Finding A Spinal Decompression Specialist

By Dr. Randall Pruitt

If you are suffering from chronic back pain, you might need a spinal decompression specialist to treat your existing condition. You have to first assess whether you need this type of medical treatment. Once you're done you can now start your search for a spinal decompression specialist.

In order to determine whether you need the care of a spinal decompression specialist, there are several different things that you are going to have to do. The first thing that you are going to have to do is contact your doctor or medical health professional. Spinal decompression is a non surgical process that helps to relieve pain that is associated with degenerative and herniated discs.

Your doctor or medical health professional will be able to tell you if youre an ideal candidate for spinal decompression. This is the best thing that you can do before jumping right into your search for spinal decompression specialists. This is because there may be less risky alternative methods of non surgical procedures that your doctor or medical health professional recommend before trying spinal decompression.

However, your doctor might tell you that you might be able to benefit from this type of treatment. If so, the best thing to do is get their recommendations for specialists that they know. This is the best way to find a specialist that you will be able to trust. Many people are worried about going to see new medical professionals that they have never met before. However when you allow your family doctor to recommend specialists to you, it will help to ease some of the worry of meeting a new doctor.

Good News is there are tons of spinal decompression specialist to choose from. It is best if you ask for resources from the authorities that regulate these medical industries. They will be able to provide you a list of registered specialist in your area.

Knowing that the specialist is registered and certified makes you more at peace. Schedule an appointment with different specialists for you to find someone that you will be comfortable with. It is best practice to inform your doctor about it. This will allow the two professionals to work together to come up with a plan for your recovery that will be ideal for your specific condition. This is the ideal situation for your treatment process when suffering. - 15683

That is good for their low end chairs but less sufficient for their higher end models. There warranty is 3 years on the roller mechanism, 1 year parts and labor, and 1 year in home technician service. The 1 year parts and labor is a bit cheap for a high end chair, but the 1 year in home service is

Sanyo is know for its advanced electronics, are any integrated into the DR-6700 massage chair? Yes, there are some very interesting electronics, such as a stiffness detector. The stiffness detector is based on lie detector technology. It monitors your pulse rate and also your perspiration level. It then feeds this data to the computer which then can identify where then tension is residing in your body and adjusts the massage program.

The lower body also needs some attention and the DR6700 has just the answer. An air compressor has been installed underneath the seat which activates air bags in the chair.

3 Proven Ways To Make Yourself Look Or Appear Taller

By Rodney Williams

For some, growing taller through natural means may not be as easily accomplished as it is for others. Depending on your physical condition and/or age, exercises or other procedures used to help gain natural height may not be feasible. Or perhaps you're only looking for a temporary solution to make yourself look taller, without actually gaining any height.

Regardless of the situation, there are three easy ways to gain some height, both real and perceived, which requires very little effort on your part, just that burning desire to stand eye-to-eye with your peers.

1) The most obvious would seem to be to change your footwear, without going overboard and making it obvious that you're heightening through your shoes. This can be accomplished through either the footwear itself, or through special insoles.

Shoes can readily be found on the market which will discreetly increase your height a good couple of inches. Insoles can also help to raise your height a good inch or two, but must be compatible with the footwear you plan to use them with.

2) Next is clothes, and not only can clothes make the man or woman, they can also make the man or woman appear taller. Unlike footwear, which will actually make you taller while wearing them, proper attire will not make you physically taller in any way, but can give off the appearance that you are.

Wearing tighter fitter clothing should be your first priority, as loose or baggy clothes give you a more squat appearance. Vertical lines on shirts are another great way to give off the illusion of being taller. Women should wear compact dresses or skirts, and no-waste pants. Men should also stick to wearing their pants as low as possible (within reason), and wearing cuff-less pants is also advised.

3) Finally we come to hair, without a doubt one of our most recognizable features, and one that can fairly easily be changed to give ourselves a whole new look, be it through a new style, cut, or coloring. Hair can just as easily be used to our advantage in our attempts to look taller as well.

We're not talking about going out and getting a Mohawk or anything, but tricks that can be used include spiking your hair at the front for men, and women wearing their hair up.

These are three useful techniques for gaining height that can easily be made use of, and combines, could add plenty of actual and perceived height to your appearance. - 15683

Is Oolong the Secret Behind Youthful Skin?

By Caitlin Ryan

Asian women tend to have beautiful, flawless skin for many years. Aging seems to be on hold in many Asian regions. How do they achieve this? Would you not love to know about their many secrets such as oolong tea?

There are other secrets of Asian women that help them maintain their youthful appearance such as diet and less exposure to environmental toxins. They live cleaner lives, generally speaking.

We should all strive for a better diet full of fruits, veggies, whole grains and lean proteins; however, we cannot do much to escape environmental toxins from industrial facilities, car exhaust and chemicals. This is where oolong tea can help fight the damage, prevent premature aging and improve the youthful appearance of your skin!

All tea is from a plant called Camellia Sinensis. The difference among different teas is due to when the leaves are harvested and the fermentation process that they undergo afterwards.

Black tea is highly fermented (crushed and oxidized). Green tea is not fermented. White tea is green tea that is picked earlier. Oolong has a unique background and it is semi-fermented.

A man named Wu Liang is behind oolong tea. He was picking tea leaves to make green tea when he a deer came out from the trees. He left the tealeaves to hunt the deer.

A few days later, Wu Liang returned and found that his tea leaves had darkened (oxidized) in the sun. Not wanting to waste the leaves, he prepared them for tea regardless of the oxidation that had taken place. To his amazement, the tea tasted much better than the grassy, green tea he previously made.

Among the most beneficial teas in fighting aging is oolong, green and white teas. Oolong tea has the nicest flavor. The antioxidants or phytochemicals in oolong tea are what give it remarkable age-fighting powers.

At the heart of aging lie free radicals. We are exposed to free radicals on a daily basis through UV rays and all of the chemicals and pollutants previously mentioned. Free radical molecules damage our skin (and all tissue) at the cellular level.

They destroy cellular membranes and alter genetic material. As we age, it becomes more and more difficult to fight free radicals and repair the damage. As well, we stop regenerating cells as much as we did when we were younger.

Not only does this process affect our overall health, but it also damages our skin. We wind up with wrinkles and sagging skin. Our skin becomes more fragile.

The antioxidants in oolong tea can fight free radicals by stopping the oxidation process that takes place when free radicals steal the electron from healthy molecules in our bodies. Antioxidants are also imperative for repairing the damage already incurred and regenerating cells. Drinking oolong tea on a daily basis can improve you skin health. Healthy skin is beautiful skin!

Moderately priced and wonderful in flavor, oolong tea is one of the best! - 15683

Having Fun with Free Online Dress Up Games

By Vlad Stivenson

If you have a small girl, then chances are you know who the Bratz is and maybe even their individual names. If your girl likes them and has talked to you about them, then you can tell Cloe from Yasmin, know whos nicknamed Bunny Boo, and of course, know they are the girls with a passion for fashion. The Bratz have been so successful that all sorts of products with their image and name have been produced, including free online games. Its no wonder that Mattel, the company that produces Barbie, has tried to legally stop the Bratz mania.

We know you love your child, and you would like to buy her whatever her heart desires, but as you know, there are things that take priority, like school materials and doctor bills. Have you considered getting them to play Bratz dress up games? I suggest you give it a try. There are hundreds of sites with dress up games featuring the Bratz characters, where your daughter can pretend to be one of the Bratz girls or her fashion designer. In addition, your child will practice eye-hand coordination as she visualizes, compares, clicks, and moves things around.

Not only online dress up games are friendly to your wallet, they also avoid cleaning and sorting after play. No tripping and falling due to dolls forgotten on the floor, or tears from your girl because some minuscule shoe got lost or broke. All you need is a computer and internet access, and if youre reading this article, you have them already.

Just what kind of games do these sites have? Well, theres actually quite some variety on the activities that these games propose.

Aside from the dress up games, which are basically a virtual version of the paper dolls you used to play with, there is a theme party game. Your child has to help one of the Bratz girls sort out the most appropriate outfit for a given party theme. There is a time limit, so the child has to make quick decisions.

There are also makeover games. Some versions will also feature arranging the Bratz dolls hair and surroundings. You will even find some that let your daughter give the Bratz characters a facial. Just like the Bratz themselves, its all about passion for fashion.

Then, there are other games that have a more arcade feeling to them. For example, youll have to send Sasha through a mall that looks like a labyrinth and get that one special pair of shoes under a certain amount of time. Or you might have to help Jade organize a fashion show with a limited budget. Some of these games let you carry a scenario from one game to the next, so, for example your character will have a slightly bigger budget each game.

Of course, you can always play one of these games yourself. Just to supervise what your little girl is doing, of course. Just dont forget that you have to work the next day. - 15683

Staying Positive: Help from a Gratitude Bracelet

By Deanna Collins

Gratitude bracelets can be an aid to staying positive, especially when all odds seem to be against us. Life's problems can easily get us down, and when the going gets tough it's time to fight back. We don't want to claim defeat over any issue which has the possibility of taking our motivation out from under us.

Importance of Gratitude

It may seem like a small consolation when you consider there is always someone in a worse predicament than yourself. When life seems to be on a steady decline, recognize the areas in which you are blessed. By doing this you are taking a big, powerful step towards the beginning of a brand new positive outlook on life.

Viewing things objectively by detaching ourselves can often be a quite difficult task. Any pessimistic thoughts or attitudes towards a given situation are only likely to compound the problem. Consider the situation of someone with a depressive illness; by the illness causing situations to appear far worse than they actually are, and other subsequent events needing to be dealt with are often interpreted in negative terms as well. This is where the downward spiral can begin.

There are situations where pessimism would be the appropriate attitude. If you misplace your optimism or denial towards any given situation, the result can be just as damaging as any negative response or attitude. Finding the balance and seeking ways to hold our perceptions as well as our reactions in check is the trick to it all. It's important to hold gratitude as a counterbalance, thereby focusing on any problem we are experiencing.

Do I Have That Much To Be Grateful For?

A large number of us barely scratch the surface when it comes to recognizing those things we should be grateful for. Many don't realize they are taking these positive things for granted, and sometimes forget to count their blessings. A good way to keep track of these positive aspects of our lives is by keeping a gratitude journal. Simply keeping a daily record of the things in life we should be grateful for, such as friends and family or celebration of a small stroke of luck has been proven to enhance happiness. Once the seeking out of positives in your life has been noted, it can easily amaze you at how many things you actually have to be grateful for.

Maintaining a Positive Attitude with a Gratitude Bracelet

The key to using gratitude as a tool for maintaining a positive attitude is regular reinforcement. Gratitude journals work by reminding ourselves on a daily basis of the good things in our lives. A gratitude bracelet can work in a similar way. Every time you put it on, take it off or look at it during the day, it can remind you of the many reasons you have to be happy - no matter how many you have to be discontented.

The choice of your gratitude bracelet can be something to remind you in a general fashion all things positive in your life. You can, however, choose a bracelet that will have a specific, deeper meaning to it. Maybe its particular beads will serve as a reminder of all things positive and enriching in your life, such as health, people, nature or pets. Or maybe you will choose it because the particular color reminds you of some positive sentiments you feel when you look at it, such as the same color of a loved one's eyes or some sort of material which leaves you with that warm feeling you have had at some point in your life, and associate it with love and happiness..

Once there is a positive connection made between you and your gratitude bracelet there will be an endless number of opportunities to be reminded of the positive things in your life. Consider giving a gratitude bracelet as a gift, and not only are you blessing that person with the opportunity to remember their personal reasons of gratitude, they will also think of you as the person who gave them this priceless chance to remember all other reasons they have to be grateful. - 15683

How To Save On Health Care When There Is An Economy Crisis

By Alexandra Vrugt

Taking care of your family's health is one of the hardest and most expensive parts of managing a household. With the cost of doctor's visits skyrocketing and fewer employers offering health care benefits, how can a family have their health care needs met? It can happen! Many of your family's health care expenses can be decreased using the same cost saving techniques that you use for daily household budgeting. Here are a few money saving strategies for getting a more positive outlook for your family's health care expenses:

Taking advantage of referral bonuses! Many practitioners offer referral bonuses or reduced pricing on health care services when their clients bring in new business. It makes sense for everyone involved. You get a discount, the doctor gets the business, and the person that you are referring gets to have peace of mind knowing that their health care professional has been proven to be good.

Buy generic drugs. There is plenty of scientific evidence that shows that the "name brand" drugs are no more effective than the generics. Actually, the generics you can buy for cheap and still have a few dollars left for other medical expenses. But, if you pay for the name brands, you can expect to pay an arm and a leg. Doesn't $1 or $2 sound better for a 30-day supply than an over-budget price of $200 for the same thing?

Watching for eyeglasses deals! You will see them throughout the year, but especially around back to school time. These eyeglasses deals usually can range from as high as discounts of 50-75% to actually free specs for certain family members. Additionally, there are always loads of coupons in the Sunday newspaper that can be used for reduced pricing or buy-one-get-one deals on glasses. If your family is low to moderate income, check your child's school or the local hospital which usually knows or offers children free eyeglasses to ensure that they are able to perform properly in school.

Grab those gift cards! Many drug stores offer actual money or store gift cards when you transfer your prescription to them. Unless you are in a deep relationship with the pharmacist, you could get lots of cash and gifts just by switching stores! For many people, this is a no-brainer and they do it every time they get a new prescription.

Use those coupons! Sunday newspapers and circulars are full of coupons for discounts on medicines and health care services. You can always find ways of saving, cost cutting, or getting freebies if you just stay on the look out.

Healthcare is a part of life, but it doesn't have to be a financial burden for your family. Look for deals and opportunities for saving. Cost comparisons and coupons will help you to know when the best time is to make certain health care decisions. But, always remember to do what will work best for your family and their health even when the world is experiencing an economy crisis! - 15683

Issues On Diabetic Diet

By Donald Jeff

For a diabetic a diabetic diet is very important to managing their condition, and in some cases even working towards reversing it. If you're a diabetic then it's wise to cut the amount of fats and carbohydrates you consume.

The diabetic diet can help people who suffer from both major types of diabetes. In general there are two types of this disease - type I diabetes which is generally diagnosed in children and young adults and was previously called juvenile diabetes, and type II diabetes which is a more common form of diabetes. Type I diabetics suffer because their bodies don't produce insulin, while Type II diabetics suffer because their cells don't absorb insulin. A diabetic diet addresses both types, but type II can actually be avoided or reversed with the proper diet.

In general the diabetic diet is geared towards attaining ideal body weight for controlling and managing diabetes. There is a simple formula for calculating the estimated ideal bodyweight for any person. In women add five pounds to 100 for every inch above five feet, and subtract five pounds from 100 for every inch under five feet. For example a 5'2" woman would ideally weigh 110 pounds. Men add 6 pounds to 106 for every inch over 5 feet tall. A 5'11" man would ideally weigh 172 pounds.

The ideal formula for a diabetic diet varies, but there are some common basics. For a person with type I diabetes diet should be approximately 35 calories per kilogram of body weight per day, that's 16 calories per pound of body weight per day. That means a 160 pound man should eat about 2500 calories per day. Type II people should lose weight by eating as little as 1500 calories daily, then refer to the type I formula to maintain ideal weight.

Carbohydrates account for about 50% of the calories consumed in a diabetic diet. Some argue that less carbohydrates are better, but there are advantages to cutting down the fat. People who avoid saturated fats, even if they take in overall more mono and poly unsaturated fats, also do well. - 15683

How To Save On Health Care When There Is An Economy Crisis

By Alexandra Vrugt

Healthcare can be very expensive, but it is something that we all will need throughout our lives. You can avoid some of the high costs and still give your family the quality health care services and products that they need by using some of the same budgeting techniques that you use for your household's other expenses. Truth is, there are plenty of health care products services and products that you can buy for cheap...especially during this economy crisis that we are all facing. The following are health care saving strategies that you can use in a number of ways. Save money and get the health care products and services that you and your family need by:

Taking advantage of referral bonuses! Many practitioners offer referral bonuses or reduced pricing on health care services when their clients bring in new business. It makes sense for everyone involved. You get a discount, the doctor gets the business, and the person that you are referring gets to have peace of mind knowing that their health care professional has been proven to be good.

Generic drugs work! Studies show that you don't always need those high priced designer drugs. In fact, filling your prescriptions with the generic version of the drug may not only reduce your co-pay, it may eliminate it all together. Many insurance companies will not charge patients additional fees for using generic drugs when they are available. Even if the copay is only reduced for using the generic drug as opposed to the high end version, just think of all of the things that you can do with the money that you saved! Plus, isn't it better to pay $1 or $2 for a 30-day supply than $200 for a designer original? Truth is, the drugs are manufactured to do the exact same thing and they go through rigorous testing before they end up on the shelves of your local pharmacy. So, there is nothing to fear. Get the off-brand and save your cash for more exciting things.

Watching for eyeglasses deals! You will see them throughout the year, but especially around back to school time. These eyeglasses deals usually can range from as high as discounts of 50-75% to actually free specs for certain family members. Additionally, there are always loads of coupons in the Sunday newspaper that can be used for reduced pricing or buy-one-get-one deals on glasses. If your family is low to moderate income, check your child's school or the local hospital which usually knows or offers children free eyeglasses to ensure that they are able to perform properly in school.

Looking out for free money and gift cards! Most pharmacies offer some type of financial incentive to switch your prescription to them. The incentive can range from actual money to store based gift cards. Either way, you get to buy some stuff that you would not otherwise have had the cash for and they get to service your prescription needs. Don't get locked into a "relationship" with a pharmacy. Take advantage every time that there exists an opportunity to switch. Hey...free money is free money!

Clipping those coupons! Check the local circulars, the in-store flyers, and the Sunday newspaper for coupons for different health care services and products. You may be surprised at what you can actually get for free. From exams to drug samples, these coupons may end up being a lifesaver for you or someone in your family.

When it comes to saving, cost conscious customers can get the discounts every time with a little research and effort. Even in an economy crisis, you and your family can be well taken care of and can have all of your health care needs met on the cheap! - 15683

Diamond Jewely for Men Can Be a Good Choice

By Ernst Ralborg

The ladies have it easy when it comes to choosing diamond pendants and necklaces. There are very few designs that are out the window when it comes to jewelry for women, and there are tons of designers out there that are lined up, waiting to cater to women.

But what about the men who want to get in on the diamond action? What designs options do they have? There are some men's jewelry stereotypical pendants, like crosses and nuggets, but when a man wants to step out of that territory, what kind of options do they have? Where can they find operational men's jewelry?

Custom Jewelry Designs for Men

The answer that men may be looking for to solve their jewelry dilemma may be custom jewelry design. By going to a custom jewelry designer, men can get exactly what they want, exactly how they want it. Designs are limited only by the man's imagination, from a simple bezel cut setting that holds his mother's diamond to something else entirely - they can be as unique and as wild (or not) as the man wants them to be. Who says men can't even wear engagement rings?

Another great thing a specialist jewelry designer can do is to take a pre-existing symbol that has some meaning for the man, like a symbol of the company for which he works or some organization to which he belongs and then incorporate that into a jewelry design. From geometric shapes and freeform shapes to pre-drawn designs, custom made jewelry has very few limits. If you are a little short on ideas, get some input from the jewelry designer, who should be able to give you some great inspiration for putting the piece together.

Picking the Right Stone

Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but there is no reason men can't enjoy keeping the company of a nice looking diamond. If the traditional white diamond feels a little too girly for a guy, go for a colored diamond. Although these colored diamonds are called browns and blacks, you can find them in any color under the sun. A non white diamond may be just the ticket for adding a little bit of masculinity to your jewelry design.

More and more men are wearing jewelry these days, and there is no reason why you can't be one of them. There is lots of jewelry that is created with men in mind, and if you can't find exactly what you want, you can always use one of your own custom designs. Why should the girls have all the fun? - 15683

Finding Stylish Clothes for Those Over 40

By Tessa W. Adachi

Now just what is a beautiful, sexy woman who is 40+ supposed to do when they really don't have anything suitable to wear? What clothing options are available for us when we need an outfit that combines elegance, style and form flattering fit? Apparently many designers and retailers think that stylish clothing is only important to younger women.

Women in the 20 to 30 age bracket desire to look great, but so too do ladies who are 40 and over. Given the appropriate choices this group of mature ladies know how to dress to accentuate their curves and draw attention to their best features. It should not be hard for woman, regardless of age, to find attractive clothing.

By the looks of fashions today the designers and owners of department stores must think that women over 40 are no longer attractive. We need to start making some racket and let them know what we want in our clothes. The women of this age group feel like they are in the prime of their lives, and stand proud! These women are confident and too fashion oriented to accept less than flattering, age appropriate styles in the clothes they buy.

Many mature women look years younger but can't find trendy, age appropriate outfits that reflect the classy elegance they want. Just because a 40+ woman looks like a 30 year old does not mean she wants to dress like them. There must be some clothing options available for women besides those made for "Funky Diva" and "Granny Green"

Quality clothing in sizes 10 through 30 appear to be out of reach for today's designers who seem to focus entirely on the 16 to 35 age group. They need to wake up and cash in on the largest section of the beautiful women in this world. With close to 3.5 million women aged 45-65, all with money to spend, designers will find the 40 plus women to be an untapped goldmine.

Mature women often have certain body changes that they want to address when choosing new outfits. They can flatter their body shapes if they look for tailored garments that fit well. Trying to camouflage some extra weight with a shapeless top makes you look much heavier. A larger waistline will benefit from a skirt that has a side zipper or a flat fitting front panel. Pleats will only add the look of excess pounds and should be avoided.

Jeans and slacks that are tailored and have the wider legs from hip to ankle can lend to a slimmer, taller look. Don't shy away from bold designs or colours in your wardrobe. Select tops that have room enough for your bust. Have nice colourful designs at the neckline to bring the attention to your gorgeous face and away from problem areas of the body.

The over 40 group of women have found that shopping on the Internet is a great way of finding the stylish, age appropriate clothes that they desire. There are many online stores and new people designing for this age group. Many merchants online carry the hard to find sizes for plus sized women and many new styles are being advertised everyday. These same women, that used to feel unappreciated in their local department stores, have now found a refreshing place to shop through online stores, where they are finally discovering a huge variety of available fashions. - 15683

Hoodia For A Weight Loss Program

By Jason Carlson

A new diet supplement to recently come on the scene is made from a South African cactus called hoodia gordonii. Hoodia has been used for many years by south african bushmen to stave off the effects of hunger. Recently a 60 minutes special gave mass exposure to hoodia as a diet supplement and found it to be very effective without any side effects.

As obesity continues to grow all around the globe, people are aggressively searching for ways to fight the growing global problem. For many people were Hoodia is the solution for them. It is all natural and has shown to have no negative side effects.

Drug companies have tried to re-create the Hoodia compound synthetically but they have not found one yet. Until a synthetic version is available, the only real Hoodia available is the South African.

Hoodia has yet to undergo a double blind study to determine its effectiveness as a weight loss supplement, but reports from users paint a positive picture. There are no reported side effects from hoodia and it can really keep a dieter from getting hungry.

There are many companies fighting for a marketshare of hoodia and it has become very competitive. Also, there are many weight-loss supplements that are now using Hoodia is one of the ingredients.

Many companies are fighting to capture their piece of the market share of the Hoodia product. In addition, Hoodia is being used as an active ingredient in many weight loss supplements. Even though, it is the recommended to use pure Hoodia to get the maximum effect.

When you take hoodia it is still important to eat a sensible diet and exercise regularly. Exercising at least 30 minutes per day is very important. If you are serious about weight loss, try to exercise daily and add hoodia diet pills to your diet regimen.

Before you start any diet regimen, make sure you speak to your doctor. Only your doctor and you can determine if any diet or product makes sense for you and your specific health situation. - 15683

How to Stick To Your Diet For the Long Term

By Kim Archer

Have you been searching for a diet that you won't abandon? Lots of people can't maintain their willpower and they give up before they lose the weight they wanted to. Try these tips for finding a healthy weight loss program that you can live with for life.

It makes no difference if you're embarking on your first diet or you've been through all of them at one time or another. It's possible to find a plan and stick to it until you get to the weight you want to be. Those who have successfully lost weight and kept it off realize that they can eat anything, just in moderation.

Your first step is to look for a diet program that isn't ridiculously strict. No doubt you've come across plenty of these. Some of them place restrictions on protein, carbohydrates or any and all white foods. Some will require that you diet in cycles, starting and stopping until you're skinny. This puts your body in a position where it's constantly trying to adapt to these dramatic changes, both physically and emotionally.

The only thing you'll lose is your healthy eating habits if you choose to fast and binge, even if it's good food you're choosing. As well, your body will become confused from the conflicting messages it's receiving. One day you're loading up on massive amounts of lean protein, vegetables and complex carbohydrates. The next you're surviving on nothing but hot water with honey and red pepper mixed in.

Rather, look for a plan that teaches you to eat healthfully every day for the rest of your life. It's perfectly alright to have the occasional treat or enjoy a glass of wine. Therefore you won't be all over the place with your eating habits. You'll be on a balanced course that's safe for your body and easy on your emotions.

When you're considering various sources of weight loss advice, think about it as a lifetime way of eating before you make a decision. Could you live without ever having a sweet treat again? Can you imagine never having a slice of bread again?

There are diets that promise that you'll lose your old cravings and you'll be able to stay with it for life. But if you slip up, you will quickly gain back the weight, leading to discouragement and causing you to quit.

Any diet you undertake will cause you some difficulty as you get used to the restrictions. Still, there are many plans that offer sensible ways to eat where you never have to leave an entire food group off of your plate. Stay away from fad diets. Rather, make the decision to find a diet that you can live with for life. - 15683

7 Mistakes That Kill Your Time In The Gym

By Victoria Jamison

When you're in the gym, there are a lot of distractions. It seems, these days, my gym time is always battling with other things that can seem more important. When I do finally get in the gym, I'm careful to not waste my time on these 7 items.

1 - Don't work out too much! Sounds contradictory? It's not. I know of people who spend 90 minutes on cardio, then another hour on weights and who knows how much time researching the latest supplements. You're body can only benefit from a certain amount of exercise. Go over that amount and it's all wasted.

2. Resting to long- If your goal is to lose unwanted body fat and stay lean, you should keep your rest between sets and exercises to a minimum. Thirty to sixty seconds is all you need. This isn't time to talk with your friends. Set up time after your workout if you schedule can accommodate it.

3. Going without a plan of attack- Have your routine ready before you set foot in the gym. Going without a plan of action is like building a house without blueprints. In the beginning of your new life in the gym, you'll probably have to check your workout plan a few time while you're there. That's ok!

4. Not having a backup plan- There is nothing more frustrating then going to the gym with your plan in hand and someone is already using the machine! Having a backup plan ensures you spend more of your time in the gym exercising and less time feeling frustrated. If someone is using the chest machine, no big deal: Do push-ups instead.

5 - Get intense! Push yourself further than you thought you could go. Physical gains don't happen when you're barely pushing yourself. You need to be going to failure on almost every exercise. Even if you're just building strength and have no interest in bulk, you should still work to failure, just at a higher level. Remember, bulk comes between 8 and 10 reps and strength comes when you're doing between 12 and 15.

6. Not using your full range of motion- If you are not using your full range of motion when performing your exercises, you can be sure that you are wasting your time. Be sure you are using correct form to be sure you are getting the results you desire.

7. Not seeking the advice of a professional- If all the top athletes have coaches and professional trainers, don't you think you could use their advice? Having a trainer will help you to get further along in your training then trying to do it by yourself. He or she will help you to use proper form, technique, rep ranges, tempo, rest intervals and exercise combinations to maximize your results and minimize your frustrations

That's it. The top 7 things that could be wasting your time in the gym. Maybe all 7 didn't apply to you directly, but there's something there you can do to improve the quality of your workouts. Pick one item and focus on that for a week. Then pick another one. Pretty soon you'll be maximizing your time in the gym. - 15683

By Haiyan Lai-Heskin

400,000 deaths each year may be attributed to obesity. Studies have shown that obesity and heart disease are inevitably linked. You also have a higher chance of getting diabetes Type 2 when you are obese.

Butter, eggs, whole milk, cream, meat, fish and poultry fats, and cheese in various combinations is the outstanding fats are being eaten daily in the United States and Europe.

As protein or carbohydrate contain four calories each per gram, that is less half of the amount of calories than these fats which at 9 calories per gram.

By reducing the fat intake will dramatically help you to lose weight. Researchs show that the reduction of fat content in the national diet have many effect on the number of deaths from heart attack.

Strong evidence has shown by pathologists, doctors, and medical researchers that when the arteries were correspondingly high in the degree of damage or destruction by atherosclerosis, the blood cholesterol and fats are high.

Contact lenses for vision correction

By Dr. Gerald Vision

Daily disposable contact lenses are the most convenient and affordable lenses. Daily disposable lenses can be used in the day and can be thrown away at night before you go to sleep. A daily disposable lens does not cost much and there is no cleaning and maintaining of lenses on a daily basis. These are the healthiest contact lenses a person could wear and are ideal for people who have allergies. A daily disposable lens costs USD 1 or above. It is very cheap and could save people a lot of time daily. It is perfect for busy people. There are other types of disposable contact lenses such as weekly and monthly disposable lenses. Nowadays there are some weekly and monthly contact lenses available, which can even be worn at night, but it is advisable not to use such contact lenses. Many Ophthalmologists suggest not using any contact lenses while you sleep. Disposable contact lenses are the most common type of lenses today. Normal or standard contact lenses are usually used for a period of six months to a year.

Tears in the eyes contain lipids, proteins and calcium, which can build up on the contact lenses. These deposits on the lenses could make the person feel uncomfortable and sometimes could lead to allergies or infections. Even before disposable lenses were introduced the doctors used to suggest people to change their lenses frequently as it was a healthy thing to do. But contacts were very expensive and many lens cleaners were introduced to increase the life of the lens. Later on contact lens manufacturers started manufacturing contact lenses using latest technology and manufacturing methods to produce quality lenses at low prices. It is also said that because of increasing competition among the contact lens manufacturers it has lead to the cheap disposable contact lenses. Disposable contact lenses are affordable for a common man and can be replaced quite often. Most of the disposable lenses today are made from the same material as traditional lenses.

Bifocal contact lenses are for people who have a condition called presbyopia. In the case of presbyopia, the person has to hold any reading material away from the eyes to read it clearly. Bifocal contact lenses are available in soft and rigid gas permeable materials and nowadays are also available in disposable form. Disposable bifocal contact lenses were first available in the year 1999. Even daily disposable bifocal contact lenses, which can be used throughout the day and discarded at night, are available. Bifocal lenses may not suit every ones eyes. It also takes some time for people to adjust to the contact lenses. Bifocal contact lenses do work like the bifocal eyeglasses.

Nowadays we have seen many movies where the use of theatrical contact lenses designed in various colors and styles providing special effects. These contact lenses are normally used to match the costumes and create a great look. There are various contact lenses designed like football, flags of different countries, animals etc. These are the craze with today's younger generation. Many crazy contact lenses are manufactured and available in various brand names.

There are different websites providing great offers for contact lenses. Many websites promise to provide free shipping. You just have to mention your eye prescription and the contact lenses are shipped to your doorstep. Most of the online providers accept credit cards. Some of the main brands for contact lenses are Acuvue, Biomedics, Focus, Optima, Proclear, Soflens, Sureview and Versaflex.

There are various types of contact lenses like vial lenses, toric lenses, colored contact lenses bifocal lenses and gas permeable lenses. All these lenses are normally available online. It is advisable to contact a licensed eye care professional before you purchase any contact lenses. The ophthalmologist is the right person who can suggest the use of a particular type of lens. If you have shortsightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism or presbyopia contact lenses could suit you. It is recommended to follow his suggestions. The doctor's prescription should always be shown to the contact lens retailer before you purchase it.

A contact lens is a soft, thin and oval or round in shape. They are of a size of a small button. They are placed between the natural tears and the eye. Just like a normal eyeglass these contact lenses are placed in the eye and not far from the eye like the old styled eyeglasses. The younger generations do prefer contact lenses than eyeglasses. The introduction of new manufacturing techniques and cutthroat competition has made the contact lenses affordable to a common man. It is advised to consult an eye doctor before you purchase any contact lens, whether disposable or regular one. Disposable contact lenses have many positive effects on your eyes than that of a normal one. Whether you are a person who commutes daily to office, a sportsperson, architect etc disposable contact lenses would be the perfect choice. Just wear it in the morning and before you go to bed remove it, that's all. No cleaning or any other time wasting. Many websites do provide discounts on daily disposable contact lenses and you could also get a better deal if you purchase contact lenses for a certain period of time.

Always get a prescription for your contact lenses before buying it. It is prohibited to sell and purchase lenses without a prescription from the eye doctor in the United States. Even if you buy contact lenses online, find out if the website is registered and also note whether they ask for your prescription. Buy contact lenses only from reputed dealers. - 15683

Is Hoodia Gordonii a Good Appetite Suppressant?

By Caitlin Ryan

Are you looking for a way to obtain a gorgeous body? Does temptation get in the way of sticking to a healthy weight loss plan and achieving the beautiful physique you desire? What if there was a natural way to control your appetite without nasty side effects and give you the boost you need to succeed at weight loss?

Hoodia gordonii has become a very popular weight loss aid. It is helping hundreds of people like you find the willpower they need to succeed at weight loss. There are other appetite suppressants on the market. Some are stronger, some are less expensive, but how do they measure up against hoodia gordonii liquid supplements?

There are certain things to consider when looking for an appetite suppressant. Once you understand what goes into the efficacy of an appetite suppressant, you will be able to choose which one is best for your needs.

Strong appetite suppressants often contain stimulants such as caffeine or ginseng. If you are at all sensitive to caffeine, you may not feel very well if you take these types of weight loss aids. Many people feel jittery effects. If you have any heart problems, stimulant appetite suppressants may not be the best choice.

Hoodia gordonii does not have any known side effects, although diabetics should not take hoodia because of how it works. The active ingredient in hoodia gordonii is p57. This molecule suppresses appetite because it mimics glucose. We feel hungry when blood glucose levels drop and the brain sends a signal to create the sensation of hunger. This action may have a negative effect on the ability of a diabetic to control glucose levels.

This is partially why hoodia makes such a great choice in boosting your weight loss efforts. It does so in a more natural way then strong stimulant suppressants.

Cost is always a consideration when you are purchasing a weight loss aid. There are some expensive products on the market! Hoodia should not be terribly expensive, but it should not be cheap either for a very good reason.

Because hoodia became so popular, the South African government had to place restrictions on the sale of this cactus. In order to purchase pure hoodia gordonii, companies need to be CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) certified. Now the supply is lower and the demand is just as great. For this reason, black markets popped up and some weight loss companies purchase illegal, fake hoodia.

Obviously, if the company purchase hoodia illegally, the fake hoodia will be ineffective. Now you have wasted the money you spent and you will still have difficult sticking to a weight loss plan. The other scenario is a weight loss company that uses to little hoodia (to save on production cost and make a higher profit). Again, this would be a poor quality substitute for the pure hoodia supplements.

Many types of weight loss aids are sold in diet pill form, including hoodia. However, hoodia is also available in liquid form making it more efficient because it hits your system that much faster. You can expect appetite control much faster this way and see the end results (the gorgeous, slender body) that much faster. - 15683

Find Out What Causes Acne And How To Get Rid of It

By Dan da Silva

Acne is one of the most common skin problems affecting people worldwide and a general misconception is that acne affects only teenagers, but many are surprised to learn that adults also suffer from this same inconvenience. In fact nearly 90 percent of people suffer from acne sometime in their lifetime and while acne is dreaded, it usually shows up during our teenage years and fortunately, many people outgrow it.

While the naturally occurring oil we produce called sebum does in fact clog the hair follicles, it is not the only substance to blame for the condition of acne and neither is oily skin either. Acne seems to be a condition that is not necessarily a natural one and something that past generations did not suffer with.

Among the many causes of clogged pores are the use of makeup, everyday air particles and often a simple case of hormonal changes but while acne is a part of life for many individuals, it can be effectively treated. Many other factors contribute to the formation of acne and some debate that diet impacts the formation of acne, caused by reprocessed foods, junk foods, and sugars this contemporary society eats every day.

More persistent cases of acne will probably need stronger medication which can be prescribed by a dermatologist. Having a dermatologist treat the condition is not such a bad idea as he or she will be able to better check on how well the treatment is he prescribed. It is very important to avoid aggravating, or disrupting, any and all acne blemishes otherwise, the sufferer will face a possible bacterial infection from dirt or germs that may reside underneath the fingernails.

Many believe for example that just because their fingernails appear clean, there is nothing to worry about but that's simply not true as there are many germs and bacteria, which are not visible to the naked eye. It is for this very reason that anyone who suffers with acne should not touch their acne with their bare hands.

Research has shown that if your parents had acne, you'll probably have it as well and very few people have perfect skin, so it is a very common skin disorder among almost every single person. Although the likelihood is that you will suffer from acne during your years at school and college.

Acne can cause emotional problems for sufferers, especially when they are young so it is advisable that the opinion of a dermatologist be sought for further treatment. If you are unsure about you own situation then contact your local dermatologist of family physician as the information provided here is for guidance only and not a replacement for the opinion of a medical professional. - 15683

Europeans in Tip-Top Shape - No Fat

By Joshua Seth

What we view in our everyday world, we come to view as normal. Take on a new perspective and all that changes. This is why travel used to be considered an essential part of education.

This past week, I have been performing my hypnosis show on a cruise ship in Europe. It has been awesome (honestly, I can hardly believe I get paid to do this stuff!). Ive seen many wonders of the ancient world (the Colosseum in Rome, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, the ruins of Pompeii). And everywhere I go there is scrumptuous local food to sample (gelato in Monaco, grilled octopus in Greece, Pizza in Naples). And everything tastes different than it does in America.

Yes, the familiar foods even tastes different. Pizza tastes different, The crusts are thinner and the sauces less sweet. There are no fast food restaurants that I have seen. Instead they have little shops open to the street that have freshly prepared sandwiches and baguettes behind glass. Not burgers and fries. In general, the foods are served in smaller portions, are less sugary, and are more commonly made from locally grown ingredients. They are NOT of full of additives and preservatives and chemicals. They are simple, fresh, and local. Perhaps its no small coincidence that I have seen very few overweight Europeans in these areas.

Plus, the fact that they get outside and walk more has something to do with this as well. You dont see everyone staring at TVs or laptop screens or plugged into cell phones and iPods. They really are walking around and talking with one another. But I digress.

In many places worldwide they have a leaner, fitter population than the United States. I notice this every time Im in Australia and New Zealand too. I think were slowly killing ourselves in the States with the foods we eat and the lifestyles we lead. Personally Id rather pay a bit more for my food and only eat fresh food than consume all the chemicals that most of our prepackaged foods now contain.

120 million Americans are now obese (according to the governments own statistics). Thats a third of our population. Many of these people will develop other disease as a result of this condition, like diabetes, heart disease, and certain kinds of cancer. This is not the case in Europe and most of the rest of the world. Were doing this to ourselves. Its time to stop this madness and do something about it.

* Dont eat something just because its cheap or its fast or its convenient.

* Dont eat food just because its on your plate and you feel obligated to finish it.

* Eat food because your body needs it to replenish itself and restore its energy.

* Learn to reconnect your mind with your body.

* Know what its like to feel really satisfied after a meal instead of stuffed full.

* Know what a real tomato tastes like.

* Take back your life.

As you view your surrounding, what you see isnt normal, its the sad result of the disconnection of our minds from our bodies and our bodies from the land on which we live. Weve been trained to think that following diets and counting calories are the roadmaps to fitness and good health. Its much simpler than that.

If you'd visit the Greek Isles or Cote dAzur in France and youd see that you can be absolutely perfectly satisfied with a freshly baked baguette, some olive oil, herbs, and tomatoes picked from from the garden out back, with perhaps a a small bit of protein and a single glass of red wine. Consume slowly with a beautiful companion and enjoy while overlooking the sea on a sun drenched afternoon.

No rules. Just life as it was meant to be lived. Simple, satisfying, and free.

Answers to Your Questions About Plastic Surgery

By Ricardo Gibson

Are those celebrities really that beautiful? Yes. Is it natural? Not all the often. How can this be? Well, let me introduce you to the magic of plastic surgery. Fighting the battle against aging has never been so successful.

The world of plastic surgery is filled with a lot of assumptions and myths. Does it hurt? Does it last? Will I look like this person in a magazine? There are so many questions, that it is hard to know where to start answering them, but we will try.

The plastic surgery you read about really only represents half of the field. The other half, reconstructive surgery, is less glamorous, but more important. It is used to return a body to a normal state. Doing skin grafts on a badly burned patient is reconstructive plastic surgery.

In contract, elective surgery is the more well known area of plastic surgery. It is a voluntary surgery undertaken to enhance some part of your body that bothers you. Put another way, there is no medical reason for the surgery.

A surgical procedure involves trauma to the body. When you pierce the skin, you are doing damage. While plastic surgery is designed to ultimately create a better look, there are risks. Any surgery has risks, so make sure to discuss them with your surgeon first.

Will the recovery time be long? The answer depends entirely on the type of surgery you have. A facelift is going to require two to four weeks of recovery time. Liposuction of your abdominal area will be much shorter, while a nose job can take a month for the bruises to go away.

Does plastic surgery hurt? Minor procedures like Botox injections do not. More significant procedures like a facelift will. The more trauma to the body, the more pain, swelling and bruising. Your doctor will prescribe you pain medication.

Can I look like my favorite celebrity? Probably not. Every person has different anatomical characteristics. If you are not their twin, you will not look like them. The goal is to enhance YOUR look, not change you to look like someone else.

Many people dismiss plastic surgeons, but this is a mistake. They are trained professionals. They go through medical school like any doctor and then train another six years before getting their license.

What will my surgery cost? Well, your doctor can tell you. Make sure to get his fee as well as any incidental costs so you know the grand total. This fee total should also be put in writing for your benefit.

General questions and answers can only go so far when discussing medicine. The real fountain of knowledge is your surgeon. Make a list of questions and run them by him or her to get answers about your specific situation. - 15683

Evercleanse Colon Cleansing - A Brief Review

By Peter Wood

Evercleanse has gained quite a bit of popularity recently, but is it all it's cracked up to be? This Evercleanse review will look at the product itself as well as the company behind Evercleanse to see if it is right for you.

Like other colon cleanse products on the market, the Evercleanse colon system contains 3 parts. The first is to break down the unwanted waste in the colon. The second is to remove this waste and all bad bacteria and replenish the organ with the good pathogens that it needs. The third to help support and maintain the colon after the cleanse. Will the ingredients do what is promised? The ingredient in Evercleanse actually look fairly decent, so the product itself looks ok.

The other thing to look at when deciding between colon cleanse products is the company behind the product. In terms of marketing, their website is nice and professional, but they use testimonials that are difficult/impossible to verify (they have no name, location, etc). I don't put much stock in testimonials anyway since they are so easily made up.

The fulfillment company associated with Evercleanse, 3PL Worldwide Inc, also received an 'F' grade by the Better Business Bureau. Now, it's difficult to say how close the two companies are, but it's still something that's worth noting.

Another red flag for Evercleanse is the fact that they provide no money back guarantee. The fact that you can't return the product if you dont' like it instills absolutely no confidence in their product. While digging through their website I also found that unless you request otherwise, they may be selling your email address to other companies that provide products that you 'might find interesting.' This practice is always frowned upon and paints a less attractive picture of Evercleanse.

As far as cost goes, Evercleanse is about average. It will cost you close to $60 for a 2 week supply and about $100 for a 6 week supply.

In conclusion, the Evercleanse product itself gets an ok review. The company behind the product, however, makes it look as though there may be some reason for caution. The decision is ultimately yours, but just make sure that you do your homework before passing over your hard earned money. - 15683

Excellent Methods For A Body Colon Cleanse

By Ann Triune

The colon is one of the most-used digestive part of the body. If your colon is not cleansed regularly, it can be shocking to know that up to 8 meals of undigested food could be stuck in your colon. All this waste and toxins stops several parts of your digestive system from functioning properly. This means a handful of health conditions including chronic constipation and flatulence. Eventually your immune system will be affective, and other more serious health conditions could arise. Fortunately there are a number of ways we can fight against the ill effects of a dirty colon. Let's find out more on how we can cleanse our colon.

A common, effective method is Hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy works by eliminating old and hardened waste found in the colon. In this case, a tool is used to flush warm water in the rectum and eventually flush waste and toxins out of the body. The procedure may be uncomfortable at first, but just takes a bit of getting used to. The whole process could take just a number of minutes to complete. Many have benefited from this procedure and have claimed to have better skin and overall feeling after a couple of sessions.

Another popular method in cleansing the colon is enema. Enemas could be made of plain water, a clay mixture or a coffee mixture. Enemas are considered extremely cheap as a colon cleansing method that can be used conveniently at home. However, they are not very effective in cleansing the lower half of the colon and eliminating mucoid plaque.

An inexpensive alternative can be herbal cleansers. Herbal cleansers are just as effective and another good thing about them is that they are safe to use. Some herbs that make products quite effective are bentonite clay, slippery elm and aloes. Herbal cleansers often provide more than just single action. Each herb is included to target different elements that cause unwanted health conditions. For instance, bentonite clay acts as a mild laxative while slippery elm and aloes contain soothing properties that help improve overall health.

You may also use oxygen based products if you want to increase the effectiveness of other methods. However, you need to consult your doctor first if you want to take more than one product or use more than one method to cleanse your colon. Oxygen based products are scientifically formulated with magnesium and oxygen. They do work, but slowly as stool is liquefied and eliminated.

What you eat can affect how dirty your colon will get. There are foods that help cleanse your colon and other foods that worsen its condition. Fasting is often recommended to cleanse the colon, and this includes going on a liquid only diet for a number of weeks or consuming only fruit and/or vegetable juices.

These methods are like hitting two birds with one stone. These are also great ways to lose weight. However effective fasting is, it is still considered very inconvenient to some people, as it has very strict requirements that may be very difficult to follow. Generally, foods that are good for your colon are those high in fiber. You should eat more vegetables and drink lots of fresh juices and water. Great foods for your colon include bran cereals and multigrain breads.

Of course, don't just sit all day and expect to cleanse your colon effectively. As with many other methods to keep healthy, you should couple your diet and/or supplements with an exercise regimen. Good exercises for an effective colon cleanse include jogging, swimming, bicycling, walking, using the trampoline, stomach exercises and twisting exercises. - 15683
