with, management should always be achieved in consultation with your doctors, and other health professionals - dieticians, nutritionists, homeopathic doctors, physical therapists, trainers, chiropractors, instructors etc. These experts are well-trained in their fields and their knowledge can mean the difference between successful pain reduction or eradication, and adding to your pain through reinjury or new injury. Take care of yourself. Your body will thank you.

Cultural Tidbit: William Hazlitt (b: April 10, 1778 - d: September 18, 1830) was a well-known British writer, essayist, social commentator, painter, literary and drama critic, philosopher and even a self-described “metaphysician”. Trained in the unitarian faith, he had a crisis of faith and turned to philosophy. He championed the cause of the common man. He is considered one of
the greatest essayists and critics in the English language, among the likes of George Orwell.

At 8:46am, on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the first hijacked airplane was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. It unleashed the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and launched us into a changed United States - heightened security and war on terror. Today, 17 years later, we remember. 

We will never forget the bravery, the sacrifice and the incredible capacity for goodness and selflessness found in the human spirit amidst the capacity for incredible evil found in human nature.

What's your favorite food? How often do you eat it? How do you feel after you do? These are questions to consider when you hear the word cholesterol. September is National Cholesterol Education Month...so let's get cracking. 

What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy substance that your body uses to build cells. 

Where does cholesterol come from? Cholesterol comes from two sources. Your liver creates some of the cholesterol your body needs to build new cells. Other cholesterol, known as dietary cholesterol, comes from foods we eat that come from animals - meat, poultry, dairy products etc. Eating a lot of these foods triggers your liver to produce more cholesterol.

When is cholesterol considered good or bad? Cholesterol is found in our blood, circulating with it. The higher the amount of cholesterol in the blood, the greater the health risk. LDL cholesterol is considered bad, HDL cholesterol is considered good. LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein, HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein. The lipoproteins carry cholesterol back and forth to the cells. Too much LDL cholesterol causes fat-build up in arteries, which can lead to increased risk of stroke and heart disease. LDLs and HDLs combine with triglycerides, the most common type of fat in the body.
