Thousands of boys and girls younger than 19 years participate in boxing in North America. Although boxing provides benefits for participants, including exercise, self-discipline, and self-confidence, the sport of boxing encourages and rewards deliberate blows to the head and face. Participants in boxing are at risk of head, face, and neck injuries, including chronic and even fatal neurologic injuries. Concussions are one of the most common injuries that occur with boxing. B...

With his speed, agility and power, he has conquered lots of other great boxers of the twenty first century. In between fights, he keeps his training regime and intensifies it when another fight approaches. Just like a boxer, we, too come face to face with many opponents in the arena of life—problems and difficulties. The bad news is, we don’t really know when our bouts with these opponents occur—no posters and promotional TV commercials; no pre-fight Press Conference and weigh in to make sure that we measure up to our opponent; and there is no Pay Per View coverage. Here are several reasons why you should train yourself for success like a champion boxer! You don’t practice in the arena, that’s where your skills and your abilit...

With 75 acres of lush woodlands and pristine lakes, it’s pretty perfect for hiking, kayaking, canoeing, mountain biking, and fishing. On-site classes include everything from yoga, pilates, and cardio kick-boxing to photography, drawing, and cooking demonstrations. Yes, cuisine at the Lodge is healthy, but it’s not diet food. Tree restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and (with advance notice), its chef will even customize menus to accommodate your dietary needs. And let’s not forget the spa itself: 27 treatment rooms, 14 massage rooms, six facial rooms, three “wet” treatmen...

It has been noted, in recent years, that sports figures, such as boxers, football players, and soccer players, who are regularly hit in the head during their exploits, develop Alzheimer’s in their later years.  Floyd Patterson also developed Alzheimer’s disease.

And THEN, there's a BOXING WORK OUT. Trust me, there's a reason why boxers are able to spend over a half an hour in a ring exchanging punches and not go into cardiac arrest. It's because these guys and gals have trained their butts off for months before ever stepping foot in that arena, let alone that ring. But, you don't have to be Rocky Balboa to get the benefit of a boxing workout, which is why I am this week highlighting some of the basic boxing moves that you too can add to your fitness routine. First of all, be sure to always maintain a proper stance. This means keeping your feet a little more than shoulder width apart, with your dominant foot in the back (in other words, if you're right hande...

I open them almost two hours later to a familiar sound: My son Charlie is talking. One word he repeats over and over, a smile in his voice: It is the name of one his favorite aides. And then, two more words: “School tomorrow!” He runs in and pulls off his pajamas and makes a request: “Clothes on! Socks, shoes.” I am more than half asleep; Charlie says these words everyday. And yet I am in a state of awe and warm wonder to hear his voice and his voice uttering words. They are mostly nouns; they a...

Diabetic mice under physical or mental stress have elevated glucose levels. And now, as if the aforementioned isn't bad enough - researchers have found that a single socially stressful situation contributes to depression in rats. It seems this single socially stressful scenario is killing new nerve cells in the hippocampus, the area of the brain that processes learning, memory and emotion. In young rats, the stress of encountering older, aggressive rats didn't stop the creation of new brain nerve cells. It prevented the new nerve cells from surviving, which left the young rats with fewer neurons for processing feelings and e...
