Summary: <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/2817230861_d27341dec0_m.jpg"></a><br><br> Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cmaccubin/2817230861/">cmaccubin</a> via Flickr<br> Back on <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/bh4bp0040/">show #40</a>, I talked about ways to minimize or avoid muscle soreness and muscle cramps during exercise.  For those that didn’t hear that show, those are aches and pains that while painful, do not involve injury.<br> In this show, I am going to cover exercise related injuries.  Specifically, I am going to discuss strains and sprains.  I will go over what they are, who is at risk for getting them, what to do when you get them and of course ways to avoid them.<br> <br> Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sprains-and-strains/DS00343">Mayo Clinic</a> and <a href="http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/strains">ahealthyme.com</a>.<br> I also answered Michele Ford’s question regarding the safety of Stevia.  The primary reference used while researching this question was the <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/stevia/AN01733">Mayo Clinic</a>.<br> The blog posts for this week are:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/swine_flu/">Swine Flu: How to Avoid It</a><br> * <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/nose_bleeds/">Not Another Nosebleed!</a><br> <br> If you like the show, please head on over to iTunes and give me a nice review. It’s a great way to give me some good exposure and can help me get more listeners. Thanks for listening, everyone!<br>
