The first quarter of the year is almost over – have you worked on any of your New Year’s Resolutions yet? To be honest, I have not thought much about these in the past 3 months! Thanks to
Katie Hartsough of Finding Dulcinea, I was reminded yet again of what I promised myself several months back.
They have this article called Recommit to Your New Year’s Resolution. In it, they encourage individuals to make resolutions and, more than that, offers ways on how to stick to them. Of ...
I don’t know what got into my colleague’s head today but she came back from her lunch break with a new toy – a body fat percentage calculator. At first, everyone was just snubbing the gadget – especially the women. After one tried it, though, everyone queued up to check their body fat percentage. It was quite amusing as none of us really knew what the numbers meant – so I took it upon myself to do some research and try to understand what my numbers mean.
According to ...
What do you do when you get a cold? More so, what do you do to avoid getting a cold? I have heard about so many home remedies for and preventive actions against the common cold. Yet the common cold just seems to be just that – all too common.
The usual way by which a lot of people try to fend off colds is to ingest large quantities of vitamin C. Now I am not saying that this does not work – I actually am a ...
I was browsing some blogs when I ran across
a post on how some people make excuses for not working out or at least trying to be healthy. I think the blog post struck something deep within me as I could not get it off my mind. So here I am, writing about the same topic, in an effort to answer the question for myself.
Am I using my
overbooked schedule to put off going to the gym, taking a walk, or riding my elliptical bike? I don’t ...
Doesn’t that just sound perfect? Booze can actually help lengthen your life? Of course, you cannot take out the other part of the equation – exercise. According to a recent study done by Danish researchers., people who exercise regularly and drink moderately have significantly lower risks of getting heart disease.
The researchers say:
Physical activity and a moderate alcohol intake can lower the risk of fatal heart disease and all-cause mortality. But neither physical activity alone nor alcohol intake can completely reverse the increased risk associated with physical inactivity and alcohol ...
Yes, you read that correctly. I am advocating taking a break at the start of the year. Why am I saying this? Think about it, you want to start your year fresh and renewed, don’t you? One of the best ways to do this would be to take some time away from your routine life.
This year, I tried to test this theory by going on a week long vacation at the end of December and extended it to the first week of the New Year. Boy, did it feel ...
I remember starting 2007 with a two-post series on health resolutions. Looking back at those posts, I have to be honest and say that I stuck religiously by my resolutions for about a couple of months and then slowly reverted to old habits. They do die hard, don’t they? I am happy to say, however, that I was able to keep some of them – like eating a good breakfast and eating more slowly.
This year, I though I’d focus on something other than diets. I just realized how ...
One of the noticeable things that have been happening today is the fact that people have been more
health-conscious. This includes the proper selection of food and resources such as organic food to which most organization producing them have used
affordable search engine optimization practices like the ones by
Los Angeles SEO as a means of drawing the crowd.
Organic eating is the in-thing we have today. People have to eat wisely and be sure that their intakes are indeed healthy for the body. While people may not like the taste of pure organic food ...
Digestive
disorders that would come normal would include that of consuming something that the stomach would not like. In other cases, it would include food intake of something that may have been already spoiled thus leading towards discharge of wastes and toxins that may become uncontrollable.
Loose Bowel Movement (LBM) is a natural occurrence where much of the body
minerals would be affected as well. Changes in the bowel movement are sure to occur in bad digestive instances. Experiencing stomach cramps, slight chills and the usual uncomfortable feelings are among the things ...
People are not always aware of their current state of physical condition by simply looking at the mirror or relying on what they feel at
present. The need to undergo certain medical examinations and physician�s advice are the best ways to go about the overall
assessment of a person�s current health status.
The common belief for some is that unless they feel something strange, they would not go to their physician for medical
evaluation. With the trend today leaning more towards being health conscious, regular physical examinations are slowly ...
