A Healthy Reminder

NT — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 06:54:30 +0000

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. 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. I didn’t stand up at once. 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. She seemingly made a sermon how should I prioritize my health over anything else. I did not get offended nor took it wrongly because she was absolutely right. Every point raised was true. So before she sounds like a Doctor and give me a homily or discuss about serious stuffs like vascular surgery and cardiac surgery and other health concerns, I stood up then proceeded to the dining table and ate my lunch. It was a hearty one, by the way. She cooked Monggo and malunggay with tinapa (smoked fish) as a complement. A very healthy dish, indeed. In this era when fatal illnesses are so common like lung cancer 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.

What Is Propecia and What Can It Do?

Help for Men Dealing with Male Pattern Hair Loss or Baldness

Male pattern hair loss or baldness is a common condition. It typically means a receding hair line or baldness on top of the head. Men that have this condition have most likely inherited it (so you have your lovely family genes to thank), but there are also other things that can cause hair loss to occur. It can be a condition that makes you feel very frustrated, self conscious as well as perhaps make you look older than you really are. So, if you want to take action and do something about your hair loss or baldness, there are treatments available. Propecia (also known as Finasteride) is a treatment option that can help you grow back hair you have lost.

How to Find Out More About Propecia?

If you are wanting to buy Propecia and see if it will help you with your hair loss or baldness, you will need a prescription from your doctor for it. Therefore, you will need to visit your doctor and talk to them and answer questions they have about your diet, medications you take, how you take care of your hair or any recent illnesses you’ve had. Your doctor might even want to do a physical exam to make sure there aren’t other things causing the hair loss. Also, a biopsy or blood tests may be needed, it just depends on what your doctor feels is necessary for your case.

Important Things to Know Before You Buy Propecia

Women and children should never take Propecia, it is only recommended for men. If fact, women and children should not be exposed to or even touch the Propecia tablets as the drug finasteride is able to be absorbed through the skin. So talk to your doctor today and find out if you should buy propecia.

Exercise To Achieve Ideal Body Built.

NT — Wed, 19 May 2010 03:55:48 +0000

Skinny jeans and tube tops are eyecandies for me but sadly, I can not hoard lots of these in my closet as they’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’ve always been on the lighter side ever since, thus, the P90X workout, Power 90 or Slim in 6 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’ll check out this 10 Minute Trainer and see if it can help me with my dilemma.

How to Get the Body You’ve Always Wanted

NT — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 02:01:06 +0000

In this wonderful century we are living in, sweating and counting calories may be a thing of the past with a new laser called Zerona 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.

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.

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.

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.

Doctor Checkups.

NT — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 15:40:04 +0000

If there’s one thing that we should not be slacking about is it’s seeing our doctors regularly. When I say regularly, it’s at least once year if everything’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 “irreparable” state, early detection is great.

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’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 “blame” for my overly skinny body.

I’m due to visit my OB-gynecologist one of these days. I’m not pregnant but it’s the time of the year for my annual pap smear procedure. It’s also been a while since I’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’t be asking about vasectomy reversal yet and all those sorts. On the contrary, I’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.

Losing Weight

NT — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 03:27:09 +0000

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 side effects of diet pill), 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…and their undesirable body built and weight stays unchanged.

Careful Words.

NT — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:39:24 +0000

A friend’s Facebook wall post this morning is, I must say, intriguing and from the looks of it, she’s getting her point across indirectly to a friend who “offended” her yesterday. I happened to read the instance that caused her gripe over at Plurk. It turns out that a former friend whom she hasn’t talked for a long time messaged her yesterday and out of nowhere, she commented in a tactless manner how my friend has gained weight over the years and it sounded as if she was about to give a recommendation on the best fat burning pills. She could have at least touch based in a more sensible manner like ask how is she, what’s her work and all those catching up questions. Some people aren’t just sensitive and wise enough to decipher and carefully choose the words to use when conversing with others. And oh, my friend’s not over reacting. She’s pregnant and her hormones are just raging badly, hence, the retaliation.

Harmful Fluoride.

NT — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 23:37:00 +0000

I have always believed that Fluoride, usually found in toothpastes and drinking water, is a good element. It does not cause any harm or its usage is something that we should not be bothered about. Not until I read a specific health article saying that it’s otherwise. Research and studies show that exposure to extreme amounts of fluoride in toothpastes causes dental fluorosis, a condition characterized by chalkish white lines or spots on the affected enamel lining of the teeth. In extreme cases, it causes yellow, brown or black discoloration and pitted teeth surfaces. 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’m sure this is a big issue that will ignite your concern. It’s great that there are Fluoride Water Filters that can be used in our drinking water system at home. My research about this water filter system led me to FriendsofWater.com’s site where numerous filter systems are available like the the best Water Filter Pitchers, bath water filters, shower filters, pool filters and many more. I’ll definitely consider having these Fluoride Filters in our future Little Mansion home. I don’t want to risk the health of my family so it’s important to have such preventive equipment.
