Worst advice sites on the net?
You see a lot of "best sites" touted on the net - but many of them consist just of sponsored links, some of them offering the least advice with the most words ever.
1. Among these, the worst is probably a site offering a wonder cure for hypertension, with thousands of testimonials and a really scary story of how the author's father dropped dead at 47. Your doctor doesn't want you to know about the real cure, he warns. Well, a dozen click-throughs and a steady rise in your BP later, it is obvious that he won't divulge it either, unless you download his e-book for a fortune.
2. Found a site with exercises for back spasm yesterday. (Had to access it typing with one finger while clinging to the desk with the other hand.) The exercises look quite sensible - until you get to the caution to "warm up beforehand, by (among others) jogging for ten minutes." Something makes me think this guy doesn't have personal experience of the condition...
3. You have all sorts of diets on the net. Here is one which most of us should probably not try at home:
The ketogenic diet:
18 g of 36% heavy whipping cream, 17 g sour cream, 4 g strawberries and artificial sweetener.
22 g minced (ground) beef, 10 g American cheese, 26 g butter, 38 g cream, 10 g lettuce and 11 g green beans.
25 g of 36% heavy whipping cream, 9 g egg and pure vanilla flavouring.

The best diet is low carb low fat. Keep your protein as lean as possible and avoid heavy starches and sugars. Quantity regulates itself after a few weeks.
IE You feel less hungry.

On April 8, 2003, at age 72, Dr. Atkins slipped on the ice while walking to work, hitting his head and causing bleeding around his brain. He lost consciousness on the way to the hospital, where he spent two weeks in intensive care. His body deteriorated rapidly and he suffered massive organ failure. During this time, his body apparently retained an enormous amount of fluid. His death certificate states that the cause of death was "blunt impact injury of head with epidural hematoma."Anniyan wrote:Yeah Dr.Atkins died of Atkins diet.

If he hadn't skipped his carbs, he would have had the energy not to go stumbling around on ice . . . he would have been in the pit with juicy piece of arse . . .

Re: Worst advice sites on the net?
This exercise from the same back pain advice page sounds pretty confusing:
Actually, a doctor once explained more or less the same thing to my mum much more concisely and to the point: "Pussy in, pussy out." (I'll concede that maybe the author knew the description but thought it a bit inappropriate - and distracting - to the jock readership he had in mind. Somehow substituting the word with the male equivalent suggests an altogether different exercise. )
A. Now, a key, key point: 'tuck' your pelvis. This basically means
rotating your pelvic girdle by pushing the lower part of your pelvic
area toward the ground while the upper part of the pelvis rotates away
from the ground. Your hip area doesn't actually come any closer to the
ground (your whole body should be in a fairly straight line from your
toes up to your shoulders). When you 'tuck', you are just rotating your
pelvis, not moving it up or down. If you were standing, you would be
directing the lower part of your pelvis forward and pulling the top
part of your pelvic girdle backward.
