Rapid Weight Loss Techniques

2010-06-02T02:25:00.001-05:00

Other than physical appearance weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical incapabilities. There are a lot of positive changes once a person experience weight loss. It is for this reason why a lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will surely trim down those fats and get a super slim head turner body.

The first thing that an over-weight should do is seek a doctor to recommend the best weight loss regimen. This will be done after a full physical examination, which leads to the determination of proper weight loss technique. And to lose weight fast and effectively four aspects of life should be changed: what to eat, how to eat, behavior and activity level.

Here are fast tips that can change an over-weight's life:

First: Fast weight loss composes of a multi-faceted technique that consists mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Begin by learning a diet food plan that can easily be accustomed with. Incorporate an exercise plan that allows even at least fifteen minutes a day like brisk walking, running, swimming, and dancing.

Second: Set realistic approaches. The ability to focus and have proper mindset enables someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. With discipline and proper mind set, a dieter will never be discouraged and lose focus.

Third: Listen as the body speaks. Each and everyone's body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body's reaction. Exercise program must be suitable to one's body, as others are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk for this is proven the best exercise. Muscles burn more calories than fats so it's also best to put on a little muscle and looking good too.

Fourth: Eat more fibers for it makes a person full sooner and stays in the tummy longer, slowing down the rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar that spikes the body's insulin level. Thus, making the body more energized and ready to tell the body when it should stop burning fats or start storing.

Fifth: Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a great amount of fat. Although fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when a beef is fried. It is recommended for those on strict diet to opt for grilled food as this does not have or contain less amount of fat after the food is cooked.

Sixth: Takes lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body refreshed. Since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated.

All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and the key to a rapid weight loss success. Light dieting, workout, and right amount of supplementation applied in a regular way everyday will result in faster weight loss than having a massive action only to be followed a return to old habits as this would only lead to gaining more weight than when the weight loss plan has started.

The Facts About Oily Skin Care

2010-05-08T19:15:00.003-05:00

To start the discussion on oily skin care, it’s imperative to first understand the cause behind oily skin. Put simply, oily skin is a result of excessive production of sebum (an oily substance that is naturally produced by skin). As is known to everyone, excess of everything is bad; so excessive sebum is bad too. It leads to clogging of skin pores, resulting in accumulation of dead cells and hence formation of pimples/acne. Moreover, oily skin spoils your looks too. So, ‘oily skin care’ is as important as the ‘skin care’ for other types of skin.

The basic aim of ‘oily skin care’ is the removal of excessive sebum or oil from the skin. However, oily skin care procedures should not lead to complete removal of oil. ‘Oily skin care’ starts with the use of a cleanser. However, not all cleansers will work. You need a cleanser which contains salicylic acid i.e. a beta-hydroxy acid that retards the rate of sebum production. Cleansing should be done twice a day (and even more in hot and humid conditions).

Most of the oily skin care products are oil-free; however, it is always good to check the ingredients of the product, before you actually buy it. This is especially important if a product is marked as ‘suitable for all skin types’, instead of ‘oily skin care product’. ‘Oily skin care’ is also dependent on the degree of oiliness, if you aren’t too oily, so some of these ‘suitable for all’- type of products might be work for you too. For extremely oily skin, only oily skin care products are suitable. Your oily skin care routine can include an alcohol based toner (for an extremely oily skin). This can be the second step in your oily skin care routine i.e. just after cleansing. However, excessive toning can harm your skin.

The next step in your oily skin care routine can be a mild moisturizer. Again, the degree of oiliness of your skin will determine whether you need to include this in your oily skin care routine. If you do decide to include a moisturizer, be sure to use one that is oil-free, wax-free and lipid-free.
You could also use a clay mask (say once a week) as an oily skin care measure.

As far as the oily skin care products go, you might need to try out a few before you arrive at the one that is really suitable for your skin.

In case these measures don’t give you the desired result, consult a good dermatologist for advice. He could prescribe stronger oily skin care products like vitamin A creams, retinoids, sulphur creams etc , which can help counter the problems of oily skin.

Sports Fitness: Fun Way to be Healthy

2010-04-08T17:31:00.000-05:00

Sports Fitness:

When you talk about sports fitness, what comes first in your mind? It is, basically, the different sports activities, right? This is because sports fitness has always been referred to as the sports itself.

Generally, sports entail physical activities that are usually carried out for some “recreational” functions such as self-satisfaction, entertainment, competition, etc. It uses physical activity that is why most fitness experts regard sports as one way of staying fit and healthy. It can also be considered as one way of physical fitness; the only difference is that sports fitness is more inclined to the development of skill or ability.

However, like physical fitness, sports fitness is also capable of toning down the body fats of a person. Because of its rigid and strict health program, a sports enthusiast is able to maintain a well-balanced lifestyle in order to cope up with the strenuous demands of sports.

In sports, people should learn how to value their health. Otherwise, they can never endure the kind of energy that is required when playing sports activities.

Therefore, for people whoa re into sports fitness, here are some tips that you could use in order to stay healthy and be active on whatever sports you want to pursue:

1. Drinks lots of water

Humans can survive days, or even months without food, but they can never last a day without water.

Water is, indeed, the most important element needed by the body. Excessive perspiration, without any means of replenishing the lost fluids will result to serious health problems, and even death.

Therefore, for people who are into strenuous exercises and trainings, it is best to always drink lots of water.

However, for sports enthusiasts, water may not be enough to replace the kind of fluid lost. Hence, it would be better if they would have sports drinks instead. Aside from the fluid, sports drinks have tow additional important ingredients needed by a person who is into sports fitness: carbohydrates and electrolytes.

Electrolytes are usually lost during strenuous physical activity, and this can only be replaced through sports drinks. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are also needed by the body during rigid workouts to provide more energy so that the body can cope up to the demands of the activity.

2. More veggies!

People who are into sports fitness require more intakes of vegetables and fruits. This is because the body is craving for more vitamins and mineral supplements. It makes the body stronger and healthier enabling it to cope up with demands of the activity.

3. Calcium intake

People who are into sports fitness should have calcium present on their diet. This is to provide stronger bones to the body.

Since the body is more exposed to greater physical activities, it is important to have stronger bones in order to avoid fractures or certain bone diseases like “osteoporosis.”

Calcium can be found in different vitamin and mineral supplements. They are also abundant in foods like sardines, tofu, dairy products, etc.

4. Warm exercises are always important before any kind of strenuous activities.

This kind of activity is needed in order not to strain the body. Hence, before playing the sports that you have always love, it is best to do some warm-up exercises first.

Indeed, engaging into sports activities is one great way of being physically fit. The best thing about it is that in sports, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds.

A Guide To Vitamin "D"

2010-02-18T17:23:00.001-06:00

The D vitamin is the only vitamin that is not obtained from foods that are consumed. Instead, the D vitamin is actually obtained by sunlight on the skin. There has been a lot of media coverage about the dangers of getting too much sun but it is essential that the skin is exposed to sunlight to obtain the recommended daily allowance of the D vitamin. In reality, the amount of time that a person has to spend in the sun to receive a sufficient dose of the D vitamin is extremely small and just a few minutes a day will be sufficient and not have any adverse effects from the amount of ultra-violet light received.

The most important function of the D vitamin is to help control how much calcium is absorbed from food. The majority of the calcium is used to build strong teeth and bones but it is also needed to send messages along the nerves and to help muscles, such as the heart muscles, to contract. It is the D vitamin that ensures that there is always sufficient calcium in the blood to perform these tasks. Other functions that require the D vitamin relate to the immune system and it is believed that it is also a contributing factor in reducing the risk of contracting cancer and, in particular, colon cancer.

The variant of the D vitamin that is formed under the skin is known as vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol. This D vitamin is created when the ultraviolet in the sunlight reacts with a type of cholesterol that is found under the skin naturally. The D3 is converted into a more active form of the d vitamin in the liver and is then diverted to where it is needed the most. Some of the D vitamin remains in the liver and kidneys to help reabsorb the calcium from the blood. The rest of the D vitamin is dispersed to the bones to help them retain their calcium and the intestines to aid absorption of calcium from food.

Even though the majority of the D vitamin is formed through the exposure of the skin to sunlight there are some foods that do contain some of the vitamin naturally. This form of the D vitamin is known as vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol. This is used in the same way as the other D vitamins and is the type used to create the majority of D vitamin supplements.

Free Weight Loss Programs...

2009-08-14T22:09:00.005-05:00

Free Weight Loss Programs:

The race to fitness is on and a lot of people are getting into the band wagon. Some people do it to achieve a sexy body, some people just do it because they are embarrassed with the body they have now, while others do it simply to remain fit and heatlthy. As such, many fitness programs are out in the internet, in gyms, spas and fitness centers all over. Some are too expensive to afford that one may even lose weight just by trying to work out the money needed to pursue these fitness programs...lol...

One may not have to go to the gym or the spa or any fitness center and spend much just to slim down to obtain that longed for sexy body. There are many books available in the bookstore which offer weight loss programs which are convenient and for free, of course the books are not though. These weight loss programs, or diet plans are gaining immense popularity with so much publicity, testimonials and reviews that one may be confused which exactly to follow. So before choosing which weight loss plan to follow, try reading these summaries about the most popular diet programs out today.

Atkins' New Diet Revolution by Dr. Atkins: This weight loss program encourages high protein diet and a trim down on the carbs. One can feast on vegetables and meat but should fast on bread and pasta. One is also not restricted against fat intake so it is okay to pour in the salad dressing and freely spread on the butter. However, after the diet, one may find himself lacking on fiber and calcium yet high in fat. Intake of grains and fruits are also limited.

Carbohydrate Addict's Diet by Drs. Heller: This diet plan advocates low carbohyrate eating. Approves on eating meats, vegetables and fruits, dairy and grain products. however, warns against taking in too much carb. "Reward" meal can be too high on fats and saturated fats.
Choose to Lose by Dr. Goor. Restrains fat intake. One is given a "fat" budget and he is given the liberty on how to spend it. It does not pressure the individual to watch his carbohydrate intake.
Eating meat and poultry as well as low-fat dairy and seafoods is okay. A go signal is also given on eating vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta. This weight loss plan is fairly healthy, good amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as saturated fats. Watch triglyceride levels though; if high, trim down the carbohydrates and tuck in more of the unsaturated fats.

The DASH Diet: Advocates moderate amounts of fat and protein intake and high on carbs. Primarily designed to lower blood pressure, the diet plan follows the pyramid food guide and encourages high intake of whole wheat grains as well as fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy. Some dieters think it advocates too much eating to procure significant weight loss.

Eat More, Weigh Less by Dr. Ornish: Primarily vegetarian fare and strictly low-fat. Gives the go signal on the "glow" foods but warns to watch it on non-fat dairy and egg whites. This diet is poor in calcium and retricts consumption of healthy foods like seafoods and lean poultry.

Eat Right for Your Type: Interesting because it is based on the person's blood type. recommends plenty of mest for people with the blood type O. Diet plans for some blood types are nutritionally imbalanced and too low in calories. And for the record, there is even no proof that blood type affects dietary needs.

The Pritkin Principle: Focused on trimming the calorie density in eating by suggesting watery foods that make one feel full. Eating vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, pasta, soups, salads and low-fat dairy is okay. Although limits protein sources to lean meat, pseafood and poultry. Although it is healthy by providing low amounts of saturated fats and rich amounts of vegetables and fruits, it is also low on calcium and limits lean protein sources.

Volumetrics: For low-density calorie eating. Recommends the same foodstuff as Pritkin but restricts fatty or dry foods like popcorn, pretzels and crackers. This plan is reasonably healthy given the high amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as being low in calorie density and saturated fats.

The Zone: Moderately low on the carbs yet moderately high on the proteins. Encourages low-fat protein foods like fish and chicken plus veggies, fruits and grains. It is also healthy but lacking in grains and calcium.

Weight Watchers: High carbohydrates, moderate on fats and proteins. A very healthy diet plan and very flexible too. It allows the dieter to plan his own meal rather than give him a set to follow.

Pointers on Losing Weight Safely

2009-03-24T14:56:00.002-05:00

Losing Weight Safely

People who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all, think about reducing the amount of food they eat. This may be quite a solution but not exactly the best there is. In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to one's health. So how does one lose weight effectively and safely? Here are some points one should consider when trying to lose weight:

Beware of the Crash Diets

Most people think that trimming down the calories can alone shed off their unwanted excess. Probably this is because of the fad there is in advertising about low-calorie food products and beverages. What people don't know is that this could be dangerous because when they decrease their calorie intake way to below the required levels, the body begins to digest the fats. Sounds good but it doesn't actually. Burning fat requires a lot of energy. Since there is not much energy in the body to facilitate metabolism of fat, it will run at a very slow pace resulting to fatigue, illness and weak immune system.

Low-calorie diet is also compensated for by the body by burning muscle. People on this type of diet who revert back to their old eating habits end up gaining back some, if not all the weight they have shed off. This would consist mainly of fats. And since fats have more volume per mass than muscle, they end up having the same weight as before but more bulkier. In losing weight, one should keep in mind that they should lose excess body fats only.
However, one can try out eating small meals at more frequent intervals. This way the body will not think that it is being starved and will not store food as fat.

Eat Properly

One may have considered junking the crash diet option but he should also not forget to watch what he is eating. Variety must always be considered so that one may be able to get the necessary nutrients from his diet.It is also healthier to eat food which are roasted, steamed or broiled rather than fried. It is also important to include a lot of fiber in the diet. Frequent rehydration is also necessary.

Pump Up lean Muscle Mass

Muscles burn calories when they work; they even do so at rest. Unlike fats which just lie around, bulge around the pants and dangle beneath the sleeves, muscles burn calories all-day round. With this fact, one can start weight loss by increasing muscle mass. The more muscles, the less fat will be left. This is attainable starting with working out with resistance exercises.

Engaging in Aerobics

Aerobics are not only good for the heart by increasing cardio-vascular endurance. Aerobics also help in increasing lean muscle mass while simultaneously decreasing excess body fat. Aside from these, aerobics make the metebolic process more efficient and its rate high, even after a long while. Imagine burning fat efficiently while driving along the freeway or even while watching television.

Extra "Push"

Some people believe that smoking and caffeine can actually help in losing weight. This can perhaps be true; however, they do the body more harm than good because of their side-effects. For that extra "push", one can try out taking food supplements. Afterall, 95% of these products out in the market actually does good.

On Taking Diet Pills

Over-the-counter diet pills affect the amount of weight one loses as well as how long one keeps that amount of weight off. However, one must be wary of the side-effects of these diet pills. As such, one must faithfully follow the instructions provided for in the packaging. It is also prudent to consult the physician anyway before trying out these drugs and also to find out which type would be best for the individual.

Losing weight does not have to mean sacrifice and suffering. It actually means opening up to a more full and healthy life where one may not have to feel bad about himself having to look the way he does or not being able to do what he wants to do. Losing weight might entail a little adjustments plus the discomforts, but as the old saying goes, "no pain, no gain." Besides fat, what has one got to lose anyway?

The Recipe For Dry Skin Care

2008-11-29T12:18:00.000-06:00

The recipe for dry skin care:

Dry skin cannot be ignored. Dry skin leads to cracking of the upper layer of skin and gives it a real bad appearance. The main causes of dry skin include: dry climate, hormonal changes, too much exfoliation and treatment of other skin disorders. Moreover, dryness could be the inherent nature of one’s skin. Whatever be the cause, ‘dry skin care’ is very important (but not very difficult).

‘Dry skin care’ starts with moisturisers, the most effective remedy for dry skin. Generally moisturisers are classified under 2 categories based on the way they provide ‘dry skin care’.
The first category includes moisturisers that provide ‘dry skin care’ just by preserving the moisture within the skin e.g. Vaseline. These moisturisers are relatively inexpensive and are readily available (even at grocery shops).

The second category includes moisturisers that work by drawing moisture from the environment and supplying it to the skin. This is a very effective way of ‘dry skin care’ in humid conditions. The moisturisers that provide ‘dry skin care’ in this way are also called humectants. For proper dry skin care, you must use a non-greasy type of moisturiser, as far as possible. Humectants fall in this category. The ingredients of humectants include propylene glycol, urea, glycerine, hyaluronic acid etc...

‘Dry skin care’ is not about just using moisturisers but also using them properly. The best ‘dry skin care procedure’ is to cleanse the skin before the application of moisturiser. You can make your ‘dry skin care’ even more effective by applying the moisturiser while the skin is still damp (after cleansing). Also, make sure that you use soap-free products (especially on your face, neck and arms). Exfoliation does help in dry skin care, by removing the dead skin cells. However, don’t exfoliate too hard. Your dry skin care procedures/products should also take care of sun protection. Avoid too much and too direct exposure to sun (simply by using an umbrella/hat etc). Use a good sunscreen lotion before going out. A lot of moisturisers provide sun protection too, along with dry skin care.

You also have natural products for ‘dry skin care’ i.e. products that provide ‘dry skin care’ in a natural way (without the use of synthetic chemicals). These dry skin care products supply lipid enhancements to the skin, hence enabling moisture retention within the skin. Another, important thing for ‘dry skin care’ is the temperature of water you use for shower or for washing your face – Use warm water; too hot or too cold water can cause dryness too.

‘Dry skin care’ is also about being gentle with your skin. You should avoid harsh detergents and alcohol based cleansers. Also, after a face wash, do not rub your towel on your face, just pat gently to soak the water off.

On the whole, dry skin care is really simple for anyone who takes that seriously.

Mary

Mens Skin Care

2008-10-02T17:10:00.000-05:00

"Mens skin care" would seem like an alien topic to some men. It would have been even more alien a few years back. However, more and more men are now realising the importance of man skin care (and hence you see markets flushed with mens skin care products too). Even though the male skin is very different from that of a female, ‘mens skin care’ is very similar to the skin care for women.

Mens skin care also starts with cleansing. Water soluble cleansers are preferred. Cleansing helps remove the dirt, grease and pollutants from the skin and helps in preventing pore clogging. The inherent oily nature of male skin makes cleansing an important part of man skin care procedure. Cleansing should be done at least once every day, even better if it is done twice a day. Using soap on the face is discouraged.

Although for mens skin care revolves a lot around shaving. Shaving foam/gel/cream and after shave lotion are a couple of the most important skin care products for men. This requires a proper selection of shaving related equipment and products. One of the main considerations in choosing shaving products should be the skin type (since the degree of oiliness differs from person to person). Alcohol-based aftershaves should be avoided. Proper ‘ skin care’ also mandates the use of good quality razors. I hear swivel-head razors are preferred since they are known to reduce cuts. Besides these products and equipment, it is also necessary that you use them properly. Be gentle when using your razor. Do not scratch it against your skin; use a soft and smooth action (after all it’s a matter of removing hair, not the skin itself).

Male skin is generally thicker and oilier, owing to larger pores and more active sebaceous glands. However, due to regular shaving, the skin can get dehydrated quite easily. Hence moisturisers too form an integral part of man skin care. Moisturising gel or cream should be applied after shaving. In fact, some shaving foams/ gel have an in-built moisturising effect too. Moisturisers should be patted gently over the face and massaged gently using upward strokes.

Though a man’s skin is less susceptible to skin cancer caused by UV radiation, using a sunscreen is also an important factor in mens skin care. You can use a moisturiser that combines sunscreen with the moisturising effect.

Another good option for mens skin care is to use skin care products which have natural ingredients like aloe vera, sea salt, and coconut etc. Naturally antiseptic oils e.g. lavender, tea tree etc... also provides good means for mens skin care.

Skin care for men is not as difficult as a lot of men think. It just asks for a few minutes each day, in order to give you a healthy skin for the present, and for the future.

Lotions Verses Skin Care Creams

2008-08-19T17:08:00.000-05:00

There is no dearth of skin care creams and lotions in the market. Name an ailment, and you will find hundreds of skin care creams, lotions and other products for it. As a result of on going research and due to ever increasing demand, the number of skin care products seem to be on the increase. Skin care lotions and skin care creams are the most popular forms in which these products are available, and there always seems to be a debate on which form is better?

Well, there is no definitive answer to this. It seems more like a matter of personal choice. However, greasy creams are surely less popular as compared to the non-greasy (or less greasy) ones. Since the application of skin care creams is easier, they seem to be preferred (over lotions) in cases where the skin care product is not to be removed immediately after application.

So, skin care creams seem more popular as moisturisers than as cleansers or toners. For toners, lotions seem to be preferred over skin care creams. There are some skin care creams that act as toners too, but generally the toners are available in liquid form only. For cleansing, lotions and skin care creams are equally popular; however, the tilt seems more towards lotions.

Creams are known to be most effective in keeping skin moist; hence, the most popular form of skin care creams is moisturisers.
Due to the same reason, a lot of people tend to associate skin care creams with dry and sensitive skin. Though it is true to a certain extent, skin care creams are not used only for dry skin, they are also used for making products for oily skin e.g. vitamin A creams and sulphur creams that help reduce the rate of sebum production.

Skin care creams are also used for products that cater to skin disorders especially for disorders that require the application of product over a small localised area. This is again due to the fact that skin care creams are easier to apply (without waste) on the affected area. However, in cases where skin needs to be washed using a medicine/product, lotion is a better choice. Mostly, the manufacturers do realize this fact, making it easier for you to choose between a lotion and a skin care cream.

Eye-creams and anti-ageing creams are other examples where skin care cream is preferred over its lotion counterpart.
Whatever your choice will be (cream or lotion), knowing how to use it effectively, is more important than anything else.

How to Find Shop Vitamin Supplements

2008-06-27T10:37:00.000-05:00

Finding Shop Vitamin Supplements:

In order to satisfy the increasing demand for healthy products and vitamin supplements, shop vitamin supplement outlets specialize in selling vitamin supplements to consumers. Originally the only place to find shop vitamin supplements was through a medical practitioner providing a prescription that had to be filled at the local drug store.
As the research into the benefits of vitamin supplements became more in depth the drug administration allowed for the production of shop vitamin supplements that could be bought over the counter without the need for a prescription.This led to shop vitamin supplements being widely available in grocery stores and even gas stations, especially for the most commonly required shop vitamin supplements such as vitamin C.
The production of shop vitamin supplements has increased to such a level that there are now specific shop vitamin supplements available to cater for different age groups, including children and the over 50s. The increase in demand for shop vitamin supplements does not seem to be decreasing but the variety and choice available to consumers is constantly being improved.

The laws governing the sale of drugs have led to many companies diversifying their businesses to concentrate on selling shop vitamin supplements. This has been one of the main reasons for the appearance of a number of internet based businesses selling a wide variety of shop vitamin supplements.
The sales tactics for these websites are becoming increasingly more dubious with the promise that some of their shop vitamin supplements can cure almost any illness or condition. The regulation of these internet shop vitamin supplements is constantly being found to be lacking and the federal drug administration is powerless to prevent some of these sites from making false claims. It is therefore down to the consumer to research the claims of these store vitamin supplement manufacturers and to make their own judgment as to the validity of the sales pitches.
The most important factor to consider is the possible overdose effects that some of these shop vitamin supplements can have. There are a number of vitamins that can actually be toxic if consumed in too high a quantity and a person should always obtain professional medical advice before consuming any form of store vitamin supplement whether it claims to be from natural sources or not. This applies to shop vitamin supplements that are purchased from a specialist vitamin supplement retail outlet, grocery store or internet company.

All About Sensitive Skin Care

2008-06-13T11:30:00.000-05:00

‘Sensitive skin care’ is governed by a few basic rules. However, even before we delve into the rules for sensitive skin care, it’s important to understand what a sensitive skin is. Sensitive skin is one which is unable to tolerate any unfavourable conditions (environmental/other), and which easily gets irritated on contact with foreign materials (including skin care products). For this reason, some products are especially labelled as sensitive skin care products. The degree of sensitivity can however vary from person to person (and depending on that, the sensitive skin care procedures vary too).

Generally, all skin types respond negatively to detergents and other chemical based products. However, the damage starts generally beyond a defined threshold (or tolerance level). This tolerance level is very low for sensitive skin types, leading to skin getting damaged very easily and quickly. Sensitive skin care products either avoid the potential irritants or keep them at very low concentrations.

Here are a few tips for sensitive skin care:
* Use sensitive skin care products only (i.e. the products that are marked for sensitive skin care only). Also, check the instructions/ notes on the product to see if there are specific restrictions/warnings associated with the product).

* Even within the range of sensitive skin care products, choose the one that has minimum preservatives, colorings and other additives.

* Do not use toners. Most of them are alcohol based and are not recommended for sensitive skin.

* Wear protective gloves when doing laundry or other chemical based cleaning. If you are allergic to rubber, you can wear cotton gloves below the rubber ones.

* Another important tip for ‘sensitive skin care’ is to avoid excessive exposure to sun. Apply sunscreen lotion before getting out in the sun.

* Avoiding exposure to dust and other pollutants is also important for sensitive skin care. So, cover yourself adequately before going out.

* Use hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic moisturizer as a sensitive skin care product (if there is none specifically labeled as a sensitive skin care product)

* Use soap-free and alcohol free cleansers. Cleanse your face whenever you return from spending time out doors.

* Do not scrub or exfoliate too hard. It can cause redishness and even inflammation.

* Do not leave the makeup on for too long. Use hypoallergenic makeup- removers.

So, sensitive skin care is very different from the normal skin care. Sensitive skin care is more about being careful with your skin (both in terms of sensitive skin care products and protection against environments atrocities on skin).

Skin Care Treatment

2007-09-24T14:07:00.000-05:00

Skin care treatment for the most common skin conditions:

A glowing and healthy skin is an asset. Skin is not all about beauty but also health. So, skin care treatment should be treated with all seriousness. If you develop a skin related dilemma, you need an appropriate skin care treatment. Skin care treatment, for any skin disorder, starts with actions that are aimed at prevention of the disorder (what we can also call as proactive or preventive skin care treatment). Building and following basic skin care procedures is what one could classify as preventive/proactive skin care treatment. Skin disorders can occur even if you have followed this preventive skin care treatment. Preventive skin care treatment just reduces the probability of occurrence. Let’s check the skin care treatment for some of the common skin conditions.

Acne is one of the most common problems. Again, the first type of skin care treatment is to control acne and prevent it from getting worse. So avoid tight clothes; they are known to cause body acne by trapping sweat. Do not touch the blemishes over and over again (rather don’t touch them at all), you might end up aggravating the condition. Also, do not try to scrub too hard or squeeze them. Use of mild cleansers is a recommended skin care treatment for acne. Obtain an over-the-counter skin care treatment for faster treatment of acne.

Skin care treatment of dry skin is generally easy. Moisturisers, applied in the right way and in the right quantity, are the best form of skin care treatment for dry skin. For best results, apply moisturiser while your skin is still damp. Also, do not apply too much or too little moisturiser. In exceptional cases, where you don’t notice any improvements in 3-4 weeks, you might have to visit your dermatologist for skin care treatment of your dry skin.

Brown spots, which appear on sun-exposed areas of skin i.e. face and hands, are caused by over-exposure to UV radiations. As a skin care treatment for brown spots, use a sunscreen lotion which has a high SPF (sun protection factor), say 15. This should be used irrespective of weather – sunny/cloudy. Another form of skin care treatment is covering up the exposed areas with clothing (caps, full sleeved shirts/t-shirts, and umbrella).

Also, if the general skin care treatment or the over-the-counter medication is not working for you, you should immediately consult your dermatologist for professional skin care treatment. You should also inform the doctor about the skin care treatment that you have undertaken till that time. So take the details of the till-date skin care treatment (and products) along with you. Based on the skin condition and the details of your till-date skin care treatment, the dermatologist will prescribe a skin care treatment e.g. oral antibiotics, chemical peels, retinoid etc and you will be on your way to recovery.

Exercises To Fitness...

Moderate Exercises to Fitness!

Have you ever felt tired and stressed out from work and by the time you get home you see your three children running towards you asking you to play basketball with them? You refused and promised them that you will after you take you rest.

Instead of disappointing your children, why not say, "yes" after all? You will be surprised by the amount of energy you will have after that 30-minute activity.

Did you know that by exercising at a moderate pace for only 30 minutes, you would feel a lot better, mentally? It has been proven that this improves the appetite and sharpens your style in problem solving. Not only that. You will also feel that it is easier to sleep at night if you do moderate exercises even for only 30 minutes every day.

What are the benefits of regular exercise? It promotes self-discipline and has a positive impact how you perceive life. Exercise helps in lifting your spirits and getting you out of any depression. For first timers, it can be done for 15 minutes for 2 to 3 days a week. You can increase the time you spend once your body gets tuned up for it.

DON'T you ever force your body! If you get hurt, then stop. You can take a break from exercising for a few days and then you can start again but you need to start from day 1.

Here are some moderate exercises you can do and enjoy:

1. Do the Walking. Make use of your surroundings. You can walk your dog, with your partner or child. Encourage your family to do the walking exercise daily and you will find yourself burning calories while enjoying the surroundings and getting enough sunlight that is also good for your body.
2. Discover the wonders of Yoga. Yoga is one effective exercise that energizes not only your body but also your soul. You may want to learn even the basic yoga positions that are not too complicated but proven effective. A five-minute yoga exercise can perk you up and recharge your body with the energy you lost for the whole day. You relax and at the same time you stretch!
3. Engage yourself into sports. Play basketball, football, baseball, tennis or badminton. Many doctors have recommended sports as an effective way to stay fit and healthy. Sports can also be done in moderation. Do not take it seriously. Shooting basketball with a friend is one moderate exercise that is also considered a sport.
4. Join exercise programs at work. If you still do not have exercises programs at work, then why not start it? You can talk to your boss about it and start with your colleagues. You do not only lose calories but it is also one good way to bond with them. This can be done 30 minutes, 3 times a week.
5. Exercise while doing household chores. Gardening, raking leaves, lawn mowing, doing the laundry, vacuuming and car washing are effective moderate exercises at home. Make use of these chores to sweat and burn calories. Instead of using machines and gadgets to perform these chores, why not do it with your hands and lose some fats?
Making exercises as part of your daily routines will surprise you of how much calories you will lose. Doing these moderate exercises of the same amount every day can burn 150 calories up to 1,000 calories a day!

Liquid Supplements?

2007-07-03T23:57:00.000-05:00

Liquid Vitamin Supplements

Most people do not realise that the body can absorb the nutrients from liquid vitamin supplements easier than from tablets. It is estimated that liquid vitamin supplements are actually absorbed at least five times better than regular vitamin pills. Of course, there are many other benefits that liquid vitamin supplements have over pills. For example, the liquid vitamin supplements are easier to swallow. This alone makes liquid vitamin supplements preferable to pills, especially for children and anyone else who has trouble taking pills of any type.

Young children are often unable to gather sufficient nutrients from the foods that they eat but it is almost impossible for them to take vitamin supplements in pill form. Liquid vitamin supplements are ideal because they can be given by a dropper, straight into the child’s mouth or even added to their regular bottle of water or juice to ensure that they receive all of the vitamins that they need to grow. For exactly the same reason, liquid vitamin supplements are perfect for anyone who is unwell and not able to eat properly.

Despite the best efforts of most people it is likely that most are not getting sufficient vitamins and minerals from their diet and that is where liquid vitamin supplements are beneficial. The vitamins in many common pill supplements are actually packed too densely. This leads to a lot of the vitamins not being broken down and absorbed as they should do whereas liquid vitamin supplements do not have the same problem. The body is therefore able to absorb far more of the nutritional value from liquid vitamin supplements than it can from those in the traditional pill form. In fact, the body only absorbs about 10-20% of the nutrients from vitamin pills compared to around 80-90% that it can absorb from liquid vitamin supplements.

Another benefit of liquid vitamin supplements is that they often contain more than one type of vitamin and other nutrients. Vitamin pills traditionally contain only one which means that you are going to have to take a whole handful of vitamin pills to get the same benefits as you do from many of the liquid vitamin supplements. Liquid vitamin supplements offer far more convenience and effectiveness for supplying the body with the vitamins that it needs. The cost of buying the equivalent number of vitamin pills to obtain the same results is also far more than that of liquid vitamin supplements.

Rapid Weight Loss

2007-06-22T04:01:00.000-05:00

"Rapid Weight Loss Techniques"

Other than physical appearance weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical in capabilities. There are a lot of positive changes once a person experience weight loss. It is for this reason why a lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will surely trim down those fats and get a super slim head turner body.

The first thing that an over-weight person should do is seek a doctor to recommend the best weight loss regimen. This will be done after a full physical examination, which leads to the determination of proper weight loss technique. Also to lose weight fast and effectively four aspects of life should be changed: what to eat, how to eat, behavior and activity level.

Here are fast tips that can change an over-weight's life:

First: Fast weight loss composes of a multi-faceted technique that consists mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Begin by learning a diet food plan that can easily be accustomed with. Incorporate an exercise plan that allows even at least fifteen minutes a day like brisk walking, running, swimming, and dancing.

Second: Set realistic approaches. The ability to focus and have proper mindset enables someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. With discipline and proper mind set, a dieter will never be discouraged and lose focus.

Third: Listen as the body speaks. Each and every one's body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body's reaction. Exercise program must be suitable to one's body, as others are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk for this is proven the best exercise. Muscles burn more calories than fats so it's also best to put on a little muscle and looking good too.

Fourth: Eat more fibers for it makes a person full sooner and stays in the tummy longer, slowing down the rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar that spikes the body's insulin level. Thus, making the body more energized and ready to tell the body when it should stop burning fats or start storing.

Fifth: Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a great amount of fat. Although fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when a beef is fried. It is recommended for those on strict diet to opt for grilled food as this does not have or contain less amount of fat after the food is cooked.

Sixth: Takes lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body refreshed. Since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated.

All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and the key to a rapid weight loss success. Light dieting, workout, and right amount of supplementation applied in a regular way everyday will result in faster weight loss than having a massive action only to be followed a return to old habits as this would only lead to gaining more weight than when the weight loss plan has started.

A Healthy Business Tip

2007-06-18T14:43:00.000-05:00

Well actually I have found a site that is every Marketers dream come true. After a couple of months of being involved in the launch...IE; making sure it wasn't a scam, that it pays, and that it will be around for years to come. I have come to the conclusion, that it's everything it claims to be...I and many others will be able to retire in the next year with a very generous tax free income.
My point is if you wish to do the same "now is the time." It's called GWBOPC...it's free to register then decide at what level you want to join the club. The club GWOPC makes money for you even if you decide to do nothing with it. Although it will take longer to do so. If you decide to be involved though, not only will you have the passive income, but income from several different avenues. There really isn't any limits as to what you can earn. Also people are already being paid for their activity in the club.
I highly recommend GWBOPC for everybody who is looking for extra income. By clicking on the title of this post you can find out more...

Vitamin "C" And Your Skin

2007-05-14T17:17:00.000-05:00

Vitamin C skin care – The challenge

Vitamin C is often regarded as a wrinkle fighter or an anti-aging agent. The main objective of ‘Vitamin C skin care’, in scientific terms, is to increase the synthesis of collagen (a structural protein that is found in skin). The additional benefit of ‘Vitamin C skin care’ is related to its capability of countering free radicals which cause damage to the skin.

Vitamin C skin care, however, faces a major challenge today. This is related to the oxidation tendency of Vitamin C skin care products. On coming in contact with any oxidising agent (e.g. air), the Vitamin C in the Vitamin C skin care products, gets oxidised; thus making the Vitamin C skin care product useless (in fact counter-effective). The oxidised Vitamin C imparts a yellowish-brown colour to the Vitamin C skin care product. This is something that you need to check before buying a Vitamin C skin care product. Even after you buy a Vitamin C skin care product, you need to store it properly and keep checking that it’s still good to use (i.e. it hasn’t attained a yellowish-brown texture).

The manufacturers of Vitamin C skin care products have tried to deal with this (oxidation) problem in multiple ways (and research on Vitamin C skin care products is on the top of their list). One such method of retaining effectiveness of Vitamin C skin care products for a long term is to keep a high concentration (say 10%) of Vitamin C. However, this makes the Vitamin C skin care products even more expensive. The Vitamin C skin care products are already pretty inexpensive and making them even more expensive will throw the product manufacturers out of business. The other way is to use Vitamin C derivatives (like ascorbyl palmitate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). These are not only more stable but also inexpensive. Even though the derivatives based products are not as effective as the Vitamin C skin care products, their stability against oxidation is a very desirable feature that makes them very attractive. Moreover, these are known to be less irritating too.

Talking of effectiveness of Vitamin C skin care products, it’s important to mention that not everyone responds to Vitamin C treatments. So it’s not a magic potion in any way. If you don’t see a noticeable difference in your skin, it might be because of your skin not responding to Vitamin C treatment (and the Vitamin C skin care products might not be at fault, at all).
As more research goes on, one can only keep our fingers crossed and wait for a complete solution to the challenges faced by ‘Vitamin C skin care’ today.

Healthy Vitamin In-Take

2007-04-22T14:08:00.000-05:00

Good Food Health Vitamin Intake

It is essential that a person is aware of what constitutes good food health vitamin intake. The federal drug administration produces a recommended daily allowance for the majority of vitamins which it regards as a good food health vitamin intake. These figures vary according to a person’s age, sex and some other factors so that the good food health vitamin intake for a young woman is going to be different to that of a man in his seventies.

The food health vitamin intake amounts of certain foods are included in the nutritional labelling. This labelling is important for a person to consider and helps ensure that they are receiving the correct food health vitamin intake from the foods that they eat. The nutritional information is often represented as a percentage of the recommended daily allowance of each vitamin and mineral and can help assess the value of the foods in the quest for good food health vitamin intake.

There are also a number of items that a person may want to restrict in their diet as part of their good food health vitamin intake. Again, the nutritional labelling of certain foods can help a person to see how high a product is in these undesirable contents. Salt and fat, for example, may be items that a person wants to consider limiting as part of their good food health vitamin intake even though they are not strictly vitamins. The majority of people actually refer to nutrients when they use the word vitamin and food manufacturers are aware that a person is looking at minerals and other items when they are considering their good food health vitamin intake. Fiber is another element that many people are more aware of as forming an essential part of a balanced diet and is necessary for good food health vitamin intake.

If a person is on a restricted diet for any reason then they need to pay even more attention to their good food health vitamin intake. Obviously, some foods contain different nutrients to others and this is applicable to vitamins as well and it may be more difficult for a person to achieve their good food health vitamin intake if they are unable to eat certain foods. Vitamin supplements can form an essential part of a good food health vitamin intake for people who are unable to obtain their vitamins from their normal diet. It is also worth remembering that the good food health vitamin intake for a person varies throughout their life depending on their general health.

Is Natural Skin Care The Best Way To Go?

2007-04-02T14:27:00.000-05:00

Are Natural skin care products the answer to all problems?
When it comes to skin care products, you will find that a lot of people are very particular about using only natural skin care products. They treat all the synthetic products as harmful to the skin.

So, are natural skin care products the answer to all of our problems? What if a natural skin care product is not available for the treatment of a particular skin disorder? Are the synthetic skin care products so harmful that they should be banned?

Different people have different answers to these questions. However, the reality is that due to presence of synthetic preservatives, it’s really tough to find a natural skin care product that is 100% natural. There are natural skin care products that have natural preservatives, but their cost might be detrimental. Moreover, such natural skin products have a shorter shelf life and hence are not preferred by the manufacturers of natural skin care products.

Some people carry a wrong notion that since natural skin care products are natural, they cannot cause any harm to the skin. The suitability of a skin care product is not based on whether it is synthetic or natural. An unsuitable natural skin care product can harm you in almost the same way as a synthetic one. So, use natural skin care products, but be open to synthetic ones too (you might need them when a natural solution is not available)

Your selection of a natural skin care product should be based on 3 factors:

* The skin type (dry, oily, normal, sensitive) of the person who will use that natural skin care product.
* The climatic conditions in which it will be used e.g. hot and humid condition would warranty the use of oil-free natural skin care products.
* The process for application/use of the natural skin care product. A good natural skin care product (in fact any product) can seem useless if not used in the proper way.

You can also make natural skin care products by yourself, by using the recipes that are readily available on the internet and in the books at book stores.
Use of organic fruits and vegetables is also popular as a natural skin care procedure. Some essential oils, herbal oils, are useful too and are known for their moisturising and antiseptic properties.

However, using a natural skin care product does not mean that you can exercise carelessness with other aspects of skin care. Natural skin care products should be used like supplements to the following ‘essential’ recommendations: healthy eating habits (avoiding oily food), regular exercise, drinking a lot of water (8 glasses everyday), and cleanliness. This will then form a perfect and completely natural skin care routine that will help maintain a healthy beautiful skin for a much longer time.

Lose Weight "Naturally"

2007-03-19T12:31:00.000-05:00

Natural Weight Loss: When you do not have to Go Over:

Eat right, keep moving.

You just have read all that you need to know about how to prevent being overweight. That simple set of instructions should be easy to follow, but not for 35% of Americans who are unable to prevent being overweight.

Of course, once we are overweight, we usually want to trim down for a whole lot of reasons, some related to health, others having to do with looks.

In addition, it is never too late to lose weight. But the fact is, it is a whole lot easier to prevent putting on pounds than to try losing them later on. And if there is one thing we all know, it is that weight gain is likely to happen if we do not take forward-looking steps to stop it.
Health experts say that most people who are into losing weight usually stray. They tend to go back to their old eating habits even after they learn to enjoy low-fat eating. They tend to return to sedentary ways even though they enjoy exercising.

But despite the momentum toward weight gain, you can stop it from happening, experts say. And there are plenty of good reasons to avoid excess pounds, reasons that go beyond vanity or social acceptance.

In fact, some health experts contend that the significance of excess weight is more than cosmetic. They say that it takes a huge toll on people’s physical health.

The Way to Losing Weight…Naturally

The nuts and bolts of eating right maintaining a healthy weight is not all that complicated. In fact, it is a good bet that most people know pretty well what is best. Hence, losing weight the natural way should not be a problem at all.

Consequently, a reasonable approach for losing weight naturally is to stick to a diet that is high in complex carbohydrates, high in fiber, moderate in protein, and low in fat.
A complex carbohydrate is a baked potato. Fat is the sour cream and butter you should not put on it. Fiber is vegetables. Fat is the oil you should not fry them in. Protein is a lean cut of meat. Fat is the gravy you should not pour over it.

Moreover, health experts say that dietary fat promotes weight gain because it is a very dense source of calories. Also, when you consume excess calories from dietary fat, you store those calories as body fat more efficiently than excess calories from other sources.

On the other hand, it can also help you lose weight naturally if you will not fall into the so-called “fat-free” trap. Manufacturers keep coming out with low-fat or fat-free versions of their best-selling foods, but Americans keep getting fatter anyway.

One of the greatest delusions of the 1990s is that “no fat” means “non-fattening.” The truth is, you are often getting just as many calories from the no-fat version, even if the calories are not coming from fat.

The term fat-free can be a trap if you start to believe that you can eat any amount of the foods that are advertised that way.

What’s more, it is best to respond to hunger with healthful snacks. Health experts say it would be better to try eating every three to four hours, which may mean a nutritious low-fat snack between lunch and dinner.

When you feel the urge for food coming on, snacking on something healthy such as a slice of whole-grain toasted bread is a better alternative. Never skip a meal and eat snacks instead because that is the worst thing you can do if you are trying to control your eating habits and weight.

Remember, if you want to lose weight naturally, you have to keep track of every food you eat and of every activity that you do. When you say natural weight loss means that you do not have to use some accessories or helpful aids just to lose weight.

Losing weight naturally is a process and not a fad. Hence, it would take a lot of dogged determination, self-control, and discipline just to achieve your ideal weight.

Mary

...Oily Skin Facts...

2007-02-28T08:40:00.000-06:00

The facts about Oily skin care:

To start the discussion on oily skin care, it’s imperative to first understand the cause behind oily skin. Put simply, oily skin is a result of excessive production of sebum (an oily substance that is naturally produced by skin). As is known to everyone, excess of everything is bad; so excessive sebum is bad too. It leads to clogging of skin pores, resulting in accumulation of dead cells and hence formation of pimples/acne. Moreover, oily skin spoils your looks too. So, ‘oily skin care’ is as important as the ‘skin care’ for other types of skin.

The basic aim of ‘oily skin care’ is the removal of excessive sebum or oil from the skin. However, oily skin care procedures should not lead to complete removal of oil. ‘Oily skin care’ starts with the use of a cleanser. However, not all cleansers will work. You need a cleanser which contains salicylic acid i.e. a beta-hydroxy acid that retards the rate of sebum production. Cleansing should be done twice a day (and even more in hot and humid conditions).

Most of the oily skin care products are oil-free; however, it is always good to check the ingredients of the product, before you actually buy it. This is especially important if a product is marked as ‘suitable for all skin types’, instead of ‘oily skin care product’. ‘Oily skin care’ is also dependent on the degree of oiliness, if you aren’t too oily, so some of these ‘suitable for all’- type of products might be work for you too. For extremely oily skin, only oily skin care products are suitable. Your oily skin care routine can include an alcohol based toner (for an extremely oily skin). This can be the second step in your oily skin care routine i.e. just after cleansing. However, excessive toning can harm your skin.

The next step in your oily skin care routine can be a mild moisturiser. Again, the degree of oiliness of your skin will determine whether you need to include this in your oily skin care routine. If you do decide to include a moisturiser, be sure to use one that is oil-free, wax-free and lipid-free. You could also use a clay mask (say once a week) as an oily skin care measure.
As far as the oily skin care products go, you might need to try out a few before you arrive at the one that is really suitable for your skin.

In case these measures don’t give you the desired result, consult a good dermatologist for advice. He could prescribe stronger oily skin care products like vitamin A creams, retinoids, sulphur creams etc , which can help counter the problems of oily skin.

Liquid Vitamin Supplements

Most people do not realise that the body can absorb the nutrients from liquid vitamin supplements easier than from tablets. It is estimated that liquid vitamin supplements are actually absorbed at least five times better than regular vitamin pills. Of course, there are many other benefits that liquid vitamin supplements have over pills. For example, the liquid vitamin supplements are easier to swallow. This alone makes liquid vitamin supplements preferable to pills, especially for children and anyone else who has trouble taking pills of any type.

Young children are often unable to gather sufficient nutrients from the foods that they eat but it is almost impossible for them to take vitamin supplements in pill form. Liquid vitamin supplements are ideal because they can be given by a dropper, straight into the child’s mouth or even added to their regular bottle of water or juice to ensure that they receive all of the vitamins that they need to grow. For exactly the same reason, liquid vitamin supplements are perfect for anyone who is unwell and not able to eat properly.

Despite the best efforts of most people it is likely that most are not getting sufficient vitamins and minerals from their diet and that is where liquid vitamin supplements are beneficial. The vitamins in many common pill supplements are actually packed too densely. This leads to a lot of the vitamins not being broken down and absorbed as they should, whereas liquid vitamin supplements do not have the same problem. The body is therefore able to absorb far more of the nutritional value from liquid vitamin supplements than it can from those in the traditional pill form. In fact, the body only absorbs about 10-20% of the nutrients from vitamin pills compared to around 80-90% that it can absorb from liquid vitamin supplements.

Another benefit of liquid vitamin supplements is that they often contain more than one type of vitamin and other nutrients. Vitamin pills traditionally contain only one which means that you are going to have to take a whole handful of vitamin pills to get the same benefits as you do from many of the liquid vitamin supplements. Liquid vitamin supplements offer far more convenience and effectiveness for supplying the body with the vitamins that it needs. The cost of buying the equivalent number of vitamin pills to obtain the same results is also far more than that of liquid vitamin supplements.

...Can't Lose Weight?...

"Nutrition Notes on Weight Loss Supplements"

More and more spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars yearly on weight loss supplements in the hope of speeding up their metabolism. The main desire is to be attractive and accepted but it is becoming a more difficult goal to achieve. The fitness industry is booming but still a lot of people are unable to cut those fats in spite of all their exercise and diet efforts. In America, more than sixty percent of adults are overweight and thirty percent are considered obese. This is because: one, a lot of weight loss products promise unrealistic goals; two, dietary supplement manufacturers rely on the overweight person's failure to survive; and three, the information about the supplements in the market are just written by themselves just to make a sell.

Although the Food and Drug Administration has successfully banned illegal marketers, some products are still available. Consumers can be deceived of the labels which claim caffeine or ephedra free not knowing that these supplements are composed of other ingredients that may pose the same health risks. These include heart and digestive problems, headaches, insomnia, and even psychological side effects.

Other supplement manufacturers say that their products contains EGCG which is a photochemical ingredient found in green tea. This so-called component claims to speed up metabolism but in reality poses to reduce the risk of cancer. Some studies denote that it could slightly increase the potential to burn calories and now can be found in many weight loss supplements. It has good points on the other hand since the body might conform to EGCG after a period of time. Even the weight loss benefit could sum up to 60 to 70 calories a day. This helps prevent excessive weight gain.

A few other significant effects of weight loss supplements is that it may contain ingredients that makers claim will prevent the absorption of carbohydrates. One good example is Chitosan, which appears most promising, which in fact shows no positive result in fat absorption. It could even take up to seven months for men to lose just a pound of body fat and for women, there is no fat loss at all. Thyroid supplements act as thyroid replacements help regulate and optimize the thyroid at a higher level. This they say makes the body feel like a couch potato and won't perform the job it has to.

Since the number one reason why people eat is because they feel hungry, there is another type of ingredient that manufacturers made which increases the feeling of being full and decreases appetite, Guar Gum. However, recent studies show that it has no meaningful benefit at all to weight loss. It is ironic that manufacturers mix Psyllium that has the reputation of reducing eating and aiding weight loss for initial studies so far do not support this claim although it helps control blood cholesterol and sugar.

One of the latest innovations in the fat loss industry is by way of skin absorption. There's a Cutting Gel, which is an epidril product by far the best selling in fat loss creams technology. Rub it where you want the fats cut. For now, it will seem safer to advise the age old remedies to excessive weight gain and that is to invest on walking shoes instead of diet supplements, go to the park and do brisk walking, go to the gym, and have a well balanced diet instead. Oh! and don't forget to do the natural thing, drink Fruta Vida...

...How About Losing Weight With A Fast Diet...

2007-01-25T13:23:00.000-06:00

"Rapid Weight Loss Techniques"

Other than physical appearance weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical incapabilities. There are a lot of positive changes once a person experience weight loss. It is for this reason why a lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will surely trim down those fats and get a super slim head turner body.

The first thing that an over-weight person should do is seek a doctor to recommend the best weight loss regimen. This will be done after a full physical examination, which leads to the determination of proper weight loss technique. And to lose weight fast and effectively four aspects of life should be changed: what to eat, how to eat, behavior and activity level.

Here are fast tips that can change an over-weight persons life:

First: Fast weight loss composes of a multi-faceted technique that consists mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Begin by learning a diet food plan that can easily be accustomed with. Incorporate an exercise plan that allows even at least fifteen minutes a day like brisk walking, running, swimming, and dancing.

Second: Set realistic approaches. The ability to focus and have proper mindset enables someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. With discipline and proper mind set, a dieter will never be discouraged and lose focus.

Third: Listen as the body speaks. Each and everyone's body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body's reaction. Exercise program must be suitable to one's body, as others are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk for this is proven the best exercise. Muscles burn more calories than fats so it's also best to put on a little muscle and looking good too.

Fourth: Eat more fibers for it makes a person full sooner and stays in the tummy longer, slowing down the rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar that spikes the body's insulin level. Thus, making the body more energized and ready to tell the body when it should stop burning fats or start storing.

Fifth: Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a great amount of fat. Although fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when a beef is fried. It is recommended for those on strict diet to opt for grilled food as this does not have or contain less amount of fat after the food is cooked.

Sixth: Takes lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body refreshed. Since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated.

All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and the key to a rapid weight loss success. Light dieting, workout, and right amount of supplementation applied in a regular way everyday will result in faster weight loss than having a massive action only to be followed a return to old habits as this would only lead to gaining more weight than when the weight loss plan has started.

Warning- Laxatives and Weight Loss

2007-01-17T13:24:00.000-06:00

Dangers of Using Laxatives For Weight Loss

One popular weight loss supplements available in the market today take the form of tea. Stores all over sell slimming tea, dieters tea and others but all of them are actually the same. They may appear to be effective, but what is not seen may actually harm you.

One of the effects of drinking dieters tea is frequent bowel movement. This gives people the feeling of body cleansing. These people may get toxins out of their body but it isn't exactly the only thing that slimming tea actually does to the body. Slimming tea contains herbs which are natural laxatives. These include aloe, senna, rhubarb root, cascara, buckthorn and castor oil. These are products which are derived from plants and are used since the ancient times because of their potency in treating constipation and to inducing bowel movement.

Cascara, castor oil and senna are substances which are recognized as laxatives available over the counter and are also regulated as drugs. Scientific studies show that diarrhea induced by laxatives does not absorb significant amounts of calories taken in the body.

The reason for this is that laxatives do not act on the small intesines where most of the calories are absorbed. Instead, they work on the large intestines. If taken in large amounts for prolonged periods, it can affect fat absorption of the body. This may lead to greasy diarrhea and loss of weight. Abuse of laxatives is common practice among people who suffer from bulimia and anorexia nervosa.

While weight loss can be guaranteed by overdosing on laxatives, it may also cause permanent damage to the gastrointesitinal tract and the weakening and softening of the bones, a condition known as osteomalacia. Drinkers of slimming teas may actually patronize the product because they are less expensive and taste better than other laxatives sold in the market. Other people, such as those with eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia nervosa drink dieters tea because they work fast and produce watery stool and having loose consistency.

Women may even be more susceptible to the effects of slimming teas. Although they may are not known to interfere directly with the woman's menstrual cycle and fertility, they should watch out if drinking them causes them to rapidly shed off weight. It is also not safe for pregnant women to be taking in laxatives of any kind. Wise and reponsible herbalists also discourage the use of senna and other herbal products with laxative properties for pregnant women and women who are trying to conceive.

One should be wary about these findings because the labeling of slimming teas in the market today can be absolutely misleading. For instance, they commonly refer to the laxative qualities as "natural bowel cleansing properties" and not specifically use the word "laxative".Some even use the term "low-calorie" on their labeling. These products in fact, contain essentially no calories nor nutrients whatsoever; unless of course, if they are sweetened.

Adverse effects of misusing laxatives in the form of slimming tea generally occur when taken in more than or longer than recommended. These include nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, rectal bleeding,electrolyte disorder and dehydration as well as injury and worse, death. It was also reported that excess use of stimulant laxatives cause severe constipation and pain for long periods (as much as for decades) due to the colon losing its function. It eventually led to surgery removing the colon altogether.

...Vitamins In Your Food...

2007-01-08T14:08:00.000-06:00

Good Food Health Vitamin Intake...

It is essential that a person is aware of what constitutes good food health vitamin intake. The federal drug administration produces a recommended daily allowance for the majority of vitamins which it regards as a good food health vitamin intake. These figures vary according to a personÂs age, sex and some other factors so that the good food health vitamin intake for a young woman is going to be different to that of a man in his seventies.

The food health vitamin intake amounts of certain foods are included in the nutritional labelling. This labelling is important for a person to consider and helps ensure that they are receiving the correct food health vitamin intake from the foods that they eat. The nutritional information is often represented as a percentage of the recommended daily allowance of each vitamin and mineral and can help assess the value of the foods in the quest for good food health vitamin intake.

There are also a number of items that a person may want to restrict in their diet as part of their good food health vitamin intake. Again, the nutritional labelling of certain foods can help a person to see how high a product is in these undesirable contents. Salt and fat, for example, may be items that a person wants to consider limiting as part of their good food health vitamin intake even though they are not strictly vitamins. The majority of people actually refer to nutrients when they use the word vitamin and food manufacturers are aware that a person is looking at minerals and other items when they are considering their good food health vitamin intake. Fiber is another element that many people are more aware of as forming an essential part of a balanced diet and is necessary for good food health vitamin intake.

If a person is on a restricted diet for any reason then they need to pay even more attention to their good food health vitamin intake. Obviously, some foods contain different nutrients to others and this is applicable to vitamins as well and it may be more difficult for a person to achieve their good food health vitamin intake if they are unable to eat certain foods. Vitamin supplements can form an essential part of a good food health vitamin intake for people who are unable to obtain their vitamins from their normal diet. It is also worth remembering that the good food health vitamin intake for a person varies throughout their life depending on their general health.

Supplements

2006-12-28T17:27:00.000-06:00

Mineral Vitamin Supplements

The majority of mineral vitamin supplements are made from chemicals rather than natural substances. However, there is a steady growth in the demand for natural mineral vitamin supplements. This is due to the amount of debate that there is as to whether chemical mineral vitamins can be more harmful than beneficial in the long term.

The fact is that chemical mineral vitamin supplements are not as easily absorbed as normal food particles are. The mineral vitamin industry is constantly striving to create products that are more easily processed by the body and therefore more beneficial.

Every now and then the industry comes up with a new 'more bio-available' form of a vitamin or mineral. To overcome this, a large number of mineral vitamins have been developed that combine other elements with the vitamins and minerals to enable them to be more easily absorbed by the body. Iron is commonly combined to form iron gluconate which enable the mineral vitamin supplement to be more absorbable.

The amount of a nutrient in a mineral vitamin supplement needs to be far greater than it would be in a more natural form for the body to be able to absorb the amount that is required. This can obviously lead to problem where a toxic level of the particular nutrient is being consumed by the large doses of the mineral vitamin supplement that are needed. It is therefore extremely important that a person does not simply take vast quantities of all of the mineral vitamin supplements that are advertised on television and should seek advice from a health professional. It is also worth being aware of the developments in the mineral vitamin supplement industry as there are constantly new and better combinations being developed.

One method that mineral vitamin manufacturers have developed to help aid absorption is through culturing the raw materials with yeast cells. This form of mineral vitamins are known as ‘food state’ and are up to four times easier for the body to absorb the required nutrients as the yeast is completely digested.

Of course, the need for mineral vitamin supplements depends on the diet that a person has. There is no doubt that it is far more preferable for a person to obtain the nutrients that they require from their food rather than by taking mineral vitamin supplements wherever possible. During certain periods it may be necessary for a person to take mineral vitamin supplements on a temporary basis but their long term use is not recommended for a number of the supplements that are available.

... B Complex Vitamins...

2006-12-21T14:47:00.000-06:00

A Guide to the B Complex Vitamins. I find very useful...

There is a lot of discussion about the B complex vitamin and how it is essential for the body to perform a multitude of functions. However, the B complex vitamin is not a very complicated vitamin, as the name might suggest. There are actually eight B vitamins that are in the B complex vitamin as well as a few other related substances. The eight vitamins that make up the B complex vitamin are thiamine or vitamin B1, riboflavin or vitamin B2, niacin or vitamin B3, pyridoxine or vitamin B6, cobalamine or vitamin B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid and biotin. The other related substances that are also in the B complex vitamin include choline, inositol and para-aminobenzoic acid. Every part of the B complex vitamin performs its own individual function within the body but it is when they work together as the B complex vitamin that they provide essential maintenance for the body to remain healthy. The B vitamin complex comprises B vitamins which are water soluble and it is essential that enough of these vitamins are consumed on a daily basis. The body cannot store water soluble vitamins such as the B complex vitamin and this leads to a regular intake being required.The B complex vitamins are extremely beneficial for a number of conditions and may be needed in additional quantities at certain times in a person’s life. Of course, there is a recommended daily allowance for the B complex vitamins that varies according to the sex and age of a person. However, doctors and other health professionals have discovered the benefits of increasing the intake of the B complex vitamin to help overcome certain illnesses. Many people suffer from anxiety and stress at one time or another and research has found that the B complex vitamin can be beneficial in helping alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and stress. If a person has been unwell the B complex vitamin can be extremely valuable in aiding the recovery process. Fatigue can be a symptom of a multitude of illnesses as well as simply overdoing things but the B complex vitamin can help alleviate general tiredness and lethargy. Interestingly, some skin conditions, such as dermatitis, can also benefit from addition B complex vitamin intake. In fact, a number of creams and other skin preparations contain added vitamin B complex that can be absorbed by the skin to alleviate the condition. The condition of a person’s hair will also be greatly improved with sufficient B complex vitamin intake.

...Flu Facts...

2006-12-13T17:02:00.000-06:00

The most common question I hear is: How can you tell a cold from the Flu? It's not a riddle, but then again maybe it is. Although similarities exist between the two illnesses-and their treatment-they're caused by entirely different organisms. The worst part of a cold might last longer, but the flu generally causes more discomfort.
This is a comparison of common symptoms and the differences between them, depending on whether they are caused by a cold or the flu.

Headache. Rare with cold but common with flu.
Fever. With flu, it's common and comes on suddenly; with a cold , it's rare.
General aches. In flu, aches are usual and often severe; in a cold, they're slight.
Fatigue. Fatigue is extreme in flu and can last two to three weeks; a cold leaves you mildly fatigued.
Runny nose. Sometimes you'll have a runny nose with flu, but it's more common with a cold.
Sore throat. A sore throat sometimes accompanies flu; it's a common symptom of a cold.
Cough. It's common with flu and can become severe; a cold brings on a mild to moderate hacking cough.
Is there no escape? A big resounding No, when the flu's got you in it's clutches, you're down for the count.

...Colds...

2006-12-01T15:59:00.000-06:00

At one time or another, all of us succumbs to the Common Cold. The youngest to the oldest, the sweetest, the smartest - our virtues seem to matter not. We are reduced to coughing, sneezing shadows of our former selves.
Worse yet Antibiotics don't work for these viruses like they do for bacterial infections. So we can only take a pill or two, and hope the symptoms will disappear in a week or so.
But there's actually more we can do to get through a cold.

1. Take Vitamin C - It works in the body as a scavenger picking up all sorts of trash including viruses.

2. Zap it with Zinc Lozenges - They can cut colds short.

3. Get extra rest and relax.

4. Load up on liquids - water, juices, tea, etc... They will help flush out impurities that may be preying on your system.

5. Sip a hot toddy before bedtime. Warm wine is your best bet for this.

2006-11-25T12:48:00.000-06:00

Chapped lips really do give new meaning to the expression "crack a smile". So to avoid feeling and looking like Oscar the Grouch this Christmas and winter season try these useful little tips. They just might put the smile back on your face.

1. Try the balm solution - Before you go out coat your lips. Remember to take it with you to reapply often beings the lips don't hold anything on them very well or for very long.

2. Women wear lipstick.

3. Take vitamins - Nutritional deficiencies such as B-complex vitamins and iron can play a part in scaling of the lips.

4. Chapped lips can be a dehydration problem as well so drink plenty of fluids such as water and juices.

...Acne...

2006-11-14T17:31:00.000-06:00

Acne is really a catchall term used for a variety of symptoms such as pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. "It's a condition where the pores of the skin become clogged and a person can get inflamed and noninflamed lesions.
So what's the cause of all the clogging? Not sex, not Chocolate, or even dirty hair or skin, but "Heredity" at least for the most part. It is an inherited defect of your pores. It tends to run in families. If both parents had Acne then three out of four sibs will have bouts with Acne.
So here's some blemish - free advice.
1. Change your makeup. Oil based makeup is the problem.
2. Read the labels - products that contain lanolins, isopropyl myristate, sodium lauryl sulfate. Like oil these are to rich for the skin.
3. Rinse - Wash your face morning and at night, rinsing thoroughly.
4. If you use an OTC be sure to use only one treatment at a time.
5. Stop the spread of Acne by spreading your Acne medicine about a half inch around the affected area.

2006-11-10T16:10:00.000-06:00

I think this is the start of the yearly sick bugs that flow around our public schools. My little Grand-daughter who in pre-K is in the ER as I write this. For a week now she has been fighting a bug that has her vomiting and very conjestant. The medicine she is taking already just don't seem to clear it up. She will probably be in the Hospital for a while on a drip...
So I am here to give some tips again:

1. Wash your hands as often as possible. Parents send wet one travel packs with your kids to school.
2. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and raw veggies.
3. Drink lots of fluids: juices, and filtered water
4. Eat three meals a day of an assortment of unprocessed foods.

...Body Odor...

2006-11-02T15:55:00.000-06:00

Body Odor, not something most of us bloggers would write about right...
Well when it comes to health - Mental, social, or otherwise body odor is just as important as anything else is. Let's face it, if you want to win friends and influence people - don't stink.
Now for some people that is easier said than done some say...Yet don't give up. If you continue reading you will find a secret in these few tips that works everytime.

1. Scrub - a - dub -dub - Most often body odor is caused by a combination of perspiration and bacteria. Scrubbing with soap and water will wash both culprits away.
2. Wash more than your body, keep your clothes clean as well, and change often.
3. Use antiperspirants. If these cause a rash then use a topical antibiotic cream. It will work just like deodorants do just without the perfumes.
4. For those that nothing seams to work. Try an old dog trick. Put a couple cups of tomato juice in with your bath water and sit in it for about 15 minutes. This works about 100% of the time.

Having a persistent inability to sleep can make you feel like a Vampire, or some creature of the night for sure. From what I understand about Insomnia is that most times it will cure itself. Yet if your like some people I know, it can persist for a long time. What I have found to work best coming short of hypnosis is not how long you sleep but the quality of sleep you get for the amount of time you do sleep.
The only advice I can give is to do what I myself and a few others I know do to get that deep restful slumber needed to function on a daily basis.

1. Take a warm bath with Lavender oil added to the water.
2. When you go to bed lay down and focus your mind on relaxing each part of your body from head to toe. Just tense then relax. Then when your no longer aware of your body say over and over in your mind "I am sleeping a very restful sleep tonight." Most times you fall asleep saying this. This way you think of none of your daily life problems.
Doing this simple thing helps me get around 4 to 6 hours of really deep sleep each night.
3. If the above doesn't work for you keep searching for an all natural way, or see your doctor. Maybe he/she may have a way to help just for you.

...Redness In The Eyes...

2006-10-12T17:42:00.000-05:00

Do the white of your eyes often look like the red lines you find on road maps? Most often this problem is caused by a lack of sleep. Normally 7 to 8 hours of sleep will help rehydrate them. Yet not everyone has that option.

1. Water your eyes - Artificial tears lubricant eye drops work wonders.

2. Cool your eyes - Use a cool, wet washcloth and place it over your closed eyelids. The moisture will seep into the eyes as well cooling them down.

3. The thing that works best at helping to keep the red out is washing your eyelids at night before bed and upon waking in the morning. This keeps your eyelids free from a low - grade infection called blepharitis.

...Kideny Stones...

2006-10-05T12:28:00.000-05:00

If you've had a Kideny Stone and are in pain again chances are you are getting another. See your Doctor.

1. Any intense pain and/or blood in your urine call your doctor.

2. If you pass a stone take it to your doctor to find out what kind of stone it is. This can help you to prevent future ones.

3. The doctor can also look at your stone with X-Ray to see how large it is. Large stones can create blockage and infection.

4. Try Magnesium and B6 - these help to curtail stone recurrences by almost 90%.

5. Drink plenty of liquids as well and try to eat healthy.

...A Pain In The Neck?...

2006-09-22T15:46:00.000-05:00

A pain in the neck is most often caused by the way your keeping your head in a awkward position - that is, pushed forward with your ears in front of your shoulders for long stretches of time that makes your neck hurt. Yet there's hope of releif with the use of these little tips:

1. Ice your Neck - An ice pack or ice wrapped in a towel is good when stiffness is just settling in.
2. Then heat up - After ice has reduced any inflammation, heat is a wonderful soother - a heating pad or hot shower will work.
3. Then there's the modern way - Use an over the counter ointment. Just don't ever use them with a heating pad, or else you could be dealing with blisters as well.

...Stress A Catch 22?...

2006-09-16T00:25:00.000-05:00

There has been a lot of advice on the net on how to deal with Stress. Yet is Stress really a catch - 22? I say no. It is something that you can not only beat, but use to your advantage as well. Why do I say this? Because I've done it myself...

I think the most important thing to over coming stress is your attitude toward it " the way you react to it " plays a big part on how you will deal with it. Like for example: Changing the way you think - viewing a difficult assignment at work or school as a chance to improve your skills, instead of Oh no! The sky is falling panic. This alone can change a life of stress to a life of challenge and excitement. Once you make a habit of this one thing in all parts of your life's daily grind, the rest is a cake walk.

...Athlete's Foot...

2006-09-06T15:25:00.000-05:00

Athlete's foot is caused by an organism that lives on the skin and breeds under warm, moist conditions. Can a couch potato get athlete's feet? You can bet your remote control. This fungus is an equal opportunity affliction. Male/female, athlete or not. Worse it can take 4 to 6 weeks to get rid of it.
The best tips I can offer are:

1. Baby your feet with soaking, rubs, and rest.
2. Salt your feet by soaking them in a salty water solution. 2 teaspoons of salt per pint of warm water. Do this at least twice a day. This is very unappealing to the fungus, and will also help antifungal medications penetrate deeper and act more effectively.
3. Air them out. No not your feet, your shoes. Remove the laces and prop them open. The air and sun outside will help kill the fungus germs. This even works for sandles as well.

...Helping Others Through Depression...

2006-08-23T15:30:00.000-05:00

What's the best thing to do if someone close to you gets depressed? Just "listen," more than anything they need your ear. If you know someone that you care about is depressed and hasn't said anything about it, go ahead and ask, "Do you feel depressed?" If they answer yes, then ask "When did you start feeling this way?" Because determing when a depression began often helps uncover the incident or events that might have caused it.
As your friend opens up to talk about his/her depression do your best not to trivialize the situation by saying "Oh, come on now, you have no reason to be depressed." Also don't offer easy solutions. It's better if the person finds they're own solutions, using you as a willing sounding board for ideas. Yet do try to keep your friend involved in physical activities, and interested in finding solutions.

TIPS:

1. Talk it out.
2. Search your memory for fun things to do together.
3. Even sitting down and having a good cry with your friend helps. Crying is a wonderful release - especially if your friend knows what he/she is crying about.
4. The best Nutritional tip is to take about 1000 milligrams of amino acid L-tyrosine in the morning on a empty stomach followed by a B-complex vitamin supplement about 30 minutes later with breakfast.
5. Also get your friend to eat a varity of fruit, and drink plenty of fruit juices along with plenty of filtered water.

...Allergies...

2006-08-14T17:16:00.000-05:00

An Allergy is what happens when your eyes itch and run, your nose plugs up and starts dripping, and your lungs wheeze and burn.
Allergies seem to come in almost infinite variety. Yet most fit into three basic categories: Contact, food, or inhalant allergies. Well, contact and food allergies you can either avoid those things that you come in contact with that break you out, and not eat foods that do the same or worse. You can also receive allergy shots from your doctor for these as well. Yet what about inhalant allergies? These are a bit harder to releive or avoid. The four biggest airborne trouble makers are house dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold. Here's a few tips that I hope will help.

1. Dehumidify your home with a dehumidifier. Keeping things dry, and will help put a stop to or ease some of your allergy symptoms.
2. Seal your winter bedding or summer bedding in plastic to store, and when in use be sure to run them in the dryer for 30 minutes at least once a week.
3. Throw out your carpets and buy throw rugs. You'll eliminate the very thing that holds the most dust mites, mold, pollen, and pet dander in your home.
4. Wash your mattress pads often in hot water.
5. Then if all else fails wear a face mask when cleaning and out doors.

I also must say this. If you are having any major problems or compilications due to allergies this could be what is called Anaphyactic shook. You should immediately see your doctor or go to the ER.

...Heat Heat and More Heat...

2006-08-04T13:21:00.000-05:00

Everyone knows how dangerous a heat wave can be, not only to our health, but our pocket books as well. So I decided to ask a few questions from a couple of ole timers on how to keep cool without shooting my electic bill even further through the roof than it already is. Well the best advise I got so far that really works is this...

Switch your ceiling fans to pull the air up instead of pushing all that hot air down. Get a couple of floor fans, but before turning them on take a few empty milk jugs and freeze water in them. Then place the frozen jugs of water behind your floor fans, and turn them on. Doing this there is no need to lower your AC temp. bringing your electic bill through the roof.

Doing this little trick now for a couple of months has worked very well. My electric bill has stayed the same and has even dropped a few cents.

Now if your power is out, that's different. The best I can offer is these few tips.
Open your windows.
Keep a wet cloth at hand.
Make little personal fans from stiff paper.
Wipe yourself down with wet cloth and use the little fans to wave air around you. This will cool your skin during the hottest part of the day.
Eat lite and drink plenty of water.
Eat a lot of room temperture water mellon and other fruits.
Also dress in lite, thin cotton clothing.

...Fun...Wrinkles...Sun...

2006-07-28T12:09:00.000-05:00

Doctors say too much sun causes wrinkles. Yet unless your a Vampire avoiding the sunlight is not a healthy thing to do. So the best thing to do is go for a healthy balance of fun in the sun.

Like avoid the midday sun rays between 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Wear a healthy dose of sunblock with a high (SPF) number. Apply to your skin about 30 minutes before going to swim or sun bathe. Also if you plan to avoid all that sunlight be sure to take vitamin D. It's an essential vitamin that sunlight provides us for good health. Oh! one more thing to avoid that will cause the very same wrinkling rays as the sun, is the all popular tanning booth. Your safest bet is to just run away from them, no matter how tempting.

...Blocked Coronary Arteries...

2006-07-22T23:07:00.000-05:00

Blocked coronary arteries that under go balloon angioplasty seem to have a problem with just closing back up again about six months after the operation. Which is a bummer when you look at the cost of such an operation. So how do you make your angioplasty last and keep your arteries open? Well according to the doctors at the Laval University and the Quebec Heart Institute it's really easy to do. The key is fish oil, taking 15 fish-oil capsules daily for about three weeks before an angioplasty, and for about 6 months after does the trick.

Yet to maintain good healthy open arteries to prevent ever having to have an angioplasty is even better. Also very simple to do as well. Make fish part of your weekly diet. Three severings a week of about 7 and a half ounces of fish should do it.

I'm eating my share for sure. After seeing what an angiplasty did to a friend of my Mom, I never want to have to even go there. So yes fish has become a staple in my home. From tuna to broiled salmon and lots of other sea-food as well.

...If You Don't Like To Eat 'Em...

2006-07-13T10:08:00.000-05:00

Then Juice 'Em!

Did you eat your health quota of fruits and veggies today? Probly not. The National Center for Health Statitics notes that very few people do. Which is very understandable. Who wants to chow down on five servings a day of fresh fruits and vegetable's. Even though we know we need them to get the optimum nutrition that our body needs to maintain good health.

Just Juice 'Em!

Because with all of our avoidance of choking all these fruits and veggies down we are setting up our bodies for a down fall. All these fruits and veggies we are missing are high in beta-carotene, and these diets that are high in beta-carotene have shown promise in preventing heart disease as well as certain kinds of cancer. So if your like me and desire to live to be 100 years old juice 'em and drink 'em.

Juice 'Em and Drink 'Em!

I like to call it Supplements in a glass, and the best weight watchers plan in the world. The only draw back is the juicing cuts back the fiber fruits and veggies offer. Something important you need to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. To fix this problem also eat a varity of fruits and veggies during the week, and only use the juice as a supplement not a replacement. Now that that's out of the way. I want to share my favorite juice 'em.

Carrot-Apple Gusto
--------------------
2-medium carrots
1-celery stalk
1-medium apple
1-medium beet with tops
1-cup of fresh parsley, loosely packed
Wash all really well in cold water. Then chop them into chunks. Remove the tops from the beets so they can be fed into your juicer easily.

This sweet and wonderful concoction will make one cup of juice. For more just double everything and so on...

...Earache...

2006-07-06T15:49:00.000-05:00

Did you know earaches are worse at night. Plugged eustachian tubes which lead from the back of the throat to the middle ear are the most common cause of earache.
As you chew and swallow, and are sitting up durring the day the muscles of the eustachian tubes contract, openning them and allowing air into the middle ear. But at night when you sleep, things change. You fall asleep feeling good with no pain, but those tubes are no longer draining naturally, and your not swallowing as often. Which means they aren't getting as much air. So you wake around midnight feeling like you are being stabbed in the ear by a hot poker.
Other things that can cause earaches as well are swimmers ear, infections, atmospheric pressure from airplane travel, and also deep-sea diving.
Well when your ears ache it's good to see your doctor, but until you get there, try these few tips to help lessen the pain.

1. If you can prop your head up slightly while you sleep to get better drainage.
2. Put warm mineral or baby oil drops in the offending ear. CAUTION: Never drop any kind of liquid into your ear if you think the ear drum may be punctured or ruptured.
3. Yawn - It moves the muscle that opens the eustachian tube even better than chewing gum or sucking on mints will. Relieving a whole lot of pressure and pain.

...A New Look and Arthritis Tip...

2006-06-29T01:34:00.000-05:00

I hope you like the new look of this blog. All the orange it had before was getting hard on my eyes, so I know it had to be affecting my readers as well.

Now for that Arthritis tip:
I found this works for Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I think you can find this product at any Therapeutic Supply and Services Company. For sure at 1924 Cliff Valley Way, Atlanta GA. 30329.
Eucalyptus ointment in the form of a thick, oil-based product called Eucalypta-Mint.
Just apply the ointment to the affected area then wrap in plastic wrap. To heat the area lay warm moist towels over it. If it's your hands or feet soak them in warm water instead. This ointment and heat treatment works for my elderly Aunt everytime she has a flare up.

... Insomnia ...

2006-06-20T15:02:00.000-05:00

"Oh boy!" Another one of those days very long, and it has left you dead tired." Yet you lie in bed, wide awake in the middle of the night. Don't feel alone. I think just about everyone goes through a touch of Insomnia these days. So what do you do about it, in a natural way?

1. Some use meditation - I find this works best for me. Doing a search on meditation will bring to light all kinds of methods to do this.

2. Some use exercise for the mind. They do this by taking about 10 minutes or so before bedtime to plan the next days activities, and solving perspective problems by putting them in their place for the night. Then when your in bed with it all rushing through your mind shut it all out by saying I've already dealt with all that and know what I'm going to do about it.

3. Don't turn you bed into an office or a den. Keep your bed for sleep. So that your mind will automaticly be ready for sleep instead of problems and work.

...Ouchie...Bursitis...

2006-06-16T01:42:00.000-05:00

Let one of these little sacs of fluid called bursae stop working, and you'll know just how painful the condition called bursitis really is. You have 8 of these little sacs around each shoulder, 11 around each knee, and as many as 78 on each side of the body.
What these little sacs called bursae do is ensure the smooth, frictionless working of the body's many joints. Compared with joint diseases like arthritis, bursitis is an ugly stepsister waiting for a date...lol...and meaner than mean. So here is some tried-and-true tips that may bring tempory relief from this painful condition.

1. Rest- The first thing you do with any joint pain is rest that thing.
2. Immobilize and Ice- 10 minutes of ice, 10 minutes of rest. As long as the joint is hot do not apply heat.
3. Attract relief with opposites- If the heat is gone and the pain or swelling are not terribly acute try a combination treatment. 10 minutes of heat then 10 minutes of ice and so on.
4. Count on OTC'S- An appropriate anti-inflammatory medication as long as your not allergic, Asprin is still the best.
5. Become a swinger- If it's the elbow or shoulder try bending forward and supporting yourself with your good arm and hand on a chair. Allow the painful arm to drop downward, then swing this arm back and forth, side to side, and finally in circles both clockwise and counterclockwise.

Now for myself all of these help, but I found that a capsule of ten works best. A time capsule that is, ten days at a time or more. All depending on how bad the injury is. It will take time to heal.

2006-06-05T16:44:00.000-05:00

For some people, back pain is an everyday event in their daily life. For whatever reason, it has decided to linger for what seems like an eternity. This recurring pain is called Chronic Back Pain. Where just about any little movement can set it in motion. These few tips are particulary helpful for chronic back pain suffers.

1. Lumber up - Which means get rid of the sag in the middle of your bed while you sleep. A piece of plywood between the mattress and the box spring works great.

2. For a natural anti-inflammatory, try some white willow bark. It can be found in capsule form in health food stores. Best taken after a meal.

3. Drown pain with a waterbed - One that is adjustable and doesn't make a lot of waves. In waterbeds you get equalized change in the pressure on various parts of your body, so you can lie in one position all night.

...Stress...

2006-05-30T13:04:00.000-05:00

Do you feel burned-out, beaten, or whipped with a wet rag. I know you know what it feels like to be on the battle ground of day to day struggles. It just seems like a endless circle of never getting ahead, and staying there is like looking at a dim light at the end of a long tunnel. It leaves us with very little energy for what the rest of life has to offer for sure. Yet trying these tips could help you reach the light at the end of that tunnel.

1. Work on your attitude: The important thing to remember about stress is that in most cases it's not whats out there thats the problem, it's how you react to it.

2. Learn to relax: Easier said than done...Try this, starting from the top to the bottom think of each part of your body tense it up, then let it relax. Then just lay there and enjoy the release it provides.

3. Breathe: Take the time each day to do some deep breathing, then relax and let your mind run until it becomes still. Enjoy this for about 15 minutes.

4. Stay as healthy as possible: Drink filtered water. Plenty of juices, and eat well by staying away from fast foods, and packaged foods, eat more fresh foods than any of the others.

...Heat Exhaustion...

2006-05-17T15:56:00.000-05:00

Each Summer people tend to spend a lot of time in the sun pushing themselves beyond safe limits. The not uncommon result is heat exhaustion: The excessive loss of body fluid results in a rise in body temperature. No one is immune to heat exhaustion. Even our best conditioned athletes have to deal with it. So what to do about it?

Tips:

1. Get out of the sun - find shade to rest in as often as possible.

2. Drink water - not gulped down but a little at a time.

3. Eat fruit and drink fruit juices - They have a fairly high water content
and a good salt balance.

Doing these three things will keep heat exhaustion away all Summer long. Better to be safe than sorry.

...What Does Stress, Psoriasis, and Meditation Have In Common?...

2006-05-08T21:48:00.000-05:00

The link between Stress and Psoriasis has been recoginized by doctors and patients long ago. Many people that have psoriasis report that during times of stress their symptoms worsen. The best natural method I can find for any kind of relief is Meditation.

Meditation use to be seen as a religious practice, but not anymore. Today millions of people are enjoying the health benefits meditation provides. The easiest and the most simple method that even a child can do seems to work the best. Just follow these simple steps below:

1. Sit in a upright position or lie on your back.
2. Breathing through your nose, inhale very slowly for a count of 4.
3. Hold about 3 seconds.
4. Exhaling through your mouth, release slowly for a count of 4.
5. Pause for about 3 seconds after exhaling, before starting the cycle over again.

Oh yeah! Don't try and make your mind go blank, just relax and let your thoughts run until they just run out.

Doing this for about 15 minutes every morning before starting your day will leave you nothing to lose but stress, and everthing to gain from some much needed relief of Psoriasis symptoms.

...Stressful Times...

2006-05-01T17:42:00.000-05:00

Stress is on the rise. Is it any wonder? With tensions flying high about the war in Iraq, and the possible run in with Iran, rising gas prices, and the cost of living going way beyond the rise in pay stress is going out the roof. So lets ease the tension some. If not for yourself at least for your loved ones.

1. Work on your Attitude - The single most important point about stress is that in most cases it's not what's out there that's the problem, it's how you react to it. Stress can be just like a roller coaster ride if you let it.

2. Think Positive - When feeling uncertain think about past achievement. It will boost your confidence back up.

3. Take time to Breath deep - Each day do some Belly breathing. It's a useful trick to defeating anxiety and nervousness.

4. Eat lots of fruit and veggies - Raw is best, and drink fruit juices. Fruta Vida juice works best for stress. You don't need to drink a ton of it for it's healthy affects to kick in.

...Cellulite...

2006-04-19T22:49:00.000-05:00

Well first off with Cellulite it's no longer mirror mirror on the wall whose the fairest of them all if you're carrying around those less-than-pleasing puckers along your thighs, on your derriere, or on the insides of your upper arms. It's avoid that mirror that can not tell a lie.
Cellulite is actually no more than pockets of fat. It's appearance is due to strands of fibrous tissue anchored to the skin, pulling the skin inward and, in the process, plumping the fat cells outward. Some people may be more susceptible to cellulite than others, especially women, who are less muscular in the buttocks, hips, and thighs than men.
Theres not much that can be done about cellulite, but here are some suggestions that could help.

1. Take up muscle-toning exercises.
2. Massage those trouble spots.
3. Add sage, cypress or juniper oils to your bathwater and soak a good 20 minutes.
4. Peel off the pounds-sinse cellulite is fat, excess weight can contribute to it. Gradually lose weight by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Drink fruit and vegetable juices, and filtered water you will lose weight and detoxify your body at the same time.

2006-04-16T01:26:00.000-05:00

Happy Easter to all of the world wide net. Now what does this have to do with your health. Easy it's one of the best times of the year to get and use all the protien the body can consume. Then pump some iron, walk, run, jog, or just workout. The bodies muscles will thank you. Then from being out doors your body will thank you again for all that vitamin K the sun provided. Yet where does all that protien come from. Why from all those eggs the Easter Bunny left you. Just have some fun and enjoy the holiday.

...HangOver?...

2006-04-11T13:27:00.000-05:00

Wow! I have been drinking Fruta Vida juice now for about a year due to various problems with my health that it helps, or has eliminated all together. I never would of thought about drinking it for a hangover...
Once you've had a hangover, it's something you never want again for sure. There's good evidence that the chief cause of hangover is acute withdrawal from alcohol. The cells in your brain physically change in response to the alcohol you consume and when your body's burned it up - you go through withdrawal until those cells get used to doing without it. Hence the hangover attack...
About the best way to deal with a hangover is to drink fruit juice "Fruta Vida works great" the sugar called fructose found in fruit juice will help the body burn the alcohol faster. With the headache being part of the hangover package it's also best to take some non-aspirin. Take B-complex vitamins with plenty of water. Alcohol causes dehydration of your body cells and drains the body of vitamin B. Eat a good meal, and drink coffee. Coffee will also help with the headache. Yet the best and only foolproof cure for a hangover is of course 24 hours. By then after a good night's sleep and your symptoms treated as best you can, all will be forgotten.

...Spring is Back and so is The Sunburn...

2006-04-04T14:45:00.000-05:00

Coming back into Spring is not only when all the outdoor fun begins again. You don't just burn to get into all that sunshine and fresh air either. You are also having to deal with the affects of it all to. Like the dreaded sunburn. Sunburns are a common malady among all the beach combers, and sun tanners. So these few kitchen cabinet remedies should come in handy.

1. Tea Bags on the eyelids-soaked in cool water works good on the swelling and pain.

2. Lettuce-I know how odd, but works well. Boil some in water, strain, then let the liquid cool several hours in the refrigerator. Dip cotton balls into the liquid and gently press or stroke onto the sunburned skin.

3. Cornstarch - This is the best. I've used it myself. Add enough water to cornstarch to make a paste, and apply it directly to the sunburn. Later rinse in a cool shower, then reapply again.

Have a wonderful Spring and Summer, and be careful in the sun.

...Do You Got A Boo-Boo?...

2006-03-31T12:31:00.000-06:00

Has the bandage made it all better? Until you have to pull the darn thing off, that is. Well here are a couple of things I learned to help you remove adhesive bandages painlessly. The first two tips are courtesy of a school nurse, and the last one is from Ed Watson, corporate spokesman for Johnson & Johnson.

* Use a tiny pair of scissors to separate the bandage part from the adhesive sections. Pull it gently away from your scrape. Then remove the adhesive strips.

* If your scab is stuck to the bandage, soak the area in a mixture of warm water and salt- about a teaspoon of salt to a gallon of water. Have patience. The dressing will eventually let go.

* If the bandage is stuck on your forearm, leg, or chest hair, pull in the direction of hair growth, says Watson. Use a cotton swab saturated in baby oil or rubbing alcohol to moisten the adhesive fully before pulling away from skin.

I truly hope these tips help. When it comes to boo-boo's and bandages theres not much else you can do.

...Bladder Infections...

2006-03-26T22:54:00.000-06:00

I would say about 90% of all women who get a bladder infection will discover that with the first or second antibiotic pill the bacteria causing the infection is gone. Yet that doesn't mean the infection is gone though. Thats why the symptoms will continue for about two to four days.
Tips:
* Be sure to continue taking your antibiotics until their all gone.
* Also drink cranberry juice and fruta vida juice this will rid you of that deep burn when you use the bathroom.

Now there are also signs of something very serious to be aware of with bladder infections. If any of these things occur please go back to your doctor immediately.

* Nausea or vomiting
* Pain in your flank or lower back
* Fever
* Blood in the urine

If any of the above show up with a bladder infection female or male, please be safe. See your doctor because these things can also be the signs of Cancer.

...Misleading Products...

2006-03-19T00:49:00.000-06:00

This has come to my attention while surfing the net, and really is scarry. I have found that there are a large number of sites making some very health hazardous claims. If you come accross a site offering products that are claiming to protect you from, prevent, or treat you for bioterrorism related agents like anthrax, chemical agents and biological agents please, please run away. These products have no scientific basis or backing to show that these products actually work or protect you. Much less any proof that they work to help your health at all. They're just playing on peoples fear to sell their products and make a quick buck, and thats not only dangerous but plain wrong as well.
The only tip I can give you for this type of health hazard is:

* Don't just make an appointment with your doctor if you think or believe you have been exposed to any of the agents above. Get to your doctor or nearest hospital so fast your head spins around. This is not something you can prevent, treat or cure with home or natural remedies. Because these agents are not natural.

...Arthritis "Lose Weight"...

2006-03-16T00:43:00.000-06:00

There really isn't one magic food or diet that's going to do away with arthritis pain, "But if you're overweight and you lose weight, it will reduce a significant amount of the stress and pain you feel in your spinal column, knees, hips, ankles, and feet." The reason for this is the more overweight you are, the more stress and pressure you place on your joints. In turn this increases the stress on the cartilage, which interferes with the bone, thus increasing inflammation, swelling, and pain.

Tips:

Your best solution is to work with your doctor or nutritionist to find a diet that works for you, and stick to it. Also drinking Fruta vida juice will help to.

Asprin- not to swallow, but to melt down in a little water and rubbed into the painful areas.

...Stress and Eating...

2006-03-13T00:06:00.000-06:00

Is stess eating you up, or are you eating due to stress. I have found that most people under a lot of stress will lose hair, get pimples, get hives, break out in shingles, but most of all will eat, and eat lots of junk food. Yuk! "Why would anyone want to hurt their bodies this way?"
Hives and Shingles are rare. The lose of hair and shingles run a close tie, but eating tops all of them 100% of the time. Stress is a major problem in the USA today, and most people won't even admit to being under stress, and those that do are taking drugs that they have to take another drug to counter act the first drug. It has become just as unreal as unreal can get. I'm beginning to think that our top goal today is how fast can we kill ourselves with ignorance. This use to be funny, but not anymore when I'm seeing younger and younger people dying needlessly each year. So take the time to read these tips and put them to good use.

1. Exercise, even if it's a short brisk walk each day.

2. Drink plenty of filtered water.

3. In place of all that junk food, eat fresh fruit and veggie's. Raw is best, just wash them well.

4. Sometimes eating ice instead of food between meals help.

5. When it gets really bad, set aside about an hour each evening to lay down and relax, clearing your mind and just not think of anything.

To top all this off remember that you are in control of your own body and what you do to it. So don't let stress control you. You see to it that you control it.

...Corns and Calluses...

2006-03-06T14:51:00.000-06:00

These ugly little bumps and lumps are a trash heap of discarded dead skin cells. They develop from friction and irritation between your feet and your shoes or even between adjacent bones on the same foot.
A Calluse is your body's way of protecting you from pressure. When there is extreme pressure the calluse will get thicker and thicker. If it develops a hard core, it becomes a corn. You can live with a calluse a lot easier than you can with a corn. Corns can be painful and will ruin a wonderful day. Try some of these tips to start your day if you are suffering from corns and calluses.

1. Resist the temptation to pare down corns and calluses with a razor blade, scissors, or any other sharp instruments. This could lead to infections and worse.

2. Enjoy a good soak in Epsom salts and warm water.

3. Try to avoid putting tight shoes on your feet.

4. Use a pumice stone to lightly abrade the area and rub off the top layers of skin after a good soak.

5. Use about 5 asprin in your soak water to soften really tough calluses.

Using these corn and calluses tips is the most comfortable natural way to maintain healthy feet.

...Can You Turn Back The Clock...

2006-03-02T14:58:00.000-06:00

I have found that fitness in many ways makes aging irrelevant. The human body and it's components---bones, muscle, metabolism and cardiovascular system play a big part in turning back the clock. The better condition they're in, the less likely age can prey on them. The most powerful tool to protect and improve the above components is exercise. The most vulnerable areas that exercise helps protect are:

1. Bone. It thins with inactivity and age, usually leading to osteoporosis.

2. Muscle. It withers away at a rapid pace as we start to get older.

3. Metabolism. Slows, slows and slows as the body shifts to less muscle and more flab.

4. Joints. Then when surrounding muscles have become weak, the excess weight causes strain, and inactivity restricts motion.

Exercise can and will prevent all of the above. Yes you can turn back the clock with exercise. Adding to that the more immediate benefits are lower blood pressure, healthier cholesterol levels and improved management of blood sugar levels. This alone should give you a strong reason to exercise into a healthy sweat every day. Then of course theres the most obvious excuse: A slimmer, shapelier, and firmer figure that this will produce. So stop reading, and lets get busy exercising, eating nutritionally, and drinking filtered water. Who knows maybe the ticks on that clock will stop tocking so fast.

...Cancer Causing Agents...

2006-02-27T21:18:00.000-06:00

The United States federal government recently added more items to it's list of likely or known cancer- causing agents.
They are now telling us that viruses which cause liver disease are also linked to cancer. Yet why would that be suprising? The liver is the organ in the body which filters out all of the poisons. If it's diseased, it can't do it's job now can it?
Viruses that causes sexually transmitted diseases have also made the list. Then so did approximtely 188 paint and industrial chemicals, and house cleaners, sanitizing, and perfuming. At this increditable rate we may as well turn the clock back about 100 years to avoid getting cancer. Truly not realistic when looking at it that way.
The best and only tip I can offer is that you take the time to do a little research on nutritional foods that you can eat to counter act all of the above, or at least gain the upper hand at lowering your risk of getting cancer, and other life threatening diseases.

...Women's Health...

2006-02-19T13:59:00.000-06:00

With the results of two studies that have questioned the value of calcium pills, vitamin D, and low fat diets. Women are left wondering what to do now. I don't profess to have all the answers, but I do have an Aunt that is 77 yrs. old, and has been there. She has never had a broken bone, and is still very healthy. What is it that has kept her from falling among the average. Well asking her, was the answer for me, and now I'll share those answers with you.

1. Take Calcium, and vitamin D supplements daily.

2. Eat what you want, but in small portions. Like instead of three major meals a day, eat six small meals a day.

3. Stay away from processed foods as much as possible, so as not to over-load your body with chemicals and toxins from the steps taken to process these foods. All those premade packaged food is nothing but junk that offers you no nutritrients.

4. If you intend to smoke daily, and drink acoholic beverages in a reasonable amount (like she still does today even). She said to be sure and stay active, and cleanse your body of toxins about once a month. She does this by sweating, and drinking filtered water all day, for one day out of the month.

5. Don't use sweeteners, they give you memory loss, and poison your system. Use regular sugar, or honey.

6. Stop worrying about it all so much. The stress from this alone will weaken your bodies natural defenses.

7. Finally for about a year now, she said, she has been drinking Fruta Vida juice every morning. To get the benefits of the antioxdants and nutrition it provides as a compliment to her diet.

She said that when it comes to women's health doctors don't know beans about it. Women should just stick together and tell each other what works and what doesn't. So there you have it. I know what I'm going to be doing.

...Lactose Intolerance...

2006-02-17T23:29:00.000-06:00

...Lactose Intolerance...
When most people think of Lactose, what comes to mind is usually basic information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to it than just the basics.

Truthfully, the only difference between you and the experts is time. If you'll invest a little more time in reading, you'll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to Lactose.

Does drinking milk bloat you up with enough gas to float around the world in 80 days? Does eating ice cream wake your neighbor from his afternoon nap caused by the subsequent intestinal rumblings? Does a cheese pizza in your belly produce enough diarrhea worthy of a laxative study? If so, you probably have lactose intolerance. Like the majority of humans that get some degree of intolerance to dairy products, your small intestine doesn't produce enough lactase, the natural sugar found in dairy products. But never fear, it's not dangerous. There is good news. You can have your ice cream and eat it, too. Here's how.

The obvious thing to do is decrease the amount of milk and dairy products you eat until your symptoms go away. Yet be sure to take calcium. Also never drink milk alone. Try to take your dairy products in small amounts with your meals. Eat yogart the organisms that make yogart what it is, also produce lactase to digest the lactose contained in yogart. You can also buy and add lactase to your milk or dairy products. The problem with this though is whether you add enough lactase or not. The big one is cheese. Hard cheeses are the best because they're fermented the most, and cheese has less lactose than milk.

I don't know if there's a growing interest in Lactose, but at least when people start looking for more information about it, you'll be in a position to meet their needs.

Acne Troubles Anyone...

2006-02-14T02:28:00.000-06:00

Acne Troubles
Have you ever wondered what exactly is up with Acne? This informative report can give you an insight into everything you've ever wanted to know about Acne.

The more authentic information about Acne you know, the more likely people are to consider you a Acne expert. Read on for even more Acne facts that you can share.
Did you know that you can still get Acne even as an adult?Stunned you stumble back from the mirror. You place your newly blemished face in your hands, while sitting on the edge of the bathtub with thoughts that seem to go back for eons, to a time of pimples and proms. You just can't help thinking: What is going on here? The answer is simple enough: You have Acne. Acne maybe the scourge of adolescent years, but can also follow people well into there middle years. So whats the cause of all the clogging? Well it's not chocolate. It's not dirty hair or skin, and it's not sex, either to much of it or a lack of it doesn't cause it either. So alright already what does? Heredity - at least for the most part. Acne is a genetic problem that tends to run in families. "It is an inherited defect of your pores."If both your parents had Acne, it's likely you and your sibs will have Acne to. But if your sister is pimple free while your face is a war zone, just be aware that other factors can aggravate an acne out break. Like stress, to much sun, seasonal changes, make-up and taking birth control pills. So what to do about it.#1. Avoid Cosmetic products that contain lanolins. These type of rich ingredients are putting oil on your face.#2. Wash your make-up off thoroughly every night, and be sure to rinse your cleanser off completely.#3. The biggest and best thing is to just scrub that face all the time.
So now you know a little bit about Acne. Even if you don't know everything, you've done something worthwhile: you've expanded your knowledge.

...Toxins...

2006-02-10T22:49:00.000-06:00

Did you know that the human body is being loaded with toxins everyday. You can say yea right. Yet it's true. We load our bodies with poisons and toxins from everything from vaccines, nonprescription and prescription drugs, tap water, water we shower with, swim in. Even from chemicals put in our food supply. The list just goes on and on. I also discovered that just doing the few things below have helped me become a more healthier person today.

Here are some tips to help counter act some of this noxish mix of toxins we subject ourselves to every day:

1. Drink eight full glasses of the purest water you can find a day.

2. Walk at least an hour a day. This makes your heart stay in shape.

3. Practice deep breathing. Your lungs need to be used. Deep breathing stimulates the immune system.

4. Sweat - I mean sweat until your dripping at least once a week. This is the best and most natural way to eliminate toxins from your body.

...Blasted Earache...

2006-02-07T22:01:00.000-06:00

Plugged eustachian tubes (which lead from the back of the throat to the middle ear) are the most common cause of earache. The situation is usually aggravated by a cold, sinus infection, or allergy. Well it's a fact, earaches are worse at night, and the reason is because at night your lying down and those eustachian tubes I told you about can no longer drain naturally into the back of your throat.

What to do:

1. Sit up- A few minutes up right will decrease the swelling and start the tubes draining. Swallowing will ease the pain.

2. Warm some oil to body temperture- Baby oil or mineral oil will work. Then dropping a drop or two of oil in the offending ear will help lessen the pain.

3. You can also count on pain killers- (acetaminophen, or ibuprofen) will usually buy you time until you can get to a doctor.

CAUTION: Never drop fluids into your ear if you think the ear drum may be ruptured or punctured.

...Bladder Infections...

2006-01-29T12:36:00.000-06:00

Hey Ladies, have you been spending a lot of time in and out of the bathroom? It just seems you need to go a lot, but when you get there - well, not much happens, and when it finally does it burns oh so bad. Whats the cause? Bladder infections are caused by the bacteria known as E.coli that will take up residence in the vagina and consequently make their way to the urethra, the tube through which urine flows. While in the vagina, the bacteria are no problem. The trouble only starts when they enter the urinary tract. This is a common bacteria that is present in nearly all women. This bacteria will irritate the wall of the bladder like giving your bladder a bad sunburn.

What to do:

1. Drink cranberry juice - This will put burning fire out.

2. Drink lots of fluid - This will keep the bladder well flushed of the bacteria that started it all in the first place.

3. These are signs of something more serious and needs a doctors attention immediately.

a. Blood in the urine.
b. Pain in the lower back.
c. Fever.
d. Nausea or vomiting.

...Tendinitis Blues...

2006-01-25T22:33:00.000-06:00

Tendinitis - Inflammation in or around, a tendon - can be painful. Where simple muscle soreness is temporary, tendinitis is soreness that doesn't quit. It's like here today, here tomorrow, here to stay.

Here are some soothing remedies:

1. Give it a rest. If tendinitis is a side effect of your job, it might not be a bad idea to save a day or two of vacation for those times when tendinitis is painfully persistent.

2. Brace yourself - A little extra support and warmth from a flexible brace or wrap.

3. Elevate - raising the affected area is also good for controlling swelling.

4. Strengthen - the affected area with little weights that you can lift at home.

5. When all of the above fail, go over the counter. Anti - inflammatory drugs are effective temporary pain relievers for tendinitis. This will also reduce inflammation and swelling.

...Boils Up-Date...

2006-01-23T17:23:00.000-06:00

Lately there has been an out break of boils, and I have come to find out that the majority of this out break is being caused by Staphylococcus bacteria infection. How did I find this out? My eldest son kept getting them repeatly on his back side. Each one was bigger than the other, and very painful. He was even starting to run fever with them. I finally talked him into going to see his doctor. His doctor told him there have been a lot of cases accross the U.S. in the last year. People seem to be picking up the Staphylococcus bacteria like hot cakes. It then enters the blood stream through cuts, mouth, and nose. The body's immune system then sends in white blood cells to kill the invasion. From this bottle debris (pus) is produced. In turn a pus-filled abscess begins to grow beneath the skins surface. Hence the boil swells to an eruption, drains, and subsides.

The only tip for this kind of boil is:

1. Go to your doctor. You need a course of antibiotics to kill the Staphylococcus bacteria.

...Hyperventilation...

2006-01-19T18:15:00.000-06:00

Put simply, hyperventilation is "breathing fast," or overbreathing. Anxiety is the most common cause, but if you've never had one before and suddenly start having hyperventilation problems, "you probably should be seen by a doctor." Though it is uncommon it could be connected to something worse than just anxiety, like lung diease, or a blood infection.

Here's a few tips:

1. Breath into a paper bag. Rebreathing into a paper bag will allow the person to replace the carbon dioxide "blown off" while hyperventilating.

2. Sit down, be calm, and relax. You need to slow your breathing. The more tense you are, the faster you'll breath. So relaxing and staying calm is your best bet.

3. Think beyond yourself. Try not to become consumed with thoughts of having another hyperventilation attack, so you won't have another right off.

...Kid's------Bed Wetting------Kid's...

2006-01-11T17:30:00.000-06:00

Bed-wetting can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing for a child. Me? I'm just thankful they out grow it in time. Being realistic about it is your best bet. Kids don't do it on purpose, so don't praise them when they are dry or punish them for that matter when they are wet. Just get over it and change the bed, and don't say a word. It'll go away by itself.

Some Tips:

1. Throw the bed-wetting alarms in the trash. Better yet give them away or make toys out of them.

2. Lay some extra night clothes out near by to change into. So they don't feel like a baby.

3. Put a rubber sheet cover over the mattress so even if the sheets have to be changed the bed stays dry, and this will also prevent stains to the mattress.

4. Practice patience and love - Be supportive. They will truly out grow the problem and no kid wants to wet himself. Patience and support is the bottom line.

5. If it happens every night then take your child to his doctor. The doctor can recommend some positive treatments that help.

...Depression...

2006-01-09T02:14:00.000-06:00

Depression:

If your not aware of this problem that seems to be so wide spread, then get your head out of the sand. Because everyone has ups and downs. Even the top experts on depression occasionally get bottomed out. But what is a known fact is that nearly all cases of depression can be reversed-even some of the most serious ones.

Tips:

1. Feeling a little down do something active. Hanging around the house and moping is sure to make you even more depressed.

2. Search your memory banks for things you used to enjoy doing. Then, pick one-and do it!

3. Talk it out- It's always helpful to share your feelings with someone. Loved ones, friends who care about you. Tell them whats on your mind.

4. Have a good cry- If talking about your problems leads to tears-then let them flow. Crying is a wonderful release, if you know what your crying about.

5. Nutrition- Sometimes just poor or lack of nutrition, that has caused a chemical imbalance can cause depression. So be sure to eat right and drink Fruta Vida juice, it contains all the right properties that can and will help you.

...Heart Disease...

2006-01-05T18:47:00.000-06:00

Are you heart healthy? The experts agree that having a good diet belongs at or near the top of their list for reducing the risk of heart disease. Like foods such as green leafy vegetables that contain vitamin E, and banana's that contain potassium. High potassium diets will help lower your high blood pressure. Which will also reduce your risk of heart disease.

Here are some tips to help you out:

1. Exercise - Regular exercise helps your heart become stronger. Just 3 ten minute periods a day of some form of activity will do the trick. Like walking up and down steps, some brisk walking, swimming, etc...

2. Stop Smoking - After 5 years of giving it up, puts your risk of heart disease on an even line as someone that has never smoked.

3. Good eating habits - from these groups will help to.
* bread, cereals and potatoes
* fruits and vegetables
* low-fat milk and dairy foods
* meat, fish and alternative - beans and lentils.

4. Drink Fruta Vida juice - if you read my blog regularly then you know what this juice can do for you. If not then read my blogs past posts, or just click the title of this post and read about it from my site.

...Lower Your Risk of Ovarian Cancer...

2006-01-02T23:36:00.000-06:00

Can this be done? If you said yes, then your so so right. I have written about the ingredients of Fruta Vida juice many times, and one of it's main ingredients is a green tea called Yerba Mate which provides polyphenols that help block cell damage that can cause cancer. In fact, just like the Yerba Mate the Cupuacu fruit, another main ingredient of Fruta Vida juice also contains polyphenols, and combined with these two is the awesome Acai berry packed with antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E and special phytonutrients called anthocyanins. What does this do with the polyphenols? In simple, gets rid of or stabilizes the free radicals, pollution, toxins in the body so they don't damage your cells.
So what does all this have to do with lowering your risk of Ovarian Cancer? Everything, according to the Sweden Archives of Internal Medicine. A new study they published in December of 2005 says that green tea may be linked to a lower occurance of Ovarian Cancer due to the polyphenols it contains, which block cell damage that can cause cancer.
So ladies starting today drink your Fruta Vida juice. I know I am.

...Stained Teeth...

2005-12-28T00:09:00.000-06:00

Have you ever thought about your teeth? They start out as pretty as a porcelain cup only to turn dirty and dingy looking after cola, tea, smoke, highly pigmented foods that slosh over them three or more times a day. After all this they tell a woeful story of stains.
Some tips:

1. Brush after every meal or everytime you eat. It makes for less of a chance to get stains on your teeth.

2. Rinse those buggers, and rinse, and rinse again after every meal or everytime you eat.

3. Use mouth wash that has a antibacterial action. This will reduce plaque.

4. Polish them with baking soda. Mix baking soda with enough hydrogen peroxide to make a toothpaste - like consistency. Then just brush those stains away. Try to keep this solution off your gums as much as possible, and be sure not to use to much peroxide, as it can cause some burning. Please keep away from children. I know they have toothpaste like this over the counter, but they are not strong enough to do what this will.
