Why Stretching Is So Important

Some of my favorite stretches....




As a massage therapist, I often ask clients about their stretching routine. More times than not I find that people don't fit much stretching into their schedules. Having a regular regimen of stretching is an important part of maintaining correct balance in the body, and omitting these stretches deprive you of a valuable self-healing technique.

Stretching your muscles on a regular basis can improve range of motion and flexibility. Keeping muscles at a proper length takes unnecessary tension off tendons, which lessens the chance of any damage. Stretching also allows for more muscle tone; muscle will be larger in volume without becoming bulky.

Top Five Reasons to Stretch
Athlete Performance: From die-hard runners to the recreational golfer- regular stretching exercises will increase flexibility and range of motion. This lessens the chance of damage to muscles, ligaments and tendons. Stretching muscles also increases muscle tone without creating bulk.
Body Building: Think of a goldfish in a fishbowl. That little fish will stay the same size unless it's given a chance to expand in a larger tank. Muscles work on the same principal. Stretching a muscle gives it more room to expand and add mass.

Posture Improvement: Individuals who work at a computer desk or drive long distances regularly seem to have a permanent slouched position, and will often have upper back pain. Chest muscles become short while upper back and neck muscles become taunt and tense. By stretching the muscles in the front portion of your body allows the shoulders to fall into proper position, letting the upper back muscles relax and letting you balance your spine properly over your hips.

Elderly: Muscles that stay in a tight shortened state have a more likely chance of getting injured. An easy stretching routine can restoring muscle flexibility and endurance help regain balance and strength, and lessen the likelihood of an injury from a fall or sudden movement.

Weight Loss: Frequently stretching will increase the amount of lean muscle in your body. This in turn raises your metabolic rate, which increases the amount of calories burnt. Adding stretches to an exercise routine can assist in faster results.

Most people fit into one or more of these categories. No matter whom you are, you are probably looking for a simple way to improve your body, whether it's speed and endurance, dropping a few pounds, developing good posture, or improving your flexibility. It's easy to develop an effective stretching routine; most can be done in your home without assistance.

Holiday Protein Balls

The holiday season is upon and this usually means all kinds of sweets! Well here is my version of healthy holiday protein balls.

I tried this this past weekend and they are very good. I would like to try adding maybe some mini dark chocolate chunks or some dried fruit next time.

Ingredients:

1/4 c ground oats
1/2 cup honey ( I only used about 1 TBSP but it could use a bit more)
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (next time I plan to use almond butter)
1/2 cup sunflower kernels
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa ( I used chocolate protein powder instead)
1 tsp vanilla

**Mix all together and roll into balls. Then roll in coconut or ground almonds! Refrigerate!

Leftover Pumpkin Recipe

If you have leftover pumpkin from Thanksgiving, here is a very yummy and healthy recipe for you! I love scones because they are not full of sugar but still taste awesome! I have experimented with many different flavors too but thought this would be a good one for this time of the year!

Here is the recipe: 
 
1 cup ground oats (flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup water
1 egg white
1/3 cup pumpkin
1 serving protein powder (vanilla)

Mix all together and drop onto baking sheet or as I did into a muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes at 375. Enjoy!

This made six single servings and here is the nutrition breakdown per serving:
168 Calories
14 Carbs
10 Fat
7  Protein
