Don’t Drink Your Food: More on the Benefits of Chewing

I introduced some of the benefits of chewing in the last post. Did you know that chewing is becoming a lost practice in some fitness circles?

The dangers of not using the jaw muscles to chew outweigh the value of always drinking for nutrition, especially in youth. Let’s look at the link between chewing and your health.

New Year Revolution

Happy New Year!
I want to start a new year revolution about the topic of stretch vs. exercise.
We all need to start something new usually at this time of year, it just lends itself to beginning again. Exercise programs are started every year but rarely are we able to keep up or follow through with them. Because most of them are based on the fact that the body is healthy and ready to be worked out at a mid range level. Only after the person starts and begins to feel weak, ill, or unable to complete simple tasks that the program is stopped. Well, I have a solution, start with stretch and you can heal your body and then start a program that will take you to that long awaited goal.

Knee injury's can be the result of doing good healthy activities such as exercise,skiing, and dancing. The problem is often a balance issue not a over use or a weight issue as so many would have you believe all problems to stem from.
Some very simple balance stretches can make all the difference in how and what your knee can accomplish for years to come.
