You Come First! by Debra S. Gorin, M.D. A selfish idea? YOU come first? Hardly. The literature of all faiths urges believers to care for themselves. For instance, the cliché “Love thy neighbor as thyself” assumes that you first are able to “love” yourself. Perhaps “love” is the wrong word these days. The concept, however, is still valid. You can only care for others as well as you know how to care for yourself. Think for one moment. How many people rely on you? How many people are affected by how you feel every day? Spouse, children, ... 10 Tips For Preventing Headaches by Schmell Kopfs Never look at the sun directly, especially between 7 am in the morning and 4 pm in the evening.

Sunglasses are the best protection that you can give your eyes when you go out in the sun. The sun beats down ultra violet and other harmful radiations. You eyes need protection from these radiations because they can cause serious ... Fountain Of Youth by W. C. (Bill) Wernet January 21, 2005 ... Under the Knife by Oneil Wilson More and more men who are unhappy about their penis sizes have considered getting under the knife – or having surgery – in an attempt to enhance the appearance and function of their member.

Two Stallones - Two Contenders: Round One by Bradley Harmer The 'last' thing the world needs is yet another health oriented nutrition product on the shelves of every health food store in the world......or is it? Perhaps not, what if the person behind the product happens to believe that most of the nutritional supplements on the market are just not making the grade? What if that person 'believes' that the consumer is constantly 'short changed' when it comes to the quality of these products, and deserves better? These are just two concerns of Salvatore S ...

Menopause and Bioidentical Hormones by Cathy Taylor Can menopause symptoms be safely comforted with bioidentical hormones? Recent research suggests that menopause can be treated with bioidentical hormones, a natural replacement for a woman's body, with no reported side effects. In the past, menopause has been treated like a disease - primarily with Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT (including Premarin, which is made from pregnant mare’s urine, Prempro and Provera), which meant ingesting synthetic chemicals on a regular basis. Now we know that ... Traveling Fitness by Diana Keuilian How to keep in shape while on the road!

Amazing Water by HSF Energy Before the floods of Noah, before epidemics, before disease and before a shortened life span, there was pure, energized water. Different from the water we drink now, free of chlorine, additives, chemicals for purification and toxins, from factories. This water was full of life giving energy, vitalized water. Some 30 years ago, a French researcher determined a means of measuring the energy of earth and water, and called it Bovis scale. Starting at zero and growing to infinity, the level for neut ...

Food for Thought by Debra Gorin, M.D. Depression is a disorder marked by sadness, low energy, impaired concentration, and feelings of dejection. Some people believe that depression is normal. Hectic daily activities and the conflict between family and career cause constant stress. Yet depression and anxiety as a response to stress are not normal. They can be signs of illness, which may worsen and result in physical symptoms or an inability to function. Life was much simpler for the last two generations. Father worked; mother stayed ...

Addressing Hearing Loss With Your Loved Ones by Max Stein As the holidays near, many of us will be surrounded by family and friends – some who we haven’t seen for some time. As we reminisce and update each other on what’s been going on in our lives, most assuredly we will notice changes in our loved ones. It may be weight loss – or weight gain. It could be hair color – or hair loss. The biggest changes we notice are the growth of children. Babies start crawling and walking and talking. Older children enter school.

Healthy bodies have been around for thousands of years, before there were magic bullets for instant fat loss marketed on major television stations or promising easy weight loss in flashy colors on the pages of magazines. By embracing your individuality, and learning how to apply the five keys of healthy eating to your own lifestyle, you can transcend these temporary fads and ease into a lifelong h ... Dressed Up for Sitting Down by Sherri L Dodd There is a saying that you should dress for success. Most usually, this phrase implies fine suits, designer shoes and any extra accessory that you can add to the ensemble. This is because when you hear the word success, most people visualize wealth and its preceding occupation. In the fitness world, dress for success means something different. Not necessarily success from a different type of job, but instead fitness success through your method of dress. This is due to that fact that studies have ...

My All Natural Oasis by Randy Martin About 7 years ago, I decided that my budget could stretch, just enough, to fulfill my lifelong dream of owning my own hot tub. Like most perspective spa owners, my biggest concern was whether the hassle of adding and mixing all those toxic chemicals that (I used to believe) are necessary for clean spa water was really worth the pleasure of after-work escapes into my personal “oasis”. After all, who dreams of an oasis comprised of a hot chemical soup, with labor involved in starting and maintaini ... Weight Loss Tips! by Paul Marsland All throughout my childhood and teenage years I watched helplessly as my mother tried every fad diet under the sun. I recall one time she ate boiled cabbage and nothing else for a whole week. I felt my mothers’ frustration and misery but I could not understand why it was so difficult for her to lose weight and keep it off – until that is I became a weight loss coach. For the past two years I have been assisting people to achieve their ideal weight and in this time I have experienced what contrib ... Half of our Nation is Over Weight! by Paul Marsland Experts say obesity will overtake smoking as the biggest health problem of the decade. They are predicting a quarter of the population will be suffering from weight related diabetes by 2013. Doctors have coined the phrase “diabesity” to describe the condition, which is affecting a rising number of chronically overweight adults and children. In Australia researchers say 4 out of 10 children will be overweight within ten years. They said the proportion of children who are overweight is growing by ... The Health effects of being Over Weight by Paul Marsland Both men and women around the world are becoming fatter and it's partly because of our modern lifestyle, too much fatty food and too little exercise. Some people say, 'Why should it matter if I'm overweight as long as I feel okay?'

Being at a healthy weight on the other hand, can help lower blood pressure, make you feel better and give you more energy. If yo ...

The Solution to Healthy Weight Loss by Marilyn Pokorney The overweight and obesity epidemic is a worldwide problem. There are no official statistics for spending on diet products, but estimates vary from $40 to $100 billion in the US alone, much of that on scams and fad diets that promise the impossible. Research shows that 95% of people who have lost weight find that they regain it back when they return to their normal eating habits. According to the Center for Disease Control's Chronic Disease Center, in 1991 in the United States, only four state ...

Understanding Aromatherapy by Gabriel Foster In the 1920's, a French cosmetic chemist named Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, was one day making fragrances in his laboratory, when he accidentally burned his arm. He then thrust his badly burnt arm into the nearest cold liquid, which turned out to be a tub of lavender oil. To his surprise, the pain was decreased dramatically and left no usual burn results, such as, redness, heat, inflammation, and blisters. He also noticed that the wound healed quickly and left none of the usual scars associated with ... Juice Sensibility by Gabriel Foster Apart from eating many of the wonderful vegetables and fruits that inhabit our planet, drinking them is equally nourishing and satisfying. Juicing vegetables and fruits can also create a dynamic taste treat, causing your taste buds to dance with undiscovered delight.
