A Simple Childhood Obesity Prevention Strategy That Really Works By Rick Osbourne

While it's true that childhood obesity (and related issues) is an extremely complicated, multi-legged monster that's costing American taxpayers over $100 billion annually, it's also true that preventing childhood obesity is quite simple if you know how to push the right buttons.

In the words of US Senator Chuck Grassley (Republican from IA) "Kids can immunize themselves against obesity, and they can do that by learning to do pull ups." Furthermore he adds, "As long as young people maintain the ability to do pull ups, most can naturally immunize themselves against obesity for life without ever having to resort to pills, shots, or special diets." (Congressional Record 6/08/09)

How Kids Learn to Pull Their Own Weight

So how do we help kids learn to physically pull their own weight? "Actually it's not all that hard either," said family practitioner Dr. Jacob Egbert of Columbia MO who's also a proponent of Grassley's simple pull up strategy. "If you combine a height adjustable pull up bar with a technique called leg assisted pull ups in which kids jump and pull at the same time, lower the bar to a level where your child can easily do 8 leg assisted pull ups, and gradually raise the bar one inch every week or every other week, you'll be amazed at the results. Eventually they run out of leg assistance and suddenly they're doing conventional pull ups."

An Ounce of Prevention VS a Ton of Cure

The key to success according to those who are most familiar with this strategy is to start young, i.e. pre-school or kindergarten, before supersizing starts to take root, and allow them to make regular progress over a period of several months. In other words the key is to be pro-active and work in the preventative mode instead of the rehabilitation mode. "Once the problem takes root, it becomes significantly more difficult to root out," Egbert said.

The Decision is Simple

In the view of educational administrator Dr. Larry Woods of Newburgh, New York, "The real question is, do taxpayers want to pay hundreds of billions of dollars trying to salvage young lives that have been sucked into this poisonous sewer? Or do we just want to prevent the problem in the first place? If kids in schools across America were learning to physically pull their own weight, the childhood obesity epidemic would be eliminated in one decade or less. It would become like polio or the black plague, something to read about in history books. And since the cost of doing nothing is about $124 billion annually, I'd say the choice is pretty easy."

Is There a Natural Cure For Rheumatoid Arthritis? By Alan King Jr Platinum Quality Author

Many people wonder if there is a natural cure for rheumatoid arthritis. Most doctors will tell patients who have been diagnosed with the disease that there is no proven cure for arthritis. What they mean is that modern medicine has been unable to come up with any cure for this condition. The question that many people ask then is whether there is a cure to be found in natural treatments.

Modern medicine has yet to determine the exact cause of RA. Without this information, they are unable to formulate an effective cure. There have however been some instances where people have found natural cures for arthritis. In all of these cases, the cure had something to do with their diet.

Treatment with Foods

The most promising natural treatment seems to involve seafood. Fish, in particular, seems to be particularly effective at curing arthritis. Some people discovered that when they added fish to their regular diets, their arthritis symptoms lessened. They continued to improve with continuous intake of fish. Eventually, people realized that it was the fish oils in the fish that was treating their arthritis problems.

Studies have since shown that there is a scientific basis behind this form of natural treatment for RA. The answer lies in the omega fatty acids in fish oils as well as other trace elements. These help to address the inflammation caused by arthritis and also the joint degeneration.

In some cases, conventional anti-inflammatory drugs have proven to be ineffective. In such cases, natural supplements derived from fish oils have been effective. In particular, omega-3 fatty acids have been particularly effective at combating rheumatoid arthritis. It works through reducing the effects of inflammatory agents.

Problems with Natural Treatments

While natural treatments do appear to have some potential, they still cannot be considered cures. Rheumatoid arthritis results in damage to the joints and surrounding tissues. Modern medicines have been unable to reverse this damage, and the body is unable to heal it on its own. Natural treatments have also proven to be ineffective at doing so. Thus while natural treatments are useful in treating rheumatoid arthritis, they have not yet reached the level of cures.

Still Useful

While natural treatments for rheumatoid arthritis cannot cure the condition, they should still be taken into consideration. Modern medicines have often proven to be relatively ineffective at treating rheumatoid arthritis. In such cases, people often despair of ever finding any help for their condition. When this happens, they should be made aware of the existence of natural treatments. These treatments are relatively inexpensive, and have often proven to be very effective.

For those who do not wish to consume supplements, simple diet adjustments have been known to work as well. Many fish such as salmon are known to contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. By including fish in their daily diets, patients have been able to greatly improve their arthritis symptoms.

It can therefore be said that there is no proven natural cure for rheumatoid arthritis. However, natural cures should not be simply dismissed, as many doctors are wont to do. So, if you find that modern medicines have no effect on your rheumatoid arthritis, you should seriously consider using natural treatments to control the condition.

Natural ADHD Treatment By Richard Bonney

Attention deficit disorder (ADHD) Natural treatment: ADHD most commonly involves impulsive behavior, the inability to stay focused, and possibly hyperactivity. ADHD can sometimes include mental and behavioral disorders that can keep one from learning or performing well. About 5-10 percent of children in the US are affected, and treatment is 10 times more frequently seen in boys. ADHD treatment can begin between the ages of 4 and 7 years of age and can sometimes go into ones adulthood.

The American Psychiatric Association lists 14 signs of which at least 8 must be present to be officially diagnosed as Attention Deficit Disorder or receive ADHD treatment. The 14 signs of ADHD are:

*Often fidgets with hands or feet (restlessness)

*Has difficulty remaining seated when required to do so

*Easily distracted by extraneous stimuli

*Has difficulty in following instructions

*Has difficulty awaiting turn in games and group activities

*Has difficulty playing quietly

*Often talks excessively

*Often shifts from one uncompleted task to another

*Has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks

*Often interrupts or intrudes on others

*Often loses things necessary for tasks

*Often engages in physically dangerous activities with considering consequences

*Often does not seem to be listening to what is being said

*Often blurts out answers before questions are completed

Conventional ADHD treatment: ADHD treatment usually consists of stimulants such as amphetamines, most commonly in the form of Ritalin. Common side effects of Ritalin according to the Merck Manual may include sleep disturbances, depression or sadness, decreased learning, reduction of growth, behavioral changes, headache, stomachache, suppressed appetite, and elevated blood pressure, not to mention ADHD drugs such as amphetamines can be highly additive drugs.

Natural ADHD Treatment: Pycnogenol an extract from the bark of the French maritime pine, consisting of phenolic acids, catechin, taxifolin and procyanidins, natural treatment for ADHD with pycnogenol has shown significant reduction of hyperactivity and improvement of concentration in children with ADHD.

Results Show: According to a 4 week randomized, placebo-control double-blind study, sixty-one children with ADHD were supplemented with 1 mg /kg/day of Pycnogenol. After one month of natural treatment with Pycnogenol, results were superior to that of placebo. In the placebo group no positive effects were found. One month after treatment and termination of Pycnogenol administration a relapse of symptoms was noted. Our results point to an option of ADHD treatment with Pycnogenol as a natural supplement to relieve ADHD symptoms of children. European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. 2006;15:329-335.

Effectiveness of the Birth Control Patch By Naomi West

There are loads of types of birth control that women can use that will aid them to prevent them from getting pregnant when they are not prepared. For certain individuals the birth control choice that they choose if rather effective and they will have to wait a year or possibly more when getting off of it in order to have a baby.

One kind of birth control that is not quite as standard as many others is the birth control patch. This is a slim, square patch that is no more than 1 ¾ inches and is put on the woman's skin. It functions by putting out hormones or particular chemicals inside of the blood stream. These hormones work to control the organs in the body and how they function.

Several women who discover about the patch are skeptic and question not just how it functions - but also how it can be effective when all it does is sit on your skin. It is similar to the function of a nicotine patch which can let go of the right chemicals that assist us to battle the urge to smoke.

The patch carries estrogen and progesterone - two common hormones that are contained in women. These hormones are discharged into the blood stream and function to forbid the ovulation process. Ovulation is when a woman will discharge an egg from her ovaries during the menstrual cycle. If the egg cannot be released then the man's sperm will not be able to fertilize anything. Therefore she is not able to get pregnant.

These hormones also serve to thicken the mucus that is developed within the woman's cervix. This can make it very tough for the sperm to travel through her and to grab hold of any of the eggs that may have been discharged. Likewise they will make it hard for any fertilized eggs to grab hold of the wall of the uterus.

The woman will utilize the patch dependent on her menstrual cycle. She will want to set it on the first day of the cycle and then one time a week for three weeks after that. The birth control patch is able to be placed on her stomach, upper arm, buttocks, or upper torso. In the fourth week she will take off the patch - but will start her menstrual cycle.

Tips on Strengthening Your Eyesight By Tiffany Provost

Your eyesight is very precious senses - it is something you rely upon every day for just about everything. Thus keeping your eye health is really important. You want to avoid early signs of weakening or even total loss of eyesight by following these eye strengthening tips.

Eat a healthy diet. The jury is still out, but a lot of people believe vitamin A will help eye strength. Vitamin A rich foods can help reduce night blindness and other problems. This includes foods such as broccoli, sweet potato, green leafy vegetables (eg spinach) and of course carrots! It is important not to overdoes on Vitamin A as it is toxic in high levels - it could lead to problems with your liver. Be sure to get sufficient vitamin A to keep your eyes strong.

Use a total range of vision. Just like any part of your body, if you don't use it, you lose it so challenge your eyes to focus on things near and far. Try reading fine print in the phone book and look out for signs that are far away - just generally test your eye's abilities regularly in all the ranges of distance.

Sunshine. Research shows kids who spend more time outside have better vision. Children who are outdoors two to three hours per day will have less of a chance of suffering from myopia (short-sightedness). Sunshine and fresh air have qualities to strengthen vision, here's one more reason to get your kids outside to play.

The correct eyeglass prescription. It is more harmful than helpful to have the wrong prescription in your spectacles. There is a possibility of eye strain and permanent damage to your eyes by wearing the wrong specs or contacts. No matter if you are classified as near-sighted or far-sighted, your eyesight will continue to alter. Regular visits to the optometrist are important to be sure your prescription is correct. The correct spectacles or contact lenses are important to your overall eye strength.

Corrective eye surgery. A permanent solution to strong eyesight is to get LASIK eye surgery. The surgery will get your eyes back to 20/20 vision or better. LASIK eye surgery has a good reputation in the industry with few complications but be aware that not everybody is a good candidate for vision corrective surgery. Go to a consultation at a LASIK surgery office to enquire about your eligibility. If you are eligible and you decide to go for it, be ready to incur a cost of a few thousand dollars (per eye) for vision correction surgery.

Addiction Treatment By Art Coburn

I know for sure that prescription drug abuse is on the rise around the world especially so in the United States.

One of these drugs happens to be hydrocodone and the leaders which contain this drug names are Vicodin, Lorcet, Lortab, and Norco. Addiction to these drugs is beginning to be seen as much as alcoholism.

This is frightening to say the least. Beating any type of drug addiction is hard but beating an opiate addiction is I think even harder.

First thing you will have to do is tell dispose of all your drugs and cut your ties to all your connections this means deleting their phone numbers from your cell phone.

If you do not do this it will be darn near impossible to stop using hydrocodone. The reason I say this is that the hydrocodone withdrawal is very unforgiving when you do kick.

If you are using drugs to manage your pain you may want to seek other alternatives like maybe taking Motrin or going to a health spa that deals in pain management.

In any case you will be faced with some heavy withdrawals so be prepared. If you have tried to quit several times on your own without success you may want to look into hydrocodone treatment.

Hydrocodone treatment is a growing very fast with the number of new addicts we are seeing daily.

In hydrocodone treatment you can choose to be medically detoxed by a completely trained staff. They will be at your beck and call twenty four seven.

In most treatment facility's they start you with subutex and lower your dose using suboxone.

This seems to work quite well and most people have no complaints and it is for the most part painless. So why not stop using today!

3 Surefire Strategies to Look and Feel Better By Diana Fletcher

Stop doing so much... Stop trying to do so much... Stop believing you can do so much

You truly believe deep down that you can do everything you want to, don't you? If you just can find the right system, make enough detailed lists, organize and strategize in the most skillful way, you will get everything done once and for all. But you can't, it is not possible in this fast-moving world for us to keep up. So if you truly want to feel better and look better, you have to stop.

Stop doing so much, stop trying to do so much, and stop believing you can do so much. It is possible to stop, but first you have to understand the importance of stopping. We are a nation of exhausted people. We have become a nation of overweight people, and now our children are becoming diabetic; we have high blood pressure, heart problems, insomnia and depression, these are not diagnoses that indicate healthful looks and vigor.

We don't look good and we don't feel good, and we will not live the long and happy lives that we are meant to live, if we don't make some changes. We spend our time hurrying and scurrying, and trying to get more and more done. We are trying to pack more and more into each day. It is impossible to fit everything into a day that we want to, yet we stubbornly keep trying. The reality is we cannot do it all! So, we need to focus on what we really, really want to do. We need to prioritize our lives, not just the items on a to-do list. We need to concentrate on what truly will make us happy and healthy, those are the things we need to do well.

Take the time to think about this: Why is it so important to try to do so much? Isn't it actually kind of silly that we work ourselves to the point where we cannot sleep, we are eating poorly, and we don't exercise? We run around to activities and do tasks that add nothing of fulfillment to our lives! We don't have time for what is truly important, our families, our friends, our rest and our health.

This could be the most cost effective, most economical way to look and feel great! So if this sounds good to you, STOP!

Penis Growth Must Start From Within - Learn About Natural Enlargement By Joseph Mackie

To see real penile growth you must start inside the body and then work your way out. There is a new natural enlargement method that does exactly this and it is quickly becoming the most effective way to make your penis grow. I used the natural enlargement method to add 4 inches onto the size of my penis and in this article I am going to teach you how you can do the same...

How to start internally

As the title suggest penile growth starts from within and it is only after you have taken care of the internal process that you can see external gains. The way to make your penis grow internally is to return the same biochemicals and nutrients that caused growth during puberty back into your system. These elements faded out of your body as you entered into maturity and they are an essential part of making your penis grow. What they do is cause chemical reactions within the cells of your penis which forces these cells to multiply. What this translates into is sustained and permanent penile growth externally, but you must first and foremost work internally to cause these gains.

Now work externally to get your desired results

The natural enlargement method is broken up into two steps. The first I have already mentioned is to return the biochemicals and nutrients back into the body. The second involves a series of penile exercises which will encourage blood flow into the penis and retain it there. The reason it is important to bring blood into the penis is due to the fact that the biochemicals and nutrients use the blood as their transport system. Therefore the more blood you have shifted into your penis through exercise and the longer you retain it there - the better chance the biochemicals and nutrients have of restarting the chain-reactions that will make you bigger.

Use natural enlargement to add 2 - 5 inches onto your penis

Natural enlargement makes adding gains between 2 - 5 inches onto your penis a foregone conclusion. Just use the same natural enlargement program that I did to make my penis grow by 4 inches and you will see similar results. Natural enlargement is the best method you are going to come across to safely and effectively add the size you desire - guaranteed.

It is affordable and if taken in the proper dosage and for the right amount of time it can help get rid of your asthma for good.

There are so many different prescriptions that asthmatics are told to take and how to get rid of Asthma is not even really given as an option. Why is it that there is rarely any hope given for a cure for asthma? I won't go into why I believe this is in this article, perhaps another time. why not give a natural God- intended way a try?

The Secret Key to Beautiful Tresses - 10 Simple Tips on Hair-Care

Now-a-days, most of the people fail to find enough time to take proper care of their hair owing to a busy daily schedule. Moreover, all the remedies and a wide range of products that promise great, shining hair seem to have no great effects on our lifeless tresses. Also, most of the effective hair-treatments and therapies are not only time-consuming, but also very costly.
But, you need not worry at all. You need not waste your time, energy, and money in world-class hair saloons anymore. Here are a few simple tips to be followed every time you wash your hair:
1) Never wash them in very hot water. The water used should be maintained at a low temperature. During winters, slightly warm water should be preferred over the hot, steaming one.
2) Make sure you wash them every alternate day or at least every third day. Do not wait for a Sunday to wash your hair.
3) Recognize your hair-type and purchase a suitable shampoo accordingly.
4) Never apply the shampoo directly on the scalp. Either evenly distribute it on your palms or dilute it in water before applying. For instance, mix a drop or two of the shampoo with double the amount of water in a mug and apply this solution on the scalp and rinse well.
5) You need to take extra care while washing if you prone to acne. As shampoos tend to aggravate acne, it is advisable to rinse the face, neck and back thoroughly after the hair wash.
6) Conditioning the hair after shampooing is indeed very important to keep the hair healthy and well in shape. Use a branded conditioner and make sure it is formulated for your particular hair-type. Now-a-days, it has been observed that conditioners tend to aggravate hair fall and therefore, it is better to use egg yolk or any other herbal product as a conditioner. However, the best solution is to oil your hair well and leave it overnight before washing.
7) If you wish to use a blow dryer, make sure you set it at low 0or medium heat. Also, never brush or blow-dry wet hair.
8) Never over brush as it tends to make your hair greasy and can also damage the scalp.
9) Make sure you get regular trims to avoid split ends.
10) Although coloring hair is not advisable, it can be done once in a while. But, it is very necessary to have your hair in the best possible condition before coloring. Also, use branded hair serums before you go out in the sun.
Last, but not the least, it is indeed very important to eat a healthy, balanced diet for maintaining the health and beauty of your hair! In short, great nutrition is the most important pre-requisite for getting awesome hair.

Grape Seed Extract Restores Insulin Sensitivity By Byron Richards

A powerful new study shows that grape seed extract turns back gene signals that help insulin receptors work properly, a major discovery for any person concerned with their weight or diabetes. This is similar to findings for resveratrol, another anti-aging compound found in red grapes.
A common problem leading to major health issues is that insulin no longer functions properly in metabolism. It is common that insulin resistance occurs, a situation wherein there is too much of the hormone insulin but it isn't doing anything helpful. This is because hormones latch on to receptors. Think of a hormone as a phone call and a receptor as the person answering. If nobody answers then communication is not going to happen. This is a common problem for many hormones during aging - there is a general issue of resistance.
It is of little value to put insulin into someone whose insulin receptors are not working very well, as all that happens is you make the person fatter even if you lower their blood sugar a little bit. You might think this is a stupid point to mention, but doctors do it to diabetic patients all the time.
This new study shows that grape seed extracts can actually turn back on insulin receptors, restoring more youthful function. This is of immense importance to any person whose fasting blood sugar has risen above 90, in terms of preventing or helping to reserve metabolic problems. Longevity is also linked to healthy blood sugar and insulin function.

Hypertension Problem? An Easy Exercise Can Lower Your Blood Pressure! By Rene Michel

Research has not managed to fully explain the causes of hypertension. It may be classified as essential or secondary. Essential hypertension is the term for high blood pressure without a single clear cause. It accounts for about 95% of cases. Some of the factors that have been associated with hypertension are food habits, lack of physical activity, obesity and too much stress or anxiety. Secondary hypertension is the term for high blood pressure with a known direct cause, such as kidney disease, tumors or birth control pills. Blood pressure does not automatically increase with age. But in the real world it often becomes a bigger problem the older you get.

Hypertension is a common problem, the antihypertensive market is one of the largest markets in the world for prescription drugs. A lot of different kinds of medicines are available, such as Beta Blockers, Alpha Blockers, ACE Inhibitors and Calcium-channel Blockers. Unfortunately, most of them have negative side effects so it may take some testing to find the best medication for each person; one that balances the benefits against any side effects.

Another problem with using only antihypertensive medication to lower your blood pressure is that you are not fixing the real problem. Generally, this means life style changes, such as healthier food and more physical activity. Without changing your life style, the problem is just being suppressed by the medication. This works for a while but then the hypertension starts coming back again and more medication is needed.

Changing your life style can require a lot of will power and it takes time to get result. Still it is the best long term solution. By using stress management techniques and breathing exercises it may be possible to get better and faster results. Slow breathing has helped many to lower their blood pressure.

In this case slow breathing means six to seven breaths per minute. Many people have managed to lower their blood pressure by trying slow breathing for 15 minutes daily. Some people have got good results with eight to ten breaths per minute as well. For many it may take a couple of sessions just to get down to ten breaths per minute. But it is more important to keep your breathing natural, rather than trying to force the number of breaths down. If you try too hard, you may start to hyperventilate which will raise your blood pressure.

Why Should I Eat Healthy? By Jerry Dye

Well, eating healthy should be a no-brainer for everyone but let's have a look at some of the reasons why it is so important and some of the questions it generates.

Why should I eat healthy if it won't make me slim?

If you are overweight then eating healthy will play a part in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. People who continually fail while attempting to lose weight and then become defiant about their own eating habits often ask themselves this question.

In simple terms the health benefits you are about to read about should be reason alone but if losing weight is your goal then eating healthy has to be combined with other factors such as your personal lifestyle, exercising and motivation. What you should know is that your healthy eating plan should not necessarily be the same as someone else's. Variables such as sex, age, height, weight and activity are all factors that will determine what your healthy eating plan should consist of.

Why should I eat healthy if certain diseases run in the family?

A nutritious diet will ensure that your body receives the correct nutrients that will prevent certain types of cancer. Also, reducing your intake of saturated fats will lower the risk of developing heart disease. By receiving the afore mentioned nutrients this will help your body strengthen your bones, tendons and muscles. In addition, if you currently experience health issues such as diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure then eating healthy will help to control these problems

Why should I eat healthy if my parents didn't think it was a problem?

Previous generations probably ate healthier than nowadays but just didn't realise it. Going back between 30-40 years ago, or longer, fast food, TV dinners and microwave meals were not as readily available as they are now and your parents were more likely to get you to eat the vegetables on your plate ( no doubt under protest) and make you finish eating them with the threat of sanctions if you didn't! So, unwittingly, they were getting you to eat healthier. Times change though and people's lives became busier and more hectic leading to lazy and convenient eating habits for themselves and their families.

It is up to all concerned parents to change their own eating habits and that of their kids. The rate of childhood obesity is now so alarming that as responsible adults it is our duty to educate our kids to eat properly and secure their health and the health of their own kids. Not only will you see a difference in your kids health but, once you remove the additives and flavourings from their diets then you should also note an improvement in their behaviour. This is backed up by scientific fact.

As you can see "why should I eat healthy?" is a question that can be asked in various different forms but every answer should be a catalyst for us to change our eating habits forever.For details email:freediabetictips@gmail.com

1. Your hunger comes on suddenly and it feels urgent (you have to have a certain food NOW and will go out of your way to get it, even go out at 1am to the store!).
When you have true hunger/physical hunger it comes on slowly and is patient. It can wait until you are able to get food, it doesn't need to be satisfied immediately then and there. Emotional hunger on the other hand demands you feed it NOW and you usually will end up shoveling the food down like you haven't eaten in days.

2. You crave specific foods - usually junk.

3. Your hunger will coincide with an upsetting emotion.
Hunger that is connected with upsetting emotions is definitely emotional hunger. If you find you eat straight after someone has upset you or after a stressful event than it is emotional hunger more often than not.

4.You don't even realize that you are eating sometimes - eating is something very automatic.
If you are genuinely hungry you will usually be aware of it and mindful. Emotional anger on the other hand isn't mindful and is the reason why many "forget" what they have eaten that day and do not acknowledge their snacking.

5. You keep eating even when you are full.
You can satisfy your true hunger without overfilling. Emotional hunger however never really feels satisfied so you end up eating after you are full and ready to pop. We want to keep having the taste to help us the numb the feeling.

6. After you eat you often feel a sense of guilt and regret.
If you feel guilty after eating, then it is most likely emotional hunger - you know deep down that what you doing isn't to satisfy true physical hunger.For more details email:freediabetictips@gmail.com

Recognize Underarm Perspiration to Get an Apt Treatment By Ana Francis

Like many people you may feel very uncomfortable while sweating uncontrollably. It is not very strange to perspire, as sweating is a natural process. Everyone perspires. The only difference is how much you perspire and when the problem comes through. If it is an everyday occurrence, then you are right to be tense. It is not very uncommon either if you are bored and tired in the look for a proper treatment. Sweating a lot in normal condition is given the medical term hyperhidrosis, which is not a serious medical condition. At the same time you should not take it lightly because underarm perspiration can affect both your physical and mental health.

There are both natural and surgical treatments available to cure underarm perspiration. The natural treatments are proven the best in the long term. Other cures, such as botox, deodorants and anti-perspiring are often very effective to certain individuals. To make sure what suits you the best, you should contact your doctor first. They will probably have the solution best suited for you. Most of the prescribed deodorants consist of aluminum chloride, which absorbs your unpleasant body odor. There is still one solution left for you, which is the surgical treatment. This method is permanent, even though it can be harsh to your health in the long run.

You are advised to consider natural remedies before you consider long lasting artificial or surgical treatments. Natural remedies are very easy to maintain and will give you a boost of healthy lifestyle. One natural way to solve underarm perspiration problem is to maintain a healthy diet. A balanced diet will not only reduce sweating, but also it will keep you fit. Don't forget to avoid caffeine or alcohol, as they can trigger sweat conditions. Avoiding spicy food is another key factor to maintain.

When you are thinking of adopting natural remedies, always consider what kind of cloths you are using. You are encouraged to use fabrics which allow air to penetrate your underarm perspiration. The unpleasant body odor and excessive sweat are likely to evaporate easily if you wear loose clothing. As you can see, there are still plenty of alternatives available for you to get rid of sweating. So don't be desperate. Take time in whichever way you choose and you are sure to get the solution if you are truly focused.

Fight Depression With a New Attitude By Carolyn Hansen

Human beings were meant to move - a lot. We cannot deny the fact that our genetic blueprint was formed back when our ancient ancestors had to survive that harshest of conditions. Being highly active stimulated chemicals that told the body's operating systems that strength, endurance and health was needed for example to feed a family.

Once hard physical activity slowed or stopped it meant that the family now could feed and fend for itself and the work of reproduction for survival of the species had been done. This meant that humans that were no longer productive had to make room for the next generation. That is the way of nature.

Our genes have not changed, but our modern world has changed a great deal. Technology and mechanization has meant that almost every scrap of physical activity has been removed from our lives leaving our bodies without the mechanism to remain healthy. Sedentary lifestyles mean our bodies can't operate as they were designed to operate affecting not only our physical health but our mental health as well.

The soothing body chemicals that nature meant us to use as natural calming agents don't get a chance to work their daily magic if we don't stimulate them through vigorous exercise. This affects our moods, our happiness, motivation and our pleasure in living. Research has proved that inactive people have twice the risk of becoming depressed.

Some of the benefits of a proper exercise program in treatment for depression are as follows:

People have reported that when they exercise they experienced:

• thinking more clearly, feeling happier and better about themselves
• an increased positive mood, a sense of well-being
• weight loss and improved strength and vigor
• reduced stress, anger and fatigue
• an increased motivation along with greater self esteem
• felt less negative and pessimistic
• less nervousness, anxiety and better sleep
• looking and feeling younger
• greater self confidence

There is increasing evidence proving that exercise plays a vital role in uplifting depression, increasing energy and renewing vitality. Some doctors are prescribing an exercise routine instead of, or in addition to medications. An exercise program could well be the cheapest and most available anti depressant and according to research, is as effective as any drug is for healing depression.

Depression can make it hard to be motivated to get moving, so seek the help of a fitness professional to help you get started and ensure you are exercising correctly and safely. They will also monitor your progress which will keep your motivation levels high.

Although it may be a few months until the full beneficial effects of your exercise program kick in there will be immediate 'feel good' feelings each time you exercise which will make you happier and keep your mind trouble free.

You will also get more energy exercising and have a better more positive outlook on yourself and your life. If you do not already appreciate all of the wonderful things in your life you just might start.Email me for details: freediabetictips@gmail.com

Wound Dressings - Transparent Film Dressings By Laurie Swezey

Many health care professionals use transparent dressings on a frequent basis, but may not be aware of the purpose of these dressings. In fact, these dressings are not meant for all wounds. Read on to discover everything you ever needed to know about transparent film dressings.

Product Overview

Transparent film dressings are thin dressings which have no ability to absorb fluids. They act as a "second skin". Imitating your outermost skin layer, they keep a moist wound environment, similar to a blister. They are semi-permeable to gases and have the ability to transmit moisture vapour. These types of dressings permit the migration of epithelial cells over the wound surface. Fluid often accumulates under these dressings.

Indications

-can be used on stage 1 and 2 pressure ulcers
-superficial wounds
-lacerations, or to cover sutured wounds
-minor burns
-to protect catheter sites and donor sites
-superficial dermal ulcers
-can be used to protect against friction

Contraindications

-must be applied to healthy skin, not to aging or fragile skin
-not recommended for infants or small children
-do not use on exudation wounds
-do not use for infected wounds

Advantages

-a cleaner wound surface is created as the accumulation of fluid under the dressing creates an autoloytic environment
-an excellent protective barrier against surface contaminants, bacteria and fluid
-provides protection from friction
-aids in pain control
-aids in autolytic debridement
-can be used as a secondary dressing
-can be left on for up to 7 days
-numerous shapes and sizes are available to fit a wide variety of wounds

Disadvantages

-fluid which accumulates under the dressing is sometimes mistakenly identified as pus
-the dressing needs to be changed when fluid accumulates excessively or leaks out the side of the dressing
-maceration of the skin around the wound (periwound) may occur if the dressing is not changed when it should be

When removing the dressing, care must be taken to ensure that you don't tear or damage the skin. To remove, lift the corner of the dressing and pull the film outwards to the edges of the wound to break the barrier. It is important to support the surrounding skin during dressing removal.

In addition, some prefer to use skin protective sprays or wipes on the periwound area before application of the dressing. These help to keep the dressing edges from rolling.

Perhaps reading the last few articles regarding wound dressings has made you realize that there are many things you aren't aware of when it comes to managing wounds in your client population. If so, we will be continuing our series on types of dressings over the next couple of months. If you would like to become truly expert in caring for your clients' wounds, you may consider becoming certified in wound care management.

Top Ten Reasons to Quit Smoking Today By Rowena Fernandez

As we all know, smoking is indeed hazardous to our health and despite the many attempts by the media, government and various companies to encourage smokers to quit, there has been no change at all. There have been advertisements, commercials, disgusting pictures on cigarette boxes, awareness campaigns, price hikes and whatever else but none of them have worked effectively. Well, here are ten simple reasons why you should put out that cigarette!

First, after kicking the habit for about a year or so and putting the money spent on cigarettes into a jar, you would have save enough to go on a Caribbean cruise. After another year, you would have saved enough to spend on the person you met while on your cruise.

Second, your breath would smell better than your pets, and your car, home, office, clothes and hair would generally smell better too.

Third, generally speaking, you would have a longer life span so you would blow out more candles over the years and you'd be around to spoil your grandchildren and sneak them pieces of cake when no one is looking.

Fourth, you won't have to worry about cigarette smoke affecting your relationships. If you want to date a non smoker, you wouldn't be conscious if the smell bothers her and you would be way more kissable as a non smoker.

Fifth, you wouldn't have to worry about impotence in a long run as you would have the same expectancy as a non smoker if you lay off the tar and nicotine sticks for a long time.

Sixth, there would be no concern about impotence, erectile dysfunction, heart diseases, cancer, and lung infections and so on.

Seventh, your skin would improve tremendously and you'd be saving on beauty products as you wouldn't have to invest in zit creams and wrinkle potions so much.

Eight, there would be less sneaking around, if you want to hide the habits from parents, children, grandchild and such and you would be a much better role model to the younger ones too.

Ninth, you could use your story of quitting cigarettes as an important one and scare your kids into believing that smoking really does kill hence the reason you stopped and were one of the lucky saved ones. This way, they won't be too eager to try.

And last of all, you would boost the quality of your life in general socially, emotionally and physically as well. So kick the habit today and pick up a healthier hobby instead.

Tips For Managing Or Reversing Your Type 2 Diabetes By Douglas Husbands, D.C.

To control your diabetes, controlling your insulin response throughout the day should be your goal rather than lowering blood glucose (blood sugar). Why? An imbalanced insulin response occurs before an elevated blood glucose. Therefore, by controlling your insulin response you are intervening in the process leading to elevated blood glucose. Normal insulin response causes proper response of other hormones, such as leptin and ghrelin, which is beneficial for healthy body fat/weight.

Here are 9 tips for controlling your insulin response:

1. Always eat breakfast containing some proteins, fat and carbohydrates within 30 minutes of waking up.

Your cortisol levels are highest when you wake up in the morning. Your energy upon awakening before breakfast is produced mostly by cortisol which breaks down lean tissue (bones, muscles, joints, skin) to make glucose to keep your brain and body running. Decreased lean body tissue will lead to accelerated aging.

2. Don't have coffee first thing in the morning before breakfast.

Caffeine stimulates cortisol output. See #1.

3. Exercise an hour a day 5 or 6 days a week, preferably in the morning.

Besides insulin release, exercise is the only way food is used for energy rather than stored as fat or glycogen. With excess carbohydrate consumption, the excess is rapidly converted into triglycerides and then stored in fat tissue, and a little stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. When you exercise in the morning, your body cannot store fat as easily because it is using more energy for the rest of the day. This increases your body's sensitivity to insulin.

4. Eat small, frequent, healthy, well-balanced meals and snacks about every 3 hours throughout the day.

Your pancreas release insulin when you eat. Eating smaller frequent, healthy meals and snacks causes gradual fluctuations in insulin release, more stable glucose levels, and more stable energy and moods. It also helps your body burn calories more efficiently. In comparison, when you eat every 6 hours or more, you get a meteoric spike of insulin. This makes the pancreas work harder, and causes greater fluctuations in glucose and your energy level. Furthermore, your body will store fat more easily.

5. Eat at least 7 to 9 servings of dark green leafy and brightly colored vegetables and fruit each day (a serving of fruits and vegetables is about the size of a baseball, before cooking).

Vegetables and fruits contain a wide variety of vital nutrients that have properties which balance hormones, help prevent infections, help your body's recovery from stress and injury, help your body burn calories efficiently and help you maintain stable insulin output and glucose levels. In general, the deeper the color, the more nutrient dense it is.

6. Drink at least 1/2 ounce of water for each pound of body weight each day.

All processes in the body occur in the presence of water.

7. Have 2 to 3 bowel movements each day (if you do the above regularly, this will likely happen)

Besides urinating and sweating, our body cleans itself of toxins through bowel movements. If you do not have 2 to 3 bowel movements each day, you are consistently and slowly building up toxins in your system. Over time, this has harmful effects to all body systems, including insulin levels.

8. Keep a stable temperament and a positive attitude.

Our brains and nervous system are the master control regulators of all bodily functions. Negative dispositions, such as moodiness, irritability, anger, bitterness, unforgiveness and ingratitude negatively affect all hormones and digestive processes, accelerate aging and makes us more susceptible to harming ourselves or others.

9. Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night and don't stay up later than 10 PM at night.

Melatonin (the sleep hormone) is released in response to decreased light. Melatonin is a very powerful antioxidant for the brain cells. Growth hormone (the main recuperative, repair and recovery hormone) is released in 10 to 20 minute pulses about every 1-2 hours during deep sleep at night. The longer you stay asleep the more total growth hormone output and the more repair and recovery from daily stress. With consistent, good night's sleep, less cortisol is produced. This results in less stress on your body, less fat deposited around your waist and less aging. All these hormones coordinate with insulin response.For more details email :freediabetictips@gmail.com

Anxiety and Depression - Medication Concerns By Robert D Hawkins

Prescription medications for anxiety and depression can be very effective in treating these potentially serious conditions if the drug, dosage and the patient's commitment to getting better are all present. Most of us consider our doctor's miracle workers and indeed in some ways they are, but they are human as well.

Arriving at the correct dosage and medication is not an exact science when it comes to mental disorders. Think of the treatment plan as your recipe and your medication as one of the ingredients in the recipe. What do you do if you fail to have an ingredient? More than likely you improvise leading to varying degrees of tastiness. But if you were to have all of the ingredients that your recipe called for chances are your dish would turn out as anticipated.

Medications of all kinds work best when they are taken as prescribed. They work less effectively when taken haphazardly, and may not work at all if doses are missed frequently. So in knowing this why would anyone fail to take their medication as prescribed?

Complicated dosing schedules can be a problem that is difficult to overcome. Also, a person may be on multiple medications at the same time requiring a virtual personal assistant with a degree in physics to keep tract of the schedule. The very young, the very old, and people with ADHD may not remember to take all their doses. Teenagers sometimes skip doses intentionally, and sadly some parents who are in divorced or separated situations take it out on the kids, in an attempt to get back at the perceived bad parent.

Another medication concern for those with anxiety or depression has to do with dosage. This is especially true in periods of economic distress. Seniors who are struggling to afford their prescriptions may take just half or a quarter of the intended dosage trying to make their medications last longer. Certain medications for depression such as Prozac that are specifically formulated for brain function will not work if the full dosage is not taken.

In summary, if you work with your doctor to find answers, take your medication on time, and don't try to cheat the dosage your chances will be very good at finding a medication regime that works well, in your pursuit to overcome anxiety or depression.

Additionally, many people are choosing to walk down a different road in their fight against anxiety or depression; the road of natural herbal remedies. Natural herbal remedies for mild to moderate anxiety or depression are proving to be a safe and affordable alternative to harsh prescription drugs. If you are looking for a natural treatment option this is an area worth considering.For more details email: freediabetictips@gmail.com

Taking Steps to Understand and Cure Anxiety Attacks By Jon Arnold

An anxiety attack is the body's reaction to stress, plain and simple. The stress is usually something that occurs environmentally, although frequently it can also be self-induced stress to an imaginary threat. An anxiety attack can also be accompanied by a number of negative thoughts that can cause you to feel out of control.

This condition generally lasts for a few minutes, but can go on for as long as thirty minutes for some people, depending on how severe it is and how they cope with it. Many anxiety sufferers can feel one coming on, with a strange sense of nervousness just before one occurs.

Generally speaking, an anxiety attack can also be another term for a "panic attack," which is an unexpected episode of irrational fear in which a number of physical symptoms are present. Panic attacks can be debilitating and may recur. Although both of these types of attacks are similar, some people use the terms interchangeably, whereas others more accurately see a panic attack as being a severe form of an anxiety attack.

Unfortunately, this condition can happen at any time to those who suffer from this disorder. Some studies have pointed to a steady increase of people who suffer from this and other stress related disorders. These attacks can cause actual pain. Chest pain is common and it may become severe, leading the individual to think he is dying or perhaps even having cardiac arrest. During such an attack, the person afflicted with it will experience chest pain, shortness of breathing, head reeling and heart palpitations.

An anxiety attack will never kill people, but asthma is life-threatening. If people are unfortunate enough to have both conditions, they must be extremely careful. This condition is a period of intense fear with physical sensations. When you initially start having these episodes, it can be very dangerous for you. An anxiety attack can be a terrifying experience, and involves a period of intense fear or discomfort, typically with a sudden onset and usually lasting for no more than 10 minutes. Sometimes a person can experience a panic or anxiety attack suddenly without an obvious reason.

Although this affliction is indeed unfortunate, there are treatments which can resolve the problem for almost all people. Sometimes it may simply involve some counseling sessions with a trained professional who can teach the person about how to view different circumstances without such fear or dread. Other times medication is necessary to help the person to see an anxiety attack coming on, recognize it, and deal with it. If you suffer from this affliction or know someone who does, get help as quickly as possible so that the problem does not get worse.

Do You Know What Causes Wrinkles and How You Can Prevent It? By Frank Langella

If you want to know what causes wrinkles and what the best way to prevent them is, you have come to the right place. There is a lot of misinformation going around related to anti aging skin care. There are so many products, each claiming to be the best one. How does one know which is the best one out of them?

Our skin is held together by the two proteins - Collagen and Elastin. Our body manufactures them internally and they are responsible for keeping our skin firm and tight. With age, our body's ability to produce these proteins keeps on decreasing. The resulting lack of collagen and elastin is what causes wrinkles and fine lines to develop in the skin.

The obvious solution to this problem is to increase the collagen content in the skin. The trick is in finding the right way to do this. A common method people use for this is to inject collagen into the skin. Is it a good way to go about increasing collagen? Let's find out.

Collagen injections do seem to work, but only in the short term. The reason for this is, the synthetic collagen that these injections insert into the skin is structurally different from the natural collagen present there. The two do not integrate properly; as a result of which the effects of the injection begin to wear out in a few weeks. Then you have to take it again and then again until you find a permanent solution.

Creams containing collagen as an ingredient are also popular among some people. Fact is - the molecules of collagen are too big in size to be absorbed by the skin. They are just left unused at the top layers of the skin and don't do anything for the wrinkles.

The best way to get rid of the wrinkles permanently is to use natural substances that can increase the collagen production in the skin. Substances like Active Manuka Honey.

This is a special variety of the manuka honey containing anti bacterial enzymes. Not only does this ingredient enhance collagen and elastin production in the body, it protects the skin from bacterial infections too.

Cynergy TK and Avocado Oil are other beneficial natural substances that enhance collagen content in the skin. They are also effective moisturizing agents and keep the skin soft and supple.

Now that you know what causes wrinkles, start including these natural ingredients in your skin care regimen. A firm, beautiful skin can be yours too.For more details email:freediabetictips@gmail.com

How to Make Lip Balm By Merilee Paige

Lip balm has been around for over a century. It is mainly used to help heal chapped lips, to moisturize them, and keep them more glowing and attractive. It is essential in locking in moisture. So you must take care of lips, since they do no have their own oil glands.

Most balm is made of petrolatum or petroleum jelly. Just like candle wax or paraffin, it is a partially hydrogenated oil. These act as band-aids, only giving temporary effects, so you need to reapply often.

Balms made from natural ingredients are best for your lips. So you can make your own discount lip balm from natural products as the following will show.

Homemade Lip Balm
Homemade balm is an ideal gift for special occasions such as Christmas. Below is a simple recipe that you can experiment with by adding different flavors. The main ingredient is beeswax, which is a natural wax produced by honeybees.

Before starting with the actual procedure, there are a few things that you need to gather. First, you need to purchase lip balm holders. You can find these in craft stores. Also you will need a saucepan, double boiler or a heat resistant bowl for melting the wax, and a glass measuring cup for pouring.

Beeswax Lip Balm Recipe

1-2 Tbsps (tablespoons) Beeswax
5-6 Tbsps of vegetable oil (you can use other oils such as sweet almond, olive oil or jojoba)
2 tsps (teaspoons) honey
2 drops of essential oils (you can use peppermint, lavender, chamomile, etc., or you can use half oil and half shea butter)
1 Vitamin E capsule

In a small saucepan or double broiler, melt together the beeswax in the oil. Once it is melted, remove from heat, add the honey, and continue mixing until the beeswax and the oil are well blended. Stir continuously and let the mixture cool down a little bit before adding the essential oils and the vitamin E.

You can also opt to melt them in a microwave. When using a microwave, make sure to watch it carefully, removing the beeswax and oil as soon as it melts.

Pour the contents into a glass measuring cup. Now pour them into the individual lip balm containers.

This step is optional. If you want to add different flavors into your lip balm mixture, separate them into the different glass containers and then add the flavors you want such as orange, lemon and peppermint. Don't worry if the mixture starts to harden, just place them back in the heat or a microwave to re-melt.

Make sure to let the mixture cool completely before covering the containers. Label your small containers for easy identification.

Isn't that easy? Now you can make your own lip balm and you can give them away as presents. Nothing beats a present handcrafted by you.For more details email :freediabetictips@gmail.com

Most Effective Exercise to Lose Weight and Burn Fat By Sally W.

We've been told, in one way or another that exercise can help loses weight and burn fat. However, which exercise is the most effective?

If you ask this question to a group of athletes from different sports, some will say jogging or running is the best exercise to lose weight and burn fat, and increase overall metabolism. While others will say weight training, walking, biking riding, aerobic, hiking, cross country skiing, etc. can do the same and increase metabolism more and sustain it for a longer period of time. The argument could go endless.

Whether you jog or walk, your body does not know what type of exercise derived. It really comes down to intensity and how much work you put in the workout. Is it true there are some exercises that burn more calories than others in the same amount of time but the outcome really depends on how hard you exert yourself and the amount of muscle mass in play. For example, suppose you like swimming and hate cross country skiing. With swimming, you would work at all your body muscles to swim as fast as you can. When you ski you might not work hard or push yourself as much as swimming. That would make swimming a much more effective way for you to exercise because you physically exert yourself with high intensity. When you work out with high intensity, you will lose weight and burn fat.

Hence, the best exercise to lose weight and burn fat is the exercise you enjoy doing most that gives you a really good workout.

The key to keep you motivated and dedicated cannot rely on one form of exercise. By doing so you might get bore and won't stick with it. Try to mix up a few exercises you like to do most and play it tough to get a good workout.

While exercise is important, a well balanced diet is crucial to maintain health and a sensible body weight. No single food group will provide all the nutrients for your body to be healthy. A diet that includes a variety of different food groups is most likely to provide all the essential nutrients you need.

Why Weights? 6 Great Reasons to Lift by Claudette Pelletier-Hannah

I knew when I gave up playing soccer almost a year ago that I would need to fill the void with other activity. I also knew I would eventually question my need and desire to run, which mostly existed to support the sport.

And then it happened. One winter day it occurred to me that I was filled with dread about going running. To psyche myself up to run in cold weather had become a real chore, stemming in part with the challenge of keeping my "stems" warm on the warmest of winter days, never mind the cold ones.

My fitness program no longer fit.

It was easy for me to be fit in the summer with a variety of physical pursuits I enjoy. But winter left me, well, . . . cold. I wasn't experiencing just the occasional off day. This feeling of dread was more the norm than the exception. I realized I wasn't walking my talk in terms of having a fitness program tailored to me. I was now in the market for a gym.

And perhaps the gym was long overdue, as my upper body has been somewhat neglected. My primary focus has been largely aerobic activity that favors my legs. My biggest upper body workout is washing and drying my hair. Hey, I have more hair than the average bear.

Now I am a proud gym member and am enjoying it tremendously. It's amazing to me the benefits I've realized in just one months time when I'm lifting weights barely bigger than a hairbrush. I feel stronger and am more aware of my posture. And I really enjoy using muscles I didn't know existed. It just feels good. What is the best part of all? No dread. I go happily and feel annoyed when I can't go.

Choosing a gym
If you're thinking about joining a gym or fitness centre, you need to clarify your priorities in a long list of potential features. Location, for one, is very important because you want to make this as easy as possible, setting yourself up for success.

Surprisingly, with a small gym three blocks from my home, location proved less important to me than the clientele. After test-driving a few options I learned I was clearly more comfortable in a women's only environment.

In addition to location and clientele, here are other features to consider:
• Hours of operation
• Qualified staff
• Gym size (in both area and membership)
• Equipment
• Cleanliness
• Cost
• Daycare
• Group Fitness Classes
• Locker room perks, i.e.: towel service and SHAMPOO
• Access to other sports, i.e.: swimming, racquet sports, running tracks

I encourage you to try a few different places at the time you would likely be using them before you make any commitments. Most offer a free session. Your priorities and what feels right just might become crystal clear. You can't ignore that.

Why Weights?
You know my reasons. Here are six more that might resonate for you.
1. You will reduce your risk of injuries, strains, aches and pains from sports as well as everyday functions like reaching, stretching and lifting.
2. You will reduce blood pressure and improve HDL cholesterol.
3. You will look better, as toned muscles do not sag. Say goodbye to underarm "wiggle wings."
4. You will have more energy.
5. You will feel better about yourself.
6. You will lose weight.

We naturally lose muscle mass as we age. We also tend to put on weight. Coincidence? As it turns out, the greater proportion of lean muscle mass we have, the better our bodies are at consuming calories. In other words, weight training is the best form of physical activity for increased metabolism and weight loss, if you enjoy it, that is. You've got to do something you enjoy. Remember the running story.

If you're new to weight training, make sure you get instruction on proper form and technique. Better yet, work with a fitness trainer for optimum results.

Of course you don't have to join a gym to increase your muscular strength and endurance. You can use your body as resistance with exercises like lunges, squats, push-ups and abdominal crunches. Or you can use free weights, resistance bands or even soup cans - slightly heavier than a hairbrush. However, most people are more disciplined when they have someplace to go, at a specific time, particularly if they have someone to go with. Know thyself.

The Easy Way to Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally by Reijo Metso

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a problem that affects a lot of people. Since hypertension seldom causes any symptoms in the beginning, many are unaware of that they even have a problem. But if nothing is done, the risk of serious health problems later in life increases dramatically.

A lot of people try to ignore their hypertension problem, after all it seldom causes any symptoms in the beginning. Unfortunately, that's generally the worst solution. Very often the blood pressure just keeps on increasing, slowly but steadily, until it can not be ignored any longer. Or worse, the prolonged hypertension causes serious heart problems or stroke.

Far too often the automatic solution for hypertension is prescribed drugs. Unfortunately, many of the drugs have negative side effects. Worse, if you only rely on the drug and do not change your life style, very often your blood pressure starts to increase again after a while. The doctors increase your medication but after some time your blood pressure starts to increase again and you just get more drugs. Also, the more medication you use, the greater the risk for negative side effects.

Trying to get down towards normal values without drugs has many advantages. It's cheap for starters and the side effects are generally positive, like less stressed and getting fitter. Natural remedies can not cure everyone but it is a good starting point for most people.

The bad news is that it takes time to get results, you can't get cured overnight. But given the benefits of a normal blood pressure and a healthier life style it is well worth trying. The earlier you start the less drastic actions are needed to cure your hypertension. Note that people with severe hypertension should always consult their doctor before beginning any exercise program.

The easiest ways to naturally lower your blood pressure are by relaxing and breathing, two simple skills everyone can master. Simple exercises done every day can help most people to lower their blood pressure. But the exercises have to be done every day to get results, not just once or twice a week. Just by doing slow breathing exercises, some people have managed to get very good results. Combine it with more physical activity and healthier food habits and you could be on your way to a healthier and longer life.You can email me :freediabetictips@gmail.com

Women and Drinking by Phyllis Klien

How could this be me? This is the question most women find themselves asking as they realize they have a drinking or drug problem. Usually this question arises after many difficult experiences including: drinking and driving, getting a DUI, physical injuries/accidents, blackouts, sexual encounters that would not have happened sober, poor work performance, hangovers, a run-down immune system, shame, self-loathing, etc. Unfortunately, alcohol and drug problems do not announce themselves directly, and one of the primary features of these problems is the ability to deny and rationalize them away, even after repeated negative consequences that are clearly related to drinking or using.

Did you know that women are the fastest growing segment of substance abusers in the US? That substance disorders in women are under-recognized and under-treated? That virtually all drugs including alcohol are far more damaging to women's bodies than men's? That women experience more social disapproval for their alcohol use? That alcoholic women are more stigmatized than men? That women with substance use problems are more likely than men to have experienced trauma and to have higher rates of concurrent psychiatric problems? If you have this problem, then you may know that these statements are true.

More questions arise. How do I know if I have a problem? What do I do to get help? How can I battle the demon of denial-(it's not that bad, I can just have a few, I'll deal with this tomorrow.)? How can I battle the demons of shame and self-loathing-(I'm a miserable idiot, why can't I just stop/drink normally like everyone else, what could I have said or done during my black-out.)?

Most people have heard about Alcoholic's Anonymous, and many of you reading this may have already tried it. AA used to be more of a men's club, but that has certainly changed as more women admit to themselves that they have a problem and begin the journey of recovery. In my career as a therapist (over 30 years!) I have seen many women get help and recover through AA. It doesn't always "stick" on the first try, and most people have had slips and relapses to prove this. Sometimes the structure of a treatment program is needed to bring in safety and stability. Sometimes it's the old adage "ninety meetings in ninety days". And if you want a support group only for women, check into Women for Sobriety.

If you are a woman who has experienced abuse as a child or are/have been in an abusive relationship, then psychotherapy in addition to AA or other support groups can be very helpful. This is because trauma is often the culprit behind the drinking and using. Trauma or abuse can cause you to feel angry with yourself, feel helpless, feel empty and alone. This is especially true if no one was/is there to protect you from the abuse, or if it was known about but ignored or shoved under the rug. Drinking and using can be a way of self-soothing and self-medicating, except that it will ultimately boomerang and become another source of problems for you.

As women, we need to understand how to stop abuse from happening to the next generations. We need to say "no" more and learn how to face our pain with compassion and support. If you are asking yourself the question at the top of this post, (how could this be me?) then take a deep breath, and reach out for some assistance.You can email :freediabetictips@gmail.com for more information.

Quit Smoking Marijuana - What Are Your Options For Recovery? by Peter Hill

Smoking marijuana is a growing problem across the world. As the cost continues to come down, more and more people in all walks of life are turning to the "evil weed". If you are fed up of being addicted to "pot", there are many options out there that will help you to try and quit smoking marijuana.

Whilst marijuana is addictive, it is the lesser of the evils when compared to other drugs such as heroine. However, as it is most often mixed with tobacco and smoked, it can be extremely habit forming.

The effects of marijuana vary significantly from person to person. For the lucky few, they actively do not like the drug. For many, it relaxes them and lightens the mood, often resulting in a fit of the "giggles". For some, it transports them to a relaxed place where the responsibilities of life simply ebb away.

What causes people to form a habit can also vary. Whether it is due to peer pressure, boredom, or simply to try something new. For those who form a daily habit, the effects can be disastrous; resulting in apathy, lack of ambition and an eventual lack of respect for the user.

If you are not happy with facing your problems in public, there are many online sources or books available. These are the least effective ways to quit smoking marijuana. Whilst will power and a self determination are required, having a support network is vital.

There are many trained counselors that can help. Available through your doctor, you are able to have one to one or group sessions. Many also incorporate meditation sessions, to help focus the mind on more positive thoughts.

More physical techniques are also very effective. Amongst these is yoga. Working much the same way as meditation, but also helping with breathing, this is a method that enjoys much respect across the world.email me to :freediabetictips@gmail.com

Understanding Integrity Can Free You From Emotions of Unworthiness by Leon Cautillo

For the most part your integrity is 'out' whenever you are giving your attention to something you believe doesn't work according to what you believe does. For example if you believe eating meat on Friday is a sin and you do, you'll feel some degree of emotional guilt. If no one ever suggested to you that it was a mortal sin you will not feel guilty for there is no conflicting emotion. Now that is a fairly simple example but I'm sure it conveys the message.

There is a significantly more primary understanding that must be considered here. How does the context that would allow the idea that eating meat on Friday get considered? How does a human being believe something is 'bad' or 'sinful'? They feel it. If I told you that wearing blue shirts before noon was a mortal sin and you came in wearing a long sleeve bright blue André Benjamin, I don't believe you'd feel bad. Why? Now why is that? You might feel silly but you surely would not have any negative emotion.

If you were told early on as a child that if you were to disobey the Commandments and Jesus died for you, that would be enough to make you feel guilt and shame and you would be unworthy, undeserving. If you were a rational 25 year old adult you could not feel these kinds of emotions as the brain by now has built a rational defense. Well there is no context for it, no good and bad emotions.

How you know you are out of alignment (that your integrity is out) is by your ability to interpret your emotions rightfully. You have the emotion you desire to feel and the emotion you are feeling that you ate that meat. If the feelings are conflicting there will be the experience of two conflicting emotions that will cause a vibrate 'negatively'.

The scale of emotions could range from possible 'happy, joy, bliss' to the other side 'hopelessness, despair, powerlessness'. These will surely inhibit a positive self esteem.

There are a few notions to dispel in order to understand the road to joy. First, integrity has nothing to do with right or wrong, good or bad and second, or that a human being could be unworthy. These are things a human being can think but nothing a person could ever be.

The context for life is the phenomenon that the word 'works' points to.
The actions of the particles in the cells are moving in a direction that works or does not work to produce life. To what end? To live, to exist, to self actualize.

The question to ask is does it work? Not is it right or wrong good or bad. Is it moral or immoral? The notion that something could be immoral is a man made invention to manage societies. Particles attract like particles not because they are good particles, they do so because it works to produce life.

Your strongest wish is to exist and continue to exist. But before that which is most desired is turned into words, such as I want to exist, I want to live there is the desire to feel more joy as I continue to reach for more of life. The intention to live is primary, to feeling better. The reach towards more joy and happiness is always a reach for live, for freedom. Though there is much more to be said on this subject, these are the fundamental notions. The release of negative emotions allows for greater and greater experiences of happiness to fill ones life.

Eyelash Pulling - What You Can Do About It by Henry Woods

Those who have heard of trichotillomania may have also heard of eyelash pulling. Or maybe pulling eyelashes is something you actually do often while having no idea what "trichotillomania" is. But whatever the contingency is for you: although pulling eyelashes is not as common as normal trichotillomania, people still do it often - be it absent-mindedly or deliberately. It is listed as a medical condition / sign of stress - and it is not as if articles on the subject are limited to those found within health institutions, or those distributed by those working in the health / care / medicine industry.

Many would agree that it would be in their best interests to stop their eyelash pulling - after all, eyelashes protect the eyes as well as having something of a beauty factor. And after all, environmental pollution is by no means limited to outside environments; the number of possible sources of dust in an inside environment is just too numerous to be worth estimating. Pulling eyelashes is not always a matter to be instantly dispelled. But do not worry; if you are pulling eyelashes often enough for it to genuinely concern you, getting advice on curbing it is but a click away these days.

Indeed, eyelash pulling may not seem innocuous, but do not be misled. Normal trichotillomania is not that uncommon - it is a situation that affects more than 2% of the population. And while professionals - such as Dr. Trisha Macnair - say that it usually commences in the puberty-early adulthood period of one's life, it has been linked to children as young as 8. People have called it a real worry to see their young ones pulling eyelashes, and who can blame them?

There are simple techniques you can apply to reduce your eyelash pulling. "Simple", because there are easy to follow - even if you will not necessarily master them straight away.

It starts with becoming aware of when you feel the urge to pull your eyelashes. Then, you develop a habit of not pulling them, if that makes any sense - change your reaction.

Go and buy some Vaseline, to rub on your eyelashes to make them more slippery.

Think of what else you can do with your hands when the urge arises, and get into doing that alternative.

The psychological implications of breaking the habit of eyelash pulling are great. You may want to do it when you are bored. Learn to relax by doing something like yoga, or even experiment with hypnosis. And if you can, try to identify what "triggers" you to making you want to pull out an eyelash. Keeping active and occupied should help too.For more info email: freediabetictips@gmail.com

Acne Scars - What They Are, Why They Happen, and How to Get Rid of Them Fast! by Avril Harper

Every person has millions of oil glands lying beneath the skin in hair follicles which keep the skin lubricated by producing oil, correctly called 'sebum'. While those glands and follicles function properly, and new skin cells quickly and efficiently replaces dead ones, the skin should be fresh and moist, not oily, and relatively blemish free. 'Sloughing' is the process by which dead cells are shed and for most people those cells will drop away from the body, leaving way for new cells.

Sometimes, however, dead cells remain longer on the skin where they can become embedded in the pores and follicles where they mix with oil and bacteria and eventually get trapped beneath the skin. Below the blockage the skin will continue producing sebum which expands and develops lumps and bumps on the skin. The end result can range from minor spots and blemishes to serious outbreaks of acne which, if left untreated or if blemishes are picked or squeezed can lead to lifelong scarring.

Acne scars vary in size and shape and have developed specific descriptive names including (Source: wikipedia.org):

* Ice pick scars - Deep pits, that are the most common and a classic sign of acne scarring.

* Box car scars - Angular scars that usually occur on the temple and cheeks, and can be either superficial or deep, these are similar to chickenpox scars.

* Rolling scars - Scars that give the skin a wave-like appearance.

* Hypertrophic scars - Thickened, or keloid scars.'

* Also sometimes, wrongly, described as scars are red marks that sometimes linger after actual spots have cleared. Scars are commonly caused by scratching or squeezing spots and they usually fade or disappear within two or three months.

Regardless of terms they are known by, acne scars can prove more embarrassing and disfiguring than acne itself, and thankfully there are ways to remove scars in all but the most extreme cases.

One big tip: DO NOT EVER try to remove scars yourself, by exfoliating, for example, or using lotions or substances of any kind. You must always leave acne scar removal to expert doctors and dermatologists or you risk worsening the condition and potentially making removal impossible.

Professional methods for acne scar removal include surgery, laser therapy, also injections, as said, under strict guidance from qualified medical and skin care professionals.For more info email:freediabetictips@gmail.com

Five Muscle Building Tips to Grow Big Fast by Dennis Francis

For most of my life, I've been active in running, cycling, body building or martial arts. As a guy who has always had trouble with his weight, I found that working out has been a way to keep my body fit and the fat from creeping in.

Strength training and bodybuilding will keep you fit and healthy if you follow the lifestyle. Part of getting fit and staying fit requires you to prioritize. That is why adopting a fitness lifestyle is crucial to staying in shape.

My wife pondered the question of priorities a few days ago in regard to body bodybuilding and strength training. Our young kids inherited her aversion to exercise. They love to ride bikes and play in the park but their priority is definitely pointing to the video game console. This is why it's important to avoid looking at strength training as a "workout". Your health depends on staying fit. Building muscle revs up your metabolism and burns fat. It should be your lifestyle.

Here are five tips for gaining more muscle and staying fit:

1. If you do nothing else for your body this week, get a set of calipers for body fat testing or a scale with a body fat monitor. You can use the scale to monitor your progress. Don't take the readout as gospel; just use it to monitor your activity level. If you are losing fat and gaining muscles, it shows up on your scale in the fat percentage reading.

2. Here's a quick way to calculate your calorie requirements. If you want to lose fat and you are working out five times a week, you can use this formula for a quick result. This method doesn't take into consideration what your body composition is like. Use it as a guide and adjust it when necessary.

Take your lean body weight and multiply it by 12. If you are a 220 pound man with an active lifestyle, you can safely take in 2,640 calories a day. You will be able to lose fat instead of muscle if you perform compound exercises three days a week.

To gain weight, multiply your lean body weight by 19 to get your calorie requirement. You can pack on the pounds in muscle instead of fat by performing compound exercises using barbells, dumbbells or machines.

3. To get six pack abs, you need to watch what you eat more than you might think. There are people who are naturally low in fat and with an active lifestyle will show their abs with no extra effort. Others like me can't even think of a doughnut without gaining a pound.

Generally, bringing your body fat down to 10 percent or below will make your rectus abdominis muscles pop. You can generally melt away your body fat if you use compound exercises three days a week and consume less than your calculated lean body weight calorie requirement. If you measure your body fat regularly, you will be able to keep your six pack abs under control.

4. A more accurate way to determine your protein needs is to find out what your lean body weight is and multiply it by 1.14. The reason why you want to use your lean body weight is because that is what you want to feed.

If you weigh 220 pounds and your body fat was 15%, you can subtract 33 (220 x0.15) to arrive at the lean body weight - 187.

Multiply your lean body weight 187 x 1.14 to get a result of 213.18g a day. Take your total and multiply by 6 to get the number of protein grams you need per meal. You ideally should be taking in six meals a day. That would allow your body to keep feeding your cells continually during your day.

The U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for protein is 0.8g. If you're a strength trainer and or body builder, that's not enough to power your workout and build your muscle cells.

5. The best all around workout for building strength and muscle mass is compound exercises. Squats pull ups, dead lifts, lunges, bench press dips are all compound exercises that will stimulate your testosterone levels and build mass in record time.

Smooth, Sexy Lips - Keeping Your Lips Moist and Supple! by Wesley Timothy Greg

There have never been more lip care options than there are right now. The cosmetics industry is ever changing and nothing reflects that more than the sheer amount of different lip products that are available. It seems that every day "they" come up with something new to try.

Choosing the right lip product is really a matter of what your personal preference is. Each type of product has its own feel, staying power, texture, and benefits. What you choose will depend on your own needs and desired look.

Lip Balm
Perhaps the most basic product on this list is lip balm. It usually has no color, but contains moisturizing and soothing agents for dry or chapped lips. Some lip balms even contain sunscreen or pain relievers. They generally have a smooth, soft texture. Some have a hint of color.

Lip Gloss
Lip glosses come in all forms of color coverage, from very sheer to full-on color. Lip glosses are generally liquid, with an obvious glossy finish and very short wearing time. Lip glosses can come in metallic or frosty finishes, and many even have glitter in them. They can be worn alone or over another form of lip color, as in liner or lipstick.

Lip Liners
Lip liners come in the form of pencils and can either be thin or chunky. Some twist up, but most have to be sharpened. They all are intended to outline the lip with color. A lot of people outline first and then color in their entire lip with their liner. This provides a long lasting base for additional color, such as gloss or lipstick.

Lip Primer
Lip primer is like a base coat for your lips. It is designed to keep your lip color from bleeding outside your lip line. Colors range from clear to foundation-like tones. Primer may feel waxy.

Lipstick
Lipsticks are obviously usually packaged in stick form, but sometimes come in a small pot. They come in many different finishes, from matte to glossy, from glittery to creamy. They generally feel smooth and kind of waxy on your lips.

Lip Plumpers
Plumpers can be clear or colored, but all of them work by stimulating blood flow to the lips. This makes your lips appear more full and pouty. Lip plumpers generally feel like glosses and may make your lips tingly or sting a little.

Lip Stains
Lip stains are either contained in lipsticks or applied on their own. They provide far longer staying power than glosses or lipsticks. As the name implies, they actually stain the lips, rather than just staying on the surface of them. The color is generally liquid and painted on with a brush. Lip stains are usually very intense or bold colors, and are harder to find than most other lip products.

Lip Paints
Lip paints are even harder to find than lip stains. The texture is somewhere between liquid and lipstick. Lip paints have more color variety than lip stains. They last longer than lipstick, but are shorter lasting than stains.

Permanent Lipstick
Permanent lipstick is when people actually have color tattooed onto their lips. This is clearly a very serious step that requires some thought.

With a basic idea of the look, texture, and functionality that you are looking for in a lip product, your choice will be much easier. A large amount of choices make it is easier than ever to find exactly what you are looking for. The process is made even easier by the fact that there are so many places to get information on lip products online. With a few simple clicks of your mouse, you can compare brands and prices, select your favorite lip product, and purchase it, all from the comfort of your own home.For more info email:freediabetictips@gmail.com

Losing Weight Through Dancing by Rico Kidd

Exercise can be a tedious task for many as people just do not have time or are too lazy after a long work day to go to the gym. However, choosing an activity that is fun will help you burn calories, increase your heart rate and will make you lose weight.

Dancing is a great way to lose weight while having fun. You say you can't dance? Who cares! Dance in the comforts of your own home where no one can see you. Turn on your favorite tunes, do some light stretching and start moving to the music. Before you know it, you will start working up a sweat while dancing. Dancing is a fun way to burn calories because your mind thinks that you are not exercising. Physically, you are burning calories, but mentally, you are just thinking to yourself, "I'm having a great time!"

For the more adventurous, going out to a dance club is another option to get some exercise and sweat out the stress. Going to a club can be a cheap way to entertain yourself while burning fat. Remember, if you want to club, limit the amount of alcoholic beverages you drink as alcoholic beverages have empty calories. Drinking too much will negate all the dancing that you're doing.
