Health Is Vital

Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out. Our county health and crisis line is 1-855-278-4204.

Stretches


This paper is presented by Alliance Occupational Medicine
Bring shoulder blades and arms together behind back and hold for five seconds. 


Tilt head forward and place hand behind head for added stretch

tilt ear towards shoulder (don't twist neck) for 15 seconds once each side

hold arm above head, grasp with other hand at elbow and lean sideways from the waste

Same as 4 but pull elbow behind head.  This will stretch shoulder

Put arm across your chest and hold elbow tighter to your chest with other hand, this will stretch back.
hold something shoulder height, and then rotate body away from hold.  

interlace fingers and reach for the sky

Forearm and wrist stretches, opposite dirrections

alternate is the bend forward and hold


with nothing to keep balance, hold ear lobe with opposite hand
