Wellness Wednesday!

SKELETAL SYSTEM!!!

Did you know that we are made up of roughly 206 bones!? Some people have more, some have less!

This is the foundation if you will that protects our organs and provides a frame for our muscles and ligaments and such. Our skeletal system enables movement and also produces blood cells!

This system has 2 special groups. The Axial l, which is made up of the skull, spine, and rib cage. The Appendicular skeleton makes up the shoulders, pelvis, and limbs.

Bones are living tissue that continously remodel and heal. They are made up of spongy bone that is the outer and inner layer of compact bones.

There are 5 different types of bones:
Long: Longer than they are wide (e.g., femur, humerus).
Short: Cube-shaped (e.g., carpals in wrist, tarsals in ankle).
Flat: Thin, often curved (e.g., skull bones, ribs).
Irregular: Specialized shapes (e.g., vertebrae).
Sesamoid: Embedded in tendons (e.g., patella).

Bones require nutrients, especially calcium and vitamin D, and regular exercise to remain strong.

Common disorders include osteoporosis (weakened, brittle bones) and fractures, often treated by orthopedists.

Key Tips to Strengthen Bones:
Weight-Bearing Exercises: Engage in activities that work against gravity, such as brisk walking, jogging, skipping, dancing, and climbing stairs.

Strength Training: Use weights or resistance bands to strengthen muscles, which stimulates bone growth. Focus on exercises like squats, lunges, and overhead presses, targeting 3 sets to fatigue, 3-4 times a week.

Dietary Calcium: Ensure adequate intake (approx. 1,000–1,200 mg/day for adults) through dairy products, leafy greens, fortified soya, and tofu.Vitamin D and K2: Get daily sun exposure to boost Vitamin D, which helps absorb calcium. Include foods with Vitamin K2 (fermented soy, hard cheeses) to help manage calcium levels in bones.

Lifestyle Adjustments: Quit smoking, limit alcohol, and take steps to avoid falls, which can lead to fractures.

Remember to be gentle with your skeleton system and take measures when and where you can to support the framework of your body! 🥰

Let's talk about your endocrine system!

What is it? It releases hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate vital bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, sleep, and mood. It works alongside the nervous system to maintain homeostasis (balance), using hormones as chemical messengers to communicate with target tissues throughout the body.

Diseases arise when there is too much or too little of a hormone (imbalance) or issues with the glands.
-Diabetes
-Thyroid disorders
-Hormonal Imbalances

Key Organs:
Hypothalamus- connects nervous and endocrine system and signals Pituitary gland

Pituitary Gland - master gland-controls other endocrine glands

Thyroid Gland -regulate metabolisim

Parathyroid -controls calcium levels for bone health

Adrenal Glands-produces hormones to manage stress levels

Pineal Gland-helps promote sleep

Pancreas-releases insulin/glucagon to manage glucose

Gonads-testes and ovaries producing reproducing hormones

This is such a vital system of our body and is so important to know what and how it affects our overall health.

Hope this sheds some light on a new system to you!

Wellness Wednesday! Hydration is so important and here's why:

Key Reasons for Adequate Hydration:

Physical Performance: Water supports muscle function, reducing cramps and fatigue.

Cognitive Function: Proper hydration improves mood and mental clarity.

Heart Health: Water helps the heart pump blood more efficiently and prevents it from overworking.

Detoxification: Adequate fluid intake helps the kidneys remove waste and supports digestion.

Temperature Regulation: Water enables the body to release heat through perspiration.

Joint and Skin Health: Water lubricates joints and keeps skin hydrated.

Signs of Dehydration:

Dark yellow or amber urine.
Dry mouth, dizziness, or headaches.
Increased thirst, fatigue, or confusion.

Tips for Daily Hydration:

Drink water regularly rather than waiting until you are thirsty.

Consume fluids throughout the day and include water-rich foods.

Choose water over sugary drinks like soda or fruit juice.

Increase intake in hot, humid weather or during exercise.

Stay hydrated my friends!
