Wellness.com - Sprained ankles... by Neil

We've all heard of the famous R.I.C.E. theory when dealing with sprained ankles or kankles. Does anyone have any other helpful hints for treating a mild to severe ankle?

Wellness.com - Falling Back...Moving Forward by Neil

I decided on Saturday that I was going to take advantage of the free hour we received when we moved our clocks back. Instead of just doing the usual and sleeping one more hour... I'm going to trick myself and keep getting up each day at the "same time" as if I didn't turn my clock back. . So now instead of getting up at 7, I get up at 6 which is the "old seven." Since my work schedule demands I be there at the "new 8" and I get up at the "old 7" I have an extra hour every day to go to the gym! Sometimes little things like this confuse you enough so you can't talk yourself out of getting up and going to the gym or doing something you really don't want to do. I know some of you will recommend I go see a Shrink during that extra hour but I'm just sharing a crazy idea I had that has worked and got my butt to the gym again.

Californians need help

Wellness.com - Californians need help by Neil

Out here in San Diego we have been inhaling smoke for several days and will probably be breathing filthy air for a week or 2 before things get better. Does anyone have any suggestions or things we can do to help clear out our lungs and detox?

Also help me out with this one. There is smoke in the air as far as the eye can see. Ash is falling from the sky. Schools are closed. Businesses are closed. People are being told to stay indoors and avoid physical activity. The air quality in some places could not get any worse yet there are still people out jogging!! What the heck are those people thinking? Do they not realize the irreversible harm they may be doing to their lungs? Are they just oblivious? Maybe they don't have a tv or a radio. Perhaps they are training for the coal miners marathon. Here's what I think. They are just morons. Complete idiots. Please someone enlighten me or help knock some sense into these people.
