National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month!

June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, a great time to consider if you're including enough fruits and vegetables in your eating plan. Here are easy ways to add more fruits and vegetables: ? Wake up to fruit: make a habit of adding fruit Ófresh, frozen or dried Óto your morning oatmeal, ready-to-eat cereal, yogurt or toaster waffle. ? Stock up: Fill your fridge with raw vegetables and fruits Ó"nature's fast food" Ócleaned, fresh and ready to eat. ? "Sandwich" in fruit and vegetables: Add pizzazz to sandwiches with sliced pineapple, apple, peppers, cucumbers and tomato as fillings. ? Top your pizza with lots of veggies. Try broccoli, spinach, green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and zucchini. Fruits and vegetables are a great way to get the most nutrition out of your calories. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients. Just beware of portion sizes. Even low-calorie foods can add up when portions are larger than you need. For more tips on adding more fruits and vegetables onto the plate of even the pickiest eater, visit the Eat Right Nutrition Tips page at http://www.eatright.org/Public/content.aspx?id=206 and consult a registered dietitian in your area.

Prevent ACL Injuries with D.A.R.T.

The number of ACL injuries is on the rise. Many factors influence non-contact ACL injuries and research has shown that these factors are more commonly found in females. Poor hamstring to quadriceps ratio, decreased muscle mass, slower muscle recruitment and improper knee to ankle alignment found in females all lead to weaker and less efficient deceleration skills. Although certain factors cannot be changed, it is extremely important to address any weaknesses and imbalances that are present. Viverant has developed D.A.R.T. (3 Dimensional Agility Reactive Training) to combat weakness and bio-mechanical inefficiencies in the athlete. D.A.R.T. appropriately prepares any athlete for the challenges of their sport. It is a biweekly, 6 week ACL injury prevention program. Is it designed and instructed by physical therapists at Viverant. Focus will be on proper form and muscle recruitment during all exercise performance. To allow the ACL to function optimally and prevent abnormal stresses through the knee it is essential that we receive help from the muscles and joints that surround it. Realizing how crucial it is that our ? 'friends (for example, the hip, thoracic spine and foot) help with our knee function, we must train the entire body. We developed this total body, three dimensional approach to allow the ACL and surrounding structures to function together optimally. This ACL program is different, as we train the athlete to be strong, successful and bio-mechanically efficient in all three planes of motion. The athletes will learn to properly decelerate their body during their sport or activity. The exercises are meant to challenge the athlete with three dimensional lower extremity, upper extremity and core movements. This three dimensional, total body approach is implemented through a progression of warm up, strength, endurance, plyometric and flexibility exercises. Incorporated throughout this program, athletes will receive specific, comprehensive deceleration and jump technique training. D.A.R.T. allows the athlete to train the entire body for the demands of any sport or activity, therefore reducing the risk for ACL injuries and improving their performance on the field or court.
