Glycemic Load - The measure of the density and digestion speed of carbohydrates (the glycemic index of a food multiplied by the amount of carbohydrates per serving). The goal of low carb eating is to keep the glycemic load low. Carrots, for example, even though they have a high glycemic index, have a much lower glycemic load than pasta because they are less carbohydrate-dense.
Legumes - plant food that is grown in a pod; for example peas and beans
Binge Eating - an eating disorder characterized by eating much more food than most people would eat in a given amount of time, and feeling that what is being eaten and how much is being eaten is out of the control of the person doing the eating
Blood pressure - Just like water pressure in your home's pipes. The pressure of the blood on the walls of the arteries
External obliques - muscles running diagonally downward and inward from the lower ribs to the pelvis that allow you to bend forward and twist at the waist. These lie on top of the internal obliques. The kayaking stroke uses these muscles much more than the arms
Stretching, static - Lengthening of muscles and soft tissues by reaching to the point where you must stop and holding. Safest method. Hold for 10-30 seconds.
Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) - the lipoprotein particles that initially leave the liver, carrying cholesterol and lipid
Vitamins - organic, essential nutrients required in small amounts and sometimes harmful in excessive amounts.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-28 Summary: Great for helping back pain as well ... We puchased this becuase a friend of ours (who has back issues) used this to help aleviate her back pain (by rolling back and forth several times once a day). So far it has definitly helped my wife. It is no magic fix, but seems to help allign stuff (note if you don't like your back cracking while rolling don't by this! ) I think we could have goten by with the shorter one, as somestimes it is hard to find a wide enough floor area to use this. But overall we have been very pleased with it. ...more
