Food for Thought for Active Mothers – Food and Vitamins

that Help with Tendonitis

You may currently be suffering from tendonitis if you have a painful feeling that won’t

go away either in your shoulders, elbows, wrists, heels, or even behind your knee.

If you’re wondering what exactly a tendon is, it is a fibrous cord that connects your

muscles to your bones. Tendonitis can be fairly common if you are a fit mother who

likes to stay active on a regular basis and you happen to use the same muscle over

and over again during a favorite sport or exercise. Once you have tendonitis it is not

fun to deal with, especially if you are keen on running, exercising, or trying a new

class at the gym. However, there are ways to counteract tendonitis with vitamins

such as glucosamine, eating the right foods, and icing your injury so that it heals

properly. You don’t want to start your spring in pain when all you want to do is stay fit

and fierce!

How Glucosamine Helps with Tendonitis –

Even though there are many more studies that must be done on glucosamine in

regards to helping your tendons heal, in 2010 there was a research program that set

out to determine the effects of glucosamine on the tendons in rabbits. The results

were the rabbits that took this supplement healed stronger and faster than those

who were not given glucosamine. Glucosamine from Seven Seas will most definitely

strengthen your joints, which is also related to tendonitis. It certainly won’t hurt you to

try to heal your tendonitis with glucosamine and other methods; however it’s always

a good idea to consult with your doctor before trying something new. Hopefully in

time more evidence will be conclusive and will prove that glucosamine will help with

joint pain as well as tendonitis!

Foods that Help Ease Symptoms of Tendonitis –

Other ways you can help your tendonitis heal is by eating the right kind of foods.

Foods with whole grains, omega 3 fatty acids, and vitamin C are just three different

vitamins in food that are needed to help with your overall health as well as take away

the discomfort of tendonitis. Find omega-3 fatty acids in fish, walnuts, flaxseed, and

more. Vitamin C is not produced by the body naturally so it’s especially important

to eat these foods: oranges, kale, tomatoes, broccoli, etc. Vitamin C will also help

reduce inflammation and help your body heal from injury. Whole grains help your

body resist infection as well as work as a healing agent.

Keep these tips in mind and see a doctor if your pain persists – it’s important not to

injure a hurting muscle that’s already injured!

half marathons. She’s trying different methods to counteract the pain. Catch up with

her on her Ocean Dreams blog.

Thanks Sierra for this great article! One of my gym buddies has been having a lot of knee pain so I am thrilled to share these tips with her. :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
