WHY DO OUR FINGERS AND TOES WRINKLE UP?

WHAT CAUSES...

THE HICCUPS?

A common assumption is that wrinkling is the result of water passing into the outer layer of the skin and making it swell up. The truth may surprise you. When your fingers are wet and wrinkled, they provide better gripping powers. Wrinkled finger may have helped our ancestors gather food from wet vegetation—or wrinkled toes, for better footing in the rain.

WHY DO WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A LUMP IN THE BACK OF OUR THROAT? WHY DO CERTAIN SMELLS BRING BACK ALL THE FEELS? Ever Experience a giant whiff of nostalgia? Us, too. Maybe it’s the perfume your mom used to wear or the apple pie your grandma used to bake—no doubt, cer-

If you’ve ever watched Marley and Me, you know exactly what we are talking about. There’s nothing worse than that feeling you get in the back of your throat when you are sad or on the verge of crying—especially when you know nothing is physically there. Apparently, this is a counter-reaction to the body’s automatic nervous system. When humans are

exposed to stressful situations, the body automatically increases blood flow to vital organs and muscles. The vocal folds are opened, allowing your lungs to receive more inhaled oxygen that normal. Although this process is beneficial in real stressful situations when you wold need more oxygen, other times not so much. Our advice?

Just give in and cry.

tain smells can spark a flurry of emotional memories. After a smell enters the nose, it travels through the cranial nerve through the olfactory bulb (the emotional center of the brain), which helps the brain process smells.

As a member of the limbic system, the olfactory bulb has access to the amygdala, which also plays a role in emotional memories. This would explain why memories associated with smells feel nostalgic and emotional, rather than memories associated with words that feel concrete and detailed.

If you voluntarily ask someone to scare you silly, you might have a case of the hiccups.

These annoying gasps for air usually occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm.

This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords. This closure causes the “hiccup” sound. Usually, they only last minutes to a couple hours. If they last any longer—well, looks like you need to enlist a scarier person’s help.

WHAT CAUSES...

WHITE SPOTS ON FINGERNAILS?

WHAT IS A BRAIN FREEZE? Next time you eat your ice cream too fast, yell out “sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia.” That’s the scientific term for a brain freeze. A brain freeze is a shotterm headache linked to rapid consumption of cold food or drinks. When something cold touches the roof of the mouth, the sudden decrease in temperature stimulates nerves to cause rapid swelling of blood vessels in an attempt

to bring temperatures back up. Next, the dilation of blood vessels trigger pain receptors, which release pain-causing prostaglandins, increasing your sensitivity to further pain and producing inflammation while sending signals through the trigeminal nerve to alert the brain to the problem. No worries, though, The pain is short-lived. All that for a sundae? The answer is always yes.

The white spots on the nail you notice are not caused by a calcium deficiency.

These white spots in fingernails are called “leukonychia” and are very common. Most of the time the white spots simply are a sign of some past injury to the matrix (base) of your nails. By the time the white spot shows up (about six weeks after the injury) you’ve probably forgotten all about banging or knocking your fingers.

Stevia is a unique plant native to the areas near the rain forests of northeastern Paraguay. Stevia contains glycosides which are compounds within the leaves that give them their sweet taste. Glycosides are neither absorbed nor assimilated therefore there is no insulin response rendering stevia a zero on the glycemic index. In contrast, Splenda has a glycemic index of 80, sugar has a glycemic index of 70, meaning Splenda spikes insulin levels more than sugar does!

performed in Bulgaria and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) has been used clinically as a pharmaceutical agent in the treatment of hypogonadism as well as to increase fertility. hCG works by activating the Luteinizing Hormone/Choriogonadotropin (LHCG) receptors of the pituitary gland. The activation of these receptors causes the body to release a large surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, similar to the onset of puberty.

It then sends a chemical signal to the testes to increase steroidogenesis (production of androgen hormones) and sperm production in males.

A reduction in overall body fat has also been shown with hCG use, resulting in the widely popular hCG diet that is being prescribed by doctors. When choosing a natural hCG supplement, whether the reason is for increasing free testosterone levels or losing fat, make sure the hCG is in sublingual pellet form that dissolves

The efficacy of hCG is lost in liquid form and will not fully absorb into the bloodstream.

Another popular ingredient in natural testosterone boosters is Ovine Placenta Powder which contains high concentrations of Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin (eCG). The eCG in Ovine Placenta Powder acts as an orthologous hormone to hCG. It causes the same LH surge and increase in both testosterone and fertility.

Eurycoma longifolia extract, commonly referred to as “Longjack,� has the capacity to reverse the inhibitory effects of estrogen on testosterone production and spermatogenesis. It also has an effect similar to testosterone replacement therapy in counteracting osteoporosis.

What is

ELDOA?

ELDOA is a French acronym translating in English to LOADS (longitudinal osteoarticular decoaptation stretches). and is a revolutionary technique created by world renowned Osteopath Dr. Guy Voyer.

ELDOA is an innovative and revolutionary stretching method for the spine and improving joint mechanisms. They are highly effective solutions to spinal and joint compression and articular blocks that cause pain, arthritis and neurological conditions. Disc compression at any level of the spine can be addressed through a specific ELDOA exercise.

ELDOAs are postural self-normalizing techniques designed for widening the space within a chosen articulation. This is accomplished by creating fascial tension to fix the vertebra below and contraction in extreme range to normalize the vertebra above the targeted disc. For example, it is possible in one minute a day to relieve disc compression between T6-T7 or even more specifically at the base of the long arm of the left sacroiliac joint. Dr. Voyer developed an ELDOA exercise for every articulation in the spine starting at the base of the skull and ending with the sacroilliac joint. It is possible to create more room in a particular articulation with an exact position adapted to each person.

ELDOA postures are very specific compared to other techniques. Disc compression existing at any level of the spine can be addressed through a specific ELDOA exercise.

If a client experiences pain because of compression between the 5th lumbar and 1st sacral, the de-coaptation position should target this exact level and not the one above

or below. ELDOAs are not limited to just the spine. There are ELDOA postures for all joints of the sacrum and pelvis as well as the shoulders and skull.

Lower back pain is an uncomfortable and often debilitating condition that many people deal with on a daily basis. The ELDOA can effectively alleviate and over time help fix acute and chronic back pain. ELDOA exercises, when done on a regular basis, can help offset many of the risk factors that can cause degeneration and herniation of the intervertebral discs.

Fighting Cancer One Workout at a Time By: Shane Venezia What is 24 in 24?

24 in 24 is CrossFit No Surrender’s annual fundraiser against cancer, we will do and host 24 CrossFit workouts in 24 hours. Every hour on the hour we will start a new workout, each workout is pretty easy and is scalable for all fitness levels. We are asking the community to come out and join us, each workout is $25 to do.

How did it start?

The fundraiser is in honor of my sister, Renee Hamilton who had breast cancer in 2011, we did a “Fight Gone Bad” to help offset her chemo cost. I promised her I would do a fundraiser to battle cancer every year, so in 2012 “24 in 24” began.

What types of workouts are planned for the event and can any experience level participate?

The workouts are easy and ANY fitness level can do them. We will scale any and all movements to fit the athlete’s needs or fitness level.

What are the dates of the event and where is it located?

This year 24 in 24 will be held from June 10th @ 10am until June 11th @ 9am at CrossFit No Surrender located at 625 Plaza Drive in Covington.

How many years have you been hosting 24 in 24?

This year, we will celebrate our 6th year of 24 in 24 as well as raising over a quarter of a million dollars in the fight against cancer!

Making a splash on the mighty Tchefuncte! Annual dragon boat races return for 8th year!

QA

8th Annual Walgreens Greater New Orleans International Dragon Boat Festival

&

The popular Walgreens Greater New Orleans International Dragon Boat Festival returns to Madisonville on Saturday May 13th, 2017. The annual tradition brings the community together riverside, to the Tchefuncte River for a day of racing and festivities! If you’ve never experienced dragon boating or had the opportunity to check out the festival, it’s not something you want to miss! Here’s all you need to know about the fastest growing water sport and festival!

Q: What is dragon boating and who can participate?

A: Dragon boating is an ancient Chinese sport that dates back 2,500 years. It

came to North America about 30 years ago and has been growing rapidly around the world since then. As for what it is, imagine a 40-foot long canoe with a dragon head at the front and a dragon tail at the back. A drummer sits at the front of the boat to keep 20 paddlers paddling in sync as they race down an Olympic-style course.

Q: Is it a recreational or competitive sport?

A: Like any sport, there are many that take it seriously, but most do it for fun.

So much of the success of a dragon boat team is tied to how well the team works together. Thus, the sport is fantastic for team building. Most of the participation comes from local businesses, corporations, and community groups. The ease of entry into the sport is minimal. The festival provides the paddles, lifejackets, and boats, so a team of 20 just needs to show up ready to have fun and get a little wet.

Most paddlers’ first time in a dragon boat is during their 1-hour practice!

Saturday, May 13th

Q: What experience or skills are needed for dragon boating?

A: No experience is necessary to participate in the

sport or in the event! All shapes, sizes, ages, and skill levels are welcome. The beauty of the sport is that anyone can do it. Give a coach an hour in the boat with your team and you’ll be paddling in unison in no time!

Q. What are the physical benefits of the sport?

A: Dragon boating is fantastic for developing your

core strength. With very little impact, it is great for those with bum knees! It builds strong back muscles, strengthens obliques, abdominals, and lats. There has also been a lot of research on the positive effects of the sport for breast cancer survivors. As a sport, the benefits are both physical and mental for those young and old.

To Register Your Team Or For More Event Information, Visit

Q: How long is a typical race?

A: At this event, the course is 400m long. A race this

length will generally take a team 2-3 minutes to cross the finish line. Each team is guaranteed to race three times throughout the day and everyone has a chance of winning trophies and medals.

Q: What do event fees include?

A: Your event entry fee includes a 1-hour training ses-

sion with a paddling coach, a team tent in the Athletes’ Village on race day, and three races (qualifying, semi-final, and final race). All equipment is provided. Registration starts as low as $50 per person.

Q: What can we expect on race day?

A: Participants can expect lots of action both on and

off the water! In between racing, teams can check out festival zones like the Walgreens Health & Wellness Village, marketplace, family fun zone, and beer tent.

The event is open to the public so bring your family and friends to enjoy the festival grounds and cheer your team on!

GwnDragonBoat.com/neworleans

Q: Is a team of 21 necessary or can I register as an individual?

A: The event welcomes both types of registrations!

You can either put together a team yourself or you can sign up as a solo paddler, with the pay per seat option.

Q: Can a business register a team to represent their company?

A: Absolutely! The festival has a fun race dedicat-

ed with businesses in mind, called the Industry Cup Race. Teams belonging to a specific industry race against each other for bragging rights. On the flip side, a business with charitable initiatives, can use the event to fundraise for a local cause since dragon boat festivals have strong philanthropic ties! This event benefits Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.
