Exercises To Ease Neck and Back Pain

By
The Weekend Pages
-

Working remotely is becoming ever more popular these days, whether it’s by choice or not. But when you work from home, you may end up sitting (or standing) at your workstation all day. With a lack of separation between home- and work-life, there’s a higher chance for neck, shoulder and back pain.

It’s important to take micro breaks through the day to stretch your joints and muscles to prevent cramps, aches, and pain later.

Perform each movement for 45 seconds, repeating the sequence to complete two rounds. For movements isolating one side of the body, switch to the opposite side in the second round.

 

1. Reverse shoulder stretch:

A feel-good stretch that will open up your chest and shoulders while also helping your upper back

Target Muscle(s): Deltoids, Pecs, and Biceps

How To Do It:

1) Stand with your feet hip-distance apart

2) Clasp your hands behind your back

3) Fully extend your arms, and keep your elbows facing each other

4) Slowly lift your hands to stretch

2. Bridge:

This move helps for an achey lower back, not only by opening up tight hip flexors (a contributor to lower back pain) but by strengthening the core and glutes to help support.

Target Muscle(s): Lower Back, Gluteus Maximus, Adductors, Hamstrings, Calves, Core, and Abdominals

How To Do It:

1) Lay flat on your back with your legs hip-distance apart

2) Place your arms along your side with your palms flat on the floor

3) Bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the floor

4) Push to raise your hips and lower back off the ground, keeping your shoulders on the floor

5) Keep your body in a consistent gentle incline from your shoulders to hips and hold for 45sec

3. Seated Pigeon stretch:

An easy way to stretch your hips, butt, and thighs when you’re uncomfortable in your (potentially make-shift) office chair.

Target Muscle(s): Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Minimus, Lateral Rotators, Hip Flexors, and Quadricep

How To Do It:

1) Sit upright with both feet planted on the floor, directly under your knees

2) Lift your foot (with your hands, if needed) and set it on your opposite knee or thigh hugging your knee against your chest.

3) Keep your weight evenly distributed between your sit bones (for example: don’t lean more on your right side because your leg is lifted)

4. Seated Spinal Twist

Target Muscle(s): Spinal Muscles (Upper Back and Lower Back), Intercostal Muscles (Chest), Obliques, Abdominals, IT Band, Piriformis, and Gluteal Muscles

How To Do It:

1) Sit tall and upright on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you

2) Bend your left knee and cross it over your right leg

3) Place your right arm behind your left knee, and use it as leverage as you twist to your left

4) Hold for 30 seconds, then repeat on the other side

5. Seated Eagle Arm Stretch

Target Muscle(s): Trapezius and Rotator Cuffs

How To Do It:

1) Straighten your back so that your chest is tall

2) Bend both of your arms at a 90-degree angle, then cross them, placing one elbow in the crease of the other

3) Hook your wrists, so that your palms face each other

4) Slowly lift your elbows up while keeping your arms locked

5) Hold for 30 seconds, then repeat on the other side

6. Forward Fold

Target Muscle(s): Spinal Muscles (Upper Back and Lower Back), Piriformis, Hamstrings, and Calves

How To Do It:

1) Stand upright

2) Exhale as you bend at the hips, keeping your knees as straight as possible

3) Make sure to keep your hips aligned with your ankles, don’t tilt forward

4) Reach your fingertips to the floor, but if you can’t reach, grab behind your ankles/calves or cross your arms (clasp each elbow) and let your upper body hang

5) Keep your head and neck loose as you hang

How to boost your immune system naturally

How to boost your immune system naturally
by Natalie Le Bouedec DipNT, mBANT, mCNM

Now more than ever it is important to have a strong immune system, as it is our
body’s first line of defence against disease. A strong immune system is one of the
best ways to reduce the risk of catching diseases and is crucial in fighting these
quickly and effectively. The good news is that you can help strengthen your immune
system naturally and here are some top tips to help:

1.Get enough sleep
Research suggests that getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night is a great way to
naturally boost your immune system. When you sleep your immune system
produces proteins called cytokines, which help target infection and inflammation.
Getting a lack of sleep can seriously harm the immune system and leave you more
exposed to common colds and flu. In order to get a good nights sleep, research
suggests reducing screen time at least an hour before you get ready for bed.
Aromatherapy candles and sprays with essential oils, such as lavender, can also aid
relaxation and help you reach a deeper state of slumber and nutrients such as
Magnesium and Zinc.
2. Eat well to live well.

You are what you eat, literally! What you put into your body has a direct impact on
gut health and regulation of the immune system. Therefore, good nutrition is
important to a better functioning immune system. Eating at least 5 portions of fruit
and vegetables a day can help keep illness at bay and an antioxidant rich diet can
majorly boost the body’s immunity. If you want to help strengthen your body from the
inside out, make sure you pack in those antioxidant rich foods such as: berries, citrus
fruits, kale, carrots, and spinach. Plus fresh garlic has also been known to have anti-
viral and anti-bacterial properties.

3.Exercise
Even partaking in just 20 minutes of exercise 3 times a week can significantly
improve the body’s ability to fight off infections by enhancing the function of your
white blood cells. The endorphins that are released in your brain during exercise are
key agents to fight against stress and to help you sleep better. This simultaneously
makes you feel good in the moment, and boosts your immune system for the future.
Make sure however you are not exercising to close to bed as this may affect sleep
and some of the exercise you do is lower impact such as walking or yoga.

4.Stress management
Even though life can seem particularly uncertain and stressful at the moment, it is
even more important to take a minute to just breathe and try and relax. There is
extensive research suggesting that stress hormones, such as cortisol and
adrenaline, can be damaging to the immune system if they build up over time.
Taking time out of your day to meditate, or slowing down with some yoga, can help
you manage stress levels and have benefits to your health.

5.Taking probiotics
Probiotics are live microorganisms which naturally balance the bacteria in your gut,
therefore increasing your overall immunity and reducing the risk of disease. They
help the ‘good’ bacteria in your gut to outweigh the ‘bad’ bacteria and this greatly
increases the functionality of your digestive system, whilst also regulating your
immune system. 70% of our immune system lives in our stomach, so keeping your
gut balanced is an essential and easy way to maintain a strong immune system.

6.Last, but certainly not least, is vitamin intake
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and is fundamental in supporting many parts of
your immune defence system. Primarily, vitamin C encourages the production of
white blood cells, the body’s first defence mechanism against infection. It then helps
these white blood cells function more efficiently by boosting your blood antioxidant
levels, this protects the immune system by guarding cells from harmful molecules.
Vitamin C is not only crucial for the body’s internal immunity regulation, but also for
its external regulation as it plays an active role in the skin’s defence system and can
build up the skin’s barriers against infection.

Unfortunately our bodies do not naturally produce vitamin C so it must be sourced
externally. Whilst it is beneficial to eat citrus fruits and obtain vitamin C from food
sources, people often fall short of the recommended daily intake from food alone.
Zinc is another vitamin which is not produced by the body itself, but plays a vital role
in maintaining our immune system’s effectiveness. Zinc is a key factor in regulating
the strength of our skin cells and protecting the body against immunity depleting
cells.

Apple Cider Vinegar For Healthier Looking Hair

By
The Weekend Pages
-

When it comes to haircare, there are some ingredients that are like superheroes to our tresses. They may not get all the love and attention they deserve, but they come to the rescue when we’re feeling desperate. One of those tried-and-true ingredients I go back to over and over again is apple cider vinegar aka ACV.

We often hear of ACV being a go-to for busting belly bloat or making a healthy salad dressing, but apple cider vinegar is good to reach for when your mane is out of whack and needs a reset. “Apple cider vinegar is good for the hair because it’s rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamins C and B which are both great for strengthening the hair shaft. And even though it comes with a pungent, well, smell, the beauty benefits far outweigh the temporary nose discomfort.

Not to mention, you can snag a whole bottle of apple cider vinegar at your local grocery store, so there’s really no good reason not to give this a try.

Although it’s not the most luxurious formulation, apple cider vinegar is made from fermented apple juice. To get ACV, the juice of apples is combined with yeast that transforms the natural sugars into alcohol. This is what gives it that strong scent and zippy flavor. And while that may sound like it has nothing to do with haircare, it’s actually chock-full of good-for-your-hair benefits like antibacterial and anti-fungal properties that can bust dandruff, flakes and itchy scalps to the curb and help get rid of unwanted product buildup

So, why would I apply it to my hair?

  1. Apple cider vinegar can help balance and repair the scalp
  2. Apple cider vinegar can strengthen your hair
  3. Apple cider vinegar may help reduce frizz and boost shine
  4. Apple cider vinegar can help promote healthy hair growth
  5. What hair types is it best for?I’m sold. How do I use it?

1. Shampoo the scalp

Because, duh. The key to any hair treatment is to start with clean strands. Make your mixture

2. Make your mixture

Fitzsimons recommends mixing 3-4 tablespoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and 13/4 cups of cool water into a spray bottle. Then shake it up.

3. Apply to the hair

Here’s the fun part. Spray this solution all over your hair—from root to tip and generously on the scalp, too.

4. Massage it in

Once the solution is applied and the hair is saturated, use your fingers to massage it in. If you have a particularly dry, itchy scalp, give your scalp a little extra love.

5. Wait and rinse

After 2-5 minutes, rinse the solution out and follow with shampoo and conditioner. And voila! You’re done.
