			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Kettlebell</strong> training was first popularized in the USSR, which used this sort of training for many of its athletes and military professionals. It involves the use of a metal ball with a handle. Kettlebells come in weights ranging anywhere from 4 pounds to over 100 pounds. One exercise you can try using these weights with is the <strong>kettlebell sumo squat</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To perform a kettlebell sumo squat, start with your legs spread out wider than your shoulders. Your toes should be pointed out from your body, and you should be holding the kettlebell with two hands with your palms facing your body. Keep your head up and lean a little bit forward while you lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Keep your back straight and your heels on the ground throughout the entire exercise and keep your pace slow.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kettlebell squats have similar benefits to other types of squats because they involve a similar motion. These squats help improve both the mobility</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-6618"></span>and the strength of your lower back, hips and legs. Using the kettlebell weights allows you to increase the amount of weight put on these muscles to increase their strength further than would be possible using body weight alone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kettlebells are more unstable than regular weights, and they allow you to use momentum. When using these weights, you can sometimes activate muscles more deeply, as you have a larger range of motion, notes an article on the EMS World website. This can help you better prepare for real world situations, where you often have to lift unstable weights.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Only people who are experienced at lifting weights should try exercises using kettlebells, as doing exercises with improper form can easily result in injuries. Start out with a lighter weight until you are proficient at the exercise and make sure you aren&#8217;t performing the exercise with weights that are too heavy. If you do not have full range of motion or have difficulties with your balance or flexibility, you should not use kettlebells.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the biggest thrills of <strong>pregnancy</strong> is feeling your baby move &#8212; at least until the kicks start keeping you awake at night. While obese moms run a higher risk of numerous complications in pregnancy, there&#8217;s no scientific proof that you will feel fetal movement later or less strongly than thinner moms if you&#8217;re obese. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about the amount of fetal movement your feel or if fetal movements decrease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most women start to feel fetal movement between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, when the fetus becomes large enough and strong enough to start bumping into the uterine walls. Early fetal movement feels more like gas bubbles than kicks; first-time moms may miss these early movement altogether, while experienced moms may recognize them at an earlier stage. Some women don&#8217;t feel movement until around 25 weeks of pregnancy. The position of the placenta may make a difference. An anterior placenta, which grows on the abdominal part of the uterus, may absorb some of the kicks so that you feel less movement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-6615"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s a commonly held belief that overweight or obese women feel less fetal movement than women of normal weight. While an obese women may feel less fetal movement externally, when she holds her hands over her abdomen, she can still feel fetal movement on the inside of the uterus. External fetal monitoring, including hearing the fetal heartbeat in the early stages of pregnancy, may be more difficult in obese women.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Few studies have been done on fetal movement in obese women. One British study published in the 1979 &#8220;British Medical Journal&#8221; found no correlation between maternal weight and the perception of fetal movement. This study also found no correlation between the number of pregnancies or the position of the placenta. The study was small, however, including just 20 women. An Australian article published in the July 2009 issue of the &#8220;Obstetrical and Gynecological Survey&#8221; noted that the evidence for whether these factors affect discernment of fetal movement is lacking. Another &#8220;British Medical Journal&#8221; report published in December 2006 stated that obese women may feel less fetal movement but offered no data to substantiate this claim.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some babies move more than others, even in the womb. It&#8217;s important to recognize a change from your baby&#8217;s normal patterns. Obese women have a higher incidence of stillbirth, twice that of normal-weight women, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study published in the September 2007 &#8220;American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.&#8221; Decreased fetal movement can indicate fetal distress. If you notice a change in your baby&#8217;s normal activity, let your doctor know immediately. He can order fetal testing to determine your baby&#8217;s well-being. Many doctors recommend keeping a kick chart after the 28th week of pregnancy. To do this, lie on your side and record how long it takes to feel 10 kicks. You should feel 10 kicks within two hours. If you don&#8217;t, check again later in the day. If you still don&#8217;t feel 10 movements in two hours, let your doctor know, the American Pregnancy Association advises.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://health-and-living.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/18.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6613" title="" src="http://health-and-living.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/18.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="298" /></a>Neck pain</strong> causes great discomfort, so it is tempting to avoid exercise when in pain, taking time away from your <a href="http://health-and-living.com/category/fitness/"target="_blank"rel="external"title="Fitness" >fitness</a> goals. However, you can remain active even with a sore neck. The best <strong>elliptical cardio</strong> for you is going to depend on the cause of your neck pain and your comfort while using a given machine. Discuss your injury and exercise plans with your doctor before choosing the best elliptical cardio for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Broadly speaking, neck pain refers to pain that occurs in any of the structures within your neck. This might result in stiffness, causing you difficulty in moving your head from side to side or up and down. Neck pain has a variety of causes, however, it is most commonly a result of tension or muscle strain. Daily activities, such as poor posture, sleeping position and computer use, all place strain on the neck. Traumatic injury or other medical conditions, such as cancer or fibromyalgia, may also result in neck pain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Elliptical cardio machines come in a variety of designs, sold in both home- and gym-quality models. The elliptical machine is a stationary cardio machine with suspended pedals that are propelled in the shape of an ellipse, simulating the movement of walking or running. There are many models of elliptical machines, some incorporating an upper body movement using arm levers that push and pull similar to skiing. Other models use only the legs, with stationary bars on which to place your arms.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-6612"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This machine allows the user to maintain an upright posture, making it an excellent choice if your injured neck feels best when you are in an upright position, facing forward. The design of the elliptical places a very low level of stress on your spine, making it an excellent option for those with tender necks. An elliptical machine is also designed to not make impact with the floor, maintaining an elliptical motion that does not jar the body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Typically, models designed for home use are a bit more compact than the gym alternative. This may alter the length of the stride, making it more or less comfortable for you personally. As each person&#8217;s stride varies, it is best to either select a machine that allows for adjustments, or try numerous machines to find the one that feels best on your neck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">To manage your <strong><a href="http://health-and-living.com/category/diabetes/"target="_blank"rel="external"title="Diabetes" >diabetes</a></strong> properly, you must be extremely careful about which foods you eat and medications and dietary supplements you take. Diabetes is a serious medical condition causing high levels of glucose, a sugar, to circulate in your bloodstream. With diabetes, glucose cannot get into your cells to be used for energy. Treatment of type 2 diabetes, formerly called non-insulin dependent diabetes, relies on oral diabetic medications, such as metformin, to lower blood glucose levels. Licorice is a popular herbal supplement used by herbalists and naturopathic physicians for a variety of medical conditions, including diabetes. However, licorice can cause side effects which affect your diabetes medications, so take it only under direct supervision of your physician.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Metformin</strong> is an oral medication used to control blood sugar levels by decreasing the amount of glucose manufactured by your liver and obtained from the foods in your diet. Although it may be used in combination with insulin for type 2 diabetics, it is never used to treat type 1 diabetes. Metformin is used along with diet and exercise to reduce your blood glucose levels. It is also used in combination with other diabetes medications,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-6610"></span>such as rosiglitazone. On its own, the side effects associated with metformin include bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn and changes to your nails.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Licorice</strong> is an ancient herb that has been used for thousands of years as an herbal medicine and as a sweet flavoring for foods. Licorice is most commonly used to treat coughs, colds, asthma, peptic ulcers, and is used topically for canker sores and eczema. Licorice contains glycyrrhiza, or glycyrrhizic acid, the substance responsible for many of its properties, but also the source of its side effects. A 2010 laboratory study published in &#8220;Lipids in Health and Disease&#8221; found glycyrrhizic acid reduced blood glucose levels by improving insulin sensitivity. The side effects of licorice containing glycyrrhizin include high blood, pressure, fatigue, headache and an increased risk of heart attack.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Licorice containing glycyrrhizin may interact with metformin and other diabetes medications, including insulin, glipizide, rosiglitazone, troglitazone, pioglitazone and glyburide. The glucose-lowering effects of licorice combined with metformin can act to lower your blood sugar levels too much, resulting in a condition called hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include dizziness, lightheadedness, tremors, irritability, headache, weakness, pale skin and sweating. Take licorice supplements with metformin only as directed by your doctor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along with raising your blood glucose levels, diabetes also affects your heart and other organs. Over time, consistently high blood sugar levels can damage your heart and blood vessels, leading to an increased risk of developing high blood pressure. Using metformin and licorice containing glycyrrhizin can decrease your potassium levels and increase your retention of sodium, which can negatively impact your heart and raise your blood pressure. If you are diabetic and being treated for high blood with diuretics, licorice and metformin can increase their action, causing hypokalemia, or low potassium levels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people today feel pressed for time. Between kids, family, work, friends and other obligations we seldom have time to ourselves. The key is to get fast <strong>car insurance</strong> quotes online.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Arizona is located in the southwestern region of America its capital and largest city is Phoenix. Almost every state in America requires car insurance and Arizona is one of those states. Car insurance is important for it helps the insured cover for the damage and losses when unexpected accidents occur on the road.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">There are many benefits to obtaining <strong>senior life insurance</strong>. The policy allows family members to have money to cover burial costs and also to pay off any outstanding debts that are left once the senior passes away. In addition, some senior’s policies allow for a savings component that can be borrowed against.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are several different types of policies available:</p>
<ul>
<li>Term Life</li>
<li>Whole Life</li>
<li>Single-Pay</li>
<li>Guaranteed Acceptance</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These are the two basic types of policies. The other two: single-pay and guaranteed acceptance, are really options that are particular to senior life insurance. A single-pay policy is one that has only one premium payment. It is for people that have accumulated a sufficient amount of wealth and can afford to make the one off payment. The benefit to this type of policy is that the value can increase rapidly in a short amount of time. In</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-6605"></span>addition, the policy can be set up in such a way that the death benefits to the beneficiaries are tax free.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Guaranteed acceptance life insurance means that the person can buy the policy without needing to have a medical exam. Death benefits are limited if the policy holder dies within a few years of the policy being taken out. After the initial waiting period, the beneficiaries will receive full benefits. In the case of an accidental death, the full benefits are paid regardless of the time that has elapsed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Term life is best for seniors who are on a fixed income and view the insurance as a way to provide financial security to their family, as opposed to an investment option for them. Term policies are taken out for a fixed number of years. Whole life policies, alternatively, are taken out for the life of the purchaser. With today’s lifestyle and better medical care, people are living longer and longer. A whole life policy protects the person so that they do not out live the term of the contract.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They should then consider how much of this amount will disappear upon their death. The difference between what is left and what is necessary is the amount of basic coverage that is required. A person should also consider any one-off expenses, such as funeral fees and estate administration fees, which would be associated with their death. These levels should then be added to the amount above so that the correct coverage can be determined.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Commercial truck insurance</strong> is different from normal private insurance for small passenger vehicles. It is often insured with a “Stated Amount” basis for physical damage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When insurers are deciding how to determine a policy for private vehicles they take into account the original cost of the car and its age because these types of vehicles depreciate at a fairly standard rate from the moment they are driven off the lot and it is easy to predict and calculate their value.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Large trucks, on the other hand, are actually designed to outlive their engines. They are created to withstand brutal punishment from every day use, so they need the best, most secure parts. Hauling trucks that travel hundreds of thousands of miles each year are expected to have their engines replaced on a semi-regular basis. As an example, a 5-year-old dump truck with a brand new engine would be worth considerably more than a 5-year-old dump truck with its original engine, but the same can’t be said about a min-van or convertible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-6602"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because commercial truck insurance is more difficult to calculate for heavy trucks and does not require simple equations involving original value and age, truck insurance businesses have developed a unique method called “Stated Amount.” Stated Amount is used for providing physical damage protection and choosing a premium.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here’s how it works: the person getting insured states the maximum value of his or her truck, and the premium is a percentage of that stated amount. When the deductible increases, the percentage goes down.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Typically, the older vehicles that are worth less pay a higher premium percentage because major physical damage could wreck that truck, whereas it would only do slight damage to a newer truck.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One important thing to note is that Stated Value must be determined in advance by the owners and gets reevaluated with each renewal of a commercial truck insurance policy. If the owner’s claim is significantly varied from the insurance company’s evaluation, then additional justification may be necessary so that an accident does not cause huge claims losses on either side.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The advantage of Stated Amount is that it puts an automatic cap on the amount paid out, makes negotiations easier, and makes comparing quotes and percentages easier for the vehicle owner.</p>
