How to Pick the Right Pair of Running Shoes

Written by Robb Ksiazek

Are you ready to start a new healthy habit of running or a seasoned runner looking to replace an old pair of shoes? Either way, it is very important to buy repparttar right pair of shoes for you – not necessarily repparttar 150504 ones that are repparttar 150505 most technically advanced or on repparttar 150506 sale rack!

At least for me, it is so tempting to hit repparttar 150507 sale rack when I begin my search for new shoes. It kills me to spend anymore than I absolutely have to, but with running shoes, I have found, it is one thing to not spare any expense. Finding a great pair of running shoes is sure to save most people money with comfort and safety. Finding a pair for $49 does not do a lot of good if you hurt your knee repparttar 150508 next day!

There are so many brands and styles of shoes that it’s hard to know where to start when you walk into a retailer. If you’re not sure where to start in repparttar 150509 process, note repparttar 150510 techniques listed below for finding repparttar 150511 perfect shoe for your needs.

Find Your Foot Type:

Figure out how you run (outside of your foot, outside to inside, or straight down repparttar 150512 middle). The easiest way to determine how you run is to look at an old pair of running shoes. If repparttar 150513 shoe is worn on repparttar 150514 outside of repparttar 150515 heel and rolls inward excessively, you have a pronated foot type – repparttar 150516 majority of repparttar 150517 population (60%) fits into this category. You’re more likely to have this foot type if you are flat footed.

If you have high arches, your foot is rigid and doesn’t pronate (roll inward) so there is not an effective shock absorber. Roughly 30% of repparttar 150518 population has high-arched or supinated foot types.

If you land on repparttar 150519 outside of your heel and roll inward slightly to absorb shock, you are of normal weight, you are considered repparttar 150520 most sound (biomechanically) runner. Only about 10% of repparttar 150521 population has neutral/ideal feet.

Tips for Your Trip to Shoe Store:

Examine your old shoes for tread wear.

Socks are important. Wear your running socks when you try on.

If your feet are different sizes, buy for repparttar 150523

larger one.

Shoes with better breathability will help curb sweating.

Grooves in repparttar 150524

sole offer more flexibility.

Flat feet need support rather than flexibility.

If you tend to overpronate, look for shoes that will lace higher up so you can better customize repparttar 150525

fit of

shoe.

Shoe should feel comfortable right way – they don’t need to be broken in.

A Brief Overview Of Colitis

Written by Kirsten Whittaker

Colitis, more formally known as Ulcerative Colitis, is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It can be difficult to diagnose because of repparttar

similarity of symptoms to other intestinal disorders and IBDs such as Crohn's disease. The main difference is that Crohn's disease causes inflammation deeper within repparttar 150471

intestinal wall and usually occurs in repparttar 150472

small intestine, although it can occur anyway along repparttar 150473

digestive tract from mouth to anus, whereas Colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in repparttar 150474

lining of

large intestine. The inflammation is usually found in repparttar 150476

rectum and lower portion of repparttar 150477

colon, but it can effect repparttar 150478

entire colon.

Colitis can affect people of any age, but generally symptoms start between 15 and 30. Children and teenagers sometimes develop repparttar 150479 disease but it is less common, as are sufferers over 50. The inflammation within repparttar 150480 intestines causes diarrhea, as repparttar 150481 colon empties more frequently. Ulcers appear where repparttar 150482 inflammation has killed repparttar 150483 cells lining repparttar 150484 colon, which then bleed and produce pus.

Like Crohn’s disease, repparttar 150485 cause of Colitis has yet to be determined. The current thinking is that it’s a reaction by repparttar 150486 immune system to a virus or bacterium. People suffering with colitis tend to have abnormal immune systems, but what is unclear is whether this is repparttar 150487 cause or an effect of repparttar 150488 disease. It has been proven, however that Colitis is not caused by stress or through food allergies, however these factors may in fact be a trigger for some people already suffering with repparttar 150489 disease.
