PENSION TAKES TEETH TOLL, Extreme tension can in- fluence gum disease which _ takes a heavy toil of teeth, Tension is nat the direct cause of the disease, but it upsets the various body systems, leaving them yulnerable to infection. Studies have shawn that 50 per cent of males suffering gum disease had symptoms of some psychological disturbance. In women, the figure is higher, says the Canadian Dental_ ~ Association. Also, more persons living the . tense urban life: suffer from gum disease more than their country cousins, Students under pressure at exam time often contract Vincent's disease, an infectious condition in the mouth. Anxiety is blamed by doctors, ~—Frequent use of tranquilizers may dry out mouth tissues. This ‘makes the teeth more vulnerable to decay and the tissues ‘more susceptible to disease, Pent-up. feelings can’ also encourage canker sores. ‘and the unconscious gnashing of teeth. Tell your dentist if you are emstantly on edge or have any specific problem that could be treated psychologically. He — won't cure you of your hangups, but could show you what you are doing to the inside of your mouth through them. Perhaps then you'll take your mental problems for proper treatment.

LAMB — In. _ your column you advised a small lady to build some mus- cles, How do you do that? 1. am past 50, 5-foot-4 and only weigh 107, but have no stamina. " I exercise faithfully bul it gets no easier. If an exercise says to start out with five times and build up to 100 times, six months later I am still only able to do about 20 and each one is just as hard to do as the first week that 1 did it. [have no weight prob- lem but have had a protrud- ing tummy all my life and no exercise does anything about reducing it. DEAR READER — Your lack of stamina may be re- lated to other factors besides the size of your muscles. Lots ofsmall people are able to go and go, never seeming to tire. There is a difference in re- peating and repeating an ex- ercise, which we call en- durance exercises, and those that build muscles, which we call strength exercises. A long distance runner repeats the. same movements over and aver. A weight lifter may- lift the weight only a few. . times, he rests, and at regu- . lar intervals in his training the amount of weight he lifts . is gradual increased.” ; muscle will only ‘get: large enough to lift the size of load it is asked to lift. If your arms are not used to lifting heavy objects, moving them _ rapidly will not develop large or strong muscles, . There are numerous ways we'd like you andth “s ese Our disc brake has a fixed head with moving, pistan- type caliper mechanism for fastar, safer stopsin all weather conditions. .

Exercise helps _ to load a muscle to make it work harder. and harder, thereby enlarging and gain- ing in strength. Weight lifting is one example. : Many people do get some benefit out of contracting op- posing muscles, the isometric exercises.

Hold it a few seconds and relax the muscles, Repeat the exercise. {, prefer that, these -exer- cises be combined with mus- cle movement. You can do that by holding the arm fairly rigid and then, while the muscles are tense, moving the arm by bending the elbow and various movements. By moving the muscles while they are tense you put the stress on different muscle fibers and help to produce enlargement or increased strength in a more uniform way throughaut the muscle. oucan use this same prin- ciple for almost any muscle in the body, You can do it —-_ Losing Weight” boo! with your legs and thighs. ~ The combination of contract- ing and moving the muscles is a combination of what ex- ercise specialists call isotonic and isometric exercises, The isotonic exercises are those that involve movement. You can do valuntary mus- cle contractions of the ab- dominal muscles, including the lower abdominal mus- cles, while lying down, sitting or standing. Yau can also do leg lifts for that lower abda- men. Finally, don’t forget posture, A lot of people would not have as much problem, with the abdomen if they would just learn to hold their chests up and. not compress the abdomen. With the chest and shoulders up, rather than sfouched, and a conscious effort to hold the stomach muscles in, the problem is not 50 marked in many instances. - Send your questions to Dr. Lamb, in care of this newspa- per, P.O.
