Got Problems? Tell Someone!

I recently watched that great old classic movie, Crocodile Dundee, and was struck by the following conversation taking place at a cocktail party in NYC:

Sue to Croc: “A shrink, that’s a Psychiatrist”
Crocodile Dundee: “Oh, I didn’t know she was nuts”
Sue: “She’s not nuts. She goes there to talk about her problems, to bring them out in the open”
C.D.: “Doesn’t she have any mates”
Sue: “I guess there aren’t any shrinks in Walkabout”
C.D.: “If you have a problem in Walkabout, you tell Wally, he tells everyone in town, brings it out in the open and there’s no more problem.”
Sue: “We could all use more mates” Read more…

Acne – Fastest Way To Rapidly Rid Acne Pimples Spots & Boils? Best Clear Complexion Skincare Tips

What exactly is acne? Good question. The amount of people who believe it to be just facial pimples, or boils on the face is quite high in numbers. While this assumption is right, it is also wrong. Acne involves “much-much more.” There is a lot of people that walk the street with their face covered in pimples and boils purely because of this misconception, and the reason is, because the treatments they use is most likely more appropriate for treating the “much-much more” than just pimples and boils.

Acne is a skin condition which comes either in mild or severe eruptions. Mild acne is usually treated and cleared up with over the counter medication, but, if it is the severe sort then medical intervention maybe necessary. Acne happens due to the overproduction of oil by the oil glands of the skin. The oil that usually lubricates the skin gets trapped in blocked oil ducts and the outcome is pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, but it can also bring deeper skin lesions called cysts. Read more…

Stress is the Biggest Factor in Hair Loss in Women

Hair loss is not often thought of in women. It is usually a man that is thought about when hair loss is mentioned. The truth of the matter is that women lose their hair frequently. It can be much more devastating to a woman to lose her hair. Women tend to hold all of their confidence in their appearance. It might not be the most appropriate source of self-esteem, but it is the truth for many women.

Women also tend to primp and fuss over their appearance more frequently than men do. When there is a hair loss a woman might be unsure of how she should act. Loss of self-confidence is a big problem for women who are losing their hair.

The esteem and self-confidence problem are the biggest issues a woman will have to deal with when she is having a hair loss. There has been some research in this field and treatments have been developed for hair loss in women. It will all depend on the reason for the hair loss, however. A woman should schedule an appointment with the doctor to determine the cause of the hair loss.

The reasons that a woman would lose her hair are different than a man’s reasons. Genetics is the cause of male hair loss, for women the reasons are varied. Read more…

Various Reasons to Go Eco-Friendly – All With a Single Aim – Healthy Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday, I was part of a conversation where the main topic being discussed was the reasons to go eco-friendly. Now, while many of us have always been ignoring this, let me tell you this is significantly important – for us as well as for the generations to come.

During the conversation, there were people having all sorts of views and opinions. Let me share a few highlights. One of the most important reasons to go eco-friendly is to save the natural resources from depleting. Take toilet paper for example. It consumes a lot of trees to prepare the soft and fluffy toilet paper that we all prefer to use.

On the contrary there are better alternatives like the tissue prepared from recycled paper. But unfortunately it does not have many takers. Saving trees from getting cut – tops in the list of reasons to go eco-friendly. Saving water is another important one on this list. Remember, water is the basis of every life form. It being such a vital resource should never be wasted. Read more…

Is Dark Chocolate An Antioxidant Superfood?

If a complete stranger came up to you in the street and said they had a natural food that could add years to your life, strengthen your immune system, and help you to feel more positive and contented, what would you say?

You would probably be very sceptical! And I wouldn’t blame you. If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard it all before. You’ve heard all the over-hyped and over-inflated claims, so would probably walk on past congratulating yourself that you hadn’t fallen for yet another scam!

Well, I’m that stranger and I definitely don’t want you to walk on past! I’m here to tell you that that food really exists and is available to you right now. I’m also here to tell you that the health claims made about it are true, and are backed up by solid scientific research. Somewhat surprisingly, the product I am talking about is – Chocolate!

We tend to view chocolate as a tasty, but basically unhealthy, sweet. We eat it when we are feeling low, give it to our partners on Valentine’s Day, and have it as a reward for something well done. But there is always that sense of guilt after we have consumed it – always that feeling that it is not really good for us. Read more…

How to be Healthy, Wealthy and Wise

It’s interesting that we spend our healthy years during the first half of our lives pursuing wealth….then we spend our wealthy years during the second half of our lives pursuing health. Does that seem “wise” to you? Your health is your wealth!! Be wise and do everything you can to protect it.

You can live young at any age when you feel good, and you can feel good when you develop a lifestyle that promotes wellness. A good habit to practice: consider drinking the proper amount of water your body needs every day. Figure half of your body weight in ounces daily. Divide that amount into five servings spaced 3 hours apart. Take 1/8 teaspoon of high mineral sea salt each time you drink your water, always a half hour before eating. Make sure you have good clean pure water (without chemicals or inorganic minerals) We have found Waterwise distillers to be the most efficient and economical method of thoroughly purifying water.
