Your Health Deserve Better Man!

A sore Achilles tendon is a warning to back off and rest up before you end up spending the next six months on crutches with a full rupture. When you first feel tenderness, ice the spot for close to fifteen minutes several times a day. Then try these massage, which increase bloodflow which enhances healing, says Pat Maning, a physical therapist at Allegheny General Hospital's sports-medicine program in Pittsburgh.

A. Place your thumb directly on the tender area and firmly rub back and forth horizontally, perpendicular to the tendon. Do it hard enough that you feel a little discomfort, but not pain. Do this for three to four minutes three or four times a week.

B. If the tenderness is along the side of the tendon, press a thumb and index finger on the spot and repeatedly push the skin about a half inch forward, toward the shin. Don't just slide the fingers over the skin.

C. If it hurts where the tendon meets the heel, use your index finger to massage the point. To prevent soreness, stretch regularly. Stand on one foot on a step, your heel hanging off, and slowly lower the heel until you feel the stretch. Hold for thirty seconds, and repeat five times with each foot.

Cheers!

Giving Up Is Death (Motivational/Inspirational)

You have tried and failed on a project(s) for as many number of times as you are willing to count.
Now look at this story.
A man in the arid region of Nigeria lost his wife-the mother of his three young and tender children-to the cold hands of death(hunger/disease).
One day, he came back from his farm and met his children looking frail, farmished and rehydrated. He fed them with the last ration of the leftover. But in stead of them getting stronger, they all started throwing out in feverish conditions. He became confused and dejected. He looked upwards and down, but there was no helpful suggestion coming to him.
There was no water at home to give them.
"I am so weak from today's labour in the farm." He said.
The pitiable sight of his children made him pick a calabash and left home for the only source of water nearest to him. It was a six kilometers journey. But for the sake of his children, he was willing to sacrifice his strenght. He trekked the distance and climbed the mountainous hills to the stream. He fetchedd the water and drank some before he left for home.
At some point on his way home, he started feeling dizzy and fainty out of lack of food that he did not see his children sprawled out by the entrance door. His tired legs got trapped in the outstretched legs of one of his children and he fell. The calabash broke and the water spilled all over the room.
He shut his eye tight in fear and cursed under his breath. He lay on the floor, refusing to acknowledge his misfortune.
The battle to access his fate and ill fortune continued to battle within him until he heard his children laughing as they struggle to lick water off the surface of the floor. Some of the water had collected in a pool and they were spalshing the water all over their frail body. They were rejunevated.
The man was happy with knowing that his effort even in misfortune was able to resuscitate his children.


Lesson: Life's rewards appear at the end and not at the beginning of the journey. The catch is to keep trying.
