Foods to Avoid With IBS - 3 Surprisingly Simple Steps To Getting Rid Of Your IBS Symptoms Fast

By Alison Harris

Imagine you are at a party, enjoying yourself, mingling with friends and family and really having a good time.

You could not have wished for a better ending to the day when all of a sudden you feel a tightness in your stomach. It is a strong pain that grips you right in the stomach and the next thought you have is "where is the toilet?"

Sadly you know what it is. It is the pain and diarrhea associated with your irritable bowel syndrome. You know something you have eaten has triggered that pain and diarrhea but unfortunately you do not know which food it was.

You know right from that minute that your evening is over.

Later on in this article I will reveal a resource that will provide you with the most comprehensive list of foods to avoid with IBS but we will look at 3 things you can you do to help your irritable bowel syndrome.

1. Gluten: This is a protein that is commonly found in a lot of grains including but not restricted to wheat, oats, rye, spelt, and barley. The first thing you need to do is go on a gluten free diet for about 2 weeks.

This means you have to pay attention to the foods you eat and read food labels and even over the counter medications because some of the foods and medications that you least expect may contain gluten.

You should see a noticeable improvement in your symptoms once you eliminate this protein from your diet.

2. Coffee: I used to suffer from IBS myself so I have experienced some of the symptoms e.g. gas, bloating, stomach making noises, spastic contractions of the colon, stomach cramps etc.

I noticed a significant improvement in my IBS symptoms the very next day I stopped drinking coffee.

You see coffee is an acidic food and it will increase the acidity of your stomach. If you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, it is important that your stomach is not too acidic.

One of the ways you can reduce your stomach acidity is by consuming more alkaline foods.

3. Tailor your diet to your personal biochemistry: This means that you have to eat according to your nutritional type. We are not all designed alike and one diet does not fit all.

This means you have to know your specific nutritional needs according to your personal biochemistry,metabolism and genetic makeup.

We have touched on 3 steps to IBS freedom but there is a comprehensive list of foods to avoid with ibs and other simple steps you can take that will ensure you never experience any of the symptoms of IBS again. - 17274

Back Pain Is No Longer An Adult Problem: Four Reasons Children Suffer With It

By Dr. Robert A. Simmons

Many parents are reporting that children are starting to have back pain at younger ages. This may be due to several factors. The children of today are leading different lives than most of us did when we were children. They spend much more time in sedentary positions than they do participating in activities.

One of the most overlooked sources of back pain in children is sleeping habits. Many kids simply do not get enough rest. They usually require 8-10 hours per night. This amount of time is important for the body's systems to restore themselves. Sleeping position is very important. Lying on your stomach places stress on the low back and neck. The best positions to sleep in are on your side or on your back. As a charlotte chiropractor, I have seen the effects of sleep deprivation on both children and adults.

Second, children must use backpacks to carry all their school supplies and books. As parents know, these bags can get very heavy because schoolteachers hand out subject books for children to use at home and in class. Many schools have eliminated the extra time between classes for safety reasons, thus not allowing students the time to visit their lockers to get and put away books.

One great solution is to see if they have downloadable versions of books. Some schools are switching to this method. If your child is using a book bag, make sure that they use both straps. The bag should be up high and tight to the body to reduce back strain. The proper weigh of a child's book bag should be no more than 10 % of their body weight.

While shoulder and waist strap backpacks are the best things available, kids may not want to apply both of them correctly. Parents have the option to purchase roller bags to take the strain off the back. However, children need to be advised to switch arms often to keep the chest muscles from being overstretched.

Games/Computers - Low back pain can be attributed to computers and video games. Many kids are sitting in one spot for a long time with very little back support. Since this is a cause of back pain, parents must limit how long their child is using the computer or playing games.

An often overlooked area of injury to kids is sports. Since children are very resilient, many of their injuries are overlooked. The pain usually goes away rapidly, but an injury may still remain. Parents should not be embarrassed about seeking healthcare for any possible injury. Take extra care when overlooking any sports injuries or falls. Better safe than sorry!

A child's doctor may conduct a postural exam that can detect any abnormalities. If any are found, the doctor will suggest a medical treatment designed to fix the problem (so long as it's not too late). The best treatment children can do themselves is to prevent back pain in the first place. By following these simple tips, a child won't have to deal with back pain at the immediate moment. - 17274

4 Nutrition Hacks For Arm Fat

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Small little adjustments here and there can really add up over time when it comes to losing arm fat. And knowing which adjustments to make will make life much easier for you.

The bad news is that you might be jaded by all the false promises and bogus marketing out there. After all, every marketer seems to be out for a quick buck with the rising obesity epidemic.

Luckily for you, I?ve already sifted through all the nonsense and I know what works. And I want to show you what I?ve learned.

Thus, here are some nutrition tips for arm fat loss:

1. Don?t be afraid of saturated fat. What you?ve been told about saturated fat is NOT true. In fact, plant saturated fat should be a regular part of your diet. Coconut oil and coconut flakes are my top recommendation here.

2. Drink small portions throughout the day. You have to drink small amounts of water during the day, not just with meals. They have to be small amounts because too much at once goes straight to the kidneys. And make sure you have some in between meals because that?s when your body becomes dehydrated as a result of digestion.

3. Have a little stimulant. Caffeine is your best option here. Have a little before working out and enjoy the benefits of faster muscle firing and delayed fatigue. Having supercharged workouts will keep you burning an excess of calories many days after. And more calories burned equals more arm fat lost.

4. Take in as much cinnamon as possible. But NOT all cinnamon is created equal. Stick to Ceylon cinnamon, also known as true cinnamon. This type has the highest antioxidant potential, the lowest toxicity levels and the most insulin effects. Try to have cinnamon with your biggest meals.

If you apply the above tips, you?ll definitely have an edge when it comes to losing arm fat. So make sure you take action on this advice and don?t let it sit in the back of your brain. Act now to get results tomorrow! - 17274

Body Building: Can I Do It At Home?

By Ricardo d Argence

Many aspiring bodybuilders want to know if they have to join a gym to get a good workout. Of course, the answer to that is no. While there are both advantages and disadvantages to working out either at home or at the gym, there's no reason you can't get just as good of a workout at home as at the gym-if you do it right.

Usually if you go to a gym, you'll have access to lots of different equipment and there will be professionals there who can provide you with good training advice. It may also be safer because other people are around. On the other hand, it can get annoying waiting for equipment you want to use or listening to other users at the gym just sitting around gossiping.

As regards working-out at home, there are many benefits to this: no fee (my favourite), no hassle travelling there and parking, workout with your shirt off, you can play your own music, no queuing for equipment and you don't have to worry about what other people are thinking about you when you are shouting at the bar for motivation.

The biggest drawback to a home gym is that you have to buy all the equipment, and that can be pricey. (Although you may be able to resell it in the future if necessary.) The other downside is that other people who live with you may not appreciate all the space it requires.

Working-out at home allows you to build muscle mass at your convenience and if you go by the following how to build muscles fast at home guidelines you should not have a problem working-out at home:

1) Find a suitably large space, such as a garage, basement or spare room. You should always have a solid ground floor which means that a ground floor is a much safer option. A bonus would be a well ventilated area. Fully water proof your garage, this will stop them your weights from rusting and becoming damaged.

2) Permanently remove any easily damaged objects. Youtube provides and amusing clip of a young guy swinging his barbell into the fish tank which splinters into pieces! Funny of course unless it is your tank. Try to get a permanent set training spot, this will prevent any future mistakes like this. Imagine slipping a barbell into the screen of a plasma tv ot dropping a dumbell on a new laptop, not too much fun.

3) Buy the basic equipment to start. You will want to purchase a weight bench, a workout mat, a set of cast iron barbells/dumbbells, a pull up bar, and a squat stand. Be sure you select a good brand of high quality for long life and durability.

4) Create a workout for yourself. Using the equipment you've purchased, design a workout to build your muscles. Do compound exercises that combine squats, pull ups, bench presses, and dead lifts with sets of upright rows, lunges, barbell curls, shoulder presses, bent over rows, and lateral raises, among other exercises.

5) Keep it safe. Always lift with a spotter-even in your own gym-or take extra safety precautions. For instance, don't push for extra reps when you're getting tired. And install pins on lifts so that you can set barbells down above chest level and extricate yourself from the machine without crushing yourself.

So, by following the above ?how to build muscle home guidelines' you can have a great workout, build heaps of muscle mass and all in the convenience of your own home. - 17274

Moms and Dads and HCG

By Amelia Handley

According to recent statistics there are many obese adults in America. The numbers of obese Americans continue to rise. While we, as a society, know this...we don't seem willing to alter our lifestyle to eliminate or slow down the problem's growth. And it's not only the adult population that is suffering. We've got a noticeable obesity issue amongst the American youth as well.

Things are very different than they were 50 years ago...or even 15 years ago. Kids are eating things out of boxes and plastic wraps far more often than they're eating anything fresh. Kids are feeding themselves rather than enjoying a home cooked meal made from scratch from fresh ingredients. And when our kids are in charge of preparing their own meals...it's no surprise that the majority will reach for a boxed meal rather than learning to whip up something healthy for their dinner.

Children don't spend as much time outside. It's not as easy to send children out on their own as it was in the past due to safety issues (it's hard to ignore the daily news) and in some cases...proximity issues. Many live in cities where there really isn't a "great outdoors" that children can access for outdoor fun.

So the growth of obesity amongst our youth really isn't very surprising. Parents who recognize the problem often feel it's out of their control as many school age children are eating breakfast and lunch at school. The only meal left to regulate is dinner. And even when the problem is identified...some see the creation of healthy meals as a headache that requires a lot of time and more money than the quick and easy alternatives.

HCG Diet Direct urges dieters to share their new knowledge of healthy foods with their entire families. Family members not on the diet should not be limited when it comes to portion size and they shouldn't be required to limit their intake to the items on the HCG approved food list, but incorporating HCG approved foods into the diet of other family members is a great idea and can only benefit the spouse and children of the dieter.

First, you get to enjoy time together as a family during meals when you're all eating together. There are countless studies that point out the widely varied positive results of spending meal times as a family. Second, parents can teach by example. If kids see their parents enjoying healthy foods they are more likely to see it as a viable option in their own lives. And third, children will become accustomed to eating healthy foods. The general rule of thumb is to serve a dish 3 times and even if it wasn't particularly enjoyed the first time...it's typically fully incorporated after the third introduction. Teaching kids to know and enjoy healthy foods will go a long way towards eliminating the issue of obesity; and its an issue that is best nipped in the bud. - 17274

Chiropractic And Aerobic Fitness

By Dr. Jason Fowler

We think mostly of chiropractic treatment in terms of lower back pain, neck pain, and headaches. In fact, there are numerous additional wide-ranging benefits to chiropractic health care. Many of these benefits are related to getting more out of our exercise activities.

For example, aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular function.1,2 During periods of rest the heart rate is slowed and the ability of the lungs to take in air (vital capacity) is increased. A slower heart rate means the heart is working more efficiently. Likewise, increased vital capacity means the lungs are working more efficiently. Fewer heart beats per minute and fewer breaths per minute result in reduced "wear and tear" on these critical systems. Aerobic exercise makes us healthier.

In times of stress, our muscles get tight. Sometimes this tightness is prolonged, and the normal mobility of our bones and joints is compromised. Reduced mobility of the spinal column creates a spiraling effect of tight muscles, tight ligaments, and further loss of mobility in the neck, middle back, and lower back. We experience pain in these areas as a result.3

These patterns may persist. We all know people who have frequent neck pain or lower back pain. These patterns of pain and limited mobility may result in changes to the normal curves of the spine. Normal curves may become flattened. These changes result in further discomfort, muscular tension, and pain.

Importantly, loss of the normal spinal curvature in the neck and middle back may place additional stress on the heart and lungs. The actual physical space in which these organs function may become reduced. Maximum function may be compromised and efficiency is lost. Brisk walking used to be easy. Climbing stairs used to be no problem. Now these normal daily activities may leave you out-of-breath. You're huffing-and-puffing and don't know what's happened.

You begin doing aerobic exercises to try to improve cardiovascular function. But the potential benefits are limited by these underlying muscle, ligament, and joint problems. You spend a lot of time exercising but do not seem to be making any improvements.

Chiropractic care may be able to restore more normal functioning. Chiropractic treatment restores mobility to spinal joints. The gentle treatment relieves stress on the spinal muscles and ligaments, which in turn improves spinal range of motion. Muscle tightness eases, pain and stiffness are reduced, and you become more flexible.

Additionally, this improved flexibility allows your chest and rib cage to expand much more fully when you breathe. Your heart and lungs have more room to function, and you can now actually begin to receive the full benefits of your aerobic exercise.

Chiropractic health care helps you get fit and stay fit!

Magnesium--The Miracle Mineral?

By Neil Butterfield

How can one mineral " magnesium be responsible for good health? And how can a magnesium deficiency be responsible for so many diseases? Magnesium is often referred to as the miracle mineral because it has amazing healing qualities and it can rejuvenate an aging body. It is also able to eliminate many diseases.

Although under publicized, it's magnesium that's responsible for a healthy brain and nervous system. It's even vital to a strong teeth and bones. Calcium alone won't keep your teeth and bones healthy.

Magnesium is wonderful for fighting infection, (hence it's miracle mineral status.) Once, a long time ago, a French doctor used magnesium to cure diphtheria, and ease the symptoms of bronchitis, whooping cough, asthma, pneumonia, emphysema, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, the common cold, influenza, measles, rubella, mumps, abscesses, and many more.

A more modern doctor, Dr. Vergini, not only confirmed all of the above he also updated the list with tetanus, chronic conjunctivitis, herpes zoster, optic neuritis and rheumatic disease. It can also ease the symptoms of CFS, cancer therapies, and fibromyalgia.

For the most part magnesium is found within the cells. There it activates various enzymes and it is also essential for the metabolism, the function of the muscles and nerves, and for forming bones and teeth.

If there is not enough magnesium available a magnesium deficiency occurs. Early signs of a magnesium deficiency include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weakness, and fatigue. As the deficiency increases there can be numbness, tingling, cramps, and muscle contractions. There can also be personality changes, seizures, coronary spasms, and an abnormal heart rhythm. A severe magnesium deficiency causes there to be low calcium levels in the blood and low potassium levels in the blood.

When the magnesium levels were restored, 9 out of 10 people showed a significant improvement in health. The change is usually so drastic that it's referred to as a miracle. That's probably because it's the body's fourth most abundant mineral.

What foods contain magnesium? Spinach, nuts, peas, legumes, seeds, whole grains that have not been refined, halibut, soybeans, fortified cereals, baked potatoes, yogurt, lentils, brown long grain rice, and whole milk all contain magnesium.

Our need for magnesium changes as we get older it's also required in different amounts depending on if you're a man or woman. From 1 to 3 years 80mg a day is recommended, from 4 to 8 years 130 mg is needed, 240 mg a day is need for ages 9 to 13. Men 14-18 years need 410 mg a day, men 19-30 need 400 mg and any man over 31 needs at least 420 mg a day. For women between 14 to 18 years 360 mg a day is the recommended amount. 19-30 year-olds need 310 mg and ages over 31 need 320 mg a day.

There are all sorts of things that deplete our magnesium; gastrointestinal disorders like Crohn's, uncontrolled diabetes, alcoholism, and low blood potassium just to name a few. Medications like antibiotics or diuretics as well as others can also suck up all your magnesium. This magnesium can be impossible to replace through diet alone.

A supplement is the best way to make sure that you're getting the getting the magnesium you need. With a typical compound or even chelated magnesium supplement (a pill) you will absorb less than 25% as opposed to a liquid supplement where you get almost 100% absorption.

Your body need magnesium to be healthy so why not make sure it has enough by taking a liquid ionic mineral supplement? - 17274

Enlarging Arms without Equipment for Men

By Jesse Regan

Men have been oftentimes measured through the size of their arms. It is said that women cannot help take notice of a mans arms that have muscles to boast, creating pleasant impressions of the latter as well. Muscular arms displayed by short-sleeved shirts are enough to attract gazes from women and generate the usual feminine fancies.

Women find mens arms as reflective of their virility. They tend to fantasize being carried by the strong arms of their ideal men and they love the thought of holding on to it towards a wedding altar. Men who are unfortunate enough to have thinner or smaller arms, of course, are out of the picture. There is still hope for them, however. What is needed is just a little sweating out without necessarily spending a dime.

Having a pair of muscular and strong arms is not solely a product of a natural genetic process. Men of lesser brawns can still have it if they just sweat out a little everyday. The key is to tone the muscles in that part of the body and doing routines that would prioritize that area. Going to the gym for workouts and using the equipment can be advantageous. Not only does it have the equipment, one can also get the expert assistance of a fitness trainer there. The routines should not just be of fitness training though. It should be of bodybuilding, growing muscles in the arms area as well as those of the other extremities.

If you think that enrolling in a gym would be expensive and that it would cost you much time as well, then take these suggestions. You do not even have to purchase gym equipments for home use, you already have the best portable instruments there is: your arms. This would cost you nothing but your discipline and perseverance. Of course, you may need a little research to avoid making mistakes. A lot of people suffered sprains and muscle aches for performing the routines wrongly.

The most common method of exercise meant to develop the muscles in the forearm and biceps area is the push-up. This definitely requires no equipment at all except for the floor. One has to make sure though that he performs it in a manner that really puts much of his weight on his arms. The number of reps he can do in the routine should progress every time he feels that he can increase it without straining himself.

After the push-ups, you can also do pull-ups. A horizontal bar or anything else in the house that could offer the same effect can be used for your pull-up. With almost all your weight being carried by your arms, pull-ups are harder. Hence, tone your arm muscles first with push-ups before going into this routine.

Bodybuilding Workouts & Tips, Gain Weight Fast Metabolism With Cardio Exercise

By Ricardo d Argence

When you do cardio, you get your heart rate going and increase blood circulation throughout your body. Cardio exercise is basically whole body exercise that, ideally, should make you breathe harder than usual, get your heart rate pumping, and help you work up a good sweat. It is as necessary for overall health and fitness as anaerobic exercise is.

Cardiovascular exercise gives your heart (the most vital muscle in your body) an excellent workout. When you increase your pulse rate and keep it raised for a period of time, you will increase both your health and your fitness level.

One of the best ways to burn extra calories and reduce your weight is cardiovascular exercise. It'll also give you an overall "toning" for your entire body.

One of the greatest benefits of cardiovascular exercise in regard to weight loss is that your calorie burning benefits don't stop when you stop exercising. In fact, some studies have shown that your metabolism stays at this significantly increased range for up to 18 hours after you finish your workout. And done over a long period of time, because you are toning and making your body more fit overall, it burns calories faster just as a matter of course. That's because as you become more fit, you'll both lose fat and gain muscle, and muscle burns calories even when you are at rest.

Endorphins are your body's natural opiates. They can also help ease depression. Another benefit of cardiovascular exercises is that it releases the so-called "feel-good" hormones called endorphins.

Getting a physical from your doctor to make sure that you are healthy enough to endure vigorous physical activity is something you may want to do before you begin. If your doctor gives you a clean bill of health, go ahead; but, don't go full steam ahead. The idea here is to get started and keep going, so, start slowly by walking just 10 minutes at a moderate pace every day.

You will notice improvement after approximately two weeks as your energy levels rise, your sleep improves and your junk food cravings lessen. Most of all, perhaps, you are going to notice that your mood is a lot more positive. That's great; keep going.

As you become increasingly more fit, it will be necessary for you to create bigger challenges to meet. When you start a good cardiovascular fitness program, it will also be helpful if you eat healthfully, get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated, and make other positive changes for your health.
