Mini Protein "Ice Cream" Sandwiches

[vendela99]

If I have a dieting weakness it is easily sugar...Been trying to avoid all sweets lately so I came up with this recipe to get me through. I just pop a couple of these in my mouth every once in a while as a "treat." Taste nearly identical to an ice cream sandwich.


Mini Protein “Ice Cream” Sandwiches Recipe

1 scoop Chocolate flavor Whey Protein (I'm using Sci Fit Econo Whey)
6 tablespoons Sugar Free CoolWhip
1 100 calorie pack Chips Ahoy Thin Crisps

Mix the whey with the coolwhip until it takes on a gooey consistency similar to melted marshmallows. Using two Chips Ahoy Thin Crisps, make sandwiches with the mix in the middle. Freeze and eat. It's best to make these on a plate or cookie sheet so you can peel them off. If you make them on foil or saran wrap they may get stuck.

Right Choice: Surgery or Therapy?

Let's say you have osteoarthritis - perhaps the most common disorder of locomotors system. It is often treated with a surgical procedure to clean out debris in the joint, using a miniature scope inserted directly into the knee. But more and more researches emphasize fact that the surgery works, but no better than other treatments. Dr. Kalousek is a rheumatologist from Spa-resorts.cz points out - surgery doesn't stop the arthritic process.

For example American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) encourages patients to consider physical therapy as an alternative non-surgical option for treatment of osteoarthritis.

Doctor Kalousek confidences that beside therapeutic spa treatments everyone can protect own joints from osteoarthritis or for sure slow its progression simply by following recommendations:

-Reduce weight. Just remember that every kilogram lost reduces the load exerted on the knee for each step by 4 kilogram.

-Be active. Exercise strengthens the muscles around joints, which can prevent cartilage from wearing down.

-Stay straight. Good posture protects the neck, back, hip and knee joints.

-Don't stay immobile when sitting. Changing positions can reduce joint and muscle stiffness.

-Lift carefully. Use your biggest and strongest joints and muscles when lifting or carrying to avoid straining smaller joints.

-Break it up. Rest between phases of heavy activity to prevent repetitive stress on joints that can accelerate wear and tear.

In other words non-surgical therapy is a good alternative of surgical operation in many cases!
