Good Sleep for Good Health
Copyright (c) 2009 Kevin Kielty

http://www.ncinsuranceplan.com



Most of us have busy, hectic lives. There is always a new task to
be added to the schedule until eventually something has to give
and for many of us that something is our sleep. We look at sleep
time as cutting into our productivity and think "it's more
important to get this done than it is to sleep". But that
attitude will ultimately catch up to us. Good sleep is necessary
for good mental and physical health and if we neglect it, we will
pay the price.

The Stages Of Sleep

There are 5 different stages of sleep and we need to move through
all of them each night if we want to feel our best. We start our
sleep in stage 1 and progress to stage 5 and then go back and
forth between 2 and 5 repeatedly during the night. Stages 4 and 5
are the deepest levels of sleep called REM or Rapid Eye Movement
sleep. It is during this stage that we dream the most and
important processes in the body take place.

Chronic lack of sleep can have adverse effects on our mental and
physical health in several ways. It can cause us to gain weight,
make us prone to insulin resistance and it can speed up the aging
process.

Weight Gain

Important activities take place in the body during sleep which
contribute to health and healing. During REM sleep injured
tissues are repaired by the production of growth hormones. These
hormones stimulate the production of protein in the muscle as
well as the breakdown of fat. This helps to control the
allocation of fat to muscle in the body. Constantly missing out
on the deepest levels of sleep can lower the amount of growth
hormones thereby causing the accumulation of more fat. Lack of
sleep can also lead to a lower level of leptin which is a blood
protein that helps to regulate appetite.

Insulin Resistance

Chronic lack of sleep can also affect how the body uses
carbohydrates and glucose. In individuals who are chronically low
on sleep, blood sugar levels rise to a higher level and return to
the normal state more slowly. Their bodies also secrete a smaller
amount of insulin. Studies have shown that individuals who
experience a chronic sleep deficit will usually develop insulin
resistance.

Sleep And Aging

Not getting enough sleep can also contribute to premature aging.
Lack of sleep causes the brain to produce less than the normal
amount of hormones, which is a condition found the in the
elderly. Getting enough sleep can help to turn back the clock.

Quantity Vs. Quality

When it comes to sleep quality is as important as quantity. You
need to have sufficient time in each of the stages of sleep, to
feel your best the next day. Not getting enough sleep can lead to
irritability, lack of clear thinking and lethargy the next day.
It can also lead to a weakening of the immune system and make you
more susceptible to sickness.

Different people require different amounts of sleep. Usually
adults need around eight hours per night while children require
approximately 10 hours and infants around 16 hours per night.

If you skimp on sleep you seriously risk both your physical and
mental health. If something must be cut back in your schedule,
make sure it's not sleep. You will look and feel better for it!

A Winning Diet As the Best Body Detox Tip for a Healthier You
Copyright (c) 2009 John Khu
Body Detox Tips
http://www.bodydetoxtips.com/



Natural body detox removes toxic products from the different
parts of the body. You might want to consider doing it,
especially if you are feeling a lot of symptoms associated with
declining health. In any way, if you want to cleanse your body
from all the toxins that might be stored inside you, then you are
better off by following some tips that are truly helpful in
achieving a successful body detox.

For starters, the best body detox tip is to change your diet.
Shifting from a diet filled with all those toxic materials to a
healthy one is a proven detoxifying procedure. There are many
healthy diets out there, which are not necessarily weight loss
diets. As a matter of fact, what you should be doing is follow a
diet that is well-balanced. That way, you could get the most
vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients needed by the body in
order to function at its best for good health.

A body detox plan is not something that you do upon a whim. You
do not just do it at intervals, such as once a week, because you
have to maintain it for a while. In case you are shooting for a
change in your diet, you have to keep good nutrition all the
time. This means getting all your vitamin needs from good food
and from supplements if necessary and understanding the rudiments
of a good diet, such as leading a healthy lifestyle and
practicing moderation. Stopping once in a while will not be good,
because it is like going back to zero all over again.

When selecting your food, whole foods are better choices rather
than preserved or refined. This holds true for all food groups,
such as dairy products, grains, fruits, vegetables, fish, meat,
poultry, and others. Pick up fresh and natural foods, preferably
low fat, fiber enriched, or those that have lean proteins, and
that have less salt, starch, and sugar.

When eating these foods as a part of your body detox program,
smaller and more frequent meals are preferred rather than eating
big in one seating. This is because such a manner of eating helps
stabilize blood sugar and in making your metabolism work
normally. Remember to avoid frying your food, so may have to bid
goodbye to those fatty fried dishes. You might also want to keep
a watch of your weight by knowing what the ideal and healthy
weight is for you and achieving this at the same time.

In addition to keeping up with smaller and frequent meals, do not
let yourself get hungry or skip a meal simply because you don't
want to eat or you are curbing your appetite. With regard to
getting hungry, getting thirsty is also a no-no. Drink around
eight glasses of water everyday to fully hydrate your body. It is
also recommended to drink your low fat milk everyday, preferably
a minimum of two glasses.

You now have a good diet, but don't forget to move around.
Exercise and involve yourself in worthwhile activities. Not only
does this keep your body better fit, but it also promotes
wellbeing.

Bone and Joint Health: The Key to Senior Independence
Copyright (c) 2009 Kevin Kielty

http://www.ncinsuranceplan.com



We all hope to have health and independence as we age. One of the
most important things we can do to make that happen is to take
care of our joints and bones. Two of the most common diseases
that affect seniors are osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. By
taking steps to maintain bone and joint health early, we can
avoid these diseases later in life.

What Is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bone has deteriorated,
causing them to become fragile and break easily. It is most
common among women but can affect men as well. It is usually seen
in people over age 50 and accounts for over 1.5 million fractures
per year.

The body is constantly removing old bone and replacing it with
new bone. After age 30, we loose bone more quickly than it is
replaced and as we age, this process speeds up. There are no
symptoms of osteoporosis and a person may not even realize that
they have it until they suffer a break.

Risk Factors For Osteoporosis

People who are at a higher risk for getting osteoporosis include
those who have not consumed a great deal of foods containing
calcium during their life, those who have small bones or have a
family history of the disease or smoke or drink heavily.

How To Prevent The Disease

It is important to take action during your younger years to
prevent the development of osteoporosis as you age. One of the
most important things you can do is make sure that you get enough
calcium. The body needs calcium the most during childhood when
bones are rapidly growing. Women need more calcium during
pregnancy and when breast-feeding and also after menopause.

Be sure to eat dairy products, dark green vegetables, canned
salmon with bones, and foods with added calcium to ensure that
you're getting an adequate amount of calcium in your diet. You
also need a sufficient amount of vitamin D to help your body
absorb the calcium. Vitamin D comes from sunlight. If you live in
an area where are you do not get much sunlight, you may need to
take a vitamin D supplement. Exercise is also important.
Weight-bearing exercise is the best because it helps to
strengthen the bones.

What Is Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the result of many years of wear on joints. The
cartilage that is between the joint begins to break down. It
usually affects the spine, knees or hips. It can affect people of
all ages but usually shows up in those over age 45 and in
individuals who are overweight or perform a lot of activities
that put a great deal of strain on the joints.

Risk Factors For Osteoarthritis

One major risk factor in developing osteoarthritis is being
overweight. The additional weight puts more stress on the joints.
For every 2 pounds overweight you are, your risk of developing
osteoarthritis increases by 9%. Studies have shown that there is
also a strong genetic component to the disease. If you have a
family history of osteoarthritis, your joints will be able to
withstand less stress than if you had no family history.

How To Prevent The Disease

Staying at a healthy weight is one way you can prevent
osteoarthritis. Keep your muscles strong, especially your leg
muscles. If you keep your leg muscles strong you can
significantly reduce your chances of getting osteoarthritis in
your knees. Be careful about putting too much strain on your
joints from repetitive activities such as lifting or kneeling.

By taking action when we are younger, we can head off the effects
of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Then we will be able to look
forward to a healthy and independent old age.

5W’s and 1H of Natural Body Detox

Body Detox Tips

What Is Natural Body Detox?

This is a natural way of removing toxins in the body that it has
become dependent on and cleansing it thoroughly from these. A
health measure that aims to clean out the garbage from the
organs, such as the colons, kidneys, liver, lungs, and skin, this
process protects us from the pollution that are present in our
daily life and the toxic materials that we consume.

Why Is Total Body Detox Important?

It is true that the body does its best to flush out toxins found
in the body. It does this extra hard, but sometimes, the job gets
too hard, especially if the toxins found are metallic in nature,
such as cadmium, lead, and mercury. In these cases, the body
works double time, using up more energy than necessary, thus
giving allergies, bad breath, bloating, colds, constipation, dull
skin, excessive weight, fatigue, headaches, hemorrhoids,
indigestion, insomnia, mood swings, intestinal parasites, stomach
pain, and a weakened immune system. When this happens, the body
is giving signs that it needs assistance in cleansing the whole
body.

Who Needs Whole Body Detox?

Everyone needs body detox. No one is too young or too old for
this. In fact, no one can be too healthy to the point that he
gets no toxins inside his body. The world is full of it, and
wherever you may go, harmful chemicals may creep inside the body
without knowing it. If you are feeling sick, then you should go
for it. Otherwise, you still need it to keep your body further
healthy.

When Should One Start Practicing A Body Detox System?

If you feel that you have been sickly lately, or if you fell that
you are always burned out, that it is the best time to start now.
If not, but if you feel like doing it, it might not be a good
idea since overdoing it can also cause body damage. If you are
feeling symptoms that could be signs of bad health, then start
right away.

Where Should You Do A Full Body Detox?

You do not have to go anywhere to cleanse your body, such as got
to the clinic, hospital, or any other place where good health is
a priority. You can do it right at your home since detoxifying
agents can be prepared there, which can be considered not only as
a healthy hobby but as a fun hobby as well.

How Do You Detox Your Own Body?

This may sound simple, but the way to detox your body is to watch
the food that you are eating. Make sure that what you are eating
are healthy foods filled with the right vitamins, minerals, and
other nutrients. It seems like you will be watching your health
through body detox, and in many ways, it really is. Know what’s
good for your body and you are on the way to cleaning it inside
out. You might also want to consider taking supplements are
purchasing a body detox kit filled with information on how to
further help your body ward off all those toxins.

Eat What You Like and Stay Slim? - My Journey - Part 5
Copyright (c) 2009 Karen Fullick
Free The Slim You
http://www.freetheslimyou.com/



Ever wondered why some people seem to eat what they like and stay
SLIM!

Why Some People Can Eat Whatever They Like And Stay Slim And
Others Can't

Have you ever asked yourself why slim people seem to be able to
eat whatever they like and never gain weight. Well we all know at
least one of these people, may be a friend, colleague or relative
but whenever you are with them they seem to eat well and have
treats but always remain slim and healthy.

We tell ourselves that it is so unfair, why doesn't my
metabolism work that fast so that I can eat and drink everything
I like and stay slim. The answer is simple - they control their
feelings towards food and that leads to controlling the amount
they eat, so when you see them snacking on crisps, chocolate etc
they only have small amounts or one bag of crisps or one
chocolate bar.

When I eat a large lunch and then go home and eat a large evening
meal, they will go home and eat a small plate of food to
compensate for the large lunch.

In summary, they have a good attitude to food, and this quite
simply is the way their mind is programmed.

Caroline And The Part She Played In Me Finding The Answer

I have a very good friend Caroline, we worked at the same company
for 5 years and we continued the friendship after we both left.
Now Caroline is about a size 8 and looks great. She always
prepared her own lunch and brought it to work and it was always
well balanced. But Caroline also ate treats like chocolate and
crisps, a few sweets here and there. If it was someone's
birthday she would have a piece of cake and being a large company
there was normally at least one birthday a week. She would talk
about going out for meals with friends and her partner.

So why was she so slim and healthy looking.

Now, I always eat breakfast and at the time of working with her I
was yo-yo dieting and had not embarked on my 49 pound / 22 kilo
weight loss journey. My breakfast was a bowl of muesli with
semi-skimmed milk so fairly healthy.

However, lunch was always on the hoof and at various times of the
day. At the time I believed it was reasonably healthy and of the
right quantity - however, now I know much better.

My evening meal would always be large - and why shouldn't it be.
I had worked hard all day and deserved it. The chunk of cheese I
ate straight from the fridge as soon as I got home was fine as it
wasn't part of my evening meal so therefore didn't count and
the very large glass of wine was essential to calming me down -
it had been a very stressful day!!

Getting the picture - my mind was controlling my eating habits -
I had a bad attitude towards food.

So how can you change the way you think about food so that you
consciously control the type and amount of food you eat to
maintain a healthy balanced diet and feel satisfied.

It is a fact that our subconscious mind is programmed throughout
our lives through information we hear and then store. We then use
this information in our decision making process. It is most
likely that the relationship we have with food dates back as far
as our childhood. Food is often a tool used for comfort and/or
emotion, something we are given by others or give to ourselves to
provide us with the feel good factor. Our mind will have stored
this and each time we need comfort our subconscious mind tells us
we can find it in food.

There are many techniques that you can implement to remove
cravings and/or desire for things you do not really want - these
techniques extend to impulses other than food. They include
Hypnosis, Tapping, breaking associations (thought - want -
craving) known as anchoring.

Tip of the day Exercise for 30 minutes each day - this does not
have to be at a gym - it can be any type of exercise you like, at
any time of the day you can fit it in. You will get a feel good
factor from it and also burn calories!

The Greatest Threat to Our Children's Health: Diabetes?!
Copyright (c) 2009 Kevin Kielty
North Carolina Insurance
http://www.ncinsuranceplan.com



Type 2 diabetes is a growing concern in the United States as more
cases of the disease are being seen in children. Usually type 2
diabetes affects people who are obese and over age 40. Over the
past 20 years however, doctors have seen an increase in type 2
diabetes among children.

If untreated, type 2 diabetes can lead to high blood pressure,
hardening of the arteries, heart attack and stroke. It can also
lead to kidney failure and eventual blindness. The effects of
this disease can be so devastating, it is important to know your
risks and take action right away to reduce your chances of
developing type 2 diabetes.

What Is Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes, also known as insulin resistant diabetes, is the
most common form of the disease. It accounts for 90% of all
diabetes cases diagnosed each year. With type 1 diabetes the body
does not produce insulin. With type 2 it does produce insulin but
either it does not produce enough or the cells in the muscle are
less sensitive to its effects.

When you eat something, the body breaks the food down into a
simple sugar called glucose. Glucose then moves through the
bloodstream and then into the muscle and fat cells. Insulin sends
a signal to the cells which tell them to open up and accept the
glucose. Glucose is either used right away or stored as fat. In
individuals who have type 2 diabetes, the cells do not correctly
receive the signal to allow the glucose in. This causes glucose
to build up in the bloodstream and keeps the cells from
functioning properly. Eventually the elevated glucose levels in
the system can cause damage to heart eyes and kidneys.

Risk Factors

Your risk for type 2 diabetes can be inherited. If you have a
parent or sibling who has the disease you have a great chance for
developing it yourself. Individuals of Hispanic,
African-American, or Native American ancestry are also at greater
risk as well as those over age 45. Other risk factors include
having a sedentary lifestyle, excessive stress, smoking and
obesity.

One of the most important things we can do to cut our chances of
developing type 2 diabetes is to get more active and lose weight.
Fat stored around the abdominal area make it especially hard for
cells to respond to insulin. Other risk factors include a Body
Mass Index of 25 or more or a waist size that is greater than 35
inches for a woman or 40 inches or more for man.

Take Action

Knowing what the risk factors are for developing type 2 diabetes
is an important step to avoiding the disease. If you have a close
family member who has developed type 2 diabetes, discuss it with
your doctor. Find out what your BMI is and to measure your waist.
If you have any other risk factors, take action today to eat
better, exercise and lose weight. By taking action today you can
avoid the damaging health effects of type 2 diabetes tomorrow.

Best Body Detox Partners

Body Detox Tips
http://www.bodydetoxtips.com/



Letting go can be a tedious and painful process. Much like when
you start to let go of the toxins in your body. It is inevitable
to experience headaches or nausea as the body detox program is on
its way to work its wonders. But as they say - no pain, no gain.
In order to give the yourself the best body detox ever, you have
to bear with some inconveniences.

Meanwhile, you don't have to take it sitting down. There are
nutritional supplements that you can count on to ease some of the
aches associated with detoxification. In the end, the process
will get hastened and the body will be rid of harmful substances
while you get the best body detox you deserve.

Vitamin Supplements

One important body detox tip to remember is that vitamin
supplements do good to the body at all times. There are
oil-soluble vitamins as well as water-soluble vitamins. Vitamins
A, D, E, and K are the oil-soluble vitamins. What is common about
these types of vitamins is that they are all important in cancer
prevention. These vitamins also work as a team and give the
immune system its much-needed support.

In particular, Vitamin E guards the storage of Vitamin A in the
body. Meanwhile, Vitamin D and Vitamin A promote bone health. It
is recommended that the intake of Vitamin K be taken more
regularly as it is not stored in the body but is found to be
important in blood clotting.

On the other hand, the water-soluble vitamins are Vitamin C and
the B-Complex Vitamins. The B-Complex is composed of thiamin,
riboflavin, niacin and niainamide, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine,
cyanocobalamin, folic acid and biotin. They are responsible for
the functionality of the nervous and systems in the body. They
also give the energy necessary for the metabolic processes to
take its course.

Mineral Supplements

The supplement approach should be consistent with the natural
body detox regime. As such, taking minerals that are found in the
soil make the body detox program truly authentic. Mineral
supplements are in the form of phosphorus, iron, calcium, zinc,
iodine, sulfur, and magnesium among others. Calcium, magnesium,
phosphorus, and manganese are all essential in bone development
and maintenance.

Best Body Detox Supplements

There are supplements that are specific to the function of body
detoxification. Milk thistle, or more popularly known as
Silymarin, strengthens liver functions and helps it to purify the
blood of toxic materials. This herbal substance also prevents
diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver.

Meanwhile, a supplement of some vegetable superfoods is very
effective. Spirulina and Chlorella superfoods come in tablet
form, are cheap, and are readily available in health food stores.
These two superfoods are actually micro algae that are rich in
protein and anti-oxidizing attributes. They support the body
detox system and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

An important warning though, all these nutritional supplements
should not be taken when one is on a juice fast. Since they are
meant to be just supplements, they have to be taken with foods
that are nutritious by themselves.

Working Safely With Solvents
Copyright (c) 2009 Rathi Niyogi
CriticalTool, Inc.
http://www.criticaltool.com/



Solvents are commonly found in many workplaces. They are used so
often that workers forget that they can be very dangerous when
not handled appropriate.

Loosely defined, a solvent is a substance, usually a liquid, that
is used to dissolve another substance. Solvents can pose a number
of health risks as a result of skin contact with the solvents or
from inhalation of vapors from the solvent. Also, improperly
handled or stored solvents can present risks of fire and
explosion.

Health Effects

One of the most common health hazards associated with exposure to
solvents is dermatitis. Contact dermatitis can develop from a
single exposure or from multiple exposures. It can leave the skin
susceptible to a short-term infection or to a chronic condition.
Exposure can also result in sensitization to the solvent, which
is a delayed allergic reaction that often becomes more severe
with subsequent exposures (for this reason, it is important that
workers wear the appropriate protective equipment, such as
chemical protective gloves, each and every time they handle
solvents). In order to prevent dermatitis, workers handling
solvents need to wear chemical protective gloves such as neoprene
gloves or nitrile gloves (remember to always check glove
manufacturer information to verify chemical compatibility for
chemical protective gloves). Also, if there is a risk of splash,
coveralls or an apron and eye protection, such as goggles or
safety glasses with face shields, should be used.

Solvents can also present respiratory hazards as the result of
the inhalation of vapors. Depending on the type and concentration
of the solvent, exposure effects can range from mild respiratory
irritation to severe damage to body organs and systems. In
extreme cases, overexposure to solvent vapors can cause
respiratory failure and death. In order to prevent injury
resulting from solvents, respiratory protection should be worn.
To determine the correct respiratory protection (generally,
air-purifying respirators with the appropriate cartridges will be
required), check the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the
solvent. As with dermatitis, because of the possibility of
sensitization with some solvents, appropriate respiratory
protection should be worn each and every time a worker is exposed
to actionable respiratory levels of solvents. (Note: Prior to
requiring respiratory protection when using solvents, make sure
that you have instituted an appropriate respiratory protection
program, including fit testing, medical evaluation, and training
in the use of the types of respirator that will be used by the
worker.)

Handling And Storage

Because solvents are often petroleum- or alcohol-based, they can
pose a risk of fire and explosion. For this reason, it is
important to ensure that solvents are stored and handled
properly, including:

  * Read the labels and the material safety data sheets of the
solvents. They list the hazards, health effects, and safe
handling procedures as well as information on the flashpoint and
boiling point of the solvent (which help to determine the risks
for fire and explosion).

  * Take care when pouring solvents from one container to another
since fire or explosions can occur from static electricity
buildup. Utilize safety cans that incorporate grounding and spill
prevention features to help reduce the potential for accidents.

  * Clean up solvent spills promptly and thoroughly.

  * Prohibit welding, cutting, soldering, and other sources of
ignition in areas where solvents are used.

  * Store flammable solvents in well-ventilated areas constructed
of fire-resistant materials. For smaller quantities of solvents,
flammables cabinets are a good storage options (and in many
instances are required by local or state building codes).
Properly constructed flammable storage cabinets help to prevent
solvent spills and, when properly vented, build up of dangerous
vapors.

  * Ground and bond all tanks and equipment used for solvent
storage.

  * Install fire extinguishers in both work and storage areas. For
most solvents, ABC fire extinguishers or B fire extinguishers
should be available. Water-only fire extinguishers are not
appropriate for use on solvent-related fires as they may spread
the fire. (And remember that all workers who are expected to
utilize a fire extinguisher in the event of a fire must receive
appropriate instruction in the use of fire extinguisher!)

Stop the Anxiety! A Quick Guide for Overcoming Panic Attacks
Copyright (c) 2009 Rochelle Melander
Right Now! Coach
http://www.rightnowcoach.com



I had my first panic attack while giving a speech. One minute I
was telling a joke and appreciating the reaction of the crowd. In
the next moment, I felt like I was watching myself from a
distance. My heart raced, my body shook, and I could not catch my
breath. I wondered how I'd be able to finish my talk without
anyone noticing. Somehow, I did finish the speech. But the panic
was not finished with me.

Over the next two years, I experienced more panic attacks.
Determined to not shrink my life, I sought help. I visited my
doctor, began therapy, and read every book available on
overcoming panic. Over time, I put together a grab bag of
resources to survive the panic attacks. They worked. More than
ten years after that first panic attack, I am nearly panic free.
When the panic starts, I know what to do to stop it. Do you? Here
are my tips to support you in overcoming panic.

First Things First

No matter how great you are at coping with panic and stress, no
matter how helpful my list of strategies might be to you, the
first steps you need to take toward healing are setting up
appointments with both a physician and a therapist.

Panic attacks can be caused by health problems and by medication
as well as by emotional stress. Your doctor can help you to
discern this and guide you toward taking the appropriate actions.

If your panic stems from past emotional wounds, a therapist can
work with you to heal these. In addition, a therapist can provide
you with coping skills that are appropriate to your specific
situation and personality.

Coping Strategies

The following strategies have helped me cope with stress and
alleviate panic attacks. I hope that they will be helpful to you
in your own journey of healing.

1. Eat Regularly

The Panic Attack Recovery Book by Shirley Swede and Seymour
Sheppard Jaffe, M.D. provides helpful dietary guidelines for
preventing anxiety. They suggest that drops in blood sugar can
induce panic attacks. Eat small, healthy meals every 2 hours
throughout the day. Keep safe snacks with you at all times in
case you get stuck waiting. In addition, keep yourself hydrated!

2. Eliminate Stimulants

Stimulants - simple sugars, caffeine, and cigarettes - can cause
you to feel the symptoms of a panic attack and, for some people,
can actually cause panic attacks. Limiting or eliminating your
use of these stimulants can help to eliminate panic attacks.

3. Breathe Deeply

Learn to breathe deeply. During a panic attack or in the midst of
a fearful moment, people tend to take frequent shallow breaths.
This style of breathing may cause you to experience tingling in
our hands and feet and to feel light-headed. Taking slow, deep
breaths can calm you. Put your hand on your stomach and breathe
in so that your stomach expands. Practice this. After you learn
how, try taking three breaths in this way whenever you experience
stress: breathe in for a count of 8 and out for a count of 7.

4. Learn Creative Visualization Techniques

Creative visualization allows you to escape the stress of the
moment and create a different reality. You can even fool your
body into believing it is experiencing the vision in your head
instead of the reality in the present. Visualize sitting in a
calm environment - at the beach or in the mountains. Imagine
yourself taking a vacation or succeeding at a challenge. Use
these creative visualizations to cope with panic, to image
success in stressful situations, and to provide yourself with a
break from the stress of daily life. As with deep breathing, the
more you practice, the better you will be able to utilize this
tool in the midst of a panic attack.

5. Practice Relaxation Exercises

In my college theater classes, our teacher taught us progressive
relaxation exercises. Now, this and other relaxation exercises
have helped me to survive daily life and childbirth! To
progressively relax yourself, find a quiet corner of your home
and lie on the floor. Beginning with your toes, tense and relax
each muscle group in your body - from your toes to your head.
When you are completely relaxed, take a moment to notice how you
feel. The more you practice this, the better you will be able to
recall this feeling in the midst of a panic episode or a
stressful situation.

6. Exercise!

Participating in daily exercise, such as walking, can relieve
stress and alleviate panic attacks. Make the time doubly
effective by using your walk as a time for prayer or meditation.
Start your walk with a question to God about your life, an
affirmation about yourself ("I am loved," "I am okay," "I am
a survivor."), or a simple prayer ("Thank You," "Bless this
moment," "Guide me.").

7. Write!

Research by psychologist James Pennebaker has shown that people
who used writing to make sense of their traumatic life
experiences had the long-lasting effect of feeling happier and
less anxious. Pick up an inexpensive notebook. Every morning,
take fifteen minutes to dump all of your negative, stressful
stuff into that notebook. Write three pages of this stuff. At the
end of writing about what is difficult, write five experiences or
people or situations that you are grateful for. (For example, "I
am grateful that I am alive," "I am grateful that the sky was a
beautiful shade of blue," "I am grateful for the smiles of
children.")

Carry a small notebook in your purse. Just as you begin to
experience the symptoms of panic or stress, write down the
following: the situation you are in, the sensations you are
feeling in your body, the thoughts you are thinking now and the
thoughts you were thinking before experiencing the first
symptoms, your present feelings and what you were feeling before
the symptoms began. As you do this, remind yourself that what you
are experiencing does not define you - it is simply something
that is happening. You are not the symptom. This exercise can
help you, over time, to pinpoint the causes of your panic
attacks. It can also relieve the symptoms of panic attacks. (I
use this exercise to control my asthma. It comes from the
wonderful book Asthma Free in Twenty-One Days by Kathryn Shafer
and Fran Greenfield.)

Connect!

New research suggests that connecting with others relieves stress
and increases our happiness. When I first experienced my symptoms
of panic, I isolated myself. That was the worst thing I could do!
No matter how challenging your panic becomes, connect with
someone daily. Join a class or group in a shared area of interest
- such as gardening or crafting. Connecting with others will
lower your stress!

Disposable Particulate Respirators
Copyright (c) 2009 Rathi Niyogi
CriticalTool, Inc.
http://www.criticaltool.com/



Disposable particulate respirators come in a variety styles and
are meant to protect workers from nonhazardous contaminants in
the workplace. These types of respirators are one category of
air-purifying respirator.

The filtering material in the disposable respirator can be made
of cloth or paper. This filtering material cleans the air as the
wearer breathes. Some disposable particulate respirators (dust
masks) are used to control nuisance contaminants such as dust,
nonhazardous fibers, animal dander, and pollen. Other disposable
respirators can have added features for use with aerosols, mists,
fumes, and dusts. Disposable particulate respirators are not mean
for use where hazardous chemicals are present and the chemical
needs to be filtered from the air (air-purifying respirators that
utilize chemical-specific filter cartridges would be used in an
instance such as this).

While disposable respirators are convenient, there are
limitations, and workers need to be made aware of these
limitations and the guidelines for wearing disposable respirators
in order to wear them safely.

Disposable respirator used in the workplace should be certified
by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH). Disposable respirators should be matched to their
intended use. The following table summarizes the various types of
disposable particulate respirators:

Type: Description

N95: The N95 disposable respirator filters at least 95% of
airborne particles. It is not resistant to oil.

N99: N99 respirators filter out at least 99% of airborne
particles. It is not resistant to oil.

N100: This disposable respirator filters at least 99.97% of
airborne particles. It is not resistant to oil.

R95: The NR95 disposable respirator filters at least 95% of
airborne particles. It is somewhat resistant to oil.

R99: R99 respirators filter out at least 99% of airborne
particles. It is somewhat resistant to oil.

R100: This disposable respirator filters at least 99.97% of
airborne particles. It is somewhat resistant to oil.

P95: The P95 disposable respirator filters at least 95% of
airborne particles. It is strongly resistant to oil.

P99: P99 respirators filter out at least 99% of airborne
particles. It is strongly resistant to oil.

P100: This disposable respirator filters at least 99.97% of
airborne particles. It is strongly resistant to oil.

(Note: There are currently no NIOSH-approved R99, R100, or P99
disposable particulate respirators.)

"Dust masks," like those often found at hardware stores, that
do not carry one of the ratings listed in the table above are far
less effective and should not be used where respirators are
needed for worker protection in fulfillment of regulatory
requirements.

Fit Testing

Disposable particulate respirators are not excluded from OSHA
requirements for fit testing.

Medical Evaluation

If respirator use is required in the workplace and disposable
respirators are part of that requirement, you must have your
workers medically evaluated in order to ensure that they can wear
the respirator safely.

When To Replace

Disposable particulate respirators become more efficient as
particles are trapped in the filter media. However, like all
filters, they have a limit. Respirators should be replaced when
breathing while using the respirator becomes difficult.

When Respirator Use Is Not Required

Sometimes, workers may want to wear respirators in the workplace
even though they are not required. Most often, the type of
respirator worn in a voluntary situation is a disposable
particulate respirator. Regardless of whether the voluntarily
worn respirator is a disposable respirator or some other type of
air-purifying respirator, employers still have some obligations
under OSHA regulations - albeit fewer than when respiratory
protection is mandatory.

In order for workers to wear respirators on a voluntary basis,
you must determine that wearing a respirator will not in itself
create a hazard. If you determine that voluntary respirator use
is permissible, you must provide the respirator users with the
information contained in Appendix D of 29 CFR 1910.134. Also,
according to OSHA, you must, "implement those elements of the
written respiratory protection program necessary to ensure that
any employee using a respirator voluntarily is medically able to
use that respirator, and that the respirator is cleaned, stored,
and maintained so its use does not present a health hazard to the
user." However, OSHA further states that you are not required
"to include in a written respiratory program those employees
whose only use of respirators involves the voluntary use of
filtering facepieces (dust masks)."

Cancer Risks and Health
Copyright (c) 2009 Kevin Kielty

http://www.ncinsuranceplan.com



Cancer is the second major cause of death in the United States.
More than half a million of us to die of cancer every year. Most
cancers occur in people age 55 and over. The best defense for
many types of cancer is early detection therefore, it is
important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, have regular checkups
with your doctor and report any unusual symptoms.

Cancer is the result of changes in the genes that control cell
growth. In a healthy cell, the genes will tell it when to stop
reproducing, to mend any damage or to destroy itself if the
damage cannot be repaired. However, a damaged cell will override
these messages and continue to reproduce more damaged cells.

While we cannot control all of our risks for cancer, there are
some things we can do that will help to lower our chances of
getting some of the more common types of cancer.

Skin Cancer

The most common type of cancer is skin cancer and the two most
common types of skin cancer are squamous cell cancer and basal
cell cancer. Squamous cell cancer can spread throughout the body
while basal cell cancer usually does not. Both types of skin
cancer typically start on the parts of the body that are mostly
exposed to the sun such as the face, hands or arms.

Risk factors for developing skin cancer include being fair
skinned, a history of spending great amounts of time in the sun,
getting many sunburns as a child, and having light-colored hair
and green or blue eyes.

Sun protection is the primary way to avoid skin cancer. Always
use plenty of sunscreen and reapply it every two hours and after
sweating or swimming. Also avoid tanning beds and sun exposure
between the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer death in the United
States. Every year or it kills more people than any other type of
cancer. When lung cancer begins, there may be no symptoms at all.
It can take years for the cancer to progress before any problems
are noticed.

Risk factors for developing lung cancer include smoking and being
exposed to secondhand smoke, family history and exposure to radon
gas.

The best way to prevent lung cancer is to either stop smoking,
avoid secondhand smoke and check the radon levels in your house.

Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is the second major cause of cancer death in the
United States. A major risk factor in developing colon cancer is
family history. If there are many people in your family who have
developed colon cancer you will probably require regular
colonoscopies. The risk of developing colon cancer increases with
age. Most people who are diagnosed are over age 50. Other risk
factors include a diet that is high in fat and low in fiber,
folic acid and calcium.

The primary way to prevent colon cancer is a colonoscopy. If you
do not have a family history of colon cancer your doctor may
recommend a colonoscopy when you turn 50. If there is a strong
family history of colon cancer, your doctor may recommend one
sooner.

Family history and environmental factors effects whether or not a
person will develop cancer. Although we cannot control the genes
that we inherit, it is important to know what environmental
factors affect our cancer risks and take steps to change those
things so that we can live healthy and cancer-free lives.

The 5 Steps To Clearing Up Razor Bumps
Copyright (c) 2009 Sean A. Jackson
Your Best Look Now
http://www.yourbestlooknow.com/



With summer quickly approaching, more people will be shedding
their winter clothes in favor of clothes that expose more skin.
What better time to start clearing up those skin problems than
now.

For black men and women, razor bumps is probably one the most
unsightly skin problems that exist. Razor bumps can be
embarrassing in a job interview by drawing attention to your skin
rather than your credentials.

Also, women who suffer from razor bumps are often embarrassed by
wearing bathing suits in public.

It is estimated that 60% of the black men in America suffer from
razor bumps. Yet, despite the prevalence of this skin condition,
it is easily treatable.

Here are five simple steps that will help clear up your razor
bumps and prepare your skin for the summer:

Step 1 - Read The Labels Of What You Are Putting On Your Skin

Most men who shave with a razor and women as well, use shaving
foams that contain some form of alcohol. Products that contain
alcohol will dry out your skin. Dry skin is the main culprit of
causing black people to get razor bumps. Consider using oil based
shaving oils or creams.

Step 2 - Wash The Area You Are Planning To Shave

Resist the urge to immediately shave your face, legs, or pubic
area without first washing the area. You never know what could be
on your skin after being at work all day or sleeping on your bed
all night. Use a gentle cleaner so as not to dry out your skin,
but rinse away any bacteria or fungus.

Step 3 - Learn How To Shave The Right Way

When using a razor, use cold water to rinse in between strokes.
Hot water will warp your blade which can bump up your skin faster
than you can say ouch! Men should shave with the grain of the
hairs and not against the grain. Since the neck hair grows in a
different direction, change direction of the strokes when you
shave your neck.

Step 4 - Skip The After Shave

If you were James Bond or Magnum P.I., I would recommend using
the alcohol based after shave products. However , if your skin is
more like Denzel Washington or Sidney Poitier, you will need to
play to it’s strengths. I recommend using a daily moisturizer
that will also prevent break outs and is alcohol free.

Step 5 - Stop Plucking Out Those Ingrown Hair

Plucking out ingrown hairs will cause your skin to bruise and
look even worse. As your skin heals, the ingrown hairs will
become exposed. This will allow you to gently remove the tip that
has poked back into your skin, thus healing the razor bumps.

It will take time to heal your skin. However, if you use the
above steps you will begin to treat your skin better and with
time your skin will look great for any season!

CPAP Masks: Solving 3 Common Problems
Copyright (c) 2009 Chris Vasta
The CPAP Shop
http://www.thecpapshop.com



For some people, just the thought of having to secure a plastic
mask to their face is unpleasant.   Sleep is a precious commodity
to all. But it is particularly precious to the people suffering
from sleep apnea. The idea of sleep which many of us take for
granted now becomes a monumental undertaking.  New and improved
CPAP machines are built to be exceptionally quiet and compact.
However, the CPAP mask remains the number one complaint with CPAP
equipment users.  Speaking with many clients over the years, we
have identified the three most common complaints and offer
solutions to help get the rest you need and enhance your
lifestyle.

Itchy And Dry Nose/Mouth

After numerous tries on various masks CPAP masks
(http://www.thecpapshop.com/cpap-nasal-masks.html), you have
finally found a comfortable cpap mask which fits all the
intricacies of your face.  This, as most CPAP users are acutely
aware, is no small feat. Even though your mask fits comfortably
on your face, you may still be hindered by a problem common to
many users - continual dry mouth and/or stuffy nose.  A simple
and cost effective solution to this issue is the addition of a
heated humidifier to your CPAP machine.  Using a heated
humidifier will help decrease nasal congestion and stuffiness
which results in a more comfortable CPAP experience and a more
rested feeling when you wake up.

Newer style CPAP machines often come with an integrated heated
humidifier.  These integrated units are still quite small and
considered very travel friendly.  Even older CPAP machines can
make use of a universal stand-alone heated humidifier such as the
Velocity Heated Humidifier. Additionally, an improperly sealed
CPAP mask can also produce a dry feeling in the nose and throat.
It is vital to inspect your CPAP mask continuously to make sure
that the silicone or gel cushion has not broken down and is still
providing an effective seal.  Generally, these cushions should be
replaced within 3 to 6 months of constant use to maintain
efficacy.

Facial Marks And Nose Sores

For the most effective results, CPAP users need to ensure the
mask has an effective and comfortable seal around the nose or the
nose and mouth.  We have spoken to hundreds of patients and found
that CPAP users commonly mention facial marks and nose sores are
an irritant.  This issue is generally caused by over-tightening
of the mask straps.  CPAP masks are designed to produce an
effective seal without applying significant amounts of pressure
to the face.  In fact, if you are over-tightening your mask, it
is probably time for a new cushion or complete mask.
Nevertheless, a simple but effective solution is to put the mask
on while in bed.

While you are lying in bed, place the mask on your face and
connect the headgear so the mask is snug but not tight.  A CPAP
mask is designed to have an evenly distributed seal.  By placing
the mask on while lying down, it allows for a proper fit during
sleeping.  Make sure that your mask fits snuggly but not to lose
as this will cause air to escape.  If there is too much tension
toward the top of the mask, it can cause sores at the bridge of
the nose.

While finding a comfortable CPAP mask is ideal, having an
appropriately sized mask is crucial to effective CPAP treatment.
Many of the new style masks have implemented gel or an inflatable
type cushions that compensate for movements in any direction.
These types of masks allow for an improved seal without needing
to over-tighten the mask straps.  The Respironics Comfort Gel
nasal mask and the Resmed Mirage Activa LT are two excellent
examples of this technology. Furthermore, masks such as the
Resmed Mirage Micro LT have an adjustable forehead assembly that
can be easily modified to suit each user's profile.

Cpap Pressure Tolerance

Most first-time users experience the unpleasant feeling of CPAP
air pressure immediately.  The pressure is delivered from the
CPAP machine, through a tube and into the CPAP mask generally at
a fixed rate.  This sensation, which can be uncomfortable to new
users, will be alleviated by using the ramp feature on your CPAP
machine.  The ramp feature allows the CPAP pressure to gradually
increase over a period of time.  For example, if your CPAP
pressure is 13cm/H20, you may find it more relaxing to have the
CPAP pressure start at 4cm/H20 and then "ramp up" over 20
minutes, at which time the CPAP machine will reach its prescribed
setting.   This is usually accomplished while you are drifting
off to sleep so it is less intrusive. Most of the high-end CPAP
machines (auto adjusting) have a ramp feature that is automatic
and does not require manual adjustments.   By using this feature
properly, the CPAP user should become accustomed to the
prescribed pressure and have less trouble securing your CPAP
mask.   If problems continue, please consult with your sleep
specialist.

Conclusion

These three commonly encountered CPAP issues are all solvable.
Understanding the solutions will ensure better compliance,
provide CPAP users with a more effective treatment and aid you
in achieving improved sleep.  This, in turn, will positively
affect quality of life and reduce the negative issues associated
with CPAP.

Bodybuilding Supplements - Easy Road to Massive Gains - or an Empty Wallet?
Copyright (c) 2009 Len Rogalski
How To Build Up Muscle
http://www.howtobuildupmuscle.net/



If you have ever flipped through a copy of one of the more
popular bodybuilding magazines on the market you have seen them.

Page after page of ads, each one proclaiming their unique
benefits - one promises massive gains in six weeks another
serious fat loss.

Almost all of them have catchy names and the ads sure look
impressive - and healthy price tags to boot.

Here's the thing - nearly all of those products you see should
be viewed one way - as supplements to a solid bodybuilding
program.

One that focuses on the basic lifts contains plenty of high
quality protein, clean carbs, and healthy fats.

And almost more importantly - focuses on getting at least eight
hours of sleep per night - every night.

Only when you can ask yourself if your program fits all of the
above criteria and can honestly answer yes, then and only then
should you start looking into buying supplements.

Then it is simply analyzing what you are currently trying to
achieve and searching out a quality product that will HELP you
achieve your goal - but won't get you there all-by-itself.

For example, if you are severely underweight and need to gain
weight for football or another sport, looking into buying a
quality weight gainer would not be a bad option.

Notice above I said quality weight gainer, when purchasing
supplements it is never a good idea to go cheap - sure you might
save a few bucks, however, chances are that cheap products
contain cheap ingredients that will yield little if any positive
results.

What I mean by the above is this, a cheap weight gainer that uses
cheap fats and sugars to inflate its calorie count will; chances
are, only increase the size of your waist - not good.

One other point, people often complain that they are not getting
any results from using a certain supplement, the thing is, when
you question them about it they say things like, well they had to
cut the serving size in half to save money, or they only use it
when they remember.

No supplement, no matter how good is going to do anything for you
if you do not take enough of it, within reason of course, or if
you only take it once a week.

Lastly, when you do make the decision to buy a supplement make
sure you only buy one at a time, this way when you add it in to
your diet and exercise program you will be able to tell if it is
working or not.

Actually if possible it would be best to keep all the other
factors as close to constant as you can for a couple of weeks
(meaning keep the same routine and diet you had before adding in
the supplement) so that you will be able to tell with pretty good
accuracy if the supplement you bought is doing what it said it
would do.

If you add two or three things at one time you won't know which
product is working, so stick to trying one thing at a time until
you find something that works.

Conclusion

If you make sure that your diet and exercise program are on track
before you purchase a supplement, and only buy supplements that
were meant to help you achieve your particular goal, not only

Using Diet to Help Control Arthritis Symptoms
Copyright (c) 2009 Cathy Q
Treatment of Arthritis
http://www.treatment-of-arthritis.com



Diet is an important factor in many diseases including arthritis.
Here are some tips to using diet to help control your arthritis
symptoms.

  * Eat a healthy, well balanced diet. This is the number one rule
in controlling many diseases. When the body has the vitamins and
nutrients it needs it is better able to fight off disease.

  * Drink plenty of water. Drinking 8 glasses of water each day
helps keep the cells hydrated and working their best.

  * Eat foods that are high in antioxidants. Antioxidants are
responsible for ridding the body of excess free radicals that can
cause disease and break down the immune system. Antioxidants
boost the immune system and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Many vegetables and fruits contain high levels of antioxidants.

  * Eat a low fat diet. Fats can do more harm than good to the
body. Eliminate or cut back on saturated fats, which have
detrimental effects. Eat the healthy types of fats instead.

  * Eat foods that contain the five essential components, which
include protein, carbohydrates, minerals, fats and vitamins.

  * Some foods are thought to be triggers for arthritis flare-ups.
While the jury is still out on whether or not this is true, some
people swear by it. If you have certain foods that seem to cause
you problems systematically eliminate them from your diet to see
if you see improvement. Some common foods that may be possible
culprits are acidic foods like tomatoes and oranges.

  * Eat less processed foods. Processed foods contain chemical
preservatives and excess salt, which is not good for the body.
Processed foods also lose much of their nutritive value,
particularly canned foods.

  * Use more plant oils in cooking. Plant oils are thought to play
a role in fighting arthritis. Olive oil is one of the best oils
to use in your food.

  * Eat foods that contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty
acids are known to reduce pain and inflammation of people with
arthritis. It is found in oily fish such as mackerel, salmon,
trout sardines and herring. Other good sources are grape seeds,
walnuts, and oils such as safflower and canola.

  * Supplement your diet with omega-3 fatty acids if you don't
get enough in your regular diet. Supplements are readily
available at your local pharmacy or health food store.

  * Try to eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each
day. These contain antioxidants that are necessary to help fight
arthritis.

  * Eat foods that contain folic acid. Folic acid, also known as
folate, is part of the B group of vitamins. These are good for
counteracting some of the side effects of prescription rheumatoid
arthritis medication. Folic acid is found in green leafy
vegetables like spinach and cabbage as well as in whole grains
and dairy products.

  * Green tea has been found to be helpful in providing
antioxidants and is helpful for those with osteoarthritis. Drink
a cup of green tea daily.

While there is still much more research to be done, eating a
healthy diet will help you to improve your health and can also
help with arthritis symptoms.

Home Body Detox Super Liquids
Copyright (c) 2009 John Khu
Body Detox Tips
http://www.bodydetoxtips.com/



A body detox diet can be a fresh, full, spicy, and delicious
feast altogether. What with all the sumptuous fresh fruit salads
and vegetable soups, one can easily forget that he or she is
actually on a home body detox. However, it is not just all about
the solid foods. If there are superfoods, there are superliquids
too! Much of the cleansing is really made possible by the liquids
that are taken in the body.

So take advantage of a home body detox and don't worry much
about getting diuretic. Surely, it will be to your body's
benefit. It is highly recommended that the liquid detoxification
process be implemented in the morning when the body is in its
best cleansing mood.

The All-Important Water

If you are the type who seems to get regular headaches, then you
must also be the type who doesn't really care much about your
water intake. Much of the headaches are really caused by the
depleted water level in the body, which could translate to
dehydration. In a total body detox however, water plays a very
important role as it helps flush out the toxic wastes. As such,
the more water you drink, the healthier you become.

If you have to put a big pitcher or container full of water
beside you wherever you go then do so as it will encourage you to
drink more from time to time. An important reminder though! When
it comes to water, it has to be purified. Otherwise, it will
defeat the purpose of the whole body detox plan. Do not rely too
much on tap water because these days, it can contain bacteria and
other harmful substances that you do not know of. So go for
distilled water or spring water and you're good to go.

All-Natural Herbal Teas

Next to drinking coffee, drinking herbal tea is a common
practice. While it is extremely soothing to drink a hot tea, its
natural healing properties have been likewise recognized since
the ancient times. These days, herbal teas come in different
flavors and are more enjoyed over coffee because of its minimal
or non-existent caffeine content.

In particular, herbal colon cleanse teas work to detoxify the
organ by breaking down mucoid plaque in the colon walls and then
eliminating the wastes. It is also known to strengthen the lower
bowel. More importantly, herbal colon cleanse teas give a whole
body detox from yeasts, parasites, bacteria and viruses.

All Fruits and Vegetable Cocktails

Watermelon, as the fruit name suggests, has lots of water
content. Carefully selected watermelon can be deliciously red and
sweet. Watermelon juice is definitely great for body detox as
well. With a juice extractor, juice up the watermelon flesh, some
of its seeds, and a small portion of the green part right below
the rind.

On the other hand, juices that are made from fresh vegetables
have numerous health benefits. The multivitamin content in
vegetables builds up the body's resistance against diseases. It
also facilitates the metabolic processes and increases the energy
levels. Most importantly, vegetable juice helps the body detox
system in expelling the toxins from the body.

Summer Cooking and Acid Reflux
Copyright (c) 2009 Wind Publishing
Written by: Charles Stewart Richey
Reflux Gone Forever
http://www.refluxgoneforever.com



The summer season provides a cornucopia of delicious vegetables,
fruits and herbs. Preparing meals during this wonderful season
presents boundless opportunities to prepare easily digestible
food. This is particularly important to those who suffer from
acid reflux.

The tomato, which many consider the quintessential fruit of
summer, has long been given a bad rap. Thought of as acidic in
nature, many people who experience acid reflux shun the tomato
like the plague. When tomatoes are slowly over cooked to produce
a thick sauce they do become extremely acidic. When served raw in
their natural state tomatoes, however, are sweet and alkaline.

My all time favorite tomato recipe is quite simple and easy to
prepare. Made with slices of tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil,
it is better known in Italy as Caprese Salad (in the style of
Capri). It is the starter listed below for my favorite summer
meal.

Cooking outdoors is an American summer tradition. It is
liberating to get out of the kitchen to cook and the clean up is
much easier. My favorite main dish of summer is chicken. I buy a
"natural" bird to start with. I then butterfly it by cutting
close to the backbone from tail to neck, flip it over and press
it down, dry it with paper towels and season it. This makes a
much nicer presentation than just grilling loose pieces of
chicken.

I live in a log cabin on a mountain top in rural Pennsylvania.
Because we have so many bear and other creatures who share our
love of outdoor cooking, we confine those activities to the deck
using a Weber gas grill with a cover. In order to create that
real woodsy flavor of a traditional barbeque, we use one of those
metal wood chip boxes filled with oak, mesquite or hickory. The
oak is free. Twigs and branches fall out of the trees in the back
yard. I like to mix these woods together to produce a unique
smoke flavor. I call this cooking technique "grill-a-quing",
because you are combining grilling with barbequing and smoking.

Of course, the chicken can be cooked in the traditional manner
over coals or wood. The secret is to start off with high heat in
order to seal the bird. When the fat starts to flare up, the heat
must be brought down to low. The objective it to keep the juices
in while making the skin very crisp. This is more easily
controlled when using a gas grill with a cover.

A three and one half to four pounder can require up to two hours
to fully cook. While the chicken is slowly cooking filling the
air with enticing flavors, I have time to make the final
arrangements for dinner. When the chicken is done it is crispy on
the outside and moist and juicy inside. It is almost impossible
to resist eating the skin. I always have a just little piece of
skin off the thigh to satisfy that urge. I present the
butterflied chicken on a carving board and serve the portions
upon request. If you can't pull it apart with your fingers, then
it has not cooked enough.

I like to serve the chicken with a garden salad, utilizing as
many ingredients as possible. We grow herbs and vegetables on the
decks in large terracotta clay pots. It is very convenient to
just walk out the French doors onto the deck and harvest what you
will need for the salad while the bird is cooking. If you want
carbs, make a simple pasta primavera with the vegetables using
penne or even orzo. Toss with oil, vinegar and fresh herbs like
oregano and set aside. This dish is perfectly fine served at room
temperature.

To complete this meal, I like to serve a simple dessert featuring
whatever fruits are in season. Local berries or ripe peaches are
always delicious. I like to serve them over lemon pound cake with
a dollop of whipped cream. In Pennsylvania we have local apples
in late summer. My favorite dessert is a puff pastry apple tart
with apricot rum glaze. This is so easy to make, yet looks quite
impressive to eagerly awaiting appetites. If you opt for the
apple tart, you will have to bake it earlier in the day. Let it
cool and place it in a cold oven to keep the pastry crispy.

Bon Appetite!



CAPRESE SALAD

Ingredients:

Four Ripe tomatoes (about two pounds), sliced thin (1/4 inch)

Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper

One pound of fresh mozzarella sliced about the same as tomatoes

One cup chiffonade of fresh Basil (stack basil leave, roll up and
cut into thin slices)

Extra virgin olive oil (first cold pressed)

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Directions:

Arrange the tomato slices on a serving platter. Season with salt
and pepper. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle half the basil on the
tomatoes and cover with slices of mozzarella. Drizzle more olive
oil and sprinkle more basil over the mozzarella. Garnish dish
with chopped chives. Hold at room temperature before serving just
long enough to allow the cheese to soften and meld with the
tomato juices. Serve with warm crusty bread for sopping up the
juices.



GRILL-A-QUED BUTTERFLIED CHICKEN

Ingredients:

Grill spray

Wood chips (oak, apple, mesquite or hickory)

3-1/2 to 4 pound natural chicken (butterflied as explained above)

Sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder and cayenne
pepper

Directions:

Spray clean grill thoroughly with oil and fill the metal wood box
with pieces of wood (the wood does not need to be soaked in
water). Ignite entire grill at the highest setting. Meanwhile
remove excess fat from chicken and season chicken on both sides
with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper to taste.
When the wood starts to smoke and the grill is very hot, place
the seasoned chicken breast side up on the cooking grates. Wait a
few minutes and when fat flares up adjust heat to the lowest
setting. Continue to cook, checking periodically, until the skin
is quite crisp and the joints are easily moved (about an hour and
a half to two hours) . The chicken should be well done but not
dried out. When you see that the flesh can be easily pulled
apart, carefully move the chicken to a cutting board. Allow
fifteen minutes for the juices to set up before serving. The
secret to making this dish is "seal and slow". You do not want
the flames that might flare up as fat is being expelled to burn
the skin of the chicken. If this does occur, open the lid of the
cooker until they subside. Natural chickens have less fat.



PUFF PASTRY APPLE TART WITH APRICOT RUM GLAZE

Ingredients:

One sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

Three or four tart apples (Braeburn, Fuji or Gala) peeled,
halved, cored and sliced into very thin pieces

Juice of one lemon

Three tablespoons fine white sugar

Cinnamon

One quarter cup apricot jam

One quarter cup dark rum

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare apples and place in work bowl. Toss lightly with lemon
juice. Thaw puff pastry according to directions. Place jam and
rum in a deep microwave safe bowl partially covered with plastic
wrap. Heat until boiling, but not over flowing so that the
alcohol in the rum evaporates and forms a glaze. Set aside. Line
a 12" x 18" baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out pastry
sheet on lightly floured surface to make a bit thinner. Fold the
edges of the pastry over to form a border of about 1/2 inch on
all sides of the rectangle. Place the sliced apples overlapping
each other in alternating vertical rows to cover pastry sheet,
keeping the rows within the border. Dust with sugar and cinnamon.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until pastry is golden and apples
are tender. With a pastry brush, apply the glaze over the apples
(reheat the glaze if necessary). Serve with crème fraiche,
whipped cream or ice cream. A sprig of mint and a few raspberries
make a terrific garnish with each serving.



All courses represent a serving for four.

Summer Cooking and Acid Reflux
Copyright (c) 2009 Wind Publishing
Written by: Charles Stewart Richey
Reflux Gone Forever
http://www.refluxgoneforever.com



The summer season provides a cornucopia of delicious vegetables,
fruits and herbs. Preparing meals during this wonderful season
presents boundless opportunities to prepare easily digestible
food. This is particularly important to those who suffer from
acid reflux.

The tomato, which many consider the quintessential fruit of
summer, has long been given a bad rap. Thought of as acidic in
nature, many people who experience acid reflux shun the tomato
like the plague. When tomatoes are slowly over cooked to produce
a thick sauce they do become extremely acidic. When served raw in
their natural state tomatoes, however, are sweet and alkaline.

My all time favorite tomato recipe is quite simple and easy to
prepare. Made with slices of tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil,
it is better known in Italy as Caprese Salad (in the style of
Capri). It is the starter listed below for my favorite summer
meal.

Cooking outdoors is an American summer tradition. It is
liberating to get out of the kitchen to cook and the clean up is
much easier. My favorite main dish of summer is chicken. I buy a
"natural" bird to start with. I then butterfly it by cutting
close to the backbone from tail to neck, flip it over and press
it down, dry it with paper towels and season it. This makes a
much nicer presentation than just grilling loose pieces of
chicken.

I live in a log cabin on a mountain top in rural Pennsylvania.
Because we have so many bear and other creatures who share our
love of outdoor cooking, we confine those activities to the deck
using a Weber gas grill with a cover. In order to create that
real woodsy flavor of a traditional barbeque, we use one of those
metal wood chip boxes filled with oak, mesquite or hickory. The
oak is free. Twigs and branches fall out of the trees in the back
yard. I like to mix these woods together to produce a unique
smoke flavor. I call this cooking technique "grill-a-quing",
because you are combining grilling with barbequing and smoking.

Of course, the chicken can be cooked in the traditional manner
over coals or wood. The secret is to start off with high heat in
order to seal the bird. When the fat starts to flare up, the heat
must be brought down to low. The objective it to keep the juices
in while making the skin very crisp. This is more easily
controlled when using a gas grill with a cover.

A three and one half to four pounder can require up to two hours
to fully cook. While the chicken is slowly cooking filling the
air with enticing flavors, I have time to make the final
arrangements for dinner. When the chicken is done it is crispy on
the outside and moist and juicy inside. It is almost impossible
to resist eating the skin. I always have a just little piece of
skin off the thigh to satisfy that urge. I present the
butterflied chicken on a carving board and serve the portions
upon request. If you can't pull it apart with your fingers, then
it has not cooked enough.

I like to serve the chicken with a garden salad, utilizing as
many ingredients as possible. We grow herbs and vegetables on the
decks in large terracotta clay pots. It is very convenient to
just walk out the French doors onto the deck and harvest what you
will need for the salad while the bird is cooking. If you want
carbs, make a simple pasta primavera with the vegetables using
penne or even orzo. Toss with oil, vinegar and fresh herbs like
oregano and set aside. This dish is perfectly fine served at room
temperature.

To complete this meal, I like to serve a simple dessert featuring
whatever fruits are in season. Local berries or ripe peaches are
always delicious. I like to serve them over lemon pound cake with
a dollop of whipped cream. In Pennsylvania we have local apples
in late summer. My favorite dessert is a puff pastry apple tart
with apricot rum glaze. This is so easy to make, yet looks quite
impressive to eagerly awaiting appetites. If you opt for the
apple tart, you will have to bake it earlier in the day. Let it
cool and place it in a cold oven to keep the pastry crispy.

Bon Appetite!



CAPRESE SALAD

Ingredients:

Four Ripe tomatoes (about two pounds), sliced thin (1/4 inch)

Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper

One pound of fresh mozzarella sliced about the same as tomatoes

One cup chiffonade of fresh Basil (stack basil leave, roll up and
cut into thin slices)

Extra virgin olive oil (first cold pressed)

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Directions:

Arrange the tomato slices on a serving platter. Season with salt
and pepper. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle half the basil on the
tomatoes and cover with slices of mozzarella. Drizzle more olive
oil and sprinkle more basil over the mozzarella. Garnish dish
with chopped chives. Hold at room temperature before serving just
long enough to allow the cheese to soften and meld with the
tomato juices. Serve with warm crusty bread for sopping up the
juices.



GRILL-A-QUED BUTTERFLIED CHICKEN

Ingredients:

Grill spray

Wood chips (oak, apple, mesquite or hickory)

3-1/2 to 4 pound natural chicken (butterflied as explained above)

Sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder and cayenne
pepper

Directions:

Spray clean grill thoroughly with oil and fill the metal wood box
with pieces of wood (the wood does not need to be soaked in
water). Ignite entire grill at the highest setting. Meanwhile
remove excess fat from chicken and season chicken on both sides
with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper to taste.
When the wood starts to smoke and the grill is very hot, place
the seasoned chicken breast side up on the cooking grates. Wait a
few minutes and when fat flares up adjust heat to the lowest
setting. Continue to cook, checking periodically, until the skin
is quite crisp and the joints are easily moved (about an hour and
a half to two hours) . The chicken should be well done but not
dried out. When you see that the flesh can be easily pulled
apart, carefully move the chicken to a cutting board. Allow
fifteen minutes for the juices to set up before serving. The
secret to making this dish is "seal and slow". You do not want
the flames that might flare up as fat is being expelled to burn
the skin of the chicken. If this does occur, open the lid of the
cooker until they subside. Natural chickens have less fat.



PUFF PASTRY APPLE TART WITH APRICOT RUM GLAZE

Ingredients:

One sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

Three or four tart apples (Braeburn, Fuji or Gala) peeled,
halved, cored and sliced into very thin pieces

Juice of one lemon

Three tablespoons fine white sugar

Cinnamon

One quarter cup apricot jam

One quarter cup dark rum

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare apples and place in work bowl. Toss lightly with lemon
juice. Thaw puff pastry according to directions. Place jam and
rum in a deep microwave safe bowl partially covered with plastic
wrap. Heat until boiling, but not over flowing so that the
alcohol in the rum evaporates and forms a glaze. Set aside. Line
a 12" x 18" baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out pastry
sheet on lightly floured surface to make a bit thinner. Fold the
edges of the pastry over to form a border of about 1/2 inch on
all sides of the rectangle. Place the sliced apples overlapping
each other in alternating vertical rows to cover pastry sheet,
keeping the rows within the border. Dust with sugar and cinnamon.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until pastry is golden and apples
are tender. With a pastry brush, apply the glaze over the apples
(reheat the glaze if necessary). Serve with crème fraiche,
whipped cream or ice cream. A sprig of mint and a few raspberries
make a terrific garnish with each serving.



All courses represent a serving for four.

Bodybuilding Supplements - Easy Road to Massive Gains - or an Empty Wallet?
Copyright (c) 2009 Len Rogalski
How To Build Up Muscle
http://www.howtobuildupmuscle.net/



If you have ever flipped through a copy of one of the more
popular bodybuilding magazines on the market you have seen them.

Page after page of ads, each one proclaiming their unique
benefits - one promises massive gains in six weeks another
serious fat loss.

Almost all of them have catchy names and the ads sure look
impressive - and healthy price tags to boot.

Here's the thing - nearly all of those products you see should
be viewed one way - as supplements to a solid bodybuilding
program.

One that focuses on the basic lifts contains plenty of high
quality protein, clean carbs, and healthy fats.

And almost more importantly - focuses on getting at least eight
hours of sleep per night - every night.

Only when you can ask yourself if your program fits all of the
above criteria and can honestly answer yes, then and only then
should you start looking into buying supplements.

Then it is simply analyzing what you are currently trying to
achieve and searching out a quality product that will HELP you
achieve your goal - but won't get you there all-by-itself.

For example, if you are severely underweight and need to gain
weight for football or another sport, looking into buying a
quality weight gainer would not be a bad option.

Notice above I said quality weight gainer, when purchasing
supplements it is never a good idea to go cheap - sure you might
save a few bucks, however, chances are that cheap products
contain cheap ingredients that will yield little if any positive
results.

What I mean by the above is this, a cheap weight gainer that uses
cheap fats and sugars to inflate its calorie count will; chances
are, only increase the size of your waist - not good.

One other point, people often complain that they are not getting
any results from using a certain supplement, the thing is, when
you question them about it they say things like, well they had to
cut the serving size in half to save money, or they only use it
when they remember.

No supplement, no matter how good is going to do anything for you
if you do not take enough of it, within reason of course, or if
you only take it once a week.

Lastly, when you do make the decision to buy a supplement make
sure you only buy one at a time, this way when you add it in to
your diet and exercise program you will be able to tell if it is
working or not.

Actually if possible it would be best to keep all the other
factors as close to constant as you can for a couple of weeks
(meaning keep the same routine and diet you had before adding in
the supplement) so that you will be able to tell with pretty good
accuracy if the supplement you bought is doing what it said it
would do.

If you add two or three things at one time you won't know which
product is working, so stick to trying one thing at a time until
you find something that works.

Conclusion

If you make sure that your diet and exercise program are on track
before you purchase a supplement, and only buy supplements that
were meant to help you achieve your particular goal, not only
will you make better gains, but chances are you will keep more
money in your wallet as a result - and that's definitely a good
combination!

...Always Train Hard...

Using Diet to Help Control Arthritis Symptoms
Copyright (c) 2009 Cathy Q
Treatment of Arthritis
http://www.treatment-of-arthritis.com



Diet is an important factor in many diseases including arthritis.
Here are some tips to using diet to help control your arthritis
symptoms.

  * Eat a healthy, well balanced diet. This is the number one rule
in controlling many diseases. When the body has the vitamins and
nutrients it needs it is better able to fight off disease.

  * Drink plenty of water. Drinking 8 glasses of water each day
helps keep the cells hydrated and working their best.

  * Eat foods that are high in antioxidants. Antioxidants are
responsible for ridding the body of excess free radicals that can
cause disease and break down the immune system. Antioxidants
boost the immune system and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Many vegetables and fruits contain high levels of antioxidants.

  * Eat a low fat diet. Fats can do more harm than good to the
body. Eliminate or cut back on saturated fats, which have
detrimental effects. Eat the healthy types of fats instead.

  * Eat foods that contain the five essential components, which
include protein, carbohydrates, minerals, fats and vitamins.

  * Some foods are thought to be triggers for arthritis flare-ups.
While the jury is still out on whether or not this is true, some
people swear by it. If you have certain foods that seem to cause
you problems systematically eliminate them from your diet to see
if you see improvement. Some common foods that may be possible
culprits are acidic foods like tomatoes and oranges.

  * Eat less processed foods. Processed foods contain chemical
preservatives and excess salt, which is not good for the body.
Processed foods also lose much of their nutritive value,
particularly canned foods.

  * Use more plant oils in cooking. Plant oils are thought to play
a role in fighting arthritis. Olive oil is one of the best oils
to use in your food.

  * Eat foods that contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty
acids are known to reduce pain and inflammation of people with
arthritis. It is found in oily fish such as mackerel, salmon,
trout sardines and herring. Other good sources are grape seeds,
walnuts, and oils such as safflower and canola.

  * Supplement your diet with omega-3 fatty acids if you don't
get enough in your regular diet. Supplements are readily
available at your local pharmacy or health food store.

  * Try to eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each
day. These contain antioxidants that are necessary to help fight
arthritis.

  * Eat foods that contain folic acid. Folic acid, also known as
folate, is part of the B group of vitamins. These are good for
counteracting some of the side effects of prescription rheumatoid
arthritis medication. Folic acid is found in green leafy
vegetables like spinach and cabbage as well as in whole grains
and dairy products.

  * Green tea has been found to be helpful in providing
antioxidants and is helpful for those with osteoarthritis. Drink
a cup of green tea daily.

While there is still much more research to be done, eating a
healthy diet will help you to improve your health and can also
help with arthritis symptoms.

Home Body Detox Super Liquids

Article Description:
====================

A body detox diet can be a fresh, full, spicy, and delicious
feast altogether. What with all the sumptuous fresh fruit salads
and vegetable soups, one can easily forget that he or she is
actually on a home body detox. However, it is not just all about
the solid foods. If there are superfoods, there are superliquids
too! Much of the cleansing is really made possible by the liquids
that are taken in the body.

Home Body Detox Super Liquids
Copyright (c) 2009 John Khu
Body Detox Tips
http://www.bodydetoxtips.com/



A body detox diet can be a fresh, full, spicy, and delicious
feast altogether. What with all the sumptuous fresh fruit salads
and vegetable soups, one can easily forget that he or she is
actually on a home body detox. However, it is not just all about
the solid foods. If there are superfoods, there are superliquids
too! Much of the cleansing is really made possible by the liquids
that are taken in the body.

So take advantage of a home body detox and don't worry much
about getting diuretic. Surely, it will be to your body's
benefit. It is highly recommended that the liquid detoxification
process be implemented in the morning when the body is in its
best cleansing mood.

The All-Important Water

If you are the type who seems to get regular headaches, then you
must also be the type who doesn't really care much about your
water intake. Much of the headaches are really caused by the
depleted water level in the body, which could translate to
dehydration. In a total body detox however, water plays a very
important role as it helps flush out the toxic wastes. As such,
the more water you drink, the healthier you become.

If you have to put a big pitcher or container full of water
beside you wherever you go then do so as it will encourage you to
drink more from time to time. An important reminder though! When
it comes to water, it has to be purified. Otherwise, it will
defeat the purpose of the whole body detox plan. Do not rely too
much on tap water because these days, it can contain bacteria and
other harmful substances that you do not know of. So go for
distilled water or spring water and you're good to go.

All-Natural Herbal Teas

Next to drinking coffee, drinking herbal tea is a common
practice. While it is extremely soothing to drink a hot tea, its
natural healing properties have been likewise recognized since
the ancient times. These days, herbal teas come in different
flavors and are more enjoyed over coffee because of its minimal
or non-existent caffeine content.

In particular, herbal colon cleanse teas work to detoxify the
organ by breaking down mucoid plaque in the colon walls and then
eliminating the wastes. It is also known to strengthen the lower
bowel. More importantly, herbal colon cleanse teas give a whole
body detox from yeasts, parasites, bacteria and viruses.

All Fruits and Vegetable Cocktails

Watermelon, as the fruit name suggests, has lots of water
content. Carefully selected watermelon can be deliciously red and
sweet. Watermelon juice is definitely great for body detox as
well. With a juice extractor, juice up the watermelon flesh, some
of its seeds, and a small portion of the green part right below
the rind.

On the other hand, juices that are made from fresh vegetables
have numerous health benefits. The multivitamin content in
vegetables builds up the body's resistance against diseases. It
also facilitates the metabolic processes and increases the energy
levels. Most importantly, vegetable juice helps the body detox
system in expelling the toxins from the body.

Stop the Anxiety! A Quick Guide for Overcoming Panic Attacks
Copyright (c) 2009 Rochelle Melander
Right Now! Coach
http://www.rightnowcoach.com



I had my first panic attack while giving a speech. One minute I
was telling a joke and appreciating the reaction of the crowd. In
the next moment, I felt like I was watching myself from a
distance. My heart raced, my body shook, and I could not catch my
breath. I wondered how I'd be able to finish my talk without
anyone noticing. Somehow, I did finish the speech. But the panic
was not finished with me.

Over the next two years, I experienced more panic attacks.
Determined to not shrink my life, I sought help. I visited my
doctor, began therapy, and read every book available on
overcoming panic. Over time, I put together a grab bag of
resources to survive the panic attacks. They worked. More than
ten years after that first panic attack, I am nearly panic free.
When the panic starts, I know what to do to stop it. Do you? Here
are my tips to support you in overcoming panic.

First Things First

No matter how great you are at coping with panic and stress, no
matter how helpful my list of strategies might be to you, the
first steps you need to take toward healing are setting up
appointments with both a physician and a therapist.

Panic attacks can be caused by health problems and by medication
as well as by emotional stress. Your doctor can help you to
discern this and guide you toward taking the appropriate actions.

If your panic stems from past emotional wounds, a therapist can
work with you to heal these. In addition, a therapist can provide
you with coping skills that are appropriate to your specific
situation and personality.

Coping Strategies

The following strategies have helped me cope with stress and
alleviate panic attacks. I hope that they will be helpful to you
in your own journey of healing.

1. Eat Regularly

The Panic Attack Recovery Book by Shirley Swede and Seymour
Sheppard Jaffe, M.D. provides helpful dietary guidelines for
preventing anxiety. They suggest that drops in blood sugar can
induce panic attacks. Eat small, healthy meals every 2 hours
throughout the day. Keep safe snacks with you at all times in
case you get stuck waiting. In addition, keep yourself hydrated!

2. Eliminate Stimulants

Stimulants - simple sugars, caffeine, and cigarettes - can cause
you to feel the symptoms of a panic attack and, for some people,
can actually cause panic attacks. Limiting or eliminating your
use of these stimulants can help to eliminate panic attacks.

3. Breathe Deeply

Learn to breathe deeply. During a panic attack or in the midst of
a fearful moment, people tend to take frequent shallow breaths.
This style of breathing may cause you to experience tingling in
our hands and feet and to feel light-headed. Taking slow, deep
breaths can calm you. Put your hand on your stomach and breathe
in so that your stomach expands. Practice this. After you learn
how, try taking three breaths in this way whenever you experience
stress: breathe in for a count of 8 and out for a count of 7.

4. Learn Creative Visualization Techniques

Creative visualization allows you to escape the stress of the
moment and create a different reality. You can even fool your
body into believing it is experiencing the vision in your head
instead of the reality in the present. Visualize sitting in a
calm environment - at the beach or in the mountains. Imagine
yourself taking a vacation or succeeding at a challenge. Use
these creative visualizations to cope with panic, to image
success in stressful situations, and to provide yourself with a
break from the stress of daily life. As with deep breathing, the
more you practice, the better you will be able to utilize this
tool in the midst of a panic attack.

5. Practice Relaxation Exercises

In my college theater classes, our teacher taught us progressive
relaxation exercises. Now, this and other relaxation exercises
have helped me to survive daily life and childbirth! To
progressively relax yourself, find a quiet corner of your home
and lie on the floor. Beginning with your toes, tense and relax
each muscle group in your body - from your toes to your head.
When you are completely relaxed, take a moment to notice how you
feel. The more you practice this, the better you will be able to
recall this feeling in the midst of a panic episode or a
stressful situation.

6. Exercise!

Participating in daily exercise, such as walking, can relieve
stress and alleviate panic attacks. Make the time doubly
effective by using your walk as a time for prayer or meditation.
Start your walk with a question to God about your life, an
affirmation about yourself ("I am loved," "I am okay," "I am
a survivor."), or a simple prayer ("Thank You," "Bless this
moment," "Guide me.").

7. Write!

Research by psychologist James Pennebaker has shown that people
who used writing to make sense of their traumatic life
experiences had the long-lasting effect of feeling happier and
less anxious. Pick up an inexpensive notebook. Every morning,
take fifteen minutes to dump all of your negative, stressful
stuff into that notebook. Write three pages of this stuff. At the
end of writing about what is difficult, write five experiences or
people or situations that you are grateful for. (For example, "I
am grateful that I am alive," "I am grateful that the sky was a
beautiful shade of blue," "I am grateful for the smiles of
children.")

Carry a small notebook in your purse. Just as you begin to
experience the symptoms of panic or stress, write down the
following: the situation you are in, the sensations you are
feeling in your body, the thoughts you are thinking now and the
thoughts you were thinking before experiencing the first
symptoms, your present feelings and what you were feeling before
the symptoms began. As you do this, remind yourself that what you
are experiencing does not define you - it is simply something
that is happening. You are not the symptom. This exercise can
help you, over time, to pinpoint the causes of your panic
attacks. It can also relieve the symptoms of panic attacks. (I
use this exercise to control my asthma. It comes from the
wonderful book Asthma Free in Twenty-One Days by Kathryn Shafer
and Fran Greenfield.)

Connect!

New research suggests that connecting with others relieves stress
and increases our happiness. When I first experienced my symptoms
of panic, I isolated myself. That was the worst thing I could do!
No matter how challenging your panic becomes, connect with
someone daily. Join a class or group in a shared area of interest
- such as gardening or crafting. Connecting with others will
lower your stress!

Good Sleep for Good Health
Copyright (c) 2009 Kevin Kielty
North Carolina Insurance
http://www.ncinsuranceplan.com



Most of us have busy, hectic lives. There is always a new task to
be added to the schedule until eventually something has to give
and for many of us that something is our sleep. We look at sleep
time as cutting into our productivity and think "it's more
important to get this done than it is to sleep". But that
attitude will ultimately catch up to us. Good sleep is necessary
for good mental and physical health and if we neglect it, we will
pay the price.

The Stages Of Sleep

There are 5 different stages of sleep and we need to move through
all of them each night if we want to feel our best. We start our
sleep in stage 1 and progress to stage 5 and then go back and
forth between 2 and 5 repeatedly during the night. Stages 4 and 5
are the deepest levels of sleep called REM or Rapid Eye Movement
sleep. It is during this stage that we dream the most and
important processes in the body take place.

Chronic lack of sleep can have adverse effects on our mental and
physical health in several ways. It can cause us to gain weight,
make us prone to insulin resistance and it can speed up the aging
process.

Weight Gain

Important activities take place in the body during sleep which
contribute to health and healing. During REM sleep injured
tissues are repaired by the production of growth hormones. These
hormones stimulate the production of protein in the muscle as
well as the breakdown of fat. This helps to control the
allocation of fat to muscle in the body. Constantly missing out
on the deepest levels of sleep can lower the amount of growth
hormones thereby causing the accumulation of more fat. Lack of
sleep can also lead to a lower level of leptin which is a blood
protein that helps to regulate appetite.

Insulin Resistance

Chronic lack of sleep can also affect how the body uses
carbohydrates and glucose. In individuals who are chronically low
on sleep, blood sugar levels rise to a higher level and return to
the normal state more slowly. Their bodies also secrete a smaller
amount of insulin. Studies have shown that individuals who
experience a chronic sleep deficit will usually develop insulin
resistance.

Sleep And Aging

Not getting enough sleep can also contribute to premature aging.
Lack of sleep causes the brain to produce less than the normal
amount of hormones, which is a condition found the in the
elderly. Getting enough sleep can help to turn back the clock.

Quantity Vs. Quality

When it comes to sleep quality is as important as quantity. You
need to have sufficient time in each of the stages of sleep, to
feel your best the next day. Not getting enough sleep can lead to
irritability, lack of clear thinking and lethargy the next day.
It can also lead to a weakening of the immune system and make you
more susceptible to sickness.

Different people require different amounts of sleep. Usually
adults need around eight hours per night while children require
approximately 10 hours and infants around 16 hours per night.

If you skimp on sleep you seriously risk both your physical and
mental health. If something must be cut back in your schedule,
make sure it's not sleep. You will look and feel better for it!

Working Safely With Solvents

Article Description:
====================

Solvents are commonly found in many workplaces. They are used so
often that workers forget that they can be very dangerous when
not handled appropriate. Loosely defined, a solvent is a
substance, usually a liquid, that is used to dissolve another
substance. Solvents can pose a number of health risks as a result
of skin contact with the solvents or from inhalation of vapors
from the solvent. Also, improperly handled or stored solvents can
present risks of fire and explosion.

Working Safely With Solvents

Solvents are commonly found in many workplaces. They are used so
often that workers forget that they can be very dangerous when
not handled appropriate.

Loosely defined, a solvent is a substance, usually a liquid, that
is used to dissolve another substance. Solvents can pose a number
of health risks as a result of skin contact with the solvents or
from inhalation of vapors from the solvent. Also, improperly
handled or stored solvents can present risks of fire and
explosion.

Health Effects

One of the most common health hazards associated with exposure to
solvents is dermatitis. Contact dermatitis can develop from a
single exposure or from multiple exposures. It can leave the skin
susceptible to a short-term infection or to a chronic condition.
Exposure can also result in sensitization to the solvent, which
is a delayed allergic reaction that often becomes more severe
with subsequent exposures (for this reason, it is important that
workers wear the appropriate protective equipment, such as
chemical protective gloves, each and every time they handle
solvents). In order to prevent dermatitis, workers handling
solvents need to wear chemical protective gloves such as neoprene
gloves or nitrile gloves (remember to always check glove
manufacturer information to verify chemical compatibility for
chemical protective gloves). Also, if there is a risk of splash,
coveralls or an apron and eye protection, such as goggles or
safety glasses with face shields, should be used.

Solvents can also present respiratory hazards as the result of
the inhalation of vapors. Depending on the type and concentration
of the solvent, exposure effects can range from mild respiratory
irritation to severe damage to body organs and systems. In
extreme cases, overexposure to solvent vapors can cause
respiratory failure and death. In order to prevent injury
resulting from solvents, respiratory protection should be worn.
To determine the correct respiratory protection (generally,
air-purifying respirators with the appropriate cartridges will be
required), check the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the
solvent. As with dermatitis, because of the possibility of
sensitization with some solvents, appropriate respiratory
protection should be worn each and every time a worker is exposed
to actionable respiratory levels of solvents. (Note: Prior to
requiring respiratory protection when using solvents, make sure
that you have instituted an appropriate respiratory protection
program, including fit testing, medical evaluation, and training
in the use of the types of respirator that will be used by the
worker.)

Handling And Storage

Because solvents are often petroleum- or alcohol-based, they can
pose a risk of fire and explosion. For this reason, it is
important to ensure that solvents are stored and handled
properly, including:

  * Read the labels and the material safety data sheets of the
solvents. They list the hazards, health effects, and safe
handling procedures as well as information on the flashpoint and
boiling point of the solvent (which help to determine the risks
for fire and explosion).

  * Take care when pouring solvents from one container to another
since fire or explosions can occur from static electricity
buildup. Utilize safety cans that incorporate grounding and spill
prevention features to help reduce the potential for accidents.

  * Clean up solvent spills promptly and thoroughly.

  * Prohibit welding, cutting, soldering, and other sources of
ignition in areas where solvents are used.

  * Store flammable solvents in well-ventilated areas constructed
of fire-resistant materials. For smaller quantities of solvents,
flammables cabinets are a good storage options (and in many
instances are required by local or state building codes).
Properly constructed flammable storage cabinets help to prevent
solvent spills and, when properly vented, build up of dangerous
vapors.

  * Ground and bond all tanks and equipment used for solvent
storage.

  * Install fire extinguishers in both work and storage areas. For
most solvents, ABC fire extinguishers or B fire extinguishers
should be available. Water-only fire extinguishers are not
appropriate for use on solvent-related fires as they may spread
the fire. (And remember that all workers who are expected to
utilize a fire extinguisher in the event of a fire must receive
appropriate instruction in the use of fire extinguisher!)

The 5 Steps To Clearing Up Razor Bumps
Copyright (c) 2009 Sean A. Jackson
Your Best Look Now
http://www.yourbestlooknow.com/



With summer quickly approaching, more people will be shedding
their winter clothes in favor of clothes that expose more skin.
What better time to start clearing up those skin problems than
now.

For black men and women, razor bumps is probably one the most
unsightly skin problems that exist. Razor bumps can be
embarrassing in a job interview by drawing attention to your skin
rather than your credentials.

Also, women who suffer from razor bumps are often embarrassed by
wearing bathing suits in public.

It is estimated that 60% of the black men in America suffer from
razor bumps. Yet, despite the prevalence of this skin condition,
it is easily treatable.

Here are five simple steps that will help clear up your razor
bumps and prepare your skin for the summer:

Step 1 - Read The Labels Of What You Are Putting On Your Skin

Most men who shave with a razor and women as well, use shaving
foams that contain some form of alcohol. Products that contain
alcohol will dry out your skin. Dry skin is the main culprit of
causing black people to get razor bumps. Consider using oil based
shaving oils or creams.

Step 2 - Wash The Area You Are Planning To Shave

Resist the urge to immediately shave your face, legs, or pubic
area without first washing the area. You never know what could be
on your skin after being at work all day or sleeping on your bed
all night. Use a gentle cleaner so as not to dry out your skin,
but rinse away any bacteria or fungus.

Step 3 - Learn How To Shave The Right Way

When using a razor, use cold water to rinse in between strokes.
Hot water will warp your blade which can bump up your skin faster
than you can say ouch! Men should shave with the grain of the
hairs and not against the grain. Since the neck hair grows in a
different direction, change direction of the strokes when you
shave your neck.

Step 4 - Skip The After Shave

If you were James Bond or Magnum P.I., I would recommend using
the alcohol based after shave products. However , if your skin is
more like Denzel Washington or Sidney Poitier, you will need to
play to it’s strengths. I recommend using a daily moisturizer
that will also prevent break outs and is alcohol free.

Step 5 - Stop Plucking Out Those Ingrown Hair

Plucking out ingrown hairs will cause your skin to bruise and
look even worse. As your skin heals, the ingrown hairs will
become exposed. This will allow you to gently remove the tip that
has poked back into your skin, thus healing the razor bumps.

It will take time to heal your skin. However, if you use the
above steps you will begin to treat your skin better and with
time your skin will look great for any season!

Disposable Particulate Respirators
Copyright (c) 2009 Rathi Niyogi
CriticalTool, Inc.
http://www.criticaltool.com/



Disposable particulate respirators come in a variety styles and
are meant to protect workers from nonhazardous contaminants in
the workplace. These types of respirators are one category of
air-purifying respirator.

The filtering material in the disposable respirator can be made
of cloth or paper. This filtering material cleans the air as the
wearer breathes. Some disposable particulate respirators (dust
masks) are used to control nuisance contaminants such as dust,
nonhazardous fibers, animal dander, and pollen. Other disposable
respirators can have added features for use with aerosols, mists,
fumes, and dusts. Disposable particulate respirators are not mean
for use where hazardous chemicals are present and the chemical
needs to be filtered from the air (air-purifying respirators that
utilize chemical-specific filter cartridges would be used in an
instance such as this).

While disposable respirators are convenient, there are
limitations, and workers need to be made aware of these
limitations and the guidelines for wearing disposable respirators
in order to wear them safely.

Disposable respirator used in the workplace should be certified
by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH). Disposable respirators should be matched to their
intended use. The following table summarizes the various types of
disposable particulate respirators:

Type: Description

N95: The N95 disposable respirator filters at least 95% of
airborne particles. It is not resistant to oil.

N99: N99 respirators filter out at least 99% of airborne
particles. It is not resistant to oil.

N100: This disposable respirator filters at least 99.97% of
airborne particles. It is not resistant to oil.

R95: The NR95 disposable respirator filters at least 95% of
airborne particles. It is somewhat resistant to oil.

R99: R99 respirators filter out at least 99% of airborne
particles. It is somewhat resistant to oil.

R100: This disposable respirator filters at least 99.97% of
airborne particles. It is somewhat resistant to oil.

P95: The P95 disposable respirator filters at least 95% of
airborne particles. It is strongly resistant to oil.

P99: P99 respirators filter out at least 99% of airborne
particles. It is strongly resistant to oil.

P100: This disposable respirator filters at least 99.97% of
airborne particles. It is strongly resistant to oil.

(Note: There are currently no NIOSH-approved R99, R100, or P99
disposable particulate respirators.)

"Dust masks," like those often found at hardware stores, that
do not carry one of the ratings listed in the table above are far
less effective and should not be used where respirators are
needed for worker protection in fulfillment of regulatory
requirements.

Fit Testing

Disposable particulate respirators are not excluded from OSHA
requirements for fit testing.

Medical Evaluation

If respirator use is required in the workplace and disposable
respirators are part of that requirement, you must have your
workers medically evaluated in order to ensure that they can wear
the respirator safely.

When To Replace

Disposable particulate respirators become more efficient as
particles are trapped in the filter media. However, like all
filters, they have a limit. Respirators should be replaced when
breathing while using the respirator becomes difficult.

When Respirator Use Is Not Required

Sometimes, workers may want to wear respirators in the workplace
even though they are not required. Most often, the type of
respirator worn in a voluntary situation is a disposable
particulate respirator. Regardless of whether the voluntarily
worn respirator is a disposable respirator or some other type of
air-purifying respirator, employers still have some obligations
under OSHA regulations - albeit fewer than when respiratory
protection is mandatory.

In order for workers to wear respirators on a voluntary basis,
you must determine that wearing a respirator will not in itself
create a hazard. If you determine that voluntary respirator use
is permissible, you must provide the respirator users with the
information contained in Appendix D of 29 CFR 1910.134. Also,
according to OSHA, you must, "implement those elements of the
written respiratory protection program necessary to ensure that
any employee using a respirator voluntarily is medically able to
use that respirator, and that the respirator is cleaned, stored,
and maintained so its use does not present a health hazard to the
user." However, OSHA further states that you are not required
"to include in a written respiratory program those employees
whose only use of respirators involves the voluntary use of
filtering facepieces (dust masks)."

CPAP Masks: Solving 3 Common Problems
Copyright (c) 2009 Chris Vasta
The CPAP Shop
http://www.thecpapshop.com



For some people, just the thought of having to secure a plastic
mask to their face is unpleasant.   Sleep is a precious commodity
to all. But it is particularly precious to the people suffering
from sleep apnea. The idea of sleep which many of us take for
granted now becomes a monumental undertaking.  New and improved
CPAP machines are built to be exceptionally quiet and compact.
However, the CPAP mask remains the number one complaint with CPAP
equipment users.  Speaking with many clients over the years, we
have identified the three most common complaints and offer
solutions to help get the rest you need and enhance your
lifestyle.

Itchy And Dry Nose/Mouth

After numerous tries on various masks CPAP masks
(http://www.thecpapshop.com/cpap-nasal-masks.html), you have
finally found a comfortable cpap mask which fits all the
intricacies of your face.  This, as most CPAP users are acutely
aware, is no small feat. Even though your mask fits comfortably
on your face, you may still be hindered by a problem common to
many users - continual dry mouth and/or stuffy nose.  A simple
and cost effective solution to this issue is the addition of a
heated humidifier to your CPAP machine.  Using a heated
humidifier will help decrease nasal congestion and stuffiness
which results in a more comfortable CPAP experience and a more
rested feeling when you wake up.

Newer style CPAP machines often come with an integrated heated
humidifier.  These integrated units are still quite small and
considered very travel friendly.  Even older CPAP machines can
make use of a universal stand-alone heated humidifier such as the
Velocity Heated Humidifier. Additionally, an improperly sealed
CPAP mask can also produce a dry feeling in the nose and throat.
It is vital to inspect your CPAP mask continuously to make sure
that the silicone or gel cushion has not broken down and is still
providing an effective seal.  Generally, these cushions should be
replaced within 3 to 6 months of constant use to maintain
efficacy.

Facial Marks And Nose Sores

For the most effective results, CPAP users need to ensure the
mask has an effective and comfortable seal around the nose or the
nose and mouth.  We have spoken to hundreds of patients and found
that CPAP users commonly mention facial marks and nose sores are
an irritant.  This issue is generally caused by over-tightening
of the mask straps.  CPAP masks are designed to produce an
effective seal without applying significant amounts of pressure
to the face.  In fact, if you are over-tightening your mask, it
is probably time for a new cushion or complete mask.
Nevertheless, a simple but effective solution is to put the mask
on while in bed.

While you are lying in bed, place the mask on your face and
connect the headgear so the mask is snug but not tight.  A CPAP
mask is designed to have an evenly distributed seal.  By placing
the mask on while lying down, it allows for a proper fit during
sleeping.  Make sure that your mask fits snuggly but not to lose
as this will cause air to escape.  If there is too much tension
toward the top of the mask, it can cause sores at the bridge of
the nose.

While finding a comfortable CPAP mask is ideal, having an
appropriately sized mask is crucial to effective CPAP treatment.
Many of the new style masks have implemented gel or an inflatable
type cushions that compensate for movements in any direction.
These types of masks allow for an improved seal without needing
to over-tighten the mask straps.  The Respironics Comfort Gel
nasal mask and the Resmed Mirage Activa LT are two excellent
examples of this technology. Furthermore, masks such as the
Resmed Mirage Micro LT have an adjustable forehead assembly that
can be easily modified to suit each user's profile.

Cpap Pressure Tolerance

Most first-time users experience the unpleasant feeling of CPAP
air pressure immediately.  The pressure is delivered from the
CPAP machine, through a tube and into the CPAP mask generally at
a fixed rate.  This sensation, which can be uncomfortable to new
users, will be alleviated by using the ramp feature on your CPAP
machine.  The ramp feature allows the CPAP pressure to gradually
increase over a period of time.  For example, if your CPAP
pressure is 13cm/H20, you may find it more relaxing to have the
CPAP pressure start at 4cm/H20 and then "ramp up" over 20
minutes, at which time the CPAP machine will reach its prescribed
setting.   This is usually accomplished while you are drifting
off to sleep so it is less intrusive. Most of the high-end CPAP
machines (auto adjusting) have a ramp feature that is automatic
and does not require manual adjustments.   By using this feature
properly, the CPAP user should become accustomed to the
prescribed pressure and have less trouble securing your CPAP
mask.   If problems continue, please consult with your sleep
specialist.

Conclusion

These three commonly encountered CPAP issues are all solvable.
Understanding the solutions will ensure better compliance,
provide CPAP users with a more effective treatment and aid you
in achieving improved sleep.  This, in turn, will positively
affect quality of life and reduce the negative issues associated
with CPAP.

Cancer Risks and Health
Copyright (c) 2009 Kevin Kielty
North Carolina Insurance
http://www.ncinsuranceplan.com



Cancer is the second major cause of death in the United States.
More than half a million of us to die of cancer every year. Most
cancers occur in people age 55 and over. The best defense for
many types of cancer is early detection therefore, it is
important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, have regular checkups
with your doctor and report any unusual symptoms.

Cancer is the result of changes in the genes that control cell
growth. In a healthy cell, the genes will tell it when to stop
reproducing, to mend any damage or to destroy itself if the
damage cannot be repaired. However, a damaged cell will override
these messages and continue to reproduce more damaged cells.

While we cannot control all of our risks for cancer, there are
some things we can do that will help to lower our chances of
getting some of the more common types of cancer.

Skin Cancer

The most common type of cancer is skin cancer and the two most
common types of skin cancer are squamous cell cancer and basal
cell cancer. Squamous cell cancer can spread throughout the body
while basal cell cancer usually does not. Both types of skin
cancer typically start on the parts of the body that are mostly
exposed to the sun such as the face, hands or arms.

Risk factors for developing skin cancer include being fair
skinned, a history of spending great amounts of time in the sun,
getting many sunburns as a child, and having light-colored hair
and green or blue eyes.

Sun protection is the primary way to avoid skin cancer. Always
use plenty of sunscreen and reapply it every two hours and after
sweating or swimming. Also avoid tanning beds and sun exposure
between the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer death in the United
States. Every year or it kills more people than any other type of
cancer. When lung cancer begins, there may be no symptoms at all.
It can take years for the cancer to progress before any problems
are noticed.

Risk factors for developing lung cancer include smoking and being
exposed to secondhand smoke, family history and exposure to radon
gas.

The best way to prevent lung cancer is to either stop smoking,
avoid secondhand smoke and check the radon levels in your house.

Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is the second major cause of cancer death in the
United States. A major risk factor in developing colon cancer is
family history. If there are many people in your family who have
developed colon cancer you will probably require regular
colonoscopies. The risk of developing colon cancer increases with
age. Most people who are diagnosed are over age 50. Other risk
factors include a diet that is high in fat and low in fiber,
folic acid and calcium.

The primary way to prevent colon cancer is a colonoscopy. If you
do not have a family history of colon cancer your doctor may
recommend a colonoscopy when you turn 50. If there is a strong
family history of colon cancer, your doctor may recommend one
sooner.

Family history and environmental factors effects whether or not a
person will develop cancer. Although we cannot control the genes
that we inherit, it is important to know what environmental
factors affect our cancer risks and take steps to change those
things so that we can live healthy and cancer-free lives.

A Checklist Of Alternative Cancer Treatments and Cancer Therapies
Copyright (c) 2009 Eliot Beard
Southern Fox Cancer Information
http://www.southernfox.com/



Cancer, the life threatening disease is curable if detected at an
early stage. It is usually treated by three methods which include
chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgical treatment or a
combination of the above said treatments.

Given the ugly side effects that are so common with chemotherapy
and radiation treatments, a lot of medical consumers have began
to explore alternative cancer treatments. Millions of people
around the world have turned to the exploration of alternative
cancer treatments these days. While not always a guarantee of
cancer recovery, alternative treatments often offer the hope that
the medical community is unable to offer.

Alternative cancer therapies can also be used in adjunct with the
traditional cancer therapies. There are different therapies
available in cancer treatment such as biological and
pharmacological therapies, immune therapies, herbal therapies,
nutritional therapies and metabolic therapies.

The following three alternative cancer treatments are listed
among the mostly used treatments:

  * ACID/ALKALINE BALANCE: In this method the acid/alkaline
balance of the body is corrected by supplying proper
mineralization by using certain acid neutralizing minerals like
calcium and magnesium. Other minerals like potassium, rubidium
and cesium are also used. It has been suggested that cancer cells
die off when they subjected to high PH levels. Therefore, the
theory is that when these elements are taken, they will
alkalinize and kill the cancer cells.

  * ADJUNCTIVE TREATMENTS: These are treatments that are used in
conjunction with other cancer treatments. The various types of
adjunctive treatments include detoxification, vitamin and
supplements, water therapy and nutrition balancing.
DETOXIFICATION means the removal of toxins from the body. This is
considered to be a very important part of the treatment process.
Herbal, homeopathic, and nutritional treatments can be used as
method of detoxification. But, the simplest way to get rid of
toxins in the body is to increase the amount of water intake.

  * The ELECTRONIC method: ELECTROTHERAPY was first introduced in
Europe to combat cancer tumors. This method is most often used in
adjunct with other cancer therapies. As an extension of this
treatment method, skin cancers are treated by employing galvanic
electrical stimulation. With the help of local anesthesia, a
positively charged platinum, gold or silver needle is introduced
into the tumor cells and the negatively charged needle is kept
around the tumors. Depending on the tumor cells, 6- to 15-volts
voltages are used to combat the cancerous tumor. Sometimes, small
amount of chemotherapy agents are used in conjunction with the
electrotherapy treatments. The stated reason for the
effectiveness of this type of treatment is the same as with the
acid / alkaline balance treatment - the PH change destroys the
tumor cells.

Other treatments that are finding some interest include the
following:

  * MAGNETIC RESONANCE OR BIO-RESONANCE: The bio-resonance methods
have been used in Europe for about 23 years, but it is a process
that has not yet been widely accepted outside of Europe.

  * RADIOWAVES: It has been suggested that radio waves with
certain frequencies can destroy cancer cells, without disturbing
the adjacent normal cells. If this treatment turns out to be
effective, then chemotherapy and radiation will become much less
attractive, in that both destroy the cancer cells AND other
nearby cells.

  * RIFE MACHINES: These machines are claimed to destroy living
pathogens, bacteria and cancer cells, which are not transmitting
specific electronic signals.

  * Various other alternative cancer treatments are available
which include DIET and FOOD THERAPIES. There are different types
of diets advised like flax seed oil diet, hallelujah acres diet
and a sugar free diet. Herbal extracts or plant products like
Artemisia, radium weed, red clover, and saw palmetto are
frequently mentioned in connection with the treatment of cancer.

  * IMMUNOTHERAPIES are also used - they are frequently referred
to as immune system boosters. Different immune system boosters
include: agaricus mushrooms, aloe vera, carnivore, interferon,
interleukin-2, and shark liver oil.

  * OXYGEN and OZONE TREATMENTS include usage of hydrogen
peroxide, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and ozone therapy.

  * HONORABLE MENTIONS: Wheat grass vaccines, zappers and
anti-parasitic herbals are also used as methods to treat cancer.
These treatments are most often used in conjunction with
traditional cancer treatments.

Above all, you need to educate yourself about the possible
alternatives. You should not trust that your doctors will tell
you about some or most of these treatments, so you need to learn
for yourself whether these cancer treatments could possibly offer
you more hope for surviving cancer.

And finally, you must keep in mind that it is generally against
the law in the United States for sellers of supplements or
medical services "to offer a cure". This is the reason why most
of these alternative cancer treatments will only be described as
"treatments" or "therapies". It is true that you might see a
personal testimonial from someone on the Internet about how they
were "cured" of cancer, but companies cannot legally offer
anecdotal information about how their products or services were
used to "cure cancer". So, for the doctors and lawyers in my
audience... Here is what you are looking to see:

DISCLAIMER: This Article must always be published with a
disclaimer such as... "This article is for general information
purposes only. Before under taking any exercise or treatment
program always first check first with your doctor and health
professionals."




---------------------------------------------------------------------
Eliot Beard never thought much about cancer, until his dad was
diagnosed with terminal cancer, and given only a couple months
to live. Contrary to his dad, Eliot has never really trusted
the medical establishment and doctors - he sees medicine as an
industry that sells potions and treatments, rather than focusing
on cures. Eliot's dad finally came around to his way of thinking,
and so far, "two months to live" has turned into six months of
life. Learn more about alternative cancer treatments at:

How to Have Healthy Skin As You Age
Copyright (c) 2009 Kevin Kielty
North Carolina Insurance
http://www.ncinsuranceplan.com



As we get older, two things affect the appearance of our skin.
One is our genetics and the other is the environment. The aging
of our skin begins in our 20's when the body slows the
production of new skin cells and produces less collagen and
elastin, which are the proteins that give skin its elasticity.
Evidence of these changes does not show u and and and and and and
and and p right away but later in life we start to see tiny
lines, and our skin begins to thin and become more dry. After age
50, many of us will begin to see "age spots", or "liver
spots". These are the large brown, freckle-like spots that
appear on the hands or arms.

Sun Protection

The number one environmental cause of aging skin is exposure to
sunlight. The sun's ultraviolet rays are harmful to the skin.
Frequent sunbathing and long-term exposure to sunlight actually
causes skin damage. The results are dry skin, wrinkles, and in
some cases, skin cancer.

Avoid long periods of sun exposure if possible but if you know
you are going to have to be outside for a long time, wear
clothing that protects your skin from potential sun damage. Wear
shirts with long sleeves, slacks, and sun hats with a brim wide
enough to protect your face. Limit your time outside during the
hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. because this is the time when the suns
rays are the most damaging.

Choose a sunscreen that has a sun protection factor or SPF of 15
or higher, and apply it 20 minutes before being exposed to the
sun. Remember to reapply it after getting out of the pool or
after doing any exercise that caused you to perspire.

Skin Care

A daily cleansing and moisturizing regime is important for skin
care. Avoid long hot baths or showers as they can dry out your
skin. Use a mild soap that does not excessively dry your skin.
Perfumes or dies, can irritate sensitive skin, so avoid these
when choosing your cleanser. Always remove makeup completely and
do not go to bed with makeup on. Do not pull the skin when drying
your face, just gently pat your skin dry.

Moisturize after cleaning your skin. Select a moisturizer with an
SPF of at least 15 to provide extra sun protection. Apply a
moisturizer before your skin is completely dry to help lock in
extra moisture. Choose a lotion that is free of perfumes or dies
to avoid irritating your skin.

Nutrition

Choose foods that will contribute to healthy skin. Vitamins A and
B can contribute to healthy looking hair, skin and nails.
Vitamins C and E can help protect the body from the damage of
free radicals and help to protect skin from the damaging effects
of the sun. The best way to ensure that you are getting all of
the necessary nutrients for healthy skin is to eat a variety of
foods from the USDA food pyramid.

While we cannot change the genetic aspects of normal aging, there
