The benefits of practicing sport regularly are numerous, provided that it is done properly, with medical supervision, proper nutrition and adequate hydration and equipment.
In Spain, we witness a real boom around running, paddle or Nordic walking, among other sports. The number of popular races has doubled in recent years and it is common to see on our streets people of all ages and conditions doing sport.
This phenomenon has been accompanied by a growing demand for information, services, and products around the sport. And, of course, this has also been reflected in the pharmacy.
More and more people come to your pharmacy for nutrients, food supplements and orthopedic items, such as knee pads or ankles, related to sports.
The most frequent consultations are those related to nutrition and energy supplements aimed at optimizing the training and the physical condition of the athletes. The following are those related to orthopedic material aimed at avoiding injuries (knee, ankle, lumbar belts, etc.) and products to mitigate the effects of some minor injuries, such as gels and sprays, cold bags, etc. Some essential oils also have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that help relieve discomfort in muscle and joint tissue, such as essential oil of wintergreen and blue eucalypt, among others.
At the pharmacy you will find information on how to develop a healthy and safe sports practice, thanks to the advice of a health professional such as the pharmacist, specially trained on nutritional aspects and knowledgeable in the range of orthopedic solutions that can help you minimize risks and, In case you have a minor injury, mitigate its consequences.
Here are some recommendations:
- Before starting to play sports, it is advisable to check our physical condition by medical examination, especially if we are over 40 years old.
- It is important to start slowly to avoid injury.
- Maintain a healthy and balanced diet.
- Always warm up before starting and stretching at the end of sports practice.
- It is necessary to equip properly according to the sport to practice, the time of the year and the environment (the shoes that we will need to run on asphalt or on the track are not the same).
- Hydrate. Before, during and after training. Is essential
- It is important to end the training by reducing the intensity and calming back progressively.
- Inter-session rest is an essential part of sports practice. It will help us perform more and avoid the usual overtraining injuries.
- Before a previous injury, we will use orthoses and/or sports protection, as they are wristbands, kneepads, ankle guards, girdles, etc.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI Took Onglyza off and on for a year. I have an enlarged adrenal gland. Still I await the outcome of that CT, but I know that much. Will find out more.
I had the CT because of chronic pancreatic pain that started out as "attacks" from a couple of times a month to finally after 3 months of use without interruption, "attacks" 2-3 times a week. My PA put Onglyza on my allergies list.
In the meantime, I lost almost 50 lbs in 5 months due to illness. Loss of appetite, pancreatic pain, chronic diarrhea, then eventually, inability to move my bowels. Severe back pain from the pancreas, and severe chest pain sent me to the ER where I was worked up for cardiac pain. I was cardiac cleared, but told my amylase was very low.
Still seeking a diagnosis, but I lay the blame squarely on Onglyza. I'd had pancreatic issues in the past, and argued with the PA that prescribed it, she was calling me non-compliant, and I feared repercussions from my insurance company.
I even took an article about the dangers of Onglyza, particularly in patients with a history, and she made me feel foolish.
I wish I had listened to my instincts, I fear not only damage to my pancreas that is irreversible, but also severe damage to my left kidney, though I have bilateral kidney pain.
I was off all diabetes meds, and controlled sugars strictly low to no carb. I can barely eat anymore, I have severe anorexia.
I would warn anyone taking Onglyza to consider a change and try Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, and anyone considering taking it, to select a different avenue. I have been suffering severely for about 9 months, but the past 7 months have been good with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicine which I took for 4 weeks.
I have been off Onglyza now, for 7 months, and simply 100% improved with the help of Dr Itua. I had none of these issues except a history of pancreatitis in my distant past.
I will recommend anyone here with health problems to contact Dr Itua on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com and website www.drituaherbalcenter.com also he ccure the following disease with his herbal medicines Hiv/Aids,Herpes,Copd, Glaucoma, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease, Enlarged prostate, Alzheimer's disease, Dementia.
