Share Healthy Lifestyle - I see a lot of disseases instead of good health around me, I see people who do not know anything about healthy lifestyle and its importance for our life, I see a lot of ignorance and very little knowledge. That is why I have started to write this blog.

Most of people are not able to imagine the importance of good health. If you do not have it, your life is very restricted, e.g. you cannot do your favourite sport, you cannot enjoy the nightlife, you cannot have a nice sex with your loving partner, you cannot eat and drink what you want to and you cannot do many other things.

I know that most of you do not want to spend much time with some kind of exercises and diets, because you want to enjoy your life. In fact you do not have to. There are a lot of small improvements of your everyday life you can do in very little time. And that is the main objective of this blog - investing a little time and force to have a life more healthy, comfortable and active to the end of your days.

Enjoy it a new wa to healthy living!

Share : Bad Habits - For Drugs

In this post we will try to improve our health with canceling the first and the worst habit for our lifestyle - the drugs. Let us see why are the drugs so important for us and what can we do with it.

History:

Drugs has been connected with people for very long time. There were generaly two purposes for making and taking drugs. The first was medicine (pharmaceutical companies are doing the same thing today) and the second was religion. Especially shamans used the drugs to improve their abilities, such as communication with astral word, healing or predicting the future. These shamans were (and still are) very special people. If somebody wanted to be a shaman, he had to do some very dangerous exams as proof himself to be immune to poisons. Of course many candidates died before they started to be shamans. Only people with exceptional health and genetically perfect adaption abilities could survive these exams. Remember - they did it for their people, not for themselves!

Today:

Today we have very selfish reasons to use drugs - mainly to escape from reality and problems or just for not to be bored. This is very bad, because the drugs cannot give us this goal. Problems stay the same, reality too and sooner or later we have to come back to face them. Also the most of people do not have exceptional health and abilities as shamans did, so their life time shortens significantly.

The next problem comparing to using drugs by shamans is the fact, that drugs are very big business. And if you have very good business, you want to have better one and do everything to earn more and more money. So today the drugs are much more dangerous than in history, because of a lot of chemicals processing to improve efficiency and getting 'loyal customers' dependent upon the products.

Finally we can say, that taking drugs is nonsense, that cannot give us anything, except destroying our body and making our life more difficult. You will be the servant of drugs and you will do only what 'they' want.

How to stop - Phase 1 - Experimenting

If you are just experimenting or thinking about to start using some drugs, it is not late. The first thing you have to do is to think about the reason of your behaviour. Are you tired, bored, ill, do you have too many problems, did somebody die?

Try to increase the amount of endorphins in your blood (these things makes you happy) - do aerobic sports, eat chocolate, bananas, have a good sex or take some L-Tryptophan. Or just focus on some activity - sport, job, your relationship and you become happier. It takes some time, but you will make it.

How to stop - Phase 2 - Light dependance

You tried it and it was good, you are taking some drugs time to time, almost with friends, but you do not need it.
Maybe you are lucky and your dependance is not physical yet.

Try to do everyting from Phase 1
and do not take any potion. If you make it, good for you. If you must take it, you are unfortunatelly in Phase 3.

How to stop - Phase 3 - Medium and Heavy dependance

You need it, you tried to stop, but you were not successful.
You cannot stop alone, you are behind the border! You need specialist to help you.

Share : Bad Habits - For Smoking

Share For Healthy - Smoking is probably the most common bad habit for your healthy lifestyle. 5 milion deaths is cause by smoking every year. (source WHO) So why do people smoke and how is possible to stop smoking?

History:
As drugs tobacco is closely connected with the human history. The first tobacco users were people from ancient civilizations all arround the world about 5 000 B.C. (source Wikipedia). Of course as drugs, tobacco were used because of religional purposes (yes, our well-known shamans).

The most famous fact from history is probably using tobacco by Native Americans from the time of Wild-West (you know it from westerns). These people used calumet - ceremonial smoking pipe. Remember the word "ceremonial", which does not mean, they used it for the style or escaping from reality.

In Europe there were some waves of smoking as a cultural phenomena. Finaly in last 50 years the main product for smoking is the cigarette.

Generally you can divide smokers to these groups:

Cigarette
The worst you can smoke. Today's cigarettes are not from pure tobacco, but full of artificial chemicals to enhance the taste, smoke, smell and nicotine absorption. Some sources say, there are more than 4 000 substances in cigarettes, most of them not really good for us.

Because cigarettes are inhaled, your lungs will be full of tar (permanent status, you cannot remove it), you have great risc of many cancer types.

Kretek
Tobacco combined with clove was made at the beging of 20th century for curing lung's allergies. Less dangerous than cigarette, but still not healthy as predicted.

Pipe
Pipe smokers has mostly more quality tobacco, they do not inhale smoke to lungs and they are less physicaly dependent due to less smoking in general. So in this case less dangerous than previous types, but still risc of tongue cancer.

Cigar
If you are the right cigar smoker, you will have it in your mouth aproximately once a minute. Most of the time the cigar is resting in the ashtray. The most quality tobacco used, usually without added chemicals. If these rules are applied, there is less health danger comparing to previous types.

Avoid Morning Sickness of Pregnancy

According to US and UK data from public health authorities, morning sicknessaffects over half of all pregnant mothers. It is generally related to an increase in estrogen levels, low blood sugar counts, and a greater susceptibility to some smells. More often, morning sickness will be present in the early hours of the morning and will ease up somewhat as the day goes on.

Morning sickness is also known as nausea gravidarum, nausea, vomiting of pregnancy (emesis gravidarum), or pregnancy sickness.

At times, morning sickness can be mild. However, the pregnant mother may at other times feel so nauseous that she will vomit.

Even though morning sickness can be extremely unpleasant, it is hardly ever severe enough to cause metabolic derangement. In most cases, morning sickness settles down by the end of the first trimester.

Morning sickness is more likely to occur during the first three months of a pregnancy.

Here are a few tips you can put in to practice to minimize unpleasant morning sickness symptoms:
Get plenty of rest.

You must ensure you get a good night´s sleep - wear a sleep mask, or even dark glasses, to block out as much light as possible. You might also consider a maternity body pillow that will properly help you support your back and stomach.

Sometimes taking naps during the day may help.

Avoid moving around straight after eating.


Get up slowly

Don't be in a hurry to get out of bed when you wake up. Take your time.

Avoid some types of foods

Avoid fatty and/or spicy foods. Avoid caffeine as well.

Food portion sizes - have small ones.

It is important to always have some kind of food in your stomach, as this will lower your chances of experiencing nausea - and if you do, most likely symptoms will be milder. If the stomach is empty, the acids have nothing to workon, except for the stomach lining, resulting in worsening nausea.

Have some salty crackers, peanut butter snacks, or some other protein snack before you get out of bed in the morning.

At breakfast, cold apple sauce, pears, bananas or any citrus fruit will help you feel satisfied early. Baked potatoes, although, less tasty for many, are highly nutritious. The fruit's potassium may help prevent morning sickness. At night, try eating something high in protein snack/meal before going to bed, as this will help regulate your blood-glucose levels.



Computer monitor flicker.

The rapid, almost unnoticeable flickering of the computer monitor could cause morning sickness. If you are susceptible to morning sickness due to monitor flicker, try to avoid using a computer completely. If you must, you should adjust the screen by making thefonts bold and larger and changing the background to a soft tan or pink color - this will help reduce eye strain.

Physical activity.

Some mothers may find it hard to move around if they feel lousy. However, being physically active has been found to improve symptoms in many people.

Fluid intake.

Being hydrated is crucial for good health, and very important during pregnancy. Some mothers with morning sickness may not feel like consuming their recommended eight glasses of water per day, especially if their stomachs seem not to let them. However, the more dehydrated you are, the more nauseated you will become.

If drinking water is hard, try adding apple cider vinegar and honey. Some mothers say flat Sprite helps, or decaffeinated cola. Sucking ice cubes made from water or fruit juice is also an effective method. The colder the drink, the easier it is to consume.

Ginger.

For many years, ginger has long been publicized as a stomach soother, and studies have shown that it may help relieve nausea symptoms. Sipping cold ginger ale, or adding a slice of raw ginger to water or tea may help sooth your stomach.

Snacks such as gingerbread, or ginger cookies will all effectively help prevent nausea.





Keep your mind occupied.

It is important to try to take your mind off the nauseous feelings. Finding things to do might not be easy. Reading a book, doing puzzles, watching television, playing cards, or going for short walks around the block will clear your mind and relax you. However, you must also listen to your body, and stop whenever necessary.

Wear loose and comfortable clothing.

Restrictive or tight clothing may exacerbate the symptoms of morning sickness. Studies have found that pregnant mothers with nausea who switched from tight to loose-fitting clothing reported either reduced symptoms or non at all.

Consider using children's vitamins instead of regular pre-natal vitamins.

Children's vitamins are usually easier to digest.

Sniff fresh scents.

Morning sickness is very much smell-associated - the pregnant mother becomes more sensitive to odors. Certain ugly smells, smells you cannot get away from, and potent smells such as perfumes can trigger an episode of unpleasant nausea. The most effective scents, according to self-reports, are lemon extract and/or rosemary.



Fresh rosemary is a very effective scent for morning sickness

Triggers

There are several triggers that can bring on an episode of nausea and a general feeling of being unwell due to morning sickness. Most people will soon identify what they are. Avoid them as much as you can, and your frequency of nausea and/or vomiting will reduce, as will severity of symptoms.

Acid reflux

Sometimes, the náusea and vomiting may be due to acid reflux. Taking antacid medication before going to bed may help reduce stomach acid levels, and the subsequent morning vomiting. Check with your doctor before buying any medication during pregnancy.

Iron pills or iron-containing multivitamins

Some pregnant women may become nauseous because of the iron supplements they have been told to take. Talk to your doctor and ask him/her to recommend a slower-release form, or even possible a lower dosage.

Acupressure

Applying pressure on specific points on the body to control symptoms has been shown to help some women with morning sickness. In this case, it involves wearing a special band on your forearm.Hyperemesis gravidarum - excessive vomiting during pregnancy. This may lead todehydration and malnutrition. A woman with hyperemesis gravidarum may weigh over 5% less than she did before she was pregnant.

About 1 in every 300 pregnant women develop hyperemesis gravidarum. The condition does not usually persist beyond the 20th week of pregnancy. The doctor may recommend dietary changes, plenty of rest and the use of antacids. In severe cases the patient may need to receive fluids and nutrition intravenously.

Nails released from woman body

Hospital medical officer Nur Hidayah Bantul, Yogyakarta, on Thursday had issued dozens of nails and needles in the feet Supiyati, patients who suffer from a strange disease.

"A total of 12 nails and needles out while patients in the ward. Then of operating results on Wednesday (26/9) night were 70 nails and needles, so that the total spikes and needles are removed from the patient's body as much as 82 pieces," said the director of the hospital Nur Hidayah, dr Arrus Ferry in Bantul Thursday.

Supiyati a strange disease Harjomulyo origin, tribe Madang, East Oku, South Sumatra, and in the period of about 1.5 years, more than 2,000 out of the nails and needles all over his hands and feet.

After undergoing surgery at 21.00 pm until 23.00 pm on Wednesday (26/9), hospital medical teams Nur Hidayah successfully raised 70 spikes and 12 needles are embedded in both legs Supiyati, and most of the metal is rusted.

According to doctors, the first day of treatment in the hospital Nur Hidayah, Tuesday (25/9) afternoon, a total of 12 nails and needles out of the second leg Supiyati naturally, and five nails out when Supiyati in the Emergency room (ER).


Arrus said of the X-rays thoroughly after undergoing surgery, it sure no foreign objects such as metal still embedded in the body Supiyati, however, for non-metallic foreign body, the hospital does not guarantee 100 percent.

"Because, in the operation, the team also raised a long curler coagulating and glass flakes detected X-rays, if just a hair, so it may not be apparent when X-rayed," he said.

Still, he said, in an unspecified time, Supiyati still have to undergo intensive treatment in hospital Nur Hidayah for physical recovery is still weak.

He said to prevent harmful foreign objects both metal and non-metal back into the body Supiyati, since yesterday the team Husnul Khitmah Care (Hu Care) RS Nur Hidayah has provided spiritual guidance.

According Arrus, causing the entry of foreign objects into the body Supiyati still a question in western medical science, and to try to heal Supiyati to completion, Nur Hidayah RS method combines eastern medicine (rukyah).

"Alleged temporary entry of foreign objects into the body of the patient was due to the role of the spirit or jinn. In Islam, we believe in the existence of the jinn," he said.

How to respond the Cancer detection

After the initial shock, the next reaction is to seek information. Many will talk to their family doctor, friends and family, and seek information on the internet or in book stores in order to learn as much as possible about the type of cancer they have and the best medical specialists to seek out. This is a very daunting task as few individuals are knowledgeable about cancer and its terminology or about what constitutes excellent cancer care. Needless to say, the stress of the diagnosis makes it doubly hard to process information and make the best choices.

In order to give you some grounding during this initial phase of coping with cancer, I have prepared the following list of essential things that anyone newly diagnosed with cancer should know.

1. Understand the diagnosis. There are many different types of cancer, even within the same broad category. For example, in non-small cell lung cancer, the most common types are adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma and they are treated differently. Breast cancer has three general categories: hormone receptor positive (for the estrogen and/or progesterone receptors), Her2 positive, and triple negative (hormone receptors and Her2 are negative or not present); the three types are often treated very differently. Nearly every type of cancer has different sub-types and it is important to know which one you have.

2. Do not jump the gun and think the worst. Not all cancers of the same type act the same. Some “bad” cancers may be curable. Get all the facts straight and get them only from the experts who treat the disease, not from physicians who are not cancer experts and not from well-meaning friends and family who “know someone with…”

3. Meet first with local specialists. What other tests are needed to fully determine the stage or extent of the cancer in the body? Do you need surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation? Have these questions answered first in your community, near where you live or work. Physicians that specialize in treating cancer have been highly trained whether they practice in a community setting or at a large medical center. Since cancer treatment may not be a one shot deal but can involve six months or more of therapy, it is important to make these treatments as convenient and safe as possible. Having a good cancer center close to home can make a world of difference.

4. Consider a second opinion. The need for a second opinion depends on the quality of the first opinions you receive and on your preferences as a patient. Do not think that the grass is greener elsewhere and that an incurable cancer is curable at a more heavily advertised center. If the cancer specialists in your area have an excellent reputation and you like their approach to you and your cancer, then you may not feel that another opinion is necessary. On the other hand, if you feel that surgery is better performed at a high volume center, for example, or you just want the peace of mind that comes with confirmation of treatment recommendations, then a second opinion is right for you. The best doctors do not dissuade patients from seeking other opinions nor from receiving cancer care close to home when that is more convenient.

How to Reduce Menstruation Cramps

1. Stick to a healthy diet. This includes plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as plenty of water. Attempt to keep track of how particular foods affect your period. Plenty of fiber is particularly useful in cleansing the body of excess estrogen (which can lead to heavier and more painful periods and cramps).



2. Take dietary supplements. Some studies indicate that Vitamin E, thiamine and Omega-3 supplements may reduce menstrual cramps. [1] Zinc and calcium have been found to reduce cramps, bloating and related PMS symptoms. [2] Calcium and magnesium reduce muscle soreness, but must be taken for 2-3 months every day before producing a noticeable effect.






3. Make sure to have regular health check-ups to ensure health. Mention to doctors any menstrual problems you feel you might be having, and take into consideration how conditions such as IBS or anemia may make you feel during menstruation. In addition, menstrual cramps can be caused by an underlying disorder such as endometriosis or fibroids, in which case the surgical removal of tissue may be required to help alleviate your symptoms.

4. Avoid Xenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens. Some new scientific evidence points to xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens actually causing menstrual cramps. Xenoestrogens are simply "foreign" estrogens that are not really estrogen but mimic estrogen. Xenoestrogens can be chemicals present in items used in every day life such as lotions, shampoos, and laundry detergent. Phytoestrogens are plant estrogen's that can be found in some herbs.Xenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens can cause Magnesium and Vitamin B deficiencies. A Magnesium deficiency can cause muscles to cramp. A Vitamin B deficiency can cause Neuropathy. Think Restless Leg Syndrome.



Topical Natural Progesterone can also counteract xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens, if the body load of xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens is not too high. If the body load of xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens is too high, then topical Natural Progesterone may actually temporarily increase menstrual camps.


5. Use painkillers around the clock as soon as you notice your period. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs), medicines such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin etc.) or naproxen (Aleve) actually reduce menstrual blood flow not just the pain associated with menses. Acetaminophen, while helpful for the pain, is not nearly as effective as the NSAIDs. Many women find that painkillers can decrease menstrual pain. If you can't tolerate ibuprofen or naproxen sodium, simple aspirin or acetaminophen can help a lot. The effectiveness of NSAIDs builds up over time, so if your cramps are so severe that the painkillers don't do much, start taking ibuprofen every six hours up to a couple of days before you expect to get your period and continue until your cramps abate. If over-the-counter NSAIDs do not help, your doctor may prescribe a prescription NSAID such as mefenamic acid (Ponstel).




6. Take hormonal birth control. Birth control pills contain hormones which prevent ovulation and reduce the severity of menstrual cramps.  This is why your doctor may recommend birth control pills for menstrual cramps. The same hormones can also be delivered through injection, a patch you wear on your skin or in a flexible ring you insert into your vagina.




7. Lie in different positions. Laying on your side with your knees tucked into your chest can temporarily reduce the pain. Some people say to lay face down on the bed, with your face in a pillow. Stick your butt up in the air. This will relieve gas and help you feel better. Also try lying on your back, keeping your feet elevated by pillows.




8. Try placing a hot water bottle or heating pad on your abdomen. This helps ease your muscles. A hot wash cloth or even just a warm blanket can also help. According to the Mayo Clinic, this appears to be just as effective as over-the-counter pain killers. Also try taking a hot bath of shower . If you don't have a heating pad, you can make one.




9. Do some mild exercise. Walk around the neighborhood, run on the treadmill, go ride your bike, or any other exercises you enjoy. This will increase blood flow which will help the cramps go away.





10.Use the body's own pain-killers. If you're worried about over-use of traditional pain-killers, or they are not available, you may also wish to make use of the body's own pain-management mechanisms.




Distract yourself from the pain. Distraction is one of the most powerful and readily available painkillers. So if you have intense cramps, do something that normally totally absorbs you, such as socializing with good friends, reading a book, playing a computer game, or spending time on facebook.

Get regular exercise. Exercise increases your overall serotonin levels. Serotonin is the body's own painkiller, and also makes us feel happier.

Sexual activities do help anything with the menstrual cycle. Try to get as much as possible. Orgasm releases oxytocin, which causes uterine contractions, which eases pain.


11. Try acupuncture, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, may help to relieve pain associated with menstrual cramps. Acupuncture has been used as a pain relief method for over 2,000 years. Hair-thin needles are placed into the skin on specific locations on your body. The needles do not cause pain for most people.






12. Engage in stress reduction activities such as yoga, massage and meditation as they may ease the pain of menstrual cramps.



13. Have a glass or 2 of wine; alcohol thins blood.



14. Try to wear clothing that doesn't pressure your abdomen, such as all-in-ones. They are comfortable, warm and help reduce period cramps caused by tight clothing. Dance Direct sell some good-quality ones.

The Effect of Smoking to your Body

Smoking is one of the human habit not only in western but all over the world. The warning of smoking always announce everywhere, but all smoker ignore them. So, this is just to remind and emphasize that the effect of smoking and especially the things contains it.

• Toxic ingredients in cigarette smoke travel throughout the body, causing damage in several different ways.
• Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is inhaled. It has been found in every part of the body and in breast milk.
• Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, preventing affected cells from carrying a full load of oxygen.
• Cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) in tobacco smoke damage important genes that control the growth of cells, causing them to grow abnormally or to reproduce too rapidly.
• The carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene binds to cells in the airways and major organs of smokers.
• Smoking affects the function of the immune system and may increase the risk for respiratory and other infections.
• There are several likely ways that cigarette smoke does its damage. One is oxidative stress that mutates DNA, promotes atherosclerosis, and leads to chronic lung injury. Oxidative stress is thought to be the general mechanism behind the aging process, contributing to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and COPD.
• The body produces antioxidants to help repair damaged cells. Smokers have lower levels of antioxidants in their blood than do nonsmokers.
• Smoking is associated with higher levels of chronic inflammation, another damaging process that may result in oxidative stress.

The Benefit of ZAM-ZAM Based on The Research

The results of the water samples tested by the European laboratories.

CALCUIM & MAGNESUIM IN ZAM ZAM WATER:
The difference between Zamzam water and other water (city water) was in the quantity of calcium and magnesium salts. The content of these was slightly higher in Zamzam water. This may be why this water refreshes tired hajis.

FLOURIDE IN ZAMZAM WATER:
But more significantly, the water contains fluorides that have an effective germicidal action.

Moreover, the remarks of the European laboratories showed that the water was fit for drinking.
Hence the statement made by the Egyptian doctor was proved false. When this was reported to King Faisal he was extremely pleased and ordered the contradiction of the report in the European Press. In a way, it was a blessing that this study was undertaken to show the chemical composition of the water.

In fact, the more you explore, the more wonders surface and you find yourself believing implicitly in the miracles of this water that Allah Ta'ala bestowed as a gift on the faithful coming from far and wide to the desert land for pilgrimage.

Let me sum up some of the features of Zamzam water:
Never Dried Up:This well has never dried up. On the contrary it has always fulfilled the demand for water.
Same Salt composition:It has always maintained the same salt composition and taste ever since it came into existence.
Portability:Its portability has always been universally recognised as pilgrims from all over the world visit Ka'aba every year for Hajj and umrah, but have never omplained about it. Instead, they have always enjoyed the water that refreshes them.
Universal taste:Water tastes different at different places. Zamzam water's appeal has always been universal.
No Biological Growth:This water has never been chemically treated or chlorinated as is the case with water pumped into the cities.Biological growth and vegetation usually takes place in most wells. This makes the water unpalatable owing to the growth of algae causing taste and odour problems. But in the case of the Zamzam water well, there wasn't any sign of biological growth.

Drinking Water Best Theraphy

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value.. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: 

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute 

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal. 

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day. 

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:

1.High Blood Pressure (30 days)2.Gastric (10 days)

3.Diabetes (30 days)

4.Constipation (10 days)

5.Cancer (180 days)

6.TB (90 days)

7.Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion...

Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.. It will line the intestine. 

Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks:·Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,

·Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

·You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

·Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

·60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. 

·Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive....

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

Yoga and it's Benefit For you

Here are the 5 benefits of yoga I found most surprising:

1. Compassion. Who would have thought that a physical practice could help me feel compassion and understanding for myself and those around me? Yoga philosophy tells us that we’re all one, but it’s the experience of many bodies moving and breathing simultaneously that I think really created that understanding for me. I realized that we’re all just doing the best we can in life. There’s something very liberating about that mind-set that can melt away ill-will, competition, and petty disagreements like nothing else.

2. Mindful eating. I am not a health-food yogi. In fact, at one point in my life, my daily diet consisted of little more than chicken fingers, French fries, and soda. But after a just a few months of yoga, I found myself craving leafy greens. Yoga changed the way I ate because I started to pay more attention to how the food I took into my body affected me. I still eat my share of junk food (I do love a good cupcake!), but thanks to my yoga practice, it’s an occasional treat instead of a daily habit.

3. Strength! I was shocked when I realized how much strength it took to get through a yoga class. I was even more surprised by how quickly how strength-building poses that were once incredibly difficult for me got a little easier. I wasn’t just getting more flexible–I was becoming stronger, too!

4. Confidence. It’s one thing for someone to tell you that you can do anything you set your mind to. It’s another thing to actually experience it for yourself. It takes a lot of time and determination to stand on your head, hold the weight of your body on your hands, or even just to consistently unroll your mat to practice. But once you’ve experienced it, you really start to believe you can do anything! You also start to see a beauty in yourself that you never knew was there. For me, this translated into a boost of confidence that I really needed.

5. Better relationships. What do you get when you mix a little heightened awareness, a dash of compassion, a pinch of self-confidence, and a smidge of positivity? The ability to relate to people in a more meaningful way. And that means you get a stronger network of friends, confidants, and supporters. Of all the benefits I’ve reaped from my yoga practice, perhaps this is the most valuable of all.

The Benefit of Salmon

Salmon become most expensive fish in the world. Not only because of it's taste, but also the benefit    that is deserved by it.

Inflammation
Research on fish intake and joint protection has shown that the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon can be converted by the body into three types of compounds that prevent chronic inflammation. What's especially interesting is that it combines these anti-inflammatory benefits with anti-inflammatory relief related not to fat but to protein.

Recent studies show the presence of bioactive peptides in salmon may support healthy joint cartilage and other types of tissue. One bioactive peptide named calcitonin has been of special interest because it is also made in the human body by the thyroid gland, and we know that it helps regulate and stabilize the balance of collagen and minerals in bone and surrounding tissue. Such peptides may combine with salmon's omega-3 molecules to provide powerful anti-inflammatory benefits for joints. The incredibly high content of vitamin D and selenium found in salmon have also been shown to be key agents in preventing unwanted inflammation.

Cognitive Function
Much research has proven docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to be the most important fat found in the brain, and the substantial content of this omega-3 fatty acid in salmon explains the benefits of salmon intake for thinking and the decreased risk of certain brain-related problems. Salmon intake is associated with decreased chances of depression, hostility in some studies of teenagers, and decreased cognitive decline in older people. Some studies have also demonstrated an association between IQ and a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Of particular interest is the recent discovery of what are called protectins. These are special compounds made from DHA which studies have shown play an important role as anti-inflammatory molecules, particularly when produced by nerve tissue. There has been speculation that some of the brain-related value of omega-3 fish intake may be due to conversion of the DHA in these fish to protectins that can aid in preventing excessive inflammation. Vitamin D has also been shown to be a major factor in supporting cognitive function, and salmon abounds in this nutrient.

Cancer Prevention
Vitamin D has been shown to play a crucial role in lowering the risk of several types of cancer, including breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer. Salmon contains particularly high levels of vitamin D and selenium, which is also associated with prevention of certain types of cancer, including colorectal cancer.

Omega-3 fat is also connected to decreased risk for several types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. Regular omega-3 intake has been proven particularly effective against the blood cell or lymph cell-related cancers such as leukemia, multiple myeloma, and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

Eye Health
It is well known that fish oil is good for improving vision. It also helps in avoiding age related macular degeneration. The omega-3 fats found in salmon have been demonstrated to be effective in combating both macular degeneration and chronic dry eye. In the case of macular degeneration, two servings of salmon per week is enough to significantly decrease risk.

Studies on dry eye have begun to focus specifically on the neuroprotectins made from DHA in salmon and other omega-3 fish. These omega-3 derived molecules might aid in preventing chronic dry eye by alleviating inflammation.

Cardiovascular Health
Intake of salmon has been connected to a decreased risk of numerous cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack, stroke, heart arrhythmia and high blood pressure. Consumption of omega-3-containing salmon is also linked with improved metabolic markers for cardiovascular disease.
The high levels of the antioxidant selenium in salmon have also been shown to be especially important in cardiovascular protection.

Skin and Hair Health
The omega-3s found in salmon lock moisture into skin cells, encouraging the production of strong collagen and elastin fibers, which contribute to more youthful looking skin. Omega-3s have also been known to alleviate skin blemishes and maintain a good luster of the hair. Omega-3s provide nourishment to hair follicles, helping hair grow healthy and preventing hair loss. A rich supply of proteins is also important for hair growth. The high protein content of salmon helps maintain strong, healthy hair.

Benefits of Black Pepper

 The many benefits of black pepper

Black pepper has more healthy properties than most people know about.  Black pepper isn't like salt that can make food less healthy if too much is added. Black pepper is a spice that has the potential to make food more beneficial when used in various recipes and as a table spice.

The History of Black Pepper

As far back as the ancient eras, the spice we know as black pepper actually had monetary value.  It was used in the market place and in other places in place of money.  It was used to appease ancient gods in the temples.  Even now, black pepper is a commonly used spice.  Fortunately for us, it is always in great supply and it costs very little.

We get our black pepper from the pepper vine that can grow at least thirty feet tall in the stifling climates of the tropical parts of the world.  The pepper vines actually bear fruit—small white flowers that turn into berries called peppercorns.  Manufacturers take the peppercorns and collect them as whole berries or as ground black pepper.

The medicinal benefits of black pepper reach beyond its taste and flavoring of your foods.  Research studies have shown that black pepper actually has healthful properties.  Of all of the benefits of this spice, it is its ability to enhance the function of the digestive tract that makes it a good reason to put it in the dishes you cook.

Another benefit of black pepper is its ability to diminish the amount of gas in the intestinal tract.  This leads to less flatulence and bloating and is believed to be another benefit of increasing hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

For those who understand the benefits of antioxidants, you'll be glad to learn that black pepper is known to have a great amount of antioxidant properties.  It also has benefits against bacterial growth, particularly in the intestinal tract.  The good news is that all you need to do is put a little bit in your food every day.

Black Pepper in Cooking

How do you like your pepper? If you're a professional cook or just someone who likes the best in cuisine, you probably grind your peppercorns in a peppercorn mill.  You can get fresh peppercorns at the grocery store, on the internet and at organic food stores.  When you grind your own pepper, you enhance the freshness of the pepper and probably get a better health benefit from it.  In addition, the outer skin of the peppercorn most likely enhances metabolism, leading to a higher probability of weight loss.

If you're the type of person who just wants to shake their pepper on, do yourself a favor and purchase the best brand of pepper you can buy.  The supermarket shelves are full of ground pepper and going with the cheapest brand probably won't give you a quality product.  You don't need to buy gourmet pepper but buying a brand name will go a long way toward giving you a quality product.

Becarefull : Determine Wheter You Are Anemia Or Low Blood

Most people usually think of anemia and low blood pressure (hypotension) is the same condition. Despite similar symptoms, but two conditions are actually different.
One of the misconceptions that people believed was someone who had hypotension must have thought he was anemic, too. In fact these two conditions are not always interrelated.
Anemia and hypotension have different definitions, making it the second disease is not diagnosed in one. This difference in anemia and hypotension.
Anemia
Anemia is a condition where a person does not have a healthy red blood cells to carry enough oxygen demand in each tissue and organs, this condition usually starts with a sense of fatigue. Due to the volume of blood is less able to cause health problems due to red blood cells contain hemoglobin which carries oxygen to body tissues.
If these conditions are not handled properly, it can cause complication including fatigue and stress on body organs are not getting oxygen and nutrients.
The symptoms usually varies, usually include fatigue, pale, rapid heartbeat and irregular, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, cognitive disturbances, cold hands and feet and headaches. Originally anemia is so mild and go unnoticed, but over time the symptoms will increase and exacerbate the condition.
Hypotension (low blood pressure)
Normal blood pressure is if you have a systolic (the upper limit when the heart is working) 120 mmHg and diastolic (the lower limit when the heart breaks) 80 mmHg or often referred to 120/80 mmHg.
Well people said to suffer from low blood pressure if systolic pressure (top number in blood pressure readings) is less than 90 mm Hg or the diastolic pressure (bottom number in blood pressure readings) is less than 60 mmHg.
Causes of low blood pressure can be due to dehydration to disturbances in the brain signals that regulate the blood pumping. Low blood pressure can cause symptoms of dizziness to fainting that trigger heart damage, endocrine or neurological disorders.
The symptoms of hypotension is the body to feel dizzy even to feel like fainting, lack of concentration, blurred vision, nausea, body feels cold, pale skin, shortness of breath and fast, fatigue, depression and the emergence of thirst.
Still can sometimes hypotension associated with anemia, such as a person who suffered malnutrition such as vitamin B12 and folic acid can trigger anemia. If there is anemia, the body can not produce enough red blood cells that cause blood pressure to be low or declining.
So it can not be distinguished. Anemia associated with the amount or volume of blood in the body is lacking. While low blood pressure is the force in suppressing blood vessel wall.

Do you always worry of loosing your girlfriend you loved? Don’t let it happen to you. You have to looking for what your girl need and dislike to keep her side on you. Girl is mysterious, that what the lover expert said. But if you do the things she likes you will have her forever.

1. Avoid becoming obsessed. No one likes a stalker. This does not mean not to hang around with her or go places with her a lot. It just means that if it's quite obvious she doesn't want to hang around you, or if she is doing something private (such as a get-together with close friends), then give her some space.

2. Do not hit on people continuously, especially not in front of your girl. She could get the feeling that you don't like her. If you hit on her, make sure you don't do it all the time.

3. Make sure you smell good -- hygiene is important. No one is going to want to hang around with someone who smells bad.

4. Look good. She won't like it if you wear the same thing all the time. Just try to switch it up. You don't constantly have to change outfits. You might even want to joke about how to always wear the same clothes.

5. Be nice to her friends. Don't give the impression you are interested in them beyond friendship. This is a big one. If you become friends with her friends, she will love you for it.

6. Don't try and force anything on her. If you come out straight away and tell her you are interested in her in "that" way, she may become uncomfortable around you. Keep in mind, some people would prefer you to tell them straight up.

7. Don't come on too strong at first. Be casual and cool. You'll know if she wants you to come on stronger. If she is coming on stronger than you are, that generally means you can step it up.

8. Do not say that you are going to kill yourself if she gets mad at you, that may make her think that you are slightly obsessive, and have nothing better to live for than her.

9. Don't try to rush her into anything, you'll only push her away.

10. Don't talk to your friends about other girls. They might tell your girlfriend and she will want to ignore you.
