BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!!!

All people, male and female are born with some breast cells and tissue that can potentially develop into cancer. Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells in the human body. Cancer in general occurs when mutations or abnormal changes in the genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy are off balance. When your body fails to do so it can develop to a mass or clump of tissue known as a tumor. Tumors can be benign (not dangerous) or malignant (having the potential to be dangerous). Benign tumors are not considered to be cancerous because they do not invade nearby tissue or spread. In opposition, malignant tumors are. If left unchecked, malignant cells have the ability to affect other body parts and spread. Depending on how far it spreads is considered to be a stage or stages. There are 9 stages, which stage 9 being the worse to where the cancer has spread dramatically. Only 5-10% of cancers are due to genetic inheritance, there-for it’s very important to monitor your diet as well as getting proper exercise because this disease is primarily a product of our lifestyles.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It is very important that we all monitor our health and get monthly and yearly examinations. Breast cancer is an epidemic that can affect both male and female, yet females are more prone to the disease. In 2014 about 2,360 males will have the disease compared to 232,670 women, according to the statistics form the American Cancer Association. Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells in the human body, which is why it is very important to have a proper diet as well as an exercise regimen. Whole body vibration is proven to help in weight loss, (http://www.healthmarkinc.net/) and aid in prevention or progression of this disease and many others.

Yoga and other mental stimulating exercises helps as well because healing begins with the mind. When your body fails to regulate cell production it can develop to a clump of tissue known as a tumor. Tumors can be benign (not dangerous to health), or malignant (having the potential to be dangerous or spread). Over time cancer cells can invade nearby healthy breast tissue and eventually carve a pathway to other body parts. Good thing we have great breast cancer society’s such as (http://do.eifoundation.org/site/TR/RevlonRunWalk/LARRW?fr_id=1080&pg=entry) to deal with this problem with a high success rate. It’s always important to get checkups because early detection is the key for successfully beating this disease.

Inversion is GREAT for your BODY!

When it comes to being injured the first thing you have to do is to get well as soon as possible.  Injuries can be very painful, and also prevent you from accomplishing different tasks.  It is common knowledge that we have doctors and different medications to aid us in the healing process, but what other options are out there?  There are a couple different options, but let me tell you about one proven method I’ve tried myself.  INVERSION!!!  Inversion therapy has been used for ages for many different reasons including blood circulation, and the decompression of the back.  While inverted the brain is getting an increase of blood flow, which allows it to function at its highest capacity.  This requires no effort at all and allows you to relax, meditate, or even sleep for a short while (if you feel the urge).

The mind also has healing powers, so why not put that to use as well?  Nature has a constant gravitational pull on our bones and joints, and that causes stress that can prolong our recovery time.  It can also very well cause discomfort either sitting, or standing.  Inversion reverses the force of gravity from a natural path which allows all of the joints in your back, and every organ in your body time to take a break from daily stress.  When this occurs it allows vital fluids to return back to various joints and disks throughout your body.  Give inversion a try…it will make you feel better!

Time For Changes

With a new season upon us, now is a perfect time to change the way you feel about your body.  There isn’t a better place to start then by taking care of it!  Yoga, and other types of inversion therapy are a perfect way to get back on track.  Walking on our legs as opposed to our hands is perhaps the most glaring habit of humankind, and so inversions have the potential to be a valuable addition to the lives of all.  The idea of putting yourself in an inverted position isn’t for everybody.  There are some issues of concern that you should consult your doctor about.  These might be if there is a history of neck conditions, epilepsy, glaucoma, detached retina, or unmedicated high blood pressure.  I am going to list some reasons why you should keep reading this by listing some benefits to inversion:

Inversion increases blood flow to the brain.  This means that your brain is getting more oxygen coming to it, and this helps with having better memory, processing your different abilities, increased concentration, and overall mental functioning.

You will feel more energized and relaxed.  Headstands, handstands, and forearm balance helps tremendously with all of the oxygen and blood flow to the brain.  You will see a drastic change in getting your mind “back on track” in the middle of the day when you may be getting unfocused.  This will also get you physically invigorated.

Improving balance, and overall relaxation.  Once you have proven that you can achieve balance on your two legs, it may be a great time to have equality by learning how to balance on your hands, and/or head.  Shoulder stands, and having your legs up on a  wall are great techniques for relaxation by calming your nervous system, and helping more with balance.

Increased upper body strength.  Inversion will work and increase our many muscle groups in our upper body.  This is especially true in women who tend to have more lower body strength.  This is a good way to balance out the strength throughout one’s whole body.

Inversions are fun.  The last, and certainly not the least benefit I will point out about the advandtages of practicing Yoga/inversion, is that it can be fun (if you allow it to).  Let me take you on a quick trip down memory lane…How many of us did (or tried to do) a headstand, or handstand when we were younger?  If we were one of the few who could actually accomplish this feat we were praised, or admired by our peers.  Now, we have a reason to get back to these fun activities.  Little did we know in our youth that we would be doing these same exercises, and that it would be of great benefit to the well being of our bodies.

I encourage you to get out and enjoy the beautiful fall weather.  Yoga is something that can be done anywhere…in the park, on the beach, or in your own back yard.  When it gets colder in the winter, you can do Yoga in the comforts of your own living room, or bedroom.  My point is that Yoga, and other types of inversion can be enjoyed and practiced during all calender seasons, as well as all seasons of our life.  What do you say to making a better change for your body???
