The different types of illnesses plaguing the
world today have been something that has caught everyone by surprise. The increasing rate of health
issues has made everyone standing on their feet, wondering how to resort to preventive measure to contain such illnesses from spreading like wildfire.
As an alternative, the use of herbal medicine has done wonders for various illnesses such as cancer and heart associated problems. This can be attributed to the fact that the substances and composition that all extracted herbs offer are found to negate and improve the body
components.
Weird as they may sound, taste or look, it is the healing effect that holds the truth towards a successful fight against
diseases and illnesses. It is not purely a matter of relying on your doctor for advice but also a matter of taking into consideration that herbal ...

I distinctly remember my
mom telling me to drink my daily rations of milk - one glass in the morning and another at night. I also remember loving it and my sister quite the opposite - she would surreptitiously pour her milk into the sink or water the plants with it! I guess I should thank my mother for making us drink a lot of milk during those formative years. Why? Because of its calcium content.
Today, calcium deficiency is one of the main concerns for women in their 30s or even early 20s. The great fear is that when we reach our 50s or 60s, osteoporosis would set in. That is why you can see a plethora of advertisements regarding calcium and different products supposedly containing adequate amounts of this mineral.
Because calcium is not that easy to acquire from the
natural food that we eat ...

I have been trying to focus on Alzheimer’s Disease for this month’s blog posts in an effort to join the activities of the Alzheimer’s Disease month. However, an incident this morning has prompted me to write something that is off topic. Indulge me, will you? :)
So anyway, I was making lunch – pan fried slabs of yellow fin tuna. This stuff is really good, especially if you get the fish fresh from the market. So there I was happily pan frying the slabs when I lost my grip on one as I was turning it. unfortunately, some of the hot oil splashed on my left hand, burning the length of my index finger.
I immediately ran cold water over the burn as it hurt like anything and was quickly turning an angry red. After ...
Exercise and the proper diet are the best things for a healthy body – we all know that. Then again, knowing and actually doing are two totally different things. This is especially true for a lot of people these days who find themselves always in front of their computers and
television sets. When do they find the time to exercise?
Enter the Nintendo Wii. With their new product line – aptly dubbed the Wii Fit – Nintendo is posed to capture a new market, if they have not already. So what is the Wii Fit all about?
Time shares:
This is the genius of Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed game designer and mastermind behind blockbusters like Legends of Zelda, Donkey Kong and the many Mario titles. He has managed to take an activity that many ...

Dr. Mao’s list is the use of unbleached paper products. His rationale behind this tip:
Paper products are not naturally white. All white paper products are bleached with chemicals that leave behind a harmful residue of dioxin, a known carcinogen. This residue is found in coffee filters, diapers, lunch bags, napkins, paper towels, tissues and toilet paper. When dioxin enters the landfill as waste, it leaches into the soil, contaminating groundwater.
Sounds good to me. Wouldn’t it feel a bit strange having toilet paper that is not white? Come to think of it, I don’t really see those products in the supermarket all that much. However, the idea of using unbleached paper products – visual aesthetics aside – is a very good one. The question is whether or not these can easily be found where we ...
We all suffer from the blues every now and then. This is a normal phase that we all go through. Just because you feel sad or depressed from time to time does not mean that you are clinically depressed and that you need to go see a psychologist or psychiatrist. In fact, when you are feeling a bit blue, you can do some things to make yourself feel better!
I think that we are all familiar with these methods - I am sure that you have your own “best cures” for the blues. Some people like to eat chocolate (or some other type of comfort food). I love ice cream! Other people go shopping. Still, other people would go on a trip.
Yet did you know that a short period of physical activity can help beat minor blues away? ...
Have you ever experienced trying to smile only to be cut short because your lips hurt? Well, I’ve been suffering from extremely chapped lips lately – why exactly, I don’t know. What I do know is that it is irritating and sometimes painful. I’ve tried everything from Chapstik to Nivea Lip Moisturizer seem to do the trick. I am currently using petroleum jelly but my lips go back to being chapped after a while. This led me to do some research on this matter – let me share them with you.
I think the
tips from Mayo Clinic make a lot of sense:
• Use an oil-based lubricating cream, such as Aquaphor Healing Ointment, or lip balm containing petrolatum or beeswax.
• Apply lip cream, balm or lipstick before going out in cold, dry weather. Reapply several times while outside.
• Choose a ...
I had a blast on Friday and Saturday with my family as we got together for Easter. It was not a traditional celebration, though, as we decided to go around the city this year. There were many sights that some of the children have not seen and we thought that us adults could do with revisiting them as well. Saturday, some of us decided to go shopping and ended up spending almost 10 hours at the mall. As you can imagine, I was dead on my feet by the time I got home. Lucky for me, there is this home massage service available in my area. As I lay there enjoying the kneading motions on my back, I was again reminded of why love massages so much.
Personally, I appreciate how a massage can relax and melt away the ...
