Syndrome X, Preventing Diabetes II

HELP! According to G. Reaven, M.D., in the book called "Syndrome
X, The Silent Killer", published in 2000 .......

1/2 of ALL Heart Attacks are caused by Syndrome X 1/2 of ALL
patients who have High Blood Pressure have Syndrome X How to
know if you have this problem? * Get blood work done and check
the "Glucose Fasting Serum" ... the reference range on the lab
report usually shows between 3.3 to 6.1 mmol/L (or 60 to 108
mg/100 mL) for an adult. * If the result is HIGHER ... you are
at risk!!!!!!! * If the result is high ... check other results
on your blood work ... often you will see: * High triglycerides
* High cholesterol * High blood pressure What is Syndrome X?
(other terms include .... Insulin Resistance, Glucose
Intolerance, Hyperinsulinemia, Metabolic Syndrome, and
Pre-diabetes ... they all mean the same thing)

* The food we eat is broken down through digestive processes and
converted into "GLUCOSE" that travels in our blood stream

* The hormone "INSULIN" (produced by the pancreas) transports
glucose out of the blood stream into the cells where it is used
for energy or stored as fat * When insulin does not work as well
as it should at shuttling glucose into the cells, the individual
has "SYNDROME X". The pancreas then pumps out more insulin (as
much as 2x the normal amount) to compensate for the insulin not
working as well as it should.

* The problem then becomes high levels of leftover insulin
remaining in the blood stream after the extra load of insulin
has forced the cell doors open to allow glucose to enter.

These high insulin levels trigger .... * High blood
triglycerides * High cholesterol * High blood pressure * Low HDL
cholesterol * Weight gain * An overworked pancreas

Now you are on the path of an insidious progression from
pre-diabetes to HEART DISEASE, Type-2 adult-onset diabetes, and
a long list of other diseases as well.

Genital Herpes - Natural and Alternative Treatment Remedies

Modern medical science has not been able to produce a cure for
the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and can only offer pharmaceutical
solutions that help ease the pain and speed up recovery from a
genital herpes outbreak. For those that don't want to turn to
medication to manage a lifetime of outbreaks, several holistic
and natural remedies may offer a safer alternative.

TOPICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS

While there is no cure for genital herpes, many holistic
treatment resources and studies have shown that naturally
occurring plants and foods are effective at managing herpes
outbreaks:

- Topical honey application

- Prunella Vulgaris herb

- Tea Tree oil

- Lemon Balm

- Aloe Vera

- Eucalyptus

- red marine algae



SOOTHE THE PAIN

- warm sitz bathes 3 - 4 times a day (sitting in a bath with
your knees up)

- use a hair dryer to dry the areas with outbreaks

- wear loose fitting cotton underwear that is absorbent

- to reduce inflammation and swelling take aspirin or ibuprofen



DIET HELPERS

There are several foods that researches have discovered in
certain studies that have a beneficial effect on reducing the
number of outbreaks people will have over time. The following
foods have been noted in scientific research studies as having a
positive effect:

- cranberries (which naturally contain proanthocyanidin A-1)

- broccoli, cabbage and brussels (which naturally contain
indole-3-carbinol)

- lysine supplement



LIFESTYLE

- get plenty of sleep

- manage stress effectively

- eat a balanced and health diet

- exercise

- reach out and talk to someone you can trust

Since most natural remedies are considered reasonably safe, it
may be worth investigating these holistic options before turning
to invasive and costly medical treatments. Ensure to discuss any
alternative treatment strategies with your health care
practitioner before starting them. You can learn more about

Asthma and Indoor Air

National Academy of Sciences Report - "Clearing the Air: Asthma
and Indoor Air Exposures"

Three years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asked
the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to undertake an
assessment of the role of indoor air quality in the growing
asthma problem. EPA asked NAS to characterize the state of the
science on health impacts and prevention strategies, and to
provide recommendations on needed research.

In response to this request, the National Academy of Sciences
Institute of Medicine has issued a report, Clearing the Air:
Asthma and Indoor Air Exposures, on the role of indoor
environmental pollutants in the development and exacerbation of
asthma. The report affirms the Administrator's asthma initiative
to educate the public about the ways they can help control
asthma by managing indoor air quality.

The report concludes that exposure to indoor pollutants is an
important contributor to the asthma problem in this nation.
Asthma sufferers should consult with their doctor about reducing
their exposure to secondhand smoke, dust mites, pet dander,
molds, and cockroaches.

Since Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors, exposure
to indoor allergens and irritants may play a significant role in
triggering asthma episodes.

Tattoos and Time

Tattoos have represented personal identity, affiliations,
philosophy and creative, choices, from Paleolithic man to
Corporate Execs, and are gaining a new interest and popularity
with both sexes. It's a fact that 10% of the people in the
United States have at least one tattoo somewhere on their body.

A tattoo by definition is permanent. Pigment is inserted under
the epidermis with a needle or sharp object into the dermis
where the color is captured by the body for all time..... well
almost.

Tattoos change over time because the skin is constantly changing
from regeneration, sun, wind, water and other assaults. The
appearance of a tattoo therefore must also change as the skin
stretches, shrinks and ages. Pigment moves imperceptibly over
time on a cellular level and elasticity and skin resiliency
naturally decline. Age spots, tanning and wrinkles can take a
toll on the clarity and color of tattoos too.

How well and how long a tattoo stays defined and the colors
vibrant, is most affected by the immediate aftercare and then
the lifelong skin maintenance. Aftercare guidelines vary, but
the common denominator is: prevent infection and promote healing
to retain as much ink as possible in the tattoo. Tattoos
generally heal completely within two to three weeks, but must be
kept continually moist to prevent scabbing, which removes color
from the tattoo.

A tattoo's number one enemy is sun, tattoo pigments fade like
all other color under direct sunlight; red and yellow are the
most difficult color to maintain, black and blue is the most
stable. Tattoos are part of the living skin organism and a
minimal amount of color is treated like foreign molecules and
transported away through the lymph system. The best defense in
the battle of the fading tattoo is to stay out of the sun, cover
the tattoo with clothing and wear a really good sunscreen.

Tattoos reside in the dermis layers and are seen through the
epidermis. Simple common sense steps will keep the epidermis
clean, healthy, smooth, and hydrated for optimal clarity of body
art. Use a gentle cleanser weekly to remove the build-up of body
oils, dirt, grime, and the dull ashy film that blocks the color
of your tattoos. Daily use of a moisturizer (that dries with a
residue free finish) reflects deeper color.

A tattoo that is expertly applied, healed properly and protected
from the sun can remain vibrant for decades, but there is no
escape from those changes that come, simply as a result of time.

Great Tips to Increase Energy Levels

Feel more alive and energized by applying the following tips:

* Always eat breakfast

Believe it or not, the first meal of the day is the most
important one which provides your body the needed fuel to keep
you going throughout the day. Never miss breakfast; snack on an
energy bar, a banana, or drink a glass of juice, if you're in a
hurry.

* Eat smaller meals and more often

Studies have proven that by eating smaller meals actually give
people more energy as opposed to bigger meals which often make
you tired and sleepy! Try to eat every four hours to maintain
your energy levels.

* Exercise!

Walk, jog, or cycle at least fifteen minutes everyday. Any kind
of physical activity will boost your energy levels. Find time
between breaks, classes, before or after work. Plan ahead and
establish a schedule for exercising. You'll notice an immediate
difference in energy!

* Feed your cells!

If you feel extreme fatigue often or just sometimes, this may be
a sure sign that the cells in your body are not receiving enough
oxygen and nutrients. When our body does not get its required
dosage of oxygen, we feel exhausted much sooner. A powerful way
to feel more energized is to supplement our diet with Cellfood.
To get information on Cellfood, go to: http://www.cellheal.com

* High energy foods

Consider adding high energy foods to your diet such as low-fat
cheese, milk, yogurt, beans, eggs, fish, poultry, and lean meat.

* Juice

Drink a glass of organic apple and pure orange juice. These two
will provide you with plenty of energy, especially when you are
running low!

* Water

Drink water on a regular basis.

* Reduce caffeine consumption!

A great way to help your energy levels is to reduce or eliminate
caffeine from your diet. Remember: caffeine is a stimulant and
will make you jittery.

* Vitamins

Take supplements of vitamins C, E, and B6. Or, eat foods rich in
these vitamins like oranges, almonds, peanuts, pecans.

* Minerals

Take iron as a supplement; it will boost your overall energy.

* Hoodia Gordonii

Another way to boost your energy levels is to take hoodia
gordonii. To find out more about this "cactus" plant, visit:

Wash Your Hands !

Everyone is jumping on the "Wash your Hands" Bandwagon. Your
Momma would be pleased, and if you weren't paying attention, she
was right, it's good for you. The most common way to catch a
cold or the flu, is by touching something or someone and
transferring their germs to your hands, and then onto your mouth
or nose. The common Cold Virus is not airborne, just transferred
from person to person, sometimes moving to a number of objects
before finally getting to your face.

I won't tell you how to wash your hands because I assume Momma
already taught you how to do that, but I will offer a couple of
tips and tell you what to use after your hands are dry. Most
soaps will kill bacteria on contact, but the longer to you wash,
the deeper the soap will penetrate the outer surface of your
skin and remove dirt and bacteria. Be sure to wipe really dry
with a "clean" towel, and then apply a good hand lotion. Why?
Hand lotion prevents dry, chapped skin where bacteria can gather
and hide. There are some really great hand lotions, specifically
for men, that dry quickly, grease free and have no added
fragrance (just ask me, I know them all).

Wash after meeting and greeting or playing and petting
(animals), and wash as often as you can, it's beneficial,
therapeutic and just plain feels good, and your hands need to
feel good; did you know they are the hardest working parts of
your body? Unless you are a professional cyclist or marathoner,
your hands do more repetitive work than any other part of your
body. So what should you do for the hardest working parts of
yourself? While you are washing your hands, take a few extra
minutes to massage the palms of each of your hands and then pull
down each finger a few times, pinching off at the tips. Then
grasp the wrist of one hand, pull it straight out in front of
you and hold it for 10-15 seconds while slowly wiggling your
fingers ... ahhhh, now that feels good and it's good for you.

Skin Health Secrets: How to apply skin care products

It is pretty well known that different people get different
results with the same skin care products. This can be caused by
variations in body chemistry, but more often than not it's
because everyone applies skin care products differently.

Of course, if a particular product doesn't give you the results
you expect, it doesn't always mean you are applying the product
incorrectly. Unfortunately, many products just don't work as
advertised, no matter what you do! To top that off, some
products may work for some people but not for others even when
used properly. Nevertheless, when a product doesn't work, it may
often be due to incorrect application.

Products like skin creams, gels, or lotions are a mixture of
chemicals that have a biological action, applied topically to
the skin. So the effectiveness depends on whether the active
ingredients work, and whether they are absorbed properly into
your skin. Your skin's temperature, hydration, environment and
other factors will influence your skin's ability to absorb the
active ingredients in a product. To be sure that you get optimal
effectiveness of you skin care products:

* Cleanse skin before applying any products. The best time to
apply is right after you come out of a warm shower or bath
because not only is your skin clean, but it is also moist and
warm, so it will absorb whatever you apply much better. Do not
wash with hot water because excessive heat accelerates aging.
Water should be comfortably warm but not hot. However, if you
plan to apply anything oily that blocks the pores, splash cool
water on yourself to close pores. Just pat dry with a towel.
Also, use a charcoal shower filter to prevent exposure to the
chlorine in the water. You probably drink bottled or filtered
water - but you can absorb more chlorine through your skin
during a shower than you would get from an 8 oz. glass of water!

* When cleansing your skin, don't use regular soap or shampoo,
they're much too drying. Use a good moisturizing soap, a skin
cleanser, or plain warm (not hot) water.

* The top layer of skin is mostly made from dry, dead cells.
When this layer becomes too thick, either from aging or poor
skin care skin, the active ingredients of a skin care product
have trouble penetrating. Professional microdermabrasion safely
removes that top layer of skin, revealing the healthier,
younger-looking skin underneath and allowing skin care products
to be better absorbed for greater effectiveness. In addition,
microdermabrasion done regularly strengthens the skin by
stimulating elastin and collagen production, which helps
diminish wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars and many other
blemishes.

* Use short, firm strokes to apply skin care products. Do not
stretch the skin. Do not rub. After applying, gently massage the
products into your skin by tapping the area with your fingers
for 30 seconds or so.

* When using a professional microdermabrasion product at home,
it is important to read the directions and follow them very
carefully. Remember, professional microdermabrasion is usually
applied with expensive machines and medically-trained
professionals. You can save a lot by doing it yourself, but
don't be over-eager to get that 10-years-younger look. Apply the
sponges gently the first time - let your skin adjust to the
application. Add a little more time and pressure each
application, about 2 weeks apart, up to a maximum of 3-5 minutes
(depending on the sensitivity of your skin).

* If you have sensitive skin or allergies, always test the
products you want to use first on a small patch of skin on your
underarm (the soft skin on the bottom of your forearm).

DO YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN? Did you know sensitive skin is very
common? More than 40% of people say they have it. Its causes
include age, heredity, gender, and racial differences. These
questions below can help you find out if your skin may be
sensitive. Of course, a trip to your dermatologist is the best
way to find out!

1. Does your skin get extra dry after you wash it with soap? 2.
Does your skin get extra oily and break out after you use
particular types of moisturizers?

If you answered "Yes" to one or both of these questions, you may
have sensitive skin.

3. Does your skin get red, itch, burn, or feel "tight" after
coming into direct or indirect contact with perfumes and/or
particular shampoos, shaving creams, detergents, dish soaps,
hair sprays, cleaning products, or deodorants?

Irritants to sensitive skin include many household and personal
products. The fragrances and dyes in just about every household
product, and many personal care products, can cause irritation
either from direct contact or even from deposits left on your
clothes, towels, or bedding. If you have any of the classic
signs and symptoms of sensitive skin in Question 3, try to use
hypoallergenic products without ingredients known to cause skin
reactions.

4. Does your skin get red, itch, burn, or feel "tight" after
extended exposure to sun, wind, heat, or cold?

Sensitive skin often reacts to extreme weather conditions. In
fact, anything in the environment that damages your skin's
natural protective barrier against water evaporation -- called
sebum -- can irritate sensitive skin.

5. Do you have acne or psoriasis?

People with acne, psoriasis, or skin conditions like eczema
often have sensitive skin. These conditions impair immune system
functioning and/or destroy the skin's protective barrier. If you
have of these conditions, you may have sensitive skin.

The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed

Author: Jolene Schwartz

Article:
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed!"

The Latin word for laughter is ridiculus, and the ability to see
the ridiculous in others, and ourselves is truly a gift. Humor
brings balance, it isn't merely about telling jokes, it's the
way we view the world.

Laughter brings health benefits too; it dissolves tension,
stress, anger, grief, irritation, and depression. A sense of
humor can help you rise to any challenge, handle the unexpected,
accept the inevitable, and come out of most any difficulty with
a smile; after all if you can laugh at it, you can live with it.

Medical research has found that laughter boosts the immune
system, reduces hormones associated with stress and reduces pain
by releasing endorphins that are more potent than equivalent
amounts of morphine. You knew that, right?

Develop your sense of humor and you will become more productive,
a better communicator, have more friends, because everyone loves
someone who makes them laugh. Laughter keeps an audience alert
and responsive; the adrenaline accompanying laughter helps fix
information in your memory, except in the case where you're so
busy laughing you don't hear the punch line.

The benefits of laughter are too numerous to ignore, now is the
time to consciously STOP, and start to make an effort to laugh.
Here's a hint: and it should go without saying that at first,
you'd best laugh with people and not at them (unless they are
significantly smaller than you). Another hint is laughter starts
with a smile; seldom does uproarious laughter emerge from a
RAGING face.

Don't wait until you are sick of yourself before beginning to
practice Laughter, and you don't need to start with total
immersion by signing up for Clown College 101. You can sneak up
on laughter by renting comedy classics from the video store,
borrowing humorous books from the library, attending comedy
clubs, watching comics on TV, and practicing jokes on co-workers
and total strangers.

In the beginning, it is NOT recommended that you practice your
sense of humor with family and friends because ... they never
forgive and never forget! Ha ha.

Wearing Contact Lens Can Lead To Discomfort And Other

Wearing Contact Lens Can Lead To Discomfort And Other
Symptoms

Did you know that the cornea of the eye is one of the few
locations on your body that directly "breathes" oxygen from
the air? For this reason, your contact lens must be
breathable or else you'll experience much discomfort or even
damage to your eye. Not all contacts are right for
everyone's eyes. Just as people are built differently, so
too are eyes. While some eyes react well to contacts,
others take awhile to adjust to this foreign object and its
related solutions.

Since contacts lie directly on the cornea, some oxygen is
blocked from being absorbed. Some people who find that
their eyes dry very quickly prefer wearing more porous
contacts like soft or flexible disposable contacts. Since
these contacts allow more oxygen to filter through the
lenses, the eye doesn't get as dry. However, these contacts
also allow more light to filter through as well, so the
wearer's prescription must be adjusted for this. Most soft
contact wearers are highly advised to wear sunglasses
outside to reduce sensitivity to sunlight.

A blood shot eye is another condition that appears when your
eye doesn't get enough oxygen. The easiest ways to overcome
a blood shot eye is to not wear your contacts longer than
recommended. Since the cornea has no blood vessels, the
cornea triggers veins around the eye to pump up and get more
oxygen. This response can trigger other conditions as well
such as macular degeneration disease and corneal
neovascularization.

If you encounter pain and swelling in your eyes while you
wear contacts, immediately let your regular physician or
optometrist know. These conditions are not natural for the
eye and sometimes are caused by not properly caring for your
lenses. Routinely cleansing your lenses with solutions is
very important to remove natural deposits on the lenses and
keep your eyes healthy. Special moisteners are available as
drops for contact wearers. Since saliva carries nasty
germs, you shouldn't use your saliva to wash off or clean
your contact lenses. Another tip to keep your eyes from
getting irritated while wearing lens is to always fresh
makeup so that it doesn't flake into your eyes and slide
between your lens and cornea.

Over 30 million Americans wear contact lens; two-thirds are
female and 80% wear soft lens every day. While most contact
lens wearers believe contacts look better on them than
glasses, the benefits of wearing contact lenses are only
justifiable if you take good care of your contacts and your
eyes.

The Importance of Life Insurance

The Importance of Life Insurance

Life insurance means getting one's self-insured so that, the
family or the nominees of the policyholder become entitled
to compensation in the wake of the death of the
policyholder. However, the insurer has to pay premiums for a
certain period of time for this. The amount and the interval
of paying premiums differ from policy to policy and company
to company. It also varies from person to person.

There are two types of life insurance: term life insurance
and whole life insurance. Term Life insurance is for a
specific period of time. It means that the company will
compensate if anything happens within the specified period.
The policy can be for two, five, ten years or whatever the
company policy is. When the period is over, the company
would pay some part of your total premium as maturity
amount. Whole Life Insurance covers for whole life. So, the
premium is higher for this type. Just because, you are
healthy now, does not ensure anything for the future, as no
one knows when a disease may strike. So the company bears
the risk for that and charges a higher premium in this case.

The necessity of life insurance is a hot topic for debate.
Many say that there is no need of life insurance if nobody
is dependent on your earning. They also opine that the
children and senior citizens don't need insurance at all.
However, other group argues that it is a kind of saving,
thus they don't see anything wrong in increasing their
savings with the life insurance. However, insuring children
and newborn babies involve certain emotions.

However, insuring children and newborn babies involve
certain emotions. To some people, insuring children means
to have intent to get back some part of the amount you have
already spent for your beloved son or daughter. Others are
of the opinion that we are living in a very trying and
expensive days; anybody can imagine how costly childcare
is these days. In case, your insured children grow up strong
and healthy, it can provide some financial back up to their
further studies or business. It can also make it easier for
them to get their life insured in the later part of their
life.

Getting life insurance is not easy for the unhealthy and
obese people. Try to stay fit if you want life insurance
with a reasonable premium rate. Chain smokers, heavy
drinkers and overweight people are the worst affected of the
lot. Giving up smoking and drinking is the only advice to
them. It is advisable for the obese people to lose some
weight. They should also take an account of their blood
pressure and take medicines to control that in time. The
buck does not stop here, they need to do some workout,
control blood sugar and check up their bodies regularly.

To Our Health

To Our Health

Proper nutrition and health affects and defines the health
of all people. It helps us grow, develop, work, play, and
resist infections. Malnutrition makes people more
vulnerable to disease and premature death.

What is nutrition? Nutrition is the process of getting the
right kind of food that is needed by the organism for a
proper growth and development. While poverty is the cause
for malnutrition in the developing countries, stress of work
has led to neglecting the basic requirement for health in
the developed countries. Our daily hectic life does not
allow us to take time and think of what we should eat. We
live in a world dominated by schedules and every aspect of
our existence is subordinated to that. This has serious
impact on our health. In order to lead a healthy life you
need to correct your eating habits.

A balanced nutritious diet based centered on nutrients is a
healthy diet. Nutrients are substances found in food that
nourish the body. Proper nutrition allows us to have a
shapely body with appropriate body weight. A balanced
amount of fat and muscle can help you carry out your daily
activities without straining your mentally or physically.
Nutritional disorders result when you don't get the right
amount of nutrients.

There are two groups of nutrients: macro nutrients and
micronutrients. Macronutrients include proteins, fats, some
minerals, water and carbohydrates. These are needed on a
daily basis in large quantities. Micronutrients are
vitamins and some minerals. They are also required daily
but in smaller doses. The FDA provides guidelines for a
healthy diet and nutritional requirements. It is important
to know that nutritional requirements vary based on age,
weight, sex, height and physical activities.

Choosing foods that contain a low percentage of saturated
fat is recommended for eating healthy. Foods low in
saturated fats help the body decrease the cholesterol level.
A gradual decrease in saturated fats is recommended. Also,
incorporating fruits and vegetables into your diet helps
build up the fiber level.

Basically, you need to take a lot of bread, cereal, rice,
and pasta and supplement it with vegetables and fruits in
sufficient quantities. You can further add products like
cheese, milk, yoghurt, meat, poultry, beans, beans, eggs and
nuts but in smaller quantities. Finally, bring your intake
of fats, oils and sweets to the minimum. If you follow the
basics of a nutritional balanced diet you can live a happy
and healthy life.
