A Healthy Liver

Filed under: Health, Info Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 7:37 am

Our liver is a very important organ in our body because it regulates, synthesizes, stores, secretes, transforms and breaks down different kinds of substances in our body. A poor liver will not be able to do its normal functions and make the body weak.  We should take care of our liver and other organs if we would like o maintain good health and long life. Through liver cleanse we can help protect our liver.

Weight Loss Options

Filed under: Health, Info Corner — Tags: , — rachel @ 7:25 am

Lately I’ve been getting remarks that I’ve gained weight. It’s true but honestly I don’t appreciate hearing it, especially from people I’m not close to. It bothers me but I’m not really the type to tell a person that his or her remark has upset me. I keep it to myself.

There are several ways of losing weight. One is through proper exercise and good diet. I guess that when I stopped going to the gym during summer vacation, it had an effect on my metabolism. Taking diet pills is another option. However, I suggest carefully reading diet pill reviews before taking any.

In Need of Reading Glasses

Filed under: Health, Info Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 3:09 pm

Last week we accompanied my mother-in-law to the eye doctor.  She has been experiencing some headaches when she wears her reading glasses. She had a feeling that her reading glasses need to be upgraded. True enough the optometrist recommended that my mother-in-law upgrade the lens of her eyeglasses.  She decided to get a whole new frame and keep the old one.  She plans to change the lens of her old reading glasses so she can have a spare.

My mother-in-law is going to the States this Friday for a vacation that’s why she was in a hurry to have an eye check-up.  Good thing she went through her check-up despite her busy schedule.  Otherwise, she might have experienced continued headaches during her vacation.  That would have somehow ruined her trip. Glad everything is well before she leaves for the States.

I occasionally experience headaches.  The pain is usually centered on the area between my eyes. There’s a chance that it might have something to do with my eye sight.  I had an eye exam several years ago and I was recommended to get reading glasses. I neglected getting one and I realized I better make time to do something about it now.

Put Health On Top Of Your List

Filed under: Health, Info Corner, Uncategorized — Tags: , — rachel @ 9:52 pm

A person’s health depends on one’s lifestyle. Health is a reflection of how we take care of our bodies and how we live our lives. Some people take health for granted by keeping an unhealthy lifestyle. Too much smoking and drinking can have great consequences to the body. Eating unhealthy foods like junk food, oily and with high cholesterol content can lead to health issues.

We should prioritize our health. They say “health is wealth,” and I agree. A person may be financially rich and powerful but there are times when no amount of money or power can bring back a person’s good health. We should try our best to maintain good health through healthy eating, regular exercise and keeping a good lifestyle. It is also vital to take proper nutritional supplements. Sometimes the food we eat don’t contain enough nutritional benefits that we need each day.  Taking vitamins and other nutritional supplements can greatly benefit the body.  It can improve stamina and immune system.

Make the most of your life by taking a positive role in taking care of your health.  Don’t make the mistake of taking health for granted.  It’s about time that you put health on top of your list of priorities.

Safety Tip :: Summer Safety

Filed under: Health, Safety Reminders — rachel @ 10:17 pm

Today is my son’s last day in school and tomorrow is the start of summer break.  Summer is a fun and exciting time for the whole family.  Many of us take this opportunity to spend a lot of time outdoors. Common summer activities are hiking, swimming, biking, going on picnics, and other fun outdoor activities.

Here are some safety reminders for children this summer.

1.  Now that summer has arrived, expect hot climate.  Avoid sunstroke by watching out for symptoms such as thirst, cramps, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and fever. Let your children drink lots of fluids especially when they are actively playing.

 2.  Apply sunscreen on your child (make sure you read label to determine if it is safe for children’ use) when activities involve long sun exposure. Avoid sunburn by using appropriate sunblock.

3.  Supervise your children when they are swimming in the pool or at the beach. Provide your children who do not know how to swim yet with safety floating devices such as life vest, arm “floaties”, inflatable lifesavers and more.

 4.  When children are out biking or skateboarding, make sure you provide them with protective gear like helmet and protective pads.

Keys To Living Well #1 - Exercise

Filed under: Health, Living Well — Tags: , — rachel @ 9:08 am

One of the keys to living well is exercise. Ever since I enrolled at the gym, I have felt a boost in my energy. I don’t get tired as easily as I used to. Aside from an increase in my stamina, I also realized that I developed strong immune system. Before, I used to get sick easily. I remember that when I got exposed to gentle drops of rain, it often resulted to colds and cough. Now, despite the sudden changes of weather, I’ve remained healthy. A good, daily exercise regime is great in keeping the body fit and healthy.

Problem Related to Bed Bugs

Filed under: Health, Home, Info Corner — Tags: , , — rachel @ 3:19 pm

Bed bugs are becoming a health concern in many homes. They are small wingless nocturnal insects that feed on the blood of humans and warm-blooded animals. When bed bugs feed, they inject some saliva in the skin causing skin allergies.

People who suspect the presence of bed bugs in their homes often try to get rid of them by leaving infected things outside, exposing them to extreme temperatures. A common thing that people do to kill bed bugs is by putting infected things under the sun while others leave stuff it in the snow.

Some people believe that the problem can be solved by freezing bed bugs to death. Bed bugs often die when exposed to extreme temperatures but in order to effectively kill all bed bugs, you have to leave your things exposed to the either above 120 degrees Fahrenheit or below zero for at least a week or two. When the cold temperature is not enough, some bed bugs might survive and continue to increase number. Protect your home from these invading insects by finding out more about them.
