Mangos are packed with more than a dozen types of polyphenols (antioxidants) that can help prevent cancer. Mango is also full of Vitamin A which helps to boost the immune system. Vitamin A is also the key to healthy, moisturized skin and hair. Recent experiments show that mangoes help to regulate blood sugar levels. And the leutein and zeaxanthin found in mangoes are good for healthy eyes.

Windmill toe touches are also bad because you’re bending and rotating at the same time. Either bend or rotate during a stretch, not both.

Bouncing stretches are a recipe for muscle tears. The old “hurdler’s stretch” where you put one leg out in front and the other leg behind you, is out as well. That stretch causes stress in the ligaments of your knee. It’s better to put both legs out in front, and stretch toward your toes gently.

Cold muscles are tight and don’t have much stretch in them. Instead, warm up for five minutes or more before you stretch any muscle that you hold. A little light running, a few minutes warming up in the sun, or even a warm bath will be enough to get your muscles moving and active before you stretch.

Your muscles need oxygen throughout the stretch so take good deep, slow breaths as you stretch. Holding your breath can also raise blood pressure. Simple stretches such as shoulder rolls don’t require that you hold them, but other stretches such as quadriceps stretches should be held for at least 20 seconds. 60 seconds is even better.
Remember to breathe throughout the stretch.

When it comes to stretching, it’s wrong! Stretch slowly and gently within what’s comfortable. It’s ok to feel mild tension within your muscles and joints, but don’t push past a mild pull. If you have discomfort in your neck, back, shoulders or knees while you stretch, lessen the stretch until it’s comfortable. If the discomfort continues even with a mild stretch, a neuromuscular massage therapist can help you regain your flexibility.

6. Shoulder presses. Position your arms out to your sides in a goal post shape—with your hands up, elbows bent and palms facing forward. Slowly raise your arms until they’re straight but without locking your elbows…then lower your arms back down to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

5. Heel stands. Hold onto a wall or chair for support, raise your toes as high as you can so your weight is on your heels. Hold for a few seconds…then lower your toes back down. Repeat 10 times. If you want to add resistance, try doing it balanced on one heel at a time.
