OW!by Dr. Kenneth May

What causes the "ache" in a muscle,or a group of muscles, or what incitesthe muscle to express itself in aches andpains? Thi s is a good question, so let'ssee if it can be properly answered forthose who enjoy the active sports, orjust help the little lady with thoselaborious tasks around the house. Thesepoints should be of help to you.

Muscular contractions produce fatiguepoisons, derived from muscle protein,the chief agent in causing fatigue , andconsequently the ache and pain.

Because of the uric acid, one of sev­eral fatigue poisons, there is infusion ofthe tissues . This is simply poisoning­toxins in the muscular system.

Relief : Warm bathing and mild exer­cise does help to remove the "ache" fromthe muscle. Yes, it will be achy, butforce yourself to exercise to speedilyextirpate the muscle poisons.

Massage, too, is beneficial by supply­ing the aching muscle with fresh blood,consequently freeing the muscle of uricacid .

Exercise makes possible a swift andcomplete removal of waste from thebody, and increases the oxygen whichentails an accelerated combustion , theburning process. It stirs up the fatiguepoisons and promotes their elimin ation .

Exercise affects the excretion ofmuscle waste products through the skin.

Remember, the skin is more than acovering of the body. It is the exit doorfor poisonous toxins.

Through perspiration the uric acid orfatigue poison, is elim inated. The pers­piration-sweat-which the skin excretesis four times more poisonous than urine.

With the stimulation of the skin, the"ash of life' s fire" is eliminated.

Elderly Athletes (Cont' d)

leashed . Some of it must have been storedup for years! It certainly was obviousthere is a lot of pep still left in some ofthe "elderly" men . Just in case someof you wonder what volleyball is, it's acousin to basketball. The game was in­vented in 1895 by a man who felt basket­ball was too tiring for some people .This very simple game which requ ireslittle or no running is perfect for thosewho may feel they can 't exercise. Thisgame doesn't require any special gear.Just bring yourself and a pair of sneakers.
