Nutrition
Let's see . . . we talked about Quercetin which comes from red grape skins, red apples, and other things and how it is becoming the next big synthetic thing. Also American cheese, marachino cherries (?) are one molecule away from being plastic. Velveeta isn't cheese.
Successful diets have pattern changes - calories don't matter; content matters!
Your perfect weight formula is eat real food, eat less and move more.
If mothers are having problems producing milk they can drink micro brews.
Nutritionist: concentrated study in nutrition, graduate degree in basic science courses related to nutrition.
Registered Dietician: undergrad in food nutrition or management of food programs. This is more associated with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance).
Protein: macro and essential nutrients. I believe the process goes - eat P, digest P (into amino acids which are the basic building blocks of P), and use them to build P in areas the body needs it such as:
hair
nails
skin
muscle
build bones
RBC hemoglobin
We use more p than we eat (typically) and the body takes P from the above areas if it doesn't have enough.
Average person should get 40-50g/day or 70g/day if pregnant.
There are 22 amino acids
-9 are from animal products
-complete P comes from eggs, fish, beef, pork
-incomplete P comes from bean, rice, corn
nuts are in the middle
Carbohydrates: basic level of sugar (glucose)
3 classification:
-simple (1-2 sugar)
-complex (more than simple)
-dietary fiber
Side note- could help but feel discourage about eating habits. Even trying to do supplements that aren't synthetic, but from food process (?) is one more thing. When I cook it usually is from a box and that is a step in the positive direction for me, you can only imagine how bad it was before. This whole eating right should involve a trip to the grocery store and cooking classes.
Psychology
Again, not anything we can really say, but my groups homework involves:
Journaling- self awareness, understanding, compassion of ourselves/not judging, life, and reflecting on class for the day.
Family Genogram
Read Handouts - Attachment and Bonding Basics
- Intro to Enneagram
Anatomy
In case you haven't been paying attention, Friday is our first test. If you haven't started panicking, now is a great time to do so! :)
Kinesiology: study of the body in motion
MM Tone: normal partial contraction or partially contracted state (which is healthy and normal).
Tonus: maintaining tone.
Isotonic (concentric): the tone/tension in mm doesn't change; mm length shortens (ex. flexion of bicep with relaxed, casual mvmt without strength).
Eccentric: tone increases; mm length increases (ex. lifting something too heavy) - injuries often occur in this mvmt.
Isometric: tone increases, but mm length stays the same (ex. pushing hands together or trying to do a push up that has the push but no up).
When moving mm get labels:
Prime mover: mm major action (primary motion)
synergist (aganist): assist, help, stabilize
antagonist: always opposite prime mover
The prime mover must be relaxed for the antagonist to activate.
At this point we had an unrelated conversation about triglycerides, cholesterol, drug companies, diet/food vs. synthetic supplements, ear infections, and it's normal to have 2-3 headaches a year.
We closed with Mem p.136 - effects of aging on mm. If you don't use it you lose it.
Best of luck studying!

On Friday we will have a quiz!
The questions are:
-at least 5 physiological effects of massage
-at least 5 indications for massage
-4 physiological effects of effleurage
These were on two different handouts
Petrissage: gripping and lifting, stretching, squeezing, or rolling superficial tissue away from adjacent structure.

Review bones: spongy and compact bones are the 2 types of bone.
know epiphysis (ends)
red marrow makes RBC
Fat gives marrow its color?
Bone membrane: covered on outside except at jt.
periosteum:
-has osteoblast (bone;build) in that layer and it repairs bone and aids growth. It starts to multiply as embryo to make other bones. It's in periosteum until the body stops producing them, but the body reactivates if repair is needed but takes longer to heal.
-has blood vessels
-has lymphatic vessel
-nerve fibers (injury to bone is felt because of it)
-endosteum lines medullary cavity.
ossification is the process cartilage turns to bone.

H.W.
Mem p.125-6 (types of contraction to levers and boy mechanics)
Not due, but you can work on T.G. workbook
Body Awareness
We did baseline tests
Make notes in your Journal about changes in your body.
Keep your 3 strengths and weaknesses
Pick areas for you to work, focus, write on for final paper (not really sure where this one is going)
78% of MT are injured from work.

'You have to take responsibility'
Food vs. Nutrients
diet=nutritional status, not a plan
what you're consuming
People talk about cleanses-a cleanse takes 21 days, not quick 3 day thing
Assignment 1 is due in 2wks-the daily food intake form (please include weekend)
Quiz next week too
allergy: immune response (IgE response - a true allergy) Mostly environmental.
sensitivity: IgG, IgA (basically everything else). These are usually ingested with few exception: peanuts, shellfish ...
growing out of something- not really, just less sensitive or different response
grow into something - yes, or develop stronger sensitivity. Ex. latex, gluten
old dairy vs. young dairy
Always eat real butter and lots of it - Dr. Amy
ghee-clarified butter
You earn Type 2 diabetes!
80/20 rule: due the right thing for you 80% of the time
energy = cal. which is ability to do work
nutrients: build/repair body to do work
Nutrition: science of how the body uses food
Energy: ability to do work (every bite give energy, but not necessarily nutrients)
Calories: heat produced when food is burned (metabolism) or raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1degree C at sea level
Nutrients: chemicals your body uses to build, maintain, and repair tissue
Lactos: sugar in milk
70% of the immune system is the digestive tract
Macro nutrients: protein, fats, carbs, water (measured grams and oz.)
micro nutrients: vitamins and minerals (measured in micrograms)

The class is divided in two and I don't know if we'll have the same homework or assignments so nothing will be posted regarding that and I don't know how much can actually be posted for this class.
Anatomy
The Skeletal System-
Axial: the center of the skeleton; skull, spine, ribs, sacrum
Appendicular: everything else
Joint: point of contact between bones
3 types of jt
-fibrous: immoveable (synarthrosis, synarthrotic). No jt cavity, fiberous connective tissue b/w bones - ex. the sutures of the cranial bones
-cartilaginous: slightly moveable (amphiarthrosis, amphiarthrotic). No jt cavity, cartilage b/w bones - ex. pubic symphysis and vertebral jt (discs)
-synovial: freely moveable (diarthrosis, diarthrotic). Have jt cavity, contains synovial fluid.

"My religion is very simple, my religion is kindness" - Dali Lama
There was talk at the beginning of class about the Tappan book. Mostly about history of M. It was called Swedish gymnastics which dealt with range of motion and stretching.
Order of application when doing M.:
effleurage- warming/gliding
petrissage- gripping/lifting/squeezing
friction- deeper strokes/compressing (specific)
vibration- moving body/jostling
Swedish gymnastic- range of motion/stretching
tapotement- rhythmic percussion/relax or invigorate
nerve stroke- for of effleurage (light pressure)
Move from distal to proximal because of one way values on veins. Helps push the blood in the correct way with the values
massage
ground your self; both emotions and breath
Say hello and goodbye to the body part you are working on.
We went over proper draping of the leg
underwear on decides a persons comfort level
AND WE DID OUR FIRST EFFLEURAGE STROKE!!
Body Awareness
We all had different thoughts for what we believe body awareness is:
balance
posture
proper lifting
breathing
injury prevention
body language
self care
interact with environment
movement (mvmt)
centered
recognize/understand
resting
know limits/strengths
listening
spatial awareness
temperature
proactive
We also did standing body awareness and breathing exercise with having lengthy breaths (I also asked what we were doing because I had no idea what the numbers were about hahaha)
Have a separate journal to turn things in!
Anatomy
All test questions come from the book!
Know all the 'Regions of the Body' p20

Anatomical position is facing forward with palms facing forward too
Places of Movement:
Sagittal: divides body left and right and is reference for medial and lateral (midline and midsagittal are synonyms)
Frontal (coronal): divides front and back and is reference for posterior and anterior.
Transverse: upper and lower divisions of the body. Superior and inferior are other terms.
More terms:
Cranial: close to head
Caudal: close to buttock (these two only for the torso)
Posterior: back of body (less common name-dorsal)
Anterior: front of body (less common name-ventral)
Medial: closer to midline
Lateral: away from midline
Distal (distance): farther from trunk or midline
Proximal: closer to trunk (these two only for arms and legs)
Superficial: closer to surface
Deep: deeper in body
Movements of the Body:
Movement is at joints (articulation)
Flexion: bending joints by bringing bones together (fetal position is everything flexed)
Extension: opens joints; bones away
Hyperextension is mvmt beyond extension
Adduction: moving into the body (add to the body)
Abduction: moving out from the body
Medial rotation: (only shoulders and hips) comes toward midline
Lateral rotation: goes away from midline
Rotation: (only head and vertebral column)
Circumduction:(shoulders and hips only) involves flexion, extension, add/abduction
Laterflexion: (neck and spine)
elevation: up (scapula and mandible)
depression: down
Supination: (L. bent backwards) supine, on back (body and forearms)
Pronation: (L. bent forward) prone, on stomach
Side lying
Inversion: turns in (medial) (at the foot)
Eversion: turns out (lateral)
Planter flexion: point foot (pedal down)
Dorsiflexion: foot up (pedal up)
Protraction: jaw out (anterior glide)
Retraction: jaw back
Deviation: lateral deviation at jaw only
Opposition: only with thumb (bring thumb towards pinky)
This could be quite the quiz on Wednesday.
Homework for this class is p10-17 of Trail Guide
