Foam Rollers Should Be Used Properly to Get Best Results

You might have probably seen a foam roller if you go to gym. You can even see them everywhere in Sydney-at the pools, the beaches and the tracks. Some of you might have even bought one for yourself. It is basically a cheap and lightweight sports accessory that keeps the body fit. Storing them at home is also easy. It doesn’t take much space and can fit into a bike bag. So, if you are travelling to competitions or camps you can carry it with you if you want to keep your body fit and healthy.
This sports accessory is mainly made from Australian made Dunlop foam in Sydney. It looks like a firm log and is a valuable part of a runner’s warmup routine. It improves blood circulation and that gets the body ready for a workout and helps it in recovering afterward. Rolling basically breaks down the knots, which limits the range of motion. It prepares the muscles for stretching as well.
If used properly, a foam roller has the capacity of releasing the tensions as well as tightness between the fascia and muscles. This tightness or tension is generally caused by constant moving patterns. Dynamic stretching as well as foam rolling can help in improving the flexibility and the range of movement and minimizing the injury risk.
 Using the body weight is the main thing in foam rolling. If there is an area that really hurts, go gentle and support some weight elsewhere making use of your arms. You can even add a lot more weight when your muscle relaxes.
To do the rolling properly, moderate pressure should be applied to some muscle making use of the roller and the bodyweight. Rolling should be done slowly. When painful or tight areas are found, you need to pause for some seconds and then relax as much as you can. You should feel your muscle releasing and slowly the pain must lessen.

If you find any areas that are too painful for applying direct pressure, the roller needs to be sifted and pressure needs to be applied on surrounding area and slowly work for loosening the total area. The main goal of using this fitness accessory is to restore the healthy muscles of human body.

How Big Is the Problem of Hearing Loss in Australia?

One among six Australians experience impaired hearing nowadays. Hearing losses affect people of all age groups but particularly there are a lot more baby boomers aged forty-five to sixty-four with this kind of loss than there are people of age over sixty-five years.

As the baby boomers reach their mid-age, there comes a time when hearing loss becomes a lot more noticeable. These people face concerns regarding what to do about the hearing loss. Boomers can have a lot more hearing problems at early age than the previous generations. The noisy-lifestyle with more exposure to the loud stereos, rock concerts, lawn mowers, power tools and city traffic can take its toll on their ears.

The hearing aid specialists in Bulleen confirm that they are observing more young people looking for help with a hearing loss. There are about millions of Australians who are exposed to excessively noisy environments. Among those millions of people with such defects, there are about many people who are partially attributable to the damage from exposure to the loud sounds.
Most of the hearing loss may be helped but they cannot be cured by using hearing aids. Still, most of the people suffering from such a kind of problem do not take advantage of this device. Actually, according to a survey, most of the people having a hearing loss can hear better with a hearing aid but only a few people who need one wears one. 

Hearing loss is basically reduced hearing. It can be caused by different factors. It is different from deafness. It may affect a person’s work as well as personal life.  There are mainly two types of hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss is caused due to malfunctions or obstructions in the mid or outer ear. Sensorineural hearing loss is basically caused by damage to hair cells in inner ear.
Talking to a person who is suffering from hearing loss is not that easy in Australia. The person may not be able to understand what you are saying. For that, you first need to seek the attention of the person and stand close to him or her while talking. You should never cover your mouth while speaking and should talk more slowly than you do normally. Sometimes, you may need to raise your voice and use body and hand movements to make the person understand what you are trying to say actually.

People Suffering Diabetes Are Likely To Experience Hearing Loss

If you or your loved one is suffering from diabetic and find out that phrases like ‘what did you say?’, ‘speak up’ etc  are often uttered, it might be because of the hearing loss. Researchers have come up with a study, which says that people suffering diabetes are twice as likely to experience hearing loss in comparison to people who are without diabetes. So, if you or your loved one is a diabetic patient make sure you consult one of the best hearing aid specialists in Bulleen.
Diabetic care includes regular monitoring of health. People suffering from this disease often check their blood glucose or do an annual eye exam. Most of them overlook the hearing tests, which is important.
Patients may not have an idea on what tests to do; so it must be the physicians who should refer the patients to go to an audiologist. I often see people who are of 85-90 years of age and they never even had a hearing screen. It is very essential to have a baseline.
There is probably a relation between hearing problems and diabetes, according to experts. Circulatory problems like those see in kidney disease, heart disease and diabetes may affect blood vessels in ears. It is a very fine area having fine blood vessels and it is said that as diabetes gets in the way with circulation, it gets in the way with hearing as well.

There are a few theories about how diabetes affects hearing. People suffering from diabetes are more likely to have hearing loss in comparison to those who are not affected with diabetes. Those having prediabetes have 30% more chance of having hearing impairment compared with people having normal blood glucose.
Hearing loss may be a problem that is caused due to poorly managed diabetes or diabetes for a long period of time much like diabetic retinopathy or diabetic kidney disease. Like kidneys, structure of inner ear is vascularized highly. Thus, hearing loss may be the result of changes to small blood vessels of inner ear.
According to another theory, diabetes may cause changes to auditory nerve’s fibers or sensory neurons. This condition causes damage to peripheral nerve in hands and feet of people with uncontrolled diabetes. Moreover, because noise is the factor for hearing loss, it is possible that people having diabetes are specifically susceptible to negative effects of the sustained loud noise.
