Virtual Reality Gaming: Putting The Fun Back In Fitness

By sophie Holy


Some people call it virtual reality gaming, others call it immersive fitness – no matter what you call it, people are turning to a world of visuals, scent, and sound in order to exercise. Virtual reality has long been used for entertainment and training situations, but now savvy nerds and gym buffs alike are turning to the tech world to tone their physique. Harnessing the allure of virtual reality gaming and the fun quality of online games, immersive fitness makes getting fit a whole lot of fun. 

Take a “Trip” In Los Angeles

Immersive fitness has been taking over Los Angeles, with a CNN reporter recently visiting a location of 24 Hour Fitness in Santa Monica to witness a spinning class entitled "The Trip." 

This class really does seem to be a ‘trip,’ as advocates claim that it allows them to really get into the action and feel like they are peddling through some of the world’s most scenic routes. 

Kriz Crane, a local Angelino, loves the concept, saying that "you're out of reality and you're in this other little land … the fact that it has the screen makes you forget how hard you're working."

In the “The Trip” fitness class, artificial intelligence is blended with a multimedia sensory experience in order to encourage their attendance and get them pumped. 

Videos are shown on floor-to-ceiling 3-D screens, and music blares out of the speakers. Artificial intelligence helps the system to assess each individual, helping the machine to cater to everyone’s unique stamina, speed, and body movements. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a method of computer based learning that gains information from the ways in which you interact with the software. The AI systems analyzes the data and then amalgamates it into what it has already learned. This enables the AI to learn and grow. A good example is vocal recognition. Every time the AI scans a new voice, it learn even more about vocal features, tone and pitch, and then uses this new information to scan voices in a more complex way. 

 

Virtual Reality and Yoga?

There are also some yoga classes around the USA that have started to offer an immersive fitness experience. New York City’s Woom Center surrounds its yoga students with massive screens, and a soundtrack that helps transport them to the hills of the Himalayas. A carefully selected palette of colours helps practitioners feel like they are truly at peace with themselves and the planet. 

Artificial Intelligence Helps Everyone Get in on the Action – and get in shape

Immersive fitness classes help users to get excited and involved in their own physical fitness because when they move, the artificial world around them moves in response. Proponents of these immersive fitness classes and gyms think that virtual reality (VR) enabled exercise equipment will be the norm soon, and will be up and running around the country in the next couple of years.  

 

Can you engage in virtual reality gaming exercise in your own home?

 

With the success of virtual reality exercise classes in gyms across the country, many avid fitness buffs are wondering if they will soon be able to access the same programs in their own home.

The answer is yes, but you will need to satisfy a few conditions before you get started. First, you need to have a large enough space in your home in which to set up a VR station, usually at least 6 square feet. Then, you need to sink some cash into some VR headsets, with prices ranging between $350 to $800 (at the present time). 

Finally, you need to ensure that your PC or laptop can handle a very high frame rate. Some of the VR headsets on the market come with a few games already loaded, but you will need to select some that have fitness as their main goal. 

 

Recent studies have shown that some of these games can actually get your heart rate thrumming and give you a good cardio workout. While they may not be as effective as a custom built studio filled with VR connected exercise bikes (a ‘la ‘The Trip’), you should still be able to work towards your fitness goals in the comfort of your own home. 

What’s next?

Now that it seems that the future of fitness is here, what is next on the horizon? Do you think that VR and AI will merge even further in the personal fitness realm, and if so, how? Join the conversation on social media, or leave your comments below.

Quick and Easy Exercises for a Tighter Butt

By sophie Holy

From the fashionable Brazilian squat challenge to simple but oh-so-effective lunges, getting that perfect tush for summer is a priority. But if you, like me, don’t have so much time to hit the gym and are trying to fit exercise in around your busy schedule, here are some helpful and quick exercises for your glutes that can tone your butt in no time. Warning! Minimal effort still required.

Top 5 Exercises for Glutes

Keeping your backside in top shape not only helps those jeans fit better, it also serves as a great posture booster and can help you avoid and reduce the effects of sciatica and lower back pain.

This workout should take no more than 15 minutes of your time, but it’s essential to be consistent and try to complete it every day or even twice if you’re feeling extra energetic.

Squats

A true classic for working those glutes. Squats target the legs, buttocks, lower back, core muscles and more, but to get the full benefit you need to make sure you’re doing them right.

Start with some simple standard squats. To do these, stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and toes facing forward. Squat down and lower your body as if you were trying to sit in an invisible chair. Your knees should be over your toes. Hold for one to two seconds and then slowly rise.

Next up are wide squats, aka Sumo squats. Similar to the classic variety in terms of movement – get in position, sit down as if into a low chair, and rise slowly – the difference lies in how you start. To begin, spread your legs reasonably widely apart. In the final position, you should look like a Sumo wrestler getting ready for a match.

Finally, time to try a narrow squat. Also known as the Chair Position, the narrow squat involves doing the exercise while keeping your legs quite close together. As you stand in the position, try to sit down on the imaginary chair gracefully, before rising back up.

Repeat each of these ten times. Increase the reps each day.

Bridges

This one not only tightens the muscles of your buttocks but also works those thighs and lower back muscles too. The bridge is a simple position, but highly effective, especially for those suffering from sciatica.

Lie on your back on your yoga mat with your knees up. Feet and hips should be flat on the floor at this point. Next, raise your buttocks and hips upward. You should feel the stretch. Hold for five seconds and then lower yourself back down. Repeat between five to ten times. You can choose to increase the number of reps or how long you hold as you become used to the exercise.

Lunges

Nothing is comparable to a simple lunge; it works your core, hips, hamstrings, quads, and, of course, those glutes. The most important element – balance.

Lunging is not as straightforward as putting one foot in front of the other and kneeling down. It involves careful posture to make sure you don’t sprain those tendons.

To do the perfect lunge, start with a hip-width apart stance. Next, take one foot and step it forward – not too close, not too far. As you do, your knee should be directly over your foot, and the second leg should be close to the ground.

Aim for ten squats on each side to begin with and increase over time.

Single leg squat

Also known as the pistol squat, the single leg squat involves balance and dedication to get right.

Start off by standing with your feet parallel to your hips. Next, raise one leg and hold it out straight in front of you. Depending on your experience, this might be parallel to your knee or your ankle; either is ok.

Next balance on the remaining leg and use it to squat down as if you were sitting. At first you might only be able to lower your body a couple of inches, but over time you’ll see the balance and butt benefits.

Try to do just three squats on each leg to start, as you perfect your stance; you can increase this amount.

Step-up

There are considerable benefits to taking the stairs: you work muscles you usually never engage, and you get your cardio in as an added bonus. The step-up exercise takes this a little further, engaging your muscles a little more and pushing it just that bit extra.

To do the step-up activity, you need a stool or bench that is just below knee height. Next step up onto it, leading with one foot, stand there for a second and step back to the ground. Always be careful to make sure that the area around your workout zone is safe.

Do this 15 times with one leg and then switch to the other. Gradually increase the number of reps each time.

How to Soothe a Teething Baby

By sophie Holy

Lead

Teething is misery for your baby and parents. It seems to be a continuous cycle throughout the first year of your baby's life. A tooth appears, and you get a break for a few days or even a week. Then, the next tooth starts to erupt, over and over again. Teething leads to days without sleep and learning how to soothe a teething baby is essential.

Body

Teething happens in the first year, around six months old. It can turn your relaxed, chill baby into a disaster zone. Of course, you have the standard options, such as infant ibuprofen, that are safe and reduce the pain and inflammation caused by teething. You can also use natural teething remedies to soothe your infant.

6 Ways to Soothe a Teething Baby

Cold

Using cold treatment is the most commonly recommended remedy to try because it works so well. Applying something cold to your baby's gums help numb them, and it's the most effective way to soothe teething pain.

I've found a few ways to use cold for teething babies effectively. Try these suggestions:

  • Freeze a clean, wet washcloth. Your baby can chew on the cold washcloth to numb his swelling gums.

  • Offer cold food, such as chilled pieces of fruit or applesauce.

  • Put an ice cube into a small, muslin bag for your baby to chew and suck.

  • Fill up a bottle with water and freeze it upside down which makes the water freeze in the nipple. Then, your baby can chew on the nipple.

  • Chill a metal spoon in the refrigerator for a few hours and let your baby chew on it. The American Dental Association recommends this remedy, so you know that it works! (https://www.ada.org/~/media/ADA/Publications/Files/ForthePatient_1114.pdf)

Use Pressure

Have you ever noticed that your teething baby wants to chew on everything? Puppies are the same way when they start to teeth. Babies chew on everything because the counter pressure feels excellent and helps to soothe the pain.

A few ways you can use pressure to help soothe your baby include:

  • Let your baby chew on your clean hand. Babies love to chew on a clean knuckle, and your hands are always available and free. They make an excellent teething tool.

  • Make a teething ring out of a wooden maple ring and organic knit cotton fabric.

  • Try a soft silicone teething toy that is easy for your baby to hold.

  • Teething biscuits are great for babies who have finger foods and can safely eat them. You can either make your own with your baby food maker or purchase them from the store. He can munch on them, giving the pressure needed to soothe his gums, while also getting a yummy snack.

  • Wear a silicone teething necklace that your baby can play with if you're babywearing or holding your baby.

  • Any parent will tell you that Sophie the Giraffe Teether is a baby's favorite toy. It's comfortable to hold, soft, yet applies the right amount of pressure.

  • Get a baby toothbrush! Chewing on a toothbrush encourages good dental health later, but it's also pressure and texture to soothe their gums.

  • My babies love the new teething mittens out on the market. It straps to their hand, so they can't throw it off of them. The top has silicone with grips, perfect for chomping and chewing.

Chamomile

Chamomile is known for its calming abilities. It can soothe and relax nerves as well as reduce pain, so it's the perfect herb to use for teething pain. Since your baby is little, you can only use chamomile in a few ways effectively.

Chamomile Tea

My favorite way to use chamomile for teething is with chamomile tea. No, you don't want your infant to drink it. Instead, make a weak tea and freeze it into ice cube trays. Put an ice cube in a mesh feeder or a muslin bag tied tightly. Let your baby chew on the bag to get all the benefits.

Chamomile Tincture

You can make a chamomile tincture at home and use that to soothe your baby's gums. Just take a drop or two and finger it on your child's gums to help ease the swelling and pain.

Chamomile Essential Oil

Be cautious if you decide to use essential oils on infants because many aren't safe. You can use one drop of chamomile essential oil into one tablespoon of carrier oil, such as coconut oil. Then, rub that on your baby's gums to relieve pain.

Topical Pain Relief 

There are a few choices for topical pain relief for babies while teething. Orajel isn't typically recommended anymore, but it's an option. A few natural brands have developed safer alternatives.

For kids over the age of 2 years old, you can use diluted clove essential oil. Clove is a natural numbing agent that works similar to benzocaine. You will need to dilute the clove because it can burn your child painfully. It also works great for adults!

Vanilla is another soothing agent that also helps to reduce anxiety. Vanilla extract has trace amounts of alcohol - don't worry; your baby won't get drunk. The alcohol helps to create a warming sensation. All you have to do is use a cotton swab to apply to your baby's gums.

Amber Teething Necklace 

In the last few years, amber teething necklaces have gained in popularity. Parents believe that the amber releases succinic acid when in contact with your baby's warm body. Succinic acid has analgesic properties have to help to relieve the pain your child feels during teething.

However, it's impossible to prove whether or not this work. Most parents swear they're useful, so it's worth a shot. You can read thousands of testimonies about the effectiveness throughout the teething stage.

It goes without saying that parents do need to exercise caution when it comes to necklaces and infants. They could be a choking hazard. Necklaces should be removed for sleeping.

Using Pain Medicine

Yes, you can use pain medicine if your baby is truly miserable, and that can happen. While I always try home remedies first, there have been days when my babies were in so much pain that I opted for pain medicine.

Now, remember, the key here is to follow the directions on the packages and use in moderation. No, you shouldn't give Tylenol or Advil every day or every night to help your baby sleep. An abundance of pain medicine can cause adverse reactions for your baby's body, so use it sparingly.

Babies who are under six months old shouldn't take Advil. Also, always talk to your pediatrician about dosages to make sure you're giving the right amount.

Soothing Your Baby

Soothing a teething baby can be hard. Each child has individual pain tolerances, so finding what works for your baby takes trial and error. Once you do see what works, stick with it!

Do you have a favorite teething remedy or trick? Make sure to share it!

Want To Recover From Breast Surgery- Follow These 6 Tips

By sophie Holy

Each year, thousands of women choose breast augmentation to enhance cup size attractively. If you are one of them who have chosen this procedure for you, it is important to become familiar with each stage before undergoing the knife. You might be nervous regarding the procedure, but a doctor will always be there to take care during the entire procedure. Your work will begin just after the procedure. You have to give time to heal yourself. Here are some of the important steps that you can follow to heal yourself fast after the procedure.

  1. Wear A Support Bra

After the surgery is finished, the doctor will provide you the support bra that will stabilize your breasts and prevent them from moving further. This ensures that the implants get settled in the right manner within your body. This undergarment also compresses the impacted area, which will, in turn, reduce discomfort and bruising. It is important to wear this as long your doctor recommends.

  1. Take Rest And Avoid Moving

After breast surgery, taking rest is very important. Though it will be tempting to go out and do the things on your own, you must lower down your movement. It will not only help you to avoid discomfort but also allow you to focus on the process of healing for a longer time. The surgeon will tell you how long you can take rest and what things you must avoid.

  1. Take the prescribed medications

You might be prescribed with different medications depending on the doses that are best for you. It is important to buy the medicines beforehand so that you can have them in your hand after the surgery. Take the exact dose of medication as per suggested by the surgeon. If you are given the painkillers, you should have them as long you are recommended.

  1. Do not smoke or drink

Almost all the best cosmetic surgeons in Dubai or from other locations suggest not drinking alcohol or smoke for at least first four weeks after the surgery. It can cause a negative impact on the medications that you are taking during the process. Alcohol causes dehydration and increases healing time. Smoking also reduces the amount of oxygen blood carries in the body.

  1. Sleep in the right position

Almost all the surgeons give special instructions to the patients regarding how to sleep during the night. You must sleep on your back as it ensures that your breast implants do not move and they do not introduce to pressure while you sleep on stomach or the sides. If you want to support, you can take extra pillows too.

  1. Massage your breasts

It is good to start massaging your breast implants when the surgeon recommends. Though it seems to be uncomfortable, it is one of the important parts of the recovery process. Gentle massage can prevent scarring of the tissue too. Undergoing breast surgery is great when you get the desired results. However, it is very important to follow the healing procedure to get attractive breasts. You can consult with the best cosmetic surgeons in Dubai or at other locations, who are reputed and experienced in this field.

All You Need To Know About Follow Up Care After A Dental Implant Surgery

By sophie Holy

Dental implants are one of the most technologically advanced treatments sought for issues with permanent teeth loss. The implantation, however, is done through a proper surgery. While the surgery is minimal risk, it is important to follow a proper care protocol after the surgery to cut the chances of incurring infections or unnecessary pain. The dental implant surgery is non-complicated but a lot also depends on your choice of dentist for the procedure. Make sure to rely on an experienced professional to avoid any mismanagement of protocols during the surgery itself.

What to expect immediately after dental implant surgery?

A local anesthetic is used to numb the area before the dental implant surgery is performed. This reduces the chances of pain during surgery. However, as the effects of the anesthetic wear off the discomfort will rise in intensity gradually. Dentists often suggest an ice pack to be placed on the area to cut the swelling that is immediate after effect of the surgery. Apart from this, you can make a systematic follow-up care protocol to make sure the proper healing of the area and complete risk management post-surgery.

Steps for follow up care after a dental implant surgery

Make sure your dentist prescribes you some immediate aftercare pain management solutions. Usually over the counter pills for pain such as Tylenol or ibuprofen are prescribed for the first few days post-surgery. If your dental implant surgery was more invasive because of deeper roots or softer gum line, you might need heavier pain medications. The pain management protocol should also be followed for a longer period, in this case, thus increasing your recovery time.

 

Post dental implant surgery, you have to follow a specialized dental hygiene routine for the first few weeks to avoid incurring bacterial infections to the surrounding gum line. A condition referred to as the Peri-Implantitis can infect the surrounding gum line causing mal-odor and intense pain in the jaw. Severe conditions can even lead to the loss of the implant altogether.

 

Make sure to schedule routine checkups in the next months so your dentist can check the surrounding soft and hard tissues as you adjust to the implant. Professional tools are used to clear any calcified deposits in the areas surrounding the implant.

 

In some cases, an uneven bite can lead to intense pain as you put unnecessary pressure on your dental implant during the recovery period. Your dentist will help resolve the issue with bite correction so your implant adapts most naturally to your teeth.

Trusting the right professional!

As you can understand an implant, surgery is not a single treatment. It is a commitment to months of recovery and adaptation of the implant with your natural teeth. It is important to begin this journey with the right professional. Make sure to search for “dentist office near me" to find the most qualified dental professionals around you. Compare their credentials and take the time to do proper consultation before you make your choice on which dentist to trust to begin your dental implantation successfully.

What are the conditions of the Temporo-Mandibular joint (TMJ)?

By sophie Holy

It is possible to feel the temporomandibular joints by placing the fingers directly in front of the ears and opening the mouth. What you feel are the rounded tips of the lower jaw that move within the temporal bone joint. Conditions of the TMJ and TMD disorder can affect people of any age. Many of those affected with TMJ conditions are predominantly young women.

What are the signs and symptoms?

There is a wide variety of types of TMJ conditions. Therefore there are many symptoms. Some of the most common signs of TMJ are the following:

Pain in the facial muscles, in the joints of the jaw or around the ears. When you open or close your mouth, sounds are produced. (Some people hear these sounds but do not have other symptoms, when that is the case, they may not have TMJ). Difficulty chewing or biting. Headache, dizziness, earache, hearing loss and ringing in the ears. Difficulty opening the mouth completely or "locking" the jaw. It is possible that the jaw stays open or remains closed.

What causes the conditions of the temporomandibular joint?

It is not clear what causes the TMJ condition, but there are several things that contribute to the problem.

Squeezing or grinding your teeth can make the development of a TMJ more likely. When the joint is overloaded, the disc is worn or displaced. Squeezing or grinding your teeth can also change the way teeth are aligned, and often affects the muscles we use to chew. Sometimes people do not realize they are clenching or grinding their teeth as they can while they sleep.

Stress can generate symptoms of TMJ causing people to squeeze or grind their teeth or tense the muscles of the jaws. TMJ conditions are more common in people with other dental problems (such as a bad bite), joint problems (such as arthritis), muscle problems, or a history of injuries to the jaw and face.

How are TMJ conditions diagnosed?

If you have symptoms of a TMJ condition, tell the dentist. The earlier you diagnose and treat the TMJ condition the better. Your dentist will ask you questions and examine you. Your doctor will perform imaging tests such as x-rays, CT scans, or an MRI to see if you have a TMJ condition. Your dentist can give you more tips on how to avoid the symptoms of TMJ.

If you have a TMJ condition, the pain may go away in just a few days. Meanwhile, eat soft foods. If the pain is severe or does not go away on its own, consult a doctor or dentist immediately. Applying cold or hot packs to the sides of the face usually relieves pain.

Why is Xanax the most abused drugs in teens in UK?

By sophie Holy

British teenagers are buying Xanax - a drug used to treat anxiety, which can only be obtained through a medical prescription - on social networks. The research corroborates data from an association that helps young people with addiction, which ensures there are buyers with only 13 years. When the investigation became public, the UK Home Office said it was already taking action. Already the social networks where illegal sales take place - Facebook and Instagram -, claims that this type of sale is illegal on the platforms. You can find a page [on social networks] with the type of drugs sold, based on photos or what you want to Buy Xanax U.K.

Present scenario of Xanax abuse The country is unaware of the drug's expansion, calling for a campaign of awareness and support services for adolescents with addiction problems. It's part of the culture of young people today. Expect companies with social networks to act quickly to remove content and accounts from users who do not comply with their own policies. Buying or selling drugs is prohibited on Instagram and these accounts have been removed. Drug counselors across the UK are beginning to hear of similar pill-driven parties that are part of a rapidly growing underground culture marked by an increase in the abuse of prescription drugs by adolescents and young adults. Young people who misuse these drugs have also begun using the Internet to share "prescriptions" to get stoned. Some sites are so simplistic that they refer to pills by color, not by their names, brands, formula or potency.

This is a social war According to experts, this could explain why emergency rooms are reporting that adolescents and young adults are increasingly being admitted to hospitals because of overdoses of bizarre and potentially lethal combinations of pills. Overdoses with over-the-counter medications accounted for about a quarter of the nearly 1.3 million drug-related cases seen in emergency rooms in 2018-19. The abusive use of medications, both those sold on prescription and those available on UK supermarket shelves-a phenomenon that did not pay much attention to drug research a decade ago-is increasing at a rate that is defined as alarming.

Why addicted towards Xanax? Some young people are self-medicating to cure depressions or anxieties undiagnosed by a professional, while others have used stimulants to try to gain an advantage in the tests and studies. Experts claims that these medications are familiar mood alters for a generation that grew in the period when prescription prescriptions increased for the acquisition of Ritalin and other stimulants for the treatment of ailments such as attention deficit disorder.There have been incidents where young people brought a Ziploc bag full of pills to school and distributed them to other students.
