At its most basic, doctors agree that asthma is a respiratory disease that results in ‘chronic inflammation of the airways’.
People often show symptoms well before asthma develops, because asthma can start with something as simple as a common cold or cough.
Other symptoms that could potentially become asthma include sneezing, mild shortness of breath, or even something outside your lungs or respiratory tract such as a headache.
The bottom line is that it is extremely common for the initial signs of asthma to be ignored, because they appear to be nothing more than the symptoms of a common, everyday condition such as a cough or a cold.
This lack of awareness is one of the main reasons many people do not seek treatment for their asthma.
According to the Asthma Society of Canada, as many as six out of every ten Canadians who have asthma do not control their condition. This figure is expected to be similar in other developed Western nations.
Because asthma is a chronic condition, it is one that has to be dealt with throughout your life. It causes inflammation, and therefore constricts the airways that carry air in your lungs. Consequently, this restricts the passage of air from the outside world through an asthma sufferer’s lungs, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Asthma sufferers’ airways are sensitive to many conditions, such as moist, warm or cold air, allergens, stress or physical exertion. The muscles that surround the airways react to these conditions by contracting and narrowing the airways of a person with asthma.
The problem is generally made worse by the fact that the muscles also cause excess mucus to be produced at the same time as the contraction, further blocking the airways.
However, many of the most common signs of an asthma attack can often be recognized well before the condition itself is fully developed.
Some of the signs of asthma are obvious, whereas others might not be as easily recognized and possibly the result of another medical condition. The less obvious the symptoms are, the earlier in the development cycle of asthma or the less likely that the symptoms will turn into asthma.
Less acute indicators that might fall into the ‘early warning’ category could include any of the following:
• Frequent mood changes
• Regular bouts of sneezing
• Restlessness
• Glassy or watery eyes
• Unexplained increased tiredness
• Dry mouth
• Persistent or constant headaches
• Sleeping difficulties
• Exercise intolerance
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Pale complexion
Obviously, all of these ‘early warning’ indicators could suggest that asthma might become a problem, but they could also be the result of another serious medical condition.
Consequently, you would not necessarily assume that any of the symptoms in the previous list is a clear indicator or precursor of asthma. However, if these symptoms are ignored, the condition is likely to worsen for anyone who is at risk to develop asthma.
When the condition worsens, the symptoms become increasingly obvious. These symptoms could include:
• Wheezing, coughing and general tightness in the chest
• Shortness of breath, especially after basic exercise such as walking or climbing the stairs
• Inability to talk
• Inability to think clearly
• Drooping posture or hunched shoulders indicating that the sufferer is struggling for breath
• Obvious nasal flaring as they struggle to inhale
• Contraction in the area below the ribs and in the neck while struggling to breathe
• A grey or grey-blue tint gradually appearing on the skin, often starting around the nose and mouth area
Any of these signs would be indicative of what we would normally recognize to be an ‘asthma attack’.
Everything about asthma up to this point seems relatively straightforward because you will probably recognize the asthma ‘symptoms’ - especially if you know someone who suffers from the condition. Asthma is a surprisingly common condition and one that most of us are familiar with to some degree.

Pre Game Techniques For Tennis Elbow Treatment
Once the doctor has told you that you have tennis elbow, your first thought will naturally be, “I won’t be able to play tennis, golf, work, etc.”
Not true. While rehabilitation is something that you will want to consider in the future, you can still work, play tennis or golf with the use of proper techniques. Using these techniques will then alleviate the pain from tennis elbow and may even arrest it.
Once you are pain free, you can the undergo a rehabilitation process that will cure the condition for good.
Most doctors will tell you that you should “rest” in order to cure the tennis elbow which is caused by tears in the elbow tendon.
That is what tennis elbow is - a tear in the tendon.
These are often
caused by overuse of the tendon and, in some cases, improper use.
While rest can heal the overused tendon and cure the problem, it is not always the practical solution. If you need to work, or need to play a sport, you cannot always take time off.
A professional golfer or tennis player may find that it is not feasible to stop their game. They may be scheduled for a tournament that they have to play in for the sake of their careers. But this does not mean that they have to endure tremendous pain in order to play the game. There are techniques that can be used before, during and after the games that can alleviate the pain and allow you to continue to play, even if you are suffering from tennis elbow.
Pre Game Techniques
Before any games, you should take some sort of anti-inflammatory drug such as an ibuprofen or naproxen. NSAIDs will help alleviate some of the pain and will enable you to perform better when you are playing the game.
The use of these drugs on a long term basis have been linked to problems with the digestive system. You should never rely on NSAIDs for a long period of time as they can cause ulcers and other stomach problems. Taking a couple of Tylenol, however,
prior to a tennis match or a golf game is more than fine. Just don’t get used to taking them on a long term basis.
In addition to the over the counter pain relievers, you should also do some stretching of your arms before the match. This includes basic stretching of the biceps, triceps, shoulders and forearms before you start to play. Actually, this should be a matter of course when you play tennis or any other sport. Many sports injuries are due to the fact that you do not limber up and properly stretch
before a match. Even if you do not suffer from tennis elbow, you should still stretch these muscles before a game or match.
Do not neglect your legs, either. Although you may not feel any pain in your legs and you are worried about your tennis elbow, you can do yourself a favor and give your legs a good stretching out.
In order to maintain proper circulation in your arms during the game, keep them warm as you warm up using stretching techniques. This can be done with a series of arm warmers.
Remember leg warmers that were used by dancers and other athletes at one time (and oddly enough became a fashion statement in gyms during the 1980s?) Well, they had a purpose.
They kept the legs warm during exercise and improved circulation.
You should do the same for your arms. Although you will not be wearing arm warmers during your tennis match, you should be wearing them while you limber up.

Exercise for Stress Free
The benefits of exercise:-
• Reduce the risk of premature death
• Reduce the risk of developing and/or dying from heart disease
• Reduce high blood pressure or the risk of developing high blood pressure
• Reduce high cholesterol or the risk of developing high cholesterol
• Reduce the risk of developing colon cancer and breast cancer
• Reduce the risk of developing diabetes
• Reduce or maintain body weight or body fat
• Build and maintain healthy muscles, bones, and joints
• Reduce depression and anxiety
• Improve psychological well-being
• Enhanced work, recreation, and sport performance
Exercises You Can Do in the Comfort of your Home
• Sit ups
• Crunches
• Put your steps to good use if you have them, just one step is needed. This will work your leg muscles and get your adrenaline going a bit.
• Lift baby weights while you watch tv
• Stomach tuck-in (if your unsure of what this one is, I will explain: sit up straight in a chair with your back pressed against the back of the chair, breathe out and at the same time suck in your tummy, hold it in for 2 to 3 seconds, then release your tummy while breathing in)
• Squats
• Do the aerobics work out (there is usually an aerobics show on early in the mornings) or of course you can always just buy an aerobics video work-out.
Of course, there is nothing like getting out of the house and going for a walk in the park or botanical gardens enjoying and taking in the world around us!
A nice brisk 15 minute walk each day will work wonders for you. And of course sunlight has its benefits for you as well. It’s been reported that scientists believe that sunlight can help prevent these cancers:
• Breast cancer
• Colon cancer
• Ovary cancer
• Bladder cancer
• Womb cancer
• Stomach cancer
• Prostate gland cancer
But of course it isn’t going to protect you from sun cancer. So make sure you slap on some sunscreen ;-)
Yoga
Madonna now only uses yoga as her one form of exercise! So it must be good!
You can pick up some pretty cheap yoga videos simply by going to eBay and typing in to search: yoga video. There are some available just for a few bucks. If you’re interested, it’s well worth a look at. Especially if you can get it that cheap!

Coral Calcium
Studies show that about 150 diseases are blamed to be the end result of calcium deficiency.
Calcium is the mineral that is involved in making the teeth and bones.
However, it is the mineral that maneuvers the body's metabolic functions.
This means, calcium is one of the most important minerals traced to be contained in the body.
Coral calcium is the best source of this trace mineral!
About 42% of the body's minerals ar made up of calcium.
This is why Calcium is named the "king of minerals".
The bones act as a bank which saves the calcium in it.
When the body has a need for it calcium is released .
The body continuously demands for calcium.
The Factors that Disrupt the Calcium Flow
Stress.
Nutritional stress. - caused by some of the foods and drinks that we take.
Nutrient stress.
Lack of calcium supply.
Personal food choice.
Coral Calcium was first introduced to the US market by nutritional formulator Ron Schneider.
It is derived from the Coral Reefs in Okinawa, Japan.
Coral Calcium is easily digested in the body.
Reduces your risk of acquiring osteoporosis, and various forms of arthritic conditions.
Coral Calcium can be found at Amazon for $20.

Kinesio Tape Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
About treatment of plantar fasciitis using kinesio tapes.
1. The diagnosis is: very often high arches and the first 2 - 3 steps after rest cause severe pain. If plantar fasciitis is chronic, other changes may occur: shortened calf because of walking on the ball of the foot.
2. Cortisone will only give short term relief - the mechanical effect remains. Surgery is not advised.
Taping will support the arch.
3. So the treatment is a combination of taping technique plus a specific exercise program.
4. Therapist will apply a stripping high force friction massage along the longitudinal arch from the upper joint to the middlefoot. The patient should be warned of the severe pain this massage will cause.
Also the patient must perform at home "auto-massage" and to use the "frozen bottle" massage.
5. Above treatment may continue twice daily for up to 3 weeks.
Patients hate the treatment but love the results.

Visit Sports Medicine Doctor
The doctor may test your grip and will then, after a careful examination, make a diagnosis of tennis elbow.
The reason why it is so important that you go to a doctor who is well versed in sports medicine is that they see a lot of cases of tennis elbow and can make a quicker diagnosis.
Remember Doris 13 - She went to her gynecologist and complained about her elbow.
He then ordered blood work and an x-ray of her arm - both of which came back without incident.
Had she gone to a doctor who specialized in sports medicine, she could have saved a lot of time and money.
Once the diagnosis is made with regard to tennis elbow, you should then begin a treatment plan with your doctor.
If your doctor also treats tennis elbow with a specialized treatment plan, you can then begin treatment right away.
Your doctor may decide to send you to a physical therapist or a doctor who treats this condition.
You are better off to seek a doctor who specializes in sports medicine for the treatment of tennis elbow.
The reason for this is that this condition is far from being obscure.
In fact, it is very common, affecting about 10 million people a year in the United States alone.
Because it is considered a sports injury (although not always related to sports) it is best treated by a doctor who specializes in the area of medicine known as sports medicine.
You have to get a firm diagnosis from your doctor before you can start treating tennis elbow with a physical therapist or a sports medicine doctor.
However, getting a diagnosis is as easy as a doctor visit.
Even if you do not have insurance, you should be able to get the diagnosis for the cost of a single office visit.
You should not have to worry about getting an MRI or costly X-rays.
If you suspect that you have tennis elbow, you should consider seeking a diagnosis from a sports medicine doctor.

Diagnosis Of Tennis Elbow
Only a doctor can diagnose tennis elbow.
Trying to diagnose this syndrome yourself is a waste of time.
The technical name for tennis elbow is Epicondylitis.
It is usually diagnosed upon your first visit to your doctor upon a simple physical exam of the arm and elbow area.
Your doctor will ask you questions about your condition in order to make a diagnosis and will also examine your arm, stretching it and asking you where it hurts. Very rarely will a doctor order x-rays or blood work, although he or she may err on the side of safety if they feel that you might be suffering from a fracture or other
condition. In most cases, however, the doctor will simply want to know the following:
* When did you first notice the condition and the pain?
* How does the pain radiate? You should be able to tell the doctor
where the pain begins and ends.
* Does the pain keep you up at night?
* What have you been doing to alleviate the pain?
* What type of job or activity do you do on a regular basis?
* Do you have any other pain or conditions that are of concern?
