Add Power to Your Sport Using the Hips
Did you know that 90 per cent of all body movements and efforts originate,
not from arm or shoulder muscles, but from the hips down?
This is the secret of ancient masters who were able to perform athletic
feats even in old age. People noted that veteran players who have mastered
their sport performed gracefully and with apparent ease, though mostly
average in body size. This is especially observed among martial arts
experts in the East who bested opponents often bigger and taller than
they were.
It will help even non-athletic people in their daily chores to know
that so much physical effort and muscle strain could be avoided if
they only realize that true physical power starts from the hips down.
Activities like pushing, pulling, lifting, walking, and running can
all be made easier if we use our hips correctly—and even avoid
body aches that often accompany wrong body maneuvers.
Swinging a baseball bat or golf club, pitching a ball, spiking a volley
ball, shooting a basketball, delivering a hook or throwing a jab in
boxing, doing a dead lift—all these depend on the use of the
hip.
Without the correct use of the hip, the move becomes powerless and
often awkward. Besides, it may end up straining your back or tearing
a muscle.

Is Coffee The Most Popular Drink In History?
by: Mary Chambers
As far back as 850 A.D it is said that a lonely
sheep herder and his charge stumbled across a strange and mysterious
berry growing on a secluded and forgotten hillside. Before he
could stop them, some of his sheep had already began to sample
this strange fruit. After about ten minutes or so the shepherd
began to notice something unusual about his sheep. They no longer
looked tired after their long trek that day. In fact they appeared
to be wide awake and very alert. The shepherd had never seen them
behave this way and he was curious. Now being a little tired and
weary himself the shepherd decided to try the berries for himself.
Just as had happened with his flock he too became wide awake and
pardon the pun, extremely "full of beans". Just then
a monk happened by and after hearing what had happened proceeded
to scold the poor shepherd and lecture him on his foolish indulgence.
Having had his say the monk continued on his journey but before
he set off he made absolutely sure that a plant was secured amongst
his belongings.
 ab
Back at the abbey the monks decided to try this
new magical stimulant. Soon the endless hours of praying became
easy to endure. Coffee the beverage had been unleashed. Its widespread
use first took hold in the Ethiopian regions before then moving
on to the Arabian empire. Here it was to be held for many years
as a sacred substance until it was illegally exported to the outside
world by an Arab called Baba Budan. Word of its effects then began
to spread and in a short while coffee was to become one of the
most treasured commodities in our history. Today we drink a staggering
4 billion cups each and every year and there are many among us
who would simply refuse to start our day without it.
Although coffee is well known for keeping us awake
there are also health benefits associated with the drinking of
coffee. It is said that those who suffer from asthma and partake
of the drink have 25% less symptoms due to a substance called
theophylline. This is what is known as a bronchodilator and quite
simply it is claimed to help those who suffer from the disease
to breathe a little easier. Drinking Coffee on a regular basis
is also meant to help lower your risk of colon cancer by a figure
also in the region of around 25%. It is thought to do this simply
by helping to keep you regular which in turn helps fend off disease
and illness.
Apart from the benefits that have just been mentioned
it has to be said that simply drinking coffee as a beverage is
a delight that cannot easily be surpassed. The amazing thing is
that the average person has no idea of the varied tastes that
this hallowed bean has to offer. One of the growing trends of
recent years has to be the rising popularity of ordering coffee
via the wonder we call the internet. Never before have we been
able to sample such a wide variety of tastes, blends and aromas
without having to endure the tedious trials of hiking around the
city. I myself tend to place small orders but I always make a
point to record the name, blend and of course exactly from whom
I purchased.
Now you know the story of the magic beans I hope
that next timeyou are considering popping into the local coffee
shop you recall the story of the wandering sheep herder and consider
just what you might be drinking were he not to have wandered with
his flock onto that lonely hillside. Take the time to try the
many different varieties available and I promise you the joys
of coffee will be sure to tantalize your senses,tease your tastebuds
and delight your friends and associates.
Cappuccino or mocha?
