Sports Injury Protection For Children

Dr. Steven J Brazis DDS describes the risks of dental injuries to children and young adults involved in sports. He suggests the use of mouth guards to protect the teeth and describes the different options for mouth guards.
Mouthguards are essential if your child is playing sports. Many organized sports require them, but if they are uncomfortable, children don’t always wear them. Parents should make sure they do.
The American Dental Association recommends a mouth guard for participation in the following sports: acrobatics, basketball, boxing, discus throwing, field hockey, football, gymnastics, handball, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, racquetball, rugby, shot putting, skateboarding, skiing, skydiving, soccer, squash, surfing, volleyball, water polo, weightlifting and wrestling.

A Discussion Of Yoga For Arthritis
Health and Fitness May 14th, 2008
In this article, I will attempt to set the record straight on the subject of yoga for arthritis.
One major problem with arthritis is the fact that it tends to rob the individual of a certain sense of freedom and of control. It often occurs later in life when the individual is already beginning to see other negative changes in lifestyle and capabilities. Adding the nagging and/or excruciating and sometimes seemingly random pain of arthritis and lack of mobility can be almost devastating for many people.
Nine of the ten questions I get about ballet is about turnout. Very few of us are born with the hip socket and flexibility that gives us the 180 degree look. I say “look” because it is very rare that a dancer actually has it, but the luckier ones are close.
It’s more important to hold the turnout that you do have….if you watch dance movies carefully you will see that the most brilliantly artistic dancers in the world are not necessarily born with a lot of turnout - and it doesn’t matter! That is the good news.
In the news recently, there have been warnings about toothpaste manufactured in China that contains a poisonous ingredient that is usually found in automobile radiator coolant. Rather than focus on the negative aspects of this news, and the poor standards used in manufacturing and exporting maintained in other countries, it may be a really good time to reflect on the standards that the American manufacturer maintains in the production of personal care products that we have, until this time, taken for granted.

Health and Fitness May 11th, 2008
Everyone, young and old, know how enjoyable playing jump rope can be. But these ropes are not only toys — they can actually also serve as effective (not to mention fun) exercise equipment.
Jump ropes are pieces of rope used for games and athletic training. Two handles are attached at both the opposite ends of the rope for the user’s grip. While holding the handles the user twirls the rope vertically over his body, jumping or skipping continuously over the rope to let it pass under the feet and over the head. Using a rope is an effective exercise used for cardio activities, warm-ups, and stamina training in sports.
