Shin splints, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome

Image
Shin splints, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome, is the catch-all term for lower leg pain that occurs below the knee either on the front outside part of the leg (anterior shin splints) or the inside of the leg (medial shin splints). The condition typically involves only one leg, and almost always the athlete’s dominant one. If the athlete is right-handed, he or she is usually right-footed as well. Thus, the right leg of this individual would be more susceptible to shin splints. Risk factors for medial tibial stress syndrome What factors put physically active individuals at risk to develop medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS)? • body mass index (BMI), navicular bone drop (the navicular bone, one of the small bones located at the instep or arch of the middle of the foot, drops out of place as the foot-arch complex becomes unstable due to excessive pronation (tilt). • ankle instability causing hyper plantar-flexion range of motion • quadriceps angle, • hip instab...

Some useful tips for persons who are around 40 years or more

Image
Usually citizen who are round 40 years of age or more have generalized low level pains like an unwelcome house guest. They’re usually present with climbing stairs or when they first get moving after sitting. A recent Study state that as we age, a gene (SIRT1 or SIRTUIN1, which has been associated with longevity, so called regenerative gene ) gets stimulated less and less, which then results in the cartilage cells becoming less stable and prompts them to produce less of the Chemicals that help to absorb pressure, likely leading to osteoarthritis. What’s also fascinating isThat the SIRT-1 gene activation is also lessened by diabetes and pre-diabetes( Pre-diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as full-blown diabetes) conditions, so that Diabetics and pre- diabetics have shorter life spans and more knee arthritis. It has been also reported that consumption Of less calories (to say 20%) , even when b...

Eating after 7 pm may help you to gain weight, choice is yours!!!!!! And concern about artificial sweeteners

Image
While many studies have also made the link between late night eating and weight gain, lowered metabolism, and sleep disruption, this one also adds increased insulin, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels, which could lead to a higher risk for diabetes, heart disease, and more. Engaging in Late Night Eating? New Study Compares Earlier Eating to Delayed Eating The new study, published in SLEEP: Official Publication of the Sleep Research Society (abstract 0064) and presented at the SLEEP Conference in Boston early this month, looked at eight adults of normal weight. The subjects underwent eight weeks of daytime eating, a two-week break, and then eight weeks of delayed eating. For the purpose of the study, daytime was defined as 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and delayed eating was defined as noon to 11 p.m. For both sessions, eating consisted of three meals and two snacks of equivalent nutrient value, sleep time was the same, and exercise was controlled and consistent. Weight, metabolism, and ho...

Good sleep is necessary to purify memories

Image
A new study sheds light on the relationship between sleep and memory as it suggests our brain gets rid of unimportant memories. Why? To make room for fresh, new learning the next day. How the brain does this lies in our synapses in our cerebral cortex and that good night’s sleep. What Are Synapses? Synapses are the communications points between two neurons, the nerve cells that make up our nervous system. One neuron sends signals to another neuron through these synapses via a complex system of channels, synaptic vesicles, neurotransmitters, and more. Synapses vary in sizes and the bigger the synapse, the stronger it is. This is because bigger synapses contain larger numbers of neurotransmitters and other structures that make up the synaptic junction. These bigger synapses hold those memories our brain doesn’t want us to forget. The cerebral cortex, the four lobes (frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital) of the brain, packs in hundreds of trillions of neurons, all communicatin...

Association between chronic backache and depression and anxiety , role of prolotherapy

Image
      In new research, a multi-national study led by the University of Sydney found a significant association between chronic low back pain and increased risk of depression or anxiety. This agrees with another new study which tells doctors to recognized anxiety and depression in back pain patients so they could treat them better. This is can be a complicated subject for some doctors in so far that it can be difficult to determine if depression is causing back pain, or if back pain is causing depression. One this shown is that people with depression are more prone to have episodes of low back pain.3 Further compounding this research is another study that questions if opioid pain killers are effective for patients with depression and anxiety. Worse patients with depression and anxiety are more prone to prescription abuse. Patients suffering from back pain related to depression or intensified because of depression SHOULD NOT be recommended to spinal s...
