The right pillow can make a BIG difference.

An orthopedic pillow is a pillow designed to correct body positioning in bed or while lying in any other surface. Its design conforms to orthopedic guidelines to ensure the right placement and support of one or more specific parts of the body to provide safe and healthy rest to the sleeper.

Engineering pillows to help people get a good night's sleep is at the heart of Core Products' mission. Instead of chasing trends (a memory foam pillow may not be right for everyone), we tailor each pillow design to fit one or more of the three stages of care identified in our TriCare Circle of Health and are recommended by health care professionals who treat neck pain and recommend pillows to help remedy it.

Every one of Core's wide range of pillows is made from quality fiber and/or foam – the AquaCore you fill with water to your comfort level. Many are offered in a range of firmness, sizes and prices. And each is clearly labeled to help you and your health care professional decide which is best for you. 

The orthopedic pillow described herein can be made of various resilient materials which provide support as well as a comfortable cushion, such as polyurethane foam. The shape of this invention is generally rectangular, however, the size of the pillow can vary as desired.

Now neck pain pillow Are Designed for Proper Neck Support and Alignment.

Orthopedic Pillow promotes back or side sleeping while providing neck and back pain treatment.

By incorporating two shapes into one pillow, our Orthopedic Pillow allows you to sleep on your back or side with the correct neck alignment.

Compare the Orthopedic Pillow to regular pillows. With regular pillows, sleeping on your back with no firm support, your head is prone to being pushed forward. Your neck is then stretched out of alignment. This creates neck, back and shoulder pain, plus headaches as well as increasing the chances of snoring. When sleeping on your side with a regular pillow your neck and head are too easily stretched out of alignment because a traditional pillow is not high enough. Also, your spine is not kept level and this aggravates neck, back and shoulder problems.

The risk of dehydration is particularly great in babies, children and the elderly. Because of this danger it’s very important to treat them immediately. Any case of dehydration has the potential to become a life-threatening situation.

Some of the more visible signs of dehydration include thirst, dark colored urine, lethargy or unexplained tiredness, dizziness, lack of tears when crying (mostly in children), headache, or blood in stool (mostly in children). You can also experience dehydration if you’re not drinking enough while doing strenuous activities.

When people become dehydrated as a result of illness or prolonged periods outdoors in the heat, it’s possible to use home remedies for treatment. However, these remedies should not replace immediate medical help when necessary.

Some options available to you are:

One of the most commonly asked questions in relation to health and exercise is also one with many more factors to consider than you may think: How much should I drink?

For quite some time, there was a universal answer of eight servings (consisting of eight fluid ounces) per day. Many people reach for this goal when considering their daily water intake.

The actual amount of water you are advised to drink is dependent upon different factors. Age, environment, level of activity and gender are all items to take into account when making the calculation of water intake.

In accordance to these new standards a healthy adult man should be drinking thirteen cups of water per day. For adult women who are also healthy, around nine cups are recommended over the same period of time. Determining factors for these amounts take into account the amount of water a person loses through excretions during the day, along with what is needed regarding bodily functions.

One of the problems with family time is that there’s not enough time for it.  A family bike ride gives the family time to bond and provides a bit of exercise for the entire group.  Learn how to be safe during this family fun outing.

Bike riding can be a great experience for families.  It is much faster than walking and you can concentrate on the sights as you ride.  Bikes are almost like cars in that you can have a back seat for the little one if you need it and there are several different models to choose from.  

If your family has trouble getting exercise, a family bike ride is one way to accomplish that.  Not only will your heart rate increase as you pedal up and down hills, but your lower body gets the workout of a lifetime.  Larger muscles are always the hardest to reshape.  Bike riding challenges those muscles with each rotation.
