Injury Prevention

When we attended our last fitness convention over in the States, SCW Fitness Mania, in Orlando, Florida, we were intrigued to see how they handled injury prevention.

Any good personal trainer knows that injury prevention and safety is paramount in any fitness program. The most prevalent injury in working with weights is a hyper extension, or a rip or tear of a tendon or muscle due to too much weight combined with over extensions.
For example, leg extensions. At the fitness mania, they were advocating going no further than 45 degrees downward and not to let your feet get below you too far on the seat – in fact they should stay below just the hamstring on the negative. Also, note that one should not ever lock a knee out in any exercise. We see far too much locking of the knees with squats and lunges. Keep that knee slightly bent.

With lunges, the knee should never go ahead of the toe – this again is a hyperextension. We see far too much pressure put on the knee joint with the knee over-extended out over the toe. Notice the two pictures here show the correct form on both the lunge and the leg extension.
But SCW Fitness was also noting that it is dangerous to go heavy on shoulder lateral side raises siting that it really puts too much pressure on your rotator cuff. We agree and we thought we would never see the day that this was mentioned as a dangerous exercise.
The answer to keep away from all injuries is to always train with a certified personal trainer and to never push the limit with weights, both free weights and machines. These are the best ways to avoid injury!

Detox and Cancer Prevention

No study I know of shows definitivly cancer will be prevented if everybody does just this one thing, or eats this one food, or not this other. Since people’s bodies and tolerance are different there will probably never be a “one size fits all” for cancer prevention. Our bodies change substantially during our own life. We go through deteriation and healing.

As beings with the spark of life we are served well by living foods. To gain detox and promote out body’s healing ability choosing fresh vegetables, fruits, grains and beans to be a big part of your daily diet will detox you.

More energy and less disease can be pretty much guaranteed to those who partake in making fresh natural foods, enough rest and exercise, and stress management something to study and practice.

As much as this blog is about body detox recipes doing specific detox activities has to be part of making the best effort to live a healthy and productive live by incorporating healthy habits and working to unload the unhealthy stuff.

Rushing into detox as a way to counter an otherwise unhealthy living experience is much like rushing to your doctor for a “fix me” prescription. I can only imagine how doctors feel when they see an overweight smoker have a serious ailment when he knows it never had to be like that.

Even detoxing and healthy eating will be substantially undermined if a person is not learning to deal better with the stresses life presents to everyone. When you are upset by anything, that is stress. Stress is your reaction to life. Resentment is the worst. It seems a natural reaction yet if followed, the poisons resentment, unforgiveness, and holding ill will generate inside you will fester into a destruction no medicine or fast or herb will fully protect you from.

I appreciate your comments, questions and experiences.
