Protecting Your Children

By Dr. Jason Fowler

The growing awareness of safe driving and state safety laws have alerted the general public and parents to the importance of using car seats for their small children whenever and wherever they are driving. Most states require the use of car seats for children under the age of 4 and weighing less than 40 pounds. These safety rules aimed at protecting children may cause serious neck and spinal injuries and can even be deadly if the child car seats are used incorrectly.

The American Chiropractic Association, its Council on Occupational Health and ACA member Dr. Michael Freeman, trauma epidemiologist and clinical assistant professor of public health and preventive medicine at the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine, have developed the following general guidelines and safety tips to ensure proper car seat safety.

Make sure the child safety seat is appropriate for the age and size of the child. A newborn infant requires a different seat than a 3-year-old toddler. Car seats for infants should always be rear facing as the forces and impact of a crash will be spread more evenly along the back and shoulders, providing more protection for the neck. Car seats should always be placed in the back seat of the car-ideally in the center. This is especially important in cars equipped with air bags. If an air bag becomes deployed, the force could seriously injure or kill a child or infant placed in the front seat. Make sure the car seat is properly secured to the seat of the vehicle and is placed at a 45-degree angle to support the head of the infant or child. The lap harness should be fastened low, as close to the hips as possible, The harness should never be fastened around the waist. Make certain the shoulder harness is fastened securely and the straps lay flat against the body. Twisted straps can cause additional injury that might prevent the seat from working properly. Use a retention clip (if provided by the manufacturer) when securing a child safety seat with the shoulder harness. The retention or shoulder harness clip is an added safety feature and must be fastened close to the armpit of the infant or child. Borrowing or purchasing a used car seat can be dangerous; there is the possibility of unknown or undetected damage. Car seats that have been in a serious accident should never be used again. Be sure the seat meets federal motor vehicle safety seat standards. Consult the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for that information. All car seats should have an owner's manual and instruction booklet. Be sure the clip between the legs of the child is fastened snugly. While car accidents can be dangerous for all passengers, small children are especially at risk, according to Dr. Scott Bautch, past president of ACA's Council on Occupational Health. "The weight of the head of a child makes the cervical spine much more vulnerable to injury," Dr. Bautch explained. "The infant has little control in the muscles of the neck, and the head can bounce from side to side and fall forward, which can cause serious spine and neck injuries. Children have more flexible upper bodies and shoulders. Make sure the harness comes up, way up, over the shoulders."

Underscoring the importance of proper car seat use, a recent article in Nation's Health reported the findings of a study conducted in Kentucky by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study found a 37 percent drop in infant fatalities since the 1982 enactment of the state law mandating the use of child car seats. "To continue this decline, prevention efforts now must focus on the proper use of the seats to maximize their life-saving potential," the researchers said.

The key when traveling with small children is to be aware of and follow these rules and tips to ensure proper car seat safety. And remember everyone: Buckle up!

If you or one of your children have been involved in a serious automobile accident and have neck and back discomfort, you should consider a visit to a chiropractor. - 17273

Organic Gardening - How to Start a Successful Home Garden

By Rhonda Abrons

To ensure your success at having an organic home garden it is very important to start small. This will allow you to learn and become comfortable without being overwhelming.

Begin Small

Edible Landscaping " Plant your vegetable starts among your existing landscape.

Use a Small Bed - For beginners, a bed no larger than 10 x 10 feet is simple to care for and easy to manage.

Use Containers - This method allows your starter plants to be close by and easy to manage. They can be on a porch, balcony or even near some bushes.

Pick the Best Spot

Water - Having water close to your garden allows for easy access. Having to trudge heavy watering cans long distance can be both back breaking and frustrating.

Kitchen - This suggestion is not necessary, but who wouldn't want the luxury of stepping out of their kitchen and picking fresh produce.

Compost - Having the luxury of a nearby compost pile or the use of a wheel barrow can definitely cut down on back breaking work.

Grow What You Want

Identify what you buy " Make a list of the produce you normally buy. These are the plants you want for organic home gardening.

Grow what is expensive " Are there certain vegetables you love to eat, but are very expensive in the store? If the plants will work in your climate zone, try growing them yourself.

Play with variety " With home gardening, you have the freedom to experiment with diverse types of your favorites.

Keep it Easy

Use Plants versus Seeds - Seeds can create frustration for any beginner. To ensure your journey is enjoyable and easy, try using starter plants from your trusted local nursery.

Amend the soil " Make sure you mix your soil with compost, peat moss or other amendments to keep good drainage. Compacted soil wont allow nutrients to the plants or allow the roots to grow. Soggy, clay will rot the root system.

Use mulch " Especially in dry hot weather, mulch will conserve water to your plants. A thick, 2 to 4 inches will discourage weeds that compete for water and nutrients. - 17273

How the South Beach Diet Work?

By Jesse Regan

If you want an easy way to lose weight, then a South Beach diet is what you need. You may think that it is too tolerant and lenient on your appetite to be called an effective diet program. Nevertheless, it has been proven to be the kindest yet just as effective of the all weight loss schemes. It rids anyone of the hunger and its emotional effects associated with dieting. It is unique in the sense that it does not dictate to do without any of the daily meals but it still results into a dieters significant weight loss.

With a South Beach diet, you do not ever go hungry but you do have to keep away from food loaded with starch and sugar. You can still eat anything else without them though. It is because carbohydrates from starch make the blood sugar to shoot up. Then it falls just as quick to make you terribly weak and starving. You can just eat more than you should and gain more weight in the process.

Not one of the 3 phases of the diet requires you to abstain from eating a meal. All that is asked from you is to avoid too much carbohydrates and sweets and take only the right food. You would soon realize that you are indeed losing weight despite the normal meal schedule. When there are not many carbohydrates inside, your body has nothing much to burn but your fats. This makes your effort of losing weight devoid of too much sacrifice.

You will fall in love with a South Beach diet at first sight. The initial phase allows you to continue eating three main meals a day for fourteen days. You can even take your regular snacks if you want to. You just have to make sure that not anything with starch like pastries and rice are part of the menu. Unconsciously, you are training yourself to carbohydrate-less meals. However, you are also not permitted to drink anything with alcohol.

The second phase may even appear more liberal. After someone gets used to a diet of no bread and other starchy delights, he is allowed to take them again in small amounts. The dieter will find out that after two weeks breaking the habit, his cravings for these foods is practically gone. The weight loss may not be much felt but one can sense that his appetite has changed much that his body itself would sound alarms should he take more starch and sugar.

The third phase is actually the beginning of a healthy and fitness-conscious life. Unlike the first two phases, this one has no timeframe. By this time, he has already the desired weight as a result. The dieter would actually no longer effort of limiting food since it has become his lifestyle. With eating habits totally transformed, he is assured of a healthy body for the rest of his life. You just heard one great example of valuable information about weight lifting diet . - 17273

Weight Loss Tips

By Hallie L. Willis

Other than physical appearance weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical incapabilities. There are a lot of positive changes once a person experience weight loss. It is for this reason why a lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will surely trim down those fats and get a super slim head turner body.

The first thing that an over-weight should do is seek a doctor to recommend the best weight loss regimen. This will be done after a full physical examination, which leads to the determination of proper weight loss technique. And to lose weight fast and effectively four aspects of life should be changed: what to eat, how to eat, behavior and activity level.

Here are fast tips that can change an over-weight's life:

First: Fast weight loss composes of a multi-faceted technique that consist of mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Begin by learning a diet food plan that can easily be accustomed with. Incorporate an exercise plan that allows even at least fifteen minutes a day like brisk walking, running, swimming, and dancing.

Second: Set realistic approaches. The ability to focus and have proper mindset enables someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. With discipline and proper mind set, a dieter will never be discouraged and lose focus.

Third: Listen as the body speaks. Each and everyone's body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body's reaction. Exercise program must be suitable to one's body, as others are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk for this is proven the best exercise. Muscles burn more calories than fats so it's also best to put on a little muscle and looking good too.

Fourth: Eat more fibers for it makes a person full sooner and stays in the tummy longer, slowing down the rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar that spikes the body's insulin level. Thus, making the body more energized and ready to tell the body when it should stop burning fats or start storing.

Fifth: Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a great amount of fat. Although fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when a beef is fried. It is recommended for those on strict diet to opt for grilled food as this does not have or contain less amount of fat after the food is cooked.

Sixth: Takes lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body refreshed. Since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated.

All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and the key to a rapid weight loss success. Light dieting, workout, and right amount of supplementation applied in a regular way everyday will result in faster weight loss than having a massive action only to be followed a return to old habits as this would only lead to gaining more weight than when the weight loss plan has started. - 17273

Am I At Risk For Back Pain?

By Dr. Jason Fowler

Can there be risk factors for back pain? And, if there are, what can I do to keep myself healthy and well? Your chiropractor can help answer these questions and more.

One primary risk factor relates to exercise. Everyone has heard, "if you don't use it, you lose it". If you are not exercising regularly, your back muscles are deconditioned and much more susceptible to injury - the strains and sprains we're accustomed to calling "back pain".

Muscles get stronger when they're required to do work. Also exercise helps "train" the soft tissues around a joint - the ligaments and tendons - these supporting structures "learn" how to withstand mechanical stresses and loads without becoming injured. When you exercise - when you do any kind of exercise - your body gets "smarter" and you're less likely to get those annoying back problems.1

A related risk factor is weak abdominal muscles. When you were a kid, at some point one of your gym teachers probably told you to "suck in your stomach". It turns out that was pretty good advice. Your abdominal muscles support the muscles of your lower back. If your abdominals are weak or if you're not using them - letting them hang out and droop instead of keeping them activated - your body weight has to be held up by the muscles of your lower back. They're not designed to do that - they're designed to move your spine around. And eventually, these lower back muscles will give way under the excess strain. The result is a very painful lower back injury.

There are many easy-to-do exercises for your abdominal muscles. The key is to actually do them - and do them after you're finished doing the rest of whatever exercises you've scheduled for that day. How often? Three times a week is plenty. Abdominal routines are quick - no more than 10 minutes. And, remember to use your abdominal muscles throughout the day. Imagine your abdominals are being pulled in and lifted up. This is not a "tightening" - your thought should be "activate". Your body will know what to do, once you've started adding consistent abdominal training to your exercise routine.

Risk factors for back pain may also be found in your personal and family medical history.2,3 During your initial visit your chiropractor will ask you about accidents and surgeries you've experienced, and discuss any important elements in your family history. An example would be surgery to remove an inflamed galllbladder or appendix or to repair a hernia may result in weakened abdominal muscles. A motor vehicle accident or a fall from a height may have caused injuries that healed with soft tissue scarring.

Learning about potential risk factors and taking appropriate action will help ensure a stronger, more flexible, and healthier lower back.

Six Essential Facts About HGH Sprays

By Alexander Malroy

Our society is bombarded with messages of vitality and youth, and the reason is simple: everyone wants to look and feel as young as possible. The fear of growing old has produced a massive market for cosmetic surgery and dietary supplementation. One of the most popular dietary supplements out there is Human Growth Hormone and many people feel that it truly is the fountain of youth.

HGH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. The production of this hormone peaks during puberty which is why growth spurts frequently occur during this time period. As we age, our bodies produce less of this important hormone.

Various clinical tests have shown that HGH can reduce body fat, improve cellular regeneration and can even lower cholesterol. Recent studies have even linked HGH to improved mood.

HGH can be delivered in three ways, injections, supplements and sprays with sprays appearing to be the most cost effective way and easiest way to self administer. Human Growth Hormone sprays are considered a drug and therefore are regulated by the FDA. It is extremely important that you make sure the spray you use is FDA regulated.

The sprays are administered orally, under the tongue. There are some critics who claim that the HGH molecules are too large to be absorbed orally, but HGH sprays are homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy basically means helping the body heal itself with the goal being no adverse effects to the body. With HGH sprays, the properties of the hormone are transferred to the base solution of the spray, thereby making the body capable of absorbing the hormone.

Almost all HGH sprays are designed to be taken twice daily. This regiment ensures that each spray has a relatively low amount of HGH to help ensure that the user does not overdoes. Taking too much HGH can result in high blood pressure, joint pain and even diabetes.

HGH sprays deliver this powerful hormone directly into the body. Since the these liquids have no fillers they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Exercise and proper diet are excellent ways to help keep your body functioning well and slow down the aging process. The HGH spray might be an extra piece of insurance to help keep you feeling younger longer. - 17273

It is general knowledge that cows are herbivores that consume grass alone but for our selfish gains, people began to feed them corn and soy. They require antibiotic shots on a daily basis because they are more vulnerable to bacterial infections thanks to this force feeding. This is done to make them gain more body weight in lesser time. But feeding them corn actually makes them less healthy because it increases the level of saturated fat in their body.

Authentic grass-fed beef can be bought from reliable stalls at a farmers market.

2. Turkey bacon. Who says you cant have bacon? Your Washington, DC personal trainer considers the turkey bacon as one the best ingeniously created foods for the health-conscious! It may not be as tasty as the hailed, but it sure can leave your mouth watering for it. Its tasty, protein-rich and low in calories! Eat it with your favorite veggies if you start to feel guilty about putting it in your mouth!

3. Shrimp. Lets add some Seafood to our menu. Shrimp is a rich source of Vitamin D, B12 and Selenium. These are helpful in developing strong bones, releasing high energy and rich anti oxidant providers. Shrimp is also a low fat and low calorie food suitable for heart patients and those who are on a diet. Two minutes is all the time you need to cook them.

4. Farm-fresh eggs. Just like beef, all types of eggs aren't the same. Farm eggs are quite different from the usual eggs that are available in the market. These eggs differ both in color and nutritional values. Farm eggs are low in cholesterol and fat content and are packed with omega-3, vitamin A and vitamin E. They come from grass-fed chickens and are easily available at a farmers market.

5. Berries. Berries are like little treats that come in fun shapes and colors. They are very good for your health not only because they are low in calories and even low in sugar but also because they are a great source of vitamin C, potassium, flavonoids, phytochemicals, folate and some calcium.

6. Cauliflower. This vegetable is rich in glucosinolate and thiocyanate that is helpful in neutralizing the effects of toxins on the liver. This also controls bad cholesterol levels in the body because it contains indole-3-carbinol a phytonutrient that reduces the secretion of LDL carrier that transports bad cholesterol to our tissues.

7. Spinach. This green leafy vegetable is famous for being an anti cancer agent. It is helpful in lowering blood pressure because it contains magnesium and is also good for your eyesight because it contains lutein. It is also rich in beta carotene, Vitamin C, vitamin K and iron. This leafy vegetable is recommended by your personal trainer from Washington, DC as it is low in calories and completely fat free.

8. Metabolic Drive. It comes in the form of a powder which can be used to make protein shakes. The excellent taste and mesmerizing flavor of this protein shake will probably make you wonder how can something that tastes that good actually be good for you. This drink is low in carbs and high on proteins and also an excellent source of energy.

9 & 10. Tamari Almond and Sugar-free chocolate. Everybody deserves a healthy treat! Almonds may be too bland for most peoples liking, but not tamari almonds! These contain vitamin B3, manganese, protein and tryptophan (an essential in building serotonin--- a hormone that helps us sleep soundly and achieve a stable mood). Sugar-free chocolates completely redefine what chocolates should be--- cocoa-rich and less sugar-y! Cocoa beans are rich in anti-oxidants, flavonoids and good (essential) cholesterol.

If you want to get in shape the right way, you shouldn't be afraid of trying out healthy food for a change. Your Washington, DC personal fitness trainer will help you lose weight and enjoy your food at the same time. - 17273
