How to Jog Safely and Effectively to Improve Your Health and Fitness Levels

Jogging is a great form of exercise that many people enjoy which also helps boost their energy level and mood. There are challenges, though, like sticking with your program week after week. To avoid slowing your progress way down, you also need to avoid getting injured. Here are some guidelines to help you stay healthy and motivated while jogging.

Never skip your stretching either before or after you jog. You can prevent many different kinds of injuries by stretching. Your muscles need to be warmed up, and they need to be as limber as possible before you begin running. When you stretch, don’t go too far or bounce, and just focus on relaxing your body. The entire point for stretching to to avoid injury, so don’t cause them by stretching “to impress” and proceed slowly. Never push to the point of pain when you stretch, and if you do feel pain immediately and “slowly” back off.

Ideally, stretch your entire body and not just your legs, and do it lightly before and after jogging. Before you start jogging, you should consult your doctor, especially if you haven’t exercised in awhile. If you are overweight or have other health issues, this step is especially important. While everyone can benefit from jogging, your doctor may have restrictions due to your medical history. Because jogging can be adapted to work with any fitness level, chances are your doctor will encourage you to give it a try. You should still talk to your doctor first in case there are special precautions that you need to take.

You should try to do your jogging at the start of your day but you can go at any time of the day. If you go first thing then you don’t have to work about it for the rest of the day. Jogging first thing starts your day on a productive note, as well as energetic. Another bonus to jogging first thing is it gets your metabolism going for the day. And, usually, the air quality is better in the morning. You will start to notice that you have more energy throughout the day if you start out going for a morning jog.

Those that go jogging several times a week can get a lot out of it. Be sure to remember to stretch, not to overdo it, and to wear the right shoes. Use these tips as you start your jogging routine and soon you will be able to maintain it year round.

Does she qualify for gastric bypass or any weight-loss surgery?

My sister is 19yrs old, hyper tense, measures 5ft 9in and weighs 298 pounds. She’s tried all there is and nothing works. She has Carpal tunnel and bronchial asthma, no thyroid problems, everything checks out, she got surgery this past feb/2010 for a hernia in her back which left her with much back pain. she thinks surgery is the only way now that every other choice didn’t work. She was researching the gastric band, and gastric bypass but really doesn’t know which will do better and serve her purpose to achieve her ideal weight best. I know she needs to go to the doctor and discuss this with him.But what do you think? what can i tell her otherwise than “go see your doctor”? medically evidenced answers please, will vote b est answer. blessings PS: is there an online support group for undecided ppl like her?

She should look at www.obesityhelp.com. There is a lot of information and support there. She would most likely qualify for a bariatric procedure of some sort. However, what you and your sister need to know is that no weight loss procedure is just a quick fix for losing weight. Any procedure – including the lap band – should be considered permanent and irreversable. None of them are without risk, and all require a firm committment to changing lifestyle and eating habits, or the weight WILL come right back.

Alleviating Foot Pain

Copyright (c) 2011 Bruce Lashley

Pain can interfere with normal daily activity and can prevent us from enjoying life fully. However, pain is the body’s alarm system to alert us when something is wrong, and it is a normal response produced by the body.

How does pain work?

There are four major stages with which pain will begin in our body. The first is the actual stimulus, which starts the pain information pathway to the brain. The stimulus is usually negative and results in tissue damage. The damage can be a cut of the skin, a broken bone or a tear or crush of soft tissue.

During the transmission stage, this negative stimulus is converted by the nerves to an electrical signal. This information is then carried by nerves toward the brain.

Before the electrical information finally enters the brain, the body has a third step in the pain route, called modulation. The modulation step works like a gate, where the brain sorts out the various stimuli that the body receives and determines whether or not the signal is strong enough to be recognized.

Once the brain accepts the electrical signal and final process begins, which is the awareness of pain in the body.

What are the goals of treating pain?

The two main goals that a podiatrist wants to achieve in treating pain are to eliminate the source of the problem and also to treat the symptoms caused by the problem. In order to do so, the podiatrist will need to investigate the cause of the pain by first asking the patient a series of questions regarding the problem. Below is a series of questions that podiatrists commonly ask in order to find the source of the pain and how to better treat it. Patients should think about some of the answers to the following questions before and during the appointment in order to better assist the podiatrist in finding the source of the problem.

1. Where is the pain located?

2. How would you describe the pain?

There are different types of pain in the body. If the pain is tingling or burning, the problem is most probably associated with the nerve. Most likely, achy, dull, throbbing, or sharp pain, more often indicates more of a muscle or bone problem.

3. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most painful, what is your pain level?
Knowing the level intensity of the pain can help determine what type of medication to alleviate the pain. Stronger pain intensity may mean that a stronger strength of pain medication may be needed.

4. How long has the pain been occurring?
The duration of the pain can help the podiatrist determine whether the pain is acute, lasting for a few days to weeks, or chronic, which lasts for a period longer than 3 months. If the pain is acute, it may signify that there was trauma that occurred to the area. Chronic pain may indicate arthritic changes or overuse injuries of the foot.

5. Did you injure your foot or was there anything different that occurred before the pain?
Knowing the incidences before the occurrence of pain can help determine what structures in the foot are injured.

6. What makes the pain worse or better?

7. What treatments have you done to alleviate the pain?
Knowing what type of treatment a patient has tried helps the podiatrist know how to better treat the patient, especially in avoiding treatments that have already been tried. Additionally, if there may be two causes to the pain, it can help a podiatrist eliminate one of the two sources of the pain.

What are the common treatments for pain?
Aside from treating the source of the problem, the podiatrist may offer treatment that can alleviate pain.

1. Icing and compression. Increased swelling and inflammation to the foot caused by trauma can make the pain worse. Accordingly, icing and compression of the foot may be recommended.

2. Topical Anti-inflamatories: Botanical anti-inflammatories can also be used to reduce swelling and therefore reduce pain. Arnica is one of these topical plant products that can help. It comes from the Arnica Montana plant. It was discovered and used my native Americans before the arrival of Columbus and is still used successfully today

3. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (“NSAIDS”). NSAIDS are commonly prescribed to control inflammation and swelling. They are often recommended for mild or moderate pain level intensities. Caution must be taken when using “NSAIDS”. If the patient has a history of stomach ulcers this class of drugs can increase the chance of a gastric bleed. It is important for everyone taking this class of medicine to take the pill with food. If stomach discomfort occurs, it is best to change the medication.

4. Opioids. Opioids do not decrease inflammation. However, they do decrease the amounts of chemicals that need to be released to start the electrical signal for pain. This prevents pain signals from entering into the brain. Opioids are often recommended at higher pain level intensities. When using, opioids caution must be taken to avoid drug abuse.

5. Capsaicin. This is a topical cream or solution that is applied to the skin and recommended more for chronic pain. Capsaicin has chemicals that are made from chili peppers. It decreases the chemicals that are needed for the nerves to transmit pain signals to the brain. Caution must be taken to avoid eyes, mouth, and genital areas when using this medication because it causes a severe burning sensation.

6. Local anesthetics injections. This type of treatment directly affects the nerves and prevents the nerves from sending signals to the brain. Local injections, however, only produce temporary relief.

7. Steroid injections. This type of injection is given in combination with local anesthetics and is another form of treatment to decrease inflammation. Depending on the problem, this type of injection can alleviate pain anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

I had a strange dream last night …….. before sleep, read new yahoo?

MJ, the authorities returned part of their brain to family, so during the night I had a dream that I was about to undergo surgery on my hand and I was about to lose Deprived we've all heard the news that MJ was hooked. For the first time this dream seemed so real at night and I was very afraid to go "in" but could not stop the process of occurring, then The next thing I realized that the surgery was over and asked if the doctor had finished. In the dream, I felt pain after surgery but does not wake up instantly, as doctors say without anesthesia. What was the time of this dream ??????????????

normally the ultimate dream of something before bed. there is probably no point in the dream, but if I had to play to reduce a bit, I'd say someone in your family or circle close friends is important in pain or have surgery or something and they worried about the outcome. do not worry, everything will be fine.

My back between my shoulder blades is in pain does this mean?

I got up the next day I have this pain in my back When folded to fast or a coat. What does this mean? What happened to me four months ago, but worse than the previous After then IDK what to do.

Probably a muscle pull or a vertebra out of alignment. With muscle lengthening, unfortunately, all we can do is give him time to heal. This means take it easy in the gym until you think it has improved. If there is a vertebral subluxation, inversion therapy I've found is the best way to remedy. When you invest your body, gravity naturally realigns the spine of a smoothly. You get the added benefit spinal decompression, which relieves pressure on discs, nerves and muscles of the back – it will certainly help people like us who work regularly.

Has this happened to anyone else? labor issues, the pain comes and goes?

I posted this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index; = AsaXFeZ1wEnhCfHvFv3hT73sy6IX? _ylt = 20070829205614AAkqJWF four times a day recently, I decided since then to take a long hot bath realaxing i was there for about 45 minutes. I felt good while I was there. As soon as I left, the pressure of coccyx back and I'm getting a contraction. And my back still me hurts. This has never happened before … Every time I'm in the discomfort of the contractions and I take a bath, it disappears. This time they were ????? He wondered if this happened to someone else? Contractions in the stomach is not horribly painful, but I can tell they are there. And my tailbone is so bad .. and feel like I've got # 2 but I do?! Should I go to sleep and see where it takes me? I have 40 weeks and 2 days, which expires on August 28. Yes this is my first time.

You just described to literally how I felt when I was at work. 9 hours after the start I wanted my baby. I was back on and off contractions for weeks and bathrooms more relaxed. That's how I knew I was at work was, I'm out of my bathroom because I had to go to # 2 so bad and my back would not hurt leave. So my opinion is your time! If your mandate is not fully call your doctor NOW! If it is a term and then start timing the contractions! Good luck.

Hi. Just always wanted to know if back pain, neck pain and aching legs in children say 10-12yrs is a sign/symptom of cancer ? If so which ?

OMG OMG! WHY do ppl always think they have cancer? is it a sympathy thing or what? My god, its terrible, If you really think you have cancer got to the darn doctor, dont ask an online forum. SOunds like you need more exercise or maybe arthritis, just because you have been in pain for a while, DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE CANCER!!!!! WOW, maybe if you saw what cancer patients go through, then maybe you wouldnt be such a attention sympathy seeking person, it really is pathetic. Damn ppl, I swear to god above, ppl are getting more and more lax with themselves, then at the first sight of any ache or pain, they cry cancer, it could be that your big toe hurts and ppl like you are going to say its cancer just to get attention, it disgusts me, guess who pays for all those tests that you have to have just because you have a little boo boo, THE TAXPAYERS! get a grip, go to the doc, you dont have cancer.
