COQ10<br />
RELIEVES<br />
FIBROMYALGIA<br />
PAIN<br />
Known for its heart-health<br />
benefits, CoQ10 can also help<br />
relieve pain from fibromyalgia.<br />
In a study of patients taking<br />
a fibromyalgia drug, adding<br />
CoQ10 to the regimen brought<br />
greater relief of pain than the<br />
drug alone, and the supplement<br />
improved internal antioxidant<br />
production.<br />
Counteracts the early formation<br />
of fine lines and wrinkles<br />
to give eyes a youthful glow.<br />

The Best Type of<br />
Stretching<br />
Confused about how to stretch? It all<br />
depends on whether you’re stretching<br />
before or after a workout, says Cat Kom,<br />
fitness trainer and founder of studiosweatondemand.com.<br />
Here’s what<br />
she recommends:<br />
Before a workout: Do dynamic stretching,<br />
meaning movements that warm up<br />
muscles while elongating them, as well<br />
as warming up joints and connective<br />
tissue. For example, march in place while<br />
swinging your arms and lifting your<br />
knees up high.<br />
After a workout: Do static stretching. This<br />
is what we usually think of as a “stretch.”<br />
Whether it’s lying on your back and extending<br />
your arms and legs or bending over to feel<br />
the stretch in your buttocks, be gentle and<br />
hold the stretch for at least 20 seconds.<br />
Kom compares static<br />
stretching with cold<br />
muscles to stretching a<br />
frozen rubber band—it can<br />
hurt your muscle fibers.
