My Truth Behind Ear Cartilage Piercing Healing Time

I have wanted to write about this topic of ear cartilage piercing for so long, but I decided to wait until my second piercing fully healed without the slightest pain or redness. First off let me tell you ear cartilage piercing is "NOT" for everyone, because of the long and sometimes unbearably painful healing process. Think long and hard before you get this procedure done because you will have to endure plenty of times when you are uncomfortable.

When it comes to ear cartilage piercing the best method to get it done by is a sterilized needle specially made for the ear. This type of needle will cut your approximate healing time by a few months and it is highly unlikely to shatter your cartilage like the piercing gun would. I got both of my piercings by the gun and I paid a major price because of it, it wasn't because I neglected my healing process. Once you find a place to get your ear pierced whether a tattoo shop, or place like Piercing Pagoda (Where I went) find out the best type of earrings to get. Since I had purchased 1 carat diamond stud earrings the year before I decided I would buy the stainless steel and wear them until I fully healed.

Once you get the piercing clean your piercing twice daily with the included ear solution and the piercing and care literature. You can also use alcohol if you prefer with Q-tips, both are good for cleaning and reducing redness at times. You should also turn the earring after each cleaning, this will help with loosening the hole and not allowing crust to buildup around the earring hole, (this is painful). PLEASE refrain from unnecessary touching, this can cause your pain to increase substantially. When sleeping try not to sleep and apply pressure to the pierced ear, it will hurt, get numb, hurt worse and turn red. Also while you are healing keep your hair away from your earrings, this can cause the hair to get caught up and wrapped around between your ear and the earring, and will hurt when removed and if not can cause infection.

Now for both of my piercings the healing time was approximately 6 months. The misconception that I had to fight through was that after 24 hours. If there is still pain and redness take the earrings out immediately and go to the E.R. "NOT for Me" I kept on with my cleaning regimen and never experienced long-lasting massive swelling or even infection at ALL. Now don't get me wrong it was a very painful experience that I decided to get done "Twice" up until about the 6 month period I rarely was without any type of discomfort.

This is my experience and opinions that I am sharing with you. If this seems too intense for you and your tolerance for pain you may want to try alternative ways to jazz up your ears like; ear cuffs or ear magnets where piercing is not needed. Either way which ever decision you choose, make sure it is what you want and will sacrifice to endure, Happy Piercing!

Life As an Empath

My mother was a firm believer in the term "tough love" and when I did something bad, I was going to hear about it. In fact, even when I didn't do anything bad, I was still going to hear about it, and so would half the block. And while now I can look back on my past lovingly and understand that I was dealing with a victim of an extremely large ego, as a child, I simply didn't have the awareness to comprehend this notion. Now, I know that if one doesn't take the time to question their beliefs, they may come to realize later on that they've been living their entire lives with the beliefs and values of others. And often, these beliefs can be harmful to not only others, but to the Self. I'm thankful for this knowledge, and I'm actually grateful for any suffering I endured throughout my childhood, because it brought me to this realization. My pain helped me awaken to the truth of how we choose our thoughts and create our reality.

It took me until my late teenage years to really start questioning my own belief patterns. Up until then I had been like a psychic sponge, taking on anyone else's ideas and opinions about me. It started to dawn on me that I had been the victim of a victim of a victim, etc... and that it was up to ME to question the root of the ideas that shaped how I viewed myself and the world. I did some deep self-investigating, removing my limiting beliefs and replacing them with ones that empowered me. I took responsibility for my life and forgave the people who I had once blamed for my lack of self-confidence. I began to wake up to my power and it became easier and easier to speak my truth. I began to love myself for exactly who I was and I grew to learn that I could be myself around other people without fear, but strangely the anxiety was still there...

Being highly intuitive, able to understand and sense from a young age that I was much more than flesh and blood, I was naturally extremely sensitive to energy. At age 13 I taught myself how to meditate and work with my own energy. I became very aware of my inner body and the energy of others. I often tuned into this frequency, to this level of reality more so than the one I could see with my eyes. I became intensely fascinated with learning how to sense others' energy and left myself open to "read" them. And while this opened up a new and exciting world for me to discover, it also bought on a whole slew of problems. I didn't realize that I had to close myself off sometimes, that I had to learn how to protect myself from all the psychic sludge other people were giving off.

Into my mid-twenties I continued to be able to sense and feel others' energy fields. And while this made it easy to get along with people who were on the same frequency as me, it made it extremely difficult to even be in the same room as people who were on a vibration that clashed with my own. I began to notice that my social anxiety, though partially due to my belief systems, could mostly be attributed to feeling the thoughts and emotions of others. When someone around me was anxious, I became anxious. I actually took on their pain. And I couldn't differentiate between my pain and someone else's.

This extreme sensitivity made working around lots of stressed-out people almost impossible, though I still found myself drawn to jobs where I would get to deal with people on a regular basis. After reclaiming my power and re-programming my belief systems, I felt more comfortable around people, but I went from one job to the next, either quitting or getting fired because I just couldn't take all the stress. I began to question whether I was spoiled or if there was truly something wrong with me. Why couldn't I just hold down a job? Why couldn't I just go to work, deal with people, and come home and relax? Working at a coffee shop was supposed to be charming wasn't it? I was smart, able-bodied. What was wrong with me? Why couldn't I just laugh off the stress?

It was after recently seeing a Qigong healer that I realized fully that I was responsible for all the stress I was feeling. It was me who was leaving myself too open. It was me who had decided to take on everybody's pain. I just hadn't been conscious of it. Once again I had to re-program myself. I started to pay attention to my aura. Up until seeing this healer, I had never really stopped to sense my aura. I had only been interested in sensing and balancing out my nadis, or energy channels in my body. I had to change my perspective completely and train myself to become intensely aware of my field of protection. I learned that I could contract or expand my aura, that I could make it fluid and yet strong through simply becoming present and aware of it like I had done with my energetic body. And in doing so, I put space around myself and the challenges I was facing.

Now I can confidently be around big groups of people without taking on their stress. I've learned to ask myself the right questions: Are these my thoughts and emotions or someone else's? Where is my aura? What's going on inside of it? I've learned to stand my ground, to remain in my own protective circle of light, and to always speak from the heart. I understand that it's okay for me to not pay attention to that which doesn't serve me.

I can honestly say that I'm no longer a victim. I've learned to take responsibility for my life. I dug down deep and dared to question WHY? And trusted the answers that came from my heart. And while I still sometimes find myself soaking up others' stress, I have the awareness to catch myself in the act and stop.

I know that I still have work to do on myself, but I've learned to stop judging and labelling situations and people as negative. Instead I've come to view every challenge life throws at me as an opportunity for growth and expansion. I'm thankful for my extreme sensitivity and realize that all the stress and pain of growing up "different" has humbled me and helped me connect to the world on a much deeper level.

So the next time you're feeling stressed out, ask yourself: Where is this stress coming from? An old belief pattern that I haven't let go of... or am I taking on someone else's pain.

Being highly empathic will bring its difficulties, but the rewards are so worth it, so don't worry if you're having difficulties with people. Don't reject or be afraid of your amazing abilities! Know that you're in exactly the place you need to be in for your own spiritual development.

Remember, you're in charge of your thoughts and emotions! You can't control other people but you can control how you react to them. It's never the situation that makes you upset, just your thoughts about it. Take time to become still and learn to become the observer of your Self. Get in touch with your body. Take deep breaths and let life flow.

What Would You Prefer - A Holiday or Heart Attack?

On a trip to sun-drenched Hua Hin in Thailand, it really opened my eyes to the lack of healthy people. For those of you not familiar with Hua Hin, it is a relaxing beach side town 144km south west of Bangkok. On average, it provides residents and visitors with a glorious 260 days of sun per year. Plus, you can live like Kings and Queens because the food and accommodation is relatively cheap.

However, what astounded me was that 90% of the people (excluding the locals) were out of shape or overweight - a heart attack or Type 2 diabetes in the makings. Whether you're on a holiday or business trip you can and should take care of your health. Especially if you have children as they learn from the parents.

My trip was a mixture of business and leisure. Having turned 40 I allowed myself to indulge a little for this extra special occasion! As long as most of the time your diet is great, your body will be able to cope with a bit of indulgence. Yet, what I saw everyday were most people filling their plates with fatty, processed and non-nutritious foods, washed down with soft drinks or sodas.

My breakfast usually started with some fresh fruit and salad. Sometimes I had a freshly made omelette, other times it was sauteed vegetables. The rainbow of colours meant that there were plenty of nutrients.

I asked a tourist who was visiting from Europe if I could take a photo of his meal. He looked at me strangely but obliged. The plate was full of bread loaded with margarine and also a croissant with jam. It just looked bland, boring, lifeless and not nutritious at all. It was just a plate of processed carbs, fat and sugar, not to mention all the additives and preservatives hidden within. This plate of food is devoid of quality nutrients.

He asked what the photo was for? I attempted to explain what I do as well as the difference between our meals, and to eat more of the foods I had on my plate. There were language barriers but I think I convinced him; the thumbs up sign for positive affirmation seemed to work. And, especially after someone had explained to him that I just turned 40 and it was translated back to me that he thought I looked 28! Over the course of the trip I did see him getting some fresh fruit which was a great. Bit by bit I say - gradually bring change into your daily habits for a lifelong, healthy positive change.

What's scary though is that this person was not the only one... the majority of people were eating the same as him and so were their children. All this is doing is clogging up your system and filling you up with lots of calories but zero nutrients.

Imagine the two plates of food. The healthier option is colourful whereas the other is monotone - it looks lifeless in terms of colours and as they say, "You are what you eat." Rainbow targeting is one of, if not the greatest way to eat. Lots of colourful wholefoods means a broad spectrum of nutrients that supply your body with the tools it needs to keep you healthy.

What I also couldn't believe is that many people just about never moved. You'd see them in the same spot all day every day. What ever happened to using those beautiful beaches to go for a walk, a run or a swim? Laziness and lack of movement not only helps to stack on the kilos but also makes you more and more lethargic. It was great though, to see a few people doing yoga and meditation on the beach as the sun rose. So at least there were some people looking after themselves but they were definitely the minority.

Many people use a holiday or business trip as an excuse to let themselves go and eat crap. Here are some of the excuses, "I'm on holiday, I want to enjoy myself by eating what I want." "It doesn't have the same food that I have at home, so I have to have the unhealthy alternative because that's what I know." I've heard them all before.

It really doesn't have to be this way. Here are 5 simple tips on how you can stay healthy whilst on a trip.

1. Portion control - whether you're at a hotel/resort or self-catering accommodation, make sure you opt for the entree-sized plate, and not the main size. If there are no smaller plates then you don't have to pile the food on.

2. Aim to fill your plate with 2/3 fresh fruit and salads. These have high water content so will help fill you up and provide you with lots of nutrients. Plus, by having some raw foods the enzymes help with digestion unlike the cooked foods that have most of the enzymes cooked out of them.

3. Exercise! I'm not talking about running a half marathon every day, but make sure you get a decent amount of movement. Therefore, if you do indulge a little then you will be burning up those calories. This could be as simple as a 30 minute walk along the beach or walking up and down stairs in a park.

4. Drink lots of water and good fluids - especially if you are visiting a place with a warmer climate, as you'll most likely sweat more. Therefore you'll need to replenish the fluids you've lost plus some.

5. Do your research - read trip reviews and forums to understand the area you are visiting. When you get to your destination speak to the locals about where to go to get good food, whether that be at a market or wherever. Sometimes language barriers are a challenge. You could get some of the basics from people before you go. And what also works a treat often are pictures!

It really isn't hard to stay healthy on a trip. So, don't be another heart attack waiting to happen when you go away! Be sensible but also allow a little indulgence if you've been good.

Diet Tips for Post Workout Drinking

Being in college, it is natural for people to party and drink socially, but there presents the infamous question, "How bad is drinking alcohol after a workout?" Will going out on the weekends have bad effects on your fitness efforts? Well, the consequences may not be as bad you might think there are two things you need to keep in mind, alcohols effects on both muscle recovery and body composition.

1. Make sure you are taking in protein once you finish a workout. There was an experiment focusing on post workout drinking that had the athletes get drunk after an intense workout session and as a result, their protein synthesis when down almost 40%. These athletes were then set up for another trial, where they were given a whey protein shake before they started drinking, and the amino acids in the whey were able to reduce the effects of the alcohol to almost 20%. Even though this may still seem like a lot, drinking this heavily once a week is not a big deal. Also if you did something that lowered protein synthesis three times a week, it still would not be that detrimental to you. Also, the athletes in the study were taking in around 8 vodka shots in a short amount of time, obviously if you drink less, the effects on protein synthesis will be less. So next time you plan to go out with your friends post working out, have some chocolate milk or better yet, have a protein shake at the ready, and you will not have to worry about ruining your hard work.

2. Another thing you are going to need to watch is the calories of whatever you are drinking. If you are trying to lose weight, or even maintain it, calories always matter! Try to make it your aim while working out to have 5 drinks a week, and change it from there depending how your weight loss is coming along. If you drink this much a week, your body will benefit by increasing your HDL cholesterol, but anymore and the extra calories start to outweigh the benefits toward your HDL cholesterol. Keep in mind as well that all drinks are different in the amount of calories you take in. Having drinks with sodas and juices as mixers can end with you overloading on calories and end with a bad hangover from all the sugar. Try choosing simple drinks like vodka and club soda where you can still party and minimize the amount of calories you take in.

How To Keep Your Focus On Losing Weight

A lot of people want to lose weight but many of them fail to do so. One of the main reasons why people tend to fail at losing weight would be because they tend to lose their motivation towards attaining their dream figure. Trust me, losing weight is pretty difficult especially if you don't really focus into it and you don't have enough people to back you up. I've met a lot of people who tried to lose weight for a couple of months and after that they just quit before they got tired.

So how do you exactly stay motivated?

1. Make it a habit

According to a popular saying, if you something 5 times consistently, it will become a habit. When it comes to weight loss habit, I'm not just talking about going to the gym and eating the same kind of food but rather having the habit of staying healthy which includes doing the right methods and also having the right mindset. If you truly want to lose weight, don't focus on losing those pounds but rather focus on becoming healthy.

2. Follow the right people

As much as possible follow the right people who really knows a lot about losing weight. Make sure that you do your research first about someone before actually buying into their ideas and products. Go for people who actually lost weight using methods that they are not afraid to disclose. When it comes to going for the person to mentor you, you have to be very careful because the wrong kind of mentors could really mess up your health.

3. Have a good support group

One of the best ways to lose weight is by doing it with people that you already know. If you go to the gym with your friends who also do workout regimens then that would be a great push for you since the gym experience will make it less tiring and more fun. Aside from that, having a support group will definitely be great since they could encourage you to keep on going.

4. Use the right weight loss products

There are tons of products that could help you cut your weight, it could include workout tools and even weight loss supplements. When it comes to weight loss supplements, it is important that you should go for ones that could help you lose weight naturally this is because undergoing natural weight loss is less risky and at the same time more effective.

4 Of the Best Ways to Lose Weight

What are the best ways to lose weight? In this article we look at the top four best ways to lose weight.

Tip #1 - No Pain No Gain

You have probably heard this before. However, it is probably still worth mentioning. Exercise is one of the best ways to lose weight.

Your first step should be to plan out an exercise routine. Your plan should be based on things such as your age, body type and gender. You can either consult a professional or design a program yourself. Remember to balance out your program. Even the best program in the world is pointless if you are unable to stick to it.

Tip #2 - You are what you eat

Diet is equally important if not more important than exercise. Almost all nutritionists agree that it is among the best ways to lose weight. If you eat the correct foods you can easily avoid over 80% of all diseases present today.

The important thing here is to eat nutritious foods that your body needs. When you feel hungry your body is communicating to you. It is asking you for nutrients that it needs. If you fill it with junk your body will just store it as fat. It will then continue to ask you for more food.

Tip #3 - Timing is Key

It is important that you time your meals and exercise. For best results try and have small regular meals throughout the day. Limit your eating at night. This will stop your body from storing fats when you sleep. Eat more during the day when you are physically active.

Also try to do your exercise in the morning. This will speed up your metabolism and help you burn fat.

Tip #4 - You are also what you drink

A lot of people think that drinks don't make them fat. This is not true. Drinks with no nutritional value can be very harmful. Soft drinks are full of sugar and preservatives. Your body converts this to fat when you drink too much of it.

Alcohol is also bad as it is a poison. When you drink it your body is forced to abandon everything else and try to remove it. This process can damage your liver. In the long run this will reduce your body's ability to burn fat.

Most of your drinks should be water. This is what your body craves when you are thirsty. However, if you want more variety you can also use the following weight loss drinks:

• Green Tea
• Skim Milk
• Apple cider vinegar (only 1-2 tablespoons a day)

Goal Setting For A Healthier You Is a Useful Tool

Let us face the facts. Just about everyone needs to make goals when it comes to their health, nutrition, and fitness. There are a lot of out shape, overweight, and unhealthy people out there. A good way to achieving these goals is first making them. And, we aren't talking about unrealistic goals like achieving a body of a movie star, especially when we know of photo shop. We are talking about realistic achievable goals like; losing those extra pounds, maintaining a healthy diet, gaining muscle, being more active, goals that relate to the personal you. Setting and making goals are the best way to make progress a useful tool when it comes to your health. But, you got to have an award system to making this a useful tool. You got a lot to aim for especially when it comes to you.

How to set goals:
• Think of what you have to achieve and what you want to achieve. Talking about what you have to achieve as in; doctors' orders, do or die when it comes to your health. As for what you want to achieve fitting into that size 2 or seeing that muscle when you flex. I think you get the point.

• Make a priority list of everything you thought of, what you have to achieve and want to achieve. You will soon find out they most likely all can be achievable in the same way, through diet, and fitness.

• Now look at that list and figure out how you need to get there. Do you need to change your diet? Do you need to hit the gym or workout more? Whatever it maybe write it down too.

• Now to make your goals. It is easier to achieve your goals when there is not a number on the scale or in clothing to look at. To make your goals change into life changing events and more rewarding over time, look at the list of how you need to get to where you need or want to be health wise. Make your goals off that list. I will eat clean for 15 days no cheat days either. I will go to the gym 10 times in the next two weeks. You see, making life changes through your goals is what is going to help you achieve where you need to be and want to be.

Once you made your goals it is all about achieving them. Now for the rewards system when you finally achieve that goal. Rewarding yourself can be beneficial if you keep your mind set to your health and goals.

How to reward yourself:
• Do not reward yourself with something that is going to go against your goals. Like if you made a goal to eat clean for so many days. Do not go and reward yourself with a big mac. Probably would be a good idea to stray away with rewarding yourself with food period.

• Reward yourself with something that will be a good tool in helping you further achieves greater goals. Like a gym membership or a new piece of equipment. A new handy dandy notebook to write everything down from fitness to meals. New clothes might be in order because you have lost some weight. A nice little blender for your protein shakes.

• A good reward is always money; money can take you places and buy you tons of things. If some of your goals are not as far fetched as others reward yourself with some cash you can stash away so you can really reward yourself when you reach that goal that is even further away.

See, goal setting can be a very useful and free tool when it comes down to your health and fitness. And, you can make it so you can reward yourself in more than one way. You reached the goal what is a reward in its self and you can reward yourself again for reaching your goal. This can be a very effective system when it comes to reaching your ultimate health.

How to Stay Healthy Over Spring Break

Spring break is just around the corner for individuals across the country. This may mean vacationing or simply enjoying some downtime in your hometown. During your break, you want to relax and enjoy yourself. Sometimes this can include some unhealthy behavior; especially for those looking to lose weight. From extra calories to lazy days relaxing by the pool, spring break can make it increasingly more difficult to stick with your weight loss plan. If you are planning a vacation or a stay-cation, think ahead. There are ways to stay healthy during spring break.

1. Never engage in yo-yo dieting thinking this is a way to stay healthy during spring break. Before a vacation or getaway, it is common to be slightly more conscious over the amount of food you are consuming. This especially holds true when beach attire is involved. Being especially conscious of the food you eat is fine, but you should avoid any form of crash or yo-yo dieting. This can reduce your energy levels and you will be much more likely to overindulge while on vacation. Another thing to remember about crash diets is the second you stop the diet, the pounds will creep back very quickly as your metabolism works to adjust itself.

2. Avoid giving yourself a free pass on calories while on vacation; this can help you to stay healthy during spring break. As much as you don't want them to count, calories still count while you are on vacation. While a burger and fries may sound like the perfect spring break meal, try to avoid the temptation. Do your body a favor by nourishing it with foods that are rich in vitamins and will give you plenty of energy to enjoy your vacation.

3. Don't skip your workout just because you are on vacation. Pack your sneakers, a pair of shorts and a workout top. Remember to stay healthy during spring break, you cannot just lounge by the pool all day. Instead of just lounging swim some laps in the pool, go for a run on the boardwalk or enjoy a walk on the beach. You can still workout while enjoying the scenery that spring break has to offer.

4. Never skip a meal to stay healthy during spring break. Skipping meals will only make you more hungry and more likely to overindulge. Be sure to enjoy the local cuisine in moderation and make sure you are not hungry -- hunger can put in you in bad mood.

Try to avoid the late night snacking. With round-the-clock room service or a late night on the boardwalk, snacking can be tempting. It's okay to treat yourself to something little, but don't use this opportunity to have an entire late night meal.

Basic Shaving Tips for Men

Shaving Tips for Men

There is not a man on the planet that enjoys a tug-and-pull, dry shave that leads to aftershave rash. Not only does it hurt, but it really puts a damper on your image. There is a way around this common problem, and shaving can actually become a pleasurable experience. These shaving tips have been compiled by veteran barbers that want everyone to be able to enhance their own shaving capabilities.

1. One of the keys to a painless, clean shave is making sure that your facial hair is wet. Facial hair will absorb moisture up to 30% of its volume. When the hair is swollen with water, it becomes weak, and therefore easier to cut. Taking a hot shower would be most ideal to insure the facial pores are open and your hairs are full of water, but if that is not possible, placing a hot towel on your face or splashing water will suffice. "Shaving dry" is the primary cause to razor burn.

2. Choosing a quality shaving cream is essential to one's shaving experience. A high quality shaving cream will contain more lubricants and moisturizers. A quality shaving cream will generally have less foaming and create a reach creamy lather. The primary function of shaving cream is to allow the blade to glide over the facial hair areas. A good shaving cream will not only prevent nicks and cuts, but will act as a moisturizer for your face as well. Shaving cream should be left on your face for no less than a minute before shaving to keep the beard as soft and wet as possible.

3. Ideally, you should shave in the direction of the beard growth, or in other words, shave with the grain. Generally, you should start with the sides, work your way towards the mustache and lip area, then lastly, the chin. Chin hairs are the toughest and most stubborn; leaving them for last will allow the water and shaving cream to soften the hairs as long as possible. If a closer shave is still desired after shaving with the grain, shaving against the grain will now cause less irritation on the skin.

4. The final step in your shave needs to consist of a good rinse. Wash your face of all the oils with hot water (some people then suggest applying tea tree oil, a cleansing product) then pat dry your face with a towel. Be sure to pat dry, not rub; at this point your skin is still sensitive from the shave, rubbing may cause irritation and aftershave rash.

Follow these four steps and guidelines to help you achieve your cleanest shave yet. Say goodbye to shaving problems and hello to healthy skin.

Properly Cleaning the Kitchen

Due to the fact that the kitchen is the main food preparation area, it is important to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene in this room. Cleaning the kitchen can be a large undertaking, but is of crucial importance.

Before starting, make sure all the required cleaning supplies are collected together and easily accessible, and remove any items which do not belong in the kitchen. Rubbish should be bagged and taken away, as should any toys, shoes or other items which have been left in the kitchen by mistake. Put other kitchen items back into their proper places, such as in cupboards on in their location on the counter top. Run a sink full of hot soapy water and whilst it is slightly cooling, work on other areas. The oven is generally the best place to start, as any fumes release through scrubbing are removed through the rest of the cleaning process. Full a heat resistant vessel with vinegar and place in the oven for 10 minutes on a high heat. Once the oven has cooled, any debris should wipe away easily. Whilst the oven is cooling, however, use the soapy water in the sink to clean all hard surfaces in the kitchen. Working from top to bottom, clean cupboard doors, walls and counter tops, as well as the top of the cooker and the fridge doors. With the walls, be sure to remove any particles from the tile grout. Tiles are a common wall covering in kitchens, but not terribly hygienic. The rough surface of the grout harbours bacteria and offers a place for the colony to congregate. In modern kitchens and more professional environments, uPVC wall cladding is being used because it solves all of these problems of contamination as well as several others. Where this has not been fitted, however, be certain to clean thoroughly and perhaps consider using the hygienic cladding in the future.

To clean the cooker and the hood, use a strong degreasing agent. If there is stubborn grease, spray the cleaner and leave it to soak for a few minutes to help shift the debris. Filters from cooker hoods can usually go into the dishwasher, else can be soaked in a very hot bowl of water with a high concentration of soap. This is also a good time to check the appliances in the kitchen for their cleanliness. Many people's dishwashers or washing machines live in the kitchen and would benefit from being cleaned themselves. To clean a dishwasher, again place a cup of vinegar onto the top shelf of the machine and run a full short cycle. Vinegar will also remove hard water deposits from the coffee machine, if ran through the system, and can be brought to the boil in the microwave to remove stains there. Bring the vinegar to the boil inside the microwave and then leave the door closed for one hour before wiping.

Once these tasks are complete, empty the sink of water and clean it too. Focus on the taps which often become contaminated and dirty, as well as any residue in the base of the sink or on the draining board.

Five Top Tips For Getting Back To Sleep

A common complaint we hear from both men and women is that they are fed up with suffering from sleep deprivation. As we all know too well, not getting a good night's sleep is no joke. Sleep deprivation can make you lethargic and irritable. Your cross disposition can have a knock-on effect to both the personal and professional relationships in your life. It's not just waking-up frequently - often from prostate health problems in men, or the dreaded night sweats suffered by menopausal women - that is the main problem. It's the inability to get back to sleep that causes the real frustration. So we did some research and found some tricks you can add to your arsenal for getting back to the land of ZZZs and wake up feeling refreshed.

Stay in the dark!
If you wake up and need to use the bathroom, do it without turning on the lights. You are a big boy or girl, I'm sure you can find your way! The problem with light is that it stimulates our bodies and brains, so staying in the dark will make it easier for your body to relax back into sleep mode. The brighter the light and the longer you are exposed to it will affect how much your body becomes active and stimulated by the light.

Read a book or magazine
We are all familiar with the sensation of not being able to keep your eyes open whilst reading a book. So long as the subject isn't too exciting, reading will calm your brain and body which means it shouldn't be too long before you feel your eyelids getting heavy. Of course, reading requires a light but, it should be OK, so long as it's a dim lamp.

Keep still
For some strange reason tossing and turning is very appealing whenever you can't get off to sleep. It's even stranger when you realize that it's the very last thing you should be doing. Too much activity is interpreted by the brain as a reason to stay alert, making it that much more difficult to fall asleep.

Think 
One way of controlling your movement in bed is to concentrate on something else - and I don't mean your iPhone or laptop, as this will stimulate you. I mean focus on counting sheep, or relaxing your body muscles starting with your toes. If you have the discipline not to let your mind wander, you should be snoozing again before you reach your knees. This kind of mental concentration, like meditation, takes practice, but give it some time. The rewards are worthwhile.

Say no to siestas
It is so tempting at times to have a little power nap during the day, especially if you've had a bad night's sleep. But if you can resist the temptation you should do so. Napping during the day can create a habit of your body thinking it should awaken during the night. Resist and reap the benefits of a restful night's sleep. Good night!

Crila for Menopause is a herb that works astonishingly well. Our customers have reported significant decreases in their hot flashes and night sweats. It is a natural, estrogen free, alternative to HRT and continues to improve the quality of sleep, and life in general of so many of our happy customers.

Wellness Tips For a Better 2014

It's already March of 2014 and some of you may have already abandoned your New Years resolutions, and that's OK. But we're here to let you know that there are still things you can do to ensure that you have a healthy and happy rest of 2014. A healthy lifestyle can lead to so many opportunities whether it's motivation at work, or simply meeting a new friend at the gym. It's the little things in life that can contribute to our overall happiness, which is an essential part to living a fulfilling life.

Changing your mindset can sound scary but it doesn't have to be. Not many people like change or the fact that it doesn't come easily so taking it one step at a time is a way to "cope" or as we like to call it "adjust". When you include small steps towards your goals over a period of time, you'll notice big changes later down the road. Adjusting to change all at once can lead to stress or a mental overload, which will inevitably leave you feeling burnt out. For example, when starting a diet, a lot of people can get way ahead of themselves by cutting out every and all foods that are bad for them. Logically this makes sense. However, by doing that, you're not easing you or your body into the process so it will make it even harder for you to keep on your diet. You will be left feeling unmotivated and defeated. Substitute one item during each meal for a healthy one so that you can gradually ease yourself into healthier food choices. And this example can go for virtually anything in your life. It's all about taking small steps to reach your goal.

In a similar point we made in one of our previous articles, being able to manage your stress is crucial in living a well balanced life. Don't let stress get the best of you! It's obviously inevitable but that doesn't mean we can't learn how to handle it. Activities such as exercising, yoga, or eating healthy are all things that can help combat stress. It's up to you to find what your escape may be; perhaps it's losing yourself in a book or just a casual jog throughout your neighborhood. It's whatever works best for you and your stress. Also, surround yourself with people who are always going to push you forward and not backwards. You will need people that will build you up instead of breaking you down so that they can push you to reach your goals.

Let 2014 be the best year yet for you. Do what you can and surround yourself with the right people. It's the combination of all things positive that will contribute to your happiness as well as your well-being. Remember, a happy you means a happy life so this is motivation enough to make this year a great one.

Gym Workouts Vs DVD Workouts

Over the years, the need to work on your body has been promoted widely with fitness programs. Workout DVDs are now being marketed left, right and center. DVD workout programs are proving to be a good alternative to those of us that do not have the time to squeeze in the gym for long hours.

Deciding on whether to pay for a gym membership or simply buy a home workout DVD is dependent on many factors. For starters, some people feel the need to work out at the gym because they require the guidance or simply need to leave their homes and distractions for a more effective workout session. On the other hand, there are those who prefer working out at home probably because they are more comfortable in the privacy of their homes or have limited free time. Whatever the case, you are still working out which is the most important thing. Let's have a close up of the pros and cons of both gym and DVD workout programs.

DVD Workouts

DVD workouts are obviously convenient and if reviews are to be trusted, a lot of people have benefited from them. Perhaps the most important thing is the fact that these DVD workout programs are developed by fitness professionals. This gives the user surety that the exercises are effective. It also helps that many of these DVDs are accompanied by a health plan which includes a diet and this goes to show that there is no shortcut to fitness.

Another benefit that comes with DVD workouts is the convenience. You get to workout at your own pace and with your schedule because accommodating the gym into a busy lifestyle can be quite tricky. You can find comprehensive variety and you can accommodate different types of exercises and workouts into your regime. There are workout DVDs for yoga, aerobics, dance and much more.

Gym Workouts

There are a good number of reasons why you might want to go to the gym as opposed to working out at home. The first and the most important is that you have the guidance of a fitness expert. The fitness expert is able to create a program that is unique to your needs. The second advantage is that you have access to all the machinery you need without any investment. The motivation levels are higher at gyms as you have a group of people who are just like you and because you can see others getting results, you get more motivated to work on yourself. It's very easy to give up on fitness when you are working out alone.

As you can see, both have their pros and cons. The good news is that they are both effective and regardless of whether you are getting your body in shape at the gym or at home, you are still getting that much needed physical activity.

We all want to get in shape and this is possible with a workout regime. The good news is that both options are available and you can choose to workout at home or hit the gym.

What Will Medicaid Pay For?

What does Medicaid Pay For Anyway?

Medicaid states that they will pay for nursing home care if you pass all of the requirements that are listed, but only if you agree to chip in your monthly income.

First, here are the requirements:

1. Sickness: A doctor has to certify you are really sick enough to need nursing home care. Generally, they determine whether you are able to feed yourself, dress yourself, walk unassisted, get to the bathroom and get your business done without assistance, etc. They also consider your cognitive abilities.

2. Age: You have to be 65 years of age or older, or legally blind, or disabled according to Social Security standards.

3. Citizenship: You must be a US citizen.

4. Residence: You must be a resident in the state that you are applying.

5. Income: Your monthly income must be less than the cost of the care that you are receiving.

6. Assets: Your "countable" assets must be less than $3,000, not counting exempt assets or unavailable assets. Exempt assets include your house, one automobile, and your personal and tangible possessions, such as furniture and clothing. Everything else is generally countable, your CD's, savings, checking, investments, other real estate, IRA's, etc.

7. Compliance: The look-back period for gifts is five years, meaning that if you have given an asset away inside the last five years, the value of that gift may cause a period of ineligibility. The penalty imposed by that gift will begin on the date that you apply for Medical Assistance.

So if you are in a nursing home and getting Medicaid benefits, you have to give your income to the nursing home every month. The nursing home then bills Medicaid for the difference between the rate Medicaid will pay them and the amount you contributed from your monthly income. Now, Medicaid does not pay for everything, but they pay for a lot.

What Medicaid Pays For

First, they pay for room and board for a semi-private room. Sometimes you can get a private room, but that's only if it's convenient for the nursing home and they are willing to accept the semi-private rate from Medicaid.

The nursing home is not allowed to charge you more than the semi-private rate regardless of your accommodations.

Medicaid also pays for all medicine while you are in the nursing home; and for health insurance premiums, including your Medicare and Medi-gap premiums.

Medicaid pays for physical or occupational therapy if ordered by a doctor.

And finally, Medicaid pays for medically necessary odds and ends like diapers, walkers, oxygen etc. They don't pay for private nurses or a TV in the room or most things you would pay extra for if you were in a hospital.

How Air Ambulances Help the Ill and Injured

You may think of an air ambulance as an aircraft that transports injured people form an accident to a medical facility, but air ambulances also are used to move patients from one medical facility to another. For example, an accident victim that suffered a brain injury may need physical therapy after recovering from his injuries and the facility that provides the therapy may be in another state. This is when an air medical transport can help. Other times an air ambulance may be called upon to transport human donor organs. Having a fast method to deliver organs is vital for transplanting them to the patient in need and a fast air ambulance jet can provide the type of service needed. Regardless of the mission they're providing, medical planes are always equipped with special lifesaving medical equipment used to handle virtually any in-flight medical situation.

What makes an air ambulance special?

Air ambulance companies employ skilled, specially trained in-flight personnel. These include flight paramedics, flight nurses and sometime physicians. Medical flight crew members go through rigorous training and continued education. They have special certifications in various types of specialties relating to medical air transport. Some certifications that medical staff may be required to obtain are:

• Advanced Cardiac Life Support
• Pediatric Advanced Life Support
• Neonatal Resuscitation
• Basic Life Support
• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Safety is imperative when operating an air ambulance. The patient's life depends on being transported safely. Typically, medically configured business jets like the Learjet 60 are the preferred method of safe transport by air ambulance companies. The Learjet 60 has a large cabin that can accommodate medical crew, patient and family members comfortably. They are known for their fast speeds, long range and safety. They are large enough to accommodate a medical stretcher and life support equipment.

How are air medical transports arranged?

When you contact an air ambulance company, a representative will ask you a series of questions in order to help determine what is needed for the transport. They may ask for insurance information, all the vital information about the patient, location, medical facility, date transport and more. After all the information is gathered, it is up to the flight coordinators help get the transport approved by the patient's insurance company, to determine a suitable aircraft, flight crew, medical crew, equipment and medications needed and other details regarding the medical flight.

The Transport

Once all the details have been arranged, the medical transport can take place. The flight crew arrives at the airport and readies the aircraft. The medical crew prepares the interior of the aircraft and awaits the arrival of the patient via ground ambulance. Once the patient arrives, he is carefully loaded into the aircraft and hooked up to any IVs monitoring equipment, and secured for flight. The aircraft departs and the medical crew monitors the patient during the flight, administering any medications if needed and making sure the patient is comfortable. Once at the destination a ground ambulance meets the aircraft and transports the patient to the receiving medical facility.

Can Playing Video Games Help You Lose Weight?

Traditional video game playing has been associated with weight gain simply for the fact that it is predominantly a sedentary activity. Coupled with this is a multitude of technologies all designed to make life easier, thus necessitating less physical involvement in day-to-day activities. The result is a less physically active population that is being increasingly afflicted with excess weight and obesity, conditions that are contributing to the general degradation of the health of the North American population. With the advent of interactive video games, also called egames or exergames, the trend might have a chance to reverse itself.

In fact, exergames have been proposed as a viable alternative in some cases to traditional exercise. The real question, however, is if these kinds of activities actually measure up to what is considered the minimum level of physical activity necessary to have an impact on health parameters.

Health and wellness organizations like the American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine have established guidelines for physical activity that propose benefits associated with thirty minutes of physical activity, five times per week. This is with the goal of burning a minimum of one thousand calories per week.

Some exergames have been shown to meet the minimum established guidelines for effective moderate physical activity for health benefits, from children to older and elderly adults. Exergaming may also offset the loss of trunk muscle strength that is thought to manifest itself with the sedentary lifestyle that non-active screen time encourages.

In addition, while not always confirmed in the research, or possibly dependent on the mode of play, the caloric expenditure associated with those types of interactive games coupled with a restriction in caloric intake, in a cumulative fashion, might help in weight loss and maintenance, especially in children with less than active lifestyles. In fact, one thousand extra calories burned each week can be enough to encourage the loss of almost fifteen pounds in a year.

So, what makes the exergames option so attractive? Very simple: those types of light-to-moderate activities have a high level of pleasurable appeal associated with them, with band and game-themed aerobic games seemingly generating more enjoyment than exercise-themed aerobic games. People who play interactive games are so caught up in the challenge and the visually exciting aspects of the on-screen images that they forget that they are performing physical activity. The exercise is simply fun, which is a key characteristic. If the exergame activity is fun, it's less of a chore and more likely to be employed as a pastime or as part of a regular physical conditioning program.

Coupled with the pleasure factor is the wide variety of game options that one can take advantage of. As such, the boredom factor is much less of an issue to deal with.
Adding to the fun of exergames is the advent of motion-capture technology that places the user virtually into the action on the screen. This supplies another level of experience, thus keeping the user more engrossed in the game and less aware that a physical effort is being made.

While a sedentary lifestyle is not easy to overcome, and the energy expenditure might not be the same as performing real world sports or training in a fitness center, exergaming is increasingly becoming a viable component of a regular fitness and wellness program for multiple age groups.

In the end, it sure beats training only the thumbs.

Nutrition Tips to Live By

Although it has been a few months since people have made New Year's resolutions, (going on a diet being the most popular) as time goes by, it gets harder and harder to stay focused and easier to succumb to temptation. Try to focus on all the benefits that will come with staying on track instead of falling back to old and unhealthy habits. Remember what your health will be like in the long term, how much better you will feel, and also how energetic you will be. Here is a list of a few nutrition tips to live by.

1. Do not overdo it on the fruit - This first nutrition tip to live by is to not eat too many fruits. While fruit is good for you and you do need your daily servings (fruit is a great source of fiber), you do not want to eat too much of it. If you eat too much fruit, your carbohydrates and sugar in your body will reach high proportions and will aid in hindering you from your diet. Try pairing your fruits with a form of proteins such as nuts to help you eat just the right amount you need to stay healthy.

2. Feel Free to Gorge on Veggies - The beautiful thing about veggies is that you can eat a great volume of them while only taking in a few calories. This is another of many nutrition tips to live by. If you have a habit of over-snacking and munching, feel free to dig away at the veggies (just stay away from adding butter). This will help in keeping yourself full and from eating unhealthy foods that will only boost up your calories greatly. Another tip, stay away from using oils when cooking your veggies, try sticking to steamed vegetables for the best results.

3. Level Up your Protein - Do you feel like you could still eat more even though you just finished your main course? You probably should add some more protein to your meal. For example, when you order a salad, even if it is drenched in dressing, it will not feel you up and you will be taking in a lot more calories, try getting less dressing and add on some grilled chicken. This will aid greatly in filling you up and preventing you from raiding the pantry later on.

Take these nutrition tips to live by to heart, and add them as enhancers to the diet you are already on. I know you can do it, you just have to know you can do it!

Can OTC Treatments Combat Resistant Head Lice?

As the name suggests, head lice are parasites which can be commonly seen on the heads of individuals. An infestation with resistant lice is known as pediculosis. This infestation is pretty common. The fact is, it has been estimated that no less than one in each and every 10 children is afflicted with this infestation at some point. Reported by a survey, the annual expense of lice infestations in the USA is approximately $1 billion.

After some time, lice are getting to be immune to OTC treatments. In the same way the fact that the overuse of antibiotics has developed superbugs, the continuing utilization of lice treatments has caused head lice resistance. This article will discuss head lice, particularly lice resistant to OTC treatments.

Who Is At An Increased Risk

Head lice could affect anybody who comes in close contact with a person already infested with them. It might even spread from contaminated clothing or some other personal belongings. In simple words, it's simple to transmit the infestation from a single person completely to another. Usually, elementary and preschool children plus their families are infested often. Moreover, girls tend to be a greater risk than boys. Similarly, women contract more lice than men.

Cause of Head Lice

A child can contract lice in a variety of ways. A lot of these are mentioned below:

- Physical contact with an infested person. Close contact is rather common during school, play, competitive sports, slumber parties, camp and the like.

- Wearing infested clothing or using personal belongings of an infested person, including scarves, hats, sports uniforms, coats, hair ribbons etc.

- Using infested brushes, combs or towels.

- Lying on a couch, bed, carpet or pillow that is in contact someone infested with lice.

Resistant lice tend to be discovered on the scalp, behind the ears and close to the neckline. Sometimes, they are even be seen in the back of your neck. They use their hook-like claws to hold to hair. They're rarely seen on eyelashes, eyebrows as well as other sections of your body.

The signs of Lice Infestation

Some common symptoms of lice infestation include:

- Tickling sensation, like something is moving or crawling in the hair.
- Itching
- Sores around the scalp
- Infected sores around the scalp.
- Irritability

How are Head Lice Infestation Diagnosed

Infestation can be diagnosed by looking closely throughout the scalp and hair for nits, nymphs and adults. Adults and nymphs are rare, and move quickly. Thus, it is normally challenging to discover them. However, if nits are found all-around your scalp, you've been infested with lice. Moreover, whenever you can see nits greater than 1/4 inches from the scalp, your infestation is fairly old.

If you think maybe you are infested with lice, you need to begin using effective products to treats a resistant lice infestation. Since nits are visible using a microscope, a faculty nurse or medical professional could also help with a diagnosis.

Other Methods

Essentially the most effective techniques of lice removal is not just chemical free but is likewise not subject to lice resistance because it works mechanically instead of chemically. The ClearLice collection of products use 100 % natural ingredients like plant extracts, homeopathic ingredients, enzyme complexes and natural botanicals to imitate the molting procedure for lice. These components disintegrate the hard exoskeleton of the lice and weaken them to the exposure of ClearLice. The products aren't just specially formulated to stop head lice resistance but are also completely safe, natural and incredibly effective.

People who find themselves seeking to overcome lice resistance to medications will find that the resistance only worsens when the same OTC methods are used frequently. Instead of continuing to fight repeated infestations and bringing about the issue of head lice resistance, try another route with ClearLice.
