Digestion is important for nitric oxide production because it plays a crucial role in the absorption of nutrients that are key to nitric oxide synthesis. For instance, the amino acid L-arginine, found in protein-rich foods, and nitrates from vegetables like beets and leafy greens are essential precursors for nitric oxide production. Efficient digestion ensures that these nutrients are properly broken down and absorbed, allowing the body to produce optimal levels of nitric oxide. This molecule is vital for vasodilation, improving blood flow, supporting cardiovascular health, and enhancing exercise performance. Without proper digestion, the body can't efficiently utilize these nutrients, leading to reduced nitric oxide production and potential health implications.

Are the gut microbiome and eczema correlated?

Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) is an inflammatory condition that causes your skin to become dry, red, itchy, and bumpy.

Some research is showing that infants with eczema may have an *altered microbiome*.
➡️Infants with eczema commonly have less "good bacteria" and more of the "bad bacteria" in their gut (dysbiosis).
➡️Additionally, increased intestinal permeability (aka leaky gut) may lead to pathogenesis of skin conditions such as eczema.

And development of the gut microbiome begins in infancy! Your gut microbiome development depends on…
➡️whether you were born vaginally or via c-section
➡️whether you were breastfed or formula fed (and for how long)
➡️what age you began eating complementary foods
➡️your diet and nutrition as an infant and child
➡️antibiotic exposure
Infants with eczema are more likely to have allergies as well.
➡️About 30 percent of children with atopic dermatitis have food allergies. These food allergies could be to cow’s milk, eggs, soy, gluten, nuts, fish, and/or shellfish.

If you or your child have eczema, consider discussing with an allergist, functional medicine practitioner, or other healthcare professional your options such as…
✅Allergy testing (skin prick or blood test)
✅Comprehensive Stool Test
✅Elimination diet or modified elimination of foods
✅Repairing the gut (this could be through food, supplementation, etc.)

Which Swing Is Better For My Shoulder Health?
🎾
🎾
🎾
🎾
🎾
🎾
🎾
🎾
Which did you choose? And more importantly, why?
🎾
If you chose Swing B, you’re correct!
Whenever we perform a power move, we want to use our bigger muscle groups to generate the power.
In Swing A, I’m standing almost completely still and my smaller shoulder muscles have to generate all the power to get the ball over the net.
🎾
In Swing B, I’m using my whole body to generate the power- my legs, hips and core muscles do the bulk of the work and my shoulder muscles can worry about fine tuning things.
Tips to keep your rotator cuff muscles playing well and playing for life:
🎾 Turn your whole body and use your legs and core. Don’t lock yourself into facing forward the whole game.
🎾 Don’t let your arm trail behind you too much. Aim to turn your body and sweep your arm forward at the same time.
🎾 Be careful of training volume. Racquet sports are typically very one-sided activities so your dominant arm is prone to overtraining injuries.

Balance is multi dimensional. It is necessary that you are in a parasympathetic state to balance optimally. Your nervous system has to feel safe.

Most people I see train balance are neither “safe” ( from a nervous system perspective) or effective.

Large nerve proprioceptors, found in our muscle tendon junctions, joint capsules, ligaments, golgi tendon organs, and muscle spindles, are most commonly trained and are associated with slower reaction times.

The faster, small nerve proprioceptors, on the other hand can be found in bottom of the foot, palm of the hand, and within our FASCIA! These proprioceptors provide faster and more accurate joint position information.

If we train them properly can lead to faster dynamic joint stability and balance.

Check back tomorrow for ways to improve your balance!

Here are six ways to help improve your balance:
Make sure that the balance exercise you are performing is easy enough so that you can breathe diaphragmatically.
Allow your toes to splay and focus on the tripod of your foot.
Use a textured surface, such as naboso technology, to enhance proprioceptive stimulation.
Use a visual cue/focus to enhance your balance.
Consider using sensory stimulation for your hands while balancing. Check out Naboso’s neuro ball.
Make sure that your movements are integrated. Fascial tensioning is key to create stability and balance.

Nutrition with addition Try adding more to your meals and snacks!

Naked carbs is a casual term I use with my patients to describe carbs eaten alone, such as a bag of pretzels, a piece of bread, a bowl of pasta or rice.

When we have naked carbs, we absorb the glucose (carbs, source of energy) super fast. And it doesn’t take long for our body to ask for more! Our blood sugar quickly spikes, and then drops indicating that we need more food.

But, if we add protein, fat, and/or fiber, digestion and absorption takes longer. We feel fuller longer and much more satiated. Our blood sugar is better managed as well.
