Getting Back After Injury or Illness

Q:

I have been through illness and injury this year. I want to get back to the gym but seriously don't know how. Can you give me some tips?

W

e see clients every day who are going through physical recovery of one sort or another. Each of them has an injury or illness that prevents some exercises. The key to getting strong and healthy is to know what we are dealing with so we can avoid future injury. Here are a few tips to help you out. 1. Listen to Your Doctor If your doctor tells you to rest, or to refrain from using a certain body part‌ listen! Starting back too soon after a severe illness or injury could cause a major setback. The only thing worse than injury is, well, a worse injury! Don't risk it. 2. Work With a Professional Look for a trainer who will listen to you about your illness or injury and who is willing to work with you to achieve your goals without causing further injury. Do not try to fix your body without help. Professional trainers know how the body works and can help you step carefully through the process of healing. 3. Take Your Time Getting strong is not a sprint. It is more like a marathon. It takes a while to build the body back up after illness and injury and pushing the limits right out of the gate can cause further injury. Take it slow at first and build momentum as you get stronger. I hope this helps you get back to good health. If you need further help, please call me.

NUTRITION

The Label Means What it Says…

PHOTOS BY SYDNEY MARSING

…And little else.

W

By Sydney Marsing

ith most of us trying to make better food choices, food companies are adjusting to align their products with your goals. The cheapest way to do that is not by improving the quality of the food, but by tweaking the labeling. While some labels signify the food in question holds to a specific standard (“organic”), others are empty marketing ploys to imply the item is better than it is (“all natural,”) or even to spin a negative as a positive (“enhanced”). Here’s how to tell the gimmicks from the guarantees.

LUMINATE | OCTOBER 2014


THE GOOD Organic The USDA sets strict regulations for organic labeling, subject to regular inspections, audits and record keeping. Crops. Irradiation, sewage sludge, synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides, and genetically modified organisms were not used in growing. Livestock. Producers did not use growth hormones, antibiotics, parasiticides or unnecessary supplements, and did not add plastic, meat byproducts or feces to the animal’s food. (Yes, these are all real and legal practices in non-organic farming). All of the animal’s food must be organic too, and grazing animals must be allowed to graze. Grass Fed/Grass Finished Cows have evolved to eat grass. Grass-fed meat is generally leaner and higher in Omega-3s than grain-fed animals. Grass-fed beef tends to have yellow fat, not white, because it’s higher in carotenoids (the nutrient that creates Vitamin A and makes carrots orange). The grass-fed label does not preclude being raised on a feedlot; It simply means the animal had a grass diet for its entire life, according to the USDA. Grass-“finished” means it was switched to grass near the end of its life. No Antibiotics Farmers commonly use low, regular doses of antibiotics to speed growth and protect their animals from illness and the unsanitary conditions around them, reported the National Institute of Health. This widespread use is said to contribute the development of deadly super-bugs resistant to antibiotic treatment. Producers must demonstrate animals were raised without antibiotics in order to receive USDA approval to use on labels. No Hormones No artificial hormones were added. Don’t let this label sway you when it comes to poultry; Using hormones in poultry is illegal according to the USDA and should go without saying. Vegetarian Fed Grains are vegetarian, so see grain-fed below. On the one hand, it means the animals weren’t fed the ground up remains of their roommates, other farm animals, feathers, their own waste, or other animal byproducts. On the other, this is sort of a mixed bag for chickens, since they are not naturally vegetarian. They eat worms, bugs, and anything else they can get. Grain-fed might be an improvement on what they are traditionally fed, but if you’re aiming for a chicken with a healthy, unadulterated lifestyle, organic is still the way to go.

Tips from Dr. Schaffer

Blurry rry Blu Vision? Vision?

Might be dry eyes.

T

he Arizona climate, combined with ceiling fans and many medications, all conspire to worsen dry eyes. When light enters the eye, it encounters the tear layer first. An irregular tear film will cause blurred vision. Try the following to maintain a healthy tear layer for the sharpest vision:

1 Limit fan use (or n reverse fan direction

n

so air is pulled up).

2 Try an over-thecounter tear replenisher such as Thera Tears or Blink.

3 Your ophthalmologist n might prescribe

THE BAD Basted, Self-Basted or Enhanced The meat has been injected or marinated with flavor enhancers; anything from spices to salt water, extra fats or “other approved substances.” Even if it just looks like a plain chicken breast, double-check the ingredients list. Grain Fed Corn and other grains are cheap, massproduced foods that cause animals to gain weight fast and can wreak havoc on the their digestive system (increasing the need for antibiotics). With no exercise and a high-calorie diet, the cows end up higher in marbled fat, which is threaded through the meat and almost impossible to cut away. See grass-fed.

THE EMPTY Certified “Certified Angus Beef,” is an industry label given to meat that fits the definition of Angus Beef and meets certain standards that have more to do with taste and appearance than health or safety. A company can certify its own product as “Grade A” but must identify itself as the certifying organization. Halal or Kosher Slaughtered or prepared according to Islamic or Jewish law, respectively. May be good for your soul, but doesn’t say anything for your body.

Restasis, drops which help increase your eyes' ability to produce tears.

4 Your ophthalmologist n might insert a punctal

plug in the tiny opening in the corner of the upper and lower eyelids to conserve tears.

Every two to four years, get a full ophthalmic examination. Your doctor can determine whether your blurred vision is caused by dryness or something more serious.

Natural Made of 100 percent, uh… physical matter. No added sorcery. Probably. This term is so vague, the USDA requires meat products with the label to explain what is meant somewhere on the package. Usually, it means the product wasn’t drastically altered or filled with artificial ingredients. LUMINATE | OCTOBER 2014

NO PRIOR USDA APPROVAL NEEDED The following words and types of claims can be made without securing approval from the USDA

It says nothing about the quality of the food or its ingredients. Cage Free Means the animals weren’t in cages; It doesn’t mean they foraged, or went outside, or had any more personal space than they would have otherwise. Fresh The poultry has never been frozen solid. Free Range/Free Roaming The poultry had some kind of access to the outdoors. There are no stated requirements for the size of the access or the size of the outdoor area. There are a few third party organizations who perform voluntary audits with higher standards, but the label “free range,” per se, doesn’t mean much. “Pasture Raised” has no USDA definition yet, and so offers no measurable standard.

Tips from Dr. Greg

When Athletes Collide ootball, cheer, track, basketball and volleyball F provide better health

through competition, movement and exercise. But when a football player sustains an awkward hit, or a cheerleader gets dropped or lands abruptly, it's important to pay attention to signs that indicate a potential problem or unresolved injury. You might think these issues are unrelated, so it's easy to overlook them, but watch for: 1 Headaches n 2 Reduced motion n 3 Tingling, numbness n or burning 4 Constant or n intermittent pain 5 Muscle spasms n 6 Postural imbalances n

Signs of any of the above after a jolt might signal a neuromusculoskeletal issue. I have seen many athletes over the last 28 years, not only recover quickly from their injuries, but go on to set new benchmarks in performance, when treated promptly.

Black Beans

hey are cheap to produce, resistant to drought, and full of protein and key nutrients. No wonder black beans have been a staple in the Americas for thousands of years. Based on their nutritional content, one serving earns you credit for one serving of vegetables plus one serving of protein. Less than half a cup of black beans provides an excellent source of iron for most people, though women who are or might become pregnant need more than twice that amount. Black beans are a good source of B vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, and especially folate. Folate, or folic acid, has been shown to be key in preventing certain birth defects. And, preliminary studies show it may play a part in preventing several kinds of cancers, heart disease and dementia, and may increase the effectiveness of antidepressants. Black beans are also high in magnesium, which improves bone health and may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. SOURCE Black beans can, and have been grown locally and organically for thousands of years. Hopi black beans are naturally drought and heat resistant, and gardeners LUMINATE | OCTOBER 2014


can purchase packets online. Bean plants also add nitrogen to the soil, making it a natural fertilizer. HOW TO EAT Fish tacos with guacamole is an easy way to sneak a helping of fruits, vegetables, and seafood into the family's diet. CLEARING THE AIR ON GAS Like all beans, black beans can cause digestive distress in the form of gas. There are many recommended remedies for this: • Soaking dried beans overnight is said to help breakdown the complex sugars that cause gas. Discard the soaking water, rinse well and add fresh water to cook. • Ease into beans. Start with occasional small helpings and slowly increase over several weeks to give your body a chance to adjust. • Eat plain yogurt (with live active cultures) with your bean meal. The probiotics will help repopulate your gut with good bacteria to aid in digestion. • Drink mint tea after a bean meal. Peppermint relaxes the muscles that allow gas to pass. Avoid if you suffer from heartburn; mint can exacerbate the condition. • While supporting research is lacking, anise seeds have been used for centuries to aid in digestion. Indian restaurants often serve raw anise seeds after meals. Avoid if you have concerns about estrogen as anise acts similarly. LUMINATE | OCTOBER 2014
