BACK PAIN - AVOID THESE FOODS OR RISK PAINFUL LOWER BACKACHE.


BACK pain could be prevented by changing your exercise routine or by swapping your sleep position. But, you could also reduce your risk of lower back pain symptoms by avoiding these foods in your diet everyday.
Back pain is a common condition that usually improves by itself within a few weeks or months.

It could be caused by a minor injury, poor posture, or even sleeping in the wrong position.
But, your diet could also be aggravating your back pain, it’s been claimed.
Foods that are high in processed fats or salt could be causing inflammation in the body, which may lead to back pain.
“Believe it or not, your diet can affect your chances of getting back pain, especially if you’re fond of sweet, sugary foods,”

“This is because many foods can stimulate an inflammatory reaction.
“Think alcohol, caffeine, salt and processed fats. Eating too much of these foods can also lead to obesity, which will really place a lot of unnecessary strain on your poor back.
“Instead focus on wholesome healthy foods – fruit, vegetables and plenty of whole grains.
“Really try to increase your intake of vitamin D and calcium. Both of these nutrients are critical when it comes to supporting your bones.”

Some exercises could also help to prevent back pain, said Olayinka Ajibola.
Swimming is one of the best exercises to stop back pain from coming back, as it’s a gentle, low-impact exercise.
It could strengthen your back muscles and improve flexibility, without causing any pain or discomfort, he said.
If you do decide to try new exercises for back pain, you should avoid over-exercising.
Exercising too much could lead to a pulled muscle, which may make the condition worse.

Lower back pain is the most common type of back pain, according to Olayinka Ajibola.
It’s usually nothing to worry about, and should get better by itself over time.
Try taking anti-inflammatory painkillers for short-term relief from back pain.

But, you should contact your GP straight away if you have back pain and a numbness around your genitals.
Difficulty passing urine, chest pain, or a swelling in your back should also be seen by a GP if you have back pain.

How Much Muscle Strengthening Activity Do I Need?

Besides aerobic activity, you should also engage in activities that strengthen your muscles on 2 or more days a week. Muscle-strengthening activity (also known as strength training) should work all the major muscle groups of your body, that is, the legs, hips, back, chest, abdomen, shoulders and arms.

Muscle strengthening activity helps to:

1. Develop stronger muscles and bones.
It increases bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.

2. Control your weight.
As you gain muscle, your body's metabolism rate increases, thus enabling it to burn calories more efficiently.

3. Reduce the risk of injury.
Stronger muscles are able to support your joints better, and preventing them from injury. In addition, strength training increases neural functioning, improving reaction time, thus preventing injurious falls.

Muscle strengthening activity can be done either at home or in a gym.

Examples include:
* Exercises that use your body weight as resistance, such as push-ups, sit-ups, abdominal crunches, pull-ups and leg squats.

* Working with resistance bands. Resistance bands (or resistance tubing) is inexpensive, lightweight and can be bought at stores selling sports equipment.

* Lifting weights.
You can use either free weights such as dumbbells, or work out on the weight machines in a gym or fitness centre.

Muscle strengthening activities should be performed to the point at which it is difficult to do another repetition. A repetition is one complete movement of an activity, like lifting weights or doing sit-ups. You can:

* Perform the muscle strengthening activities on the same or different days that you do aerobic activity.

* Start once a week with lighter weights, completing at least 8-12 repetitions. Over time, start increasing the weight while performing the same number of repetitions.

Muscle strengthening activities should include 8-10 different exercises that work the various large muscle groups.

Let's get active!
Now that you know the types of physical activity for health benefits, it's time to get active. Use the recommendations as a guide to help you in your journey of health and fitness.

Everyone can enjoy physical activity. However, if you have not been active and have a medical condition such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or asthma, do consult your doctor on the type and amount of physical activity suitable for you.

Never Use Ginger If You Have Any Of These Conditions - It Can Cause Serious Health Problems.

Ginger root is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive superfood.

The spice is recommended as a natural medicine for many physical ailments due to its nutrients and health-supporting phytochemicals.

There are situations, however, in which ginger is a less-than-optimal supplement to your diet and can exacerbate an already existing problem.

When To Avoid Ginger Root

Here are some of the situations in which ginger should be avoided because of their risks.

1. Blood Disorders
Ginger root is a blood anti-coagulant that promotes circulation. In the case of some blood conditions like hemophilia (in which blood coagulation does not occur properly), thinner blood can exacerbate the condition, making a small cut into a possibly life-threatening hemorrhage.

Beneficial due to exactly these effects for cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and high cholesterol, it’s best to avoid ginger if you have a blood condition without discussing it first with your healthcare provider.

2. Taking Prescription Medications
A pharmaceutical is formulated to address a specific symptom and is designed to work in a certain way in the body. Drugs come with lists of warnings and potential side effects.

Because ginger root has medicinal properties, some pharmaceuticals don’t mix well with it. So to prevent any risks, side-effects, read the warnings and inform yourself as much as you can for your own safety.

Ginger is a natural blood thinner and reduces blood pressure; it also regulates blood sugar (1). Taken together with medication that is designed to do the same can mean too much of a good thing. Hence, ginger should not be taken with anticoagulants, beta blockers, aspirin, or insulin.

3. Pregnancy
Ginger root tea in early pregnancy has been found to relieve nausea and vomiting.

After the first trimester, however, ginger root should be taken infrequently in very small doses (if at all) because it can induce uterine contractions (2). This, in turn, may result in premature delivery or miscarriage.

On the other hand, it can be usedful when your delivery date has passed and you’re ready to meet your little one face to face.

4. Being Underweight
Ginger stimulates digestion, which is why it is so effective against an upset stomach and other gastrointestinal issues.

If you are significantly underweight, you want to slow digestion and absorb as many nutrients as you can from the food you eat.

High fiber content in ginger root moves foods through the digestive system and other compounds in the root can raise metabolism and promote weight loss.


Thank & God Bless You.

CHOLESTROL AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR HUMAN BODY

People should monitor their diets to live long, cholestrol kills unannounced.

Cholestrol kills faster, when combined with high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes and other life- threatening diseases.

Cholestrol provides Vitamin ‘D’ and hormones, which the body require to function well, adding that cholesterol kills when it is in excess.

” From the angle of a nutritionist, cholestrol exists in human body naturally. It helps in formation of hormones, building Vitamin ‘D’ and other nutrients the body needs for growth. However, cholestrol is bad, when it is too much in the body. That is why a man must run from fatty and organically produced foods, to reduce cholestrol his level and further live long.”

Eggs, yam, beans cake and other fried foods must not become a daily routine, if a man wants to reduce his cholestrol level and live long

I urged people to use Lazer Oil to prepare their foods, the oil is cholestrol free.

People complained about the price of Lazer Oil and forgot the health benefits, such as reduction in the cholestrol level.

The oil is used in United Kingdom and other developed countries.

6 TYPES OF PEOPLE YOU SEE AT THE GYM


No matter if you have been to the gym 200 times or 2 times you can say that you have seen these individuals in your own gym experience.

When you are pumping iron or taking that two-mile jog on the treadmill you can look around and see that you are surrounded by a diverse group of people. We are all there for the same purpose, but you know that you are looking around and you see all types of people. Some of them may be as followed.

1."Those Girls"
While I am at the gym I have seen several different groups of girls stand at one machine that stretches their legs and as soon as they see a guy they will jump on it and push until they get the boys attention. They are doing this to just try to get some gym boy instead of actually going to the gym for its purpose. The gym is not a hookup site -- it is a place to better yourself.

2. Iron Gorillas
You would never see these giants on a treadmill. No way. They came to get swole and that's it. These huge guys can be seen over and over using free weights and only free weights. They are the type of guys that holler like primates when trying to get that last rep in just to show how masculine they are.

3. "Train like a beast, look like a beauty."
That's right; she looks stronger than you and she can lift ten times your weight. These are the girls that come to gym routinely to make sure they stay in shape for their sport. They are passionate about their workouts and keep a straight serious face the entire time. Don't let this fool you though because you know they are blasting Taylor Swifts latest hit in their ears while they are working out.

4. "I'm sexy and I know it."
They at least THINK they are sexy. I have literally seen a guy just walk around the gym showing himself off and he never even touched one weight the entire time. He just went around and flexed in front of girls. They have been told that they were hot their entire life so that blew up their head and now they really think they are hot so what better place to flash yourself off than a gym?

5. Granolas
The granolas are your yoga and cardio lovers. You can see them in a hot steamy classroom hitting the downward dog stance perfectly or meditating about all the different ways to save the earth. Granolas can sometimes be caught leaving an aerobics class every now and then as well, but don't expect to see them pumping any hard iron anytime soon.

6. Me
Finally, you have me. An average dude who is going to the gym for the right reason. To lead a better and healthier life. Sure I may not look like a greek god and on certain machines, my hands may quiver and shake. You may even think I look like I have no idea what I am doing and you are absolutely right because I have no idea what I am doing, but I do know that it is one step to me getting stronger.
