Weight Loss Pills Explained

Within the pharmaceutical industry, obesity is now seen as the "trillion dollar disease". That's the estimated amount of profit a successful weight loss drug can expect to make. But are companies getting close to delivering a diet pill that really works - meaning, a pill that is both safe and effective at solving obesity? The answer, it seems, is No.

Pills To Reduce Obesity

It's true that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a tiny number of weight loss pills like Xenical and Meridia for long term use in the treatment of obesity (BMI > 30). But evidence accumulated in clinical trials suggests that the effectiveness of these obesity drugs is less than impressive. Total annual weight reduction tends to be in the range 8-20 pounds. Furthermore, the highest weight loss tends to be achieved by patients who participate in supervised trials involving a combination of drug treatment, diet, exercise and counseling. Which makes it difficult to ascertain the precise effect of the medication itself. By comparison, less well supervised obesity drug trials tend to have a higher drop-out rate and reduced weight loss. And the longer the trial, the lower the compliance and the lower the weight loss. In short, while helpful to some patients, weight loss drugs are not yet the answer to obesity, especially when factors like cost are taken into ac count.

Should we be surprised? Not really. After all, even bariatric surgery is no guarantee of long term weight loss unless patients comply with the necessary post-operative dietary regimen. Indeed, some obesity experts claim that medical interventions like drugs and surgery are almost by definition doomed to failure, for the simple reason that they take control and responsibility away from patients. According to this view, it is only when patients accept full responsibility for their eating habits and lifestyle, that they have a real chance of achieving a normal weight in the long term.

Unfortunately, this view satisfies no one! It doesn't satisfy the pharmaceutical companies, who need to make money. It doesn't satisfy doctors, who need to give hope to their overweight patients, and it doesn't satisfy consumers who want instant weight loss without having to change their eating habits. In short, there is an overwhelming demand for an obesity pill, but a viable product has yet to emerge.

Pills For Cosmetic Weight Loss

Demand for diet pills is not limited to those suffering from clinical obesity. Millions of consumers with less than 40 pounds to lose take non-prescription pills to burn off body fat or increase their rate of weight loss. According to a study conducted by the University of Michigan, almost 25 percent of girl students turn to anorectic diet pills when they're trying to lose weight, including laxatives and diuretics.

These non-prescription pills are more difficult to evaluate, as they are not subject to the same high level of regulation as prescription-only drugs. Thus not all ingredients need to be tested, dosages and other labeling requirements are less stringent, and reporting of "adverse events" or health problems is not mandatory. Furthermore, few long term clinical trials are conducted on non-prescription pills, so hard evidence as to their safety and efficacy is scarce. Meantime, the huge profits to be made from these weight loss products means they can be supported by expensive advertising campaigns to increase consumer acceptance, making regulation and control even more of an uphill struggle. Indeed, the FDA has found it almost impossible to ban over-the-counter diet pills, even after reports of illness and injury.

Herbal Diet Pills For "Healthy Eating"

The past five years has seen a huge rise in sales of herbal diet pills, which are marketed as a form of "healthy eating". These herbal supplements typically include a variable combination of vitamins and other active ingredients which supposedly offer a healthier type of weight loss. Such claims are not generally supported by clinical evidence, and some suppliers are under investigation by both the FDA and FTC. Nevertheless, rising demand for these herbal weight loss pills is yet another confirmation of our huge appetite for what is essentially a non-dietary approach to weight control.

How Do Weight Loss Pills Work?

In simple terms, weight loss pills are designed either to alter body chemistry in order to reduce appetite, or to interfere with digestion in order to reduce calorie absorption. Appetite suppressants include amphetamine-like stimulants such as ephedra, or pills to increase serotonin or norepinephrine levels in the brain. Pills that interfere with the digestive system include fat-blockers (lipase inhibitors) like Xenical and chitosan, carb-blockers, and very high fiber bulking agents such as glucomannan.

Are Weight Loss Pills Safe?

Obesity drugs are generally safe when used correctly and under medical supervision. The trouble starts when users do not follow the manufacturer's instructions. Adverse health events for these pharmaceuticals include heart or blood pressure problems and strokes, as well a range of less serious complaints. The same applies to non-prescription diet pills, whose adverse health effects include high blood pressure, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeats, dizziness, blurred vision, headaches, insomnia, intestinal blockages, anxiety and depression. In extreme cases, both prescription-only and non-prescription pills can cause life-threatening conditions. Even so, safety remains a relative concept. Cigarettes, alcohol, cars and stress kill millions of people every year. By comparison with these things, diet pills cause far fewer "casualties", and if you consult your doctor before taking them, you can reduce the health risk to a minimum.

The Real Problem With Weight Loss Pills

The biggest problem about relying on drugs and supplements to lose weight is not health, it's reliability. In my 20-odd years of dealing with overweight individuals and their families, I have yet to hear of anyone who achieved and maintained any significant weight loss by using pills. But I have met a huge number of people whose weight and emotional state of mind had been significantly worsened through the use of pills. They were afraid of food, they had absolutely no confidence in their ability to make sensible food choices, and tended to rely on purging, laxatives and similar products to control their eating habits. One client - a former annual weight loss winner with one of the major dieting companies - had been fed deliberately with pills in order to achieve the weight reduction that the organization required. When she came to me for help, she had regained 70 pounds of her original weight loss. In short, relying on pills for weight control can mess up your body and yo ur mind.

The Small Print Says It All

Advertisements and infomercials for diet pills are dominated by headlines like: "Effortless Weight Loss" or "Lose Weight While You Sleep!" and so on. But the small print often tells a different story - either that users should follow a calorie-controlled diet, or only eat at certain times of the day, or stop eating certain high-calorie foods, or some combination of all three. There may also be a reference to the need for exercise. In other words, if you want the truth about a weight loss pill, check the small print. Because, as all obesity experts and dietitians will tell you, no long term reduction in weight is possible without controlling energy intake and expenditure.

If You Must Take Pills

Whether you are a diet pill addict, or just an occasional user, here are two ways to make weight loss easier. Look for a healthy, gimmick-free diet, and follow it as carefully as you can. In the process, focus on healthy eating rather than calorie reduction. Aiming to eat healthily is much more positive than calorie control. Secondly, join an online dieting forum and get encouragement and advice from other people. Because all surveys show that losing weight is a lot easier when you have others to lean on. My own forum for instance includes a large number of former diet pill users who are now enjoying their food and losing significant amounts of weight in the process. Which proves that when it comes to weight control, people power is much more effective than popping pills.

What Is The Correct Dosage Of Glucosamine Supplement When Using It To Treat Arthritis?

By Steve Weber


Glucosamine is well known for being one of the safest medications available to treat Arthritis. Although there is very little threat involved, these dosages need to be administered properly to achieve substantial results. The dosage can vary according to the age and medical condition of the patient.

Glucosamine supplements are available as oral and topical products. Oral supplements can be a capsule, tablet, powder or liquid. Normally for Adults, the initial dosage is 1500mg of glucosamine per day. This can be broken down into a dosage of 500mg, three times a day. Certain publications have also recommended a dose of 20miligrams per kilogram of body mass once a day.

According to research studies, glucosamine produces better results, when combined with chondroitin. Hence, physicians have made it a practice to prescribe a dosage of 1500mg of glucosamine with 1200mg of chondroitin per day. This course usually runs for a term of 1-3 months. Once the initial treatment is over, the dosage can be brought down to 1000mg of glucosamine and 800mg of chondroitin.

Almost all supplements need to be consumed after meals, unless it is a topical application. Although glucosamine happens to be a dietary supplement, it is better not to give them to children. Since, very little testing has been done on this matter, it is better to be safe than sorry.

The dosage for pets is usually measured by the weight of the pet. If the pet is below 10 pounds, it is recommended to give a dose of 300mg of glucosamine per day. Pets between, 10 and 30 pounds are given a dose of 600mg, while 30-60 pound pets are given 1200 and all pets above 60 pounds are given a dose of 1800mg of glucosamine per day. A chondroitin supplement of 125mg, 250mg, 500mg and 700mg can be included in the diet respectively.

There are over 50 companies that produce glucosamine MSM supplements worldwide. However, not all these products are of high quality and standard. You may come across certain brands that are cheap but they may not have the quality you are looking for. It is better to take a high dosage of a good brand for a short period of time rather than a high dosage of a cheap brand. Cheaper brands may seem economical at first but ultimately you will not achieve anything if the supplement cannot produce the desired results.

The information provided in this article is only a guide to understand the different dosing methods followed by physicians with regard to Glucosamine with chondroitin. Even if you are familiar with these concepts, it is safer to follow the instructions of a Doctor and allow him or her to monitor your dosage.

Marijuana Grow Ops

By Castulo Zane


When houses or buildings are used by the drug trade to grow marijuana, those buildings are referred to as grow ops. When they are in residences they are termed grow houses. Police forces say that there are at least 50,000 grow ops in Canada.

Grow ops are everywhere, and their numbers increase every day. They are in small towns, big cities and remote settings. No area is immune. They can occur anywhere.

Traditionally they have been situated in residential neighbourhoods, but they have spread to commercial warehouses and agricultural barns. In large metropolitan areas the police have found several clustered in the same area - sometimes even on the same street.

With time the growers gain more knowledge and experience. To avoid getting caught they take great pains to make the house look lived in. Often crop sitters will live in the house, giving it a semblance of normalcy.

While rented dwellings have been preferred sites police have discovered that some grow ops are taking place in houses purchased for the purpose. Some new homes are even constructed with purpose specific rooms designed to contain mold, humidity and smell.

They also vary in size. From thousands of plants in a strata warehouse or barn to a few under the stairs, there is no norm. Police discovered what they consider the largest grow op in Canadian history in January 2004 in Brampton. It had 25,000 plants! Worth millions, this was not a typical grow operation.

Some parts of the country have more experience with grow ops than others. BC, Quebec and Ontario lead the way. Each are is different. In BC there is more indoor growing, while in Quebec there is more outdoor growing.

Profitability makes marijuana cultivation profitable. Risks are low and sentences are minor. This has made marijuana cultivation a major industry.

Police say that organized crime is taking the place of small independent growers. A small investment allows a grower to reap considerable profits from plants that can be harvested every three months. Because marijuana is the most popular illicit drug in Canada, and because it is widely available, it is unlikely that this will change any time soon.

5 Unique Devices For Healthy Living: A Look At Ecigarettes And More

Every day, there are new solutions being created to help promote healthy living. New technologies and devices help us to exercise, relax, develop good habits, and offer alternatives to bad habits. New aids and alternatives continue to be developed to offer solutions to old problems while elevating the quality of life.

There are several devices available today that are promoting healthy living. In particular, we will focus on ways to supplant bad habits, like using ecigarettes instead of tobacco, exercise better, and help relieve stress and improve concentration.

Replacing Bad Habits With An Electronic Cigarette Kit

If there is one bad habit that gets in the way of healthy living, smoking would definitely be at the top of the list. An electronic cigarette kit offers multiple ways for smokers to better live healthy lives.

Ecigarettes are an excellent tool for smoking cessation in order to give up smoking harmful to bacco products. Ecigarettes contain a specific amount of nicotine that can be controlled and gradually lessened in order to help break the addiction. This method can be much more effective than cold turkey for many people, as it lets them work their way into a life without tobacco rather than jumping right into the deep end so to speak. An electronic cigarette kit comes with multiple levels of nicotine, such as high (16 mg), medium (11 mg), low (6 mg), ultra low (4 mg), and finally zero (0mg).

Even before quitting, ecigarettes are an alternative to tobacco products that do not contain a cocktail of chemicals, toxins, and carcinogens. An electronic cigarette kit does not burn tobacco and all those additives. Instead, nicotine is delivered in a water-based solution without extra chemicals. In fact, the ingredient list for ecigarettes has only four items: water, dissolved nicotine, flavoring, and an FDA-approved food grade alcohol to help vaporize the nicotine solut ion. In this way, smokers can cut tar and carcinogens out of their daily lives.
The health benefits also extend to people around smokers. These devices are called smokeless cigarettes since nothing is actually burned. Instead, the smoker only exhales a small water mist. This means that ecigarettes are not banned by smoking prohibitions. In addition, there are no acrid odors that stick to clothing and furniture and no yellow stains on teeth. Using ecigarettes will improve the health of both the smoker and their friends and family.

These are all good reasons for replacing tobacco with ecigarettes, but there is still one more benefit that many people enjoy. An electronic cigarette kit comes with replacement nicotine solution cartridges, making ecigarettes reusable. This helps to lower their cost to about half of traditional tobacco products. This can mean a savings of up to $800 a year. What better way is there to improve our lives than by saving money?

Stop Snoring

Snoring is another habit that is act ually very unhealthy. Snoring restricts air flow while a person sleeps, putting stress on their heart, not to mention putting stress on the person sleeping next to a snorer. Snoring cessation devices work by using an electronic massage pulse to train the body to relax the muscles and end the snoring.

Jumping Rope

Exercise is one habit that people should be getting into rather than trying to give up. Virtual jump ropes are just one device that can encourage people to exercise. These devices enable people to jump rope without needing room for rope or possibly tripping over themselves. With a built-in calorie counter, it makes sticking to an exercise program easier while quantifying results.

Treadmill And Bike Combo

A unique exercise machine that is sure to get people going is a combination treadmill and bike. They work just like a treadmill, allowing a person to walk, jog, or run. However, the treadm ill is mounted to a bike, so that the treadmill actually propels the person. This combination is a great way to get out of the gym and into fresh air while getting the blood flowing.

Personal Development Systems

Managing moods and stress levels is another way to lead healthier lives; there is a strong connection between mental and emotional states as they correlate to physical wellbeing. Personal development systems are designed to either relax away stress or stimulate cognitive functions when focus is needed. They work through the use of auditory and visual cues delivered through headphones and glasses, producing an effect similar to meditation or hypnosis. Ultimately, they are excellent tools for managing stress and staying focused.

Whether it is breaking bad habits with an electronic cigarette kit or starting good exercise habits, technology is helping people lead better lives.

Men's Health - Uroxatral Product Guide

By Willie Anderson


Uroxatral is gaining a high rate of value and satisfied customers worldwide. This is because people nowadays are getting aware of the side effects of inflammatory drugs and they are now switching to alternatives. This product now belongs to the world's top enlarged prostate treatment alternatives. Let's have a brief summary of prostate problems and how can alternatives help in the shrinking process.

Prostate problems circumstances are growing in this present time. This really is because of our modernized way of life, our unhealthy way of life and unhealthy foods we eat. Probably the most common of all prostate problems is prostate enlargement. It is the formation or build-ups of non-cancerous tissues in the prostatic gland. This really is because of the continuous accumulation of hormones particularly testosterone inside the gland more than time. The hormone starts to accumulate when you were younger but you can't see the symptoms until you reach your 40s.

Prostate enlargement's symptoms are always associated with urine excretion. They include dribbling of urine, thinning of urine stream, pain while voiding and increased frequency of urge to urinate. In some cases, prostate enlargement goes together with the infection of the urinary tract. This is due to the compressed urethra or the blockage of urine pathway when the gland increases its size. Urine stasis could harbor bacteria in the urinary tract which could greatly cause an infection. In severe cases, kidney damaged and permanent impotence may occur just because of an untreated infection.

There are numerous drug regimens prescribed for the therapy of enlarged prostate. They consist of anti-inflammatory drugs, discomfort relievers, and antibiotics. These medicines are great but bad for long time use. They have side effects which could harm the wellness of an individual if taken far more than two weeks with continuous use. That's why more people are switching to alternatives.

Uroxatral is made of all-natural ingredients. These are pygeum extract, nettle root extract, lycopeen, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto extract, vitamin D, vitamin E, selenium and zinc. These ingredients are scientifically proven safe and are good reliefs for any kinds of prostate problems including prostate enlargement and impotence in men.

Buy Medical Aid Before You Have A Baby

By Susan Renolds


A young married couple who is thinking of expanding its family should consider buying medical aid. Having a baby is expensive, and it is best to have the peace of mind knowing that these expenses are covered. In that way, the couple can focus on all the positive aspects of beginning a family.

Being able to afford a private hospital gives the couple more options. Health cover provides the couple with the ability to do this. It is also useful in the unlikely event that there might be any complications during the pregnancy or birth. While a few women choose to give birth to their babies at birth centers or at home, most of them do this at a hospital.

Some mothers to be end up giving birth en route to the hospital. Women need the assurance that there are trained medical personnel on hand to deal with this situation. Those who are unable to afford the cover, usually have to put the idea of giving birth on hold until they are able to afford cover.

Public health care is free to those who use it, however the standard of treatment is not the same as that of a private hospital. The couple will have much more say regarding the pregnancy at a private hospital. This gives the couple much more reassurances regarding having a baby.

Matters do not always go as planned during the nine months of a pregnancy. Should any matter arise, the expectant mothers will feel much more comfortable with the doctor, who has been with them throughout the pregnancy. Another benefit is that private hospital patients normally have a private room to stay in at the hospital.This is far better than being placed in a general ward.

The quality of follow-up care after the birth is equally important to the care given prior to the birth. The child and mother will need to see the doctor at strategic times in the ensuing months. This allows the doctor to see that all is well with mother and child. Having the same doctor attend to this stage of the birth will give the couple more reassurance.

The couple should add the baby to the medical aid policy right away. This will give the couple the assurances that the baby is covered in the event of any illness. Speaking to a broker or agent will give the couple all the information required to make an informed decision regarding the most suitable option.

Regarding Medicare

By Antony Stelling


There would seem changes in a person's life after knowing that his or her age is qualified to acquire Medicare. No matter how senseless they are in their effort of appreciating and being aware of the life Medicare and Medicare insurance brings to them but they still will as an additional point of everything. What are in this piece of writing are briefing or short description of the "parts" of Medicare, which has a total of four, and the functions of each.

First Part

In the beginning part of Medicare, people who worked and had deductions from their wages before for the social security system will take advantage of those benefits only if they were qualified based on the lowest amount of work they were obliged. The so called "hospital" part of the Medicare is the main feature of the first part of the program that covers the inpatient hospital care of the beneficiaries. Hospice facility care, nursing facility care and home health care are also benefited to the member of the program.

Part Two

This part is non-compulsory for the employees who are a member of an employer coverage that has connections with Medicare coverage but only when the employment has ended and the employer coverage stopped, then that's the time they have to take part B. In connection with part two of the Medicare program, one has to provide a particular amount per month deducted from their social security check.

Part two concentrates more on the "doctor's office" part of Medicare which is also described as "services". Doctor's services, outpatient services, physical therapy and diagnostic tests and other types of screening are some of the major beneficial features of the program that will be given to their members.

Second to the Last Part

It has already been 10 years past that this part of Medicare was formed. Part C has two names which are "privatized Medicare" or Medicare Advantage both mean the same thing. In this part, if the government has connections with a certain private insurer then that person will be in charge of the assistance you will get from Medicare. From then on, you will be having a direct transaction to them because they will be the ones who will receive your payments and will process the redemptions of you benefits for you.

But this part of Medicare is non-compulsory. The advantage of getting part C is that it covers all the benefits you will receive from part A and B only when you avail for it but if not then part B has to be paid for to retain part A and B. Some of the people prefer to have, if not both, one of the benefit which is unfortunately not provided to you namely Medicare Supplement plan and Part C. There is a difference in the payment process where Medical Advantage pays in behalf of Medicare while on the other hand; Medicare pays right after supplements pay.

Last Part

The fourth part is the most popular among all other parts of Medicare. This is the part wherein medications needed by the members of the program come in. As covered by part D, private corporations are the ones providing the medications and prescription drugs to the beneficiaries only when these corporations are legal and have the consent to do so by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

There are instances wherein one can pay the service to the assigned private corporations but usually, this is being taken away from their social security check. To register in this part of the program is not obligated to the member of Medicare when they are qualified for it.

Mole problems and their corresponding cures:

By Micheal Adams


There is a popular method of mole removal and it is called elliptical excision. Anesthesia is administered once a person is having his moles separated from his skin. The local anesthesia will enable the patient to have his moles removed without suffering pain on the exact spot where the mole is located.

The technique is quite different from the other methods like laser or cryotherapy. The major side effect of this procedure is the scar formation. But you can't avoid it. It is not a very costly operation and it also seems to be less painful.

The scars will gradually vanish as time passes. But a slight trace will always remain. But many people still choose to undergo this procedure. The scarring will be dealt with later on with other specialty surgeries or treatments, after the operation.

Comparing elliptical excision and shave excision would show the former to be the riskier method. It seems to be more dangerous because the skin will be deeply cut. Cutting the skin too much, too deep, opens the possibilities of skin infections. This could lead to further complications. Bleeding could be more profuse. The severity of the wound could be very worrying. This would mean that the recovery period for the wound will generally be longer than in other methods.

The operation will have to cover a large area. An oval shape will be cut into the skin. The area covered includes both the mole and the skin around it. The effect on the skin will be greater.

Why, then, do people choose this method if scarring and skin damage are likely probabilities?

In this method, there are lesser chances that the moles will recur. It is the core problem that is concentrated on. No matter how deeply rooted the moles are, they can be removed. Practically all moles can be removed by this technique.

Cryotherapy is another treatment recommended by doctors. Another good option is Laser. If you research on the internet on the various methods and their advantages and disadvantages, the better off you'll be. Obviously, cryotherapy is about the use of very low temperatures. The freezing cold will destroy the cells in the skin moles. The main ingredient used in liquid nitrogen. Cells can be easily frozen. This might not work on deeply rooted moles, though. It is effective on shallow moles. This is the downside to this method. You will be taking risks if you use this method on moles that are deeply rooted.

Effective Manner Of Staying Safe Whenever You're Out By Yourself

By Steven J LaPhae


Just several months ago, my big brother called me up to inform me that one of his female coworkers had been found raped and left for dead a few blocks from her apartment. He then asked me if I knew any kind of simple form of self defense for women.

I informed him that aside from screaming, I knew nothing regarding protecting myself. My answer annoyed him a lot that he hung up the phone.

After some days, he sent me a text to go meet him for drinks. The moment we were settled, he inquired if I had previously used pepper spray in my life.

Pepper spray, as he described, is a non-lethal weapon and won't inflict long term injury on its target. It results in a unpleasant feeling akin to burning on the skin and in the eyes of an attacker. This burning feeling is going to incapacitate the assailant momentarily, providing enough time for the victim to leave the area.

My brother talked to me further about hot pepper sprays. The pepper solution for these kinds causes a stronger reaction because it has 18% pepper concentration. Some of them are keychain pepper sprays, that can be clipped onto a bag for immediate access.

As soon as he saw that I was satisfied with his explanation, he took out of his coat pocket a 1/2 oz. Wildfire small 18% pepper spray. Its spray can reach up to eight feet in length. This helps prevent the enemy from getting very close. It provides 5 one-second bursts, in case your first spray was off-target, together with a quick key release keychain and a locking actuator.

I was left without words for about 5 seconds. The self-defense weapon was pink! He grinned and stated that there were blue, red, and black ones but he wanted to see the look on my face right after I saw pink.

Well, I took my pink pepper spray and attached it on my handbag. I am really delighted that my big bro is thoughtful. Self defense for women felt so much easier using a defense spray that I thought to cancel the lessons I had paid for before my sibling showed up.

Making Use Of The Ideal Protection To Safeguard Yourself All The Time

By Benry A Henvenutti


Having resided inside the city my entire life, I was nave to think that I did not need any kind of protection since I was knowledgeable about my area. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. Sure enough, a mugger got my purse as I was stepping into my car after dinner out with my pals one night.

After this happened, I immediately took action. As I stumbled on a Mace pepper spray online, it occurred to me all of a sudden exactly how reckless I had been not having any kind of self-defense weapon beside me all that time.

There was a pepper gun that I found and considered getting. It uses technology which allows the pepper solution to be sprayed in virtually any angle just like from an aerosol can. Plus, it is built with an LED light that can disorient the enemy briefly and help the user aim well.

A pepper spray is a handy device which causes a throbbing, burning pain in the eyes and also skin of the recipient. This debilitates the attacker for a few moments, providing the victim a chance to get away.

I discovered a personal model hot pink pepper spray. Aside from the color, I was drawn to the reality that this 10% pepper spray contained high-grade OC pepper. On top of the burning sensation, this hot pepper spray will cause choking and also coughing, and continue to keep the eyes shut.

It was a relief for me to discover that all pepper sprays are non-lethal weapons. This ensures that these types of personal defense tools are for keeping their users safe and won't cause any permanent harm to the target.

I checked out a pepper spray with leatherette holster and loved how I can easily fit it into a pocket to make it accessible. I can attach this key chain pepper spray to my automobile keys to ensure that it is along with me everywhere I go.

Coming across Mace pepper spray got me started with discovering how essential it is to have self-defense. Right now, I feel confident that I won't ever be helpless again.

A List Of The Best Skin Care Tips

By Helen Smith


Your skin needs just as much care as the rest of your body. Yet safeguarding their skin is something that not nearly enough people know how to do. Read on to find out the best ways to protect and beautify your skin.

If many regular products irritate your skin, opt for a sensitive skin line instead. Try and use products that don't contain any chemicals, fragrances or dyes that could irritate your skin.

Recognize the long-term damage that tanning does to your skin. Tanning may make you look healthy when you are young, but over-time it actually has the opposite effect. More often than no, excessive tanning can lead to skin damage and eventually to skin that looks much older than it is. To keep you looking younger avoid tanning beds.

You will have a better skin if you can control your stress. Uncontrolled stress can lead to sensitive skin which ultimately results in skin problems. Try relaxation methods or find an activity that helps you forget about your problems.

Try to live as stress-free of a life as you can. Excess stress can sometimes show up in the form of skin problems. Improve your complexion by learning how to relax. In fact, your entire life will be improved by lowered levels of stress.

The use of olive oil for moisturizing and protecting the skin is not a new idea. Even Cleopatra reaped the beauty benefits of olive oil. In addition to being a good beauty product, olive is a tasty and health food. The many benefits of olive oil include improved complexion, firm skin, and strong nails. You can use olive oil on your hair for an extra shine.

Moisturizers with sun protection are one of the best ways to avoid wrinkles. Fine lines and wrinkles are often caused by overexposure to the sun. Using a facial moisturizer that has sunscreen in it is a very simple step in protecting your skin.

If your liquid foundation doesn't have sunscreen in it, add some of your own. SPF protection is available in many brands of foundation. You can add sunscreen to any foundation that does not offer enough SPF protection. Just adding a few drops of sunscreen can be beneficial.

It is important to keep as much stress out of your life as possible. Stress can cause an increase of adrenaline, DHEA and cortisol levels in your blood. This will cause any existing skin condition such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis to flare up. You skin reflects your mind and body's overall health; that is why a relaxed mind contributes greatly to having a glowing complexion.

Before you go to sleep at night, apply a small amount of moisturizer that contains humectants to your face. Your body's temperature naturally rises while you are asleep. A higher temperature naturally causes you to sweat. This sweat and moisture can end up drying your delicate face skin, so make sure to use a moisturizer before bed and when you wake up.

If you have chapped lips, make a lip balm that will soothe them. Combine honey, sour cream and cucumber, and apply the mixture to the lips for a quarter of an hour. Put some almond oil on your lips after you rinse them to seal in moisture.

Lemon juice is a natural bleach. Apply lemon juice to spots, blemishes, and scars to make them lighter and less noticeable. It is not permanent, so you have to keep using it, but it's healthier than using other chemicals.

You can improve your skin quality by using a homemade mask. Raw almonds ground with olive oil and milk makes a semi-smooth paste to use as a skin mask. Then add ground up orange peel to this mixture. This mixture should be applied to your face and allowed to rest for at least 15 minutes. After this time has passed, you should gently wash the paste off your face, and get an ice cube to rub on your face.

Regular soap might be doing you more harm than good if your skin tends to be very dry. Replace soaps with a moisturizing wash to keep a healthy skin. The main ingredient in bubble bath is also very drying on your skin, so avoid it if possible. An oatmeal or oil based body wash followed by bath oil will moisturize your dry itchy skin. Also use moisturizer after drying off.

Watercress can help you get rid of any puffy skin or inflammation, it will also reduce pore size. You can eat watercress as part of your meal or as a snack, you can get plenty of positive effects for your skin. Not only will it be a positive for your skin, it is loaded with iron and antioxidants that keep you healthy.

Use products to reduce oil secretion if you have oily skin. You can also eliminate oils by using a toner or astringent. Buying a moisturizer specifically made for people with oily skin will eliminate all of these issues.

While trying to control or eliminate your skin problems, find out what skin type you have. If are not aware of the type of skin you have, you won't be able to choose the proper skin products. Before starting a new skin care routine, you must identify your skin type.

Like was said before, skin care is essential. You shouldn't have a goal of just caring for your skin, your goal should be to care for it the right way. If you follow the guidelines in this article, you will be one step closer to perfect skin.

Revamp Your Weight Loss Plan With These Tips

By Ray Perez


It is difficult for some people to lose weight, but if you know what you're doing, that isn't the case. Like everything in life, if you have the proper knowledge, you can find success. The weight loss tips in this article will get you started on your weight loss journey.

Weight loss should be considered a lifestyle change instead of a way to fit into a bikini. If you can change your habits, you will not only lose weight, but you will keep it off.

Make sure you are never depriving yourself of any food. If you take a food out of your diet completely, you might see that you want it more and then eat too much of it. Giving up on a food entirely will hurt your diet rather than help it.

Cutting back on fattening foods like fries not only helps your weight, but also your waistline and skin. Studies have found a large number of benefits attributed to eating more high-protein, low-fat foods. Your skin has a natural balance of oils and adding large amounts of high-glycemic foods such as fries or candy will offset that balance and really show in your complexion.

Get your pets involved to help with workouts. As a pet owner, you can put your pet to work helping you lose weight. You can walk, jog, or just play with your pet. Not only will you and your companion have fun, but you will be helping yourself eliminate excess body fat from your body.

Reduce the amount of calories you eat every day. One fat gram has two times the calories of one carb or protein gram. Do not eat high-fat foods, try not to use oil, and minimize your consumption of dairy. If you focus on high-fiber foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits, you will feel full for longer, despite eating far fewer calories.

Try sucking on an ice cube as a means to curb a craving. Sucking on ice chips are a beneficial way of dealing with food cravings because a lot of the time it's all about just having things in your mouth.

Getting the proper amount of sleep is also essential in weight loss. Being healthy mentally can improve your physical health. Therefore, you should ensure you get around seven to eight hours of sleep each night. If you get too much or too little, you are at a higher risk of being overweight. People who sleep a lot are often depressed and overweight.

When you are going for a goal, keep it real. Losing a pound a day or more is an unrealistic goal. If you come up with a goal you can reach, you can motivate yourself time and time again. Remember that unrealistic goals lead to certain failure. Try setting a weekly goal of one half to two pounds lost.

If you start to hear yourself say things like "This is impossible" or "I can't do this", you should change your thought patterns immediately. You must stay positive to have even a modicum of success. Use positive self-talk to help yourself believe you can do this.

It isn't enough to simply learn about the things that you can do to lose weight. Instead, you must be able to decide which methods are feasible, given your schedule, health and so on. If you want to lose weight, you really have to follow these tips if you wish to be successful. Try to use the knowledge you learn so you can see results.

Even if you are over 25 years old and way past puberty, exercise is still useful.

First, exercise keeps you healthy. Most importantly, it helps you to maintain healthy bones. Healthy bones are essential for your height. Without healthy bones, you might even shrink in height, which is definitely not what you want.

Medical negligence can lead to delays in diagnosing ovarian cancer

By Bobby Henry


Despite government campaigns and changes to monitoring ovarian cancer, still every one or two women out of a thousand will develop the disease at some point in their life. Although the likelihood of developing ovarian cancer is comparatively rare to other forms of cancer, medical negligence means that many women are not diagnosed until it is too late, or are misdiagnosed altogether.

The Medical Defence Union has investigated 209 cases of alleged delays in diagnosing ovarian cancer in the last nine years. Of these 209 cases, 84% of women were misdiagnosed with either irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis or anaemia. 71 of these claims were made against doctors, with eight settled resulting in payouts of between 9,000 and 550,000 each.

Figures show that in the United Kingdom, 6,500 women develop ovarian cancer each year. Of these, 4,000 die from the disease. Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is imperative to helping secure survival. However, Dr Rachel Sutcliffe, a medico-legal advisor from the MDU, admits that a missed diagnosis is not always down to medical negligence, but due to other factors including patients not informing their GP of their family's cancer history and the fact that ovarian cancer is incredibly hard to detect.

This year, the government have provided the charity Ovarian Cancer Action with 450 million to help fund an awareness campaign designed to reduce the number of deaths from the disease. The key to this campaign is to inform women of the differences between getting older and ovarian cancer as many differences can become blurred. GPs, too, are being given extra information and training as a part of this campaign.

Women are being encouraged to keep a diary of their symptoms and to see their GP as soon as possible if they are suffering from any of the following; persistent pelvic and stomach pain, persistent bloating (continuous, not on and off), increased abdominal size, difficulty eating and feeling fuller quicker.

The Essence Of Digital X Ray In Modern Medicine

By Nicole Guy


The idea of digital x ray imaging has kick started the demise of the conventional radiography. Instead of the usual photographic film, special sensors are used. The captured image is saved in a format that is suitable for digital decoding machines.

This new technology has brought about some positive strides in the world of medicine. The long messy job of chemical processing will not be done again. The resulting images can be transferred to other media and image enhancing software used to improve the quality. Unlike conventional imaging, this procedure will expose the patient to less radiation.

One kind of detector is made using amorphous selenium that captures the photons and converts them directly into charge. The charge pattern that is induced on the selenium layer is then read by electrometer probes or a micro plasma line addressing. Another variation of detectors has the outer layer made up of a combination of amorphous silicon and a scintillator.

The dentistry room will appreciate the abilities of the machines. By taking a shot of the ailing parts, the dentist can use the zoom feature on the screen display to get a closer look s well as for outlining the procedure to be performed to the patient. The image may be directed directly to a screen via USB connection or formed on phosphor plates for later recovery.

A typical machine for imaging in the hospital will have a main base station and a camera. The main base station houses and controls the radiation tube. It also works in conjunction with the camera to store pictures on a hard disk. This image is availed to an operator through an interface that allows him to analyze and enhance its quality.

The new Digital x ray system will usually require some programming for to realize its full potential. This will enable the automatic laser power control and warn of the end of life of the laser diodes. An observation about these new machines is their smaller size due to the miniaturization of components mounted on the board.

Bellflower Dentist for Your Denture Needs

By Harry Kirkland


Folks should know that a Bellflower dentist, who is right for some, may not be the exact match for you or your family. We all know that smiles affect the whole overall mood and personality so picking the best dentist is very important. Consider the following ideas to help you pick the best dentist for you.

Have you ever heard of a discount dental plan? Discount dental plans are an alternative to buying dental insurance, which does not cover pre-existing conditions or any type of cosmetic procedure, such as dentures. Many of these plans offer an affordable solution for people that are in the same situation that you are. By joining a discount dental plan and visiting a participating provider in your area, you may actually save as much as 60% off the usual cost of your dentures.

Savings do vary from 10% to 60% so this will depend upon where you live, the plan you choose, the type of dentures you need, etc. Let's take a look at a discount dental plan at work. This example is from the San Diego, California area, zip code 92110.The normal cost of an upper denture nationwide is $1252.00. This is based on a survey conducted in 2005. Actual costs may be more or less, depending on where you live. The cost of an upper denture using the discount plan in this example is a mere $500.00. That will save you $752.00!

The cost of joining this unique discount dental plan is only $119.95 annually for an individual or $159.95 for a family dental plan. So if you enroll the entire family you would deduct $159.95 from the $752.00 savings. You will still save $592.05, PLUS your family will continue to enjoy great savings for the entire year on braces, cleanings, fillings and more.

Lastly, you may want to do some research online to find the right dentist. Many dentists have websites and also have information including their credentials and more online. You may also be able to learn about the staff of the Bellflower dentist you are considering. Many dentists' websites even include pictures of what the office looks like. It will help you decide if it looks like a comforting environment.

Importance Of Drinking Water Test

By Nicole Guy


One of worthwhile investment nowadays is buying of a quality drinking water test. Every homeowner must have this. You need a testing kit whether it is coming from the municipal treatment facility or deep well. The truth remains that there are numerous contaminants that might cause health problems.

Almost all treatment facilities claim that the liquid they supply is absolutely safe to drink. In support of their claim, they publish their annual examination report. A majority of these reports is doctored, and unfortunately, insufficient number of EPA inspectors is available to verify the authenticity of such reports.

The processes involved in the treatment facility involve demineralization. The process involves removal of the particulates. Purification process not only removes the particulates, but also gets rid of bacteria and parasites present in the liquid. You need to analyze your liquid correctly so you can make sure it will be healthy.

A good kit will instantaneously detect the presence of chlorine. It is a chemical that is extensively used to kill bacteria and parasites. Contrary to the popular belief, chlorine does not have the capability to destroy all the microorganisms present in the reservoir. A parasitic microorganism called cyst can easily endure the chlorine disinfection procedure.

To make sure that your liquid is completely free from all sorts of contaminants, buy a purification system. In this unique filtering system, 99% of the impurities are removed with the help of granular activated carbon, ion exchanger and sub-micron filter. Once you have installed a purification system, you do not have to worry about kit. You need to find the right kits for your safety.

The pressure is centered towards providing safer and cleaner liquid to people. The absence of equipment to decontaminate the liquid adds up to the pressure. According to studies, there are thousands of contaminants passing through filters. This is according to the municipal treatment facility. If you conduct a drinking water test, you will notice that this is true.
