What does cramping and back pain in between your periods mean?

admin — Sun, 10 May 2009 04:59:33 +0000

I had my period that was 3 weeks late. Then my next two were a couple days early. In between my last period and this one (around the middle of my cycle) I had two different days, about a week apart from each other that I had bad cramping and back pain. No bleeding. Then my period came 3 days late. I have never been regular, but this pain in between is not normal for me. What could be causing this? I'm not pregnant.

Sensible Methods To Shed Pounds

Eight Sensible Methods to Shed Off Those Pounds

Losing weight is really not as mind-boggling as you think. Here are eight simple and very easy ways on how you can shed off those unwanted pounds without going overdrive on the latest diet and exercise trends.

Learn about the Food Pyramid.

The food pyramid is a graphic representation of the food groups and the quantity or percentage of which that is needed by our body on a daily basis. If you are confused on how to balance your meals, you can always look at the food pyramid as your guide to healthy eating and living.

Go for grains!

Carbohydrates are the bodyGÇÖs main source of energy since they are the easiest to metabolize, making them readily available for the cells of the body. Instead of going zero on carbs, how about if you take in whole grain bread that is not only high in fiber, but is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals?

Glow your way back to health.

Did you know that there are essential vitamins and minerals that can only be made available for the body by taking in certain fruits and vegetables? Apart from the vitamins and minerals, this food group also has numerous antioxidant qualities that actually help the body fight aging and even certain cancers!

Be fat-choosy.

Not all fat is bad for the health. In fact, there is one type of cholesterol, called the HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) that actually does more good than harm to the body. This type of cholesterol actually carries cholesterol away from the bodyGÇÖs blood vessels to the liver where it is passed from the body.

Learn how to get the good fat going.

Believe it or not, these ways can actually boost your bodyGÇÖs HDL level: aerobic exercise, smoking cessation, cutting back on prepared foods that have partially hydrogenated oil on its label, lots of soluble fiber, and one to two drinks of alcohol per day even!

Lean back on salt.

Too much salt causes the body to retain water. Adding one plus one, you might as well add those same figures to the scale.

Curb that urge for inebriety.

Contrary to the notion that calories only come from food, drinks do contain calories as well. Alcohol is one of those few drinks that would fall under the category of empty calories.

You are what you eat GÇô and drink.

Choose what you drink as well. Mellow down on beverages that are processed, such as soda and the like. Go for fresh fruit juices and low fat milk instead.

Strengthening Exercises for your Back

admin — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:38:55 +0000

Most of the people today suffer from back pain because of the week muscles of the back, abdomen and buttocks. It is therefore important to do regularly some back strengthening exercises which will provide some additional support and strength to the spine of back. There are many back strengthening exercises, but important is not to overdo them initially, as it may initiate some immediate back pain.
Here IGÇÖm going to explain five most popular back strengthening exercises. These are simple to follow and do not need any medical supervision.
The Bridge
Lay flat on your back
Bent your knees to the right angle
Position the feet flat on the ground
Raise the buttocks off the ground
Abdominal muscles have to be kept tight.
Repeat it five times

The Plank
Lay straight on your stomach
Place the forearms and elbows on the floor
Achieve a push up position by balancing on elbows and toes.
Keep your back and leg straight
Hold the position for 10 seconds
Relax and repeat it four times

Wall Squat
Stand up with your back against the wall
Keep your heel about 1 -+ feet away from the wall
Gradually slide yourself against the wall until the knees makes a right angle
Hold the position for five seconds
Repeat on the other side
Leg lifts
Lay yourself straight on you back
Place your feet flat on the ground
Right Knee should be bent at right angle
Keep the left leg straight
Rise the left leg until it reaches the height of right knee.
Hold this position for 10 seconds
Leg and Arm Raises
Lay down with your back resting on floor
Keep you arms beyond the head
Lift the right arm
Slightly lift your shoulder and head
Simultaneously lift your left leg
Hold the position for about thirty seconds
Repeat the process by alternating legs and arms
Legs and arms should be stretched after this

This should be kept in mind that any exercise should be done in moderation. Any suggested increase should be done gradually. Back exercises are not for any competition; these simply mean to strengthen your back and lower your back pain. Overdoing may cause some serious back problems. It is better to consult a physician before starting the exercise program. There may be some undiagnosed medical problems like hernias. This sort of problems can further worsen by stretching of the muscles and increase the back pain instead of reducing.

Back Stretches Relieve Pain

admin — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:36:33 +0000

Back Stretches - When Is The Best Time to Stretch?

To relieve back pain the most commonly used tools by the pain sufferers are back stretches.

People use different king of back stretches during traveling to different parts of the world, and most of the back stretches donGÇÖt help in relieving the back pain. The perfect back stretches, however play a very important and integral role in removing the back pain.

The main thing which comes in ones mind is GÇ£When back stretches should be used so that they can have the best effect and relieve the back painGÇ¥. The answer to this question is very simpleGÇªBefore doing back stretches the main goal should be kept in mind that why one is doing these?

Stretching is basically used so that the muscles can relax and become flexible, and these relaxed and flexible muscles help removing back pain by reducing the tension which is the basics cause of building pain in the back. Back pain actually is a mixture of tensed muscles, joint disorder and in some cases severe inflammation.

Best Time to Do Back Stretch to Have the Maximum Results
Back stretches are extremely important in relieving the tensed muscles, as the muscles will ease, the working of the joints will be better.

To relieve the back pain stretching is important but most important is the time when the back stretches are being done. While doing back stretches, when the muscle is stretched the preferred reaction of this action is to relax the muscle. If one stretches the muscle and continue to use it either in the home or in the sports activity or exercise, the benefits of doing stretching becomes less.

The moment the muscle is contracted, the flexibility and the relaxation in the muscle disappears. This is what one needs to understand. In the process of back stretch, the muscle is first stretched and then relaxed and this can be done as long as one can. In this way of doing stretching one gets the maximum benefits and tension in the muscles is reduced for ever.

Again the question comes in mind what is the best time in the day for doing back stretches? Back Stretching should be done three times a day:

Early in the morning when one wakes up. This early morning back stretching helps in preparing to muscles for the whole day, this will not help to improve the flexibility of the muscles but this will help the muscles tone up so that they will work efficiently all the day without being tired.
Secondly back stretches should be done after the work i.e. after one gets home from the office. Back stretching done at this time will not only improve the flexibility of the muscles but will also help the muscles to warm down from all dayGÇÖs activity.

Lastly, back stretching should be done before going to bed. One should do back stretches and then sleep immediately. Stretching the muscles before going to sleep will help them remain relaxed all the night, muscles will remain easy which will ultimately result in the flexibility of muscles. As long as muscles will remain flexible, tension free, one will be relieved from the back pain.

Summing up, back stretches can help one in achieving the objective of relieving back pain.

I understand the question wandering. What is the cause of this back pain? It sounds paradoxical but the advancement in technologies is one of the major causes of back pain. Cable television and internet provide us a plethora of entertainment within our home. We donGÇÖt have to walk out of the home for most of the things. Laptops, remote control TVGÇÖs and AcGÇÖs add more fire to it. We have every thing in our access while we are seated on a comfortable sofa. This causes us to become a couch potato. We donGÇÖt go out for exercise or for any other entertainment.

But if somebody is new to yoga it is better to have the consultation of a yoga teacher. Who will not only tell him about the different yoga exercises but may also suggest some herbs or diet for that.

Acupressure
An old oriental practice of applying pressure on some specific points is termed Acupressure. The application of pressure releases some energy from those points and cures the problem. To cure back pain it is recommended that one has to apply pressure on the point behind the patientGÇÖs knees.

Music Therapy
