DON’T WORK THROUGH THE PAIN
We’ve been brainwashed into working through pain. It’s noble. Remember the coaching adage, “No pain, no gain.” I’m the first to say that there are some instances when you have to work through pain…like when you need to run from the saber-toothed tiger even though you sprained your ankle. Run or be dinner. But we don’t live in that world. We live in a world of self-inflicted activities, which sometime result in pain and injury. If your livelihood depends on working through pain, then in some cases you have to do what you have to do. But when it comes to recreation and exercise…my recommendation is that with any…

And someone on Facebook just messaged me about a treatment for cramps, so it’s time.

I’m talking about leg cramps experienced mainly at night by those over the age of forty. I’m talking about the cramps that suddenly make your foot look like the banned lotus blossom…

WE CHANGE AFTER 40!
Ugh! It’s a forgone conclusion, and there’s not much you can do about it. We change after 40, and even more so after 50! Most of the changes are predetermined by your genes, and there’s little you can do to change that. Thank you mom and dad. But some of the changes are influenced by lifestyle, and we might be able to do something about that. Check out this article from Mother Nature Network. Of course I had something to say about it… http://www.mnn.com/health/fitness-well-being/stories/6-ways-womans-body-will-change-when-she-turns-40
