Neck Pain

Shrug off that pain from your neck

Do you spend your day working at a computer terminal? Are you on a phone a lot? Do you do a lot of reading at your desk? If your answer is yes to any of the above, you may have the tight neck syndrome.

You might not notice it but your arms maintain the same angle which is, bent at the elbow in an L shape, while performing all those different jobs. Unless you make a concerted effort to loosen up the muscles that hold your arms up, your neck and shoulders are bound to pay the price. Here’s some exercise to help you loosen the tension in your neck and shoulder. Repeat each step three to five times.

Side to Side
After you’ve taken some deep, slow breaths, ease into your neck-relaxing routine by looking from side to side, first over your left shoulder and then over your right. Then jut your chin forward and back, like a pigeon.

Shrug
Lift both shoulders up to your ears and straightening your spine, drop them as low as you can.

Roll
Make circle with each shoulder separately. Lift and roll forward; reverse. Do with the other for balance.

With your hands on your lap, gently drop your chin against your chest and roll your head in a circle from left to right and then from right to left.

Pull
Leaning your head toward the left shoulder, place your left hand on the right side of your head and the other on your right shoulder. Very gently, try to pull your head away from your shoulder.

Press
Tucking you head into your chest, clasp your hands against the top of your head. Make a semicircle with your chin, moving from shoulder to shoulder. Don’t actually press your head down; until you’ve loosened up enough, your muscles may be too tight to allow complete flexibility.

Stretch
Stand on your feet, pull in your stomach, raise your arms and try some imaginary rope climbing. Really reaching up, alternate arms.

Windmills
Swing each arm clockwise separately and then swing counterclockwise.

Pressure
Resume your seat and place your right hand against your right cheek, give some resistance to your face as your head turns toward your hand. Hold for two counts. Repeat on the left side. Be sure to make the turn as far as possible in each direction before reversing.

Massage
To round out your relaxation programme, grasp the back of your neck above the hairline and knead downward. Or, if you rather use both hands, press two fingers on each side of your neck and move down into the shoulders. Whenever you feel a knot, press more deeply.

Constipation

Many of us lead such busy lives that we hardly pay any attention to whether or not we empty our bowels daily. Constipation is a very common problem and its seriousness we sometimes fail to realize. Constipation causes abdominal discomfort, bloated stomach, excess wind and piles. It makes us spend longer time in the toilet, lost concentration at work, frequent headache and skin problems. If not taken seriously it may linked to more severe problems like high blood pressure, backache, arthritis and several common cancers. The severity of constipation often increases with age and by ignoring, it is not going to get better and can get worse if steps are not taken to eliminate it. Unless we clean out our colon, we can never prevent health problem that can shorten our life or make senior years a miserable time. To clean out the colon, we must first, move our bowels daily, preferably twice.

If you are suffering from constipation and wish to get rid of it once and for all, you must start by making a few lifestyle changes, including eating a diet high in fibre, drinking plenty of water and exercising. If the diet lacks fibre, there’s not enough bulk to push wastes through the colon. Even though diet is a major cause of sluggish colon, simply eating better food is not the solution. Many who have switched to a natural raw food, properly combined diet, would still be constipated, as faecal matter has become so hardened and thickened that diet alone won’t do the trick. When this happens, taking a safe herbal tea to aid the elimination, and high fibre supplement often works miracles to restore regular bowel movement.
