Yoga Poses for Neck Pain

Neck pain is associated with the upper back and shoulders.  Repetitive everyday activity and certain yoga postures such as inversions can intensify those pains as well.

Inflamed, tight, overstretched, or underused muscles in the shoulders, rotator cuff and upper back can affect the neck and surrounding areas causing headaches, back and shoulder pain. Certain every day actions that require rotation of the head may be taken for granted when feeling healthy.

How Real Food Can Heal Almost Any Health Issue: 10 Healing Stories

Many people that I know believe that eating for health or weight loss means consuming any store-bought foods that are low calorie, low fat, low carb or low sodium. 

The problem is that, while consuming these foods may initially help you shed some weight, they can cause a large assortment of other health issues in the long run. This is because the majority of store-bought foods (at least in the U.S.) are filled with unnatural ingredients, like preservatives, artificial sweeteners and coloring agents that can cause cancer, ADHD, skin conditions, cell death, headaches, inflammation, asthma and more.

Real foods = foods that can be found in nature and are minimally processed. (No bleaching or other chemical processing, no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, not genetically modified)

Processed foods = what we find in boxes, bags, cartons or cans in the inner aisles of most grocery stores and in fast food restaurants. Contains artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors and highly refined oils.

Super Simple Fitness

I’m over those fitness magazine layouts with “12 Moves for a Better Butt” or “6 Exercises for Toned Thighs.”  Okay, those are great instructions and worth your while, but I’m busy, impatient and really all I want is a short list of what to do real quick in between laundry and breastfeeding.  I’m more likely to get the routine done if it’s short and sweet, and if I can do it without driving anywhere.
