11 USEFUL TIPS ON HOW TO 

FIGHT CANCER 

by 


Follow Us: 

There are different types of cancer 

and also many ways to fight against it. 

Learn some useful tips to stay healthy 

and prevent cancer in this article. 

It is said that there are millions 

of cancerous cells growing 

within everyone every day, 

but our immune system attacks 

and destroys them. But 

some cancers will charge through even the 

strongest immune system, and when the 

immune system is compromised, cancer 

takes off. Read this article to find out how 

you can prevent and battle cancer as efficiently 

as possible. 


Stress can affect you both emotionally and physically. Learn to manage your emotions and effectively deal with 

stress with these tips in this article.

1 

EDUCATE YOURSELF 

ABOUT CANCER 

Knowing your enemy’s weakness and how 

it attacks will surely put you in a good position 

to fight. Be sure you understand how 

cancer works, what the symptoms are and 

how to combat it. Familiarity with these indicators 

and symptoms will help you have 

a better understanding of if and when you 

might be at risk. 

2 

LISTEN TO WHAT 

YOUR BODY TELLS YOU 

When you have cancer, you should listen 

to your body. Take a generous break if you 

feel tired. When you feel out of energy, try 

eating a healthier diet. Pay attention to how 

you feel, and take good care of yourself. 

3 

GET REGULAR MEDICAL EXAMS 

While some screenings reveal if cancer 

is already there, others help to prevent 

cancer. Procrastination can lead to missing 

screenings all together, so it’s best to 

set up a routine or schedule to receive regular 

exams and stick to it! Regular screenings 

leads to early detection which is much 

easier for medication. 


9

4 

WATCH YOUR DIET AND KEEP MOVING 

Your diet may impact your body’s ability to fight cancer. For example, tomatoes protect 

men against prostate cancer. There is research to support this as a fact. You will feel 

better, look better, and have a better chance of avoiding cancer if you pay attention to your 

diet and get adequate exercise. Follow a healthy diet routine, like nourishing yourself with 

vegetables and fruits, as well as keeping hydrated with water, while you exercise for at least 

half an hour every day may reduce your chances of obtaining cancer. 

5 

PROTECT YOUR 

SKIN FROM THE SUN 

Melanoma, or skin cancer, is one very common 

and deadly form of cancer. Protect 

your skin by applying sunscreen and wearing 

a hat. Using a good sunscreen, and curtailing 

your hours in direct sunlight, will 

go a long way to preventing skin cancer. 

Staying away from things that cause cancer 

can be a good way to fight getting it. 

If you plan to be outdoors on a sunny day, 

you should ensure that you are protected 

by sunblock. The sun is the leading cause 

of melanoma, and it can lead to fatalities 

if untreated. Use a waterproof sunscreen 

with an SPF of 30 or greater. Fair-skinned 

individuals should be particularly careful, 

since they are more prone to sunburn. 

6 

ALWAYS WASH YOUR PRODUCE 

Be cautious and understand that 

some of the vegetables and fruits that you 

buy could be contaminated. To prevent 

bugs, bacteria and fungus, farmers usually 

spray the crops with pesticides. Wash your 

produce in warm water with dish soap, or 

consider buying only organic foods. 


7 

KNOW THE EARLY SIGNS 

In order to catch colon cancer in its 

early stages, know the signs and symptoms. 

Symptoms such as sudden or rapid weight 

loss, bloody stool, thin stools and abdominal 

cramping may point to colon cancer. Go to a 

doctor if you notice any of these symptoms. 

8 

LET PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU KNOW 

You need to keep your friends and 

family fully informed of your condition. 

A strong support system is important at 

this time, so do not try to be tough and 

end up feeling alone and isolated. Talking 

honestly about what is going on will help 

strengthen the connections between you 

and those you love. 

9 

DEVELOP STRONG 

PERSONAL BONDS 

You’ll have to develop an intimate relationship 

of sorts with people you’d rather not 

get to know: medical personnel who are 

helping treat your cancer. Some of these 

friends will include your nurses, doctors or 

other caregivers who will help you in your 

recovery. Nobody has ever won a cancer 

battle on their own, and there’s no reason 

to stress yourself out trying. Let the people 

who can help you do their jobs. 


11

DO YOUR PART 

Take an active part in your cancer 

treatments, instead of just being a passive 

receptacle. Don’t just check out and 

go with the flow. Doing this won’t help you 

make a recovery. 

CARE AND SHOW 

POSITIVE SUPPORT 

If you are a relative of someone afflicted 

with cancer, then it is critical that 

you not treat them any differently than 

before or as you would anyone else. 

Cancer patients need to know that you 

care, and feel positive vibes from you 

for the sake of their recovery. Negative 

vibes can make them feel bad or guilty. 

Being a cancer patient forces you to accept 

a number of truths right up front. 

Strengthening your resolve now will help 

you in your battles later. There are different 

types of cancer and many, many different 

tips you can use to fight against 

it. Reading this article was the perfect 

first step.

some hair care tips that will help you 

to finally own that beautiful hair.

In the world of fitness, learning about how to work out properly is an important factor. This article will teach you 

how to get more fit the right way.

1 

DO NOT DO PONYTAILS 

ON THE SAME SPOT 

If you like to style your hair in a ponytail, 

avoid placing the ponytail in the same spot 

on your head every time. Even using soft, 

fabric-covered scrunchies, can cause repeated 

stress to that area, which will result in 

eventual breakage. Even if your job requires 

a specific hair style, you can change it up in 

your off hours to give your hair time to heal. 

2 

BRUSHING WET HAIR IS A NO-NO 

Avoid brushing your hair when it is 

wet. Wet hair is softer and more prone 

to breaking. To minimize damage, either 

brush your hair before you shower, or wait 

until after it has had time to dry before 

combing it out. 


17

3 

REFRAIN FROM 

CONDITIONING TREATMENTS 

Conditioning treatments are not necessary 

for thin or fine hair. They will only wear 

down your hair making it look finer and 

thinner. Lighter conditioners, delivered in 

a spray or mousse are the best to give your 

hair good volume without weighing it down 

or causing a limp, greasy look. 

4 

STOP USING HEATED 

STYLING APPLIANCES 

If you are trying to restore and strengthen 

your hair, avoid using heated styling 

appliances. Over time, curling irons, flatirons 

and blow dryers can cause damage 

that leads to frizz and breakage. When you 

dry your hair, don’t rely too much on a 

blow-dryer. Styling with heat can really damage 

your hair and leave it frizzy and unruly. 

Don’t go crazy with the heat. Let your hair 

rest every so often. Keep your hair up in 

a towel as long as you can, to absorb the 

maximum amount of moisture. This lets 

your hair naturally dry, and prevents too 

much frizz. 

5 

USE A CLARIFYING SHAMPOO 

If you have dull hair, you should try 

a clarifying shampoo. Hair that appears 

really dull can be caused by lots of different 

hair products that build up gradually. 

Switch out your regular shampoo with a 

clarifying product every few shampoos to 

resolve product build-up issues. 


6 

AVOID HAIR PRODUCTS 

WITH ALCOHOL 

Do not use hair care products that contain 

alcohol in them, as they will dry out your 

hair. Alcohol strips the moisture from your 

hair and is very damaging to your hair’s 

health. In order to stick to hair care products 

that enhance your hair’s health, read 

their labels thoroughly before buying or 

trying them. 

7 

COVER UP DURING COLD WEATHER 

Try to avoid exposing your skin, 

scalp and hair to the drying effects of cold 

weather. Multiple things can happen in 

cold weather. Your hair can dry out or face 

a serious reduction in oils and nutrients. If 

you will be in the cold for an extended period, 

wear a hat over your hair. 

8 

CONSIDER TEXTURED 

HAIR STYLING 

Think about texture when considering a hairstyle. 

Textured hair often takes less time to 

style. A perm can provide great texture, but 

specific styles and cuts can have the same 

effect. Your hair will be fuller in body and 

may offer various options for styling. 


19

9 

TAKE A COLD SHOWER 

FOR DRY HAIR 

Take a cooler shower if your hair seems to 

be too dry. Hot water is drying to the hair 

and scalp. Use warm water; it is a lot more 

beneficial for your body. If you want to really 

turn up the shine in your hair, use a 

quick blast of cold water right before exiting 

the shower. 

LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE 

In general, having a healthy lifestyle 

will enable you to have healthy hair. Don’t 

do things like smoke or get too stressed 

out. Work out as much as you can and also 

drink plenty of water to have great looking 

hair. These types of things, along with 

plenty of rest, can make a huge difference. 

After reading this article, no doubt you’ll 

agree that taking care of your hair isn’t 

as hard as you thought. Hopefully, you 

found some tips here that you can put 

to use right away. A little effort will go 

a long way towards having healthy and 

beautiful hair.

9 EXPERT TIPS REGARDING 

COSMETIC 

Surgery 

by 


Follow Us: 

Cosmetic surgery may be beneficial to 

a person’s body and health, but you 

need to be careful in planning for this 

procedure. Learn more about it here. 

Some people are really against 

cosmetic surgery because of 

personal beliefs. Realistically, 

cosmetic surgery may be beneficial 

to a person’s body and 

health. Your mental health can be affected 

by the way you feel about your appearance, 

and for some people, changing a certain 

aspect of their physical appearance 

can make them feel better overall. 

Continue reading and this 

will be explained further. 


Go forth with the beautiful skin you have always wanted! This article is packed with tips that you can use to keep 

your skin looking healthy and soft. 

 


1 

LOOK FOR NON-SURGICAL 

OPTIONS FIRST 

Before deciding to undergo surgery, consider 

all other options. Frequently, it is 

possible to find other procedures that 

can address your concerns. You may be 

able to resolve problems by visiting a 

dermatologist, using cosmetics or using 

over-the-counter medications and other 

at-home remedies. 

2 

RESEARCH QUALIFICATIONS 

AND EXPERIENCE 

You need to make sure that you know 

all that you can about the physician you 

choose for any cosmetic surgery you have 

done. During consultation visits, take note 

of the amount of time your surgeon spends 

while talking to you and how much time 

he takes in answering all your questions. 

If your doctor isn’t the one addressing 

this, perhaps you should look elsewhere. 

If your needs will not be addressed before 

surgery, they probably won’t after. 

Make sure any doctor you interview has a 

portfolio of past clients to look at. Give a 

good look to their before and after images, 

and decide if you’d be happy with the 

kind of results the surgeon has achieved. 

Inquire about as much as you want to 

when it comes to your cosmetic surgery. 

You should also try to ask prior patients 

about what their experiences were like as 

well. Doing this helps you figure out if you 

are a good match with this doctor. 


25

3 

CONSIDER LICENSED 

PROFESSIONALS ONLY 

Always ask to see your surgeon’s certification 

and license in order to ensure that 

your doctor is qualified. For example, 

Botox is often considered cosmetic and 

not surgical, but you should have any injections 

done by a licensed medical professional. 

It would be unwise to have Botox 

performed at a beauty salon. You can put 

your health in danger while trying to save 

money. Ask your doctor about his or her 

experience level and ask for references 

and/or portfolio pictures so you can verify 

that experience. 

4 

CHECK THE MEDICAL 

FACILITY’S BACKGROUND 

Check out the credentials of medical facilities 

you will be frequenting for your treatment. 

Understand all of the details involved 

so that you can feel as confident as possible 

going into the procedure. This should 

include some research into the reputation 

of the facility, their equipment and any past 

problems they might have experienced. 


Ensure that the proper licensing and accreditation 

are in place at the center. Even 

physician surgery offices are supposed to 

be inspected and registered. To protect 

your well-being, ensure that the surgery 

center you will be using is fully accredited. 

You should also check to make sure the 

surgery center does not have any negative 

reviews in its past. 

5 

DISCUSS ANTIBIOTICS 

TO YOUR SURGEON 

Inquire about antibiotics from your surgeon. 

You will probably need to take this 

medicine before the surgery in order to 

cut infection risks and complications related 

to your surgery. Get a second opinion 

if your surgeon does not plan to 

prescribe antibiotics. 

6 

ASK ABOUT SPECIAL 

OFFERS TO SAVE COST 

Talk to the doctor to see if they have any 

specials. Some surgeons and clinics offer 

their patients a great deal of flexibility in 

financial matters. Often, they may be running 

a special to attract new customers or 

entice repeat clients. If you fail to inquire, 

you might miss out so ask and find out 

what is available to you. 


27

7 

BE FINANCIALLY PREPARED 

Cosmetic surgery is often very pricey, 

and it also means some missed working 

days. Because of this, it is wise to put 

some money to the side. You will be better 

prepared this way to cope with any postop 

expenses. That way, you’ll be set up 

to take care of yourself and recover from 

your surgery. 

8 

BE EMOTIONALLY READY 

Anyone contemplating cosmetic surgery 

should analyze how it fits into their 

life. It is often wise to postpone any cosmetic 

surgery until a time when things are 

going smoothly in their life. After their life 

calms down and they have had time to 

emotionally recover they can then think 

clearly about cosmetic surgery. 

9 

KNOW AND PLAN AHEAD 

Do some research prior to your surgery 

as to what you can expect after it occurs. 

This knowledge will help you plan ahead. 

This will also give others the opportunity to 

plan ahead in case they need to assist you. 

Your knowledge about plastic surgery procedures 

has likely increased extensively. 

Start looking for a qualified surgeon, 

meet with him or her and ask your questions. 

After that, determine whether or 

not you are comfortable proceeding with 

the surgery.

7 Must-Knows When Considering 

Health Insurance Coverage 

by 

Jim Maranto 

Follow Us: 

It’s vital to have a good health 

insurance plan that you can rely 

on when needs arise. Learn the 

important things you should consider 

when getting a plan. 

To stay in good health, it is important that you have a health insurance plan 

that you can rely on. And it is critical to seek education about getting an insurance 

plan because it can be a very important decision to make. This article 

will serve as your guide for getting and maintaining the health insurance 

you need. 


There are many self-help remedies that you can use if you are suffering from sleep apnea. Find out here some tips 

on how to get the sleep you deserve. 

 


1 

DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST 

There are numerous options to 

consider when choosing a health insurance 

plan. Prior to getting health insurance 

through your job, or even talking to 

an insurance agent, do your homework 

about what options are available to you. 

You want to know what all of the terms 

on your plan mean and what everything 

will cost you before you select a plan. 

There are many different plan choices, 

including PPO, POS and HMO. Each can 

be significantly different than the other, 

so really consider each before deciding. 

Importantly, double-check that your current 

doctor is available in the plan you are 

thinking of using. 


33

2 

REVIEW APPLICABLE COVERAGE 

If you are a recent college graduate 

and you are looking into health insurance, 

there are a couple of options for you 

to consider. Perhaps you can get insurance 

through your employer. If you are 25 and 

under, you can still be part of your parents’ 

plan. Of course, you can also check 

for your own individual plan if neither of 

those works. 

Getting insurance with a group or through 

your employer is much cheaper than purchasing 

insurance by yourself. The best 

way to get cheaper insurance for yourself 

is to find a trade organization to join that 

offers health insurance to its members. If 

your spouse is on your insurance and they 

have access to insurance with their employer, 

you will probably be imposed a surcharge. 

It’s possible that it’ll be cheaper for 

the both of you to get insurance through 

your own employers, so take the time to 

calculate your costs in both situations. 

3 

FACTOR IN ALL COSTS INVOLVED 

Think about all the costs involved in 

purchasing a health insurance policy. Take 

into consideration all the costs coming 

your way, such as premiums, deductibles 

and co-pays. While these can be confusing 

at first, it is in your best interest to know 

the costs, and reasons, before you purchase 

a policy. 


4 

CHECK OPTIONS FOR 

PRE-EXISTING CONDITION 

When evaluating your employer’s health 

coverage options, decide based on your 

own condition, as well as the health status 

of your family members. If you are 

not dealing with any health issues, you 

may be tempted to buy insurance that 

has a cheaper premium. It may be a risky 

move if you develop any health issues. 

It’s especially important to research health 

insurance options before purchasing if you 

or someone in your family suffers from a 

chronic or serious condition, such as asthma, 

diabetes or autism. Several companies 

will not cover you if you suffer from a 

pre-existing condition, and there are some 

that charge more for coverage. If you want 

to save money on your health insurance, 

you have to put time into researching different 

insurance plans. 

5 

LOOK FOR WAYS YOU CAN SAVE 

In order to reduce your health insurance 

premium, think about buying 

catastrophic rather than comprehensive 

coverage. While comprehensive covers 

doctor visits and prescriptions, catastrophic 

coverage covers hospital visits 

and emergency care. If you do not make 

regular visits to the doctor consider getting 

a Health Savings Account. You can 

save money you do not pay on insurance, 

and it can go straight into this account to 

pay for medicines and doctors, if needed. 


35

6 

VERIFY CURRENT PLAN PRIOR TO UPDATING 

When it is time for you to update your policy, check your current plan to verify 

that you still need all the services you are paying for, and that you have enough coverage. 

What worked in the past may not now, particularly if your personal health may have 

changed or if you added someone to your policy. Open enrollment is also the time to 

make changes to dental and vision insurance coverage if your employer offers that. 

7 

REVIEW NEW PLANS THOROUGHLY 

When you are going to be switching 

to a different insurance policy, be sure 

to have all of the facts about your new 

plan. Know what is covered, what your 

annual payments are, what the deductible 

is, and what your out-of-pocket costs 

are. Keep this with your current policy 

documents as you search for a new plan. 

As stated above, being in good health is 

crucial for maintaining a happy life. It’s vital 

to have good health insurance to stay 

healthy. The advice offered in this article 

is to help you out with your health 

insurance needs.

10 SIMPLE WAYS OF FIGHTING 

YEAST INFECTION 

by 


Follow Us: 

If you are suffering from 

yeast infection, this 

article will give you the 

information you need 

to treat infections and 

prevent new ones from

Yeast infections are not pleasant, so getting rid 

of them as quickly as possible is ideal. If you

can to prevent them. Then what is the best 

way to treat it? They are all listed right here. Keep reading 

for more information. 


Losing hair is a part of life that many people have to deal with. Work with these hair loss tips in this article, and 

do not let hair loss get you down! 

 


1 

STAY DRY 

If you go to the sauna or pool a lot, take off your wet clothes pronto. Yeast loves a 

damp environment. After taking off wet clothes, dry off completely before dressing in dry 

clothing. Bring along fresh clothes when you will be sweating. This will be an environment 

in which yeast infections are unlikely to arise. 


41

2 

WEAR COTTON 

While exercise is always recommended, 

it is important to understand how 

a sweaty environment can contribute to a 

yeast infection so that you can combat it. 

This is the perfect environment for excessive 

growth of yeast. To help alleviate moisture 

in and around the vagina, wear clothes 

made of natural fibers such as cotton. Be 

sure to wear cotton panties. Synthetic materials 

may feel silky and smooth, but they 

can leave you in discomfort later. 

The cotton underwear lets air circulate 

around your vagina. That can stop a yeast 

infection dead in its tracks. Natural fibers 

are more breathable and are better able to 

handle moisture. Avoid wearing synthetics, 

such as nylon or spandex. Synthetic materials 

don’t breathe, creating a sweaty and 

warm environment. 

3 

AVOID DOUCHING 

Try to stay away from douching. This 

is sold as a cleanser, but the body naturally 

cleanses itself. If you disrupt your body’s 

natural balance, you increase the chances 

of getting a yeast infection. Instead of 

douching, clean the infected area with 

some soap and warm water. 


4 

STOP USING SCENTED PRODUCTS 

Steer clear of perfumed products 

meant for the vaginal area. The chemical 

compounds found in scented products can 

alter the natural pH of your vaginal area. 

Also, scented products can yield irritation 

and itchiness, which can be very uncomfortable. 

When this happens, it creates a place 

where yeast organisms thrive. You want to 

find non-scented versions and be wary of 

any discomfort or burning sensations. 

5 

BE MINDFUL OF 

CUTS OR SCRATCHES 

A small cut on your vaginal area can lead 

to a yeast infection. Sexual activity and 

tampons can be the cause of these kinds 

of abrasions. Try more TLC with both of 

these activities. If you suffer from reoccurring 

yeast infections, avoid rough sex. 

6 

HOLD OFF SEXUAL CONTACT 

A yeast infection can be transferred 

from person to person. If you suffer from 

an infection, hold off on all sexual contact 

until at least a week after your symptoms 

have subsided. If your throat or mouth has 

a yeast infection, don’t kiss anyone and be 

sure to wash all silverware thoroughly after 

you finish eating. 


43

7 

USE TEA TREE OIL TREATMENT 

Tea tree oil makes a fantastic natural 

remedy for treating yeast infections. Mix in 

a bit of sweet almond oil, then apply it to 

the vagina directly. Make sure to dilute tea 

tree oil with another product as it is very 

strong and will cause a burning sensation 

to your skin. This natural remedy is effective 

in both combating an infection and restoring 

order to vaginal chemistry. 

8 

INCREASE GOOD 

BACTERIA WITH YOGURT 

In order to prevent yeast infections from 

occurring, try to eat one cup of yogurt every 

day. Bacteria in yogurt will help fight 

the organisms that give rise to a yeast infection. 

Remember that yogurt will not 

stop an infection you already have. 

9 

GET ADEQUATE SLEEP 

You need a healthy immune system 

to fight off all infections. However, 

if you’re not getting enough sleep, 

your immune system will be weakened. 

Maintain at least eight hours of sleep religiously 

by practicing a healthy lifestyle. 

If you’re a woman who gets yeast infections, 

you are probably eager to cure them. 

If you are someone who has never had 

one, then you will want to know the best 

way to avoid getting an infection. This article 

gives you the information you need to 

do both. Give some of these tips a try, and 

find your way to a cleaner bill of health!

As a tinnitus sufferer, tinnitus 

should not be the main focus 

of your life. This article will 

give you useful information to 

help you cope with tinnitus. 

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, 

can be a mind-bending disorder 

that makes you feel as if 

you are going crazy! If you are 

looking for information on tinnitus, 

then you have arrived at the perfect 

place. The following article will give you 

some useful information about the common 

condition called tinnitus. 


Good eyesight is a treasure that you should not take for granted. Now you can keep good eyesight with some eye 

care must-dos provided in this article. 

 


1 

DON’T FRET, VISIT A DOCTOR FIRST 

If you’re hearing noises in your 

ears that aren’t external, relax! It may 

not mean anything at all, and it usually 

is not a sign of a serious condition at 

all. Visit a doctor to get a diagnosis and 

possibly some advice on treating the 

condition; you need to get a proper diagnosis 

so it will ease your worries. A doctor 

could furnish ideas that will make it 

easier to deal with tinnitus. Your physician 

might also conduct testing for health 

conditions that could be the source of 

your tinnitus.

DROWN OUT THE 

RINGING WITH WHITE NOISE 

Many people find that tinnitus makes it 

difficult to fall asleep. One way to prevent 

tinnitus from disrupting your sleep 

is to use white noise, much like that from 

a small fan, or calming classical music 

that may gently blur the sounds together. 

Look through the arranged sounds, 

and try to find the one that suits you. The 

white noise can distract you long enough 

from your tinnitus to help you get to sleep. 

In addition, you can consider investing in 

a quality white noise machine for bedtime. 

Some people experience worse symptoms 

because of white noise machines. You’ll 

have to experiment and determine what 

works best for your specific needs. 

3 

DO NOT STRUGGLE TO SLEEP 

You should be able to go to sleep in 

15 minutes only. If you’re unable to sleep 

after 15 minutes, get out of bed. Make sure 

not to do any activities that are mentally 

taxing, or that require you to use a lot of 

energy. Find something to relax you. Be 

sure to only sleep in your bed, and don’t 

allow yourself to waste a lot of time struggling 

to sleep. This can become a ritual. 


4 

GET GOOD EXERCISE 

An exhausted dog is easier to deal 

with, and this is also true for someone who 

is afflicted with tinnitus. If you are tired 

when you go to bed, you will have an easier 

time falling asleep. Exercise can also help 

reduce the symptoms of tinnitus, making 

your day easier to get through. 

5 

USE EAR PLUGS WHEN 

SWIMMING OR SHOWERING 

When swimming, it may pay to use ear 

plugs. Water easily enters your ears when 

you go swimming, and this can exacerbate 

your tinnitus symptoms, if you’re afflicted 

with this condition. While it may seem silly, 

it may also be wise to wear ear plugs while 

you shower. 

6 

ORGANIZE YOUR DAILY SCHEDULE 

Think about life’s many stresses if 

you’re interested in freedom from tinnitus. 

Tinnitus is occasionally psychogenic. 

Alter your schedule so that it is not as hectic, 

and get ready for the things well in advance. 

Practicing relaxation techniques on 

a daily basis will lead to them becoming 

a habit. 


51

7 

MAKE DIETARY CHANGES 

Making dietary changes can help you 

deal with the symptoms of tinnitus. Some 

people even claim to be completely cured 

due to removing or adding of certain items 

to their diet. Gingko biloba and vitamin 

B12 are common supplement recommendations. 

You could also try reducing your 

coffee consumption. You should adopt one 

new habit at a time, so you can monitor 

the results and possibly negative changes. 

8 

UNDERGO THERAPY SESSIONS 

Receiving cognitive behavioral therapy 

might be a good treatment if you 

have tinnitus. The goal of going to therapy 

is to not focus on your tinnitus. You 

can also consider TRT, Tinnitus Retraining 

Therapy. This therapy is created with 

the goal of making tinnitus bearable. 

Working with a professional therapist will 

help you deal with your troubling issues 

that might be causing your tinnitus. This 

helps you cope with it better. If you allow 

your tinnitus dominance over your life, 

finding happiness is going to prove a hard 

task to accomplish. 

Tinnitus should not be a huge part of your 

life. By reprogramming yourself to consider 

tinnitus as an irrelevant issue, you can 

find the freedom to proceed with your life. 

You should now have a much clearer perspective 

on tinnitus, and the various methods 

that offer relief from it. Put some of 

the tips to work for you in your daily life 

and hopefully, you will experience an immediate 

reduction in symptoms, and perhaps 

even eliminate tinnitus from your 

life completely.

9 MUST-DOS TO KEEP YOUR 

GOOD EYESIGHT

Good eyesight is a treasure that you 

should not take for granted. Now you 

can keep good eyesight with some eye

Life is filled with many challenges. 

However, good eye care 

is not something you should 

neglect. Continue reading to 

learn tips that help you have 

good eye health. 


If you are among the millions of people who suffer from asthma, then this article is for you. Read on for tips on 

how to effectively manage your asthma. 

 


1 

TRACE YOUR ROOTS FOR 

EYE HEALTH HISTORY 

Understand your family eye health history. 

Some eye conditions are hereditary. It 

is vital to know who in your past has been 

affected. That helps you to reduce your 

chances, or at least makes sure that you 

quickly catch any problems. 

Knowing about any family history for 

eye disease is important. Proper medical 

care may be necessary for hereditary 

conditions. Talking with the elders in your 

family can give you insight into the eye issues 

that you may face as you get older. 

2 

REFRESH YOUR EYES 

WITH COLD WATER 

Try splashing cold water on the eyes 

each day, especially when working long 

hours. This will relieve the irritation 

and redness you may experience. It also 

gives a burst of energy to help you work 

more efficiently. 


57

3 

PACK ON MORE EYE NUTRIENTS 

You may not realize this but what 

you eat may prevent certain issues with 

your eyes. Research has shown that eating 

foods with good amounts of Zinc, Omega 

3 fatty acids, Vitamin C and Vitamin E can 

prevent macular degeneration and cataracts, 

as well as other eye problems. Tuna, 

tomatoes and salmon contain the nutrients 

you need. 

Omega-3 fatty acids will help you with eye 

care. Eating foods containing this important 

nutrient will help you maintain good 

vision. Foods rich in omega-3 fats include 

halibut, tuna, salmon and dark, leafy green 

vegetables. Try to eat at least a serving 

each day. 

4 

SEE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST 

FOR EYE ISSUES 

If you blink often, you might or might not 

have eye issues. If your eyes are not dry, 

it just may be the result of a nervous tic 

you are experiencing. If this happens, try 

to relax. If it is not due to stress, go see 

an ophthalmologist. 

5 

AVOID OVERUSE OF EYE DROPS 

If you use eye drops to sooth your 

eyes because allergens irritate them, you 

should use them sparingly. Even if they 

help you out, if you use them a lot you’ll 

have problems you don’t want to deal with. 

If you can’t get the right help from eyedrops, 

you should speak with someone in 

the eye care industry to help you out. 


6 

KEEP MOISTURE IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS 

Look at the heating and air conditioning situation in your home. This is a major 

cause of dry eyes. Instead of running the heater, just keep a humidifier going to keep 

moisture in the air. This moisture keeps eyes from becoming irritated or dry. 

7 

REPLACE YOUR MAKEUP 

EVERY TWO MONTHS 

Just like your contacts, over time your 

makeup can become a breeding ground for 

bacteria. After several months using the 

same makeup, you will be brushing bacteria 

all around your face and eyes. This 

causes damage to your eyes. 

8 

WALK AWAY FROM SMOKING 

If you are a smoker, consider quitting. 

Though most people know about 

the potential lung damage from smoking, 

many miss that their eyes suffer as well. 

Long-term smokers have a higher risk of 

developing eye diseases. 

Smoking constricts blood flow throughout 

the body - even in the eyes. Smoking may 

also cause cataracts, optic nerve issues, 

and macular degeneration. Start by slowing 

down, and then attempt to quit altogether. 

Your eyes, and the rest of your 

body, will thank you. 


59

9 

GET A QUALITY PAIR OF SUNGLASSES 

This helps keep the UV rays from 

harming your eyes when out in the sun. 

You can use sunglasses to block out all of 

the UVA and UVB rays. If you are a frequent 

driver, you should purchase polarized lenses 

- they help to reduce glare. Additionally, 

you should wear sunglasses along with your 

contact lenses. Sunglasses keep you from 

squinting, and they also block harmful rays 

from the sun to help maintain eye health. 

Sunglasses should be worn year round. 

Snow is white, and reflects a ton of light. 

Even if it is not snowing, the sun emits 

enough light to make the sky and clouds 

bright. Sunglasses are not just for aesthetics; 

they actually provide some health benefits. 

If you rely on glasses, you can obtain 

transitions lenses or prescription sunglasses 

for convenience. 

Having good vision is better maintained 

through these suggestions. You should now 

know exactly what the next step is to take. 

Be sure to take care of your eyes.

should not be permitted to

are some great ideas for dealing with the 

stress in your life. 


There are different types of cancer and also many ways to fight against it. Learn some useful tips to stay healthy 

and prevent cancer in this article. 

 


1 

GIVE YOURSELF AMPLE REST 

You should control the level of stress 

in your life as much as possible. You can 

cause yourself serious problems like heart 

disease, insomnia, muscle aches and depression 

if you are stressed. You could 

avoid this stress by getting enough rest, 

and you will also be less likely to develop 

one of these ailments. 

2 

MAINTAIN A GOOD 

PHYSICAL HEALTH 

Keep your body in good shape and get 

regular check-ups so that you have less 

to worry about. Failing to prevent health 

problems, as well as the worry that this 

causes, will not only harm your body, but 

increase your stress level. Therefore, keep 

in mind that a healthy body also means a 

healthy mind. 

3 

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS 

IS ALWAYS BAD 

When people are feeling stressed they often 

turn to alcohol and other drugs for relief. 

When the way someone feels about 

their life turns entirely negative, substance 

abuse offers an escape from the pain. 

However, you should stay away from drugs 

and alcohol. In fact, these substances will 

only make your life more complicated and 

stressful in the long run. 


65

4 

SPEND LESS TIME 

ON VIDEO GAMES 

Many activities that seem benign will actually 

add to your stress level. While playing a 

computer game may seem like a stress relief 

tactic, if you play for too long, you may 

be reducing the time you have available to 

complete important tasks. This will actually 

cause more stress. This is vital time that 

could have been devoted to much healthier 

activities such as eating or sleeping. 

5 

TALK IT OUT 

Sometimes, just having a good 

conversation with someone you trust can 

be the best way to beat stress. Letting all 

those emotions and anxieties out will help 

you to feel a lot better. Spend some time 

with a friend or loved one who will listen to 

what you have to say. 

6 

GET A PET 

Animals can help relieve stress. 

Studies have shown that spending a few 

minutes petting a friendly animal will reduce 

your stress. So grab a quick trip to 

the nearest pet shop and decide for a 

pet now. 


7 

DAB ON SOME ESSENTIAL OILS 

For an easy trick to reducing stress, 

pick up some spearmint or lavender oil. Just 

dab a drop or two on your temples or neck 

whenever stress gets out of control. Such 

small actions to remedy stress can add up 

to real help. They are all worth trying. 

8 

SLOW DOWN AND BREATHE DEEP 

Those of us who are always on the go 

are often moving too fast without stopping 

to think about what we’re doing. You must, 

in these circumstances, slow down and 

put things back into perspective with controlled, 

deep breaths. Practice deep breathing 

exercises when living with stress. Deep 

breathing exercises, when done on a regular 

basis, can quickly calm your nerves and 

reduce anxiety and stress. Apply some of 

your relaxation techniques throughout the 

day to lessen your anxiety level, clear your 

mind and decrease your blood pressure. 

9 

TRY SELF-HYPNOSIS 

When you find that you are constantly 

annoyed by the same things, look into 

self-hypnosis. There are a lot of people that 

say that when they do self-hypnosis, they 

actually phase out the stress that things 

like a co-worker can cause. With self-hypnosis 

you learn to relax. And relaxation is 

perhaps the key to rid yourself of stress 

and tension as well as anxiety. But perhaps 

the plus point of self-hypnosis is that 

apart from relieving stress experienced at 

the given moment, it will also help eliminate 

the problem - the root causes of such 

stress and anxiety. 


67

BUY YOURSELF SOME GREAT SCENTS 

The next time you are at the beauty store, purchase body lotions and shampoos 

that smell great. The scent can bring a smile to your face throughout the day, and remind 

you to take a moment to relax and alleviate stress. Therefore, purchase these lotions, 

body sprays and shampoos to better your mood. 

JUST LET IT GO 

Try just letting go of your stress. 

While change can sometimes help relieve 

stress, many people are unwilling to go 

through with it. As you start to realize that 

you are not allowing yourself to de-stress, 

you can start to change what is causing 

you to feel this way. It can be challenging 

to change certain types of behavior, but 

once you realize that you have the power 

to control your own destiny, making the 

needed changes will be easier. 

Making the effort to keep stress as a minor 

annoyance, instead of a major one, takes 

time. Tuck these tips away for a time when 

you’re experiencing stress, and then you’ll 

feel more in control of your feelings. Don’t 

let stress take over your life; use these tips 

to deal with it.

few minutes of proper care can make your 

skin better than it is now. 


Cosmetic surgery may be beneficial to a person’s body and health, but you need to be careful in planning for 

this procedure. Learn more about it here. 

 


1 

AVOID OR MINIMIZE 

MAKEUP, IF POSSIBLE 

It is best to under-do, rather than over-do, 

make-up. Pores can get clogged by powders, 

foundations as well as other makeup 

you might use. Clogged pores can lead 

to new blemishes and can exacerbate existing 

acne; an infection can also occur after 

application of makeup over acne. Avoid 

wearing makeup until your skin is clear. Do 

not try to hide blemishes using concealers 

or toners. 


73

2 

EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN 

Exfoliate to rid your skin of dead 

cells. You can use an exfoliation glove, a 

scrub or even white sugar to get the job 

done. Doing this more than twice weekly 

can cause damage and irritation. 

For people with very dry, flaky skin, regular 

exfoliation can get pores unclogged 

and keep them clear of the debris that 

cause whitehead and blackhead pimples. 

Exfoliation helps the body to shed dry, 

dead skin cells on the surface. Once these 

cells are gone, new cells move to the top 

and give the skin a vibrant appearance. 

3 

ALWAYS TAKE A BATH 

POST WORKOUT 

After working out, you need to bathe so 

you get the sweat off of your skin. Simply 

rinsing off your face won’t do it; you need 

to really scrub your entire body. Also, your 

water should not be too hot or cold. 

4 

USE A SPONGE WHEN 

APPLYING SUNSCREEN 

When applying sunscreen, use a makeup 

sponge. This will allow you to apply a 

smooth and even coat of the lotion on your 

body. Using a sponge helps the sunscreen 

work to protect your skin better, and it 

will stop your hands from getting messy. 

Similarly, apply sunscreen on your face 

with a sponge instead of your hands. The 

sponge helps your skin to absorb the sunscreen 

better. Also, this helps you avoid 

applying sunscreen too liberally. 


5 

DRINK MORE AND MORE WATER 

If you want healthy skin, it is important 

that you drink enough water each day. 

Dehydration is shown very easily on your 

skin. The belief that beauty comes from 

within is actually very true; hydration and 

nutrition directly impact the body’s largest 

organ, skin. Drinking at least eight glasses 

of water a day helps to keep you hydrated 

inside and out, which means softer, more 

supple skin. 

Don’t skip out on drinking plenty of water. 

Water helps keep your skin hydrated. This 

will help counter the factors that cause irritation, 

dryness and redness. This will give 

you healthier skin. 

6 

SKIP THE TANNING BEDS 

Tanning beds should be avoided at 

all costs. A lot of people want to get tanned 

so that they can look younger, but it ends 

of having the opposite effect. Tanning 

leads to skin damage and even premature 

aging. A self-tanner will give you the same 

end result without the damage. 


75

7 

MOISTURIZE WITH JASMINE 

Jasmine extract is great to keep your 

skin moisturized. You will also notice that 

your skin gives off a warm glow. It is soothing 

to the touch and full of helpful antioxidants. 

Be advised though, that it may be 

more difficult to find this product compared 

to other regular moisturizers. The 

expense may seem high as well, but its 

benefits are worth it. 

8 

LIVE ON A HEALTHY DIET 

Your skin is affected by the nutrients 

you take in. Eating healthy foods rich 

in vitamins and nutrients is a good way to 

keep your skin healthy and clear. Digestion 

plays a part in the way your skin looks. 

Fiber is key to digestion. Your tummy 

and your skin will both be happier with a 

higher fiber diet. 

Go forth with the beautiful skin you have always 

wanted. Following these tips on a daily 

basis will not only keep your skin looking 

healthy and lovely, but it will also feel soft. 

Remember that it could take some time to 

see results, so don’t give up. Enjoy the results 

you could see in as little as one week.

6 PRACTICAL POINTERS TO 

DEAL WITH 

SLEEP APNEA 

by 

Jim Maranto 

Follow Us: 

There are many self-help remedies that you can use if you are suffering from 

sleep apnea. Find out here some tips on how to get the sleep you deserve. 

If you happen to suffer with sleep apnea, you probably feel tired all the time, never 

getting a full night’s rest. While a condition like this does require the professional 

opinion of a doctor, there are many self-help remedies that work, too. Genetic 

and congenital risks cannot be altered, but lifestyle changes can be made. 

Minimize the risk factors associated with sleep apnea. If you are an alcoholic, a smoker or 

are overweight, changing these factors may eliminate your sleep apnea. Read the following 

article for some great tips on living with sleep apnea yet sleeping better and feeling better. 


It’s vital to have a good health insurance plan that you can rely on when needs arise. Learn the important things 

you should consider when getting a plan. 

 


1 

LOSE THE EXTRA POUNDS 

Overweight people are prone to suffering 

from sleep apnea. In these cases, 

simply losing the extra weight can alleviate 

the symptoms. There are a number 

of people who only need to lose a 

few pounds to entirely stop their sleep 

apnea episodes. 

Even losing a little weight can improve sleep 

apnea by opening the throat and airway, 

because there is less pressure on the neck. 

Increasing exercise and reducing your total 

calorie intake can help to accomplish 

this. Reducing carbohydrate intake can be 

an effective way to take off the pounds, according 

to some recent studies. 


81

2 

GET THE HELP OF 

A MOUTH GUARD 

If your sleep apnea is the result of narrow 

airways, try using a mouth guard when 

you sleep. A sleep mouth guard will correct 

the airway and let you breathe correctly 

all night. These mouth guards are 

more comfortable than a CPAP and it really 

helps keep the airways clear and keeps 

the soft tissues of the throat stable. Have 

your dentist fit you for a custom mouth 

guard. These guards are designed for patients 

with sleep apnea. 

3 

GET RID OF SMOKING 

AND ALCOHOL 

If you’re a smoker or a drinker (or both) 

who’s also dealing with sleep apnea, you 

may find that giving up your vices will 

solve your sleep disorder. Alcohol relaxes 

the tongue and throat muscles, which can 

cause them to block your airway; smoking 

inflames the airway, causing it to narrow. 

Both of these habits can cause snoring 

and apnea. Unlike having expensive surgery 

or other medical procedures, eliminating 

these harmful habits actually saves 

money for you. 

Avoid drinking alcohol very often. The natural 

effects of alcohol lead to over-relaxation 

of your muscles. While this might 

often be a desirable side effect of drinking, 

it can also cause sleep apnea. If you are 

a person who needs a drink sometimes, 

then aim to not drink it very frequently. 

Definitely do not drink any immediately 

before hitting the sheets at night. 


4 

GET ACCUSTOMED 

TO USING YOUR CPAP 

Try your best to use your CPAP machine as 

much as possible if you get one. Some individuals 

have a lot of trouble getting used to 

CPAP masks in their sleep. Use your CPAP 

as often as prescribed by your doctor, and 

make sure it fits properly. As you become 

more accustomed to the sleep mask, you 

should be able to wear it longer. 

5 

AVOID POPPING SLEEPING PILLS 

Look for other sleeping aids besides 

sleeping pills. Similar to alcohol, 

a sleeping pill will relax the muscles in 

your throat. They can also cause a significant 

number of additional complications 

for sleep apnea patients. Ask your 

physician about sleeping aids that are 

free of harmful effects or risks to your 

night-time breathing. 


83

6 

TRY A STOP SNORING DEVICE 

Consider purchasing a device 

that assists in reducing your snoring. 

Snoring is when you have your airways 

come to a partial close while air is 

coming through, while apnea is actually 

when your airways are closed all the 

way. Therefore, it is only sensible that a 

stop snoring device might also help with 

sleep apnea. Your sleep apnea may benefit 

from the use of a stop snoring device. 

Not getting enough sleep can affect your 

life in drastic ways and ruin your future 

health. Stopping smoking and shedding 

weight is a great start, especially for anyone 

dealing with sleep apnea. Coffee, caffeine 

and alcohol should also be avoided 

before bed. Start taking control over your 

sleep apnea, and get the rest you deserve. 

Life can be difficult enough, and you 

shouldn’t have to go through it without 

sufficient sleep!

CHIROPRACTIC 

CARE 

by 


Follow Us: 

This article presents useful 

information about chiropractic 

care and what you should look 

out for when you want to go for 

chiropractic services. 

Chiropractic care is something 

that many people want more 

information about. If you are 

among them, this piece is for 

you. Continue reading for 

some helpful information. 


Sometimes people find it very difficult recovering from something like memory loss. But, the approaches in this 

article just might help you with that! 

 


1 

CAREFULLY CHOOSE 

YOUR CHIROPRACTOR 

Just like in any profession, there are good 

and bad chiropractors. In fact, cases have 

been reported where a chiropractor had 

caused more damage to the patient. Always 

check out any chiropractor you are thinking 

about using in advance of any visit. 

Stay away from any chiropractor that advocates 

a regimen of diet supplements, herbal 

remedies or anything homeopathic. They 

are likely just trying to upsell you based on 

products they offer and cannot be trusted. 

Your best sources for such advice are nutritionists 

and general practice physicians. 

Finding a good chiropractor is easy. Lots 

of folks across the globe love chiropractic 

treatment. Every chiropractor must undergo 

extensive training before receiving 

the proper certifications required in the 

field. They need to take about four years of 

training at a graduate level, and they have 

to know quite a bit about human anatomy. 

Always review the training and certifications 

acquired by any chiropractor before 

you begin their treatment. 


89

2 

GET YOUR 

DOCTOR’S RECOMMENDATION 

You want to pay your doctor a visit prior 

to engaging in any chiropractic services. A 

physician really does need to weigh in on 

potential underlying problems. This also 

allows your chiropractor to better understand 

how your particular issue should be 

handled. It could indicate that a chiropractor 

isn’t the way to go. It is possible that 

your doctor will suggest some other option. 

3 

GET AN MRI OR AN 

X-RAY FIRST-HAND 

Prior to having work done on your spine, 

you should have other injuries ruled out by 

having either an MRI or a set of X-rays. This 

will make sure you get the necessary care. 

If you don’t get the X-rays, don’t go ahead 

with any treatment. Call another chiropractor 

to make an appointment. 

4 

A ONE-TIME VISIT DOES NOT WORK 

Don’t think you’re going to get all the 

care you need from just a single visit to a 

chiropractor. You might feel relieved after 

seeing a chiropractor, but you can only really 

heal your problem if you continue to 

see a chiropractor. Be sure to follow your 

chiropractor’s recommendations and keep 

your appointments. If not, you will end up 

disappointed with the results. 


5 

SAVE ON COST, 

ASK FOR A DISCOUNT 

Don’t be afraid to ask your chiropractor 

about discounts; they may offer one 

the more frequently you visit. A lot of 

the time you have to go to the chiropractor 

multiple times. Sometimes, this may 

mean two to three weekly visits for multiple 

months. The cost really can add up 

over time. You never know if there is a 

discount until you ask, so question the 

staff about it. 

6 

CHANGE YOUR 

SLEEPING POSITIONS 

The position in which you sleep can affect 

your back. A great thing to do is put a 

rolled towel beneath the neck when sleeping. 

These help the head drop downward, 

while normal pillows push it forward. 


91

7 

MANIPULATE YOUR 

NECK’S FIRST VERTEBRA 

Are you one of the millions of people who 

deal with HPB (High Blood Pressure)? 

Research indicates that manipulating the 

first vertebra in the neck can lower high 

blood pressure. This manipulation frees 

the heart’s nerve supply, making for better 

regulation of pressure. 

8 

DON’T PUT YOUR WALLET IN THE 

BACK POCKET 

When carrying a wallet, don’t place it inside 

your back pocket. Many men carry 

their wallets in a hip pocket with no 

idea that this habit will cause back pain. 

Carrying your wallet in the back pocket will 

eventually lead to pain in the lower back. 

This can place constant pressure on this 

area, and it can interrupt connections to 

the reproductive organs, bladder, colon, 

and behind your legs. Putting one’s wallet 

in the front instead of back pocket is one 

way to avoid this. 

9 

MAINTAIN A PROPER POSTURE 

Be aware of your posture and never 

slouch forward when standing or sitting 

for extended periods. This puts unnecessary 

stress on your back muscles and on 

your spine. If sitting or standing hunched 

over is unavoidable, make sure that you are 

stretching and switching positions often. 

You have now read some helpful tips concerning 

seeking chiropractic care. The 

main thing to do would be to work hard so 

that you get great results. Don’t be in pain 

or be afraid to get the services you deserve 

now that you know how to proceed!

WITH ASTHMA 

by

Follow Us: 

If you are among the millions of 

people who suffer from asthma, 

then this article is for you. Read 

on for tips on how to effectively 

manage your asthma. 

Asthma is a chronic disease 

that requires ongoing, consistent 

management and care. If 

you are among the millions of 

people who suffer from asthma, 

you definitely need to take a few minutes 

to read the information that follows. 

We have organized a collection of the 

best valid advice concerning asthma to 

aid you in finding strategies to live a life 

that is healthier and less burdensome.

1 

STEER CLEAR FROM 

SMOKE, FUMES AND VAPORS 

If you suffer from asthma, avoid smoke, 

fumes and vapors. Smoke and chemicals 

have been known to trigger asthma attacks. 

Because of this, you should avoid 

any kind of tobacco smoke and take any 

job that you want to apply for into consideration; 

factories could expose you to 

a variety of smoke, vapors and dust. You 

should attempt to minimize your contact 

with cigarette smoke, chemical fumes, and 

noxious vapors. 

Any type of smoke can bring on a serious 

asthma attack. Never smoke a cigarette! 

Avoid breathing chemical fumes and 

vapors. When you see people smoking in 

your area avoid them and move away. If 

you live with or near a smoker, find a way 

to politely ask that they not smoke around 

you or your living spaces. 


97

2 

GET YEARLY FLU 

SHOTS FOR THE FAMILY 

Ask everyone in your family to get a flu 

shot every year. If you are afflicted with 

asthma, avoid getting any infections if possible. 

Take standard precautions against 

any kind of illness, and start washing those 

hands and getting vaccinations that will 

protect you from getting very sick. 

3 

TAKE ALLERGY MEDICATIONS 

If allergy symptoms cause you to 

have moderate to severe asthma attacks, 

there is a medication available that 

can help for extended periods of time. 

Omalizumab can effectively control allergy 

symptoms you may be experiencing 

and can be suggested by your local allergist 

if it fits your needs. In addition, leukotriene 

inhibitors may be helpful to you 

if you suffer from asthma. Leukotriene inhibitors 

block the effects of leukotrienes. 

Leukotriene, a chemical released by the 

body in response to an allergen, is responsible 

for inducing many of the symptoms 

of an asthma attack. Get the inhibitor to 

prevent the leukotrienes, and your asthma 

attacks may drop in number. 

4 

PRACTICE ORAL CARE 

AFTER INHALER USE 

It is important to use your maintenance 

inhaler daily as prescribed. However, understand 

that most types of inhalers contain 

ingredients which may make your 

mouth more susceptible to infections. 

Immediately brush your teeth followed by 

a quick gargle after using your inhaler. This 

is a great way to prevent any kind of complications 

in your mouth. 


5 

PACK RESCUE MEDICATIONS 

FOR TRAVELS 

Whenever you travel, always keep your rescue 

inhaler or other fast-acting medication 

by your side at all times. Traveling can make 

you more likely to suffer from attacks due 

to the extra strain and stress on your body. 

You also have less control of your surroundings 

while you are away from home, so it is 

difficult to avoid potential triggers and to 

maintain control over your attack. If traveling 

by plane with your asthma equipment 

or medications, always carry your written 

prescription with you to avoid problems. 

Having written proof that the item in question 

is in fact medically necessary can cut 

down on hassles at the security check. 

6 

LEARN HOW TO 

ADMINISTER MEDICATIONS 

Find out how you are supposed to use 

your asthma medication and rescue treatments. 

A typical asthma treatment plan is 

daily medication backed up with an emergency 

inhaler. Because asthma is a chronic 

condition, it is important to take management 

medication properly and to use rescue 

medication appropriately. 


99

7 

KEEP AIR AT HOME MOISTURE FREE 

Mold and mildew thrive in homes 

with high humidity levels. These fungi 

are both common triggers for asthma attacks. 

Thus, keep the air in your home as 

moisture-free as possible to avoid asthma-related 

problems. Whenever you use a 

heater, you should use a dehumidifier, and 

air conditioning will help in the summer. 

8 

FOLLOW REGULAR CHECKUPS 

Don’t skip appointments for your 

checkups, even if you haven’t had any 

recent asthma attacks. You don’t know 

when you could have another flareup, 

or if there are better or safer medications 

available. Discuss your best 

options with your allergist and doctor. 

This information can offer you ways to 

manage your asthma productively and regain 

your full lifestyle back. Be sure you 

are practicing proper self-care, and make 

sure you have your inhaler ready to go in 

case you suffer a full-blown attack. Use the 

tips and advice from the article above to 

be proactive in handling your asthma and 

maintain the lifestyle you love.

A 10-PART GUIDE TO LIVING A FIT AND 

by 


Follow Us: 

In the world of fitness, learning 

about how to work out properly is an 

important factor. This article will teach 

you how to get more fit the right way. 

Many different exercises can help 

you get fit and keep you motivated. 

It is important that you 

find out what works for you. In 

the world of fitness, you have 

the freedom to come up with an exercise 

regimen individualized to fit your personal 

preferences. The more knowledge you gain 

about various kinds of fitness, the more it 

will interest you. 


Managing your hair is not as difficult as you may think. Learn from here some hair care tips that will help you 

to finally own that beautiful hair. 

 


1 

START IT SLOW 

A common mistake is going overboard 

when you start trying to lose weight. 

Start off slowly when you have not been 

physical for awhile. Your body and muscles 

are new to this type of work, so take 

it slow to avoid experiencing injuries. 

Many people attempt to get fit just by lifting 

weight on a bench. Actually, there are a 

few exercises for the body that are simple 

and effective such as the pull-up, squats, 

bridges, leg raises, handstand push-ups 

and pull-ups. 

2 

WORK WITH SMALLER 

MACHINES FIRST 

When working with weights, start with 

smaller machines first. Small muscles fatigue 

more quickly than large muscles, 

so using barbells before larger machines 

makes sense. Then move on to working 

out your larger muscle groups using the 

bigger machines. 


105

3 

HEAVIER WEIGHTS, FEWER REPS 

A basic workout to build muscles is 

to lift heavier weight but complete fewer 

reps. Begin by selecting a muscle group, 

such as the chest. Begin with a warm-up 

set using lighter weights. Do about 20 reps 

to warm up: use lighter weights if you cannot 

do 20 reps. Then, increase to a weight 

that you can’t do more than 6 to 8 reps 

with. Add five more pounds to the weight 

and repeat the third set. 

4 

WALK RIGHT 

It is imperative to use correct form 

when walking; this will lower the potential 

for an injury. Walk up straight and draw 

your shoulders back. Bend your elbows at a 

90 degree angle. When walking, make sure 

you move one foot forward while using the 

opposite arm for movement. In every step, 

let your heel initially hit the ground then 

roll your foot forward. 

5 

BIKE WITH PROPER PACING 

When riding a bike, focus on keeping 

your pace around 80 to 110 RPM. 

You will be able to ride farther at a faster 

pace without causing undue strain on 

your knees. To calculate your pace, multiply 

the times your right knee pops up 

in a minute. This will be the rpm that you 

should aim for. 


6 

ALWAYS DO PROPER BREATHING 

Making a conscious effort to breathe well during your workout can improve the effectiveness 

of that workout. When doing core exercises, like sit-ups or crunches, exhale 

with force when your head is at the highest point of the rep. If you contract your abs 

when you exhale, you will get a stronger workout. 

7 

ADD VARIETY TO YOUR ROUTINE 

Varying the exercises you participate 

in maximizes the benefits for your body. 

You can run around the block instead of 

using a treadmill. Walking outside is much 

different with the hills and the sidewalk. 

If you vary your exercises, your body will 

not be able to settle into routine, and your 

weight loss will keep improving. 

8 

MAKE USE OF YOUR YARD 

For easy fitness, try working in the 

yard. You need some physical activity and 

your yard can probably use some tending. 

It’s a win-win solution. You can get 

some needed activity by getting out and 

working on your outside lawn space weekly. 

After a while, you’ll be enjoying a wellkept 

yard, and an in shape body. 


107

9 

MAKE EXERCISE A DAILY ROUTINE 

Scheduling yourself for a daily dose of 

exercise is a great way to improve your fitness. 

This ensures that the hard work you are putting 

in does not go to waste. You can easily establish 

a routine this way. Be certain you save days for 

light exercise; however, to make sure you aren’t 

overdoing it. 

WORKOUT WITH A BUDDY 

Running with a buddy can provide 

several benefits. Exercising with a friend 

provides substantial motivation, especially 

when they are in better shape then you 

are. A friend that is in good physical shape 

is also a good running partner. That person 

can represent the goals you wish to 

achieve, giving you something to strive toward. 

Competing against someone who 

is a better runner will make you a better 

runner as well. 

The advice shared here will teach you how 

to get more fit and how to do it right. Don’t 

assume that learning about how to work 

out properly isn’t important. When you 

jump in without any knowledge, you invite 

the risk of injury or the struggle of getting 

fit more easily. Start researching prior 

to exercising.

12 EASY APPROACHES TO BETTER 

MEMORY 

RETENTION 

by 

Jim Maranto 

Follow Us: 

Sometimes people find it 

very difficult recovering from 

something like memory loss. But, 

the approaches in this article 

just might help you with that! 

As people age, they also 

lose an increasing number 

of their precious 

memories. Although 

some people may try to 

comfort you by saying newer memories 

have pushed out the older ones, 

it’s devastating to not be able to remember 

your most important milestones, 

such as the day your lover 

proposed to you or your baby’s first 

word. Make sure that you stop the 

cycle of losing memories by employing 

some of these tactics. 


This article presents useful information about chiropractic care and what you should look out for when you want 

to go for chiropractic services. 

 


1 

WRITE IT DOWN 

A useful mechanism for refining your 

ability to recall data is to write things down 

on paper. This will help create blood flow 

toward the parts of the brain that help 

you remember things. Maintaining written 

records of key information is a great 

way to strengthen your power of recall. 

If you struggle remembering what you have 

to do, don’t fear using sticky notes. Stick 

them to spots that you look at frequently 

during the day, for example on the edge 

of your computer monitor or on your restroom 

mirror. Think of these sticky notes 

as an aid to your memory. 

2 

GIVE YOUR BRAIN A BREAK 

You should rest each hour for about 

5-15 minutes during study or work sessions. 

Do these short breaks so your 

brain has time to relax. Doing this will improve 

your mind’s ability to absorb what 

you’re learning. 


113

3 

FOCUS AND PAY ATTENTION 

One great memory technique involves 

simply paying attention. If your 

mind constantly wanders, you won’t properly 

absorb information. Try your best to 

focus and clear your mind so you can focus 

on the things that are being shown and 

said. Maintain your attention and mentally 

review what you are learning. 

4 

LET GO OF THE NEGATIVITY 

To keep your memory at its best, 

purge negative and unpleasant thoughts 

from your mind. People who entertain negative 

thoughts or undergo lots of stress 

will have a greater inability to remember 

things than people who are positive or are 

less stressed. Consult a professional for 

stress relief advice. 

5 

CHANGE YOUR SURROUNDINGS 

When studying, you can improve 

memory retention simply by moving to different 

surroundings while you continue 

to study. This type of change can rejuvenate 

your mind, and improve your memory 

skills. Your brain will start taking in all 

the new details of your environment, and 

as a result will also be more receptive to 

remembering what you are studying. 


6 

ENGAGE YOUR MIND SOCIALLY 

Stay socially active if you want to 

keep a strong memory. You will be happier 

and more alert if you do this. When you 

are lonely or depressed, your mind does 

not receive stimulation, and the brain cells 

do not get their exercise. If you have regular 

conservations with people you know, 

your mind will be engaged and you will remember 

things better. 

7 

READING ALWAYS HELPS 

Visit your local library and get books 

that can help you to improve your memory. 

There are many books available that were 

written by psychiatrists that will give you 

helpful and professional tips for improving 

brain function and overall memory. You will 

be surprised to find a lot of very practical tips 

on how to improve your memory retention. 

8 

DRINK MEMORY 

ENHANCING SUPPLEMENTS 

Ginseng is a good supplement to take to 

improve your overall memory. Studies suggest 

that taking ginseng may help you learn 

and retain information. It’ll also help your 

overall health as well as your brain. Green 

tea is also thought to have some benefits 

in improving memory retention. 


115

9 TEACH 

Teaching others is a great way to keep 

your memory sharp. This means you should 

talk to others about the exact thing that you 

are trying not to forget. This way, you can, 

and will, reinforce this in your mind, and 

make it far more difficult to forget. 

CRAMMING IS NOT THE ANSWER 

Refrain from cram sessions when 

dealing with information. A better way to 

remember things is to use study sessions, 

as opposed to cramming. Learning a large 

amount of information at one sitting is not 

an effective method for long-term memory. 

Your mind will become overwhelmed, 

and you will inevitably forget much of 

what you learned. Make sure you study 

regularly so that your brain is stimulated 

into remembering. 

CONSUME LOTS OF BRAIN FOOD 

Eat the right foods for the health 

of your brain and it will reward you with a 

sharp and versatile memory. Healthy types 

of fats are beneficial to the brain. These 

good fats are found in things like fish, certain 

nuts, as well as olive oil and flax seed oil. 

Sometimes people find it very difficult, and 

at times impossible from recovering from 

something like memory loss. By making use 

of the advice given here, however, you can 

at least be certain that none of your new 

memories are lost. Use these tips to make 

your life more efficient and productive.

Losing hair is a part of life that 

many people have to deal with. 

If there are bald people in your 

family, it is possible that you, 

too, may lose hair easily. If you 

are experiencing hair loss, or worried that 

it may happen to you, you can learn how to 

stop or prevent losing your hair. 


If you are suffering from yeast infection, this article will give you the information you need to treat infections 

and prevent new ones from happening. 

 


1 

KNOW WHAT’S BEHIND 

YOUR HAIR LOSS 

Look for reasons that may have contributed 

to your hair loss. Medications or major 

life events in the last 3 months could 

be the cause of your hair loss. By figuring 

out what is causing your hair loss, 

you can learn how to treat it. Some find 

that the hair loss began when using a certain 

hair product, such as hair gel with 

an alcohol base, or a leave-in treatment. 

By simply discontinuing use of these 

products, the problem should be solved. 

One place to look when trying to find the 

cause of excessive hair loss is the components 

of your daily diet. An unhealthy 

diet does not provide you with the vitamins 

you need for your hair. Avoid foods 

high in carbs and stay away from fast 

foods. To keep hair healthy, eat high-protein, 

low-fat foods like fish and chicken 

breasts, and consume plenty of fresh fruits 

and vegetables. 


121

2 

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR 

Talk to a medical professional about 

the hair loss you’re facing and how you can 

treat it. Starting treatment before getting 

a diagnosis can lead to disappointment 

and failure. There are many different factors 

at play that could be causing you to 

lose your hair, either temporarily or permanently. 

So do the right thing and speak 

with a professional. 

3 

GIVE YOUR SCALP 

A GOOD MASSAGE 

Massaging your scalp on a regular basis 

can help to reduce hair loss. Massaging will 

increase circulation to your scalp by opening 

blood vessels and warming the skin. 

Gently move your fingers, using circular 

motions, all over your scalp. Massage your 

scalp in this manner for about 10 minutes. 

Stress can lead to hair loss, and massaging 

your scalp can help alleviate stress. 

4 

AVOID BRUSHING WET HAIR 

Use a soft towel to remove the excess 

moisture from your hair, and then let 

it fully air dry before brushing it. When hair 

follicles are wet, they are more vulnerable 

and prone to damage. Brushing hair when 

wet can result in you losing it faster. 


5 

EAT MORE SESAME SEEDS 

You should eat white sesame seeds 

if you want to slow hair loss. Have a handful 

of them each morning. They contain 

healthy doses of magnesium and calcium, 

including as much as 1200 mg of these minerals. 

Calcium and magnesium are great 

for your scalp; they will nourish it and help 

reduce your hair loss. 

6 

INCREASE YOUR VITAMIN C INTAKE 

You may want to consider consuming 

more Vitamin C if you suffer from 

hair loss. Vitamin C helps by getting 

more blood flow to the scalp, and maintains 

capillaries which carry the blood to 

hair follicles. If you have good blood flow 

to your head, your hair is more likely to 

grow fast. 

7 

AVOID TIGHT HAIR STYLES 

The way you style your hair could 

cause hair loss. Pulling your hair tight with 

a pony tail or clip can cause hair loss. This 

can lead to traction alopecia, a condition 

that can cause hair loss. 


123

8 MEDITATE 

Surprisingly, meditation can be an 

effective technique not only for relaxation, 

but for hair loss as well. The blood vessels 

in your scalp get constricted when you are 

stressed, and this makes your hair fall out. 

Blood can flow easier to your scalp thanks 

to the relaxing properties of meditation. 

9 

PURCHASE A GOOD WIG 

If you have a severe problem with 

hair loss, you may want to consider wearing 

a wig. Buying a wig is less expensive 

than other hair loss treatments. Wigs are 

easy to obtain and found in many salons 

and specialty stores. 

There are many wigs available today that 

are natural and realistic in appearance. No 

one else will be able to tell that it is a wig. 

Wigs can be matched easily to the tone of 

your skin. 

By reading this article, you will know there 

are some methods that could prevent, 

slow down or even stop hair loss. These 

hair loss tips can effectively help you solve 

whatever hair loss issues concern you. Do 

not let hair loss get you down - do something 

about it today!
