Ok we count on that the Hart rate monitor was not malfunctioning, while it’s difficult to comment upon each individual case, unusual heart-rate fluctuations or sudden jump in Hart rate experienced by athletes could be Hart palpitations which are common in athletes, which is usually felt as a regular pounding or racing of the heart, when you feel your puls you can feel there is more action than usual.

Mostly there is nothing to worry about (puhh), but some do require further specialist investigations when you feel dizzy or you near pass out. Palpitations mostly result from a premature contraction of the heart muscle, which causes the symptoms mentioned we talked about above. The premature contractions are normally short-lived, the heart quickly returns to its normal rhythm after maybe 5 – 60 sec..

NOW here are our research in some cases, when you run and you are near you max. hart rate, maybe 80-90% and you have been going for about at least 10 min, we have tested that some who where removing there sweat from above there eyebrows with there whole arm, that there Hart rate suddenly jumps from 182 to about 220/230 for about 10-20 sec.

The reason is that your Hart suddenly have to pump harder to get blood into your arm and as soon your arm is down again your hart rate slowly calm down. Sometimes it can be so simple, so instead getting pills or 1000 tests, think logic first.

The Only news we see from the Pharma Industry is they can keep one alive or hold down the problem for time to come, never a word “we have a cure”.

Serious when will we see any breakthrough in the Pharma industry.

What do you think or is this just the sites view.

Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble prohormones, the two major forms of which are vitamin D2 (or ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol). Vitamin D obtained from sun exposure, food, and supplements, is biologically inert and must undergo two hydroxylation reactions to be activated in the body. Calcitriol (1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol) is the active form of vitamin D found in the body. The term vitamin D also refers to these metabolites and other analogues of these substances.

Video to Vitamin D topic

Calcitriol plays an important role in the maintenance of several organ systems. However, its major role is to increase the flow of calcium into the bloodstream, by promoting absorption of calcium and phosphorus from food in the intestines, and re absorption of calcium in the kidneys; enabling normal mineralization of bone and preventing hypocalcemic tetany. It is also necessary for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

Now to the interesting Part of the information about this interesting, but over looked Vitamin D :

The anti-cancer activity of vit. D is thought to result from its role as a nuclear transcription factor that regulates cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and a wide range of cellular mechanisms central to the development of cancer. These effects may be mediated through vitamin D receptors expressed in cancer cells.

Increasing body of research supporting the hypothesis that the active form of vitamin D has significant, protective effects against the development of cancer. Studies show an inverse association between sun exposure, serum levels of 25(OH)D, and intakes of vitamin D and risk of developing and/or surviving cancer. 2005, scientists released a metastudy which demonstrated a beneficial correlation between vitamin D intake and prevention of cancer. Drawing from a meta-analysis of 63 published reports, the authors showed that intake of an additional 1,000 international units (IU) (or 25 micrograms) of vitamin D daily reduced an individual’s colon cancer risk by 50%, and breast and ovarian cancer risks by 30%. A scientific review undertaken by the National Cancer Institute found that vitamin D was beneficial in preventing colorectal cancer, which showed an inverse relationship with blood levels of 80 nmol/L or higher associated with a 72% risk reduction. However, the same study found no link between baseline vitamin D status and overall cancer mortality.

Video from University of California Vitamin D and Cancer

Low levels of vitamin D in serum have also been correlated with breast cancer disease progression and bone metastases, and studies suggest that increased intake of vitamin D reduces the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women.

The Canadian Cancer Society was the first to recommend, in 2007, that all of its adult citizens begin taking 1,000(IU) per day of vitamin D. The country’s northern latitude was a factor in the decision, as was the growing body of evidence showing the vitamin’s effectiveness in lowering instances of cancer.

Recently, Cannell and colleagues have suggested that vitamin D deficiency is a major risk factor for influenza and that vitamin D may be effective in reducing influenza incidence and severity.

In both publications, the authors concluded that physiological doses of vitamin D (5,000 IU/day for adults and 1,000 IU/day for every 25 pounds of body weight in children) might reduce the incidence of influenza, and proposed that pharmacological doses (2,000 IU/kg/day for 3–4 days) may have a treatment effect in influenza. The authors present epidemiological evidence suggesting that the seasonality of vitamin D deficiency may explain the seasonality of influenza epidemics and that the epidemiology of vitamin D deficiency may help explain the confusing epidemiology of influenza. However, the seasonality of influenza may also be explicable by other factors. For example, it has been shown that low absolute humidity favours the survival of the influenza virus. We recommend for adults about 5-10.000 iu per day to have Protective responce.

Vitamin D can potentially play a significant role in prevention of influenza, given a well demonstrated link between vitamin D deficiency and the incidence of respiratory infections. The diagnosis and treatment of vitamin D deficiency is straight-forward, cheap and without substantial risk. Thus, physicians should make an effort to diagnose and adequately treat vitamin D deficiency to prevent influenza recurrence. Given what is known about vitamin D and influenza, many contend that vitamin D should be considered an important public health issue.

Some Notes:

• Swine flu “H1N1″ is likely to be spread the same way as any flu, from person-to-person contact, through coughing and sneezing, the “best and easiest protection against flu”, including swine flu, is to “wash your hands often, for 15 to 20 seconds, with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand cleaner,  until your hands are dry, you could sing the alphabet song .

• You can’t get swine flu from eating pork or from drinking bottled or tap water, two common myths about contagion.

• People with immunity problems, such as thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and celiac disease, should talk to their doctors before upping their intake of immunity-boosting foods, because “their immune systems are already overstimulated.”

• Some reputed immunity-boosters, including garlic, foods high in zinc (such as oysters and peanuts), and foods rich in conjugated linoleic acid CLA (hard cheeses) have not been proven to fight the flu.

1. Quercetin : Apples, Onions, Broccoli, and Tomatoes

Quercetin is one of many thousands of flavonoids—substances that are responsible for plants’ colors, as well as many of their health benefits. La Puma says that in research performed on mice, stressful exercise increased flu susceptibility but quercetin canceled out the negative effects. The same illness-fighting results were found in a study on cyclists, La Puma says, citing a study from Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. Quercetin is also believed to aid in disease prevention thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties (to learn more about inflammation, read our feature on the Anti-Inflammatory Diet). So load up on quercetin-packed produce, including apples, onions, broccoli, and tomatoes. Tip: When buying tomatoes, consider choosing organic which always a good thing.

Chicken Soup

Chicken soup really does have healing properties, to get the anti-inflammatory and other health benefits of do the chicken soup with vegetables rather than using store-bought condensed soup or cooking with chicken alone.

Grean Tee

Green tea is high in “anti-viral activity against influenza,” – white and green teas contain higher levels of catechins—the flavonoids thought to be responsible for tea’s antiviral properties—than oolong and black teas.

Yogurt

Many underestimate the power of Yogurt when it comes to boost the immune system - probiotics—the friendly bacteria found in yogurt and some other foods may reduce cold and flu symptoms.

Vitamin D–Rich Foods

experiments in the 1940s showed that mice that received diets low in vitamin D were more susceptible to experimental swine flu infection than those that received adequate vitamin D - getting sufficient vitamin D can offer protection against swine flu—the vitamin is believed to cause the production of antimicrobial substances in the body. “In winter, too little vitamin D is made in your skin, because the angle of the sun is too low,”

Hmm could be something to this, be cause of the lack of sun in Winter.

Now I hope none of the readers get the flu, so enjoy the Winter.

What is a Strain? – A sprain is an injury to a ligament, the tough, fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bone. Ligament injuries involve a stretching or a tearing of this tissue.

What is a pull? – well I dont have to explain that I think.

These injuries often occur during a sudden change of direction while running and quick starts and stops. These injuries are especially common in field or court sports.

How to Treat a Groin Pull

For immediate relief of a groin pull, you have to Rest, ice, compression and elevation (R.I.C.E) are the best immediate treatment for pulls and strains. Avoid fast running or changing direction  activities for the first 1 to 2 weeks and gradually return to sports. I recommend 2 days rest, then do some light running if pain is coming, then stop and ice, but I think it is important to kep somewhat active, so there is always some blood circulation, so the Groin gets the Nutrition for repair.

Once activity is started again, ice the muscle after exercise to reduce any swelling. After applying the ice, wrap the thigh to keep it compressed.

When inflammation subsides, you can start with gentle groin stretching and progress to a strengthening program of low-intensity exercises.

Running may be started during recovery, but it should be gentle, gradual and not include hill or sprint work. Pay attention to signs of pain or increased tenderness, and reduce exercise if any develops. Stretch gently and never force a stretch. A return to activity should be possible within two or three weeks.

How to treat a groin strain:

Apply ice to the injured area in the acute phase (first 48 hours after injury), and then after activities. Ice will help calm the inflammatory response.

It is important to rest following the injury to allowed the injured muscle to properly heal, I think 2 days you should take a pause. Allow pain to guide your level of activity; this means that activities which cause symptoms should be avoided, if pain is felt stop and ice.

Stretching is helpful, but it should not be painful. Stretching excessively can be harmful and slow down the healing process. Before activities, gentle heating can help loosen the muscle.

Apply a heat pack to the groin prior to stretching or exercising.
