Health Benefits of the Tomato-“Love Apple”

February is considered the month of love, so why not examine all things good that symbolise love?The French actually named it tomato d’amour, “love apple,” because of its believed aphrodisiac power. Whether or not this prophecy  is true, there is a lot to love about the tomato.

According to an article published in Medical News Today, a tomato is considered to be a nutrient-dense superfood that offers benefit to a range of bodily systems. Its nutritional content supports healthful skin, weight loss, and heart health.

There are different types and sizes of tomato, and they can be prepared in different ways. The health benefits can vary between types. Eating a diet that contains large amounts of fruit and vegetables, is also linked to healthy skin and hair, increased energy, and lower weight. Increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables significantly decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality.

Walking on Thin Ice

The winter months have already brought us some icy lows and threaten continue to do so, so it is a good idea for us to perfect our “ice walk”

 

No matter how well the snow and ice is removed from parking areas and pavements, we will still encounter some slippery surfaces when walking outdoors this winter  It is important for us to be constantly aware of these dangers and to learn to walk safely on ice and slippery surfaces, in order to prevent slips and falls.

Be Ski Fit and Ski Safe!

Be safe on the Slopes!

The ski season is upon us with promising looking snow falls in Europe!

Most people believe that ski injuries happen on the first day, but Stuart Bennett DC, who is also a keen skier himself, says, “After three days of skiing and using unaccustomed muscles, skiers become confident but are physically tired and their capability isn’t necessarily matched to their confidence, this is when an injury is most likely to occur”.

Gift of Giving

Gift giving is an act that can show just how thankful you are for the life that you have. The receiver will truly feel your gratitude when you give gifts for elevating happiness and wellbeing.

Giving gifts to loved ones for special occasions is an ancient tradition. Whether it has its roots in religion or ritual, we all love to give and receive. Many of us know of those who truly need something, and there is nothing quite as gratifying as giving them this.

Here at Durham Family Chiropractic we pride ourselves in supporting local communities and especially those helping others with in the North East. In the past we have raised funds for the following charitable organisations: St Cuthbert’s Hospice, Durham; The British Legion Poppy Appeal; Macmillan Coffee Morning; Gift for Granny Campaign; The Marie Curie Daffodil Appeal; and PROPS and The Durham Foodbank.

Correct your sitting posture-The Do’s and Don’ts! by Dr Neil Thomas

Sitting is something that we do every day, either as part of our job, commuting or after a long day of work when relaxing on the sofa. The way we sit can however lead to long-term spinal health problems.

Let’s first take a look at the science behind sitting and then discuss how to do it properly. Nachemson and Elfstrom (1970) studied what happens to the intervertebral discs (IVDs) during different seating positions. The pressure that occurs within your IVDs when you sit (especially between the 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae) is at its least when the spine and hips are at 100 and 110 degrees. Sitting with your hips at 80 or 90 degrees results in IVD pressure increasing upwards of nearly 200%. The diagram below demonstrates IVD pressure when sitting in various positions according to the study done by Nachemson and Elfstrom.
