Lynn’s Wellness Tips:
TIPS
FOR PREVENTING LOW BACK PAIN
-
Don't lift by bending
over. Lift an object by bending at your hips and knees and then
squatting to pick up the object. Keep your back straight and hold
the object close to your body. Avoid twisting your body while
lifting.
-
Push rather than pull
when you must move heavy objects.
-
If you must sit at a
desk or at the wheel of a vehicle for long periods of time, break up
the time with moments to stretch.
-
Wear shoes with low
heels...1 inch or lower
-
Exercise
regularly. An inactive lifestyle contributes to lower back pain.
HEALTH TIPS
  Does
grape juice offer the same heart benefits as red wine?
-
Deborah / Florida
Mayo Clinic
cardiologist Martha
Grogan, M.D., and colleagues answer select questions from readers.
Answer
Possibly.
There is some evidence that drinking red wine may reduce the risk of
heart disease. But this benefit is most likely due to other factors
such as antioxidants called flavonoids found in red wine. Grapes and
red grape juice also contain flavonoids.
Red
wine also contains a substance called resveratrol, which may reduce the
risk of blood clots. Resveratrol is found in the skin and seeds of
grapes. But it isn't known if grapes provide enough resveratrol to have
a significant health benefit.
The
American Heart Association doesn't recommend that anyone start drinking
alcohol just to prevent heart disease. If you already drink alcohol, do
so in moderation. Keep in mind that drinking too much alcohol can
increase the risk of:
-
High
blood pressure
-
Obesity
-
Stroke
-
Cancer
In
addition, even light drinking can lead to alcohol addiction.
