It
is a national moral disgrace that there are 14.7 million poor children
and 6.5 million extremely poor children in the United States of America -
the world's largest economy. It is also unnecessary, costly and the
greatest threat to our future national, economic and military security.
Exercises To Relieve Your Back Pai
Exercises To Relieve Your Back Pain
Many people suffer from back pain. In fact, it is sometimes hard to
bear. It is common for many people to have upper back pain, as well as
lower back problems, which can be excruciating lasting for weeks.
Certain therapeutic exercises can be used to treat back pain in an
effective manner. If you have pain while doing your exercises, stop
doing them; call your doctor if this occurs and he or she will be able
to tell you what to modify if the problems continue.
Locating stability within the routines that you do for your back
exercises is very important. You can actually injure your back by doing
too much exercise, or not enough exercise. Either way, you may injure
yourself. Choosing exercises that will fortify your back is the best way
to avoid straining it to begin with. Back pain can sometimes be so
traumatic that exercising is actually not a good idea. Weight lifting
exercises such as squats, standing military press or standing biceps
curls should either be avoided or done with light weights. Stay away
from exercises to keep your legs straight such as straight leg situps or
any type of calisthenics. These will, of course, strain your back
unnecessarily. Water exercises have somewhat of a restorative power for
your back. Swimming is a great option for treating back issues in a low
impact way, but if your back is too sore, you could begin with some mild
exercises in the water instead. Some of the identical movements you may
use when you are in the pool that are refreshing; can be the same ones
that may have injured you if you were not in the pool. You may be able
to find water therapy classes in your area, and this is something that
can help your back stay healthy. Swimming is one of the best ways to
fortify your spine; if you swim well and are feeling able you ought to
take it up.
A great way to exercise your back is to use what is called an "exercise ball". You should have one of these at your house to use regularly, and you can also join a gym. Make sure you get one that's made for your height; if you order one, there will be guidelines to follow to choose the right size. You use these balls to stretch your back and you also align it if it is out of place. You may also want to sit on your exercise ball instead of a chair, as this can help you maintain a better posture. You don't have to do this all the time, but sitting on your exercise ball at regular intervals, along with stretching on it, can help reduce your back pain. The above exercises for back pain are just a few of your options for relieving your pain and strengthening your spine. You should never force any stretching that causes discomfort to you and if you have had medical problems with your back in the past, you need to see your doctor for advice. The more you exercise in a sensible way, however, the more you'll be able to stop back pain from recurring.

Invest $600 Million In Our Community: Support the HEAL Act
The
Illinois African American Coalition for Prevention (ILAACP) would like
to announce its support for the Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Act
[SB 1584 and HB 2667]. The ILAACP was pleased to see the act re-introduced during the Illinois General Assembly on February 19, 2015.
Sen. Mattie Hunter (D- 3rd
District) and Rep. Robyn Gabel (D- 18th District) introduced the Healthy
Eating Active Living (HEAL) Act [SB 1584 and HB 2667] to provide tools
and resources for Illinois families to live healthier lives. The bill is
expected to generate more than $600 million dollars a year for
investment in communities across the state through a small tax on sugary
drink distributors. Sugary drinks are the number one source of added
sugar in the American diet and have unique and proven health hazards.
“This is an important piece of
legislation for the health of Illinois communities, especially those
most devastated by sky-high rates of chronic diseases like type 2
diabetes and heart disease,” Sen. Hunter

Sen. Mattie Hunter (D- 3rd District) and Rep. Robyn Gabel (D- 18th District)
introduced
the Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Act [SB 1584 and HB 2667] to
provide tools and resources for Illinois families to live healthier
lives. The bill is expected to generate more than $600 million dollars a
year for investment in communities across the state through a small tax

of added sugar in the American diet and have unique and proven health
hazards.
“This is an important piece of
legislation for the health of Illinois communities, especially those
most devastated by sky-high rates of chronic diseases like type 2
diabetes and heart disease,” Sen. Hunter said. “African Americans have
the highest heart disease mortality rates in the state and Latinos are
twice as likely to develop diabetes as Caucasian Americans. Across
Illinois, low- income communities of all types face great barriers to
being healthy. The HEAL Act provides communities with tools that help
children and families live healthier lives by increasing access to more
affordable fruits and vegetables, creating safe and accessible
opportunities for physical activity and implementing other
evidence-based measures to promote health.”
The
HEAL Act places a penny-per-ounce excise tax on high-sugar beverages
(those with more than 5 grams of sugar per 12 ounces) and uses the
revenues to invest in expanded opportunities for healthy eating and
physical activity. This includes more nutrition and physical education
in schools, more affordable and accessible foods at farmers markets, and
more bike lanes and sidewalks for residents to be active. “Obesity and
chronic disease prevention requires a multi-pronged approach, so we are
excited to support the HEAL Act as an opportunity to invest in the
interventions we know work in communities,” said Elissa Bassler, CEO of
the Illinois Public Health Institute and executive director of the
Illinois Alliance to Prevent Obesity.
“This bill also helps expand
prevention services in Medicaid,” said Rep. Gabel said. “Obesity-related
health care costs Illinois taxpayers more than $6 billion a year. This
legislation will help prevent those costly chronic conditions and reduce
the economic drag they cause, while also improving the quality of life
for Illinois families.”
“A
small tax on sugary drinks raises awareness of their harmful effects.
It sends a strong message that sugary drinks are not healthful beverage
choices. Furthermore, the money raised will be re-invested in Illinois
communities in programs to prevent diabetes and heart disease,” said Dr.
Goutham Rao, Chair of the American Heart Association’s Obesity
Committee and Vice Chair of Family Medicine at NorthShore University
Health System.
The
next step is for the bill to be considered by committees in the
Illinois House of Representatives and Senate. The bill is supported by
more than 25 organizations, including the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, and the Illinois African American Coalition for Prevention. A full list of supporters can be found on the proposal fact sheet.
More information about the HEAL Act is available via fact sheets on the Illinois Alliance to Prevent Obesity’s website-www.preventobesityil.org. More information about the health impact of sugary beverages can be found at http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/sugary-drinks-fact-sheet/.
How can you help? Ask Illinois legislators to co-sponsor the bill.
Your support for initiatives
like the Healthy Eating Active Living Act helps us actualize our vision
of safe, healthy and resilient African American children, families, and
communities.
In service,
