Natural Ways To Treat Acid Reflux
There is an an ancient saying called Occams Razor which says that the most obvious answer is usually the correct one. Modern society has become blind to the most obvious answers in life and instead we wind up doing things the hard way - over and over again. We think we can eat what we want when we want with no consequences. If you suffer from heartburn then this means that you’re simply making your life miserable by helping bring on attacks of heartburn for no good reason. We eat to stay alive. It’s really that simple. Eating is a pleasure but is also completely and totally necessary for our survival. Very few of you will actually consider the food that you put into your body; is it actually any good for you? We pay almost no attention to what we eat and then wonder why we wind up suffering from acid reflux. You Are What You EatThere are some things the human body does need. It needs water. It needs protein. It needs iron. The problem is that what you eat is normally what you want to eat as opposed to what the body itself actually needs. Needs Versus Wants are two very, very different things. What you eat says a lot about who you are and how you live your life. Your body is basically an engine and if you feed it with crap it’s going to kickback and cause you trouble - sooner or later. If you find that a certain pattern of eating or a certain type of food is causing bouts of heartburn then pay attention to what your body is telling you and either change the pattern or eliminate the type of food causing the problem.Out and AboutExercise is good for your digestion full stop. So instead of planting yourself on the sofa in front of the tube after each meal why not take a quick walk to help you digest your meal? You don’t have to go walking for miles and miles. Even just a few minutes is enough to help you digest food more easily and prevent attacks of acid reflux. Manageable MealsThe rush and hustle of modern life has given us some really bad eating habits. You rush from the bed, grab a coffee and then go to work. You eat a danish for our snack, then rush a sandwhich at your desk for lunch. After a long and stressful day you then go home and eat a huge meal, drink a beer and doze off on the sofa. Breakfast is an important meal so eat it. Your lunch is also an important meal so don’t rush it. Your dinner should never be a huge meal - just enough to curb your hunger. Packing your stomach full of food just before you fall asleep is a sure way to give yourself heartburn.Try eating smaller meals more regularly during the day - it really will help prevent those awful attacks of acid reflux.If you want to find an actual cure for acid reflux then check out the links at the bottom of this article.

Another article about the bench press you ask? Whether you agree or not the barbell bench press is one of the most highly regarded weight room exercises period. Have you heard this conversation in the gym lately? “So how much weight can you use for preacher curls?” “I’m moving some heavy weight, how much can you use for kickbacks?” “I’ve been struggling on those and I have a kickback meet coming up in a few months!” I’ll take a wild guess and say this conversation has never and will never take place. The truth is the vast majority of individuals measure their strength and even their manhood based on how much they can bench. You could be at the gym, or even at a bar having a beer but when the topic of working out comes up people are almost certain to ask the infamous question, “How much you bench?” If you don’t care how strong you are then I don’t know why you’re lifting weights anyway. The bench press is a benchmark of your strength plain and simple. Back to the conversation we didn’t hear at the gym. What our friends above should have been asking each other isn’t how much weight they use when doing kickbacks but rather how much weight they use when they’re performing a lower pulley external rotation exercise. Did I lose you there? I know, I know we declared the bench press is the true measure of our strength not all these isolation and stabilizer exercises right? This is true, but have you ever heard the expression, you’re only as strong as your weakest link? When you bench press there are four tiny muscles that play a major role in whether your bench press takes off or if you’re going to suffer from a bench press blowout. Build these muscles up and you can dramatically decrease the chance of blowing out your shoulder. If you’re benching heavy weight and not paying attention to these muscles you run the risk of muscular imbalances, shoulder pain, and getting stuck in a serious plateau. When bench pressing it essential to have stability and strength in the shoulder. The four relatively small muscles predominantly responsible for stabilizing the shoulder - teres minor, infraspinatous, supraspinatous and sucscapularous - are known collectively as the ‘rotator cuff’. When these muscles contract they pull on the rotator cuff tendon, causing the shoulder to rotate. While bench pressing you may experience some rotator or shoulder pain, during part of the movement. This is likely due to weak muscles in this area. Weak muscles are often but not always the cause of rotator cuff impingement syndrome and associated rotator cuff tears. If you have the rotator cuff strength of a little girl, your body has no choice but to limit the amount of weight you can stabilize and move to prevent injury. It’s not uncommon to see an individual break through a bench press sticking point simply by incorporating direct rotator cuff training. OK maybe now I have your attention. So how do you make sure your rotator cuff isn’t the weak link in your bench press? Or even more importantly how will you prevent a bench press blowout where you damage the rotator cuff? Like we discussed you need to strengthen the muscles, so let’s take a look at this workout routine. Remember if you already have an injury you should not use this routine as a rehab program but rather visit a sports medicine physician. If you want to prevent a future injury and break past a bench press sticking point then follow this routine twice a week. If you’re not in pain now, that’s an even better reason to follow my advice. Trust me if you have a nagging injury you’re not going to be growing or getting any stronger. Train smart, so that you can hit the weight hard when you do bench. The first thing you need to do is stretch the muscles you are about to train. Make sure you have warmed up for a good five minutes on the bike or treadmill before you start stretching. This will help you acquire greater flexibility. You already know stretching is important so just do it. You don’t need any equipment for this stretch. You can do it one arm at a time or with both arms at the same time. Extend your arms out from the torso at a right angle. Now bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle. Place your forearms on the frame of the doorway and lean forward. You will feel the stretch in your pecs and the back of your shoulders. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. Next I want you to hang from a pull up bar for 20-30 seconds. This isn’t a grip strength test so no you don’t have to hang on for the full 30 seconds. Cuban Press Rotation Grab an EZ Curl bar and perform a wide grip upright row until the bar is a few inches below your collar bone. Now keep your elbows stationary while you externally rotate the bar as if you were trying to tap your forehead. Next you will press the bar overhead. Lower the weight along the same plane and repeat for ten reps. You will not be able to use the same weight you use for standard overhead presses due to the external rotation. This exercise won’t build your ego right now, but you’ll be thanking me when your bench press increases. Cable External Rotation Raise the pulley until it is even with your elbow. You’ll be standing sideways next to the weight stack so if your right hand is holding the handle, your left foot should be closest to the weight stack. Grasp the cable attachment with your far arm while keeping your elbow close to your side and forearm across your stomach. Your palm should be facing in. Pull cable attachment away from body by externally rotating your shoulder. Return and repeat. Turn around and continue with opposite arm. Cable Internal Rotation Again raise the pulley until it is even with elbow. You’ll be standing sideways next to the weight stack but this time if your right hand is holding the handle your right foot should be closest to the weight stack. Grasp the cable attachment with the closest arm. Keep your elbow close to your side with your palm facing in. Pull the cable attachment across your body by internally rotating your shoulder. Return and repeat. Turn around and continue with opposite arm. 90-Degree Dumbbell External Rotation To finish off the infraspinatus, hold a dumbbell in each hand, and perform a lateral raise to 90-degrees while keeping the elbows bent at 90-degrees. Once your upper arms are parallel to the floor, externally rotate your arm so that your forearms are perpendicular to the floor. It will look like starting point of a dumbbell military press. Now lower and repeat. Remember to use light weight. The infraspinatus is a tiny muscle so it can’t handle a heavy load. The shoulder horn is a great piece of equipment that keeps your arms in place while you perform this motion. Do three sets of ten repetitions for each exercise. Perform the routine once a week in conjunction with your current workout. This is important so listen up. The last thing you want to do is pre-exhaust your rotator cuff before training the bench press. Never do this workout prior to a heavy bench press or shoulders session or you run an even greater risk of aggravating the area. You can give these exercises a try at the end of your workout, but be sure you always give your rotator cuff muscles 48-hours rest after a workout before training chest or shoulders. Points To Remember: The muscles of the rotator cuff are very small. Even if you’re pushing five bills on the bench press you’ll still be using five-pound dumbbells for many rotator cuff exercises. So leave your ego at the door! Avoid lat pulldowns and military presses behind the head as they place the shoulder in a poor biomechanical position which enourages impingement. Training your rotator cuff muscles can help you avoid pain, prevent future injuries, and fix muscular imbalances. It’s not uncommon for a trainee to add 20+ pounds to their bench press simply by strengthening the rotator cuff muscles. Never perform a rotator cuff routine prior to bench pressing or overhead pressing movements. If you feel serious pain in your shoulder it may be too late. Go see a sports medicine physician. We all know people who were really into bodybuilding/powerlifting and looked forward to bench pressing only to eventually drop out after a few years of hardcore training. Why? In many cases nagging injuries especially those of the shoulder, simply took the fun out of it. This doesn’t have to happen to you so you’re ahead of the game. The best thing you can do to keep your shoulders healthy, and make sure your bench press continues to improve is strengthen your rotator cuff muscles so that they will never be your weakest link! After all your bench press will be going nowhere fast if you’re injured. Pick up the girlie weights for a few sets once a week so you’ll experience a bench press blastoff instead of a bench press blowout. Mike Westerdal is the owner of http://www.criticalbench.com.
