Do you suffer with back stiffness or sciatica? I used to. It definitely is agonizing and what’s even worse is that it can rob you of your life. All of a sudden even the most elementary stuff like walking, going to work, or maybe playing with your children can become a great struggle against discomfort.

Successful weight loss is not just a matter of losing pounds. The emphasis needs to be on abandoning body fat and avoiding loss of lean body tissue, primarily muscle mass. Why is this the key to long-term success? Because muscle requires 15 times the energy compared to fat to survive (7.5 Calories per day for muscle versus 0.5 calories per day for fat). The more lean tissue, the more calories one can consume once desirable body weight is achieved. Overall, a moderate diet of at least 1000 calories of high quality food per day and exercise is clearly the best approach because 80% of the weight lost is fat. This plan protects lean body mass, which is critical to keep from gaining the weight back again.

Even though I’m a chiropractor in San Diego that promotes alternative medicine, like it or not, some health crises require medication. The question is, just how safe are your prescription pills? Your physician prescribes them and they are FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved. But are they safe? Studies show that you may not be as safe as you would like to be! No drugs – not even aspirin is 100% safe. Whether you realize it or not, whenever you take a drug, you are weighing the potential benefits against the possibility that the medicine can hurt you.

Chefs are in constant on-the-job danger. They use knives of all sorts, and can doubtless cut themselves handling sharpened utensils as well. Then there are the ovens and burners, boiling liquids, steamy pots, and all sorts of other potential ways to get burned. Angry customers are another worry for professional chefs – your clients have to be content so they will keep coming back. On top of all that, chefs also need to worry about standing on hard floors all day. Standing all day can be difficult on the feet, ankles, knees, hips and back, so they must be careful in their choice of clogs for women.
