Beginning socialization as a puppy is ideal, but many pets arerescued and adopted as traumatized adults, raught with phobias.When these animals come together at the dog park, day care,boarding acility, groomer or veterinary clinic, the stress levelis high!

What about germs? Te best way to know i your pet will beprotected should he become exposed to common communicabledisease is with a blood titer test. In particular, a holistic veteri-narian routinely recommends this test to veriy protection and toavoid excessive vaccination. Remember, not all vaccinated dogs

are protected. Protection is not automatic. A healthy body mustmount an immune response to a vaccine in order to aord theindividual with disease protection.

Just like children, well-ed, well-exercised, healthy pets arenaturally resistant to many microbial insults. Feed your dog abalanced, species-appropriate, resh, meat-based diet. Fresh oodthat contains probiotics, omega-3 atty acids, enzymes, whole ood

vitamins, minerals and antioxidants will aord your pet a protec-tive shield against the world’s germs and toxins.

Pet-to-pet contact can also lead to parasite transmission. Inter-nal worms are contracted via sning stool or licking paws thathave been contaminated with ecal matter. Sning butts doesn’thelp this situation either, but is a natural, unavoidable behavior.External parasites such as mites and eas can pass rom dog to dogor animal environments to your dog.

Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian at least annually tobe analyzed or worms. Tis will allow your vet to deworm yourpet properly. Tere are many types o internal parasites. A monthly

heartworm preventative is not only or heartworm (which corom mosquitoes), but also aids deworming o some ecally trmitted parasites. Some spot-on products deter or kill internaexternal parasites.

igh school athletics has become more popular andcompetitive than ever, and the demands o the athletehave never been more crucial than right now. Tis article

is meant to briey explain how high school athletics, the athletesthemselves, and the need or proper athletic training and peror-mance is at an all-time high.

Competitive sports have been around or centuries, and withthe progression o sport, the athlete has also progressed. Youngathletes these days are stronger, aster and have greater ability toperorm skill sets at a higher level. Because o this, sports them-selves have gotten aster, more physical and, as a result, morecompetitive. Te question in this day and age now becomes how toproperly educate and train our young athletes to not only competeat an elite level, but also to excel at that same level.

Tere are multiple actors such as proper nutrition, speed andagility preparation, cardiovascular training, resistance training,mobility and even supplementation that young athletes need todedicate themselves to when working towards optimal athleticability. We will briey discuss each individual actor and the basicsto success or each one in regards to athletic perormance.

Just like or any o us, the nutritional component or athletes hasmany common similarities. Getting the basics in will help osternot only muscle growth, but also proper energy requirementsor demanding sport movements. Since young athletes are stillgrowing physically, it is imperative to consume meals every 2-3hours that consist o quality protein sources like chicken, fsh, leancuts o bee, etc., complex carbohydrates like grains, beans and

vegetables, as well as good sources o ats. Supplementing with aquality multi-vitamin is also a good idea or athletes since they are

very active and still growing. A crucial element that is oen over-looked is post-workout nutrition. Aer a physical bout o activity,athletes will lose water and many nutrients. It is very important toreplenish these to grow more lean muscle. aking in water and apost-workout meal like chicken breast with brown rice or choco-late milk is a good start. It is important to teach our youth that thesaying “you are what you eat” is as true as it gets. I you want to

outperorm the opponent, you must start with a good diet.Speed and agility preparation is the body’s ability to be ab

speed up and/or stop at any given time to change direction. Esport utilizes speed and agility in some way, shape or orm. Tare many camps out there nowadays that address speed and agwhich is a great frst step. Te key to better perormance is alwtrying to improve on speed and agility exercises that mimicksport/position an athlete plays. Te basic components orathlete to work on to create optimal speed and agility are sorunning mechanics like arm position, oot plant position and po speed, to name a ew. By implementing sport-specifc sand agility drills into a young athlete’s program, he or she wiable to have better control o their body during any sport.

It is more common than ever or today’s athlete to play

or even three sports per year. By playing other sports in theseason, the athlete will be able to keep up with the demands ocardiovascular endurance needed and have a much better trtion or the next season o their desired sport. I your athlete not play an o-season sport, keeping active with running, swming or any other intense activity will also help with this trtion. Proper resistance training and mobility or young athletestill oen underutilized. Sport is a very specifc activity, onerequires specifc strengths, and with that, proper alignment, ibility and mobility. By not training the body properly or the sbeing played, an athlete will have a much harder time advanin skill set and level (i.e., high school ootball to college ootb

So many people are struggling to fndmeaning or value in their work. Or they arestuck in a job that is not their dream, but they eel there are no options to make a change atthis time. Because work takes up so muchtime and energy, workplace problems oencarry over into the rest o our lives.

Question: When I am around people whoare psychic or intuitive, I am araid that they are going to try and see my private thoughts.I want to keep some things private. What doyou think about this?Answer: You need not be araid. Ninety-nine percent o psychics are not mindreaders. You are asking about a true telepath.For a true telepath to make it past adoles-cence without blowing out their uses is rare.Te rare one that does manage to navigateunettered by the chaos that aects most tele-paths, learns at an early age that staying insidetheir own head is much saer. When you gomessing around in someone’s head, you justdon’t come back the same way you went in.A true telepath knows this and stays in their

own head. You see, there is nothing to worry about; your personal thoughts are sae.

Question: So what can a psychic see?Answer: Tat is a big question. Psychicscome in so many varieties. It’s not like on V.Most psychics had no one to teach them; wehad to fgure it out on our own. Most o uslearned to see in our own way, as we see indierent ways. Some pick up just a little, sometoo much. Most never learn to pay attention.

When a young psychic, a clairsentientor example, starts paying attention, he orshe may notice a scent and associate it withdanger over time. Tis young psychic islearning how to use the ability to stay sae. I one develops an interest over time, he or shewill learn to put things together and build analphabet o vibrations. Most young psychicshave not built an alphabet or extensive library and, thereore, do not have a sucient pointo reerence to be able to observe with clarity.

So there is nothing to ear rom amateurs.Tey simply won’t be able to see with clarity.

A psychic that chooses to make it a proes-sion and learn the feld as a way o lie, intime will learn to see more.

I am a proessional psychic or seer. I you come into the store to buy somethingor see me out on the street, what will I see?I will see, or the most part, the same thinganyone else sees. I can tell i one is sad orangry, but then so can most people. Tat’sbecause I will see what is most projected by the person. I have no reason or need to gourther. I learned long ago who I am andwhere I begin, and who another is. I preerto stay in my own head or my own sanity.I don’t like probing people. First o all, I see

probing someone against one’s will as wrong, very wrong. Secondly, I don’t need you in my head or body all day. I am here to live my lieand that is the lie I live.

I one comes in the store and I eel danger,well then I will keep a closer eye on thatperson. I will look at one’s body languageand maybe listen to their voice; but I will notprobe them. Tere are too many reasons why someone may carry the vibration o dangerwith them. One may have gotten somebad news and is eeling vulnerable. Maybesomeone “creeped them out” beore they came into the store, so they came in to eelor be sae. Maybe they are just having a really bad day. Tey may be having a hard timeholding it all together and are trying to hidewhat they eel, hoping no one notices thatthey are araid. Te list o reasons goes onand on. Tat’s too much ino. I have to stay grounded. I need to stay in my own head i Iam going to get through the day.

Te head o the psychic that probes peagainst their will is like a blender on Everything gets all mixed up and the psydoes not know where they begin or enda matter o act, they can’t tell what real or what their own antasy is. It’s kind oa bunch o loud gossips in a small room

just can’t wait to run out. Te psychicprobes others has too much ino and see anything other than conusion.

I you want me to “see or you,” youhave to ask me. We will set an appointmor a reading, which will be done inoce where I can open up. Tis is a pwhere I can eel you and only you. Ittake a ew minutes to start interpreting I am eeling. I have to separate your w

rom your needs; your ears and wants reality; your anger, your sadness and soIt’s not so easy. Not at all like on V. It’s work. Nine out o ten times, when Idone with a reading, I am fne in a mior two. It’s the one out o ten that can on or hours. So, I don’t see much more another unless I am working. A proesspsychic can see. Most o us can’t wait in our own heads so we can live our lives. Te number one rule or a prsional psychic is this: don’t go into the ho another without being invited.

Ask any engineer, and you will prob-ably hear that one o the greatestmechanical creations o all time

is the human body. Te way the pieces andparts are put together … the scope andrange o motion … the ability to sustain andmobilize a air amount o weight … an engi-neering marvel, indeed! But like anythingmechanical, time and wear and tear can causemalunctions and breakdowns. In the humanbody, the places aected most are the joints.

Osteoarthritis, or OA, is the result o losing cartilage — the spongy substancebetween the bones that protects and cush-ions them throughout any and all types o movement. When cartilage begins to weardown, the result is pain, stiness, swelling

and locking. Tis happens more than whatyou might think: OA is the most commonorm o arthritis, and as the leading causeo chronic disability in the U.S., it aectsnearly 27 million people.

While OA can occur within any joint, anoverwhelming majority o patients expe-rience diculty with knees, hips, hands,eet and the spine. ypically, OA is treatedwith a combination o liestyle modifca-tion and analgesics, and in more severecases, non-steroidal anti-inammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and even surgery. Tedrawback to extended use o medications,particularly NSAIDs, is that they make thestomach more prone to bleeding ulcers.Tankully, there is an alternative.

raditional Chinese Medicine (CM)has been treating OA or hundreds o years.Rather than ocusing solely on how to makethe pain and swelling go away, CM targetsthe origin o the ailment. Known as “bi

syndrome” within the Eastern approach, itmaniests as obstructions in the kidney andliver meridians that ultimately impair bloodand qi circulation. Te result is then pain,numbing and stiness in tendons and joints.

Acupuncture continues to be an excel-lent treatment or patients living with OA.Te needles not only clear the pathways,

Te eects can be quite severe or even debilitating, disrupsleep, amily relations and the ability to work. Stress, irritablack o concentration and low quality o lie may be the result

Music can reduce stress and enhance concentration. Te psylogical eects o music have been widely studied.

Not upectedly, noise has turned out to create stress and negatively aconcentration. Several strategies have been tested to see i would improve concentration in noisy environments, incluwhite noise masking and background music.

Te music is to train the brain to make the tinnitus less bothersome. Asame time, incoming sounds can be amplifed as necessary ipatient has a hearing loss. Several hearing aid manuacturers hearing aids or people with or without hearing loss that simwork to alleviate tinnitus. It is recommended that those indivals with tinnitus get a complete audiological evaluation to seehearing aid with a tinnitus program is appropriate.

That nagging ringing you hear in your ears is called tinnitus.Tere is a good chance that the cause is hearing loss, butthe act is that more people have tinnitus than those with

hearing loss alone. Many people have both hearing loss and tinnitus.innitus can be triggered by many actors such as alcohol, nico-

we are being today. Te lines can tell us: how we’re handling responsibility and time; how we’re doing in the material world; how wework with others; how we take orders; how much we lie, trust and have aith; how givingor not giving we are; what we want in a rela-tionship; and so much more. Te “high tech”system o fngerprints, ormed 14-16 weeksin the uterus, is our soul’s intention or this

lietime. It tells us what we’re doing on thisplanet, and what we came to learn and expe-rience. Our prints proclaim our lie purposeand lie lessons. Tey are the “blueprint o our lie path.” It’s startling to realize that we’veliterally been given a map or our lie and wecarry it with us everywhere we go.

Like many maps, it can be flled with anoverabundance o sites to visit and histori-cal/gi markers to learn rom. Similar to auto

journeys when we travel without a map, weoen fnd ourselves lost and overwhelmed.Tomas Edison once said, “I we all did thethings we’re capable o doing, we would liter-ally astonish ourselves.” Tat’s why ollow-ing the road o our true capabilities requiresknowing who we are. As success speaker BobProctor states, “Te two most important days

in your lie are the day you were born and theday you fgure out who you really are. Whenyou understand that , you can then determinewhere you are and where you are going.”

Te tears o this mother were represen-tative not only o her sadness about herunulflled dream, but also o the cripplingear that so oen accompanies acing one’struth in the journey ahead.

Seeing and understanding the mark-ings that are in our hands gives us strengthand courage to move through that earand align with our purpose to experienceulfllment. It gives us trust and aith tobelieve in something we cannot see.

For the mothers who have devotedso much o their lives to “doing” orothers, there eventually comes a “crisis o meaning” moment when one’s soul criesout: “Enough with the doing … who areyou being ?”

Being requires stillness, going within,eeling one’s eelings and holding a spaceor nurturing growth rom the inside out.Mothers, more than any other, enlist ina unifed agreement to nurture, give andbe caretakers or others only to one day

W p Zvaa lls yu a ya savd l, she is not mincing words. Teenage struggles with depression,

social anxiety and eating disorders took a huge toll on her

emotionally, spiritually and physically — to the point where it

was basically “live or die.” Then a recommendation from a caring

soul at her local recreation center to try yoga put the 89-poundhigh school senior on a path to healing.

“Something just sparked in that rst yoga class,” recalls Hope,

“and I loved it!” Despite being the youngest student, she picked

up on the benets of the mind-body exercises immediately. The

experience fed her insight into her “self” and enlightened her to

the fact that she could let go of “stu” that her body was holding

on to. “The body holds onto everything that we store mentally,

emotionally and spiritually,” she explains, “and symptoms we

suer with are often wake-up calls to get us to pay attention! ”

Yoga gave Hope a way to cope, a tool to x herself from the

inside-out and a new point of view on life. This transformative

experience led her into teaching. She attended an ashram in

Colorado for a month-long intensive yoga training a decade ago

— where she saw the plan for her future in yoga unfold — and

has never looked back.

etting to the core of the mtterBut the story doesn’t end there. As it turns out, Hope was not a

passive yogi. Over the rst several years of teaching, she contin-

ued an in-depth study of the art form. And what she found was

that there were holes in many methods of yoga. Hope took what

she learned through her research of anatomy, movement a

spine health, and methodically ne-tuned her practice an

eventually challenged the system.

As the creator of Core Functional Fitness™, director of Hope Scho

of Yoga and owner of Copper Tree Yoga Studio and Wellness Cent

describes, “I have taken the beauty of yoga and its amazing trad

tions, philosophy and spiritual essence and intertwined it with ne

research, functionality and everyday modern living.” Hope poin

to the fact that our bodies and our lifestyles — particularly tho

of our increasingly sedentary Western culture — are no long

like they were thousands of years ago. Things had to be adapt

in order for the practice to be safe and eective today. “We’

evolved, so we need to update the science,” she says.

And so Hope applied Core Functional Fitness™ to her yoga pra

tice. She created this functional method of movement to addre

postures, movements and body alignment from the ground u

both on and o the mat. As she explains, “Yoga shouldn’t

about just doing or copying a movement, but instead how th

body communicates with itself for functional, applicable mov

ments specied to one’s needs.” The key components of Co

Functional Fitness™ include:

1. Core health must be determined in terms of back heal

Many don’t recognize that the core includes our ba

muscles and is the hub of spinal health.

2. Functionality! What we choose to do should translate to

healthy function in our bodies.

Hope Zvara applies her CoreFunctional Fitness™ methodsto yoga with great results

3. Look at the core in layers, and “co-contract-

ing” and “bracing” these layers to increase

the eectiveness of back health and the

entire body.

4. Finding a healthy neutral, which includes

the feet, pelvis, ribcage and head, and

having real awareness of this.

5. Stability over mobility.

6. Motor control training instead of big, sloppy

movements.

7. Muscle endurance.

8. Look at the asymmetry not at trying to

achieve symmetry. What good is symmetry

if there’s dysfunction?

9. 2:1 ratio: What you do to the stronger side

you do to the weaker side double.

10. Gravity! Use it to your advantage.

11. A combination of strength and stretch

simultaneously.

12. Understanding the role of muscles, bones,ligaments, nerves, tendons and fascia in

relationship with energy in the body can better help with success

in our movements.

13. Ask why! When we understand “why,” we have a better rate of

success. Question poses and movements in the quality of life: “How

is this going to help me live better?”

Both yoga instructors and students alike have truly beneted from Hope’s

application of Core Functional Fitness™ to traditional yoga and are excited

to spread the word. As Will Masters shares, “Hope has a very visual approach

with her teaching that helps me understand the mechanics of body move-

ment, body awareness and engaging my core in

advance of all my movement. This has aided in my

ability to get more from a yoga class than beforeand feel good about all my time spent on the mat.

My entire body is now engaged instead of just

arms here and legs there. She’s helped me make

huge advances in my own yoga practice.”

Hope’s mission in life is to share with the world

the importance of her Core Functional Fitness™

methods and to change the mind/body/tness

community. Her investment of time and e

this endeavor was initially to create a safe env

ment (both physically and emotionally) for h

his time o year, many pet owners are looking or productsto apply to their dogs and cats to prevent eas. A growingnumber o these pet owners have concerns about the

saety o these products. For those individuals, it comes as a relie to learn that there are natural products or ea control that don’tcontain chemical pesticides, as well as other methods that are sae,eective and easy to implement.

Understanding the lie cycle o a ea helps us evaluate whichmethods and products are good choices. Te adult ea needs ablood meal in order to reproduce (this is where your dog or cat,the rabbits and squirrels in the yard, or even you come into thepicture). Te eas lay eggs while on your pet. Tese hatch as larvae,which go through several stages beore maturing. Te larvae may live on the pet’s bedding, carpeting and other places in your home.Tey will eed on the droppings o adult eas until they are mature

and able to bite you and your pets.Preventing eas begins easily and simply. Frequent vacuuming o

carpets and urniture keeps ea droppings unavailable and gets rid o ea larvae and any adult eas that may have come in with your pet.Diatomaceous earth is a fne powder composed o ossilized diatoms(single cell organisms). Tere are tiny sharp points in the powder thatcan scratch the outside or exoskeleton o the eas. Once their protec-tive exoskeleton is compromised, they will dry out and die. You may sprinkle a bit o the diatomaceous earth on the carpet beore vacu-uming or put a teaspoonul in your vacuum to kill any eas you pick up. It is important to use only human ood grade diatomaceous earth.Do not use the type sold or swimming pool flters.

Fleas and pests are more likely to take advantage o an unhealthy pet. Choose high-quality, species-appropriate oods or yourcat or dog. Tey are carnivores and require balanced oods withhigh-quality meat protein, avoiding corn, wheat and soy. Foodswith byproducts, artifcial coloring and harsh preservatives may compromise your pet’s health and should also be avoided.

Essential oils may also be used to prevent ea problems. Tereare products available which are applied in the same way as pesti-cide-based spot-on products. Unlike the chemical-based pesticides,essential oils are derived rom plants and may discourage and kill

eas and other pests. You may choose to make your own esseoil mix to apply to your dog or cat when they are outdoors. Ichoose to use your own mixture, consider these guidelines to msure you are using essential oils saely and eectively with your 1. Do your research to select oils that are a therapeutic grade, h

“OU A AT OU AT.” Despite how many times we’veheard this saying, have we taken the time to really think aboutwhat it means? o think about the nutritional value o our ood?At Growing Power, we have invested countless days and nightspondering these very words and conjuring up ways to improve ourgrowing systems to produce the most nutrient-dense and satisy-ing ood possible. And, what I’ve realized over several decades o arming is that when it comes down to healthy plant nutrition, it’sall about the soil and what’s in the soil.

Further, growing directly in compost helps eliminate weeds and will ensure your plants arethe healthiest and nutritionally superior to grocery store resh oods.We believe this so much that Growing Power has partnered with themedical community to prove it. In the coming year, Growing Powerwill participate in research that quantifes the nutritional value o over 150 crops o locally and sustainably grown ood versus conven-tional produce that is grown with pesticides and shipped thousandso miles rom arm to plate. We will start with tomatoes.

Tis groundbreaking research will compare levels o lycopenein sustainably and locally grown tomatoes versus tomatoes thatare conventionally grown and shipped across the country, some-times waiting in storage or days beore reaching the consumer.We will also study the traces o pesticides ound in these conven-tional oods, raising awareness about eating this produce versushomegrown ood.

n many ways, today’s kids have busier schedules than any previ-ous generation o youngsters. Many extracurricular activities,including sports, require a nearly year-round commitment,

and the dual-income household has landed many kids in aer-school programs where kids tend to their schoolwork or engage in

various activities that keep them rom resting on their laurels.But those busy schedules get a lot less hectic when the school

year ends. Once school is out, kids used to a ull schedule mightfnd themselves with lots o time on their hands. Tough it’sgood or kids to squeeze in some rest and relaxation during theirsummer break, it’s also important or kids to stay active so they don’t develop poor habits as the summer goes on. In addition,

the American Psychological Association notes that kids who arephysically active are more capable o coping with stress and tendto have higher sel-esteem than kids who do not include physicalactivity as part o their regular routines. Te ollowing are a ew suggestions or parents looking or ways to keep their kids activethroughout the summer while still allowing them to recharge theirbatteries aer a long school year.

PAN AN ACT ACATON. Summer is when many ami-lies go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involvesmore than napping poolside? Tough it’s still good to leave sometime or relaxation, fnd a locale where you can embrace activi-ties like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that getyou and your youngsters o the poolside chaise and out exploring.Such a trip might inspire kids to embrace an activity more ully,getting them o the couch not only while they’re on vacation butalso when they return home or the rest o summer.

TAC DS TO GADN. Gardening might be seen asa peaceul and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot o elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden mustbe planted, hoed, weeded and watered, and gardening gets kidsout o the house to enjoy the great outdoors. When growing a

vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be directly

involved in the oods that will eventually end up on their ditables. Parents can embrace this as an opportunity to teach

value o eating locally produced oods and the positive imsuch behavior has on the environment.

GO SMMNG. Few adults who work in oces haven’t loout their windows on a sunny summer day and thought howit would be to be spending that aernoon making a ew lapa lake, at the beach or in a pool. Kids have the same daydreduring the summer, so take a day o every so oen and takkids or an aernoon o swimming. Swimming is a great actthat exercises the entire body, including the shoulders, back, hips and abdominals. In addition, swimming helps kids and ad

ith the weather warming up, it’s time to get outside againand start up all those outdoor activities that you havebeen anxiously waiting to do all winter long. As you get

out there cycling, running or even gardening, you will start to eelthose amiliar aches and pains that accompany new physical activi-ties. In all my years o massage, the most common complaint amongactive people is knee and hip pain. When cycling, the repetitivemotion will cause muscles to tighten or knot up. Te same goes orrunning or rollerblading, and the kneeling involved in gardeningcan hit the knees, hips and lower back. From a massage stand point,all those aches are related. Te movement o the muscles in the legsis very complex. My experience over the years rom working onthe proessional dancers in the Milwaukee Ballet has taught me thatknee pain can have a variety o causes, not many o which are wherethe pain is at. Remember, pain is a symptom. I you can locate andremove the cause, the symptom will disappear.

Te most common cause o knee pain is tight quadriceps. Most

people don’t pay too much attention to their quads, other thanmaybe giving them a good workout at the gym. Tese are our very strong and very important muscles, and when they are not unction-ing properly they can cause knee, hip and lower back pain. Getting amassage therapist to work into your quads can be uncomortable, butthe beneft is well worth it. Getting those our hard-working musclesunctioning properly again can give you more energy when youwalk, make your legs eel lighter, and in some cases make you runaster and jump higher. It only makes sense; i your muscles are allstuck together and unable to do their individual jobs, they no longerwork as eciently as they should. I the main quad is tight, it pullsyour hips orward and causes extra curve and tension in your lowerback. Once the quads are soened up and working as they should,they take tension o the ront o your hips and allow your lower back to relax. Once the hips are back in place and the lower back relaxesa bit, people fnd that their hamstrings are no longer as tight as they thought. Tis is due to the act that pulling the hips orward orcesthe hamstrings to stretch arther than they should. Many peoplethink their hamstrings are tight and consistently stretch them, whenin reality they should be stretching their quads instead.

ightness in the iliotibial band, or I band, is anothercommon complaint. Tis can be caused by either the muscles in

the glute area or in the adductor area. Tis means either the just below your lower back or the inside o your legs is tightcontracted. Getting those areas worked on by a good deep titherapist can greatly reduce the tightness elt in the I bandagain ree up movement and exibility in the hips and legs. also will greatly reduce pain.

Aches and pains are a common part o lie and physical actiHow you choose to deal with it is your choice. You can take a reliever or temporary relie or you can see a massage therawho can give you longer-lasting relie with some added benemore energy and more mobility. My experience has taught memost knee and hip pain has a muscular cause and can be treeasily by some good massage therapy. One client boasted kning 15 minutes o o her marathon time, which qualifed hethe Boston Marathon aer only one muscle release therapy tment. So when you eel those aches coming on rom all toutdoor activities, pick up that phone and call your local inde

dent massage therapist. Tat way you can keep up those activall summer long without worries.

a 5 percent tea tree oil gel to a 5 percent benzoyl peroxide productor the treatment o acne and ound that the benzoyl peroxideworked slightly better but that the tea tree oil had ewer side eects.

Side eects and cautionsea tree oil contains varying amounts o 1,8-cineole, a skinirritant. Products with high amounts o this compoundmay cause skin irritation or contact dermatitis, an allergicreaction, in some individuals. Oxidized tea tree oil (oilthat has been exposed to air) may trigger allergies morethan resh tea tree oil.

ea tree oil should not be swallowed. Poisonings,mainly in children, have caused drowsiness, disorienta-tion, rash and ataxia — a loss o muscle control in thearms and legs causing a lack o balance and coordina-tion. One patient went into a coma aer drinking hal acup o tea tree oil.

opical use o diluted tea tree oil is generally consid-ered sae or most adults. However, one case study didreport a young boy who had developed breast growthaer using a styling gel and shampoo that containedboth lavender oil and tea tree oil.

Calcium and vitamin D are requently touted or theirability to improve bone health. While consuming oodsrich in vitamin D and calcium is especially important or

aging women, both vitamin D and calcium also help to keep thebody strong and vital at any age.

Calcium and vitamin D help fght bone loss, and not just inolder women. Younger, active women need it to prevent stressractures and other bone injuries. A 2008 study reviewed thehealth o 5,000 emale U.S. Navy recruits, and those who did nottake additional calcium and vitamin D were 25 percent more likely to suer a stress racture. A stress racture is a small racture o abone caused by repeated physical strain. Gymnasts, runners and

even marching soldiers can suer such ractures even i they areotherwise healthy.

Calcium is also needed or other parts o the body. Te NationalInstitutes o Health Osteoporosis and Related Bone DiseasesNational Resource Center says calcium is necessary or the heart,muscles and nerves to unction properly. It also helps blood toclot. Furthermore, pregnant women need ample calcium in theirdiets in order to supply calcium to a growing etus. I a pregnantwoman does not get enough calcium through diet, the baby willdraw it rom Mom’s own bones, threatening the mother’s healthwhile leading to bone ragility and increasing her risk o ractures.

Calcium and vitamin D work in conjunction. Although abalanced diet may provide enough calcium, many times highlevels o salt and protein in one’s diet can increase calcium excre-tion through the kidneys. Also, people who have an intoleranceto lactose may not be getting the calcium they need. Vitamin Dis necessary or the body to absorb calcium. Without vitamin D,a woman cannot produce enough calcitriol, impairing calciumabsorption rom her diet. In turn, the body will take calciumrom stores in existing bone, weakening them and preventing theormation o strong, new bone.

Women who may have been defcient in vitamin D and calcium

can develop osteoporosis and other bone-loss conditions as age. Tanks to osteoporosis, hal o all women over the age owill have a racture o the hip, wrist or vertebra during theirtime, according to the U.S. National Library o Medicine. A din estrogen at the time o menopause can contribute to bone Drinking large amounts o alcohol, maintaining a low body weand smoking can each cause osteoporosis.

In order to maintain bone and body health, there are cedietary intake recommendations regarding calcium and vitaD. Adults under age 50 should consume between 1,000 and 1milligrams o calcium and roughly 600 IU o vitamin D dCalcium can be ound in dairy products as well as in salmon, sfsh, Brazil nuts, dried beans and green, leay vegetables. VitaD is ound in fsh, eggs and ortifed milk. Vitamin D can also when the body is exposed to sunlight. Even as ew as 10 minutdaily exposure to sunlight can produce vitamin D.

Consuming enough calcium and vitamin D can help a wombody stay healthy as she ages.

Tis basically means you should learn to control your bodyocus on stability beore mobility, slow down enough to eel you are doing, and create a relationship with your body. Gone ar

days o “don’t stop” and “keep going.” It is important to keep in mthat i you have spent your entire lie avoiding your core or uevery muscle but your core, then it will not be an instant roaaccessing your vA. Your larger, bulkier muscles or pesky neighing muscles, like the hip exors, may not go down without a fg

3 moves to help you access your TvA:1. UNCTONA AC ND: We oen consider orward e

moves as eective core creators, however, when you extend byou have much more core onset and you can eel it (plus way more eective version o a back bend). Stand with yourroughly a yoga mat’s width apart (you can stand wider or mnarrow, but this is a good start). Align your eet parallel anneutral, draw your pelvis into neutral and engage your inner thto help encourage your pelvic oor. Either keep your hands at hips or draw them up over head, and leading with the hip socallow your body to extend back. You should eel your trunk on maybe even quiver and a great release in your hip socketsmost importantly, zero back pain. Exhale and move into a orwold, roll up and move your body back. Repeat the procestimes. Make sure your head does not lead the movement but ryour pelvis and hip sockets.

Transversuswhat?.........................byopeZvara

Transversus … is that some kind o car part? Well, i youare talking about the transversus abdominis, then yes, itis kind o like the body o a car. Without this core muscle,

nothing works right and many things start to all apart.Our transversus abdominus (vA) is our deepest core muscle.

It acts as a corset around our torso surrounding our spine and isliterally the motherboard o our strength and core support.

In combination with the obliques it does, in act, create acorseting eect (or what Stewart McGill calls “hoop stresses” ) andstiness, assisting with spine stability. Tis hoop, combining theobliques and the vA, connects posteriorly by the lumbar asciaand anteriorly by the abdominal ascia.

An understanding o this deep muscle and, even more impor-tantly, the hooping eect, is important because when this hoop isunctioning properly, we have an increase in activity, unctionality and, most importantly, spinal stability.

We all have a vA, and when I read core-related material, Irequently hear people talk about the vA as i they are accessing itor not. And really, it’s not a matter o activating it or not, but rather

how much it is turning on and i the onset is delayed or not. akenotice once you are acting in such a way that requires the vA towork (which is most o what you do) i it kicks in when it should,and stays supportive and active.

Now, in combination with the pelvic oor, it creates the real lie version o the Sphinx undergarment, one that doesn’t need to betaken o and has no threat on your physical health i worn too long.

Oen, core exercises are directed at a lying down positionwith arms and legs moving at any given pace or requency;however, i the actual core is not strong enough to support suchmovement, this type o action can actually be harmul and ine-ective at the very least.

Te vA cannot be measured by how many ripples it gives youexteriorly and cannot be elt by touch. Accessing the vA requiresmany to slow down and rethink their usual core exercise, andunderstand more about what they are doing and why. When youunderstand this muscle, you can begin to decode what is seen ashelpul or just a waste o time.

Core stability is defned by Kibler (et al. 2006) as “the ability to control the position and motion o the trunk over the pelvisto allow optimum production, transer and control o orce andmotion to the terminal segment in integrated athletic activities.”




2. MN A xTNSON: ake a seat and placea gently inated mini ball behind your sacrum.Sitting tall on your sit bones, exhale and gently kiss your sacrum into the ball without roundingyour spine. Inhale, extending your body back (45°), without laying into the ball behind you.Extend your arms orward at shoulder level andwork to keep the chest open. Continue to li thearms upwards until you eel an inner

earthquake — that’s your vA.I you eel hip exor pain, loweryour arms or place a second ball oryoga block between the inner thighsto help keep your pelvic oor turned on,assisting your vA and reminding your hipexors that they are movers and not stabilizers.Hold your arms at an appropriate angle or up to tenbreaths or li your arms on an inhale as high as you canwithout arching your back and exhale as you lower your arms toknee level ten times.

3. PANNG: Planking is one o the most eective ways to accessthe vA, but orm matters. Choose rom orearm or ull plank.Align wrists under shoulders with the olds o the elbows acingorward. Choose your knees or balls o the eet (no shoes) and huga oam yoga block or mini ball between the thighs or more vAand pelvic oor onset.

Tough the long-term eectso consumption o genetically modifed oods have not beenproven, numerous animal studies have shown a link betweenGMO consumption and increased incidence o tumors. However,a recent report in the American Heart Association’s “ ScientifcSessions 2012” revealed quite dierent results rom animal data.

Due to conicting evidence, no conclusions cadrawn at this time. Additional research is required to determthe saety o GMOs in our ood supply.

Question: Should I supplement individual amino acids?Anser: It is a common misconception that supplementing

vidual amino acids such as leucine or tryptophan will stimprotein synthesis and provide additional health benefts. In there is a lack o evidence to substantiate these claims. Rathersort o supplementation is counter-productive or several reaFirst, individual amino acids compete or absorption carrthus, taking one amino acid in abundance may inhibit the abs
