Kids need to develop in a balanced way so that they are able to deal with all the challenges and demands that life will later put on their shoulders.

Learning should be encouraged in a wide a field as possible in this regard and sports provide one of the most versatile and dynamic platforms for this to happen. The misconception that reigns in some places that sports participation in children should be restricted is one that causes a lot damage to the way they grow up.

Sports as a field contains a lot of activities especially for the kids that if applied in the right way will allow kids to learn valuable lessons about life. It is not uncommon for kids to extend the discipline, creativity, hard work and team building skills attained in engaging in sports activities to other areas of their lives such as school work.

The thing is, sports especially at children's level is carried out in a simple way in a friendly and healthy environment that allows kids to let themselves go and come out of their small cocoons to discover what lies in the outside world.

The simplicity of sports does not, however Michael Bradley Jersey , compromise its ability to provide the necessary learning and development necessary for balanced growth. It is indeed this same simplicity that causes the lessons learnt to stick into the kids psyches to be used later on in life. How important therefore that the lessons adopted through sports be positive ones rather than negative ones. The ball is now therefore firmly set in the courts of parents, teachers and guardians of children to recognize the awesome potential of sports in developing children to be upstanding members of the world community.
Inflammation is a common factor in most every disease that afflicts us. Yes, cancer is considered inflammatory as well as allergies, arthritis, alzheimers, diabetes, colitis Clint Dempsey Jersey , heart disease, infections, vaginitis, etc, etc, etc. Problems really begin to surface when the inflammation becomes chronic, in other words Geoff Cameron Jersey , constant.

I actually experienced chronic inflammation first hand a few years ago. I had been suffering from severe ankle pain which I was told by the mainstream medical community was arthritis. I was in my early 50s and couldnt believe that I had arthritis. The thought of having to take anti-inflammatory medicine and pain killers for the rest of my life wasnt something I was looking forward to. Heck, the way I was feeling, I would be wheel chair bound by the time I was 60 so my future was looking rather bleak. As my doctor told me welcome to old age, I knew at that moment that aging for me was not going to be taken lightly.

Being the bull-headed detective that I am, I went on my usual quest for answers. That is when I discovered Caroline Sutherland, best selling author of the book The Body Knows. It was Caroline who diagnosed me with my allergy to wheat. It was at that point in my life that I also realized how much trouble I was really in and it didnt have anything to do with arthritis.

Thats right. My arthritic problem had nothing to do with aging as I was led to believe and everything to do with a wheat allergy. Can you imagine the disbelief when I woke up three days after ceasing my consumption of wheat, pain free. I was shocked and yes Fabian Johnson Jersey , I knew I was in really big trouble because I knew at that point that my days of dealing with mainstream medicine in the United States of America were over.

It turns out that inflammation is our bodys response to injury. I wondered how wheat could be injurious to my system. It didnt make any sense. I later learned that it is the good old American diet that causes most of the inflammation because wheat (in my case) is used as a filler in so many products that my system became overloaded. Wheat is so processed that the nutritional content of the wheat I was consuming was null and void, zero, zip, zilch, non-existent. The wheat I was consuming was slowly killing me.

Oh sure, I can become inflamed if I am stung by a bee but that is short lived. The chronic inflammation that I was learning about that was causing my arthritis was the result of the American diet that is full of processed sugar and white flour and severely lacking in nutrient rich foods. You know the ones I am referring to, those refined carbohydrates that everyone tries to sell you no matter where you turn.

Boy did I get an education. I found out that those refined carbs are poisonous to our systems and have an inflammatory effect on our body. I was stunned to find out that Americans consume more than 160 pounds of sugar a year and approximately 200 pounds of white flour a year. Can you imagine that. OMG Omar Gonzalez Jersey , this was big. Turns out
