5 best exercises for a bad back







Cardio

Walk, swim or cycle. If you’re in the gym, opt for a bike which has back support, and if you’re swimming avoid any strokes that twist your body.

Pilates

Pilates works the deeper muscles in the body helping to strengthen your back. For those who suffer from chronic back pain or who are recovering from surgery and have finished with physiotherapy, Pilates is an excellent way to keep improving your back strength focusing on just a few selected movements and working a little at a time. A short session performed often can make a huge difference.

Wall sits

Start by standing 10 to 12 inches from the wall, then lean back until your back is flat against it. Slowly slide down until your knees are slightly bent, pressing your lower back into the wall. Hold for a count of 10, then carefully slide back up the wall. Repeat 8 to 12 times.

Secrets for great sleep






1. Avoid weekend lie-ins. As tempting as snoozing in bed until 11am on a Sunday morning can be, they could actually not be doing you any favours. Your body can’t ‘store’ sleep, so if you’re trying to make up for a late night in the week, unfortunately it won’t benefit. Plus, it only serves to confuse your body clock and disrupt sleep patterns further, meaning your 6.30am weekday alarm will be even more torturous.

2. Set aside half an hour in the evening. Spend this time dealing with your worries and to-do list. Write them down in a journal or on a piece of paper, then set them aside before bed to ensure they’re not going round in your head and preventing you from nodding off.

3. Cut out noise. Live next to a busy road, have a partner who just can’t quit snoring or even just an annoyingly loud ticking clock? All of these can affect your sleep, so banish these sounds and sleep in peace by wearing earplugs.

4. Buy the biggest bed you can afford. Whether you’re single or sleep alongside your partner, the more space, the better. This will allow your body to move about without getting smacked by flailing arms or fear of falling out of the bed. And don’t forget to replace your mattress every 8-10 years to avoid old springs causing backaches and pains, and also for hygiene reasons – there’s a lot of dust mites and dead skin gathering in there that you can’t even see.

Food Services Company Aramark Promises Healthier Meals





U.S. food services giant Aramark says it will develop healthier meals for its clients.

The Philadelphia-based company serves 2 billion meals a year in schools, hospitals, universities, businesses, sports venues and other settings, the Associated Press reported.

Aramark is working with the American Heart Association to reduce fat and salt in its meals by 20 percent by 2020, and said it will increase the amount of fruits, vegetables and whole grains by the same amount.

The amount of produce the company buys is expected to rise from 200 million pounds to 240 million pounds a year, the AP reported.

Mark Zuckerberg announces wife's pregnancy on Facebook








While many may be faintly annoyed by the over-sharing of distant acquaintances' baby announcements on Facebook, one couple certainly had the right to the social media attention.

Mark Zuckerberg shared the news that his wife of three years, Priscilla Chan, is expecting a girl. Zuckerberg posted this exciting development on his Facebook page to over 33 million followers.

How to survive a rip current




Practice safe swimming

You should always swim in an area with lifeguards. Patrolled areas post surf hazard warning flags or rip current educational signs so swimmers know about surf conditions and rip current activity. In addition, NOAA's National Weather Service issues surf zone forecasts to help lifeguards and local officials determine if the water is safe for swimming.

The U.S. Swim Schools Association urges parents to review rip current safety measures with their children and introduce kids to the lifeguard in the area before they go into the water.

"It's always good to check in with the lifeguard when you arrive at the beach," Gill said. "If you see red flags flying, check in and see what the restrictions are."
