  • Most teens want to build muscle, even if it means going to great (and unhealthy) lengths

    Gym rats, pro athletes, and teens- what do these three groups of people have in common? They all want to build muscle, and may even go to great lengths to do so. It is common to hear of gym rats, and even some pro athletes (even if it’s against regulations), who use steroids, or other muscle-enhancing supplements to help gain muscle mass, but now teens are mirroring these risky behaviors, too.

Both injuries involve tearing or trauma to the muscle, tendon or ligament tissue. But a strain — sometimes referred to as a “pulled muscle” — is a muscle or tendon injury often affecting the hamstring or lower back. A sprain refers to a stretched or torn ligament, with the ankle particularly susceptible. Both injuries bring pain, swelling, and limited flexibility and range of motion. 

  • How to tame kids' ever-growing Christmas list wishes

    My family celebrates Christmas.  Recently, my son wrote his Christmas list.  I guess it’s a sign of the times, but most of the items he is requesting this year are technological in nature and are at least $50.00.  Here’s the kicker:  He’s only seven.  I figured I’d have a few more years before the list started to contain gadgets like laptops and ipods, but it looks like I was wrong.  I read through the list and my initial reaction was, “Are you kidding me?!  No way!”
