A cup of yogurt with raspberries and honey
A cup of grapes with walnuts
A cup of lightly salted edamame
10 Wheat Thins and a half cup of cottage cheese
A half cup of hummus on cucumber slices
A cup of microwave oatmeal with blueberries
A banana with a tablespoon of peanut or cashew butter
Turkey jerkey and an orange
A pear with a tablespoon of almond butter

Plantar Fasciitis Myths

Plantar fasciitis is not caused by heel spurs. A heel spur is a small bone growth on the calcaneus (heel).

Only one out of every 10 people will ever have a heel spur, and only one out of 20 of those people will feel heel pain because of it.

Plantar fasciitis has many causes, but the most common–tightness in the calf muscles–can be treated by neuromuscular massage.

Give Your Brain a Regular Workout

Learn a new skill. Your brain is designed to make new connections, so learning new things can increase the number of brain cells you have. Learn to do the sudoku in the newspaper, learn new vocabulary words, study a new language, or figure out some brain twisters.

Get moving. Active people have substantially lower rates of alheimers and other forms of dementia.

Spice up your food. Your brain enjoys spices as much as your taste buds do. Black pepper, cinnamon, oregano, basil, ginger and vanilla are high in anti-oxidants.

Set some goals. People who behave with a purpose are less likely to develop dementia-related illnesses that people who do not set goals.

Be social. Join a group where you can hold meaningful conversations. Conversing is one of the best ways to stimulate your brain.

Take some B12. People with low B12 levels are susceptible to memory loss.

Lack of sleep has been linked to many disease processes.

The most common cause of sleeplessness is a lack of a sleep-healthy routine.
Set a time that you want to be asleep. An hour before your sleep time, turn of all electronics.

Getting rid of the LED lights and stimulus will help you wind down.

Read a good book. Take a warm bath. Be alone with your thoughts.

If your kids spend hours each day texting their friends, they may complain of pain in their hands or thumbs.

This is caused from unnatural motion when using the thumbs to text, and tightening of the muscles in the hands to hold the phone.

Neuromuscular massage can relieve the pain in their thumbs and hands.
