Joint and Muscle Pain

 

There is an epidemic of joint and muscle pain. Around 50% of people are putting up with anything from severe pain to constant niggles. The cause? Trauma excepted, most joint and muscle pain is a symptom that the skeleton is out of alignment due to tight muscles taking it out of alignment or poorly supported by weak muscles. ie it's personally-generated. That's the bad news. The good news is that with both a general and targeted flexibility and strength training program there's more than a better than even chance most joint and muscles pain will go away: no rubbing, crunching, heating, icing, vibrating, hanging-upside-down, doping or surgery.

Diet

 

How to eat wisely in a junk food world, that is the question.

I spell out the distinction between good food and junk food. 33 pages

We’re living in the junk food era characterized by cheap, tasty, energy dense, manufactured food that comes packaged, either ready to eat or ready to heat up and serve with minimal inconvenience. The fast food division of the food manufacturing industry is dedicated to providing its customers with instant gratification. I was going to write ‘culinary gratification’ but for most of this food you won’t need a knife, fork, spoon or chop stick to get it into your mouth. 51 pages

The GI concept doesn't make clear enough the distinction between eating fresh and natural food and junk food. Fresh food should always take precedence over junk food. As it stands a handful of peanut M&M's (33) looks a better food choice than a handful of raisins (64). As I see it, there are ten reasons to suggest that the GI model, (concept or theory) about how to eat wisely is a side show. Get the book and read on ... 11 pages

Reducing your body weight by 1% per week is achievable. OK, it's a stretch, but not beyond reach, providing you eat from the top of the Hourglass, you don't eat too much and you get over 1000 aerabytes of aerobic exercise each week.. The program comes with a spreadsheet which you can use to track your progress. 11 pages

Inner mental training audio files

 

Through introspection, reflection, contemplation, meditation, inner mental training and autosuggestion we have the ability to change what's going on inside our heads, in both the conscious and sub-conscious minds. You can, metaphorically give yourself a mental health defrag; remove or change some of the old programs that are holding you back, and reprogram yourself so you can (as Thoreau said) 'go confidently in the direction of your dreams'. Along the way you may have insight, discernment, understanding and awareness of how you tick, how the universe works, what's going on around you and what you need to do to live that Bertrand Russell and James Rohn called 'the good life'.

 

Stay focused.

 

A relaxing rendition of Emile Coue's classic 'Day by day in every way I'm getting better and better'. If you want things to get better - physical and mental, if you want to psyche yourself up to move forward in the direction of your goal(s) this might be the audio file that gets you there.

You're roaring through life at a frenetic pace, rushing around like headless chook, all the pressure indicators telling you you've got to slow down. Push your seat back, lock your tray table forward, pull down the shade, put your headphones on, make yourself comfortable, close your eyes and start becoming more and more relaxed.

If you want to lose weight it's best you psyche yourself up, switch on your subconscious and get it working for you. Losing weight can be a tough assignment. 1% a week is no push-over. You need to keep your mind on the job.

If you want to relieve joint and muscle pain you need to stay focused on doing the strength and flexibility exercises that you need to do to be pain free. Get into your mind the picture of a person in good alignment, a person without aches and pains, a person committed to achieving those two objectives.

 

 

This audio file will help you program yourself to make physical activity a daily part of your life. To become fit and healthy to the best of your ability you need to harness your mental resources to keep your mind on the job.
