COMMON RUNNING PROBLEMS AND SOLUTION


COMMON RUNNING PROBLEMS AND SOLUTION

running

There is nothing I love more in this world than waking up bright and early and going for a run. When I was in high school, I ran track and cross country up until my senior year. Running is not only a great way to relieve stress, it is also a great workout. It keeps you in shape, doesn’t require any equipment, and unlike going to a gym, you can run anywhere at any time.
Here Are Reasons to Love Running
Longevity 
Running has been known to increase longevity. Every one hour of running can add as much as seven hours to a person’s lifespan.
Great Workout
Nothing burns more calories than running. While many spend hours at the gym lifting weights, doing crunches, and pushups, never getting the full results they are looking for, one hour of running burns twice as many calories as three hours spent at the gym.
Boosts your Mood 
Often when I’m running, I’ve noticed seeing other runners with happy smiles on their faces, that’s because studies have proven that running causes the brain to produce more Endocannabinoids, this increases your pleasure, giving you almost a high like feeling.
Problems Runners Commonly Face
Runners commonly face foot related problems, such as fasciitis, tendonitis, or some sort of nerve injury. Often many of these problems can be easily fixed by cutting back on running, or the proper footwear. Often, surgery is required to fix the problem, which can be a fairly simple procedure that will only take an hour. The concept of getting surgery scares some people, but it’s really nothing to worry about. Millions of people have foot surgery every year.
The surgery usually will take place in a small operating room. The room will be equipped with a mayo stand to allow the surgeon to conveniently access any tools he needs. The surgery should last no longer than two hours, and by the time you wake up you have zero recollection of what had happened.
Most Common Running Foot Injuries & Their Recovery Time
Plantar Fasciitis
If you happen to feel a stabbing sensation in the arch of your foot, or if you’re foot easily tightens up, you could possibly have Plantar Fasciitis. The pain is caused by a tear in the plantar fascia; this type of injury is common in people who run frequently.
Recovery Time
Massages, icing, and proper stretching can drastically help manage your pain. You’re likely looking at up to a month of recovery time, but every injury is unique, and recovery time can differ.
Posterior Compartment Syndrome
Have you ever gone for a run, and all of sudden your food goes numb? If this happens, you should make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. You could possibly have Posterior Compartment Syndrome. It’s a painful condition where a pocket of blood becomes trapped in the calf, which can cause your foot to go numb. This type of injury is commonly caused by overexertion and can be chronic. It’s very important to see your doctor right away if you have any sort of numbness to find out if you have Posterior Compartment Syndrome and to make sure it’s not a spinal or disk injury. It often goes away on its own, after plenty of rest.
Recovery Time
You should usually take it easy, relax, and try to refrain from any sort of strenuous physical activity. Recovery time can vary, depending on if you are suffering from acute or chronic Posterior Compartment Syndrome, and what type of treatment was performed. You should take at least a month to let your foot recover.
Stress Fracture
The worst thing in the world that can happen to a runner is a stress fracture. If you happen to have pain in your foot to the point where you can barely even tie your shoes, or walk to your car, chances are you could potentially have a fracture, especially if you’re a person who runs regularly. If you think you may have fractured your foot, you should seek medical treatment immediately.
Recovery Time
Recovery time for this type of injury can really set you back. Often, it can take between six months to a year, if surgery is required. But with the proper physical therapy, you can potentially be back on your feet in a couple of months.
Don’t let the worry of having an injury stop you from enjoying your run. Get out there, breathe in the fresh air, and get some well-needed exercise. It will make you feel great.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION TO LOSE WEIGHT


NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION TO LOSE WEIGHT

goal


Your 30 day workout plan to lose weight and burn calories is meaningless if you can’t stick to your goal. Every year, millions of women around the world put weight loss on their priority list, but most of them fail. All those weight loss tips for women won’t work if you can’t stick to your New Year’s resolutions. Here in this guide, we will show you how you can stick to your workout plan.

1.     Set goals correctly

It’s not always about your commitment or seriousness about goals, the reason you’re failing to lose weight can be your goal itself. When you develop weight loss plans, test your goals on the following five parameters. Check if your goals are specific, attainable, measurable, realistic, and time bound. If you see something missing, improve and revise your goals instead of blaming situations or yourself.

2.                 Create a new identity

If you want to develop a habit, you need to create a new identity. To do that, you need to start believing in yourself and in the new things about yourself. Instead of saying “I want to lose weight” be more specific about your goals and say “I want to burn these many calories” or “I want to lose 10 pounds (5 KG).” You have to decide what you want to become in the next 30 days and then prove it to yourself. For example, if you want to lose weight, be the person who walks at least 8,000-10,000 steps per day. Start now and trust your new identity.

3.                 Focus on habits

More than the goals, focus on the habits you have developed over the years. Just keep in mind that your end goal is based on dozens of habits and decisions that you’ve made before taking up the 30 day workout plan for weight loss. If you want to lose weight, let’s say 20 pounds(10 KG), your habits will determine whether you’ll lose that much weight or you will gain more. Once a habit is formed, it will become a part of your life and it won’t feel like a burden.

4.                 Set unavoidable reminders

Clear, well thought, and measurable goals mean more chances of success. A New Year’s resolution is like making a wish. If you forget it often and don’t pay attention to it, it will remain a wish. That is why you have to set reminders to turn wishes into reality. You do this by associating your resolutions with things you do every day. If you want to focus more on exercise, set a rule that every time you’ll use the bathroom, you will do 5 pushups. Or every time you watch a TV show or use social media, you’ll walk for 10 minutes. These natural reminders will make your goals achievable.

5.                 Stop making excuses

Many women give up on their weight loss goals because they make excuses. Recognize the excuses or lies you tell yourself because they hold you back. Stop comparing yourself to others and let go of what they say, think or should be doing. Don’t blame others or events for not being able to exercise or for not following a healthy diet plan. If you truly want to achieve something, you will make it happen.

6.                 Achieve your 30-day workout goal the fun way

Setting a goal is easy, but achieving it is different. The good thing is you can achieve anything while having fun along the way. You can use sticker charts or creative notes to track the progress. You can also gamify the entire process so that you won’t feel the burden of doing things you don’t want to – exercise, waking up early, eating veggies or drinking juice. Some people also announce their weight loss goals on social media, but be careful about the people you have in your friend list because not everyone is going to see it in a positive way. And most importantly, you would not want everyone around you talking about your fitness goals all the time.

7.                 Get support

Having someone to share the success and struggles makes accomplishing your weight loss goals easier. If your family and friends are not into it, find communities online where you can read new experiences of people who share the same interest. Ask questions, tell your goals and also start posting about the progress you make. Some people will be very honest with you and they will help you stay on the right track.

What Happens to Your Body When You Don’t Get Enough Sleep.


SLEEP


What Happens to Your Body When You Don’t Get Enough Sleep
·         Increased risk of type 2 diabetes: Women who sleep less than five hours a night have the most risk of type 2 diabetes.
·         Elevated blood pressure: Just one night of no sleep can cause your blood pressure to spike. If your sleep problems are long term, you are more at risk for long-term heart problems.
·         Weight gain: Not sleeping increases a biochemical in your body called ghrelin. This causes your body to gain weight rather quickly making exercise more of a priority in your life.
·         Short and long-term memory problems: Certain stages of sleep are needed to support nerve connections to the brain. Without these stages, you will experience memory loss.
·         Increased stress: Not sleeping one night or multiple nights can cause you to become irritable and more stressed out towards things that do not normally bother you.
What to Do if You Are Not Getting Enough Sleep
If you find yourself not getting sleep at night, it is important to take action immediately and not wait until it becomes a long-term problem. Some ways to help you get the extra hours of sleep you need are as follows:
·         Change your sleeping position: Something as simple as sleeping in a comfortable recliner, can help you get more sleep by changing positions and getting your body in a more comfortable, suitable position.
·         Setting a routine: By setting a specific time to go to bed at night, you will get your body and mind in a routine, making it easier for you to get to sleep.
·         Sleep aids: Although it is never the first suggestion, sometimes sleep aids can be essential to you getting the 7-9 hours of sleep needed to make it through your day.
·         Sleep study: By having your doctor conduct a sleep study, you can find the source of your problem and start creating a plan to help you get more sleep at night instead of lying there helpless, waiting for even just one hour or sleep to come.
·         More physical activity: Even just exercising more throughout the day will help tire your body which will allow you to fall asleep faster and for a longer period of time.
·         Changing your meal plan: Trying to avoid consuming sugar or caffeine a few hours before bedtime is very critical to making sure your body and mind are both tired when laying down at night.

Benefits of Sleep
Just by getting the correct amount of sleep per night (7-9 for adults), you will notice your mental state and physical health start to improve. Sleep is not just important for you to not feel “tired” throughout the day, but it is also critical to your health. Just by sleeping your 7-9 hours a night, you are allowing your mind to refresh and your body to rest, allowing you to wake up feeling healthy and aware. The greatest benefit of sleep is a healthy heart, as lack of sleep can cause high blood pressure levels and great amounts of stress.
Reasons Why You are Not Getting Enough Sleep
There is a wide variety of reasons why people are not getting the correct amount of sleep at night. These reasons include stress, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, and many other medical conditions. When your brain is not able to shut down at bedtime, it can and will keep you up half the night or even wake you up just after after a few hours of sleep making for a long day of yawning and being sluggish. This can cause even more stress on your body than needed. For individuals suffering from chronic pain, sometimes sleep is just not an option and a visit to the doctor is the only reasonable way out. At your doctors, they can assess you further and make a plan to help you get in every hour of sleep you possibly can.

HOW TO COUNT CALORIES

1

Locate the nutrition facts on the item’s packaging. In many parts of the world, food manufacturers are required by law to provide nutritional information on packaged food products. This information is presented in the form of a chart, which can usually be found on the back or side of the package. If you’re curious about what you’re eating, the nutrition facts label is where you  look first.
calorie counter


Note the amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fat contained in the item. When assessing a food’s nutritional value, you should look at 3 things: protein, carbs, and fat. These macronutrients account for all of the calories in the item (aside from calories from alcohol). As a result, the exact amount of each macronutrient indicates what proportion of the total calories they make up.

  • Alcohol also contains a significant number of calories. Each gram of alcohol is about 7 calories.


3
Multiply each macronutrient by its caloric equivalent. A gram of protein is estimated to contain about 4 calories. A gram of carbohydrates also has 4, and a gram of fat is worth a whopping 9 calories. If the item you’re eating contains 20g of protein, 35g of carbs, and 15g of fat, this means you would multiply 20x4, 35x4, and 15x9 to find the number of calories contributed by each macronutrient—80, 140, and 135, respectively.

4
Total the calories for each macronutrient. Now that you know how the calories are divided up, add together each individual count to get the combined calorie count for one serving of the item. Going off the previous example, 80 + 140 + 135 = 355 calories. This number should correspond with the estimate displayed on the item’s packaging

5
Take serving size into account. Be aware that the figures for both the calories and macronutrients represented in the nutritional facts only indicate a single recommended serving. If there are multiple servings included in the package, the total number of calories will actually be much higher. This can be an important fact to keep in mind if you’re tracking calories as part of a diet or exercise plan.
