Quote Of The Month: “I saw a study that said speaking in front of a crowd is considered the number one fear of the average person. Number two was death. This means to the average person, if you have to be at a funeral, you would rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy.” (Jerry Seinfeld – American actor – 1954-Present) Congratulations To: To Your Health With Jourdin Hendershot: Yoga For Arthritis?
Cobra Cobra stretches the back, chest and shoulders. Start in a prone position. Place your hands next to your chest, palms down. It is important to keep the elbows pulled in toward the body. Pull your shoulders down, toward your hips. As you inhale, lift your chest off of the floor by engaging your back muscles. When you feel confident of your form in this pose, you can use some of the strength of your arms and hands to push up. (To test your form, lift your hands an inch off of the floor. This gives you awareness of your back muscles). Hold your position for five to seven breaths, then release. Mushtika Bandhana (Hand Clenching) This yoga pose is useful mainly for arthritis of the hand and wrist. Women are generally more prone to osteoarthritis and it occurs mainly in the early part of menopause. The Hand Clenching pose, as the name denotes, provides the primary benefit of developing or restoring grip of the hand and strengthening the joints in the hand. To do the Hand Clenching pose, sit comfortably on a chair so that your back is erect. Put your arms straight out in front of you, at shoulder level and parallel to the ground. With your thumbs pointed up make a fist. As you inhale, open your hand and stretch all the five fingers. As you exhale, make your fist again. Repeat this process for 8 – 10 reps.

Boil halved potatoes for 5 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl. Cool for 10 minutes. Cut the steak into large chunky squares, about 2½ inches each. Place the steak, onion, Olive oil and all seasonings in the large bowl with the cooled potatoes. Toss to mix and coat. Tear off 4 pieces of aluminum foil, about 12x12 inches each. Evenly divide the steak and potato mixture in the middle of each foil. Place 2 cubes of butter on top. Fold the foil over the steak and potatoes and seal so that the packets won‘t leak. Cook packets on a hot grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or you can bake them in a 425 degree oven on a cookie sheet for about 15 minutes. Use caution when opening the hot packets to serve. Hot steam will escape! Always serve on a plate. Enjoy! And remember, if it looks and smells good, eat it!!

Crazy, Zany Facts We Bet You Didn´t Know
Dental Talk - A Member Blog Forum:
These are just a few of the topics. Our blog site contains many other interesting topics. Please join us!! Questions From Our MembersA. Roberts of Dallas, Texas asks:“ Is it better to go to a privately owned practice with one doctor versus a “clinic” with multiple doctors? ” Savon’s AnswerThe answer to this question lies solely on personal preference. Whether a facility has one doctor or one hundred doctors shows no reflection on the doctors‘ credentials or capabilities.Privately owned practices with only one or two providers are ideal for those who prefer to see the same doctor on every visit. Larger practices with multiple providers, or “clinics,” if you will, are beneficial for those who have a multitude of dental problems that may require the skills of more than one doctor. Another consideration is that the ‘clinics” usually have on–site specialists and that can be convenient if you need to see one as opposed to being referred by a private practice and waiting a period of time to see one. Tooth Talk With Tommy The Wisdom Tooth Half Of Oral Care Products Contain AllergensA direct reprint of an article by Melissa Busch of DrBicuspid.com
Possible food allergens were found in about 46% (179 items) of oral care products. Most of the products (81%) contained one food allergen, the authors wrote. Allergens were common in outpatient and dental office products. In dental office products, the highest prevalence of allergens was found in fluoride varnishes, alginates, toothpastes, topical creams, and gloves. In outpatient products, allergens were predominant in toothpaste, chewing gum, and orthodontic waxes. Most frequently, the food allergens were fruits and spices, they wrote. The authors did not disclose any study limitations. Knowing the ingredients of oral care products, as well as their adaptation to patients‘ pathophysiological conditions, are necessary for safe, effective treatment, the authors wrote. “The presence of food allergens as excipients was common in both outpatient and dental office products,” Figueiredo and colleagues wrote.
