Is sitting dangerous?!?!

admin — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 23:46:35 +0000

Sitting can be dangerous to your health…

Believe it or not, recent studies have indicated an “increased risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, a variety of cancers and early death from extended periods of sitting.“* Even when participating in regular daily exercise, people who sit most of the day, tend to have increased waist size, higher blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Why does extended sitting create increased metabolic risk, even in the healthy, exercising population?

Sitting is passive, you burn little energy sitting, and if you are snacking while sitting the problem becomes larger.

It also appears our metabolisms are altered with inactivity. Muscles that are being used (even in a non-exercise activity), produce substances that influence how efficiently our bodies use and metabolize fat and sugars. Just standing, moving about, stretching, (even chewing gum), requires more energy and burns more calories.

If you have a job that involves sitting at a desk or in a car all day, take frequent small breaks to walk and stretch. Bring a stability ball to the office, and use it as your chair for part of the day. At home, get up and move around while watching television. Try a rocking chair instead of a recliner. Just keep moving.

Have a wonderful weekend,

The Temple Team

Make Healthy Choices

Make healthier choices the next time you are at the grocery store. Did you know what the triangular chasing arrow symbol that is often found on the bottom of common plastic containers means? The chasing arrows symbol is the resin code. Certain plastics can leach harmful chemicals into the food you are storing in these plastic containers. Get to know your plastics by checking out this link.

The next time you head to the grocery store, you may want to consider items stored in a glass container over the plastics.

Our Cleveland, Ohio workshop is just a few short weeks away. It is going to be a great workshop on Neck, Thoracic, & Low Back Pain. Join Paul Kelly on August 14-15 at the Hampton Inn & Suites Cleveland-Airport/Middleburg Heights. You can register right here on our website. Have a great rest of your summer.

Tip Of The Month

admin — Wed, 26 May 2010 14:39:11 +0000

Why Doing Crunches or Sit-Ups Can Give You an Abdominal Pouch

According to Muscle and Fitness Magazine, if you want a lean, flat belly, the absolute worst thing you can do is force yourself to do sit-ups and crunches! Reason: Although sit-ups and crunches strengthen the rectus abdominus muscle, they also lengthen the transverse abdominus (girdle)muscles, causing your lower abdominals to pouch.

But that’s not all. Crunches and sit-ups can push your head out of alignment and cause tension in your shoulders. They can also damage your spine. Practice chin retractions and navel pulls each day. This will stretch the posterior neck musculature and work the transverse abdominus. This will help stabilize and decompress the spine. Try to hold each one for 5 seconds and do 15 repetitions twice a day. Add this while walking and get some great lymphatic drainage too…

Keep Healthy and Active,

Team Temple

Recovering Thanksgiving

admin — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:10:35 +0000

Hello All!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! As we get deeper into the holiday season it always helps to have a few tricks up your sleeve. This week’s TIP OF THE WEEK:

…Try drinking brown apple cider vinegar instead of antacids like Tums or Rolaids! This is a natural alkalizer and doesn’t have any side effects! A great way to stay consistent!

Have a great week,

The Temple Team
