Why stretch?

It's a fact of life: just as an itchy body needs some scratching, our body needs to be stretched each day.

Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease or any disease. If it becomes oxidized it can irritate/inflame tissues in which it is lodged in, such as the endothelium (lining of the arteries). This would be one of numerous causes of chronic inflammation that can injure the lining of arteries. However, many good fats are easily oxidized such as omega-3 fatty acids, but it does not mean that you should avoid it at all costs.

Can exercise wear out joints? Usually not; in most cases, exercise does more good than harm to joints, says Professor Patrick McNeil, a rheumatologist and the president of Arthritis Australia.[1]

 2.       Sore joints are a clear sign o...
