The Anti-Inflammatory Diet

Don’t fuel the inflammatory fire with diet.

The anti-inflammatory diet is a diet that is designed to help reduce inflammation throughout the body. The diet is based on the idea that by eating certain foods, you can help to reduce inflammation that may be causing health problems. The anti-inflammatory diet is based on the Mediterranean diet, which is known to be healthy and anti-inflammatory.

The anti-inflammatory diet focuses on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. It also recommends avoiding processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats.

Some of the best foods to eat on the anti-inflammatory diet include:

-Fruits: Berries, citrus fruits, apples, pears

-Vegetables: Dark leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, tomatoes, onions, garlic

-Whole grains: Brown rice, quinoa, oats

-Healthy fats: Olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds

The anti-inflammatory diet can help to improve overall health and reduce the risk of diseases that are caused by inflammation. It is a healthy and sustainable way to eat, and it can be tailored to fit any individual’s needs and preferences.

Sprinting

The key to getting a higher top speed

Sprinting is one of the most important exercises an athlete can do to develop a higher top speed. It is a plyometric exercise that uses the athlete’s own body weight to create resistance and improve explosiveness.

Sprinting also helps improve an athlete’s stride length and frequency, both of which are important factors in running speed. Sprinting is a great way to improve an athlete’s overall speed. It is a very explosive exercise that uses many of the same muscles used in running.

The Deadlift

Want to be an athlete? Better deadlift….

Deadlifting is a weightlifting exercise that involves lifting a weight off the ground from a bent-over position. It is a common exercise in weightlifting and bodybuilding. Deadlifting can be safely performed if proper form is followed.

The most important part of deadlifting is maintaining a neutral spine. This means keeping the spine in a natural position, not rounding or hyperextending. When the spine is in a neutral position, the weight is distributed more evenly, which reduces the risk of injury.

To maintain a neutral spine, keep the shoulders back and the chest up. Tighten the abdominal muscles to keep the spine stable. When lifting the weight, use the legs and hips to lift the weight, not the back.

If the weight is too heavy, it can cause the back to round. This can cause injuries such as disk herniation and spinal cord compression. If the weight is too light, the muscles will not be challenged and the exercise will not be effective.

The best weight to use for deadlifting depends on the person’s strength and experience. Start with a weight that is challenging but not too heavy. As the person becomes stronger, they can increase the weight.

Hip Arthritis

Hip osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause pain and alteration of normal biomechanics. The exact causes of osteoarthritis have not yet been fully identified. It is completely normal to have a mild level of osteoarthritis as you age. However, more advanced stages of osteoarthritis can affect the ability to perform physical activities, which may include activities of daily living.

An exacerbation of symptoms usually occurs during a period when the level of physical activity has increased drastically. Direct trauma to the hip can increase symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Treatment of hip arthritis consists of Class IV Laser Therapy, management of any biomechanics stresses in the area and exercise rehabilitation to address any weaknesses that can be putting undue stress on the area.

Advanced Hip Opening

Alex Simone (https://twitter.com/SimoneBaseball) shows us some great advanced hip openers for athletes to use to prep for training. When getting your hips and body ready for training or competition we need to consider which movements our sport uses and how we can mimic those movements as part of our prep work.

Baseball, football, hockey and many other athletes will benefit from this type of prep work both on the day of competition and as an addition to their daily routine.
