Training Specialization: Women’s Fitness
Comments Off
Until recently (the last decade or so) fitness experts believed that men and women could be trained the same. However, research over the last few years has shown that women are in need of different fitness training protocols. They began to see topics such as menopause, pregnancy and pelvic health were all topics that require specific attention.
With the emergence of this information, a variety of organizations and educational programs have popped up to try and fill in knowledge gap regarding fitness training for women. A few of these stand out as leaders in this segment of the industry.
One such organization, the Women’s Health Foundation (WHF), believes that women need individual attention. WHF mission is to improve all women’s pelvic health and wellness by being proactive in current research, serving as a national resource on female pelvic health, and developing education programs related to pelvic health. WHF has already, through a partnership with individuals at the Loyola University Medical Center, found that specific exercise techniques (specifically called the “Total Control Program” through WHF) have been effective in improving incontinence and bladder control during both the initial and long term (one year after research trial) follow up.
Another organization leading the way in female health is Healthy Moms (HM). HM is dedicated to enhancing the well being of women before, during, and after pregnancy. In addition to keeping “moms healthy”, HM provides various resources for health and wellness professionals that care for women throughout pregnancy. One of the resources they provide is their “Healthy Moms Advanced Perinatal Fitness Instructor Training Course”. This program helps prepare fitness professionals for creating specific programs that can meet the needs females that are pregnant from the first trimester to delivery.
In addition to their advanced perinatal course, they also provide a variety of other useful programs and information. Areas such as on-site seminars, perinatal specific classes offered at various locations throughout the country, & free tips, advice and articles on their website, are all provided to help those either preparing for pregnancy or in pregnancy be as ready for each stage as possible.
Colleges throughout the country are also beginning to see the importance of women’s health training. Specifically they are offering an ONLINE female fitness/wellness education program titled “Women’s Exercise Training and Wellness”. School’s involved in offering this program include:
*Chicago State University
*State College of Florida
*University of Southern Mississippi
*Washington State University
The goal of this program is to educate an individual in how to establish an exercise program specific to women’s needs. The program covers topics such as musculoskeletal and functional anatomy of the female pelvis, the hormonal/endocrine system, bone density, pre and postpartum fitness, & breast, ovary and uterine cancers.
It’s important, with how many women make up part of your total membership/client base, that you have the skills necessary to properly train them. By utilizing the above mentioned resources, you will guarantee your female clients better results.

Agarikon (Fomes officinalis) – Oldest Medicinal Mushroom Nearly Extinct
Comments Off
One of the longest living perennial mushrooms in the world, Agarikon (Fomes officinalis) can live for an astounding 50 years or more, a fact that’s all the more impressive because it only grows on trees that are already old to begin with. Agarikon’s survival is therefore dependent on our rapidly vanishing old growth forests.
Fomes officinalis is first mentioned as a medicinal mushroom by Greek physician Dioscorides in the Materia Medica of 65 B.C. where it was listed as a remedy for tuberculosis. This makes it the oldest medicinal mushroom in Western literature. [25] Written records and oral traditions from Poland and other areas of Europe suggest that Fomes officinalis was in fact the principal medicinal mushroom of ancient Europe as a whole, not only Greece.
Unfortunately, Agarikon (Fomes officinalis) is no longer a European folk remedy. It may actually be extinct in Europe today, due to its requirement of old growth forests. In fact, it is mostly extinct in North America as well; except for Washington State’s last remaining old growth rain forests. Hopefully this last refuge will be preserved for future generations. If not, at least the precious genetic material of this potentially powerful medicinal mushroom can be saved through cultivation. Two U.S. companies that currently cultivate and sell Fomes officinalis are Mushroom Harvest out of Ohio and Paul Stamets’ Washington based business Fungi Perfecti.
Historically, Fomes officinalis was used in the form of a poultice to treat skeletal pain and muscle pain, and as a tea for lung conditions such as pneumonia and tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis).
Supporting this information is a Polish article from 2001 by K. Grzywnowics titled Medicinal mushrooms in Polish folk medicine. While it was still common in Poland, Fomes officinalis was used to treat lung conditions like coughing and asthma, and skeletal conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, but also open bleeding and infected wounds. In Polish tradition, Fomes officinalis tea was considered a life prolonging elixir. [147]
But Europeans did by no means have exclusive knowledge of the healing benefits of Fomes officinalis. According to oral traditions of some Native American tribes, it was used as a remedy against smallpox and other diseases brought to the Americas by Europeans. (Note: No written evidence exists to corroborate this claim.) One of these tribes was the Haida of the Pacific Northwest Coast, among whom a mythological reverence of the Agarikon mushroom also connects it with female sexuality and the female creator spirit known as Raven.
Two mentions in modern scientific literature include Agarikon extract with other mushrooms that elicit a strong immune enhancing effect in subjects. [148, 149]
Finally, it should be noted that in spite of its common name synonyms “Quinine Fungus” or “Quinine Conk,” Agarikon does not contain the compound quinine and is not effective in the use against malaria.

A Look At Post Menopause Symptoms
Comments Off
There are a variety of post menopause symptoms that women should become familiar with, especially as they advance in age. This is not as life shattering as many presume, however, menopause is a significant change in life that every woman will be forced to deal with eventually.
This significant change in life will have a different impact on different women. Defined as the end of the menstrual cycle, this stage in life will officially begin approximately one year after the final period of a woman’s life. Although there is no set date for when this change will occur, women around the age of 50 should begin exploring this topic and preparing themselves.
As a woman enters this stage in life, there can be some dramatic impacts on day to day life. There is ultimately no real way to predict how menopause will affect someone. There are, however, many signs and symptoms that are worth becoming familiarized with, and things to be mindful of as this time approaches.
A very common experience is frequent and sudden feelings of intense heat. During the day they are referred to as hot flashes, and at night they are called night sweats. Many will experience some significant and sudden changes in mood, and these mood swings can range from mild and controllable to very extreme. Changes in sexual functions and libido may take place, as well as headaches, insomnia, hair growth, and trouble with concentration and memory.
There is the potential for more serious long term effects that should be taken seriously. For instance, there may be an increase of the risk of coronary heart disease and osteoporosis. Muscles may deteriorate, and vision can suffer as well. Other problems with normal brain and bladder functions may also occur.
Most are able to overcome these issues and will be capable of leading completely normal lives. However, if these post menopause symptoms have become apparent, it will be very important to schedule an appointment with a doctor. This is important for gaining an official diagnosis, a detailed analysis of this individual’s particular situation, and the appropriate ways of overcoming this significant change.

Brazilian Fightwear For The Astute Fighter
Comments Off
A celebrated martial art form like jiu jitsu which is a self defense system enjoys acceptance among people of many different countries. The most common moves in jiu jitsu are grabbing, wrestling and choke holding which mostly land at least one person on the floor. For this reason, among many others, the most apt brazilian fightwear has to be worn while practicing jiu jitsu.
The core belief of this combat form is that even a tinier person can defeat a larger enemy using tactical leverage and proper technique. These include joint locking and choke holding. These and the other moves in Jiu Jitsu entail swift thinking and movement on one’s part.
In order to be able to execute this, a certain kind of clothing is to be worn during practice and the uniform code has to be strictly followed during tournaments. The fightwear has to be light weight to enable the fighter to do his best. It should be able to handle the pressure at joints and must not rip easily.
The fightwear has to be roomy but not too loose. This will ensure that all the movements of the hands and legs are unhindered. If it is also heat resistant and absorbent, the fighter stays cool. Pre shrunk fightwear offer best value for the price.
Different kinds of events require different kinds of fightwear. For grappling, shorts with drawstrings and velcro are used. They have more leg space and are convenient for the fighter. A thicker collar helps make the kimono hard to hold on to. So, it is easier to get out of a grab. A rubber collar may also help protect the neck and is again, harder to get a hold of and maintain a grip.
There are some specifications that are laid down by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation regarding the uniform for events. No-gi events must have participants wearing black board shorts with black or white rash guards. Women can wear lycra shorts or pants. But, the color must strictly be only black. At least a ten percent of the uniform must indicate the rank color of the participant. New printing techniques like fiber infused printing allow the print to last. Logos can be used anywhere on the shorts and the trim can be of any color according to choice.
The crotch part of the shorts should be comfortable and must not ride up during training. It is better if the crotch is seamless. A stretchable durable material allows maximum comfort. Light weight and feather light fight wear are very useful when weight in is a little problematic for example, during weigh ins. Or, if a lighter Gi is required during the training sessions that can get very hot and sweaty.
Fightwear sizing is different from the regular clothes sizing. Specific kimono sizing charts are available online. Accessories like gloves, shin pads and mitts may also be purchased. These can be bought as a set for some savings.

Are Organic Skin Care Products Better than Any Others?
Comments Off
There are a growing number of products on the market that claim to help you avoid or reduce the signs of aging on your face, but unfortunately a high percentage do not live up to those claims. This has led many consumers to closely analyze what they are purchasing. Many are thus wondering whether organic skin care products are really any better than the others.
The short answer is an exuberant yes! Organic products can be a million times more effective than other products on the market, even when compared to some of the biggest brands out there. That said, they also can be healthier for your skin over time.
The little known fact is that many of the ingredients found in the most popular skin products can cause damage if used for long periods of time. Most people are unaware of these ingredients and will buy the product unknowingly, as long as some of the most popular and hyped up ingredients are prominently listed on the label.
So, why would a manufacturer do this? Again, the short answer comes down to the bottom line. If they can include a very small amount of a truly beneficial ingredient and then fill the rest of the cream or lotion with cheap substances and chemicals, they can still sell the product for a high price and bring in a nice profit.
Most organic products step out of this mold and include more of the actual ingredients that will truly benefit your face. These products will use all natural ingredients rather than substances that could damage your skin.
Learn to read the labels and do research online to ensure that the products you purchase include a high concentration of the best ingredients. In most cases, you will end up purchasing organic skin care products because they simply deliver more of the good stuff without the harmful “fillers.”

They will move your bowels and get your digestive system moving along a small a lot more smoothly, yes, but to not the extent that the copy on their packages would have you believe. This can be since of two elements. One, the definitely powerful stuff would, very understandably, be priced a great deal higher than average.
On a related note, this signifies also that there is a spectrum of these goods, from inexpensive and not very useful to costly and incredibly successful. Marketers expect that you’d probably start from the bottom rung and move bigger and higher as you continue to be disappointed using the marginal improvements.
What’s additional, these finest colon cleanse items are consumable.

To give you an idea of how very much this ends up costing you, doing a regular detoxification of your bowels every single month would set you back nearly five hundred dollars or even a lot more in a year! That is when you use only the best stuff that genuinely functions nicely. Even so, you ought to realize that it really is quite probable to flush out the toxins and dirt from your body for very much less, maybe just a hundred dollars a year.
