Three Things Needed To Beat Obesity

On January 4, 2012 The AZ Republic published an article by Alison Stanton entitled, “Obesity: A Weighty Problem. The article included a variety of items from why people become obese to surgical options. A list of lifestyle tips discussed nutrition and exercise. The list did not include mind and spirit.

We are more than a body. We are also mind and spirit. Unless all three are addressed, “Obesity will continue to be a large problem.”  

It’s not just about what you eat. It also about what you think and feel.

What Should Off-Season Workouts Include?

Physical Training
In his article, "Rigorous off-season workouts await," Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic <http://www.usatoday.com/USCP/PNI/SPORTS/2012-01-05-PNI0105spt-cardsART_ST_U.htm> reports on John Lott's, the strength and conditioning coach for the NFL Arizona Cardinals, no nonsense approach to getting the Arizona Cardinals into playing form.

Mental Training
What if mental training was undertaken in the off-season as rigorously as the physical? Would there be fewer mental errors? Since the mental part of the game is so important, why don't players undertake mental training and coaches insist on it?

Concussion Susceptibility and Exciting New Treatment

Does A Concussion Make You More Susceptible To Another? That depends who you talk to.

Players with a history of concussions were six times morel likely to sustain a future concussion than those with no previous head injuries, according to authors Linda Carroll and David Rosner, "The Concussion Crisis: Anatomy of a Silent Epidemic" (p. 25-6). Even more disturbing were the studies showing scores on tests of memory and mental agility dropped when athletes sustained multiple concussions. The more concussions a player sustained, the more vulnerable he was to another one. What’s more, multiple concussions led to longer recovery time.

In a recent a recent article, "Kolb likely out for finale" by Kent Somers, Arizona Republic, 12/29/11, <http://www.usatoday.com/USCP/PNI/SPORTS/2011-12-29-PNI1229spt-cardsPNIBrd_ST_U.htm> Head coach Kent "Whisenhunt said that there isn't greater concern that Kolb could be more susceptible to more concussions."

"I don't think there are any kind of studies or anything that says that's the case," he said. "I personally haven't. I don't know that we have, and I don't think there is any information that would be the case."

Also in the article Kolb said a neurologist assured him there should be no long-term effects from this concussion. If this was Kolb's first concussion and he heals properly that could be the case. However, if he had prior concussions or "dings" that assessment is probably incorrect.

What do you think?

New way of treating concussions?

Besides rest and Tylenol there may be another method.
