The benefits from Fish Oil

I know, it sounds too slimy and smelly to be good for you but fish oil has more to offer than most people realize.  Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.  Omega-3s are essential fatty acids (EFAs) that our bodies are unable to create on their own.  There for, we must obtain EFAs from food.  Most people don’t get enough of these polyunsaturated fats from there diet.  This is why supplementation with fish oil can be so important to our health.

Most scientists and health professionals agree that omega-3 fish oil contains an array of health benefits pertaining to areas of the body such as your:

Heart

Are you sabotaging your weight loss with high sugar drinks?

In a recent Canadian study, 47% of daily calories come from fluids such as juice, pop and energy drinks.
The culprit is the high content of sugar in most drinks. The sugar is too much for the body to metabolize so it ends up being stored as fat.
Did you know that a 6oz glass of orange juice has the same amount of calories as a can of pop? A can of pop has approximately 12 tablespoons of sugar!
If you are looking to shed a few extra pounds, pay attention to how you are quenching your thirst. Replace juice and pop with water.
Increasing your intake of water will aid in digestion and weight loss.

How to break up scar tissue

Active Release Technique (ART®) is great for breaking up scar tissue, increasing range of motion and function of muscles.  When muscles are tight or injured, it creates a lack of oxygen and nutrients into the tissue, therefore rendering it insufficient and hypoxic.  Under these conditions, scar tissue and fibrous adhesions   will build up.  It is important to solve these problems early. Like any other injury, the longer you wait to treat it, the worse it gets, and more difficult it becomes to treat the problem.  For more information on ART®, and ART® certified practitioners at Form & Function, CLICK HERE.

Ice or heat?

Use ice for all new sprains, strains and bruises.  Ice will help control the inflammation, swelling and pain.  This will aid in a faster and less painful recovery.  Apply ice to the affected area for 15-20 minute cycles on and off.  Do this as soon and as often as you can – especially in the first 48 hours.  Also, ice is great for chronic/overuse sports injuries (i.e. shin splints, tennis elbow).  Always ice after activity and not before.

Use heat for chronic injuries before your activity.  Heat will help promote blood flow to the area, loosen tissues and relax injured areas.  Heat the affected area using a heat pack or hot towel for no more than 20 minutes before activity.
