitamins work to improve our immunity; they also impart beautiful skin and hair. Try adding cucumber to your juices and smoothies for an extra boost of nutrition.

5. Cucumber Helps Diabetics

Cucumber is an especially excellent food choice for diabetics; cucumber contains the hormone needed by the pancreas for making insulin in the body. Patients should eat up!

6. Cucumber Helps the Brain

Cucumbers are anti-inflammatory and contain fisetin, a flavonol that is central to proper brain health. Fisetin improves memory and protects nerve cells from the decline that comes with aging. It has also been shown to prevent learning impairments and progressive memory in mice with Alzheimer’s.

7. Cucumbers are Effective for Weight Loss

Low in calories and filling because of it’s water and fiber content, people wanting to lose weight are welcome to eat as much cucumbers as they want.

By incorporating cucumbers into your family’s diet, you can drastically improve their health and well being. More importantly, cucumbers are the perfect addition to any salad, sandwich, or even water recipes.

The following five habits are common in people who usually keep an eye on their health, but because of them, but still get fat. Eliminate them from your daily routine and reduce fatty deposits. Your health will be improved as well.

You do not drink enough water

Dehydration slows down your metabolism, which makes it difficult to lose weight. Do not wait to have your throat dry. Drink water often.

You are eating out

Food in the restaurant is full of fat, salt and sugar -- three things that give a flavor of the food and sell it. Therefore, you enter more calories than you need. All you have to do is cook at home, it will be healthier and it will surely have less calories.

Remember the only difference between your salads and sauces you buy in the city is that you might spend more time on making yours, but it’s at least 10 times healthier than the one you will buy at restaurant.

You’re not getting enough sleep

Many of us suffer from insomnia, and many don’t know that it is most often a consequence of the consumption of lots of caffeine and eat unhealthy food. Don’t eat or drink coffee three hours before going to bed.

Busy lifestyle doesn’t burn calories

Stress is actually weight- gainer. Chronic stress causes a chronic increase in cortisol levels in the blood.

This slows down metabolism and leads to cravings for food (emotional overeating). It is also associated with accumulation of fat in the abdominal region.

You are doing the same exercises all the time

Each time you exercise, you perform one and the same exercise, you use the same equipment, the same rhythm. As a result of these routines your progress with burning fat will slow down or even stop.

The body gets used to the effort and you stop losing weight. But you do not need other exercises, it is sufficient to accelerate the pace and intensity of exercise.

Try to constantly change the speed and intensity, so that the muscles are constantly tweaking. Or you can perform something completely new – you can find tons of exercises on the internet!

If you are on a mission to lose a few pounds, you specifically need to know what you should avoid doing. Experts recommend five things which you can not do if you want to lose some weight.

Don’t see the exercising only as a obligation
If exercising is something you do with no good will, rather than with desire and enthusiasm, you can get bored quickly, and it will counter productively affect your exercising- the training will only be hard and it will drain you physically and mentally.

Because of that, find something which will be fun and interesting. If lifting weights is not suited for you, choose something else like running, group activities like aerobics, P90x, etc.

Eating abundant dinner
For dinner you should eat lighter foods or food that will be easily digested by the organism, like salad, chicken and soup.

Otherwise, you will overload the organism with heavy and greasy foods that will be hard to digest, and which will also be deposited because you will not have time to burn it.

Starting this dinner will gradually make you gain a routine of consumption and satiety with lighter food seven during other meals, which will positively affect your health and the battle with excess weight.

Same workout every day
The same types of exercises every day can be monotonous, and with this you will kill the desire for physical activity.

Therefore, change the type of exercises, for example on Monday exercise in a finesse hall, on Tuesday run, on Wednesday do aerobics and so on.

Besides having dynamic and interesting exercises, you will also use the full potential of your body, with different types of exercises.

Skipping meals
Although you may think that skipping a meal will help you lose weight, this is not recommended by experts.

Instead of starving, eat healthier foods or snacks like cornflake bars that will give you satiety, while you give the body a healthy balanced “fuel” for its operation.

Underestimating the easy exercises
If you consider some exercises as easy, it does not mean that they are not important -- each exercise is a good exercise if it is done properly and continuously.

Therefore, even when you have no energy for a complete training, you can always take a walk or do some yoga exercises at home, which are sufficient and will make a difference.

Scientists have conducted studies which show that October 13-Th shouldn’t be the only day when women don’t wear bras. In fact, they urge women to throw away their bras forever.

According to scientists, wearing bras from a young age (which is very common nowadays) doesn’t help support the chest and doesn’t prevent breast sagging. Also, the whole concept of bras later resulted in back pain. Not wearing a bra on the other hand, greatly supports breast tissue and promotes tone.

The effect of bras was studied for a period of 15 years on 330 women from ages 18-30. The study showed that breasts don’t benefit in any way from denied gravity but even worse – they get saggy.

The study was led sports scientists Jean-Denis Rouillon. He found in his interview that women that didn’t wear bras had perkier breasts.

Researcher Jean-Denis isn’t the only one making such claims. Other professionals such as Dr. Stafford Broumand also stated that not wearing a bra will lead to increased collagen production and elasticity, which naturally provides a lift for the breast of younger women.

But of course there is always someone that opposes these statements and doesn’t agree with them.

Deborah Orr from the Guardian stated that not all women wear bras for physiological, anatomical or medical purposes but instead for psychological, practical and aesthetic reasons. According to her, many women wear bras to stop the breasts from wobbling around, which make bras a necessity.

But nonetheless, some women have already started to pick sides. Take a look at the video below from a woman that decided to do a transition from a bra to no-bra.

Walnuts contain the most antioxidants from all nuts. And when it comes to food that is healthy for the heart, walnuts are among the three healthiest foods.

Moreover, they are rich in fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. So you don’t have to wonder that the results of various studies suggest that regular consumption of nuts can reduce the risks of heart disease, some forms of cancer and diabetes type two.

In the latest study at University of Scranton , were analyzed the antioxidants in several types of nuts: Indian walnuts, almonds, pistachios, Brazilian nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts and peanuts.

Walnuts were ranked above all nuts. Only a handful of these amazing nuts, contain almost two times more antioxidants than the same quantity of any other nuts. Unfortunately, people do not consume enough nuts. Our research has shown that if we want to live healthy life, we have to consume a lot of walnuts.

The advice of the experts is that we have to eat fresh, not processed walnuts, because it reduces their antioxidant properties. But many people avoid nuts because they think that will gain weight, but they contain healthy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats that do not lead to a blockage of the blood vessels, as well as saturated fats.

Therefore, if you consume nuts, you will not gain any weight, but you will lose weight because they give a feeling of satiety.

“Seven walnuts per day is the ideal amount for maximum health benefit,” concluded Dr. Winston.
