Swell Idea

Hi guys. Today is about the knee cartilage. It is important cause injury to it sidelines most players. Cartilage is a tough and flexible tissue that connects the bones. Looks to me that it is rubber-like in properties. But the question is Do we apply ice packs to rubber tires to prolong its shelf-life? Nope. I think it is kept on an air-conditioned room.

The reason is I have been jogging recently cause I wanna join a marathon soon, most probably the 5k run. Nope my knees are okay but I have read of knee cartilage injury like of Brandon Roy. Today I read players getting cortisone shots on the knee to relieve the pain. It kind of drinking soda you know, tricking the mind that the stomach is full.

So the cartilage also functions as a shock absorber that is why your weight should be proportioned and also be balanced especially at landing from a jump to take care of the cartilage. Because when there is tear in the cartilages, the bones grind against each other. Like when the teeth grind against each other, it exposes the nerve endings that gives you the pain and electric shocks when you move. Cold water worsens the condition in your teeth, you already know.

I think the swelling is in the flesh caused by the pointed edges of the bones and cartilages as they grind against each other and on the flesh. As I am suggesting, ice packs has adverse effects on the cartilage. The doctors should find an alternative method to reduce the swelling.

How to treat cartilage wear and tear though? Does it heal naturally or requires surgery or replacement? Do cortisone shots have adverse effects?

I guess prevention is better than cure so drink milk so your bones will be strong. In case you do not know, you do not stop drinking milk. Milk is not just for children. Adults need milk more than children does so get the milk for adults.

Hot weather is also bad for the health so to cool down, PH guys has to get water atomizers like this in the sidewalks so people can freshen up. Pictures below are taken from the Toy Museum in Penang, Malaysia.

Guys, here's a tip. If a boxer or a fighter is flat-chested during the fight, it means he is well-conditioned to last the full rounds distance while if he has man-boobs it means he spent more than time in the weights room with little roadwork. I don't have an idea about woman conditioning. Because there are flat-chested and buxom breasted women with or without exercise, how to know? Because they wearing a bra.

The first thing you strengthen is the lower body meaning legs and calves because it supports the upper body so it should be proportional. When you have muscled, you must run because if you do not run, you should join the body building contest.

I like the sound of buxom, its one of my favorite words along with thin, curtain and film. A curtain of clouds. Thin film of mud. True story. Once I saw clouds arranged parallel to the horizon like a curtain. My safety shoes usually get thin films of mud. Buxom player swells.
