Childhood Fitness Reduces Risk of Adult Metabolic Syndrome.

According to #health experts, nearly one quarter of adults currently suffer from metabolic syndrome, which places them at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 #diabetes. In a new study, investigators found that children with the highest muscular fitness (strength, endurance, and power) at ages 9-15 years had an 80% lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome in adulthood than those with lower #muscular #fitness levels during #childhood.

If your family struggles to eat enough veggies, there are simple and easy ways to sneak them into almost any meal. The American Heart Association suggests the following to increase vegetable intake: shred veggies such as beets, parsnips, and zucchini and add them to pasta, baked goods, or other favorite recipes; substitute cooked, ground mushrooms for about half of the ground meat usually used in food items such as meatballs, meatloaf, or burgers; cook and puree butternut squash, carrots, or sweet potatoes and add to macaroni and cheese; puree your favorite beans into a nutritious dip and serve with whole-grain crackers or baby carrots; and blend a brightly colored, nutritious smoothie with a banana, milk or yogurt, spinach, sweet potatoes, or beets.

When done correctly this is a great anterior chain exercise to help stabilize your trunk. As with any exercise, if it causes pain, stop and call your healthcare/rehab provider.

The normal walking or running cycle begins with your heel striking the ground. As you transfer your body weight onto the front part of your foot, the arch of your foot naturally flattens slightly. This is called pronation.

The tissues that help maintain the arch of your foot are exposed to tremendous stress and may eventually break down. The loss of the normal arch of your foot results in a condition called “overpronation” or flat feet. This condition most commonly develops over a long period of time from repetitive stress.

Overpronation by itself is not painful, but the problem often leads to secondary problems, which may be painful. Plantar fasciitis, foot pain, shin splints and problems in the knee, hip or lower back are all related to overpronation. Patients who carry excess weight are more likely to develop this condition.

To help support your foot, you should wear shoes with good arch supports consistently. In some cases, specially molded orthotics may be needed to help support your arch.

Are you sitting too much? Is it causing or exacerbating your low back pain? Check this out……

Don’t fret over the time it takes to #exercise during the day. You don’t always
need to get all your exercise in one session. Ten minutes in the morning, at
noon, and at night can give similar benefit as 30 minutes all at once http://ow.ly/i/yMfOa
