Mid Back Pain Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly

Mid back pain exercises for seniors and the elderly include the back extension exercise or "cobra"  below.

Try these exercises 3 - 5 times per week for increased strength and endurance during the day.

As we age our spine  and head will begin to curve forward with the affect of gravity and poor posture.

This will bring on many mechanical problems including, pain in the mid-back or thoracic spine.

To reduce the risk of these problems associated with poor posture, it is important to perform a movement in the opposite direction as your curvature.

This is called spinal extension. A great and easy way to do this exercise is shown below. Relax on your bed or floor for this exercise. Let's get started!

Products and Recipes: Making Super Grains easier to fit into the day

 The mainstream diet trends of the last 30 years went from the low fat craze of the late 80’s, which evolved into the low carbohydrate fad of the 90’s, then to the no carbohydrate fad of the early 2000′s.

Once the masses understood that our bodies require carbs for basic functionality, we were led to the healthy carbohydrate revelation: whole grain.  We are now demanding more whole grains in our food and the industry is answering with Ancient Grains. These whole grain carbohydrates are often called “Super Grains” and rightfully so. They are packed with more protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals than their industrialized counterparts. With this nutritional panel, it is no wonder that grains like quinoa were often offered as gifts to the Incan gods.  For the modern grocery shopper, these grains are much less expensive when compared to meat (protein) and refined-convenience foods (i.e. quick cook rice).  At the Supply Side West conference in Las Vegas in November 2012 the results of 2011’s world-wide launch of products containing a super grain were reported. From Farro to Amaranth, a total of 659 new super grain products were released across the world.
