When I decided to take the plunge into veganism, I anticipated some pitfalls. I thought I’d maybe lose my cool and dive headfirst into a pile of cheeseburgers, or maybe sneak some brie at a party. But the hardest part of going vegan hasn’t been cravings, which are surprisingly few and far between. For me, the social ramifications of going vegan were far more discouraging.

I inherited my love of avocados from my mom. When I was in high school, she showed me how to prepare one for guacamole: carefully whacking the pit with a hefty blade, twisting to remove, and then cutting a grid pattern into the flesh before scooping with a large spoon.

I’ve had a mountain of enquiries from people all over the world asking the same question:

“What is ‘the best exercise’ for my low back problem?”

Stand with your feet together. Keep your knees locked. Slowly bend forward and touch your toes. Can you reach them? If not, that means your hamstrings are too tight and they need stretching.

Wait. Not so fast.

Just because the hamstrings are tight doesn’t mean they need stretching. Always look deeper before stretching anything. There are many different reasons you can’t touch your toes. Let’s examine the issues.
