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!

4 Great Home Remedies For Blackheads

Blackheads on facial skin are a very common problem during teenage years. They are caused when dirt and dead cells get accumulated in the pores of the skin and they have an unattractive black appearance. One reason for their occurrence is hormonal changes in the body.

- An oatmeal face pack made of powdered oatmeal, natural yogurt and honey can also be used.

- Milk mixed with fresh lemon juice can also be applied to the face to get rid of dirt in your pores. Milk contains lactic acid which is very effective at breaking down the impurities in your skin. The citric acid present in lemon juice is also very useful.

3 Practices for Developing the Health and Performance of Your Psychic Anatomy and Psychical Body

Like Qi-gong, Kundalini Yoga and Tantra Yoga, these practices (Psychic Anatomy Exercises, Psychic Anatomy Yoga and Psychic Anatomy Treatments) work with psychic energies (aka. energy, chi, qi, ki, prana, spirit, emotional and mental energies, energies of your psyche/consciousness) to enhance the health and performance of your Mind-Body-Spirit. A major difference is in how they attract and focus psychic energies upon specific and general parts of your psychic anatomy (aka. energy anatomy, invisible anatomy; ex. aura, chakras, wheels of light, auric bodies, koshas, lightbodies, meridians, nadis, hara) and physical body using comprehensive and systemic routines. There are no other practices like them, and very few that even come close when it comes to being comprehensive, systematic and supported by the traditional and scientific literature; they are supported by over 2000 traditional and scientific references.

Your psychic anatomy is the interface between your physical body and psychic energies. As its health and performance improves, your abilities to use it for becoming aware of and controlling psychic energies improves as well. Whether it is the psychic energy practice of Qi-Gong, Yoga, an Energy Healing-Empowerment modality (ex. Reiki, Hands on Healing, Quantum Touch) or Psychic Anatomy Exercises/Yoga/Treatments, enhancing the health and performance of your psychic anatomy will make you more effective at them, gaining their benefits faster (discussed below), because it gives you the skills that are utilized within them (ex. awareness and control of psychic energies).

If obtaining these benefits are considered a sport, Psychic Anatomy Exercises, Psychic Anatomy Yoga and Psychic Anatomy Treatments can be considered athletic training for them, as well as the sport!

In general, the spiritual benefits are enhanced the most, because they come from your psychic anatomy. Some specific examples are the improved ability to attract healthy and release unhealthy psychic energies from yourself, environments and other people (control of psychic energies). Another example is the development of Extrasensory Perception/Sixth Sense (awareness of psychic energies), which has many features to it, such as Intuition, Clairvoyance, Remote Viewing and Precognition. These are both very big benefits for living to your fullest potential!

Another very important benefit is empowering the connection to your soul/Higher-Self and God/Highest-Self (aka. Brahman, Allah, Creator, Source, The Essence of Self and All Creation). Your psychic anatomy is the bridge to your soul and soul plane/dimension. Your soul is still connected to the soul plane when it incarnates, where it is better connected to God. By enhancing the health and performance of your psychic anatomy, you can more easily receive guidance and blessings (healing and empowerment) from your soul, the soul dimension and God. FYI: Guidance and blessings come to you as psychic energies.

Developing the health and performance of your psychic anatomy can radically accelerate your progress towards spiritual enlightenment in other ways as well. As it becomes healthier and better performing, it can absorb more psychic energies of a higher quality and integrate with them more easily/quickly, allowing more of your soul to incarnate/awaken into you as a human being. This is the process of enlightenment. The Psychic Anatomy/Yoga/Treatments also teach techniques that facilitate this directly, such as Ascending/Descending, Cycling and Turning Inwards. They make a big difference!

Very important parts of this are the changes that occur to the structure of your entire being. Your psychic anatomy and physical body are antenna-resonators for psychic energies and you as a soul. As you evolve/enlighten to higher qualities and quantities of psychic energies, and more of your soul incarnates/awakens, the crystalline structure of your entire being is refined/change. Ascending/Descending, Cycling and Turning Inwards help focus psychic energies in systematic ways upon significant parts of your psychic anatomy and physical body to facilitate these refinements/changes.

With an improving connection to your soul, soul plane and God, the guidance and blessings that comes from them will continually improve as well. Eventually you will get to the point where you have a knowingness (guidance) about everything, which will save you a lot of time, money and effort, as well as make you more effective at living your meanings in life well. From what and when to eat, to big decisions, such as how to educate yourself, your spiritual guidance (Intuition) is far superior to what you can achieve with human logic.

As the blessings of healing and empowerment become more powerful, the health and performance of your entire being will continually improve. This will make it easier for you to help other people enhance the health and performance of their entire being by focusing healing and empowering psychic energies upon them. This is known as Energy Healing-Empowerment (ex. Reiki, Healing Touch, Prayer). Only the Psychic Anatomy Treatments teaches comprehensively the fundamental techniques and concepts of all modalities, as well as psychic anatomy.

These spiritual benefits are big ones, but they are by no means the only benefits you can expect from these practices. Mental benefits include improved focus, clarity, stamina and being biased towards positive thoughts. Of particular interest is being able to support the development of your prefrontal cortex, which is the most important part of your brain for making good decisions, focus/will-power, emotional management and intuition (see the Brain Enhancement Exercise Meditation {BEEM} as taught in the Inner and Outer Success Self-Help Program for details). Emotional benefits include calmness, clarity, stability and being biased towards positive emotions.

Both mental and emotional benefits are primarily the result of improved psychic anatomy health and performance, because mental and emotional psychic energies are very much a part of your psychic anatomy. These practices do need some help with more difficult mental and emotional challenges at times (all psychic energy practices do), such as past traumas and long term unhealthy influences (ex. being pessimistic or in the presence of it). I recognized this a long time ago, which caused me to focus on the subjects of Self-Help. I developed the Inner and Outer Success Self-Help Program to provide you with every advantage for rising above the unhealthy influences of your past and empowering positive influences for your future.

Benefits to your physical body are general to improved cell function and biochemistry, because your psychic anatomy interfaces with your physical body electromagnetically on a molecular/atomic/quantum level. As the health and performance of your psychic anatomy improves, its electromagnetic influence upon your physical body becomes more coherent and powerful, facilitating physical health and performance. Common scientific observations are improved healing, immunity, strength, endurance, balance, digestion and more.

Physical benefits are in general slower to achieve, because the physical body is a very dense form of energy, hence changing it with less dense energy (psychic energies) takes time. Some physical benefits can be experienced more quickly though, especially in healing situations, because the part that needs healing is usually out of balance with you as a whole, hindering your whole from reaching greater states of health and performance, making it a high unconscious priority.

As well, when first being exposed to these practices, it is common for healings and empowerment to occur more quickly. The reason for this is that several issues might only need a small amount of help to breach the barrier towards better health and performance. A lot of benefits can occur quickly in group practices as well. This is more common with groups who are experienced, because they cultivate a higher quality and abundance of psychic energies, which the beginners can draw upon, as well as the presence of their psychic anatomy's health and performance, which beginners will unconsciously reference/resonant with.

When it comes to healing from long term illnesses, both physical emotional and mental, it could take months of a healthier diet, increased rest, appropriate physical exercise, self-help techniques, therapies, Psychic Anatomy Exercises/Yoga/Treatments for a complete recovery to occur. It took a long time to get unhealthy, maybe generations, so it might take a while to get healthy a gain. With this being said, trauma can cause a lot of damage in a short amount of time as well.

You are connected physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This is the Mind-Body-Spirit connection (Psychosomatics), which is scientifically observable. As the health and performance of your psychic anatomy improves, unhealthy psychic energies are detoxified, which causes unhealthy thoughts and emotions to be detoxified as well, which Self-Help techniques can facilitate. As well, physical toxins can be detoxified, which physical techniques can facilitate.

From the insights of becoming more aware of psychic energies to the potential of controlling them to heal and empower yourself and others holistically (Mind-Body-Spirit), enhancing the health and performance of your psychic anatomy is an important part of living your meanings in life to your fullest potential. If you are not sure what your meanings in life are, these benefits will help you learn them as well, especially with the help of the other techniques within the Inner and Outer Success Self-Help Program.

I recommended starting with my book Inner and Outer Success for an introduction to these practices, as well as other techniques that greatly compliment them.

Natural Home Remedies For Sensational Spring Hair

What a crazy winter we had in the United Kingdom. Once again we had the wettest winter since records began 250 years ago. In fact we topped the records at 517mm of rainfall in the winter of 2014, beating the previous record that was held in 1995 of 485mm. It just seems like the winters get colder and wetter year after year. So it's great news that finally spring has officially started in the UK and from some meteorological predictions, we might be in for an unseasonably warm summer this year. Scientists in Germany are predicting that Britain could be in for a sizzling summer. Academics at Justus Liebig University in Giessen said we could benefit from an unusual weather pattern, which happens when waters on the Pacific equator become unusually warm.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for a great summer, but for right now, spring has finally arrived and here are our top healthy tips and home remedies you can try to keep hair healthy and gorgeous this spring.

Trim Those Ends

During the dreary cold, wet and dark months of winter our hair hasn't been very well loved. It's probably been sitting under a hat or has been wrapped up in a scarf, or just generally has been hidden away. The cold harsh winds have sucked the life out of hair and especially at the ends hair can tend to become split and extremely coarse. Now is the time to book an appointment with your favourite hair dresser and let them work their magic to trim off those dry and damaged ends. Not only will this give hair a fresh look and feel, but it will also give you the additional benefit of having a new mind-set coming into spring.

Hair Mask

We all know that we can put mud masks and hydrating masks on our face, but many of us don't know that we can realise the same benefits by putting a mask on our hair. Hair coming out of winter can be badly damaged and stripped of natural oils from the extended amount of time that we spend in dry artificially heated homes and offices. Now that spring has arrived and we will be showing our hair to the world a lot more, let's put some of that important moisture back in. A hair mask can be purchased from any beauty shop, but making a natural one from ingredients found around the home is not only economically sound but actually is much better for us because we can tailor the hair mask to our own specific needs. An all round recipe for a great hair mask is to apply an avocado mask to hair. As a natural beauty product, avocado oil can not be beat. The oils in avocados actually resemble the natural oils in our hair and skin more than oils that are added to pharmaceutical bought beauty products. Just grab a few avocados and mash them up until they are an easily spreadable paste. Apply to damp clean hair and leave in for 15 minutes, rinse with tepid water and this will leave hair feeling silky smooth.

Protein Treatments

Sometimes we watch movie stars on the red carpet and think to ourselves, "Wow, this person's hair is so full of body and textured. How do they do it?". The secret to having hair that is full of body is protein. Protein treatments for hair are all the rage this spring and there are a lot of products on the shelf out there that make lots of claims, but the most natural protein hair treatments can be found in your pantry right now. Egg yolks are full of protein and natural oils and fats (such as Omega-3 fatty acids), when used as a hair treatment these natural qualities of egg yolks impart themselves to our hair. Take the yolk of two eggs (beaten) and apply to clean, damp hair. Leave it in the hair for 20 mins then rinse with cold water (make sure it's cold water and not hot, or else you will have scrambled eggs in your hair!) then wash hair. The high amount of protein and natural fats in the egg yolk will help to enrich hair with moisture and body that the cold winter has stripped away.

Remove Chlorine From Shower Water

No matter how many masks, treatments or conditioners we put into our hair there is one vital aspect of our hair care routine that if we do not address, will make all of our efforts go to naught. Every day when we shower we are exposing our hair to a Chlorine laden water supply. Chlorine is an extremely corrosive disinfectant that is used in many industries as a solvent. Upon contact with any types of oils (whether that's the natural oils that our body produces, or the oils that we put into our hair treatments) it will strip away that oil immediately. We need to be extremely careful to ensure that in our showers we remove Chlorine before it touches our hair, to do this we can install a simple shower filter or a shower head that has a filter inside it. By removing this Chlorine our hair will continue to produce natural oils that will keep hair healthy and vibrant and if we top that up with the natural treatments above, we can be sure that during this spring our hair will look better than it has ever looked before.

UV Protecting Shampoo

Our final tip for this spring is to use a good quality UV protecting shampoo. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we get a lot of sunshine this spring. Even though we love how the warming rays of the sun feels and how it lifts our mood, the sun shine also comes with a nasty surprise. In the form of harmful Ultra Violet rays which can damage and prematurely age hair. Finding a good quality UV protecting shampoo from our local beauty store is definitely a must have to protect hair from the damaging and ageing effect of the sun's UV light. Though as an added benefit of using the above natural treatments, by keeping the natural oils in hair that are produced by our scalp, these oils have a naturally inherent ability to protect from UV light as well. Isn't mother nature grand?

We hope you've enjoyed these little natural tips on how to keep hair healthy and vibrant this spring and please remember that in terms of health, you get out what you put in. So try to cut down on chemicals and additives in our lives and try to live more naturally.

If you are looking for a great shower filter which will remove chlorine and other harmful contaminants to keep your hair look it's best this spring then we highly recommend that you visit PureShowers.co.uk - the UK's #1 Shower Filter store.

6 Ways to Get Rid of Under Eye Bags

Are you sick and tired of under eye bags?

Trust me, you are not the only one who wants to get rid of them.You can easily spot people, both women and men, with under eye bags.

Here are some simple and easy ways to get rid of puffy eyes:

1. Try to Treat Your Allergies

Skin under your eyes is lighter than from rest of your body. This is why fluid tends to collect there when there is any kind of allergy. This can make your eyes puffy.

Get some anti allergic medication from your doctor or the local pharmacy to help you get rid of any allergy. This can help you reduce under eye bags significantly.

2. Get Rid of Make Up at Night

It is a big blunder to sleep without removing makeup at night. This can irritate your eyes and lead to allergic reactions resulting in puffy eyes. Thus, make it a point to remove all your make up before you go to bed.

3. Try Some Cucumbers

Cucumbers are a great remedy to reduce puffiness under the eyes. I am sure you must have seen this in many health and beauty magazines. Take 2 slices of freshly refrigerated cucumbers and place them on eyes. Just lie down for about an half an hour with these slices on your eyes. This simple remedy can help reduce puffiness under the eyes quite significantly.

4. Try Some Green Tea Bags

Green is not just great for your skin but can also help reduce puffiness from under the eyes. Just take 2 bags of green tea and soak them in chilled water. Put them on your eyes for about 20 minutes.

This simple trick can help you get rid of puffy eyes very quickly.

5. Drink Plenty of Water

Though water retention is the main cause of puffy eyes, drinking plenty of water turns out to be highly effective in reducing under eye bags. Make sure that you consume at least 7-8 full glasses of water through the day.

6. Exercise

A small vibrator can help tighten the skin beneath your eyes and also increase blood circulation. This can help reduce under eye bags without using any kind of creams or a surgical procedure.

Such a product can strengthen muscles under your eyes and tighten skin to help you get rid of under eye bags quickly, effectively and at a fraction of the cost as compared to other creams and surgery.

Do you want to get rid of puffy eyes?

How I Lost 20 Pounds in 3 Months - Twice!

Almost as long as I've been alive, the topic of weight loss and staying healthy has been one of the hottest subjects of conversation in our society. Many methods have been attempted and used by people who are not happy with their weight and how they look. Some of these methods have worked for people, some haven't.

I would like to share with you my experience. I am not a person who has constantly struggled with my weight. However, I would like to take you back about 15 years ago. I was in my mid-30s. I had always been able to eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Now, for the first time in my life this was catching up to me and it affected my weight. My weight was also affected because this was a busy time in my life. I had two young children, and I was progressing at a job, which took up much of my time. As a result, I did not spend much time, if any, exercising.

It was when I started to do some research on what weight I should be that the alarm bells went off. The chart said I was in the overweight category. I wasn't drastically overweight. It was just a few pounds according to the chart. However, I was still in shock. After being almost too thin at times in my life I never dreamed I would ever be considered overweight. Regardless, I was at a point where I didn't look right, and I didn't feel right. It was time to take action.

It didn't take me long to figure out what to do. Every year, my father spent the 40 day period of Lent on a calorie limit. He kept his calories on a low limit and stuck to it. He was never one who drastically needed to lose weight, but he always did during this time. I determined that this would be my plan of action. Since my normal calorie intake should be around 2000, I lowered my limit to 1500. Did it work? Within 3 months, I had lost 20 pounds and was once again at my ideal weight. I felt great again. I did this for me, but other people noticed as well, and commented on how fit I looked.

Fast forward to a year ago. For the most part, I have been good at staying in shape and maintaining my desired weight. However, I again reached a point where it had gone beyond control and I was again in the overweight category. I went back to what I did years ago and enjoyed the same result.

In my life I have had two significant experiences where I felt the need to lose weight and lose it as quickly as possible in a healthy manner. I was successful both times. By no means do I claim to be a weight loss expert or know it all. I share these two easy steps for anyone who may be going through a similar struggle and share the same desire to experience victory in this area. Here are two ways that have worked for me and I believe can help anyone lose weight quickly and successfully:

• It's all about calories - In my opinion, it's as simple a formula as anyone can think of. In essence, it's the less you eat, the less you'll gain. Unlike other kinds of diets, a calorie diet has no major health risks. Other diets take away carbs, fats, and other necessary ingredients. You're still getting everything here. What I like best about this is you can still eat whatever you want! You're just eating less of it. You also don't have to give up things like social events. For example, if you are having a big family dinner at night, you can still partake completely. You may just have to sacrifice and eat less at other times of the day. The key is to set a calorie limit and stick to it. It is much simpler to do this now with computer programs and apps. I used an app called My Fitness Pal when I did this last year. This will help you set a daily calorie limit based on the amount of weight you want to lose and the time frame you chose. It even tracks your calories for you, and even factors in any exercise you do. It helped me lose 10 pounds in the first month, and then the rest came off gradually.
• It's all about mindset - Especially for this time around, I have learned how powerful the mind can be. Half or more of the weight loss battle can be won (or lost) in the mind. The key is proper focus. When many people think of losing weight, that's what they focus on. They see themselves as unfit, too many pounds, and focus on the weight. The key instead is to focus on the end result. Visualize yourself at the weight you want to be. Choose an exact number and continually see that number in your mind instead of the one you are at now. Start doing some of the things you would do if you were more fit. Start choosing and preparing clothes at a lower size. Thank God now for His help in getting you to the goal. These are just a few suggestions. The bottom line is that when you focus on the end result and successful accomplishment of the goal, you will get there sooner.

Once again, I will not claim to be an expert in the field of weight loss.

How to Lose Weight - The Most Important Thing You'll Ever Read

You have a perfect driving record. Been driving for years, and not even a minor fender bender.

One day you're not really paying attention, the car ahead of you stops short. SMASH!

Perfect driving record down the crapper... you say screw it. Pedal to the metal and charge into oncoming traffic

"I'm gonna steam-roll anything that gets in my way!"

Ridiculous right? No sane person would ever react this way. What is so different about dieting? Even the most rational people in the world take this approach to dieting.

"I've been so good for a month now, but I had that piece of cake at the birthday party today. The diet is shot. May as well grab two pizzas, a tub of ice cream, and three bags of Doritos on the way home."

What gives?

Redefining Diet

This is it. The gem you came here to find. How to lose weight forever. It's all about changing the way you think about diet.

A diet is not a diet. From now on this word "diet" does not mean a temporary plan followed for six weeks to lose fat.

It means what you eat day in day out, for the remainder of your natural life.

Diet means meat, eggs, fish, vegetables, berries, nuts, and fruit and carbs depending on your goals. Your diet can be adjusted to help you lose weight, gain muscle, or just stay as you are now. But it is based on eating real food, and it is what you are going to eat every single day, until the day you die. Barring any unforeseen Hollywood endings, this is going to be a long time. It seems pretty likely that at some point before you die, you are going to make a "mistake" or two. But, here's an idea, instead of calling it a mistake, why not call it what it really is? A treat.

Treat

An event or item that is out of the ordinary and gives great pleasure

Out of the ordinary. Not a daily occurrence. Gives great pleasure. Pretty damn tasty.

Have the pizza, the cake, the ice cream. It's a treat, and life should be full of treats of all different kinds. A nice dinner, travelling to another country, a long weekend camping trip, a night at the movies, a slice of cheesecake. Enjoy the treat, then go back to eating real food. There will be another treat soon.

If weight loss is your goal, scheduled cheat meals are an invaluable tool. But, instead of calling them cheat meals, let's say treat meals. There is no cheating involved here, this is all about enjoying something out of the ordinary. Pick a couple meals each week, and treat yourself. Notice the word is meal, not day. Going nuts and gorging for twenty-four hours is the behavior you are trying to avoid. Instead, go out for dinner with friends and eat something you would not normally have in your diet. Have a cheeseburger and fries. Not three cheeseburgers with extra cheese and bacon, fries with gravy, and a side of onion rings, just a regular treat meal.

Make a point not to skip these treat meals. Knowing that you can have a treat every now and then makes sticking to your regular diet of real food much easier. It's tempting to skip them, thinking that you will lose fat faster without them. The problem is that cravings can build up and that is when you find yourself careening down the wrong side of the road with a family sized bucket of KFC in the passenger's seat.

If you really want to be strong and lean for the rest of your life, make the choice to only eat real food, with the odd treat thrown in here and there. Look at the people in your life that have the physique you wish you had. I'm willing to bet that this is the way they eat. Most of the time they eat a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, but once or twice a week they have something out of the ordinary. They don't get down on themselves after eating it, they enjoy it for what it is... a treat.

You can do this too. Get the idea of dieting out of your head, and replace it with healthy eating as a lifestyle choice. Then throw in a treat here and there to enjoy life, and stay sane.

What are your favorite treat meals? When you are trying to lose weight, how long can you comfortably go before the cravings kick in?

We would love to hear from you at http://www.straightupstrength.com. You will find other useful tips on weight loss and muscle building, as well as lots of information on living a fit, healthy life. Hope to hear from you soon!

Obese People Are ''Stupid''

I find it extremely sad when a member of the House of Lords publicly states that people who are obese have no one to blame but themselves, and then calls those who are obese "stupid". This sentence caused the peers to cheer loudly. After these comments, Health Minister Earl Howe appeared to agree with him.

It is clear that Lord Tebbit, and many peers, display little love or compassion for people struggling with weight problems. It should be noted that he, and many other Tory peers, are the very people who allowed fast food chains to open on numerous street corners, forcing the closure of existing café's (which had existed for fifty to one hundred years).

When Lord Tebbit was a member of the Government, it was known (in the Department of Health) that fast food was very cheap and unhealthy, and contributed to obesity. Was this information made available to the public? No.

It should also be noted that the Government failed to address the problem of unhealthy school dinners, which contained little nutritional value and did not contribute to the health of school children. School meals were found to be very fattening and contribute to weight gain (due to the high amount of fat, salt and sugar used). Besides this, the same Government sold school football pitches and running tracks, which reduced or eliminated physical activity for many school children.

These days, very little Physical Education is encouraged in schools. With the rise of mobile devices, and instant sources of entertainment (computers, social media, smartphones and video games), a huge number of children lead a very sedentary lifestyle.

The factors listed above have contributed to the rise in obesity levels, but Lord Tebbit ignored all of them and instead blamed obese people.

So, where should the actual blame lie (for the obesity epidemic)?

I would start with the Government. I also blame the Education Boards, school curriculums and schools themselves. Parents of obese children must also shoulder some blame, as they are failing their children with a lack of education and guidance.

Politicians make speeches about the importance of education but they never follow through when they are elected. We all advocate a fit and healthy lifestyle for children, so they should be educated about the dangers of sugar and fat. They need to know what is harmful to their health. There should be more sport available for young children, and they should be encouraged to exercise (such as walking, running, swimming, football, tennis, rugby and so on).

The Government should take charge of this health crisis by issuing health warnings about the fast food chains, instead of bending to their wishes. They have become so powerful that they now influence Government decisions. The government should provide guidance to schools, hospitals, social workers and parents about obesity and the dangers.

Parents also need to lead by example. It is more difficult for obese parents to help their children to stay healthy, as children copy and follow the eating habits of parents. It is time that parents placed limits on the time children watch TV, play on the computer, use iPads and iPhones. They need to encourage their children to play sports and to use the recreational facilities available to them.

Now is the time for a change, before obesity costs the country billions of pounds, and bankrupts the NHS. Obesity is a global problem and one that is not going to go away. The authorities need to face the facts and issue guidelines to help people deal with obesity. Obese individuals need help to increase their health and fitness habits, but certainly don't need the insulting remarks made by Norman Tebbit.

Overcoming obesity takes time, but it can be done when people change their eating regime and lead a healthier lifestyle.

Oliver Brendan Greene was diagnosed with obesity about eight years ago after fighting a weight issue for more than fifteen years.His weight issues began when he became a little overweight, but thought it was nothing too serious. He later became fat and this deteriorated into clinical obesity a few years later. After a very serious illness and near loss of his life in 2008, Greene became determined to lose the weight. At this time, he faced the facts of his laziness and unhealthy lifestyle and made a decision to change.

His website, the-menace-of-obesity.com tells his story of gaining and losing weight. It conveys the ideas and measures that were needed to overcome the menace of being fat, obese or overweight. His mental attitude and zest for life will inspire anyone in their own fight against the menace of obesity.

The Safest Way to Lose Weight Fast That Guarantees No Rebounds

It is no secret that obesity is a global epidemic. When statistics indicate that close to a third of the globe is struggling with weight issues, it is a wake-up call. Our ancestors never struggled with it. Then again, theirs wasn't a time of abundance, or processed foods.

The weight loss industry has blossomed. It is fueled by the insatiable desire people have to attain much healthier weights. Experts have arisen, claiming to have uncovered magical solutions that offer quick solutions. Most of the products advertised yield no real fruit, leading to a frustrated lot of people who just want to feel and look better.

Long Term Solution

The problem is that many weight loss methods offer no long term solutions. They may offer some trivial changes in scale readings, but these are only temporary.

Science has maintained that the path that leads to weight loss is paved by exercise and diet. But if it was so simple, then there would be no epidemic to speak of.

There are other easier, more manageable ways to lose weight. One of these ways is taking the green bean coffee extract.

Natural Solution

The slimming effects of green bean coffee extract came to light back in 2012 when it was first recognized as the fat burner with surprisingly pleasant results.

The Basis

Green coffee beans are available in nature. They are like regular coffee beans, but they are not roasted. This preserves the Chlorogenic Acid (CGA) which is the active ingredient. It is a compound that affects metabolism and how the body handles sugar. It lowers insulin response, preventing glucose absorption. This compels the body to increase its supply, which it does by breaking down stored fat to provide glucose in a process called gluconeogenesis.

Green Coffee bean extract is available in pill form for convenience. Once taken, it enables the aforementioned effects. A study showed how participants who took it were able to lose more weight than those on a placebo.

Is exercise necessary?

With green coffee bean extract, exercise is not advertised as necessary. Knowing what we know however, we would recommend it. The effects of the extract and those of exercise can compound to make the weight loss process more effective. It is this synergistic effect that speeds up the weight loss.

If you adopt healthier eating habits as you lose weight, there will be no rebounds. Lasting weight loss can only be had if you resolve to lead an improved lifestyle as the extract cannot be taken eternally for obvious reasons.

If you want to lose upto 17.5lbs in less then 22 weeks without exercise or diet visit green coffee beans max website and start losing weight immediately visit http://www.greencoffebeansmax.com/

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.

Everyone is different and just washing your skin alone may not be enough to keep your skin clean. Various methods can be used for cleaning your skin.

Using a body scrub can be a great addition to your own routine. Both men and women can use this method. Generally, a body scrub is used while taking a bath or shower as the water will activate the effects of the scrub. You can use a scrub after washing your skin, but is not necessary to do both. Some may have ingredients specifically designed to cleanse and exfoliate your skin. This is very beneficial as you are removing dead skin cells in addition to cleaning your skin.

There are many different types you can use for different purposes. Many products are also available to choose from. When choosing a body scrub, think about the sensitivity of your skin. You may need to find a gentle scrub if your skin is sensitive. Also, some scrubs may be too rough for the face and neck. Ensure the product you use can be used on the face. Products usually specify to avoid these areas of your skin if necessary. Some bar soaps are made with similar ingredients to give the same scrubbing effect on your skin. Some experimenting may be necessary to find what works for your skin.

You may experience some relaxation with your body scrub as some ingredients can leave you feeling refreshed. These ingredients can be various things such as dead sea salt, sugar, and even coffee!

Many recipes are available online to make your own customized version. Be creative and think about what your skin likes.

It is typical to use a body scrub 1-3 times a week. Scrubbing too often may cause irritation. Check the directions on the product you are using to ensure you are using it correctly. You may experience some dry skin after using your scrub. It would be a best practice to moisturize your skin after you scrub.

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.

Why Are There Lines In My Forehead?

Do you say this to yourself when you look in the mirror "I see lines in my forehead." "Why?"

Why does skin that was once smooth, soft and supple start showing lines especially lines in my forehead?

The easy answer is you are getting older, but that is only partly the reason. Aging doesn't fully explain what's happening.

The cause of lines and wrinkles -- is a loss of collagen and elastin. These two elements are what make skin, soft, supple and flexible and have done so -- since you were a baby with baby perfect skin.

As we age our body's production of collagen and elastin lessens. This means skin just isn't as resilient as it once was and telltale signs -- lines and wrinkles start showing up.

Other factors add to the problem. Not bothering to use sunscreen/sunblock can make matters worse. Dermatologists call this 'sun screen neglect' and it certainly contributes to the problem. Because the UVB & UVA rays cause skin damage.

Besides using appropriate amounts of sun block on a regular basis is there anything else that can be done?

Yes!! The key is getting your body to produce greater levels of collagen and elastin.

OK that makes sense, but how can you do that? Are there - skin care products that will increase the amount of elastin and collagen your body can produce?

You bet there are! But for skin care products to help your body increase production of elastin and collagen!!! Those products - need to be of high quality and designed to do the job.

A number of skin care products available do not aid in increasing production of these two important elements. You must be careful in the products you choose. Some unscrupulous skin care manufacturers offer products which do in fact contain collagen. The Collagen is added right to the cream, lotion, suave or ointment.

Be aware this does NOT work. Added collagen can not be absorbed by your body. The molecules are too large to pass through human skin.

Trying to increase your collagen by absorbing it through your skin -- is a fool's errand, Any company that promotes this -- should be avoided.

What you want are products that will enhance your body's ability to manufacture its own collagen and elastin.

OK now here is the million dollar question. Are there--skin care products that can stimulate your body to make more of these two elements?

Damn right!!!!

A terrific little company has chosen not to advertise its products in the traditional way, nor do they sell those products in stores, but rely completely on word of mouth, referral marketing, and only sell those products through the internet.

How sure are they of their products? Well they are the only company I am familiar with that offers customers a full - 365 day money back guarantee.

So click on this link to learn more about ==> awesome skin care products that not only did you NOT know existed, but you didn't even know could exist.
