Do you like popcorn?

Posted in Cancer on Nov 6, 2009 at 09:26 AM by Perriann Rodriguez | Comments (0)

When I go to the movies, I have to have popcorn. Several times I have thought to myself that I wouldn't buy popcorn this time, only to go get some at the last minute before the movie starts.

It just goes with movies. The movie experience is not as good if you don't have popcorn. Yes I know about all the calories, etc. in popcorn. I usually adjust my calories during the day to accommodate all those extra calories.

Sometimes, when I watch movies at home, I will make some microwave popcorn to eat. Just read something very disturbing that might change that habit real quick.

Blood Pressure Medication Found To Reverse Diabetic Complications

Posted in General Health on Nov 2, 2009 at 08:18 PM by Jay B Stockman | Comments (0)

Diabetic RetinopathyDrugs are manufactured for treating specific conditions and the FDA tests and approve them for that use. Frequently, during the use of a medicine other benefits are discovered by accident. For example, the new class of glaucoma drugs have been shown to increase eye lash growth. Thus the manufacture now makes a separate form of the drug called Latisse to apply directly on to the lashes.

I love all of these long hairstyles, but.....

Posted in Beauty on Nov 2, 2009 at 07:50 PM by Perriann Rodriguez | Comments (0)

If you look at the latest hairstyles out there today, you will find a majority of them are a long length. There are a variety of different types of styles. For example, there is the straight smooth and silky hairstyle. This hairstyle is flat ironed into a sleek beauty that shines and looks amazing. Then you have the curly hairstyle. Long spiral curls are added throughout using a curling iron or hot rollers. And don't forget the partial updo long hairstyle. With this hairstyle, the hair in the crown area is pulled back into a ponytail and secured with a ponytail holder or clip.

These styles are all awesome. The only problem is....

There is the latest craze of buying organic fruit. Everyone talks about how much better it is for you to eat organic fruit, without all the pesticides and other chemicals used to process and grow food. Some question the reliability of the 'organic' title and wonder whether what they are paying for is really in fact organic.

Another related trend is the purchase of organic hair care.

For the past 35 years, the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute (AFCI) has been teaching physicians how to use the ancient technique of acupuncture. Acupuncture has been around for about 2500 years now, but it was only in the late 20th century that it began to take root in North America as a viable medical procedure. During the years since its founding, the AFCI has been responsible for teaching hundreds of physicians, dentists, registered nurses, physiotherapists and other medical professionals the ancient techniques of acupuncture. Combining the best of both Western knowledge and Eastern wisdom, the organization offers an outstanding 9- level training program in both anatomical and traditional acupuncture treatments.

What about Electric Wheelchairs and Medicare?

Posted in General Health on Oct 30, 2009 at 05:38 AM by Christopher Smith | Comments (0)

When the time comes that you, an aging parent, or another loved one needs to use an electric wheelchair for mobility purposes, it may be difficult to work one into your budget. After all, electric wheelchairs are substantially more expensive than manual chairs, and private insurance will only kick in to help pay for them under certain circumstances. At this point, rather than deplete the person's financial resources unnecessarily, you should check to see if the person will qualify to have Medicare help pay for some or all the chair that they need.

Virility Secrets

Posted in Nutrition on Oct 29, 2009 at 10:13 PM by Teresita C. Tayanes | Comments (0)

Maintaining sexual vigor is dependent upon the healthy functioning of our glandular system, wrote Dr.Ronald Thayer, in his popular book, "Avoid Premature Aging." By giving superior nutritional support to the endocrine glands, especially the ovaries, testes, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and the prostate gland, you may increase your sexual vigor, postpone menopause, and improve physical health and stamina, the doctor narrates.

Here's what comprised Dr. Thayer's Gland Stimulating nutritional program :

1. Take a natural vitamin-mineral supplement daily that contains at least 30 mg. of zinc. Zinc has been found to be of great importance in the functioning of the prostate gland, male genital tract, the eye, and the pancreas. Food high in zinc are : pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, brewer's yeast, seafoods, oysters, liver, wheat bran, wheat germ, eggs, onions, nuts and lima beans.

2. Go to a health doctor and request some "beef glandular extracts." The extracts from the glands of beef , when taken orally, head for their respective tissue or gland. They serve as stimulus to cause our own glands to function more effectively.

3. Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol)
Vitamin E is called the fertility vitamin. Here's some of it's benefits :
a. Stimulates sperm qualitatively
b. Helps prevent miscarriage
c. Aids in reducing menopausal synptoms
d. Improves circulation
e. Increases the available oxygen to the tissues
f. Helps in retarding the aging process

Will you be Able to Burn More Calories on a Non Electric Treadmill?

Posted in Fitness on Oct 29, 2009 at 05:59 AM by Christopher Smith | Comments (0)

The answer to the title question is "maybe". Although it sounds reasonable to say that a non-electric treadmill will cause you to work harder, that isn't necessarily the case. After all, you're the one making the effort. If you're able to run for 30 minutes at a reasonable speed on your electric treadmill and yet can only force yourself to walk 10 minutes on a non-electric one, you're defeating the purpose. As with all other types of exercise, the number of calories you burn on any type of treadmill is going to be directly proportional to the amount of work you put into the effort.

Posted in General Health on Oct 29, 2009 at 05:52 AM by Christopher Smith | Comments (0)

Once you've contracted the herpes virus that causes cold sores, the virus will remain in your system the rest of your life. That's why it's been estimated that 80% of all people have the virus. Fortunately for some, only one out of every three people who have the virus will actually suffer with recurrent outbreaks of cold sores. If you're one of those people, you're probably wondering what causes cold sores to appear when they do. For some reason, there seems to be some general rule that a cold sore is going to show up just when you're preparing for a special event. Don't you wish there was something you could do to at least control the timing of these annoying sores?

Best Hair Care Products

Posted in Beauty on Oct 28, 2009 at 11:08 AM by Perriann Rodriguez | Comments (0)

Those advertisers get me all the time. I see a commercial with a woman who has beautiful, shiny hair. The commercial is advertising some sort of shampoo, conditioner or hair color.

I get sucked in by all those 'guaranteed' claims and end up buying the product the next time I am at the store.

Of course the products never really deliver on what was promised. I then stack up the product next to the others and resolve to at least use most of the product, however bad or mediocre it might be.

How do you choose your hair care products?

How should I get my hair cut?

Posted in Beauty on Oct 27, 2009 at 07:44 AM by Perriann Rodriguez | Comments (0)

How many times have you asked someone, or yourself this very question?
A woman's hairstyle is a very important factor for self- esteem. Having the right hairstyle can make a huge difference in the way people see you. Not that you should be focusing on superficial factors, but you should realize that the way you look has a lot to do with the way people perceive you.

For example, if your hair is dry or damaged and you don't take steps to remedy the problem, your hair will become broken, frizzy or worse - permanently damaged You definitely would make a bad impression, for example, if you went to a job interview with damaged hair. Likewise, having a haircut that flatters your facial features will take you much further than a haircut that doesn't

What hair cut do you want to get and why - these are very important questions you need to ask yourself before going near a pair of scissors.
