Systematic reviews of available literature demonstrate that regular exercise confers significant reductions in the symptoms that are associated with both depression and anxiety. Scientists have discovered that the positive effects of exercise are the same whether depressed individuals participate in supervised group activities or unsupervised exercise in the home or gym. Unfortunately, one of the primary symptoms shared by depressed persons is a lack of motivation; for such individuals, less vigorous activities that still conferred benefit would be ideal. Yoga and high-intensity exercise, on the other hand, have repeatedly demonstrated their depression-fighting effects in multiple studies. The Secret Fat Burner has made headlines across South Africa for being the most successful fat burner on the market today. The Secret Fat burner owes its success to Yohimbine, an highly effective appetite suppressant that will make you not want to eat at all. Before you run into the boredom of a diet rut, take a look at some new foods or revisit some of old favorites. A great option for gluten-free cooking and for protein deficits in a vegetarian diet, quinoa makes a great compliment to a meal as a rice-substitute. This super-legume also provides more than 60% of the daily nutritional requirement of Thiamine and Iron. Spinach also provides an excellent source of protein and iron. Acai is also loaded with anthocyanins postulated to aid in fighting aging, high cholesterol, heart disease, strokes and colon cancer. Commonly consumed as a juice or a smoothie, try this amazing berry blended with a banana and a splash of orange juice for a tasty and healthy breakfast. Once all measures have been taken to reduce pain and inflammation and your family doctor or physical therapist think you are ready, it is important to work on restoring movement to the shoulder. Due to pain and restricted movement it is very difficult to exercise the affected arm and shoulder. These exercises move and stretch the shoulder joint to the point of pain only. Lift the affected arm with your good arm and place on a shelf, mantel piece or something just below shoulder height. Take 3 deep breaths, relax affected shoulder and bend at the knees slowly opening up the arm pit. Stretch to the point of pain then slowly stand up straight again, breathing evenly as you go (don’t tense up and hold breath). Tie the end of a long scarf securely around the wrist of the affected arm. Grasp the end of the scarf with the good hand and gently pull to raise the affected arm to the point of pain. Stay relaxed, breathing evenly and let the arm back down again. The good arm is used to raise and lower the affected arm at a pace and to a point that suits. It is important to ensure all props used are very secure as any instability could lead to sudden movements and further pain or trauma to the affected joint. Only then will you be able to fully relax which is essential for passive exercise to be effective.
