Don’t Die Early Book by Rocky Angelucci: My Positive Review

Don't Die Early Book Review — Don’t Die Early Author Rocky Angelucci

I love those books you start reading and end up not being able to put it down because it’s just such a good story you just need to know what happens at the end. These kind of awesome reading events are normally reserved for the latest fictional novel series to hit the book stores and definitely not for a book about health.

Well, prepared to be pleasantly surprised and, I hope, youthfully excited about knowing how to really test your state of health, your state of wellness.

Have I got your attention yet? I just finished reading the kindle ebook titled “Don’t Die Early: The Life You Save Can Be Your Own” by Rocky Angelucci and I wanted to blog about it straight away. In today’s post I needed to let you know why I’m excited by what I learnt, why I’m going to be recommending this book to my Chiropractic patients and a for you to hear my book review.

Eggshell Membrane Supplement: Why It’s Good for Your Joints

Eggshell Membrane Joint Supplement

Yup you read that right, the headline says how taking eggshell membrane supplements can help to reduce your joint ache. People like to ask me if they should be taking health supplements to help with their knee osteoarthritis, hip joint pain, back pain and general joint aches. I believe good nutrition is very important for our overall health and plays a big part in muscle, joint and nerve pain management, as I mentioned in the deflame diet.

Most people know, or have heard about, glucosamine and chondroitin supplements for knee osteoarthritis. I stumbled across how there is a new joint support supplement called BiovaFlex™ which is made up of the natural eggshell membrane (a.k.a NEM). I know I had to find out more, like you want to now know, about “how can taking membrane from an eggshell be good for us?”

How the Blue Wiggle Got a Better Back

I like reading stories how people turned their lives around to the positive and I read another one today about Anthony Field the Blue Wiggle from the kids show “The Wiggles“. Anthony had chronic pain when performing shows and was apparently in a bad way with his back pain and general chronic pain.

Buy Biofreeze Online: Natural Pain Relieving Rub Gel

Biofreeze is a rub on pain relief gel that many people and chiropractors use in the UK and around the world on sore areas of their body. I remember coming across Biofreeze gel on a Chiropractic conference in the USA back in the early 2000’s for the first time.

I know how people who are looking for back pain relief will tend to use a pain relief gel or cream to rub on the painful area. Today I wanted to let you know more about Biofreeze pain relief gel which I have used on myself.

Essentia: Natural Memory Foam Pillows and Mattresses

Essentia Organic Memory Foam

Recently I cam across a new very different memory foam manufacturer called, Essentia. I am definitely a fan of memory foam pillows and mattresses for their effect on my quality sleep for my overall health and my neck posture in particular. I have been exposed to lots of different manufacturers of memory foam pillows and mattresses like Tempur pedic pillows and Tempur pedic mattresses over the years. What caught my eye with Essentia is their slogan “World’s Only Natural Memory Foam“. Today I want to share with you more info on the Essentia memory foam history and the Essentia natural memory foam pillow and mattress product range.

Deflame Diet: How to Eat Anti-Inflammatory Foods For Pain Relief

We all realise how food choices in our diets affects our general health and well-being. Even in muscle or joint pain inflammatory conditions like gout or arthritis, diet plays a pivotal role.

This point really came home recently for me again, when after years of telling my mum about using food as a medicine and eating anti-inflammatory foods she finally saw the benefits of diet.

My mum has a right osteo-arthrtic hip joint that has been flaring up with pain the last 2-3 years. She doesn’t want hip replacement surgery so I have been trying to help her with conservative pain management options. I actually sent her to a Rheumatologist for arthritis pain-killer medication. This is when she finally tried an arthritis diet change because the Rheumatologist told her to stop sugar in her diet. My mum finally realised how pain is linked to the food we eat.

This is what I want to talk about today and the concept of the Deflame Diet by chiropractor, David Seamen. ~~I also found a free online shopping trolley that helps you choose healthier foods.~~

Inversion Table Therapy for Low Back Pain

Inversion Table Therapy Low Back Pain — An Inversion Therapy View

Maybe you have heard about inversion therapy for low back pain from a friend or know someone who swears by this type of lumbar traction. Hanging by your ankles on an inversion table is quite an appealing idea for some low back pain sufferers who feel if only someone could stretch them out to release the pressure.

Today I wanted to look a bit into inversion tables, what people have found with regards to inversion traction therapy and low back pain and some videos of people using and inversion table.

The Four Hour Body Book Review

I came across the new book by famous biohacker and author, Timothy Ferriss. The book is titled: “The Four Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman“.

Tim wrote another best seller book in the past called: “The 4-Hour Work Week: Escape the 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich“. I really liked his first book on how to change and optimise your working lifestyle setup. What I have read in his second book on how to change your health lifestyle he hasn’t disappointed me again.

I stumbled across some videos about the 4 hour body techniques. Tim explains more about his concept on how to get healthy, loss fat, solve long-term pain problems, increase fertility and more.

You can watch the videos below if you would like to understand more about the new Tim Ferris book The Four Hour Body and how Tim experimented on himself to get the results he did. It could be lifestyle changing for you.

Foot Levelers CPD Course: AECC Nov 2010

I was excited to see today that Foot Levelers are going to be doing a course at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth in November.

You may remember how I wear custom-made orthotics in my shoes everyday which are made by Foot Levelers. So knowing that Foot Levelers are finally going to be in the UK I think is great for both for UK chiropractors and their patients. If there are any chiropractors who have been thinking about adding foot scans to their clinic in assessing and helping patients then I can highly recommend the Associate Platinum scanner made by Foot Levelers and their custom made orthotics they call spinal pelvic stabilizers.

Heal Your Bulging Disc Book by Dr Ron Daulton Jnr

There are many people who are searching and reading online at this health blog for help with nerve entrapment pain. This normal comes from suffering a pinched nerve either in their neck or lower back. So I went looking myself for what is available to buy online. This is when I came across the ebook titled: “Heal Your Bulging Disc” by Dr Ron Daulton, Jnr.

Ron is a chiropractor based in the USA. Apparently, he has had many patients come into his clinic with a nerve being trapped with pain referring down their arm or leg. He decided to write a book on his experience with these types of patients who have spinal disc conditions like a herniated disc or bulging disc. From what I have read, this was so he could help those that he couldn’t physically see in his private practice.

How Safe is Your Health: Trigene Germ Disinfectant

In the UK there is a problem in the healthcare industry, particularly hospitals, with bad bugs or super bugs causing secondary hospital infection problems in patients. These germs include: bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi.

Other than super bugs in hospitals these germs are all around us in all the spaces we live in. This is our social places like homes and playgrounds and even your workplace. So what disinfectant could you use to help minimise excessive exposure to dangerous types of germs around you? I personally use a product called Trigene in the Chiropractic clinic to help disinfect all my therapy equipment. Since I think it is such a great product in todays post I just wanted to let you know all about what is Trigene and how does it work.

Chiropractic T-Shirts: Medication Side-Effects Danger

I got this photo of a Chiropractic T-shirt in a forward email today from another chiropractor looking at the cascade of prescription medication side effects. I think if you read what is on the shirt you’ll get the humorous, but serious health message on it. A medication can have side-effects, which then needs other medications to solve that problem.

Keeping things simple in life is sometimes the better option for your health, and the easiest. Unfortunately there are many people out there taking too many chronic prescription medicines.

Foot Levelers Shoe Orthotics

You may have read my post onorthotic insoles and saw I mentioned Foot Levelers Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers. Foot Levelers make a custom-made orthotic insole that can be inserted in shoes and sandals for your feet to help improve your spinal health.

Foot Levelers the company was originally started by Monte Greenawalt, a US chiropractor, over 55 years ago. So Foot Levelers have been manufacturing custom-made orthotic insoles for shoes for many years which they like to call Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers.

Why I Wear Orthotics In My Shoes

Today I want to talk about orthotic insoles for your shoes. The reason I love orthotic insoles is because I personally wear my shoe inserts everyday of my life. I was recommended to wear orthotic insoles for a chronic intermittent lower back pain I would experience from time to time since my teenage years.

To help manage the lower back pain episodes and to try keep them away I thought I needed to try and use orthotic insoles in my shoes to try help prevent another lower back pain episode. So I thought today I would tell you a little more of my personal journey in wearing orthotic insoles to help manage lower back pain.
