A 30-SECOND SELF-TEST FOR SCIATICA

Do you have back pain or leg pain with standing or walking? Do you have a shooting pain in your leg when you stand up? Do you need to sit down for a minute for the pain to go away? Take this 30-second self- test to see if you might have sciatica:

1. Sit on a chair and keep good posture. 2. Straighten one of your legs out in front of you, while pointing your toes to the sky. Pay attention to how high your leg can go and if you have any pain, numbness, or tingling. 3. Place your leg back down to resting position, and repeat the same movement with the opposite leg.

What it means: If the leg with pain, numbness or tingling does not go up as high as the other leg, you likely have Sciatica.

A RECIPE TO BETTER HEALTH

Honey Garlic Shrimp

• 1/3 cup honey • 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce

• 1 lb medium uncooked shrimp, peeled & deveined • 2 tsp olive oil • chopped green onion as garnish

• 1 tbsp minced garlic • 1 tsp minced ginger

INSTRUCTIONS Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a medium bowl. Place shrimp in a large zipped-top bag or tupperware. Pour 1/2 of the marinade mixture on top, give it all a shake or stir, then allow shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator 15 minutes or for up to 8-12 hours. Cover and refrigerate the rest of the marinade. (Time-saving tip: while the shrimp is marinating, steam broccoli and microwave quick brown rice). Next, Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in the skillet. Discard used marinade. Cook shrimp on one side until pink– about 45 seconds--then flip shrimp over. Pour in remaining marinade and cook until shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more. Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent on brown rice and steamed veggies on the side.
