Chronic sleep problems also increase the risk of premature death from all causes and from cardiovascular disease. The problem is particularly severe in people with obstructive sleep apnoea, a condition caused by airway collapse during sleep, which decreases blood oxygen levels. Sleep disturbances increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome – a collection of symptoms that include high blood pressure, abdominal fat deposition, abnormal blood fats and insulin resistance. Sleep disturbances interfere with signalling pathways that regulate blood sugar. Obstructive sleep apnoea is particularly common in bodybuilders because of their large necks, which increase the risk of airway collapse. See your physician if you snore or have problems sleeping. It could save your life. (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 7:25, 2015) O.L.S.

Cardiovascular Training Reduces Arterial Stiffness

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Cardiovascular Training Reduces Arterial Stiffness Category: Lifestyle Articles Aerobic exercise protects blood vessels from stiffening. Arterial stiffness decreases the capacity of blood vessels to control blood flow, increases blood pressure and overloads the heart. Arterial stiffening is linked to poor metabolic health and metabolic syndrome – a group of health problems related to heart diseases and stroke that include high blood pressure, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, abnormal blood gats and abnormal obesity. David Donley from the West Virginia University School of Medicine and colleagues found that eight weeks of aerobic exercise reduced arterial stiffness in people with metabolic syndrome. Aerobics improved blood pressure control and the efficiency of the heart. Weightlifters should finish workouts with at least some aerobic exercise to prevent blood vessel stiffening and high blood pressure.

Life stresses can also impair recovery from intense workouts, according to a study led by Matthew Stults-Kolehmainen from the University of Texas. Greater life stresses in experienced weight trainers and athletes, as measured by the Holmes and Rahe stress scale, reduced energy levels and increased fatigue and muscle soreness in the days following an intense weight-training workout. Athletes should consider their personal situation when designing training programs and recovery intervals.

Snoring Is A Possible Sign Of Health Problems

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Snoring Is A Possible Sign Of Health Problems Category: Lifestyle Articles Snoring is a predictor of poor cardiovascular health and is often a sign of sleep apnoea involving restricted breathing, which disturbs sleep. Sleep apnoea is a serious health problem linked to cardiac arrhythmias, heart attack, diabetes, stroke, obesity and narcolepsy (daytime sleepiness). Bodybuilders and high intensity athletes are at high risk of snoring and sleep apnoea because most have larger than normal necks, which promote airway obstruction. See your physician for a sleep study if you snore. A treatment technique called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces airway obstruction and health problems associated with sleep apnoea and snoring.

Core Stability Exercises Important Following Spinal Fusion Surgery

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Core Stability Exercises Important Following Spinal Fusion Surgery Category: Lifestyle Articles Back pain affects more than 85% of people at some point in their lives. Lumbar spine fusion is sometimes indicated due to severe spinal deterioration triggered by sports trauma, overuse or aging. A study from Finland showed that post-surgery rehabilitation is essential because patients typically experience muscle deterioration in the core muscles that support the spine. They found that core stability exercises such as one and two-arm shoulder extension and flexion, bird-dog exercises, and Roman chair isometrics triggered significant activation of the core muscles. Core exercises that also involve the upper and lower extremities are important for stabilizing the spine after spinal fusion surgery.

Exercise Prevents Mental Deterioration In Old & Aging Brains

Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact X Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Home About Services Platinum Package Diamond Package Articles Contact Exercise Prevents Mental Deterioration In Old & Aging Brains Category: Lifestyle Articles Exercise is the new “brain food” and always has been. Even moderate physical activity can improve brain health and function, and delay the decline in cognitive function that occurs in many people as they age – according to the 30-year-long Cardiovascular Health Study by scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles. Physically active older adults had greater brain volume than sedentary people, and brain grey matter increased in older people who increased physical activity. Exercise improves the brain’s ability to learn, remember, think and reason. It promotes the creation of new nerve cells throughout the nervous system and enhances the nervous system’s plasticity – its ability to change and adapt. Exercise protects the brain as people age, helping to delay or prevent brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Exercise is the true Fountain of Youth.

The metabolic syndrome increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, and is linked to premature death. Brazilian researchers pooled the results of 17 studies involving more than 500 men and women. Weight training reduced resting blood pressure by about 4 mmHg but had minimal effects on blood sugar, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, diastolic blood pressure or waist circumference. Weight training has a small effect on reducing resting blood pressure.

In people with chronic back pain, nearly 50% reported decreased sexual performance and enjoyment. Back and Spine expert Stuart McGill from McMaster University in Canada, and co-workers, found that doggy-style sex is the least stressful to the male spine, while the missionary position is least stressful to the female spine. As a compromise, doggy-style sex with weight supported on the forearms is best for minimizing spinal stress in men and women when both have back pain.
