Fibromyalgia (FM), as most our readers know, is a condition that
involves widespread tenderness, elevated perception of pain, fatigue,
and cognitive difficulties on a persistent basis. As there is no cure
for FM, those with FM look for options to manage their ongoing symptoms.One very common suggestion (besides medication) is exercise. I can hear the groans. When you are dealing with ongoing pain, you're not going to be particularly eager to add exercise even if studies show both aerobic and resistance training help with FM symptom management.
Vacation time should be relaxing and free from
pain. Having fibromyalgia (FMS) can make vacations extremely stressful
since it does not distinguish food stress from bad. In FM, they can both
hurt. There are many reasons why vacations cause paradoxical flare-ups:
happy stress, a hectic schedule, increased physical activities
(walking, hauling luggage, etc.), and changes from our proper posture.
In our eagerness to take our vacation, we often forget our necessary
daily routine for controlling fibromyalgia. Since we are bringing our FM
with us, we have to make sure our fibromyalgia has a good time too!
The secret to anti-aging? Keep your cells alive and you live longer.
It’s that simple. Two ways to help your cells stay alive is with proper
nutrition and protecting them from oxidative (free radical) damage. The
antioxidant supplement coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) does both. Plus CoQ10 is
ubiquitous to every cell in your body for good reason – your cells use
it for energy to function. That’s why it’s the number one nutrient for
your heart, the muscle that runs 24/7. Now studies show CoQ10 benefits
not only a healthier inside but also a healthier outside – by protecting
and anti-aging your skin.
