New way of cooking rice removes arsenic, retains m New way of cooking rice removes arsenic, retains minerals. Arsenic is a carcinogen and affects almost every organ in the body and can cause skin lesions, cancer, diabetes and lung diseases. Rice accumulates around 10 times as much arsenic as other grains. In rice, arsenic is concentrated in the outer bran layer surrounding the endosperm. This means that brown rice, (unmilled or unpolished rice that retains its bran) contains more arsenic than white rice. This milling process removes arsenic from white rice but also removes 75-90% of its nutrients. A new study found the "parboiling with absorption method" (PBA) removed most of the arsenic, while keeping most nutrients in the cooked rice. The PBA method involves parboiling the rice in pre-boiled water for 5 minutes before draining and refreshing the water, then cooking it on a lower heat to absorb all the water.

Well it didn’t take long for me to make good use Well it didn’t take long for me to make good use of my new x-ray equipment. My better half decided to walk into the coffee table yesterday and broke her little toe. This is her third rodeo so she knows what to expect in terms of healing and recovery.

Many disc injuries/pathology occur from dysfunctio Many disc injuries/pathology occur from dysfunctional movement. Here is a recent case with a lumbar disc extrusion and right sciatica. Squat assessment revealed a little-known and under appreciated movement error of the thorax...anterior thoracic translation (forward shifting of the ribcage). Squatting or bending down like this causes shear loading on spinal discs and over time can lead to disc bulging, protrusions/herniation, extrusion, and degeneration. During Megan’s squat you can see this occurring as she descends in the squat. Her lumbar spine also extends into an open scissors posture (diverging blue & purple lines), adding compressive loads to her spine as well. Why is this happening? She is not engaging her core properly to create intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). IAP is the mechanism that stabilizes the trunk and spine so little to no movement occurs in the back. She is also not using her feet which will promote lumbopelvic extension as the first move out of the bottom of the squat (less noticeable in this case). We began teaching her how to engage her core properly. She was pulling her stomach in instead of pushing out and tightening the abs. We initially had her sit on the edge of my adjusting table in a crouched position (similar to the beginning of the second video). She worked on creating IAP with abdominal breathing and a “long spine.” This decompressed her spine while training the core cylinder. She is wearing the @core360belt which gives her a target and feedback for IAP and respiration. The crouch position also allows her to feel the position of her body at the bottom of the squat. The 2 big cues for her were to create and maintain IAP and push the feet into the floor throughout the entire squat. You can see how her trunk now behaves as a single unit with no shifting or bending in the back. The sciatica has resolved and @mkpearlsforlyfe will be able to perform loaded squats again very soon.
