 | | Senior Overcomes Chronic UTI Using Alternative Treatments | | A 70-year-old woman had recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) with primary symptoms of urethral irritation, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating. Although antibiotics provided temporary relief, symptoms rapidly returned after discontinuation, prompting her to seek traditional alternative therapies as a long-term solution. | | | |

Honest and Impartial Journalism Exists Today It’s nothing new that news organizations today tend to favor one side when reporting on politics and social issues. Naturally, readers from the opposite sides of the political spectrum are relying largely on sources that align with their own political views. The problem? People seldom get exposure to stories from other sides. Even though no one would ever deny the importance of staying objective, people are, involuntarily, trapped in their own bias. So does honest and impartial reporting still exist today? Is there a publication that values impartiality when reporting the news? The answer is right here— The Epoch Times believes in traditional journalism. Our reporters are required to get all sides of a story and allow someone who is being criticized to respond. They are guided by the highest code of conduct and ethics in their reporting. We are the kind of publication you have been looking for.

| Chair/Counter Pushups | Pushups are a classic exercise that can range from mild to wild. The traditional off-the-floor variety can be quite challenging and not readily available to everyone. Conversely, wall pushups can be significantly easier, and almost anybody can perform them. I find that the chair and counter pushups bridge these two extremes.
Both regular push-ups and chair push-ups involve aspects of the traditional plank movement and can be quite challenging. Start where you can and work up from there. If you find that you can do more than the recommended number, just be sure you maintain an adequate pace and do not rush.
Step 1: Stand in front of a stable chair or counter with your feet approximately shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on the edge of the chair/counter, then move your feet back until your entire body is angled about 45 degrees to the floor. You should feel your body weight loading onto your hands. Your arms should be straight and fully extended.
Step 2: Keep your head up and slowly bend your elbows to lower your upper body toward the chair/counter. Take one full second to perform the movement. Hold for one second, then push back up until your arms are straight. Take approximately 1 to 2 seconds to perform the movement in both directions.
Step 3: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
It should go without saying, but please don’t knock your head on anything. Kitchen sinks and cobras both tend to strike when you get too close.
If counter pushups are too easy, you can progress to chair pushups for more of a challenge. | | Explore More Fitness |
