Avoid using loud alarm clocks

2009-09-09T21:46:00.000-07:00

It is very stressful on the body to be awoken suddenly. If you are regularly getting enough sleep, they should be unnecessary. I gave up my alarm clock years ago and now use a sun alarm clock. The Sun Alarm™ SA-2002 provides an ideal way to wake up each morning if you can't wake up with the REAL sun.Combining the features of a traditional alarm clock (digital display, AM/FM radio, beeper, snooze button, etc) with a special built-in light that gradually increases in intensity, this amazing clock simulates a natural sunrise. It also includes a sunset feature where the light fades to darkness over time - ideal for anyone who has trouble falling asleep.

Some addition to your daily bath

2009-09-09T05:00:00.000-07:00

To keep healthy, one has to take a nice bath daily. To cleanse and beautify whole body at one time, bathing is the only regime, which is followed all over the world.
Bath can be taken once or twice daily according to the climatic conditions of the place, skin type and the kind of work person is doing. Bathing includes cleansing of all parts of body like cleaning hair, eyes, nose, hand legs and all. Our skin has pores as its vital part. Pores accumulate dirt, grease and sweat and these pores get clogged. To remove all these, a daily bath routine is must. Otherwise our skin will not be able to breathe properly and will not excrete the waste of body. It will result in all sorts of diseases and allergies.

According to basics of Bath, one must rinse body with clean water followed by some soap or bath salt to degrease the body and to remove dirt. Now scrub the body properly, which should not be harsh. Now wash off all the soap and dirt. Wipe out water by a soft towel to have refreshing you.

Good Bath Tips
- For refreshing bath, boil lemon peels and orange peels with water and let it cool and pour it in bathing water.
- To get rid of skin infections, boil some neem leaves in water and mix it with your bathing water.
- You can apply sandalwood powder paste to you body and rinse it off after some times while bathing. This relieves the body from effects of summer heat.
- To have a nice fragrance from body, add some rose petals to the bathing water.

Latest news on Blood types..Strange,But True

2009-08-11T23:21:00.000-07:00

Human blood is grouped into four types: A, B, AB, and O.Each blood type is also grouped by its Rhesus factor, or Rh factor. Blood is either Rh positive (Rh+) or Rh negative (Rh-). Type O– blood is considered the “universal donor” because it can be donated to people of any blood type. Type AB+ blood is considered the “universal recipient” because people with this type can receive any blood type.

Really you dont know?

-Blood type is inherited, just like eye color.
-Certain blood types are more common in certain countries. In China, over 99% of the population has Rh+ blood.
-Different kinds of animals have different kinds of blood. Dogs have 4 blood types; cats have 11; cows have about 800.
-Some people think blood type tells about personality. Legend has it that Type A is calm and trustworthy; Type B is creative and excitable; Type AB is thoughtful and emotional; and Type O is a confident leader.
-In Japan, the idea of blood type as personality type is so popular that Japanese ask “What's your blood type?” about as often as Americans ask “What's your sign?”

Does Facebook Usage Contribute To Jealousy In Relationships?

2009-08-10T00:01:00.000-07:00

The more time college students spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to feel jealous toward their romantic partners, leading to more time on Facebook searching for additional information that will further fuel their jealousy, in an escalating cycle that may become addictive, according to a study reported in CyberPsychology & Behavior.

Amy Muise, MSc, Emily Christofides, MSc, and Serge Desmarais, PhD, from the University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada), surveyed young adults involved in romantic relationships and found that those who spent time on social networking sites such as Facebook may be exposed to information about their partners that makes them jealous, leading them to spend more time involved in online surveillance and to uncover even more jealousy-provoking information.

"This research on university age individuals is an excellent starting point to begin asking additional questions on how this new forum might be impacting the dynamics of adult relationships and other social processes," says Professor Dr. Brenda K. Wiederhold, Editor-in-Chief of CyberPsychology & Behavior.

Fish Oils help in many diseases

2009-07-30T04:15:00.000-07:00

More recent research has established that fish oils play an important role in the prevention of atherosclerosis, heart attack, depression, and cancer. Fish oils prevent and may help to ameliorate or reverse atherosclerosis, angina, heart attack, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.

Fish oils help maintain the elasticity of artery walls, prevent blood clotting, reduce blood pressure, stabilize heart rhythm and help combat inflammation.
There is also considerable evidence that fish oil consumption can reduce the risk of breast and prostate cancer and help slow their progression.Low quality oils should be avoided as they are unstable and may contain significant amounts of mercury, pesticides, and undesirable oxidation products.

Blast Injuries,A big Challenge

2009-07-29T06:24:00.000-07:00

Health-care providers are increasingly faced with the possibility of needing to care for people injured in explosions, but can often, however, feel undertrained for the unique aspects of the patient's presentation and management.

Although most blast-related injuries (eg, fragmentation injuries from improvised explosive devices and standard military explosives) can be managed in a similar manner to typical penetrating or blunt traumatic injuries, injuries caused by the blast pressure wave itself cannot. The blast pressure wave exerts forces mainly at air—tissue interfaces within the body, and the pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and auditory systems are at greatest risk.

Arterial air emboli arising from severe pulmonary injury can cause ischaemic complications—especially in the brain, heart, and intestinal tract. Attributable, in part, to the scene chaos that undoubtedly exists, poor triage and missed diagnosis of blast injuries are substantial concerns because injuries can be subtle or their presentation can be delayed. Management of these injuries can be a challenge, compounded by potentially conflicting treatment goals.

2009/2010 Bariatric Surgery Excellence Award

2009-07-29T04:59:00.000-07:00

HealthGrades recognized 88 hospitals as 2009/2010 Bariatric Surgery Five-Star recipients.This places them within the top 15% of all hospitals nationwide for bariatric surgery.In The HealthGrades Fourth Annual Bariatric Surgery Trends in American Hospitals Study, HealthGrades evaluated the quality of bariatric surgery in hospitals across 19 states that provide information on all patients.

Due to the growing number of obese Americans and the explosion of bariatric surgery programs in the U.S., patients have many choices when it comes to selecting a program. This study has found a wide variation in the quality and outcomes of these programs. Because bariatric surgery is an elective procedure, patients have the time to thoroughly investigate their surgeon and hospital before making a decision on where to have the surgery performed.

As other studies have found, high bariatric surgery volumes correlated with better inhospital outcomes. In this study, higher-volume programs, those with greater than 375 cases over three years, had a 32% lower risk of patient complications than lower volume programs, those with less than 75 cases over three years

Woman can put herself and family in heart diseases

2009-07-28T05:34:00.000-07:00

Researchers found that men whose wives come home upset with work outside the home have an increased risk of developing heart disease. The study included 1,769 men and 1,913 women between ages 18 and 77. The researchers tracked the health of the participants for 10 years to determine if they developed heart disease or died.
"Married men were heavier, older, and had higher blood pressure and a less favorable lipid profile compared to unmarried men".

Two types of marital strain were found

Men who reported that their wives' work was disruptive to their home life because their wives came home upset with work were more than two times more likely to develop heart disease. Women who reported usually or always keeping their feelings to themselves when in conflict with their husbands, known as self-silencing, had more than four times the risk of dying from any cause compared to women who always show their feelings.

Really,Your baby doesnot fall asleep in arms

2009-07-22T23:59:00.000-07:00

You really can't expect your newborn baby to follow a schedule, but you can provide such enviornment for him to become a better sleeper at night. You can do this by keeping baby around other people. Talk to him, and play with him.

When it is time for bed, many parents want to breastfeed a baby to help him/her fall asleep. However, be sure that the baby does not fall asleep in your arms.When the baby briefly awakens during a sleep cycle, he/she may not be able to go back to sleep on his own. Most experts recommend allowing a baby to become sleepy in your arms, then placing him/her in the bed while still awake. This way the baby learns how to go to sleep on his own.

If you want your baby to be able to fall asleep without your help, it is essential that you sometimes let your newborn baby suck until he is sleepy, but not totally asleep. When you can, remove the breast, bottle, or pacifier from his mouth and let him finish falling asleep without something in his mouth. When you do this, your baby may resist and fuss to regain the nipple. It's perfectly okay to give him back the breast, bottle, or pacifier and start over a few minutes later. If you do this often enough, he will eventually learn how to fall asleep without sucking.

Playing soft music while your baby is getting sleepy is also a good way to help establish a bedtime routine.

How Soda Effects Your Body

2009-05-27T03:37:00.000-07:00

Soda is one of the main reasons, nutritionally speaking, why many people suffer health problems. Aside from the negative effects of the soda itself, drinking a lot of soda is likely to leave you with little appetite for vegetables, protein and other food that your body needs.

First of all, just one can of Coke contains 10 teaspoons of sugar. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake (which is more than double my recommended daily allowance to begin with). Within 20 minutes of drinking that soda, your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat.
Within 40 minutes, your blood pressure rises due to your body having absorbed all the caffeine, and then your livers dumps even more sugar into your bloodstream.

After about one hour, you’ll start to have a sugar crash, which oftentimes leads you into a vicious cycle of consuming more stimulants, followed by crashes, throughout your day.
It is also a proven fact that sugar increases your insulin levels, which can lead to not only weight gain, but also high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, premature aging and many more negative side effects.

If you are still drinking soda, stopping the habit is an easy way to improve your health.
