Structure Your Lifestyle for Maximum Health

I dont know of any part of the human anatomy or the anatomy of any living organism for that matter that is not designed for maximum efficiency and performance.

The scientific wording for this is: Structure Governs Function

For example;

The skull is a powerful protector of the most important organ in the body the brain.

The ears are angled to access acoustic vibrations.

The eyes discern colour and are best suited for gazing long distances.

The nose warms, filters and humidifies the air we breathe before it reaches the lungs.

The oral structure has some amazing functions from lip smacking and sucking to chewing, swallowing and digestion.

The structure of the spine allows for:

-stretching

-flexing

-bending

-twisting/torquing and

-rotation

The joints of the limbs allow for walking, climbing, running, reaching

The hands and fingers wellwhat more can we say other than the finger-thumb opposition sets us above all other animals.

We are an amazing piece of work.

We don't even have to know how all the parts work but we can be confident that all parts work for the whole.

The prime directive within each organism is to maintain its integrity at all costs.

To this end, each cell in the body adheres to the basic laws of biology, viz

- Response
- Reproduction
- Repair

The body responds to all stimulations, be they physical, chemical or electrical.

Each cell is capable of reproducing itself through the constant metabolic pattern of anabolism and catabolism.

And lastly, the body has an inbuilt program of repair - it heals itself and goes through cycles of detoxification when necessary.

This is the manner in which the body is structured and these are the means by which it communicates with itself.

All the best in structuring your lifestyle for better health.

Tips And Techniques In Golf Putting

golf putting can change an otherwise terrible round of golf into a winning day or can literally ruin an otherwise great game of perfect shots. golf putting aids are sometimes problematic because the golfer will become used to the training aid and wont always be able to continue the new habits they have learned with the aid after the aid is gone. golf putting is the last nail in the coffin of a golfers game.

Putting

Putting is a huge part of the game. Putting is the maker or breaker of your game and all it requires is some basic confidence and technique. Putting is an essential, if not the most important, factor in playing golf. The simple task of rolling a golf ball to a hole a certain distance away, would be considered by most to be the easiest skill to learn in golf. Whether youre a beginner or a pro, you can never practice your putting enough. Luckily, there are a few drills and tips you can use to improve your putting aside from just going out and practicing.

One putting drill that you can do starts with placing 5 golf balls a foot away from the hole. You can continue this process as far away from the hole as you want, but this will allow you to practice putting from multiple distances all over the green. When it comes to putting, confidence is everything. At the most extreme, you can practice putting with your eyes closed to get a feel for your stroke. While there are a plethora of putting drills and tips that can help improve your putting, practice is the number one key to enhancing your putting skills.

Putting

The more time and effort you put forth into practicing putting, the more confident you will feel on the greens. The main techniques in a good putting stroke include standing square to the target, not breaking the wrists, keeping your eyes over the ball, making sure the putting backstroke is shorter than the follow-through, and keeping your head still. Remember, a good, solid putt is accomplished not by slapping at the ball, but by putting through the ball a longer distance than you took to hit the ball. You can initiate the putting stroke by a slight press forward.

The time spent on the green can be shortened by reviewing the putting surface when walking up on the green. You can speed up play by looking at your putt while other players are putting and be ready for the shot when its your turn. The putting line and speed should be reviewed from both sides of the hole. Youll find that you can develop techniques to compensate for the influence of the grain on each individual putting surface.

golf putting is an art, not every one can putt perfectly. If you practice your putting techniques more than you practice your back swing, youll find that you will save strokes. If you are going to invest time and money on lessons, spend more resources on taking chipping and putting lessons.
