<p align="justify">I really commend my son’s nanny not only for taking care of my son very well but is so caring for me as well.&#160; The power outage that lasted so long yesterday piled up so many of my online works so when she saw how I was so swamped and focused with my work a while ago, she offered to cook our lunch and even prepared the table.&#160; I didn’t stand up at once.&#160; So in her fourth attempt of calling me, she caught my attention by saying that despite so being busy with work, I should never let myself starve.&#160; She seemingly made a sermon how should I prioritize my health over anything else.&#160; I did not get offended nor took it wrongly because she was absolutely right.&#160; Every point raised was true.&#160; So before she sounds like a Doctor and give me a homily or discuss about serious stuffs like <a href="http://www.cvtsa.com/">vascular surgery</a> and <a href="http://www.cvtsa.com/Cardiac/C-412.html">cardiac surgery</a> and other health concerns, I stood up then proceeded to the dining table and ate my lunch.&#160; It was a hearty one, by the way.&#160; She cooked Monggo and malunggay with tinapa (smoked fish) as a complement.&#160; A very healthy dish, indeed.&#160; In this era when fatal illnesses are so common like <a href="http://www.cvtsa.com/LungCancer/C-556.html">lung cancer</a> and other types of cancer, eating right and living a healthier lifestyle should be our utmost concern. So big thanks to Yayie, for reminding me that today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If prescription costs are putting a big dent in your wallet, then you might benefit from using a <a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs.com/discount-card-form">discount Rx card</a> (prescription card).  Manufacturers offer a prescription drug card program to help Americans cut down on the cost of medications by offering deep discounts, sometimes up to 75 percent, on prescription drug costs. The cards work in over 50,000 local, regional and national pharmacies across the country. While some of the discount Rx cards are tied in to insurance programs such as Medicare, there are other card options not affiliated with any type of insurance.</p>
<p> If you are looking at cutting costs by using a discount Rx card, make sure you read the fine print. Different cards from different places have different eligibility criteria. Some cards might have restrictions based on income, while others might have restrictions based on ages. These cards are generally only for families with young children or for adults over the age of 65. This is most common in cards offered through the government.</p>
<p> Some discount Rx cards are only available to people who have no ties with health insurance, but other discount Rx cards are specifically for people who do have insurance, yet don&#8217;t have prescription plans associated with the insurance. For example, the Together Rx Access Card offers discount cards from 10 pharmaceutical companies for people who have insurance but don&#8217;t have prescription plans.</p>
<p> Once you decide you want to use a discount prescription card, you want to ascertain which one best suits your purposes. Determine the cost of owning the card to see if it will benefit you financially. Check to make sure that your local pharmacy honors the discount Rx cards you research. Think about the different sets of medication you take, and find out if this card will help you pay for those specific prescription medications.</p>

<p>Skinny jeans and tube tops are eyecandies for me but sadly, I can not hoard lots of these in my closet as they&#8217;re not meant for my scrawny built.  The fashion experts say that flat and skinny people should veer away from pieces that do not accentuate and instead make them appear more lean especially the skinny jeans and tight fitting pants.  There are certainly other fashion pieces that can do wonders since some genetically inherited things cannot be changed easily and some not at all.  I&#8217;ve always been on the lighter side ever since, thus, the <a href="http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/p90x.php">P90X workout</a>, <a href="http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/power90-products/power90.php">Power 90</a> or <a href="http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/slimin6-products/slim-in-6.php">Slim in 6</a> were never part of my system or never have I planned to try.  My voracious appetite and my effort to eat more and more is futile.  I still weigh the same.  An article I recently found says that in order to build muscle mass (not fats) and gain weight, a precise combination of nutrition, exercise and rest should do the trick.  So instantly, I knew what was I missing.  I lack exercise.  I learned that not all workouts are meant to lose weight.  So there, I&#8217;ll check out this <a href="http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/10-minute-trainer-products.php">10 Minute Trainer</a> and see if it can help me with my dilemma.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this wonderful century we are living in, sweating and counting calories may be a thing of the past with a new laser called <a href="http://www.youthbeautyadvice.com/zerona-the-body-sculpting-alternative">Zerona</a> that simply makes the pounds melt away. You won’t have to stress over how much cookie dough ice cream you gobbled down the night before. Well not anymore, with this laser treatment they will be able to shape your flabby body into the dream body you’ve always wanted. Zerona is the wave of the future when it comes to cosmetic procedures. It seems with this new technique going under the knife may just be a thing of the past. </p>
<p>You no longer have to suffer with being obese, now there is a new technique that may work for you without surgery. With the marvels of science you can have all of that erased in a matter of minutes with six painless visits to the clinic. When it is all done you can walk out looking and feeling like a million bucks. </p>
<p>Since this procedure is done with a small laser you will not have to worry about the dangers of being placed on an operating table, nor will you have to have any unsightly scars afterwards. This whole procedure is a pure miracle. Even though you may think that this little procedure may be the entire cure for being overweight it is not, you should still try and maintain a healthy diet and some sort of exercise to keep your heart, mind and body in top shape.  </p>
<p>Zerona is making it possible for ordinary people to be comfortable with the skin they are in and paying a fraction of the cost of having some liposuction procedures done. So, either way it goes it seems that having the Zerona treatment done is a win-win situation for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there&#8217;s one thing that we should not be slacking about is it&#8217;s seeing our doctors regularly.  When I say regularly, it&#8217;s at least once year if everything&#8217;s well and we do not have health complaints of any sort.  We also need to be checked since not all sickness manifests physically.  There are those underlying ailments and symptoms, existence of which are sometimes unknown to us.  So before they lead to something undesirable or &#8220;irreparable&#8221; state, early detection is great.</p>
<p>It was last February when I was last seen by a doctor.  I had my blood checked for any abnormalities in my hormone levels as I&#8217;ve tremendously lost weight after giving birth.  I have experienced symptoms of hyperthyroidism in the past but thank God, the blood tests yielded favorable results.  Thyroidism was ruled out and I have breastfeeding to solely &#8220;blame&#8221; for my overly skinny body.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m due to visit my OB-gynecologist one of these days.  I&#8217;m not pregnant but it&#8217;s the time of the year for my annual pap smear procedure.  It&#8217;s also been a while since I&#8217;ve last seen her so it would also be a great to meet her and have a chitchat for anything reproductive issues that I may have.  Of course, I wouldn&#8217;t be asking about <a href="http://www.mmhc-online.com">vasectomy reversal</a> yet and all those sorts.  On the contrary, I&#8217;ll be asking her and be conditioned about possible workups starting the last quarter of the year.  Definitely, after the Little Mansion, BB#2 is one of our next projects to undertake hopefully, next year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have several friends who are involved in serious slimming and losing weight regimens.  Some sign up themselves to fitness workouts and religiously attend sessions in gyms, adapt a new eating habit, take in slimming pills (but considering carefully the possible <a href="http://www.sideeffectsofdietpills.org/">side effects of diet pill</a>), detoxifies using colon cleansers, get involve in rigorous sports activities and a whole lot more of diet rituals. Whatever ways they may resort to, I think the best tools and the most important thing is that they should arm themselves with discipline, determination and will power. Without these two, they can always go on cheating and the cycle of promising and swearing just continues until no end&#8230;and their undesirable body built and weight stays unchanged.</p>

Meanwhile, one study showed that people drinking fluoridated water experienced varied health problems like gastrointestinal disorders, mouth sores, rashes, headaches, arthritis and even more serious concerns such as cancers and neurological complaints. Now if you are a homemaker like me, I&#8217;m sure this is a big issue that will ignite your concern. It&#8217;s great that there are <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.friendsofwater.com/" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1271720033_1">Fluoride Water Filters</span></a> that can be used in our <span id="lw_1271720033_2">drinking  water system</span> at home. My research about this water filter system led me to <a href="http://friendsofwater.com/" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1271720033_3">FriendsofWater.com</span></a>&#8217;s site where numerous filter systems are available like the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.friendsofwater.com/Water_Filter_Pitcher.html" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1271720033_4">the best Water Filter Pitchers</span></a>,  bath water filters, shower filters, pool filters and many more. I&#8217;ll  definitely consider having these <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.friendsofwater.com/Fluoride_Filters.html" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1271720033_5">Fluoride Filters</span></a> in our future Little Mansion home. I don&#8217;t want to risk the health of my family so it&#8217;s important to have such preventive equipment.</span></div>

I have been blessed with a pretty good eyesight, that&#8217;s why.  But with the tremendous strain my eyes are getting lately being in front and working with my laptop for more than 10 hours a day, I know that any moment my eyes will take its toll on me.  Besides, our eyes deteriorate as we age and also, it&#8217;s in the genes.  My folks and two of my siblings are wearing spectacles (sometimes, <a href="http://mysoftlens.com/soft-contact-lens.html">soft contact lens</a>) so it&#8217;s possible that I&#8217;ll be wearing my own pair soon.  But thanks to technology, eyeglasses are just an option these days.  There are multifocal contact <a href="http://mysoftlens.com/soft-lenses.html">soft lens</a> that can be worn nowadays.  There are even the <a href="http://mysoftlens.com/disposable-soft-lenses.html">disposable soft lenses</a> ones for those who are always on the go and do not have the luxury of time to clean their lenses.  While I&#8217;m prepared for that, I hope it won&#8217;t be too soon.  Nothing beats the comfort and ease of having an unproblematic eyes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Health experts constantly remind us to exercise often for a healthier and sound body.  In these times when technology inventions make everything so easy for us to move around and has made us &#8220;lazier&#8221; since a particular task can be done with just a click of the button, finding a means to shed the unwanted fats off our body is necessary.  Exercise must be very well regarded because it improves one&#8217;s stamina and strengthens heart and lungs functions.  Also, it helps us achieve our desired body physique.  Not necessarily sexy and slim but in whatever form that we look and feel good. </p>
<p>There are various forms of exercise that people can choose from.  Further, many spa and salons and fitness centers are everywhere that people have instant access to go to whenever they please.  In West Hollywood, CA, one good way to work out is to do <a href="http://www.thehumbleabode.com">pilates west hollywood</a> style at Humble Abode Spa and Salon.  Pilates is a beginner friendly fitness method that uses the Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breath and Flow techniques.  I have always been interested with this type of exercise but haven&#8217;t got the time to do so.</p>
<p>Speaking of Humble Abode, it&#8217;s interesting to know that they&#8217;re one of a kind spa and salon because aside from the usual spa services, they also do <a href="http://www.thehumbleabode.com">endermologie</a> which is said to be the best cellulite treatment.  A pampering <a href="http://www.thehumbleabode.com">massage los angeles</a> service is also available for those wanting to soothe muscle spasms or simply to reflex muscles.  A spa, salon and fitness center in one..now that&#8217;s cool and a must visit spot for the health buffs in the West Hollywood area.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Isn&#8217;t it surprising or should I say alarming how some people treat medicine and drug buying as if they&#8217;re just casually shopping for groceries?  I mean, medicines are something we take in and so, they may be over the counter drugs or <a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs.com/drugs">drug rx</a>, utmost precaution should be observed at all times.  I believe, it&#8217;s not enough that we let ourselves get convinced by advertisements right away or by unknowledgeable people or get satisfied with the doctor&#8217;s explanation (side effects aren&#8217;t fully explained).  We should also do our part by researching in every means that we have the effects or just about anything on that specific drug before taking them.</p>
<p>The controversies involving Bayer and the countless lawsuits filed against them regarding the reported harmful effects of the birth control pills Yasmin and <a href="http://www.accidentinjurylawyerblog.com/2009/09/more_yaz_problems.html">Yaz problems</a> should serve as a warning.  A number of users have already lost their lives and many are still at risk for they were misinformed by the misleading campaigns made by Bayer.  Some users reported development of blood clots in their lungs after taking this pill. The <a href="http://www.fda.gov/">FDA</a> has ordered the company in the past to stop running Yaz ads that claimed the pill was a cure for PMS and acne, the company has just been recently reprimanded again by FDA after several batches of the Yaz ingredient drospirenone, failed inspection following shipment to the US by Bayer from a German manufacturing plant.  In my opinion this could have been prevented if FDA was stricter with their regulations in the first place.  From careful and thorough monitoring of every drug&#8217;s components up to their advertisements, FDA is the rightful and responsible authority to control and go over these things.  To ensure higher standards and safer medications is the agency&#8217;s main role, after all.</p>
