Revamp Your Routine: 4 Exercise Absolutes #4

During the month of March, despite the cold and dreary weather of Southwestern Pennsylvania, I managed to get myself to the gym Monday through Friday at 5am, getting a complete workout in 5 days per week.

We know that all workouts are not created equal; and everyone will tell you they have the best one for you.  Quality workouts will always have a couple of things in common. Here are the four exercise absolutes to help you shape your routine that I have implemented over my past month of successful exercise. 

4.       Recovery Time

Many injuries that I see in my office are related to chronic overuse of a specific muscle group or joint. Our bodies need time to heal. When you exercise, you are stressing the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones. That stress weakens the tissue temporarily. The body needs time to repair that stressed tissue. Given the proper time, the tissue will become even stronger and that's how we build muscle. So many of us want to be macho men and women picking up the intensity of our workouts day after day. In the long run (no pun intended), your body will break down to a point of injury, which will essentially force you to take the time off that you should have been taking in the first place.

When it comes to resistance training, I never recommend working out a muscle group more than twice in one week. Even when I was training for my marathon, I never did the same type of running workout more than 1-2 times per week. That is why varying your workouts is so crucial, because you can still work out daily while giving muscle groups a chance to heal and become stronger.

Stretching is also a key factor in your recovery. I do not have a specific stretching time or routine that I stick to; but I can tell you that I stretch several times throughout my day. If I feel my muscles are tight, I stretch that muscle group. Depending on the muscle group, I will hold a stretch for 5-20 seconds (holding longer on large muscle groups).  You don’t have to be a yogi master to take the time to stretch. One to two minutes 3 times a day would make an amazing difference in the strength, flexibility and recovery of your muscles.

This is the final exercise absolute to help you revamp your routine and get the most out of whatever exercise routine you choose. Check back next week for a new healthy topic. (Do you have a burning health question or topic you'd like to hear more about? I'm always open to suggestions!)

Revamp Your Rountine: 4 Exercise Absolutes #3

During the month of March, despite the cold and dreary weather of Southwestern Pennsylvania, I managed to get myself to the gym Monday through Friday at 5am, getting a complete workout in 5 days per week.

We know that all workouts are not created equal; and everyone will tell you they have the best one for you.  Quality workouts will always have a couple of things in common. Here are the four exercise absolutes to help you shape your routine that I have implemented over my past month of successful exercise 

3. Re-Fuel the Tank

I am always amazed at the misconceptions people have about what to eat before or after their workout. I actually had a personal trainer tell me once that it didn’t matter what I ate as long as I built the proper amount of muscle that could burn off the calories. This is so far from the truth that it took everything I had not to burst out laughing in his face. Of course it matters what we eat and how much of it! Just try putting diesel fuel into a Ferrari and see how well it runs (that is an expensive example - do not try that at home). There are three things that I am sure to re-fuel my body with daily, but especially on days when I hit the gym hard. 

a.       Water

I know you have heard me harp on this many times before, but so many people are chronically dehydrated. Drink as many ounces of water as you weigh in kilograms (Note: Take your weight in pounds and divide by 2.2 to get your weight in kilograms). It is really not hard to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Just keep a bottle next to you at all times and take a drink every few minutes. When the bottle is empty, go fill it back up. Do NOT count coffee, soda, or energy drinks toward your water intake. Water and only water should be counted. 

b.      B-Vitamins

Many people suffer from chronic muscle soreness and working out only aggravates that soreness. If you find a muscle group is still sore 3 or 4 days after you worked out, you most likely are not getting enough B-vitamins in your diet. They are important in so many body functions including nerve conduction, energy metabolism, and blood cell production, just to name a few. B-vitamins can be found in many healthy foods such as whole grains, beans, certain fruits and vegetables, eggs, and meats. I personally like to take a daily B-vitamin supplement (these are what I use) to be certain I am getting enough with my physically demanding lifestyle. Alcohol and processed sugar will affect the absorption and use of B-vitamins in the body, so minimize and avoid the use of these products if you wish to maximize B-vitamin utilization in the body. 

c.       Protein

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They are responsible for all the enzymes that assist in body functions and are the building blocks for our physical structure, including skeleton, skin, and muscle. There is much debate over how much protein is actually needed in our diet on a daily basis. This number, which can range from 40-100 grams per day, changes drastically with your weight, your health goals, and your gender. I like to focus more on the quality protein sources rather than the overall amount. Beans, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, eggs, chicken, turkey, and fish are all excellent sources of protein. Notice I mentioned some vegetables in there. Although they are not complete proteins, they still offer much needed protein for the body. Be sure not to consume more than 10-15 grams of protein in a single sitting, because your digestive tract can only absorb about 10 grams per hour. Focus on eating the quality foods I mentioned above in small meals throughout your day and you should not have an issue with eating the right amount of protein for you.

Re-fueling is an important part of your exercise routine, so don't forget about it until you are running on empty! Giving your body the right nutrition is an important key to getting and staying healthy.

This is the third of four exercise absolutes to help you revamp your routine and get the most out of whatever exercise routine you choose. Check back next week for the fourth and final absolute.

Revamp Your Routine: 4 Exercise Absolutes #2

During the month of March, despite the cold and dreary weather of Southwestern Pennsylvania, I managed to get myself to the gym Monday through Friday at 5am, getting a complete workout in 5 days per week.

We know that all workouts are not created equal; and everyone will tell you they have the best one for you.  Quality workouts will always have a couple of things in common. Here are the four exercise absolutes to help you shape your routine that I have implemented over my past month of successful exercise!  

2. Resistance

Exercising should not be a chore! It should be something you enjoy doing and I am adamant about finding that activity you love. However, settling into that special kind of workout won't get you to where you want to be!  It is imperative that you add resistance training to your exercise program. Aerobic workouts (i.e. running, jogging, spinning) are great for cardiovascular endurance, but by themselves, they leave a huge gap in your training. By adding resistance, you increase calorie burning both during and between your workouts.

How does this work? When adding resistance, you are actually increasing the intensity of your workouts, consuming more oxygen, and burning more calories. When you work your different muscle groups, the muscles take time over the next few days to rebuild and by doing so, you continue to burn more calories (increasing resting metabolism) between your workouts. 

How do I add resistance? 

a.       Use Weights/Resistance Bands

Resistance comes in many forms

Weightlifting is one of the most common forms of exercising and there are an infinite amount of ways you can customize it to meet your needs. I have personally been using weight training for over 15 years and it is great to complement any activity you may currently participate in. If you have never used weights before, I strongly recommend you find an experienced individual to customize a program to meet your personal needs. You can contact my office directly if you need direction in finding that person. 

b.      Use Hills

Adding hills to your workout pushes your cardio and muscles to a new level.  What if I told you that I burn over 700 calories per hour by simply walking? I walk at 3 mph but increase the treadmill incline to a 10% grade. Working against gravity by walking up hills or steps will always increase resistance and thus improve your workout without having to increase speed. 

c.       Use Body Weight

There are entire exercise routines sweeping the country right now that are built around using mostly your own body weight. Squats, pull-ups, push-ups, lunges, and planks are 5 of the most universal exercises that can be done just about anywhere without any equipment and can still provide an excellent workout. Every one of those exercises can also be modified to meet your personal goals and needs.

If you truly want to work your body the way it was designed, then increasing your resistance is a must for your training routine.

This is the second of four exercise absolutes to help you revamp your routine and get the most out of whatever exercise routine you choose. Check back next week for the third absolute.

Revamp Your Routine: 4 Exercise Absolutes #1

During the month of March, despite the cold and dreary weather of Southwestern Pennsylvania, I managed to get myself to the gym Monday through Friday at 5am, getting a complete workout in 5 days per week.

[I do not share this to brag. I am not one of those people that jump out of bed at 4:30 in the morning without any alarm. (Quite the contrary; there are days when my alarm goes off and after getting out of bed to take care of the dogs, I will make my way back under the covers for another hour or two.) I share this because I want you to understand that I have the same struggles that many of you deal with when trying to implement efficient exercise programs.]

We know that all workouts are not created equal; and everyone will tell you they have the best one for you.  Quality workouts will always have a couple of things in common. Here are the four exercise absolutes to help you shape your routine that I have implemented over my past month of successful exercise! 

1.       RE-Think Your Strategy

How was I able to get to the gym by 5am? I have a good friend and workout partner who was there to work out with me. Every elite performer in the world has a coach. The best athletes, musicians, actors, and business owners have coaches or mentors that hold them accountable for what they say they are going to do. If I told myself I was going to the gym at 5am and was not meeting my friend there, I could roll right back into bed without anyone getting on my case. If I miss a workout and my friend is there, you better believe I am going to hear about it. 

Not everyone has to work out first thing in the morning (please don’t - I like my quiet and UN-crowded gym in the morning), but find a partner that can exercise on the same schedule as you and then stick to it.  Having an accountability partner significantly reduce those number of missed exercise days because when “I was too tired” or “I will do it later.” To prove this to you, my friend had off work this week and was exercising around 8am instead of 5am. Out of three days, I have only made it to the gym at 5am once this week. Why? Because I knew that he wasn’t going to be there and hold me accountable.

If you don’t have a friend or a spouse that is congruent with your exercise goals, then hire a personal trainer or attend a fitness class where the other participants will hold you accountable.  The bottom line: no one in life is a success without the help of others and your exercise routine is no different. Your partner/coach/trainer will push you to the next level, so go out and find him!

This is the first of four exercise absolutes to help you revamp your routine and get the most out of whatever exercise routine you choose. Check back next week for the second absolute.

Healthy Go Lucky! Four "UNlucky" Notions that Lead to UNhealthy

“Dr. Dan, you are so LUCKY that you and your family are always so healthy,” is a statement that my wife and I hear a lot more than one would expect. I decided to write this article to help people understand that health has NOTHING to do with LUCK. In fact, a great quote from a Roman philosopher states that “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” This quote has been adapted by many famous success stories today such as  Tony Robbins and Oprah.

We are all born with the opportunity to be healthy and maintain our health throughout our life. But then we get hit hard by societal situations that prepare us to be unhealthy. As we become more technologically advanced, we move further and further away from our intelligent healthy design. The preparation for health is lost among TV, work, food, and the myth that our genes control our health regardless of what we do.  In order to get healthy and stay healthy, it takes focused preparation on a daily basis. So let’s talk about four situations that we are all too familiar with and how they set us up to be unhealthy.    

       The UNLucky Genes

“Diabetes runs in my family,” is a statement that I hear all too often in my practice (Substitute diabetes with any of the other chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, depression, etc.).  The biggest MYTH in modern society is that genes dictate our health and what diseases we will get – that there is nothing we can do about it. THIS IS BOGUS! Our genes have not changed in thousands of years. Again, our genes have not changed in thousands of years! One more time, our genes have not changed in thousands of years!!! Yet the incidence of all these chronic diseases has increased exponentially over the past several decades. Genes couldn't possibly be to blame!

This massive increase in these modern day diseases cannot be blamed on genetics. Blaming your genes for your sickness is like blaming your books for your bad grades in school. Your genes are nothing more than information. They are a book, “How to build a human FOR DUMMIES.” If you were to open that book, a human doesn’t magically appear. There has to be some governing life force or intelligence that has the ability to read, interpret, and apply the information. 

This innate intelligence of life is always present and has the ability to adapt to environmental changes. Unfortunately, our society has set up a very poor environment in which we now must exist. This poor environment has forced our bodies to read, interpret and apply our genetic information at such a rapid rate that eventually the efficiency breaks down and leads to sickness. We are literally animals living in captivity. 

However, if we take small steps to return our environment to one that we were designed to flourish in, our intelligent bodies will indeed return to a state of health and we could reverse over 2/3 of all diseases that we struggle with today. Therefore, do not be a victim of your genes by blaming your parents and grandparents for your sickness. Instead, prepare yourself for the opportunity to be healthy, the opportunity we were all born with. 

  

This is the first of four "UNlucky" notions that lead to an UNhealthy you.  Next week we'll talk about the second notion - the UNlucky Food Options.

You are not unhealthy because of bad luck or bad genes. You are unhealthy because of our societal misconceptions of health and the bad habits that go along with them.  We all need preparation and positive action to live in health at all times.  Being away of unhealthy situations is the first step to turning your luck health around!

4 Principles Every Wise Healthcare Consumer Knows: Principle #4

February is National Wise Healthcare Consumer Month. No, I refuse to talk about the new Affordable Care Act because I could probably count on one hand the number of people who actually understand what the bill says and what its future implications will be. Instead, I would like to share the FOUR principles that every wise consumer must understand about healthcare.

The fourth principle is the concept of What is Good For One is Good For All.

Your family may have a recipe for spaghetti or perogies (I know, my heritage is showing) that has been passed down for generations. Similarly, Mother Nature has passed down THE recipe for health, generation to generation, for all living things. Every generation may add their own twist to the ingredients or directions, but the foundation of the recipe is always present for optimum satiety.  As humanity progresses through time, different expressions of health emerge. However, the foundation is always the same. The truth is over 95% of the population could attain and maintain their health if they would simply adhere to the three foundations listed below: Mother Nature’s Recipe for Health. The best part - this recipe is not unique to any individual, but is a part of our intelligent human design (Good for one, Good for all!)  

Motion => Motion is life. From the microscopic vibrations of individual molecules that make up our cells to the macroscopic movement of our muscles, life requires motion. More commonly known today as exercise or physical activity.   Go find a program, routine, or sport that sets your body in motion for at least 30 minutes every day. 

Nutrition => We are what we consume and assimilate. Our cells die and regenerate every single moment of our lives. The raw materials to build our new cells, tissues, and organs come from our diets. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, nuts, and lean meats will ensure our bodies are getting the raw materials to build healthy cells. If you wish to eat processed food, do so sparingly - it is the equivalent of building your house with the cheapest cement as your foundation. When in doubt, eat from the Earth. Kick the cans, boxes, and bagged food.

     Connection => We are creatures of community. Connectedness is as much a part of health and life as breathing. There three planes of connection; Spiritual (our connection to a Higher Order and/or purpose through prayer and meditation), Fraternal (our connection to one another as humans through our relationships), and Internal (our connection within our bodies coordinated through our central nervous system). Our ability to connect on these three planes is an essential ingredient to Mother Nature’s health recipe. Just like a cell phone needs a good satellite connection for proper function, we need these connections for health. 

     If we have the recipe for health, why are we so sick?  For starters, the majority of “healthcare” dollars are spent in a pharmaceutical industry that ignores the existence of Mother Nature’s Health Recipe. Why would they do this? Well, it’s a great business model! The pharmaceutical industry wants to segregate every disease and condition into an individual problem and then claim to have THE specific medication that is the cure. A medication is designed to do exactly what is says it does on the label, whether it is lowering blood pressure, hiding a headache, or easing an upset stomach. The problem is that Mother Nature’s recipe is not a linear equation. When you medicate for one condition, there are thousands of reactions within our bodies that are also affected (side effects).  For every side effect, there is another medication.  It is like dumping a jar of toxic chemicals into your mixing bowl and hoping for the best. 

Even being diagnosed with a particular condition can lead an individual farther from health. If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, you are presented with two options: medication or lifestyle change.   A wise health care consumer knows that these are two distinct choices – one that leads them closer to health, and one that leads them closer to sickness. Do not let yourself or your family be characterized by a health challenge. Wise healthcare consumers know better. They know that every choice they make in life is moving them either towards health or towards sickness. Monkey See Healthy, Monkey Do Healthy, Monkey Be Healthy!

This is the last of four principles that should act as guidelines for how you assess your healthcare choices.  There is no perfect plan for guaranteed longevity or vitality; but there are wise choices you can make on a daily basis to increase your health into you golden years.  Knowledge is power, and now you know.  The true test is what you do with it.

4 Principles Every Wise Healthcare Consumer Knows: Principle #3

February is National Wise Healthcare Consumer Month. No, I refuse to talk about the new Affordable Care Act because I could probably count on one hand the number of people who actually understand what the bill says and what its future implications will be. Instead, I would like to share the FOUR principles that every wise consumer must understand about healthcare.

The third principle is the concept of Less is More.

Anytime it comes to a health decisions, it is in my strong opinion that the less intervention, the better. If health practitioners truly believe and respect the foundational principle that life has the capacity to heal, than respecting and facilitating that healing ability with the least amount of intervention should be a top priority.

Let’s use an hour glass as an example. If the sand in the hour glass represents your healing potential, then you are at your optimum healing ability when the sand is at the top of the hour glass and set in motion. How do we get the sand to the top of the hour glass? There are three different options:

Adjustments Flip Your Health Hourglass

Option 1: We can use artificial sand (representing medication) and pour it into the top of the hour glass. This would trick your body into a false sense of healing and you may even feel better for a little while, but eventually as you continue to add more artificial sand, the bottom will completely fill up and put a halt to your healing.

Option 2: We drill a hole and suck out the sand and then pour the sand into the top of the hour glass (representing surgery). But now, as the sand returns to the bottom and you begin to heal, some of your healing capacity is lost through the drilled hole. Not to mention, you are right back where you started with the sand in the bottom of the glass.

Option 3: Simply flip the hour glass (representing a lifestyle adjustment, such as a chiropractic adjustment to the spine, massage, nutritional changes, exercise, etc.). This is the simplest and least invasive option. Yes, you must continue to make those adjustments throughout your life, but those minimally invasive lifestyle adjustments will set and maintain your healing potential in motion to keep you well and avoid the more invasive options 1 and 2.

This is the third of four principles that should act as guidelines for how you assess your healthcare choices.  There is no perfect plan for guaranteed longevity or vitality; but there are wise choices you can make on a daily basis to increase your health into you golden years.  Knowledge is power, and now you know.  The true test is what you do with it.

4 Principles Every Wise Healthcare Consumer Knows: Principle #2

February is National Wise Healthcare Consumer Month. No, I refuse to talk about the new Affordable Care Act because I could probably count on one hand the number of people who actually understand what the bill says and what its future implications will be. Instead, I would like to share the FOUR principles that every wise consumer must understand about healthcare.

The second principle is the concept of Early Detection vs. Prevention

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" ~ Benjamin Franklin

Under the misnomer of “healthcare,” the average consumer has been misled. They are told (and made to believe) that they have great “health” insurance because of the many “wellness” checkups covered or the extensive “preventative” care included in their plan. A wise health care consumer understands that getting a “wellness” checkup has nothing to do with preventing a specific disease or condition. 

 

Let’s use breast cancer screenings as an example. If a woman has been seeing her gynecologist to receive a mammogram once a year from the time she is 40 years old (the current guidelines from ACOG) and at age 52 her mammogram shows a stage 2 carcinoma, what has been prevented? As a wise health care consumer, you should be saying nothing has been prevented. However, many “healthcare” insurance plans use these “prevention” screenings as a selling point to consumers. Early detection is not and never will be the same thing as prevention.

(I already hear the arguments mounting, “Isn’t it a good thing that her stage 2 cancer was found at stage 2 and not stage 3 or 4?” My answer to that is, maybe. Right now the standard of care for a diagnosed cancer patient is chemotherapy and radiation in some combination. Although the technology continues to improve, the fundamental theory behind these cancer treatment methods, at least in my humble opinion, is to kill all the cells, healthy and sick, and pray that the healthy cells win out.)

What would true prevention coverage look like?  Insurance plans covering gym memberships, and offering discounts for purchases of organic fruits and vegetables.  Programs offering wellness care for individuals to maintain their health before they lose it.  Making incentives available for healthy lifestyle choices that are known to prevent or limit the risk of certain diseases that our current system spends large chunks of healthcare dollars on.  Offering proactive approach to disease by taking away the environment that sickness thrives in and promoting a healthy alternative; that is prevention.

Information gained from an early detection screening is only useful when that information is applied appropriately. What good is an earlier diagnosis of high blood pressure, if the only answer is taking medication for the rest of your life? Based on personal testimonies from family and patients, I am not convinced that these early detection screenings, sold as “preventative healthcare,” are all they are cracked up to be. Know the difference and know find out how to truly prevent the emergencies as mentioned above.

This is the second of four principles that should act as guidelines for how you assess your healthcare choices.  There is no perfect plan for guaranteed longevity or vitality; but there are wise choices you can make on a daily basis to increase your health into you golden years.  Knowledge is power, and now you know.  The true test is what you do with it.

4 Principles Every Wise Healthcare Consumer Knows: Principle #1

February is National Wise Healthcare Consumer Month. No, I refuse to talk about the new Affordable Care Act because I could probably count on one hand the number of people who actually understand what the bill says and what its future implications will be. Instead, I would like to share the FOUR principles that every wise consumer must understand about healthcare.

The first principle is  the concept of Emergency Intervention vs Health Promotion.

Emergency Intervention

One of the biggest misnomers in our society is the labeling of our healthcare system as “health care.”  The current system that is in place does not focus on staying healthy, but rather on what to do when we get sick (read sick to mean anything as minor as the flu all the way to cancer and any illness or malady in between). In 2010, the U.S. spent over 2.3 trillion dollars on “healthcare” and we continually spend more than any other country in the world (there is a fantastic visual of this compared to the rest of the world here ) It then stands to reason that we, as a country, should be the healthiest – most dollars spent on our health, right? Sadly, that is not the case.  This Bloomberg study ranks the U.S. at number 33 (other studies feature similar standings). The truth is, the majority of our “healthcare” dollars (over 90%) are not spent to keep us healthy, but to try to make us less sick.

There are actually two distinct types of care: emergency intervention and health promotion. There is a very clear difference between the two. One is reactive and happens after an incident occurs, while the other is proactive and helps to prevent sickness and promote optimal health and healing. Now certainly both paradigms are necessary for our society to function (emergency intervention is exactly what I want if I’m in a car accident or break a bone). However, when the majority of our “healthcare” dollars are spent in the emergency care arena, it is only logical that we will create more dysfunction and disease, rather than a healthy population.

Health Promotion

To understand these paradigms further, let’s compare two properties on the same street, one with a security system and the other without. One day a couple of thieves decide to burglarize the two houses. Upon entering the house without a security system, they were able to steal and damage thousands of dollars worth of property. Even if the owner has the best insurance available, it is still going to take hours of paperwork, phone conversations, scheduling and lots of money to restore the property to its original state. When the burglars try to enter the property with a security system, they immediately flee the scene because of the alarm that scares them away. Other than minor damage to a door or window, everything else remains unscathed because this property was prepared. 

In the second example, because the owner invested in the security of his home, it will take far less time, money, and energy to overcome the attempted burglary. This is exactly what I am referring to when I talk about health promotion. Taking the time to invest in your health by exercising, eating organic fruits and vegetables, consuming high quality food supplements, mediating/praying/journaling, receiving massage, and of course regular chiropractic adjustments are all minimal upfront investments to promote your health. However, the majority of our “health care” dollars wait until the emergency (i.e. high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, heart attack, obesity) before investing anything towards health promotion. At this time, it will take far more time, money, and energy to recover from that emergency than if you had been investing in your health throughout your life. In the words of a good friend, “Do not wait until it’s too late!”

This is the first of four principles that should act as guidelines for how you assess your healthcare choices.  There is no perfect plan for guaranteed longevity or vitality; but there are wise choices you can make on a daily basis to increase your health into you golden years.  Knowledge is power, and now you know.  The true test is what you do with it.
