QUIT SMOKING 

FOR GOOD 

by 

Tess Kimble 

Follow Us: 

The benefits 

o u t w e i g h 

anything else 

when you decide 

to quit smoking. 

Remember those advantages 

as you apply helpful tips 

like these. Use these tips 

whenever you need to 

until you finally succeed in 

quitting for good. 

1 

It is not an easy feat to quit smoking. These 9 tips will help you plan your 

program so you can kick the smoking habit for good. 

LIST DOWN THE 

PROS AND CONS 

To increase your chances 

of being successful in your 

efforts to quit smoking, 

consider writing out a list of 

pros and cons of quitting. 

When you go through 

the tactile experience 

and physical actions of 

writing, your psychological 

perspective is often shifted 

in the process. It will help you 

stay motivated and focused 

on success, possibly making 

quitting a little easier. 

Issue 9 • October 2017

Instead of viewing quitting as a sacrifice, 

think of it as a gift to yourself. You will 

be able to quit smoking sooner and 

remain smoke-free if you think positively 

about quitting. Think of how it will 

change your life, and that the benefits 

of smoking are so important compared 

to the few detriments. You will find your 

motivations and have every reason to 

quit immediately. 

2 

TRY THE DELAY TACTIC 

If you need to smoke, try delaying it. 

Set tasks that you commit to performing 

before that cigarette, including small 

things such as going on a walk or making a 

fruit juice smoothie. Sometimes, delaying 

smoking can help you resist smoking. 

Should you still give in to the craving, forcing 

yourself to wait the extra time may wind up 

taking one cigarette off your daily total. 

If you’re looking for info on how to stop the ringing in your ears, then these 9 tips will help you get up to 

speed and avoid tinnitus.

3 

CONSIDER GETTING HYPNOTHERAPY 

Hypnosis is an effective tool to use when you quit smoking. Each year, thousands 

of people utilize the services of licensed hypnotic therapists for help with their 

smoking addiction. When you are under hypnosis, the hypnotist will fill your mind with 

positive thoughts about giving up smoking. The effect is that smoking does not seem 

so powerful and appealing once you awake from the trance. This makes quitting for 

good much easier. 


4 

TAKE IT DAY BY DAY 

You should treat quitting smoking 

day-by-day. This is a process that could 

take months before results are apparent. 

Don’t waste your time thinking about 

next year, next month, or even next 

week. Make efforts on a daily basis 

and focus on getting through each 

day without smoking so that this new 

habit becomes part of your lifestyle. 

If your goal is to finally stop smoking, you 

need to practice your skills at quitting. 

Most people who try to quit will fail on the 

first and second times. When you decide 

to quit smoking, take it day by day. If you 

do succumb to smoking again, you must 

immediately set a new quit date. Just keep 

quitting and go longer each time, learning 

along the way. Each time you attempt 

to quit smoking, you will develop new 

tactics which will eventually enable you 

to quit completely. 

5 

GET SOME GOOD REST 

If you are trying to stop smoking, 

see to it that you have plenty of rest. The 

longer you stay up, the more cravings 

you’ll face. Late nights tend to be a time 

when no one is around, and it makes it 

easier to be tempted to smoke. When you 

get the rest you need, it is easier to focus 

on your commitment to stop and resist 

the temptation to give in to cravings. 

6 

JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP 

Make sure you have a strong support 

group of friends and family members, 

when you decide to quit smoking. You 

need to let them know that you want their 

support, not their judgment. Also, warn 

them that you may be bad-tempered in the 

beginning and that your judgment may be 

somewhat cloudy. Make sure that you have 

support from close friends and loved ones 

during your quitting process; this support 

can come in handy as quitting is not easy. 


9

7 

DON’T GIVE IN TO 

YOUR CRAVINGS 

It is important to find ways to cope with 

nicotine withdrawals, to keep from giving 

in to your cravings and the stress they may 

cause. Get some exercise when cravings 

hit, engage in a hobby or teach your 

partner to give a great massage. Identify 

things you can do if you have unexpected 

downtime. Read an engrossing book or 

call a friend for example. 

8 

CREATE A REWARD 

SYSTEM FOR YOURSELF 

Treat yourself to something nice every 

time you reach your preset goals. Develop 

a list of different types of rewards 

depending on the milestone that you hit 

for extra motivation. Take the time to put 

the list in a very visible spot and view it 

daily. This will provide you with some 

extra motivation, and it might just keep 

you from caving in and smoking again. 

9 

MAKE A COMMITMENT AND QUIT IMMEDIATELY 

Commit to quitting smoking before you begin figuring out how to do so. Many 

people are not really ready to quit smoking, and that is why they ultimately fail. If you 

begin to lose your motivation, remember the reasons for quitting in the first place. 

The best advice you can get for quitting smoking is just to stop. Quitting immediately 

will provide the best chance for optimal health in the future. Decide to stop and 

don’t allow yourself to start again. This method can appear to be extremely difficult. 

However, some studies show that quitting cold turkey can be the easiest way to quit. 

You are probably aware of the many ways that stopping smoking can be of great benefit 

to you. Though sometimes knowing the benefits is not enough to help you stop smoking, 

that is where all of the tips that you have read will help you out. Apply the tips when you 

need some extra motivation or when you are hit with a craving. You will be enjoying the 

benefits of being a non-smoker before you know it. 


13 THINGS YOU SHOULD 

KNOW ABOUT EYE CARE 

by 


Follow Us: 

Eye care should be a priority for everyone. Read this article for some advice on 

how to care for your eyes so you can keep them fresh and moist. 

Maintaining sound care of your 

own eyes is a great decision 

to make. If you can’t see 

well, it may be difficult to do 

numerous things. Use the 

advice from the following article for good 

eye care tips. Read on to learn how to keep 

your eyes fresh and moist. 

1 

KNOW YOUR FAMILY 

MEDICAL HISTORY 

Assess whether there is a history of 

eye conditions within your family. This 

will allow for early diagnosis. Some 

conditions are hereditary and should 

be taken into account. Becoming aware 

of these conditions can help you seek 

treatment earlier. 

2 

QUIT SMOKING NOW 

Find a way to quit smoking if 

you’re still one of the millions doing it. 

Even though you may be aware of the 

potential damage to your lungs, your 

eyes are suffering, also. Smokers are 

highly prone to eye damage. If you stop 

smoking now, you greatly reduce your 

chance of nerve damage and cataracts. 


Stop smoking to increase the longevity of your 

eye health. Smoking leads to several issues 

including cataracts, optic nerve damage, 

and macular degeneration. If you were not 

successful in smoke cessation in the past, 

try again. The more you try to stop smoking, 

the more likely you are to be successful. 

If you smoke, make every effort to stop. 

Smoking affects your blood vessels in a 

negative way, and that includes those 

in your eye. Also, cataracts, macular 

degeneration, and optic nerve issues are 

all more likely. Try to cut back or quit 

smoking to protect eyes. 

If you’d like to avoid getting sick all the time then make sure you take the time to read these 7 tips on 

how to juice your way to a healthy you. 

 

3 

SEE YOUR EYE DOCTOR REGULARLY 

You must keep seeing your eye doctor for regular checkups. While you 

need a checkup if you struggle with eye issues, some issues might not show 

symptoms or show mild ones. During your eye exam, the doctor will check your 

eyes for common problems. Many conditions are treatable if detected early. 

You should have eye exams regularly to maintain great eye health. As you age, your 

eyes should get looked at more often. Older people are more likely to develop glaucoma 

or cataracts. A medical specialist paying close attention to your eye health will be able 

to catch any issues, early.

WATCH OUT FOR 

EXCESSIVE BLINKING 

Blinking too often can be a sign you have 

an eye issue. If your eyes are not dry, it 

just may be the result of a nervous tic 

you are experiencing. If this happens, try 

to relax. If you can rule out that it is a tic, 

consult an ophthalmologist. 

5 

WEAR GOOD SUNGLASSES 

Sunglasses will let you not have 

to deal with rays that are ultraviolet. 

Find sunglasses that block out 100 

percent of UVA and UVB rays. Consider 

polarized lenses if you drive often. 

They decrease glare. Lastly, even if you 

are a contact lens wearer who gets 

some protection from your lenses, 

wearing sunglasses is still a good idea. 

Sunglasses look great, but they are also 

useful for protection. Sunglasses keep 

those damaging UV rays away so that your 

eyes stay healthy. You can get prescription 

sunglasses or have Transitions lenses put 

in your regular glasses. 

6 

USE EYE DROPS SPARINGLY 

If you use eye drops to sooth your eyes 

because allergens irritate them, you should 

use them sparingly. While they do provide 

relief, overusing them can cause other issues. 

If eye drops do not soothe eyes enough, see 

an eye care specialist for better treatments. 


7 

DISPOSE OF OLD COSMETICS 

It is wise to ensure that any cosmetics 

that may end up in contact with the eyes 

are thrown out every 60 days. The reason is 

that bacteria builds up when you keep the 

same makeup. After awhile, you’re rubbing 

brushes bathed in bacteria around your 

face and eyes. This can lead to damage to 

eyes and their surrounding skin. 

8 

TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS 

When working on documents, 

computers or anything else that causes 

eye strain, take short breaks to walk 

around. When you walk around, your 

energy is recharged, plus you increase 

blood flow. This helps your eyes recover 

from the strain upon them and will 

increase their supply of blood and oxygen. 

Do you spend a lot of time working on the 

computer? Make sure to take frequent 

breaks. Resting your eyes allows them to 

recharge. Walk around or go outside to 

refresh your eyes. 

9 

APPLY CUCUMBER 

TO PUFFY EYELIDS 

If you have puffy eyelids, use cucumbers 

to reduce the water retention. Cut cold 

cucumbers into 1/4 inch slices and place 

on your eyelids while you relax with your 

eyes closed for about 10 minutes. Applying 

a small green tea back which you had 

soaked in cool water can also reduce the 

inflammation and puffiness. 


17

SPLASH COLD WATER 

Try splashing cold, clean water on your face and eyes, especially if you have to 

stay alert for a long period of time. Whether it is dryness, itching or simply the blood 

vessels being enlarged, this tip will help. Also, it can give you a slight boost in energy to 

continue through your day. 

WEAR A HAT 

Using a hat while you are out in bright sunlight is recommended to protect and 

shield your eyes from harsh sunlight. Although sunglasses are great, a good hat will 

give you great protection. It is best if you select one with a very wide brim. Most people 

don’t realize that their eyelids are incredibly sensitive to developing melanoma. You can 

stop this by using sunglasses and wide hats to cover your eyelids. 

NOURISH YOUR EYES 

Make sure your eyes get the 

nutrients they need. Regular doses of 

omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, vitamin C 

and E, as well as zinc, help nourish your 

eyes and keep them healthy. Irreversible 

conditions like cataracts and macular 

degeneration can be prevented. 

ADDRESS HEALTH 

ISSUES RIGHT AWAY 

Get any health issues addressed as soon 

as possible. Getting proper treatment for 

things like diabetes, hypertension, and high 

cholesterol can help your eyes. If these are 

taken care of, the risk of damage to your 

eyes, including vision loss, is raised. An 

eye condition called diabetic retinopathy 

is a condition that is caused by increased 

blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar and 

can damage blood vessels within the eyes. 

After reading this article, you should be 

able to clearly see that it is a top priority 

to keep your eyes in the best condition. 

Poor eyesight comes with a myriad of life 

altering issues. Apply the tips that you 

have learned immediately. 


8 TIPS FOR SUCCESSFULLY 

PURCHASING GOOD 

HEALTH INSURANCE 

by 

Tess Kimble 

Follow Us: 

Read these 8 tips on purchasing health insurance and avoid the frustration of 

spending too much on your policy. 

Many individuals 

wait to get health 

insurance, and 

often, it is too late. 

Most people don’t 

give health insurance a second 

thought, fail to understand 

it, doubt its affordability, or 

believe it’s not as important 

as it really is. With the 

information and advice you’ll 

find below, you can make 

better health insurance 

decisions in the future. 

1 

KNOW HOW TO SAVE 

ON INSURANCE 

To save cash on health 

insurance, ask if your 

company has wellness 

programs for their employees. 

A lot of employers these days 

give rewards to their workers 

who participate in health 

and wellness assessments. 

You might be able to get 

lower premiums and sign 


up for a fitness program for instance. 

If you qualify, there may be a discount 

medical card you can get, which will allow 

you to switch to lower cost insurance with 

your insurer. These cards allow you to 

visit physicians in their network who have 

lower costs for low-income patients. By 

having one of these, you could use an HSA 

to afford any expenses. 

2 

UNDERSTAND DIFFERENT 

INSURANCE TYPES 

Individual policies usually are much 

more expensive compared to the group 

coverage given by employers, so it is 

advised to plan accordingly. You may 

need to sacrifice some aspects of your 

policy to help keep the cost affordable, 

such as a higher deductible or less 

coverage. Every insurer will evaluate you 

differently, so it’s well worth your time to 

shop several insurers until you find the 

cheapest rates for the most coverage. 

If your spouse has a health insurance 

possibility through an employer, you may 

have to pay a surcharge to add your wife 

or husband on your plan. It might be 

cheaper to each have separate coverages 

with your employers. To find out the right 

way to go, calculate both scenarios. 

These 8 tips will help speed up the time required for you to get that flashing white smile. 

 


3 

ABOUT HEALTH INSURANCE AND MEDICINES 

Re-assess your prescription coverage every year. Health insurance 

providers frequently make changes to the medications they cover, so every 

time you sign back up, it is advisable that you check the fine print of your 

policy terms. If the pill you are taking on a daily basis is suddenly not covered, 

it is probably a good time to begin looking for another insurance provider. 


23

Regardless of how comprehensive your 

health insurance policy is, making the 

decision to use generic drugs will always 

be more cost effective. There are only rare 

instances when you won’t be able to get 

a generic version of your prescription, 

and research indicates that the name is 

the only way in which generics differ from 

brand name drugs. 

4 

BE CAREFUL WITH THE 

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE 

Do not offer up information if someone 

from a health insurance agency is 

discussing the application process. Give 

them only the information they directly 

request, nothing more. Any extraneous 

information that you provide can be used to 

increase your premiums or deny coverage. 

Your enrollment, or even worse your 

claim, could be rejected due to incorrect 

information being provided. It cannot be 

stressed enough to be careful when putting 

down information. Read your enrollment 

form in its entirety to avoid these problems. 

5 

RESEARCH HEALTH INSURANCE REGULATIONS 

When buying health insurance, familiarize yourself with local laws and 

regulations regarding health insurance. Does your state legislation offer individuals 

protection for preexisting medical conditions? Knowing these laws will allow 

you to correctly identify the provider that is right for you, but also know more 

about what you are getting yourself into during the process. You will also be 

in the know if they try to illegally deny you the coverage to which you are entitled. 

Private insurance can not be bought across state lines, as it is regulated by your home 

state. This means that going to an out-of-state hospital might not even be covered in 

your policy. Insurance companies set their own rules, so be sure to find out their policies 

ahead of time. 


6 

KNOW THE COVERAGE YOU QUALIFY FOR 

Health insurance policies have a long list of different coverage options, requiring 

you to do some homework and be very detailed and organized in your approach 

to selecting a policy. When you get started, be sure to have all of the documents 

that you will need ready to go. Also be sure to know what you want and need from 

your health insurance, be ready to talk about it, and spend some time researching 

which ones look good to you so that you are happy with your insurance policy. 

Make sure that your health insurance plan covers pregnancy expenses before you get 

pregnant, and if yours doesn’t then you’ll need to find one that does. This is critical because 

a number of medical coverage policies do not extend to certain elements involved with 

pregnancy and/or labor issues. 

7 

THE CATASTROPHIC HEALTH 

INSURANCE OPTION 

Catastrophic health insurance coverage 

is an option for individuals that cannot 

afford a standard health insurance policy. 

Catastrophic coverage will protect you 

in case you experience a severe, lifethreatening 

illness or an unexpected 

accident of injury. It makes a great addition 

to your overall health insurance portfolio. 

If you are thinking about catastrophic 

health insurance, you need to do some 

serious research. Be sure that this 

type of insurance will cover your needs 

regarding catastrophic events. After you 

purchase the policy, set up a specified 

savings account. Make regular deposits 

into this account so that you will be able 

to afford your deductibles if anything 

catastrophic occurs. 

8 

TALKING WITH YOUR 

HEALTH PROVIDER 

You’ll have to find a health insurance policy 

which lets you choose your own doctor if 

you want to keep your current health care 

provider. You should ask your doctor which 

health insurance plans are accepted and 

use one of those. Ask your health provider 

if they are giving the necessary mandated 

records to the Medical Information 

Bureau. You are entitled to an annual copy 

of the records at no charge every year. 

With more knowledge about health 

insurance, you will find it becomes easier 

to make the right decision concerning 

insurance options for yourself and your 

family. Now more than ever, it’s important 

to have adequate and affordable health 

coverage. Health insurance is among the 

most crucial decisions you’ll ever make.

9 MUST-KNOW 

FACTS ABOUT ECZEMA 

by 


Follow Us: 

Eczema can be frustrating and very uncomfortable; however, it is manageable. 

Read these 9 helpful pointers on what you can do to deal with it. 

Are you or someone else in 

your household affected by 

eczema? The problem could 

be that you don’t have the 

proper knowledge to manage 

it. Fortunately, this article was written with 

you in mind. 

1 

AVOID HOT SHOWERS 

Lukewarm showers are the way 

to go if you have eczema. Also, use a 

gentle cleanser and don’t rub too much. 

When you finish your shower, gently 

pat your skin dry with a soft towel. 

Enjoy a warm bath to soothe your skin. 

The water needs to be tepid. Sprinkle 

some colloidal oatmeal or baking soda 

in your bath. This helps soothe the skin. 

Another option is to add a half cup of 

bleach to your standard 40-gallon bath as 

this is thought to help eliminate bacteria 

on your skin. 

2 

DO NOT SCRATCH YOUR SKIN 

You will likely feel very itchy. If you 

decide to scratch, you’re going to find 

yourself scratching even more. Scratching 

can also cause serious damage to the skin 

or even lead to an infection. Moisturize as 

often as possible and use a cold 

compress which can relieve symptoms. 


29

Once you educate yourself and learn the right way to care for your skin, you will be well on your way 

to being free from your acne. 

 


3 

FIND A COMFORTABLE 

TEMPERATURE 

You have to find a comfortable 

temperature for the home that doesn’t 

upset your skin. This can help to moderate 

the symptoms that you feel. During hot 

weather, the air conditioner should remain 

on, and a humidifier can help during cold 

temperatures. The humidifier will keep 

your skin moist without drying it out like a 

heater would. 

4 

KEEP YOUR SKIN MOISTURIZED 

Dry skin and itchy skin are two 

common symptoms that eczema sufferers 

must deal with. Moisturizers are key in 

reducing this suffering. Bear in mind 

though that moisturizers are not what 

hydrates the skin. The reality is that using 

moisturizers frequently helps the skin’s 

natural moisture and oils from escaping. 

By doing this, moisturizers prevent 

the drying and cracking of the skin. 

Help prevent flare-ups of eczema 

by keeping your skin moisturized. 

Moisturized skin won’t crack because it 

stays soft. Look for moisturizers that have 

a few ingredients and no scent. Certain 

fragrances and chemicals will do the 

opposite of soothing your skin, instead of 

making the condition worse. 


5 

KEEP NAILS TRIMMED AND CLEAN 

Scratching sometimes happens when 

sufferers sleep. Short nails will reduce the 

irritation that you experience. Also, make 

sure your nails are always clean underneath. 

Make sure that your nails are as clean as 

possible. It is only natural that you react to 

eczema by scratching. If your nails are too 

long or dirty, then infections could occur 

when scratching. You can prevent these 

situations with clean, shortened nails. 

6 

MIND YOUR CLOTHING 

Eczema can be triggered by having 

your clothes touch your skin. Use only 

fabrics made from cotton or a blend 

of cotton. Fabrics like wool can cause 

irritation. Similarly, you should pay 

attention to how you are washing your 

clothes. Use mild or natural laundry soap 

and other products like fabric softener. 

Avoid clothes with itchy seams and tags. 

They may cause scratches and make your 

eczema symptoms worse. Cut all tags out 

of your clothes, or buy clothes that don’t 

have any tags, to begin with. Avoid seams 

that may become uncomfortable after 

wearing the garment for a prolonged time. 

If your seams are in your underwear, you 

may want to turn things inside out. 

7 

USE A HUMIDIFIER 

A humidifier can be quite helpful. 

Humidifiers release moist steam into 

the living environment. The steam has 

water droplets that moisten the area 

that it is in. This can help skin stay 

smooth and comfortable despite the 

season or weather. Be sure to keep 

it clean to avoid other health issues. 

A humidifier can help manage eczema. 

Dry air can dry out skin, especially during 

the winter, and this can cause eczema. A 

humidifier will put moisture in the air so 

your skin won’t get as dry. 


31

8 

KEEP SWEATING TO A MINIMUM 

Getting overheated and sweating 

a lot can aggravate eczema. Of course 

you want to stay active, but you need to 

monitor activity and cool off immediately 

afterward. Take a shower right away after 

a workout. 

9 

WEAR WATERPROOF GLOVES 

No one knows exactly what causes 

eczema or how to get rid of it permanently. 

Still, you can reduce your symptoms and 

flare-ups. The phenomenon, known as 

“dishpan hands,” is a type of eczema known 

for causing cracked, dry skin. Those who 

are plagued with hand eczema should wear 

a pair of waterproof gloves whenever they 

wash dishes. Latex gloves work, but some 

people are allergic to latex. So, cotton 

gloves can be worn underneath them. 

After the dishes are washed, gently clean 

your hands, pat dry, and add moisturizer. 

If you have had to deal with eczema, 

you certainly know that this condition 

can be quite aggravating. Maybe you 

can now better manage your eczema 

condition. Hopefully, this article provides 

the information you have needed 

from the start.

9 PIECES OF ADVICE FOR 

ANYONE WITH 

SLEEP APNEA 

by 

Tess Kimble 

Follow Us: 

Here are some pointers on battling some of the disrupting symptoms of sleep 

apnea so you can avoid the frustration of not getting enough sleep. 

If you or someone 

in your family 

has recently been 

dealing with sleep 

apnea problems, 

you are probably thinking 

about all the different ways 

you can treat this condition. 

Are you aware of what will 

fit every individual situation? 

Learning the right information 

means continuing to 

thoroughly read this article. 

1 

GIVE UP YOUR VICES 

One way to fight against 

sleep apnea is to give up vices. 

Two of the biggest problems 

are drinking and smoking. 

Drinking causes respiratory 

depression, which makes it 

more difficult to breathe. 

Over time, your lungs will 

be damaged as the result of 

smoking. Losing these terrible 

habits will help a great deal 

when it comes to alleviating 

your sleep apnea symptoms. 


If you’re looking for ways to deal with asthma, then read these 11 pointers on how to manage your symptoms 

and cope with your condition with ease. 

 


2 

LOSE THE EXTRA POUNDS 

Being overweight can be a cause 

of sleep apnea. If this is true for you, 

try getting a little thinner. A logical 

weight loss program that includes a 

restrictive, yet healthy diet together 

with a sensible exercise routine is 

necessary. Cutting out white carbs such 

as white rice, pasta and sugar is one step 

that many people use to lose weight. 

Lose some weight if you’re heavy. Several 

studies have shown that there is a link 

between obesity and sleep apnea. So, you 

can actually find substantial relief from 

your symptoms just from shedding even 

twenty or thirty pounds. 

3 

PLAY A WIND INSTRUMENT 

Start playing a wind instrument to 

alleviate your sleep apnea symptoms. 

Some studies have shown that an 

instrument like the didgeridoo can help 

you improve the muscles in your throat. 

It helps to strengthen the muscles in the 

throat, which collapse during sleep apnea 

episodes. So, if you play this instrument 

on a daily basis, it will help to limit the 

sleep apnea symptoms which in turn will 

give you a good night’s sleep. 


37

4 

REDUCE ALCOHOL INTAKE 

Try not to drink alcohol as much as 

it causes your muscles to relax. This might 

be something you want to do, but it can 

also exacerbate your sleep apnea. Like 

the rest of your muscles, those around 

your throat and airway relax under the 

influence of alcohol, making it harder 

for you to maintain a proper air passage. 

If you can’t give up drinking completely, 

at least make an effort to moderate your 

intake. Also, avoid having alcohol in 

the hours leading up to your bedtime. 

Do not drink alcohol, especially before going 

to sleep. A wide range of sleep disorders 

are compounded negatively by the use or 

consumption of alcohol, and sleep apnea 

is among them. It depresses your central 

nervous system, which can worsen your 

apnea and can make it harder for you to 

come to if you stop breathing. This can be a 

fatal combination of conditions. 

5 

SEE YOUR PHYSICIAN 

Sleep apnea is very serious. If you 

feel some of the symptoms, then you need 

to consult a physician as quickly as you can. 

If the doctor determines you are suffering 

from sleep apnea, you should consult with 

someone who specializes in this disorder 

in order to effectively treat the condition. 

You aren’t always going to be aware of 

your sleep apnea. If you happen to feel 

sleepy, tired and exhausted all the time, 

then it’s best that you consult with a 

doctor. These symptoms may be indicative 

of sleep apnea, despite the fact that you 

don’t struggle to breathe at night. 


6 

SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE 

A large number of people with sleep 

apnea sleep on their backs. If you do this, 

you might want to start sleeping on your 

side, instead. It’s been proven that you 

can sleep more comfortably by sleeping 

on one side if you have sleep apnea. 

Going to bed on your side can be something 

you can do to help you get better rest if 

you have sleep apnea. When people sleep 

on their back, their tongue and soft palate 

rest to the back of the throat, which blocks 

the airway. Try to fall asleep in a side 

position, and discover if that relieves your 

sleep apnea tonight. 

7 

TREAT YOUR SINUS OR 

ALLERGY PROBLEMS 

Because you already suffer, this should at 

least alleviate one of many sleep problems. 

You have to avoid anything else that is 

going to affect your ability to breathe while 

you are asleep. Keeping your airway free 

and clear by treating your nasal problems 

gives you a much better chance of sleeping 

through the night without problems. 

8 

TAKE A WARM BATH 

Some people become anxious due 

to their sleep apnea and make the mistake 

of taking sedatives before bed, which can 

be dangerous for apnea sufferers. Take a 


39

warm bath instead. You can relieve tension 

and relax your muscles by soaking in a 

warm bath. This helps sleep come easier. 

You will also sleep more soundly, and 

hopefully prevent sleep apnea episodes. If 

you still have sleep apnea, check with your 

doctor for other treatments. 

9 

TRY TO HELP YOURSELF 

Although professional medical advice 

is always warranted in treating sleep 

apnea, you can try out a few treatments on 

your own, too. If you lose weight and quit 

smoking, you will be able to combat sleep 

apnea. Stay away from large meals, caffeine, 

and alcohol if you have sleep apnea. 

Information can help you a lot. When you 

fully understand your options concerning 

sleep apnea, you will start to find the 

proper solution. These ideas will help you 

make the best choices for you.

11 TECHNIQUES TO 

KEEP YOUR ASTHMA 

IN CONTROL 

by 


Follow Us: 

If you’re looking for ways to deal with asthma, then read these 11 pointers on 

how to manage your symptoms and cope with your condition with ease. 

For all the people who have 

difficulties with their breathing 

due to asthma, even the smallest 

physical task can be discouraging. 

Thankfully, there are a lot of 

different treatment plans available that can 

help to put you at ease in your everyday life. 

The insights here can help you understand 

your respiratory system and leave you well 

equipped to deal with asthma in your life. 

1 

IDENTIFY YOUR 

TYPE OF ASTHMA 

There are many different types of asthma. 

Before you can develop a self-care plan 

for your asthma symptoms, you need to 

know the specific cause of your symptoms. 

If your asthma is triggered by exercise, 

throw an inhaler into your gym bag. 

Knowing your symptoms’ patterns can 

help you avoid big problems. 


If you’re looking for info on how to deal with stress and anxiety, then these 11 helpful tips will help 

you fight and cope with panic attacks. 

 

2 

AVOID CIGARETTE SMOKE 

If you have been diagnosed with 

asthma, you must avoid cigarette smoke 

at all costs. You should not smoke! 

Avoid vapors and chemical fumes from 

cigarettes. A severe asthma attack can be 

life threatening. If you are around others 

who are smoking, remove yourself. 

3 

ASK ASSISTANCE FROM 

A SOCIAL WORKER 

If you have asthma and you are not eligible for 

health insurance, speak with a social worker. 

You will need asthma medications, and if you 

are unable to afford them, a social worker 

can find a hospital or clinic that can offer you 

medication for free or for a little cost. 

4 

INSTALL A DEHUMIDIFIER 

If you have asthma, you may wish 

to consider installing a dehumidifier in 

your home. When your home has less 

humidity, there are fewer dust mites, and 

that minimizes the chances of an asthma 

flare-up. Dehumidifiers work by pulling 

the moisture out of the air of your home. 



45

5 

USE HYPOALLERGENIC 

SHEETS AND PILLOWS 

Avoid using a feather or down pillow if you 

have asthma. The feathers from a pillow 

can cause asthma symptoms and decrease 

your lung function. It is also advisable to 

use hypoallergenic sheets and comforters 

for the same reason. 

6 

GET REGULAR CHECK-UPS 

Regardless of whether your asthma 

has been flaring up, don’t neglect routine 

check-ups. Medical science is constantly 

evolving, so the doctor might know about 

a new treatment for you. Besides, you can 

never be sure when another attack might 

come on, so it’s better to be checked out. 

7 

JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP 

A support group can offer empathy 

and information about new treatments 

and medication. Asthma can be an 

extremely debilitating health issue and 

can stop you from participating in life 

the way you want to. Furthermore, these 

groups will keep you informed about 

any changes in medicines or any other 

scientific discoveries that are relevant. 

8 

KEEP YOUR HOUSE CLEAN 

Some of the main triggers of asthma 

attacks happen right inside the home. 

Three triggers comprise the asthma triad 

of doom: spores, dust, and mold. To lessen 

the risk of an asthma attack and to stay 


healthy, have your house inspected every 

year by an inspector, and remove those 

agents when they have been identified. 

As an additional measure, a home that 

is regularly cleaned will help keep these 

irritants from building up. 

9 

UNDERSTAND HOW 

YOUR INHALER WORKS 

Be sure to thoroughly understand how 

to utilize asthma medication correctly, 

particularly any rescue medication. Asthma 

is typically treated with a regular medication 

supplemented by rescue medicine, such as 

an inhaler. Asthma lasts a lifetime, so you 

must manage your treatment and lifestyle to 

ensure you’re taking the best care of yourself. 

If you have asthma, it is imperative 

that you know how to use your inhaler 

correctly. For the inhaler to work, you 

must carefully follow the directions. 

Whenever you spray your inhaler, inhale 

deeply for multiple seconds. When your 

doctor prescribes your inhaler, ask him for 

detailed instructions in using it correctly. 

You can use the preventative inhaler daily, 

but know that it can cause mouth infections 

near your gums and teeth. Always clean 

your teeth and rinse your mouth after you 

use your inhaler. 


47

LIMIT EXPOSURE TO 

PETS AND POLLEN 

Anyone with asthma should limit their 

exposure to household pets and other 

types of animals. Some people with asthma 

are allergic to animal fur or dander on top 

of their asthma, but even those who don’t 

have such an allergy can bring on an attack if 

they breathe in too much of these irritants. 

Try to avoid the seasonal pollen that may 

trigger an asthma attack. A lot of the 

same things that can bother people with 

allergies will bother people with asthma as 

well. You can get the information about air 

quality in the area you are in; people who 

have asthma should stay indoors if their 

air quality is low. 

HAVE SOME CAFFEINE 

Try using caffeine as an emergency 

backup if your asthma medications are 

unavailable during an attack. Strong black 

tea, coffee or chocolate can aid in mitigating 

asthma attack symptoms. It helps constrict 

the blood vessels and opens the airways. 

You can tackle an asthma problem on your 

own or one that troubles someone you 

care about with a little more confidence 

now that you’ve reviewed some basic 

advice about the condition and some 

of its possible treatments. Whether this 

information helps you or a family member 

or a friend, you should feel comfort 

knowing that asthma is not the worst thing 

that could happen. 


A 7-PART 

GUIDE TO 

JUICING 

by 

Tess Kimble 

Follow Us: 

Just about 

anyone can 

name at least 

one vegetable 

they are not 

particularly fond of, and 

for most of us, there are 

numerous veggies we 

try to avoid. People who 

find it almost impossible 

to eat enough fruits and 

vegetables often find that 

drinking juice is a much 

easier way to get those 

nutrients. Start out your 

juicing adventure using the 

tips in this article. 

1 

If you’d like to avoid getting sick all the time, then make sure you take the 

time to read these 7 tips on how to juice your way to a healthy you. 

JUICING IS 

VERY HEALTHY! 

If you want to remain 

healthy, and ensure your 

body gets the nutrients 

that it requires, try juicing. 

Not only does juicing 

provide you with energy, 

but it can help give you the 

drive to exercise and gain 


Eye care should be a priority for everyone. Read this article for some advice on how to care for your eyes so 

you can keep them fresh and moist. 

 


muscle. If you workout a lot you should 

eat plenty of vegetables and fruits that 

will aid you building your electrolytes 

back up. Adding whey protein is also 

good because it can help rebuild muscle. 

A well rounded juice blend can be a 

nutritious meal. If you consider the 

quantity of produce that goes into a single 

glass of juice, you may see how this can 

be true. When you drink a glass of juice 

on its own, the nutrients will be absorbed 

into the bloodstream a lot quicker. 

Add as many low-calorie foods to your 

juice to increase its nutritional value and 

help burn fat. Items that are included 

are things like herbs, cabbage, broccoli, 

or kale. You can look up other types of 

items online as well. High fiber fruits 

are also the best choice, as they take a 

lot of digestion to break down. 

2 

YOU CAN JUICE YOUR VEGETABLES 

If you are using dark, leafy greens in 

your juice blends, you may wish to consider 

adding in cucumber as well. Leafy greens 

tend to be quite strong and not taste all 

that great. Cucumber will put a nice twist 

on your drink, as well as masking the taste 

of unpleasant veggies. It also contains 

many essential nutrients, especially when 

the skin of the cucumber is left intact. 

If you suffer from diabetes or 

hypoglycemia, use only vegetables in 

your juices. Juice made from fruits can 

cause your blood sugar to rise rapidly. It 

is a good idea to keep a close eye on how 

much fruit juice you are taking for medical 

reasons. You can avoid certain health risks 

by using vegetables. 


53

3 

CHOOSING, CLEANING AND 

STORING YOUR JUICER 

When choosing a juicer, locate one that 

you may easily and quickly take apart and 

clean. Some juicers take over 25 minutes 

to assemble, disassemble, and clean. Add 

the time it takes to juice, and you may 

just want to go buy juice instead. Make 

sure that you clean the juicer right away, 

because the components are easier to 

clean if the pulp has not dried. Cleaning 

your juicer as soon as you are done 

with it will make the job easier. Also, 

some vegetables and fruits have juices 

that can stain juicer blades and jugs. 

Putting your juicer on the counter and not 

hidden in a cabinet is a great idea. This 

can help you use it more often. As long as 

it is in your field of vision, you will find it 

easier to remember how much you love 

freshly squeezed juices. 

4 

DRINK THAT JUICE RIGHT AWAY 

As soon as you make your juice, 

drink it. If you want to create the best juice 

for good health, it is vital that you know 

that nutrients in the juice are lost soon 

after it is made. The longer amount of 

time that you wait to consume the juice, 

the less nutrients you’ll receive. Therefore, 

by drinking the juice as soon as it is made, 

you will receive the most benefit from it. 

Do not delay in serving your juice, after 

it has been prepared. Ideally, you should 

serve your juice shortly after you make it. 

When juice sits in the refrigerator for a few 

days it changes into unappetizing colors. 

Understandably, brown or grey colored juice 

isn’t appetizing to most people. One solution 

to the problem is to add a teaspoon or two of 

lemon juice to the juice mixture. The lemon 

juice will help the juice retain its bright color, 

and it will not significantly alter the flavor. 


5 

JUICING INGREDIENTS 

AND THEIR BENEFITS 

Cranberries can help with bladder problems 

or urinary tract infections. When you first feel 

the symptoms of an infection, drink some 

cranberry juice. Ginger is a great food that 

can help to aid gastrointestinal problems. It 

can be added to the juice you make to give it a 

little pop and make you feel better at the same 

time. Ginger fights inflammation and soothes 

all parts of the gastrointestinal system. 

by drinking homemade juice. Juice provides 

many nutrients that can help to ease joint 

pain, aid memory or even slow down cell 

death due to free radicals. 

6 

WATCH OUT FOR TEETH STAINS 

Watch how various fruits affect 

your teeth when juicing. The dark colors 

may stain your teeth as you drink the 

juice. Be sure to at least gargle when you 

notice stains caused by drinking juice. 

Cucumber juice is great for hair and skin 

health. There is a lot of silica in cucumbers. 

Silica helps strengthen your connective 

tissues and is beneficial to ligaments, 

tendons, muscles, and bones. A tired, 

aching body can get an instant pick-me-up 

Beets and carrots are the type of foods 

that are likely to cause stains. Gently brush 

your teeth after drinking these juices if 

your teeth tend to stain easily. Another 

option would be using a straw when you 

drink juice to minimize staining. 


55

7 

KNOW THE RIGHT 

FRUIT COMBINATIONS 

When you are doing your very own juicing, 

it’s good to be mindful of the fact that not 

all fruits are created equal or the same. 

Some fruits, such as a citrus variety, 

require special equipment to efficiently 

extract the juice. Also, take extra care with 

melon juice, as it usually tastes pretty 

awful when combined with other fruits. 

When you’re making a juice, it’s best not 

to go crazy with too many flavors! You 

can make a healthy juice without having 

to use multiple vegetables. You can add 

in a few vegetables that you like with an 

apple to make it sweet and healthy for 

you. You can make fruit juice the same 

way. The taste of each fruit or vegetable 

you use will be able to shine through your 

blend if you limit how many you add. 

There is no disputing that getting enough 

fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet 

benefits your mind, body and palate. 

The information laid out in this article 

can help you realize what a big impact 

juicing will have on your health, mind and 

body. So go ahead, spice up your diet in 

a healthy way!

8 USEFUL IDEAS THAT 

ERADICATE ACNE 

by 


Follow Us: 

Once you educate yourself and learn the right way to care for your skin, you will 

be well on your way to being free from your acne. 

Most people have had to 

struggle with acne at one 

point in their lives. This may 

have been infrequent or acute 

attacks depending on your 

skin type. Because of scientific advances, 

there are new easy techniques to keep 

your skin clear. This article will give you 

some of these hints. 

1 

DITCH TEETH 

WHITENING PRODUCTS 

Remove teeth whitening products from 

your regimen. Harsh dental products 

may be causing your outbreaks if your 

acne is especially severe around your 

mouth. For example, certain types of 

toothpaste, mouthwash, or whitening 

strips may cause acne. Therefore, it is 

advisable that these products are avoided 

to minimize outbreaks. 

2 

USE WATER-BASED MAKEUP 

Makeup can be a contributing factor 

in acne. Applying foundations made with 

oil can lead to clogging of the pores. 

Water soluble makeup is better for the 

skin than oil-based products. Read all 

“oil-free” product labels very carefully 

to ensure that they are this way. Also, 


some products may contain synthetics 

that are also known to cause acne. 

Try staying away from makeup to improve 

your acne, or use makeup that is waterbased. 

Makeup can exacerbate your 

break-outs by clogging your pores. If you 

abstain, your pores should remain clean 

and clear. 

3 

KEEP STRESS AT BAY 

You probably already know that 

stress affects your skin in many ways, 

including acne breakouts. It is a true 

statement, but luckily there are many 

ways to help reduce stress in your life. 

Stretching exercises are a great way to 

reduce stress; consider Pilates, tai-chi, 

and yoga as great options. When possible, 

avoid circumstances that are known to 

cause you stress. Stress does not cause one 

to develop acne, but it can make it worse. 

Control your stress level to deal with your 

acne. Stress can cause the production of 

hormones, which is bad for your health and 

your skin. Stress reduction techniques offer 

numerous health benefits for your body and 

mind. Therefore, it is in your best interest to 

seek activities that promote this effect, such 

as working out, meditating or even listening 

to music. The more stress you have, the 

more acne will show up, so it’s important to 

keep yourself calm, cool, and collected. 

Eczema can be frustrating and very uncomfortable; however, it is manageable. Read these 9 helpful 

pointers on what you can do to deal with it. 

 

4 

USE NATURAL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS 

If you suffer from persistent acne, make sure to use only natural skin care products. 

Many non-natural skin care products have a lot of harsh ingredients in them that make 

things worse for your skin. All this does is block your pores and actually cause more 

acne. The ingredients in natural products help your skin to heal without any side effects. 



61

5 

CLEAN YOUR MOBILE 

PHONE REGULARLY 

Who would have thought you could get 

acne from a cell phone? Cellular phones 

get the oil from your face and hair and 

deposit it back at your face. Clean your 

phone often to keep it from clogging 

your pores. When you are using your cell 

phone, do not let it touch your face. This 

helps prevent any dirt or oil on the phone 

from touching your face. 

6 

KEEP YOUR HANDS 

FROM YOUR FACE 

One should avoid popping pimples and 

touching their face if they plan to improve 

their acne. By not touching their face, 

acne sufferers avoid transferring the oil 

and bacteria that cause breakouts to 

other sites. Not popping pimples reduces 

the chances of scarring and infections. 

Keep your hands from around your 

face because they are full of dirt and oil 

that can clog the facial pores. The dirt 

becomes trapped in the pores causing 

inflammation that can lead to breakouts. 

When fighting pimples, it’s critical not 

to touch those areas already affected. 

It is easy for oil and dirt to be spread 

around the skin by your fingers, and this 

can lead to further acne inflammation. It 

is important to stop touching your face 

immediately. Gestures like propping up 

on your hands and rubbing your nose can 

worsen acne problems. 


7 

DON’T LET SWEAT 

STAY ON YOUR SKIN 

When trying to prevent acne, it is vital 

not to let sweat stay on your body for too 

long. As sweat stays on your skin, it begins 

to clog up your pores, leading to acne. A 

short, warm shower should do the trick. 

Wash your face immediately after working 

out or after you have sweated profusely. 

Keep facial cleansing wipes with you if you 

are away from home. This will help you 

quickly and easily wash away bacteria. 

Remember that wipes are strictly a 

stopgap solution; they cannot replace the 

thorough cleansing you can do at home! 

8 

WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK 

Another great way to help reduce the 

occurrence of acne would be to decrease 

meats and dairy from your diet. There 

might be hormones in the meat and dairy 

items that can cause imperfections in your 

skin. Caffeine can have negative effects 

on your skin, causing more acne. Drinking 

less caffeine will make your skin healthier. 

A lot of people aren’t aware of the best 

skincare routines to reduce breakouts. 

Do not feel isolated because of your acne; 

you are in good company. Just follow the 

above tips and you’re on your way to 

having clearer skin.

9 TIPS AND TRICKS FOR 

COMBATING 

ACID REFLUX 

by 

Tess Kimble 

Follow Us: 

Read these 9 tips on acid reflux and avoid the frustration of digestive track 

problems. 

Acid reflux is 

nothing to joke 

about. When 

it comes to 

treating your 

reflux, even a few simple 

tips and changes can make 

a huge difference in the 

severity of your condition. 

Read on for top tips on 

controlling acid reflux. 

1 

BE AWARE OF 

HOW YOU EAT 

Poor eating habits is often 

what makes acid reflux rear 

its ugly head. Many people 

often eat fast and ingest 

large quantities of food. This 

is not the way to eat your 

food, and it only worsens 

your condition. You want 

to stop eating when you’re 

full instead of when you’re 

stuffed. Also, when you sit at 

the table to eat, slow down. 

Chew each bite fully and put 

your fork down frequently. 


67

Make sure you do not eat during the three 

hours prior to getting into bed. So eating 

at 8 if you go to bed at 11 can help you 

avoid acid reflux. If you lay down and your 

stomach is full, your LES muscle will have 

more pressure on it. Thus, you will likely 

experience an acid reflux flare. 

2 

OBSERVE PROPER POSTURE 

AWAKE OR ASLEEP 

Always remain in an upright position 

while eating and in the two to three 

hours following each meal. When you 

recline, you are more prone to acid reflux 

flareups. Your esophagus will feel much 

better when you get up on your feet. 

Don’t recline post-meal. The thinking 

here is that gravity’s your best bet in 

avoiding acid reflux. Based on your body 

and what you’ve eaten, you may need 

to wait longer before you can recline. 

Is nighttime heartburn an issue for you? 

If so, think about your sleeping positions. 

Get into the habit of sleeping on your left 

side. Doing this will keep your stomach 

acids where they belong. 

Anxiety can bring negativity in a person’s life, but this can be dealt with in a healthy way. Here are some tips 

on how you can properly deal with it. 

 


3 

LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE 

Stop smoking! Smoking causes and 

worsens acid reflux symptoms. It slows 

digestion and increases stomach acids. It 

also slows down the production of saliva. 

Finally, your esophageal sphincter is 

weakened. That’s why you should quit today. 

Refrain from drinking alcohol, which 

can irritate your stomach lining. Besides 

causing acid to begin to build up 

and eat away at your stomach lining, 

alcohol worsens acid reflux. Whenever 

you go out with your friends, be sure 

to keep your drinking under control 

so that you won’t feel sick afterward. 

Shed excess pounds to decrease the impact 

of acid reflux. Obesity is one major cause 

of acid reflux occurring. Losing just 10 

percent of how much you weigh can reduce 

the occurrence of acid reflux. Don’t be silly 

with excessive dieting schemes, instead 

reduce the size of your meal portions. 


4 

KNOW WHAT FOOD CAUSES ACID REFLUX 

Some foods are much more likely to cause acid reflux than others. You 

should partake of these foods infrequently. A few foods that frequently cause 

problems are tomatoes, milk, alcohol, acidic juices, coffee or spicy foods. 

Don’t eat food with a ton of fat. Fast food is one of the main culprits that you must avoid. 

Examining the nutritional labels of your food choices to discover the fat content they possess. 

Many people find that gluten triggers reflux. Limit your consumption of gluten products 

and you can see less reflux. You may think you have to eliminate all grain from your 

diet, but this isn’t true. Some great grains that provide your body with necessary fiber 

and nutrition include millet and quinoa. 

5 

LEARN TO PROPERLY HYDRATE 

You can reduce acid reflux by not 

drinking during your meals. Any type 

of liquid that you drink when you eat 

increases the volume in your stomach. This 

adds pressure to the esophageal sphincter, 

raising the danger of reflux. Instead of 

drinking with meals, drink in between them. 

Do you enjoy being active and participating 

in strenuous exercise, but you experience 

acid reflux very often? Fortunately, your 

problem may be easily fixed. One way to 

help is to drink plenty of water. Water 

keeps you hydrated. It will also help ensure 

your food digests properly. Water helps 

you digest your food; thus, limiting the 

amount of acid your stomach produces. 

6 

SAY NO TO SODAS 

Watch out for carbonated drinks and 

those with high levels of caffeine. Beverages 

such as these can end up increasing 

the amount of acid in your stomach. 

In addition, they are an irritant to the 

stomach’s lining, which can exacerbate acid 

reflux symptoms even more. Herbal teas 

and green teas are excellent alternatives. 


69

Be aware of the kind of beverages you 

drink and how much you drink with your 

meals. Have you ever had four sodas with 

dinner? If you lower the amount of liquid 

you drink, it can help eliminate reflux. 

7 

DON’T SELF DIAGNOSE 

Never diagnose yourself. People 

fall into the easy trap of self-diagnosis, 

and most of the time, online searches 

are methods to perform self-diagnosis. 

If you believe you may have this 

condition due to symptoms, such as 

stomach discomfort and regurgitation, 

then you should talk to your doctor. 

There are other disorders that are similar 

in effect to acid reflux. You need to ensure 

what you have is really acid reflux to avoid 

the hazard of self-medicating. Your doctor 

can verify if you do have acid reflux. 

8 

KEEP IT COOL AND HANG LOOSE 

Reduce stress if you have acid 

reflux. While stress itself does not cause 

acid reflux, it can increase the likelihood 

that you will engage in activities that 

do, such as overeating, smoking, and 

drinking. This can help reduce the 

acid that is produced by your body. 

Constrictive clothing and tight belts are 

not necessary. This actually worsens 

symptoms by constricting your stomach.

12 TIPS TO 

BOOST YOUR MEMORY 

by 


Follow Us: 

Being forgetful is normal. Read these 12 tips and learn some simple techniques 

that you can use to improve your memory. 

It’s not possible to push a 

button and have a memory 

pop up. Some things you learn, 

you forget. To improve your 

memory skills, follow the tips 

presented in this article. 

1 

USE MNEMONIC DEVICES 

One of the most popular ways to 

commit information to your long-term 

memory is to utilize one of many different 

mnemonic devices. Mnemonic devices are 

used for memory in a way similar to how 

shorthand writing is a useful device for taking 

dictation. You will associate information 

with another word, and you will be able to 

relate it and have a map to that memory. 

Use a mnemonic device to help you retain 

important information. This technique 

calls for linking the new information with 

something you already know well. These 

typically involve songs, jokes or rhymes, 

and they’re an extremely fun method 

of improving your memory. These often 

eliminate frustration from studying.

It is not impossible to get rid of the orange-peel look on your skin. Here are tips on how you can deal 

with cellulite to bring out your smooth skin. 

 


2 

CREATE REMINDERS 

WITH STICKY NOTES 

Sticky notes and lists are very popular 

for those people that have difficulty 

remembering important things. Stick your 

notes in places you know they will not be 

missed or forgotten, such as next to your 

phone or near the computer screen. These 

notes can help you remember important 

things. 

3 

GET ENOUGH QUALITY SLEEP 

Make sure you allow time to get 

enough quality sleep each night. Both 

long-term and short-term memory can 

be affected by lack of sleep. If you are 

tired, you are going to have trouble 

remembering things. Getting more 

sleep each night is the way forward 

to helping your memory improve. 

Making sure you get enough sleep each 

night is important. There is a direct 

correlation between lack of sleep and 

memory retention. If you’re having trouble 

staying focused, you are also going to have 

trouble committing recent occurrences to 

your long-term memory. 


4 

RELATE NEW WITH THE EXISTING 

Here is a great tip to help you 

remember new things. As you’re reading 

new material and are attempting to 

retain it, it helps a lot if you can relate 

new material to other things that you’re 

already familiar with. If your thoughts 

are like a web, where each new piece of 

information is linked to another one piece 

that you already know, you will have a 

better time remembering new thoughts. 

Learn to relate important new information 

with existing information in your mind. This 

will help you expand your memorization 

abilities. For example, you can link 

information to a more familiar concept. Over 

time, this process will make it easier to store 

information in your long-term memory. 

5 

CHECK OUT SELF-HELP BOOKS 

You may find helpful books for 

improving your memory during a visit to 

your library. Look for books written by wellknown 

experts. They may contain valuable 

exercises and tips for enhancing your 

ability to retain and recall information. 

6 

DON’T ENTERTAIN SELF-DOUBT 

People believe that your memory 

worsens with age. This isn’t true all of the 

time. Expecting that your memory will start 

to go can actually damage your memory. 

You may begin to doubt your memory if your 

friends or family question it as well. If you 

believe your memory is good, it can help it. 


77

7 

CREATE A SCHEDULE 

You should use calendars, journals, 

and other planning tools. Purchase day 

planners and write things down. Create 

a set schedule and consult it as often as 

needed. Writing these things down and 

looking at them will help your mind. Once 

you have looked at the information, you 

will be more likely to remember it. This is 

especially useful for those who are prone 

to forgetfulness. 

8 

REMEMBER BY ASSOCIATION 

If you’re trying to remember 

something, associate it with a funny 

image, song, or phrase. Humor makes 

learning more fun, and you will find it is 

easier to remember things later. If there 

are times when someone has given you 

information, and you are having a hard 

time remembering it, you may want to try 

to put it in your own words and then try 

to learn it. It’s often easier for people to 

remember something if they’ve worded it 

in their own unique way. 

9 

SAY IT OUT LOUD 

When you need to commit something 

to memory, it helps to speak it out loud. 

For example, when you learn something, 

such as a number, say it out loud a few 

times. Repeating things where you can 


hear it is a great way to ensure that you 

remember that bit of information at a 

later date. If at all possible, say the name 

out loud more than once. 

REMEMBER PEOPLE’S NAMES 

Do you have problems 

remembering peoples’ names? A great 

trick for you to use is to connect the 

person you’ve just met with someone else 

you know with the same or a similar name. 

Making a mental connection between a 

new friend and a famous person is another 

way to remember names. When you link 

the new name with familiar knowledge, 

it will help you remember the new name 

when you encounter your new friend again. 

Pay attention when introduced to new 

information and it will be easier to 

remember. When you meet someone for 

the first time, repeat their name, think 

of how it is probably spelled and ask for 

clarification if needed. For example, ask, 

“Is that Christy with an I or a Y?” Make 

a habit to say something including their 

name and this will help you to remember 

it later. Using her name during the 

conversation and linking it mentally to 

what you talked about will make it easier 

to remember her name the next time. 

STAY AWAY FROM DISTRACTIONS 

If you’re studying a subject 

that you really need to remember, you 

should eliminate distractions and focus 

on nothing but that subject. You have to 

get the information from your short-term 

memory and into your long-term memory 

instead if you wish to recall it at a later 

time. The way to ensure that what you 

want to remember gets implanted in your 

long-term memory is to be free of outside 

distractions. 

FOLLOW AN OUTLINE 

When you are studying, have your 

material laid out in an organized, outlined 

form. When you have the subjects you 

want to master organized in groups, it 

is easier to remember the things you 

want to learn. The outline does not need 

to be especially long or short, but just 

enough for you to grasp and recall easily. 

There are always steps that can be taken 

to improve one’s memory. Use what you 

learn from this article in order to increase 

your ability. This will also help you recall 

things from your memory.

10 WAYS TO STOP LETTING 

ANXIETY LIMIT 

YOUR LIFE 

by 

Tess Kimble 

Follow Us: 

Anxiety can bring negativity in a person’s life, but this can be dealt with in a 

healthy way. Here are some tips on how you can properly deal with it. 

People living all 

over the globe 

have anxiety. 

It can be quite 

scary to deal 

with the traumatizing 

effects of anxiety, but there 

are ways to combat it. The 

very good news is that 

you can do something to 

deal with it. The following 

article contains advice that 

you could use to properly 

deal with anxiety. 

1 

MANAGE EVERYDAY 

STRESS 

To help keep anxiety at bay, 

manage everyday stress. 

When you are too stressed 

out, your level of anxiety 

tends to rise as well. Try to 

delegate a few tasks so that 

you start to relieve a bit of 

the pressure that you are 

faced with. Also, be sure to 

have a certain amount of 

time to unwind every day.

Stay away from people that cause you 

stress. An example of this will be if you 

have someone you hang out with who is 

negative. Try to avoid that person as much 

as you can. Negative people will only 

increase your feelings of anxiety. 

2 

GET SOME EXERCISE 

To be sure that your anxiety isn’t 

affecting you too much, exercise as much 

as you can every day. The endorphins 

that regular exercise produces will 

promote happiness and reduce your 

stress levels. Additionally, experts 

recommend physical activity to maintain 

your general health and well-being. 

Exercise consistently if you suffer from 

anxiety. Exercise can help to relieve stress, 

which in turn reduces the symptoms of 

anxiety. For an ideal outcome, and to 

get better quicker, a 30-minute aerobic 

workout is recommended. 

3 

BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT 

Anxiety often disrupts your normal 

breathing pattern and using a specific 

pattern of your breathing can help you regain 

control. Gently count to yourself as you are 

breathing, then let the relaxed feelings seep 

into your body. For the best outcome, find a 

quiet area to do this breathing. 

4 

START YOUR DAY WITH POSITIVITY 

Tell yourself good things that you 

have done, make yourself feel good in the 

morning. Tell yourself how your ideal day 

will go, and your goals for the day. Then, 

do everything you can to ensure your day 

goes how you intend it to. 


5 

EAT A HEALTHY, BALANCED DIET 

It is necessary to have a balanced and 

nutritious diet, but even more critical when 

anxiety attacks are involved. In contrast 

to junk food, a balanced diet provides 

you with the vitamins and other nutrients 

your body requires to remain healthy. 

Eat a healthy diet. Foods that are high in 

caffeine or sugar can make your anxiety 

worse. Other options, typically healthier 

choices, can help to prepare your body to 

fight back when anxiety strikes. Keeping a 

food diary can help reduce your anxiety. 

Make a conscious effort to change it for 

the better. 

6 

EXPRESS HOW YOU FEEL 

Talk with others about how you 

feel, such as friends, family members 

or a professional. Keeping your issues 

to yourself and not expressing your 

feelings isn’t going to help you feel 

better. Voicing out your feelings 

could make you feel a lot better, 

and it can help reduce your anxiety. 

Express your biggest fear to someone 

you trust, and make it bigger than it is. 

After hearing how ridiculous you sound 

out loud, often people see their fear 

from a different perspective. 

7 

FIND A CREATIVE OUTLET 

Remaining sedentary and focusing 

on the negative is not likely to help things. 

The best thing to do is keep your body 

and mind busy. Hobbies and creative 

outlets occupy your mind, leaving less 

room for anxiety. 


85

8 

TRY TO REMAIN IN THE PRESENT 

Anxious people tend to put too 

much emphasis on the past or the future 

and miss out on the joy of the present. 

This will make you feel worried and 

overwhelmed, and that can cause a panic 

attack. Keep anxious feelings to a low level 

and do not focus on anxious thoughts. 

During times when you feel anxious, watching 

an enjoyable comedy can be helpful. This 

genre can help bring laughter to your life, 

offer a new perspective and take your mind 

off of the troubles that caused your anxiety. 

9 

HAVE SOME TEA 

A lot of people use hot tea when they 

are dealing with anxiety. Drinking it helps 

create a feeling of relaxation. With this or 

any other technique, be sure to consult 

your doctor first as relaxation might not 

be enough to stop anxiety. If you find that 

your anxiety doesn’t leave after a period of 

time, you must consider talking things out 

with a medical professional to improve. 

CONSIDER DIFFERENT 

TREATMENT OPTIONS 

If you are suffering from anxiety, 

consider both medical and natural 

treatment options. Your physician can 

look over your affliction and prescribe 

or suggest specific medications. 

Similarly, the natural approach such 

as changes in diet could prove to be a 

big difference. It has been learned that 

the success rates are much higher for 

those that combine treatment solutions. 

Anxiety can be decreased in daily life. 

The ideas presented here were but a 

few that you can use to manage anxiety. 

All you have to do is use them to your 

advantage. You will eventually realize that 

the anxiety that you are feeling could be 

dealt with completely. 


9 PRINCIPLES FOR 

DEALING WITH TINNITUS 

by 


Follow Us: 

If you’re looking for info on how to stop the ringing in your ears, then these 9 

tips will help you get up to speed and avoid tinnitus. 

Many people think that the only 

way to treat tinnitus is to wait 

for it to simply disappear on 

its own. There are several 

different options available 

that can provide relief. Don’t give up if one 

particular approach doesn’t work for you. 

Try the next! Choose from the effective 

suggestions available in the article below. 

1 

SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP 

If your medical professional 

indicates that there isn’t anything they 

can do about your tinnitus, get a second 

opinion. One doctor may not have the 

necessary training to suggest an effective 

treatment, but there are those who do. 

You have to get the advice of a physician 

if you want to try homeopathic treatments 

for your tinnitus. To protect your 

own health, you should never take a 

supplement unless it was recommended 

by a licensed healthcare professional. 

Tinnitus may be caused by an underlying 

medical condition, so see your doctor first. 


It is not an easy feat to quit smoking. These 9 tips will help you plan your program so you can kick the 

smoking habit for good. 

 

2 

YOUR BEDROOM SHOULD 

BE A SLEEP ONLY ZONE 

When tinnitus is bothering you, only 

give yourself about 15 minutes to get 

to sleep. If you do not fall asleep during 

that period of time, then get off your bed 

and go into another room. Do not do any 

physical activity or anything stressful. 

Tiring yourself to sleep might boomerang 

back to you and cause you to be even more 

awake. Instead, stick with an activity that 

will relax you. By leaving the bedroom, you 

help make the room a “sleep only” zone. 

This should, over time, alleviate much of 

the unwanted tossing and turning you can 

experience at bed time when you aren’t 

tired enough. 

3 

RESEARCH ON 

TREATMENT OPTIONS 

You may find that the more you know about 

tinnitus, the easier it will be to treat it and 

cope with it. There is a plethora of information 

regarding tinnitus on the Internet, as well 

as in books and journal articles. Gaining 

an understanding of what the causes are 

might make it more tolerable for you. 



91

A good ear flush can be an effective 

first treatment to consider if you are 

experiencing tinnitus symptoms. Excessive 

wax in the ears can make tinnitus worse. 

Using cotton swabs inside the ear canal 

can push it up against your eardrum. 

4 

STRESS CAN CAUSE THE 

RINGING TO GET LOUDER 

Attempt as much semblance of organization 

in your life that you can, since stress is a 

proven exacerbant of tinnitus. Look for a 

new job which allows you to work the way 

you want to work, and start spending more 

low-key, relaxed time with those you love. 

To reduce or eliminate your tinnitus 

symptoms, think about your overall level 

of stress. While a physical affliction, 

tinnitus is often just the manifestation of 

something emotional. Use a schedule or 

agenda to plan your days ahead of time, 

which can leave you less rushed. Learn 

relaxation techniques and incorporate 

them into your daily activities so they will 

become second nature to you. 

5 

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK 

AT YOUR DIET 

There is scientific data suggesting that 

tinnitus may be linked to inflammation. 

So, it makes sense to adopt an antiinflammatory 

diet in an effort to control 

your symptoms. So, you want to add in 

foods like vegetables and fruits to your 

diet, as well as other foods that are antiinflammatory, 

like flax seed oil and salmon. 

It may be time to take a closer look at 

your diet. Some tinnitus sufferers claim 

that changing their eating habits has 

cured their condition. Some recommend 

gingko biloba, vitamin B12 and giving up 

coffee. Change only one dietary factor at a 

time, though, so that any results that you 

experience will be easily traceable. 


6 

GET ACTIVE AND GET SUPPORT 

Fill your schedule with exciting 

activities in which you like to participate. 

Your mind will naturally be focused on 

something other than your tinnitus. 

Many people allow this condition to 

control their lives, but you don’t have 

to. Concentrate on doing activities 

you enjoy to distract yourself. 

It could help to find others who deal with 

tinnitus. Oftentimes building a database 

of support groups for yourself can really 

lessen the stress and anxiety you might feel 

towards your condition. Tinnitus sufferers 

are all in this together, so it’s important 

that you trade advice for improving quality 

of life with other sufferers. 

7 

GET RELIEF AT HOME 

Do not let tinnitus get to you at home. 

Create white noise by turning on a small 

fan or turning down the air conditioner. 

If that overwhelms you, try placing a tiny 

fan in each room, or playing a sound CD. 

If you can drown out tinnitus sounds while 

at home, it’ll be a lot easier to deal with 

your condition. You probably won’t notice 

ringing in your ears as much while you are 

busy doing things outside of your home, 

so it won’t bother you so much. You won’t 

even need specialized equipment. 

8 

BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES WORK 

If you want relief from your tinnitus, 

it might be necessary to restrict certain 

behaviors that engage the condition. These 

behaviors include drinking alcohol, using 

tobacco and taking NSAIDs like aspirin. 

Get professional help if you need to. 

Visit a counselor who specializes in 

cognitive behavioral therapy. This type 

of therapy will teach you how to stop 

focusing on tinnitus so much. The help of 

a professional can get you past the stress 

that you feel when you are confronted with 

your tinnitus. This will make it easier to 

cope with. Don’t let tinnitus control you. If 

you do, it will be hard to live a happy life. 


93

9 

EXPLORING CREATIVE SOLUTIONS 

Learning to play a musical instrument 

is one of the more creative ways to distract 

yourself from tinnitus. Certain instruments, 

like woodwind and brass, are the most 

effective at canceling the noise, that’s 

because they’re close to your head and the 

sound ends up resonating inside your skull. 

Try using massage to help reduce tinnitus 

symptoms. Increased blood flow can 

help clear your mind and reduce physical 

stress associated with tinnitus. The 

more you are relaxed, the less hard your 

heart works, and this in return reduces 

your blood pressure. If the sound you 

are hearing is caused by blood rushing 

through your ears, as is the case for many 

sufferers, your symptoms may improve 

when your blood moves more slowly. 

As we have said before, tinnitus has been 

thought of as something that one has to 

deal with. If you are open to some new 

ideas, maybe trying some new things, you 

can actually minimize or even eliminate 

tinnitus. Use the tips above and you may 

be able to find some peace. 


12 EFFECTIVE POINTERS FOR 

DEALING WITH 

CELLULITE 

by 

Tess Kimble 

Follow Us: 

It is not impossible to get rid of the orange-peel look on your skin. Here are 

tips on how you can deal with cellulite to bring out your smooth skin. 

When you have 

cellulite, you may 

not know what 

to do to get rid 

of it. Have you 

bought numerous creams 

and lotions in an attempt to 

get rid of cellulite? Do you 

want to find the answers that 

will actually help you deal 

with your cellulite problem? 

This article is the right one 

for you. 

1 

GET SOME EXERCISE 

If you are having 

problems getting rid of 

cellulite, then cardiovascular 

exercise can help. If you 

incorporate cardio exercises 

into your exercise plan 

and target your trouble 

spots that have cellulite, 

then noticeable results will 

appear in no time. Biking 

and running are great 

exercises to improve your 

thighs, hips, and buttocks. 


It is best to tone the muscles in your 

thighs, buttocks, and legs to avoid seeing 

cellulite on your body. Some exercises that 

are good for this are lunges and squats. 

This will also improve strength and can cut 

down on fat in these areas. 

2 

IMPROVE YOUR DIET 

Improving your diet can help 

eliminate the appearance of cellulite. 

Eat enough vegetables and fruits. They 

leave an alkaline ash behind that can 

help make sure your body looks its best. 

Juicing is a fantastic way to get your body 

all the vegetables and fruits it needs. 

Cellulite may be reduced through a 

healthy diet. Whole grains and foods that 

are rich in fiber can fight cellulite-creating 

toxins. Drinking adequate water as well as 

eating a healthy diet also helps to flush 

out toxins. 

Being forgetful is normal. Read these 12 tips and learn some simple techniques that you can use to improve 

your memory. 

 


3 

DON’T RESORT TO PLASTIC SURGERY 

People often opt for plastic surgery, but this should be something you do as your 

last-ditch effort. There are safer, cheaper ways to get rid of your cellulite. Surgery should 

be your last option when everything else has failed. 

4 

KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED 

Eat healthy foods, omega-3 oils and drink a lot of water during the day. Why should 

this be seen as important? Because bodies that stay hydrated will have less of a dimpling 

effect that is seen in a lot of cellulite. When you hydrate your skin, you make it more 

plump. This eliminates the dimples. It is an easy and effective form of fighting cellulite. 


99

5 

DON’T STRESS TOO MUCH 

Stress is a big contributor to cellulite. Stress produces a hormone called 

cortisol which can make your body store energy and fat. Think about doing 

yoga and meditation exercises. Go for walks that are long and relaxing. Find 

something that is calming and will work best for you, then get enough sleep nightly. 

Reducing your stress levels also helps to reduce cellulite. When a stressful situation 

occurs, the hormone Cortisol is let loose in your body. That hormone will thin skin and 

make your storage of fat increase. To get rid of stress, try doing meditation and yoga. 

6 

TRY TO GET SOME TAN 

A good way to reduce the 

appearance of cellulite is by tanning. 

Tanning does not eliminate the condition, 

but it minimizes the appearance of it. 

Exposing your skin to the sun can be 

harmful, so try a spray tan. Do your 

research, though, and find a trusted brand. 

Cellulite may be less noticeable if you get a 

tan. Everything, cellulite patches included, 

looks smaller when dark. Make sure that 

you exfoliate your skin before applying 

any sort of tanning spray or lotion. You 

want the tan to be even. 

7 

USE A BODY BRUSH ON YOUR 

CELLULITE 

Brushing helps rid your body of dead skin, 

and it also helps stimulate circulation 

and increase lymphatic flow. This process 

will allow your skin cells to drain, which 

can mitigate the effects of cellulite. Try 

brushing twice a day with long strokes. 

Use a dry brush with natural bristles to 

boost circulation and limit the buildup 

of cellulite. Work from the tops of your 

feet up the rest of your body to remove 

dry skin cells from your entire body. This 

helps increase your blood’s circulation and 


improves the appearance of your skin. It 

will also stimulate your skin and improve 

blood circulation in the area. If you’re able 

to be gentle, it can make your skin smooth 

while relaxing you. 

8 

CONCENTRATE ON 

LIFESTYLE CHANGES 

To cut down cellulite, concentrate on 

lifestyle changes. Sometimes, cosmetic 

options may not be right for you. Eating 

healthily and exercising regularly can 

help maintain hormone levels. Try to 

avoid stressful situations which can cause 

abnormal hormone production. 

9 

DITCH BREAD FOR A MONTH 

Try to avoid bread for about a month 

if you struggle with cellulite. Your body 

treats bread as sugar and will increase 

your chances of having cellulite. See if 

you can cut it out entirely, and then watch 

for the changes. 

LECITHIN AND ESSENTIAL 

FATTY ACIDS 

Restore the dermal cells in your body to 

their initial strength by eating foods rich in 

lecithin. For instance, lettuce and soy have 

plenty of lecithin, so try eating them daily. 

A nice option for a meal could be a salad 

with these items, including soy cheese. 

Make sure you have a diet rich in essential 

fatty acids. You might think all fats must 

be avoided, but essential fatty acids are 

needed. These essential fatty acids build 

connective tissue that helps prevent 

cellulite. It is important to look for healthy 

ways to consume those essential fatty acids. 


101

MASSAGE AREAS WITH CELLULITE 

Though it may seem strange, 

massaging the areas that have cellulite is 

a good way to reduce its appearance. Try 

using a scrub that contains caffeine to 

tighten and strengthen your skin. This will 

make your cellulite less visible. Also, try to 

massage the area that is affected. 

USE A COFFEE SCRUB 

This can break down your fat 

cells. Apply heated coffee grounds in a 

scrubbing motion with a towel on the areas 

with cellulite. After, wrap the scrubbed 

areas in plastic wrap, so the grounds 

stay warm and close to the skin. Keep it 

applied for 10 minutes at the minimum. 

You are not unhealthy or lazy just because 

you have cellulite. Many women deal 

with cellulite, and unfortunately, it is not 

something that is easily removed. Realize 

that your problem is not unique, and most 

women have the same thing. After reading 

this article, you should know everything there 

is to know about cellulite. Use these tips, and 

you will soon see smoother skin. You will be 

happy with the results of your efforts. 


AN 8-PART GUIDE TO 

TEETH WHITENING 

by 


Follow Us: 

These 8 tips will help speed up the time required for you to get that flashing 

white smile. 

Suppose you have it all: a great 

hair day, a flattering outfit 

and a natural radiance to 

your skin. But, your teeth are 

kind of yellow and this can 

make you feel less confident. Professional 

whitening for your teeth can provide the 

fastest results. To get the best results and 

the whitest smile, a few visits are normally 

necessary. Some of the best teeth 

whitening techniques are only available 

through a dentist. If a trip to the dentist 

is not forthcoming though, here are some 

suggestions to help whiten teeth! 

1 

OPTIONS ON 

WHITENING STRIPS 

If you have tried the two-hour teethwhitening 

strips and now have more 

sensitive teeth or gums, switch over to 

strips designed to stay on for only 30 

minutes. Even though the 30-minute strips 

will take 14 days of twice-a-day applications, 

they will help decrease gum sensitivity. 


Read these 8 tips on purchasing health insurance and avoid the frustration of spending too much on 

your policy. 

 

Teeth whitening strips come in many, 

highly affordable varieties. You place the 

strip on your teeth and let it remain for a 

set amount of time. Whitening strips used 

to be a popular teeth whitening method, 

but because of their bad results, their 

popularity has faded. 

2 

USING WHITENING 

PRODUCTS 

See to it that you follow the directions 

when it comes to the home whitening 

products you are using. You will only 

end up with an irritated mouth and 

inflamed gums. Even worse, you could do 

permanent damage to your teeth. Always 

use your whitening products according 

to directions as stated in the packaging. 

Carefully follow the directions included on 

any teeth whitening product you purchase. 

You risk problems with your gums and 

tooth sensitivity if you use these products 

for longer than recommended on the 

packaging. To further protect your teeth, 

once you’ve finished the whitening, stay 

away from acidic beverages like sports 

drinks or sodas. 



107

USING PRODUCTS ON 

ARTIFICIAL TEETH 

Teeth whitening is a fantastic method 

as long as you still have your natural, 

real teeth. Artificial surfaces, in fact, 

will likely not be whitened at all. That 

means those with artificial teeth like 

crowns, fillings and veneers will have 

to look to other cleaning options. 

When you attempt to use teeth whitening 

products and you have artificial surfaces, 

you may not be happy with the results. 

Most likely, your natural teeth will emerge 

from the process whiter, while those with 

artificial surfaces remain the same. Thus 

creating an uneven color and not really 

something you can flash around.

USING NATURAL PRODUCTS 

Brushing with strawberry juice 

is one method to whiten your teeth. 

The juice is acidic and will make the 

tooth enamel softer, enabling you to 

eliminate much of the discoloration. 

This is a relatively inexpensive way to 

get the smile you have always wanted. 

Whiten your teeth with coconut oil. 

Organic is best. Every day, spend 10 

minutes swishing a mouthful of coconut 

oil over your teeth and gums. This is an allnatural 

method of lifting stubborn surface 

stains. After around 10 minutes have 

passed, rinse your mouth out and brush 

as you normally would. Results should be 

seen after only a few days.

GOOD ORAL HABITS 

Drinking water is a great thing for the 

health of your mouth since it helps whiten 

your teeth. The water will gently rinse your 

mouth, preventing stains from developing 

on your teeth. It is a healthy habit to 

drink water during meals and afterwards. 

Regular flossing and brushing of your 

teeth is among the most successful 

methods in whitening your teeth. 

You can get rid of plaque that causes 

discoloration by using these tips. You 

should get into the good habit of brushing 

and flossing your teeth after meals. 

Don’t smoke. Smoking not only shortens 

your lifespan, but makes your teeth look 

nasty. A visual sign of a smoker is yellow 

teeth. It can be difficult, if not impossible, 

to keep your teeth white if you are a 

smoker. If you can’t kick the habit, at least 

try to cut back for the sake of your health 

and your teeth.

EFFECTIVE BRUSHING 

While brushing your teeth each 

time you eat should be part of your daily 

routine, this becomes even more important 

after you have had your teeth whitened. 

Food particles can cause the growth of 

bacteria on your teeth. Whitening your 

teeth softens them and causes them to 

be more susceptible to bacteria growth 

and damage. You can prevent that 

damage by brushing after each meal. 

If you are serious about whitening your 

teeth, consider using an electric toothbrush. 

Electric brushes are better at buffing away 

stains caused by tobacco, wine and other 

dark beverages. You might be surprised 

by how well an electric toothbrush can 

improve the whiteness of your teeth.

USING HOME REMEDIES 

A mixture of baking soda and water 

will prove to be a teeth whitening product 

that is both effective and all-natural. Baking 

soda can be used as a gentle abrasive 

that can lightly polish away stains from 

the surface of your teeth, making them 

appear brighter and cleaner. For a quick 

way to make it, wet your toothbrush at the 

sink and then put the wet brush directly 

into the baking soda to create the paste. 

Hydrogen peroxide should never be used 

for teeth whitening, despite urban myth. 

It is not safe if you accidentally swallow 

some and can also lead to uneven coloring 

on your teeth. Steer clear of any product 

that contains hydrogen peroxide. However, 

if you have tried that it works for you, use 

hydrogen peroxide carefully when you want 

to whiten your teeth. Dip your washcloth 

into this solution. When it is damp, rub it 

against your teeth’s surface. The peroxide 

will work to lighten stains and the wash 

cloth will act as a scrubber. 

8 

CHOOSING ORAL CARE PRODUCTS 

Use a mouthwash to whiten your teeth. 

Don’t expect instant results from whitening 

toothpastes and mouthwashes. These 

mouthwashes have peroxide in them, which 

can whiten your teeth. Before you brush your 

teeth in the morning and before bed, swish 

the mouthwash around for 30 seconds. 

Avoid toothpastes that have fluoride in 

them. Often misunderstood, fluoride is 

actually chemical-based and is prevalent 

is some foods, water and dirt. You should 

avoid excess because it’s been proven to 

discolor your teeth if you apply too much 

on them. Choose a toothpaste free of 

fluoride to naturally whiten your smile. 

Now you can not doubt that a perfect smile 

is totally attainable. Whether you see your 

dentist or you want to experiment at home, 

there are many options for you. Once you 

have put these tips to good use, you will 

have every reason to smile frequently 

and feel great.

need to be addressed. The 

advice listed here will help 

you discover how to handle

FIND SUPPORT GROUPS 

Do an online search for local support 

groups that specialize in panic attacks. 

This can help you see what others do to 

deal with their problem, and it provides 

you with a chance to vent to others who 

you can trust to understand. 

3 

CONTROL YOUR BREATHING 

You can ease the symptoms of 

a panic attack by taking note of your 

rapid breathing during an attack and 

figuring out how to slow it down. 

Make sure you control your breathing 

because this will help make the attack 

end sooner. To gain control while you 

are having an attack, take deep breaths. 

When you have a panic attack you can stop, 

sit down, and start breathing. Use a deep 

breathing technique wherein you breathe 

slowly in through the nose, allowing 

your stomach to rise, and out through 

the mouth. Count to five for both the 

inhalation and the exhalation. Try this ten 

times, and you should feel much better. 

Practicing deep breathing techniques 

when you feel the beginning of a panic 

attack will relax your muscles and make 

you calmer. Having already learned 

relaxation techniques, such as yoga or 

meditation, will help you get through a 

panic attack more easily, not only that, but 

it can lessen the effects in the future.

DO NOT FIGHT A PANIC ATTACK 

If you feel panic start to take 

control of your body, try to go with it 

instead of trying to fight it off. When you 

put your mind towards fighting it, you 

should be focusing on how the feelings 

will pass. Let it come at you as calmly 

as you can, and it will go away quickly. 

Remind yourself of previous panic 

experiences and that nothing disastrous 

happened. Stay as calm as possible and 

keep bad thoughts from entering your 

mind, making the attack worse.

will remind yourself that you are going to 

be fine and the panic attack will soon pass, 

which will help calm you. Panic attacks 

are horrible, and this tip is not meant to 

downplay that, though if you can adopt 

this type of thinking, you will be able to 

negate some of your panic. 

6 

KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN CONTROL 

Always be aware that it is within 

your control to know what instigates 

a panic attack. If you are upset with 

someone and are scared to talk to this 

person about it, this could result in a 

panic attack. Therefore, you should aim 

to talk to this person in a healthy way in 

order to get all of the emotions out of your 

body. As a result, you won’t feel quite so 

overwhelmed, which greatly decreases the 

chance of an attack.

WRITE ABOUT YOUR 

PANIC ATTACKS 

Write about your experiences with panic 

attacks and pass it along. You can do this 

by writing an e-book, starting a blog, or 

even speaking at engagements. Others 

who suffer from panic disorders may be 

able to give you some useful information. 

8 

LEARN TO ACCEPT 

YOUR FEELINGS 

One thing you can do to help calm your 

panic and thoughts is to simply accept the 

way you are feeling, even if it’s bad. These 

feelings will not hurt you and may benefit 

you in identifying the causes of your root 

anxiety. Accepting all of your feelings may 

open the door to healing for you. 

9 

IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF 

THE PANIC ATTACK 

Knowing why a panic attack is happening is 

key to being able to manage it successfully. 

Figure out what the issue is, and address 

it immediately. Then, explain the reason 

behind your inquiry.

tendency. When you have success in 

stopping a panic attack, write down the 

behaviors and thoughts that helped you. 

Try vigorously cleaning the house, or 

following your favorite exercise routine. If 

you focus the energy elsewhere, the panic 

attack will quickly pass you by.
