Salt intake is an important determinant of blood pressure. A recent study postulates that by cutting down our sodium intake levels now, we can reduce our risk of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart disease in the future. Spices and herbs are an effective way to add flavour to your meals without using salt. This article from CNN summarizes the study as well as providing 12 spices and herbs you can use to liven up your cooking!... https://www.cnn.com//salt-blood-pressure-wellne/index.html See more

For some time now squats have become the universal execise in everyones regime. However, the argument that stands out the most is "should I be going ass to grass?" Now, the ass to grass statement itself is a little aggressive and does not apply to every population. In fact, getting in a depth below 90 degrees is still considered a deep squat, or perhaps changing your stance from narrow to wide can allow more range of motion. You might ask yourself, " can I ever go to such g...reat depths?" And to that I say yes. By performing hip mobility drills everyday ( which will be the next segment on our page) preparing the joint capsule itself breaking into new barriers and allowing the surrounding tissues to adapt new barries(depends on your programming and when you are squatting) Thank you again for reading our post and remember to keep moving! #mobility #movement #strengthtraining #squats #healthylifestyle #workout #positivevibes #motivation #striveforgreatness #higherfasterstronger #massagetherapy #physicaltherapy #carespace

Recently when I have my patients squat I have noticed insufficient back musculature activation 1) get a 2.5lbs plate or even a wedge and place it on your heel. The purpose of the weighted plate is to raise your heel up and allowing a more passive range of motion to the ankle joint (dont let this be your end-all to be all) 2) now, if you can get into a deep squat good on you, but if you cant thats alright lets work with what you got and keep progressing every day ... 3) grab a plate or dumbell preferably 5lbs. Arms and shoulder are parallel to the floor. Extend the plate over your head, this results in the shoulder blade to depress and gets the lower trapezius activated 4) remember this is not a shoulder exercise your main focus is the shoulders blades articulation and lower trapezius engagement. Perform this exercise in the morning, 3x20 reps, every other day and let me know what you think #strengthtraining #movement #mobility #fitnessmotivation #massagetherapy #rehab #physiotherapy #personaltraining #carespace

A recent study indicates that regular mealtimes and fasting increases levels of the hormone ghrelin, which raises appetite but improves motivation to exercise. A separate study indicates that aerobic exercise reduces the levels of ghrelin. This means that by having regular meals and exercise, your appetite will decrease and you will eat less. Limiting Mealtimes increases motivation to workout: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//191019154000.htm...
