Scoliosis and osteochondrosis do not let yourself be broken


I would like to touch upon the topic of scoliosis and osteochondrosis. We live in the 21st century and technology does not stand still. Sedentary work takes its toll, and office workers and freelancers suffer the most. In second place are truckers and all drivers who work a lot. You can also add dentists to this list, since they are immobile every day.

What are osteochondrosis and scoliosis?

What should I do to fix this problem?

What can happen if the problem is not resolved in time?

Bottom line.


There are no healthy people in the world - this is a fact; there are no examinations of patients who did not go to the hospital to find out their diagnosis. All people get sick and suffer.


What are osteochondrosis and scoliosis?

Scoliosis and osteochondrosis are pathologies of the spinal column that accompany each other. Scoliosis is associated with poor posture in the lateral projection, and with osteochondrosis, destruction of the intervertebral discs is observed.


What should I do to fix this problem?

You know, this is the problem that if it gets too bad, it can only be done surgically. The best way is not to bring it to this state, but due to our generation this is unrealistic..

But anyway?

1. More movement.

We are born to move, if we stop moving, then the muscles atrophy, they become weak.

When you work at a computer, you don’t notice how your shoulders move forward and you take the wrong posture.

Remember, a straight back is a habit; if you can develop this habit, you will have much fewer health problems.

Take breaks between work, get up and just do any physical activity: push-ups, pull-ups, or hanging on a horizontal bar, walking, etc.

2.Therapeutic physical education.

I recommend purchasing a practice mat.

1. First exercise: lie flat on the mat, arms together straight, pull your shoulders back and thereby align our thoracic spine.

2. Second exercise: cat pose, kneel down, bend and pull your arms forward and your back as low as possible. A very good exercise to relieve pain and relax your back muscles.

3. Third exercise: stand between the doorway, you need to lean on the doorway with your left and right hands, and tilt your torso forward. You should feel your back working in the thoracic region.

4. Fourth exercise: hang on the horizontal bar, hang on the bar for 30-60 seconds. The spine will be stretched and relieve spasms and triggers.

IMPORTANT, do everything under control and carefully, slowly.


What can happen if the problem is not resolved in time?

  • A misalignment of the spine can cause internal organs to become deformed and cause discomfort.
  • For example, there may be difficulty breathing and chest pain.
  • Constant back pain, you will feel uncomfortable standing, sitting and sleeping..
  • Headaches, pain in the temples, dizziness.
  • Panic attacks, anxiety and neurosis may develop.


Bottom line: My dears, watch your back, otherwise you will face health problems in the future. Do your exercises on time and rest while working at the computer.

Be healthy, and don’t forget to read our blog.

Never Back Down - movie for motivation


This is a film that will change your thinking about this world, your actions, you will begin to think differently.


I remember watching this film back in 2009, when I was playing sports and I lacked motivation, I just turned on this film and started watching, I didn’t even think that the film could be so addictive, by the way, the film has 3 parts, but the best one is exactly the first part of the 2008 film.

The film teaches you to help your loved ones no matter what, not to give up and move forward, even if it’s very difficult for you.

When watching the film, perhaps you will see yourself, as life topics are touched upon.

“Never Give Up” is a film that encourages you to move forward, yes, if there are difficulties and there are not one, two, but many problems, you still need to go forward and fight to the last.

Today you may fall, but you will get up and move forward, even if you fall 99 times, but 100 times you will get up and walk with your head held straight.

Show what you are worth, learn to endure pain for the sake of your goal, and when you reach your goal, you will gain your own recognition that you did it and you are still worth something!


I recommend watching it to anyone who suffers with motivation and depression, this movie will blow your mind.

I have watched this film up to 10 times.

How to play sports on vacation?


Each of you has asked this question: how can you train if you are on vacation, but really want to?

I will be very glad to tell you about this, since I often go on vacation.


You are unlikely to be able to carry a gym with you, dumbbells are hard to take, barbells even more so, and there may not be horizontal bars or parallel bars, but how can you do what?

The ideal solution is to purchase a fitness elastic band; it comes in varying degrees of load.

With such an elastic band you can practice anywhere on earth, wherever you are, and the variation of exercises with such an elastic band is colossal.

I will not list all the types of exercises that are available with an elastic band, since there are a lot of variations, and even more so, you can come up with your own exercises for practicing with an expander (elastic band).

I suggest you do some basic exercises:

  1. Push-ups with a rubber band.
  2. Squats with a rubber band.
  3. Biceps curl.
  4. Triceps lift (to do this, place your leg on an elastic band, thereby fixing it and pushing it up with either hand so that the arm is fully extended).

Back exercises:

  1. First exercise. To do this, take an elastic band, lift it up and spread it in different directions.
  2. Second exercise. Secure the elastic band with your feet, spread your legs to the side, bend and lean forward a little, and begin to pull towards yourself with a completely straight back. This exercise is reminiscent of dumbbell swings, only with two dumbbells, and in our case it is a fitness elastic band.

These exercises will be enough for you to train wherever you are, but the sport will always be with you.

Work out, get motivated and stay healthy.

Diet for weight loss [1]


1200 calories per day is the daily calorie requirement for weight loss. Creating a calorie deficit in this way is the cause of weight loss (weight loss).


Breakfast.

Cook oatmeal in milk and water in a 1:1 ratio.

Add a little sugar and salt. You can add cottage cheese and a spoonful of syrup or a spoonful of honey to the finished porridge.


Dinner.

Boil the chicken broth and, as soon as the soup is ready, remove the chicken and add the peas (just rinse with water several times).

Cook until fully cooked, then separate the chicken and add to the soup. Add herbs and spices to taste. The soup is ready to serve.


If you don't like soup, you can make meatballs with buckwheat porridge.


Dinner (evening).

Protein salad with shrimp for dinner is very tasty and healthy.

If you don't have shrimp, you can use chicken.

Boil the shrimp for 3 minutes and the chicken egg for 10 minutes.

Finely chop the tomatoes (for salad).

Chop cabbage to desired size.

Place the eggs and cabbage on a plate, top with boiled eggs cut in half and peeled shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and add a little olive oil.


These amazing meals will not only help you lose weight, but will also make you healthier.

Enjoy your food and stay healthy.

How to gain weight if you are thin?


You've probably tried to eat a lot, but nothing worked? Oh, how I understand you.. I’ll try to help you in this matter and tell you what you did wrong.


Article content:

Tip 1: Eat more calories.

Tip 2: Mode.

Tip 3: Eat healthy fats.

Tip 4: Physical activity.



Tip 1: Eat more calories.


Eat more calories than you move.

I can assume that if you are a thin person, then you walk a lot and quickly. Don't rush, walk slower, because life is beautiful.

How to count calories?


For men: 10×weight (kg)+6.25×height (cm) - 5×age (g)+5.


For women: 10×weight (kg) + 6.25×height (cm) - 5×age (g) - 161.


Tip 2: Mode.

The most important thing in gaining body weight is your food intake.

Make your own daily routine when it's convenient for you to eat. It is recommended to eat up to 5 times in medium portions and snacks. It’s important not to overload your stomach to the point where you can’t even breathe, you don’t need to do this, and even more so it’s dangerous for your health.


Tip 3: Eat healthy fats.

Not only are they good for the body, but they also prevent fat loss.

Regular consumption of healthy fats also prevents health problems (heart disease).

Here's a short list of healthy fats:

  • Walnuts.
  • Pumpkin seeds.
  • Olive oil.
  • Avocado.
  • Red fish.
  • (Faty fish contain huge amounts of omega-3 sources).

Tip 4: Physical activity.

Exercise and eat more calories than you burn.

It is recommended to do basic exercises:

  • Push ups.
  • Pull-ups.
  • Squats. (this is the blog author’s favorite exercise). By the way, squats use the most muscles in our body. I recommend paying more attention to squats in order to gain muscle mass. After all, squats are not only about legs and quadriceps. Squats use the core muscles of the core, back, and spinal stabilizer. The heart muscle also works very well in squats.

Is it possible to pump up your biceps on the horizontal bar?


The article will tell you the myth that they say “it’s impossible to pump up biceps on a horizontal bar”

My dears, this is just a myth and it is quite real, you just need to know some subtleties and the right approach.


Many people say that it is simply unrealistic to pump up biceps on the horizontal bar, and consider a reverse grip (grab toward you) to be girly. But this is a myth, the muscles do not know what a barbell is, and what a horizontal bar is, or any other physical equipment. The load is important for the muscles, and what it will be doesn’t matter, even if you exercise with fitness bands at the highest resistance. If you look at workout athletes and those who do calisthenics, you will see that they have huge biceps, but they don’t go to the gym.


How to make your biceps grow?

The whole trick is to exercise with weights; there are special vests that allow you to exercise with additional weight. You can tie a weight, or several weights, to yourself.

Your biceps will start to progress, just try it for yourself.

I recommend doing 8 repetitions - this is the gold standard. Fix the position above and below for one second.

Choose a weight that will allow you to do 3 sets of 8 reps.

How does sport affect the human brain?


Have you ever wondered how sports affects our brain?

No? Then let's look at this together.


Healthy blood vessels.

The brain has many blood vessels, and when a person exercises regularly, physical activity improves brain function through the cardiovascular system.


Neurons in the brain.

When performing exercises, 65 billion nerve cells are involved. Just think about it, 65 billion in 90.

Do as many new movements as possible to engage as many neurons in your brain as possible. Dancing is great because it has a lot of complex moves.


International studies have shown that walking, running and cycling improve memory and make it easier to remember words in a foreign language.


As for mood, there is an expression: runner's euphoria after a long run. Whatever you do, the more you move, the more uplifted you will feel.


Research shows that people who practice yoga suffer less from stress, panic attacks and depression. The area of the brain responsible for stress simply shrinks.


Walking improves thinking.

Have you ever noticed that you don't have any ideas, but as soon as you step outside, creative ideas immediately come to your mind? This is your brain telling you "thanks for the walk."


If you want to stay healthy in the coming years, you should move more, take regular walks, and avoid sitting at computers for long periods of time.
