1<br />
GET ENOUGH SLEEP EVERY NIGHT<br />
You should sleep enough hours that<br />
make you feel rested. Don’t try to make up<br />
for lost sleep. Sleep until you feel rested<br />
every night. Don’t sleep a lot one night and<br />
then think you can sleep less the next.<br />
2<br />
SLEEP ON REGULAR SCHEDULE<br />
A schedule is the best way to get the<br />
sleep you need each night; make your bedtime<br />
the same time. Human beings are<br />
creatures of routine, whether they know it<br />
or not. You will feel much better overall if<br />
you stick to a schedule. If you make it a<br />
point to get some sleep at the same time<br />
each night, your body will naturally start<br />
to relax around then each night. You can<br />
sleep a lot better if you limit your bedtime<br />
hours to around eight maximum.<br />
If you are suffering from allergies, worry no more,<br />
the helpful pointers in this article will help you find<br />
relief from your most dreaded allergy symptoms.<br />

BUY A FIRM MATTRESS<br />
TO SLEEP ON<br />
If you suffer from insomnia often, look into<br />
getting a firm mattress. Often a mattress<br />
that’s too soft can offer little body support.<br />
Your body will become stressed and<br />
this will cause your insomnia to worsen.<br />
Buying a firm mattress can truly fix a lot of<br />
sleeping problems.<br />

RELEASE TENSION WITH<br />
A HOT WATER BOTTLE<br />
Adding a hot water bottle to your bed space<br />
may help you rest. The heat from the hot<br />
water bottle can help release the tension<br />
in your body. It’s a simple but effective way<br />
to drift off more quickly. Place the water<br />
bottle on top of your abdomen. Let your<br />
body absorb the heat while you practice<br />
deep breathing.<br />
5<br />
ENJOY A LITTLE MASSAGE<br />
Another option for achieving a better<br />
night’s sleep could be receiving a pleasant<br />
massage just before going to bed. It helps<br />
your body and muscles feel calm and relaxed.<br />
Trade nights with a partner so they<br />
can sleep better, too. It needn’t be a marathon<br />
massage. Most people benefit from<br />
15-minute hand, neck, or foot massages.<br />
6<br />
GET RID OF YOUR<br />
WORRIES BEFORE BEDTIME<br />
Worrying about problems the next day may<br />
bring can prevent you from sleeping at<br />
night. For instance, if you need to pay the<br />
bills, do them during the day so that your<br />
mind won’t get stressed near bedtime. Get<br />
rid of the day’s worries as much as you can.<br />
If needed, make a list of the things that you<br />
have to do before you sleep.<br />

7<br />
THE BEDROOM IS<br />
FOR SLEEPING ONLY<br />
Avoid using your bedroom for any activity<br />
besides sleeping and getting dressed. If<br />
you have a computer in your room, it may<br />
be difficult to sleep. You’ll be able to train<br />
your brain into thinking your bedroom<br />
is for sleep, if that’s the only thing you<br />
do there.<br />
8<br />
ENJOY SOME SUNLIGHT<br />
Getting some sunlight can help with<br />
sleep at night. Try enjoying your lunch outside<br />
or taking a short walk. This stimulates<br />
your glands and allows them to produce<br />
melatonin so you can fall asleep.<br />
9<br />
DO REGULAR EXERCISE<br />
You may already know that regular<br />
exercise helps you get enough sleep, but<br />
it can also actually improve the quality of<br />
your sleep, too. Working out can be a cure<br />
for insomnia, but you need to make sure<br />
you do it several hours before bed. You<br />
should not work out right before you lay<br />
down, as exercise is a stimulant. Be sure<br />
that you’re done with exercising about 3<br />
hours before bedtime so you won’t have a<br />
hard time sleeping. Morning exercise is the<br />
best idea.<br />

QUIT SMOKING<br />
Smoking is one of the worst offenders<br />
when it comes to disrupting sleep.<br />
Your heart rate goes up and your body is<br />
stimulated, too. Quitting is a must. Getting<br />
to sleep and having a better sleep quality<br />
are just extra benefits.<br />
UNDERGO THERAPY<br />
If you suffer from insomnia constantly,<br />
think about cognitive therapy.<br />
When you partake this kind of therapy,<br />
you will be able to identify your erroneous<br />
beliefs that have disturbed your sleep.<br />
It also reveals deviations from normal<br />
sleeping patterns so that counteractive<br />
strategies may be planned.<br />
It is possible to obtain a good night’s<br />
sleep. There are many alternative prescription<br />
medications to take for sleep<br />
difficulties; you can get the sleep you<br />
need with minimal negative side effects.<br />
The above tips will help you to get to<br />
sleep deeply so that you can wake up and<br />
feel refreshed.<br />

Follow Us:<br />
Sleep apnea is a very serious medical disorder that afflicts millions of people. If<br />
you suffer from the disorder, apply everything from this article.<br />
Sleep apnea is a common disorder that can have a dramatic, negative affect<br />
on a person’s life. If you suffer from sleep apnea, it is crucially important that<br />
you educate yourself on the best ways to deal with the disorder. The information<br />
contained within this article will educate you on several sleep apnea<br />
healthcare tips.<br />

1 TRY<br />
WEIGHT LOSS<br />
If you have moderate<br />
to severe sleep<br />
apnea, lose some<br />
weight. Being overweight<br />
or obese can<br />
affect your breathing<br />
severely and can<br />
cause many health<br />
problems, including<br />
sleep apnea. Those<br />
individuals who<br />
lost at least twenty<br />
to twenty-five excess<br />
pounds saw a<br />
marked improvement<br />
in respiratory<br />
issues related to<br />
sleep apnea.<br />
2<br />
GIVE A MOUTH<br />
GUARD A TRY<br />
Consider using a<br />
mouth guard when<br />
you sleep. If your jaw<br />
is improperly aligned,<br />
this could lead to issues<br />
with sleep apnea.<br />
The alignment<br />
of your jaw has a lot<br />
to do with whether<br />
or not you are getting<br />
sufficient airflow.<br />
Being fitted for<br />
a mouth guard can<br />
help you breathe<br />
while it’s correcting<br />
the problem.<br />
There are options when<br />
you’re dealing with<br />
something like eczema.<br />
The key is to take your<br />
time to put the advice<br />
given here to<br />
good use.<br />

USE A CPAP MACHINE<br />
If you have to use a Continuous<br />
Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine,<br />
you may find it hard to get used<br />
to at first. It is important that you do not<br />
quit using the machine, though. Focus on<br />
the benefits of the machine rather than<br />
the inconvenience. It will make life safer<br />
for yourself and others. Daytime sleepiness<br />
caused by sleep apnea is a major<br />
risk factor for car accidents, for instance.<br />
If you use a CPAP machine, make sure the<br />
mask fits well. Most people who quit using<br />
their CPAP machine usually say it is because<br />
the machine is uncomfortable. There<br />
are a number of different masks available,<br />
so you are not forced to use one that<br />
causes discomfort. Try out many different<br />
styles to find the right one.<br />
4<br />
ADJUST YOUR CPAP MACHINE<br />
Most machines come with default<br />
settings that might not correspond to your<br />
needs. You should be able to regulate the<br />
airflow: try different settings and choose<br />
one that seems to work for you. If you<br />
feel like your machine is not working like<br />
it should, try changing the settings again.<br />
If you are using a CPAP and experience<br />
an issue with your mouth opening during<br />
sleep, a chin strap can help. It is a simple<br />
cloth strap that can easily hold up your<br />
chin as you sleep. CPAP machines do not<br />
function with open mouths, so a chin strap<br />
can really save you.<br />
18 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
5<br />
AVOID DRINKING ALCOHOL<br />
If you have been diagnosed with<br />
sleep apnea, it is important to avoid<br />
drinking alcohol. Alcoholic beverages<br />
will relax the muscles in your throat,<br />
which makes it more likely that they will<br />
block your airway during your sleep. At<br />
the very least, avoid any alcoholic beverages<br />
in the evening before you get ready<br />
for bed.<br />
6<br />
PROP UP YOUR<br />
HEAD AND BODY<br />
An excellent way to reduce the symptoms<br />
of sleep apnea is to prop up your head and<br />
body. If you can get your head at least 4<br />
inches off of the mattress or elevate your<br />
torso from the waist up, you will reduce<br />
your symptoms. Try using a foam wedge<br />
or cervical pillow when sleeping to do this.<br />
7<br />
TAKE YOUR OWN PILLOW<br />
FOR A SLEEP STUDY<br />
If you have sleep apnea, and you have to<br />
have a sleep study, considering taking your<br />
pillow from home with you. It can be very<br />
difficult to sleep in the sleep lab. You are in<br />
an unfamiliar place in a strange bed. You<br />
have lots of wires, and electrodes attached<br />
to you. Having your own pillow can help to<br />
relax you and make it easier to fall asleep.<br />
very serious and all too common medical<br />
disorder that afflicts many millions of people<br />
throughout the world. If you yourself<br />
suffer from the disorder, apply everything<br />
that you have learned from this article to<br />
your life and ensure that you are doing everything<br />
you can to protect your health.<br />
As was discussed earlier, sleep apnea is a<br />

Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

1<br />
DON’T EAT TOO MUCH BEFOREHAND<br />
Do not eat too much before you head into your appointment. While you should<br />
not go in on an empty stomach, because you could experience nausea if you do, stuffing<br />
yourself will only make you feel bad. Instead, plan to have a snack about an hour or two<br />
before your appointment time.<br />
Better health over the long-term depends on improving<br />
your lifestyle with new, better habits and<br />
activities like the ones suggested here. Read on!<br />
<br />

2<br />
STAY AWAY FROM COFFEE<br />
PRIOR TO A SESSION<br />
Avoid having coffee before your treatment.<br />
You should abstain for about two hours<br />
before an appointment. This restriction is<br />
due to the fact that coffee is a stimulant<br />
which works in direct opposition to the<br />
goals of your acupuncture session. Coffee<br />
also makes the acupuncturist’s job more<br />
difficult because it is harder to get accurate<br />
heart rate readings.<br />
3<br />
UNITED STATES<br />
ACUPUNCTURE EXPERIENCE<br />
Do not let an acupuncturist convince you<br />
they are experienced because they practiced<br />
in another country. Keep in mind that<br />
practicing acupuncture in China or in another<br />
country is very different from what<br />
doctors are allowed to do in the U.S. Ask<br />
your acupuncturist about their education<br />
and experience in the U.S.<br />
24 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
4<br />
AVOID ALCOHOL BEFORE A SESSION<br />
Stay away from an alcoholic beverage prior to a session. Acupuncture is supposed<br />
to help you clear your thoughts and gain clarity. Alcohol will cause disruption, which is<br />
not what you want. When you are suffering from a hangover before an appointment, try<br />
rescheduling for a later date when the full effect will be noticeable.<br />
5<br />
SEE IT THROUGH<br />
Finish your full course of acupuncture<br />
treatments. You wouldn’t stop antibiotics<br />
half-way through, right? You may feel<br />
better by the end of your session; however,<br />
the results may not be complete. Don’t<br />
judge the outcome until you have completed<br />
every bit of treatment.<br />
6<br />
FOCUS ON THE BIG PICTURE<br />
Do not focus on how long the treatment<br />
will take, as this can keep you from<br />
focusing on the big picture, which is to get<br />
well. The acupuncturist likely cannot give<br />
you an answer to that immediately anyway,<br />
as it depends partly on what you are<br />
willing to do at home to help yourself.<br />
Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

7<br />
TRY TO GET INSURANCE<br />
COVERAGE FOR ACUPUNCTURE<br />
Acupuncture is recognized as an effective<br />
treatment for a lot of different ailments<br />
and diseases by the medical world.<br />
If you consider having this type of treatment,<br />
you might want to check with<br />
your insurance company first. Many insurance<br />
companies will actually cover<br />
the cost of acupuncture treatments.<br />
If acupuncture benefits are not a part of<br />
your insurance plan, start by writing the<br />
company a letter. It is possible that the<br />
company will consider amending their<br />
plan. For maximum effect, send a copy of<br />
the letter to your HR representative. Your<br />
employer may have a part in determining<br />
which benefits are included on your plan.<br />
8<br />
GIVE YOUR DOCTOR FEEDBACK<br />
If you really don’t like a certain practice in the session, politely request not to have<br />
it done again. Your doctor will be able to use an alternative technique. They may heat up<br />
the needles while they’re in your skin so that the body is stimulated by the heat. If you<br />
find it uncomfortable, tell the practitioner.<br />
26 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
9<br />
ASK TO SEE<br />
THE NEEDLES<br />
All acupuncture needles<br />
should be labeled for single<br />
use only. Make sure this<br />
is the case in your acupuncturists<br />
office. Ask to see<br />
the needles, and make sure<br />
they are bagged appropriately<br />
and labeled for single<br />
use. If this is not the case,<br />
you could risk exposure to<br />
dangerous diseases.<br />
YOU SHOULD<br />
FEEL NO PAIN<br />
Acupuncture rarely is painful in any way. The needles used<br />
in acupuncture are very thin. You can barely see them with<br />
the naked eye. Because of their small size, they often do<br />
not hit nerve endings and you will feel no pain. Even when<br />
they do hit a nerve, they are so small you barely feel it.<br />
Expect to see some small red dots and even some minor<br />
bruising on your skin. After an acupuncture treatment,<br />
this is perfectly normal. You needn’t feel upset or<br />
alarmed. Eventually, these will disappear, and for this<br />
small sacrifice, your body is going to feel a lot better.<br />
Now that you’ve read the helpful information contained in<br />
this article, you are much better equipped to make an informed<br />
decision on whether acupuncture is suitable for<br />
your needs. Make sure that you remember the benefits<br />
that have been described to you. It really is a unique and<br />
interesting procedure.<br />

9 TIPS TO HELP YOU WIN YOUR<br />

end you’ll feel better about<br />

1<br />
AVOID STRESS<br />
Keep away from stress<br />
when you have eczema. Stress can<br />
cause an eczema flare-up. If stress<br />
is getting to you, see if meditation<br />
or workouts will help. Perhaps<br />
you can keep your eczema flareup<br />
from being too severe.<br />
2<br />
CONTROL YOUR<br />
BODY TEMPERATURE<br />
Your body temperature could have an impact<br />
on your eczema. Being too hot could<br />
cause you to sweat, which makes the skin<br />
irritated and itchy. In the winter time,<br />
the humidity inside is quite low, which<br />
could cause the skin to dry out and become<br />
itchy. Keep these things in mind as<br />
to what could make your eczema flare up.<br />
Avoid becoming overheated. Excess sweat<br />
can trigger eczema flare-ups. If you do<br />
work out, take a shower afterwards. In fact,<br />
shower after any bout of strenuous activity,<br />
which could include things like gardening<br />
or heavy housework. Keeping your skin<br />
clean will help to keep you comfortable<br />
and your eczema flare-ups at bay.<br />

STICK TO OINTMENTS<br />
Lotions and creams do not usually work as well as ointments. Ointments have a bit<br />
more oil in them, which generally helps them moisturize more effectively. They are a little<br />
harder to apply than creams, however, but they are much better at adding a protective<br />
layer to the skin and easing your symptoms.<br />
4<br />
PROTECT YOUR SKIN<br />
DURING WINTER<br />
Winter weather can cause eczema to worsen.<br />
Anytime your skin is exposed to frigid<br />
air, it needs a protective barrier to protect<br />
it from moisture loss. On any skin areas,<br />
such as the face or neck, be sure to<br />
heavily apply a moisturizer. Moisturizers<br />
will help you avoid dry and cracking skin<br />
because it locks in your skin’s natural oils.<br />
If you live in an area that experiences<br />
cold weather in the winter, buy a humidifier<br />
to help decrease eczema flare-ups.<br />
During the cold winter months, we close<br />
all of our windows and turn on the furnace.<br />
This can make the air inside the<br />
house very dry, which makes the itching<br />
and dry skin associated with eczema<br />
even worse. To replace moisture in<br />
your internal environment, use a humidifier.<br />
This added moisture will keep your<br />
skin from becoming dry, cracked, itchy<br />
and irritated.<br />
Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

5 MOISTURIZE!<br />
Eczema typically<br />
causes skin to become dry<br />
and itchy. To reduce these<br />
symptoms, you need to apply<br />
moisturizers. Though<br />
it may sound odd, moisturizers<br />
do not actually<br />
add hydration to skin.<br />
A good moisturizer that is<br />
applied on a regular basis<br />
will lock in moisture<br />
and natural body oils. This<br />
will reduce the amount<br />
of dryness that you have.<br />
Moisturize immediately following<br />
bathing. This is the<br />
best time to do it because<br />
your skin is still damp.<br />
Make sure to only pat dry<br />
your skin between showering<br />
and moisturizing. You<br />
don’t want to remove any<br />
moisture that your skin has<br />
already absorbed; that is<br />
counterproductive to treating<br />
your eczema.<br />

TREAT BABY<br />
ECZEMA WITH<br />
DAILY BATHS<br />
If your baby has eczema,<br />
bathe him or her every day.<br />
This will help to keep the<br />
skin moisturized and free<br />
from infection. Besides hydrating<br />
your baby’s skin to<br />
help keep flare-ups at bay,<br />
baths can be fun for babies,<br />
and you can use them<br />
as an opportunity to further<br />
bond with yours.<br />

KNOW YOUR<br />
ENVIRONMENTAL<br />
TRIGGERS<br />
Some eczema is caused by environmental<br />
triggers. Dust mites<br />
can actually lead to eczema breakouts.<br />
For other people, soaps<br />
that have scents are to blame.<br />
Regardless of what affects you, it<br />
is important to pinpoint the cause<br />
so you can stay away from that<br />
product or situation. You may<br />
need to make some small changes,<br />
but the relief you find as a result<br />
will be worth it.<br />
8<br />
DO NOT SCRATCH<br />
Should your eczema start<br />
to bother you, do not scratch, no<br />
matter how tempted you are to<br />
do so. Scratching not only makes<br />
itching worse, but it can actually<br />
irritate your skin and even cause<br />
infection. Try to find other ways<br />
to deal with the itching; apply<br />
cold compresses to the affected<br />
area or use medications.<br />
9<br />
PERFORM A PATCH TEST<br />
Always preform a patch<br />
test. When you are trying a<br />
new product, it is important to<br />
know whether or not it will irritate<br />
your skin before putting<br />
it all over yourself. Take a small<br />
amount of the product and apply<br />
it to a small portion of your skin.<br />
After a few hours, you should<br />
be able to determine whether<br />
or not it triggers your eczema.<br />
Now you’re able to see that there<br />
are options when you’re dealing<br />
with something like eczema. The<br />
key is to take your time to put<br />
the advice you were given here to<br />
good use. It will be easier as time<br />
goes on, so don’t delay and work<br />
on this as soon as possible.<br />

ADVANTAGES OF<br />
CHIROPRACTIC CARE<br />
There are many positives that can result<br />
from seeing a chiropractor. If you have<br />
back or neck pain, see a chiropractor. In<br />
addition, getting treated by a chiropractor<br />
routinely can prevent misalignment problems.<br />
Proper alignment of your back and<br />
spine is part of your whole body’s health.<br />
Are you aware of the fact that you can<br />
boost the body’s immunity with chiropractic<br />
care? If your spine is misaligned, your<br />
nervous system and immune system are<br />
compromised. By having a chiropractor<br />
align your spine, you can get more blood<br />
flow into your body’s nervous system. This<br />
blood will help you battle infections.<br />
Living with panic attacks actually takes a great deal<br />
of strength. Learn how to prevent your panic attacks<br />

2 FINDING A<br />
QUALIFIED CHIROPRACTOR<br />
You can easily find qualified chiropractic<br />
care nearly anywhere in the country.<br />
Chiropractic treatment represents the<br />
second largest health care profession. It<br />
is growing fast, too. There are more than<br />
60,000 practicing chiropractors in the US.<br />
10,000 chiropractic students are studying<br />
to be professionals.<br />
You can find a qualified chiropractor fairly<br />
easy in today’s market. There are many<br />
persons throughout the country and world<br />
seeking chiropractic care each day. It’s<br />
good to know that chiropractors that are<br />
qualified go through a lot of training and<br />
are certified to do what they do. They must<br />
take a four-year undergraduate program<br />
and have comprehensive knowledge of human<br />
anatomy. Always review the training<br />
and certifications acquired by any chiropractor<br />
before you begin their treatment.<br />

3<br />
GET REFERRALS<br />
FROM YOUR DOCTOR<br />
Should you be looking for good chiropractic<br />
care, speak with your physician about a referral<br />
or suggestion. Even if you don’t need a<br />
referral, it is always a good idea to get their<br />
professional opinion. It is possible that your<br />
doctor will suggest some other option.<br />
4<br />
AVOID CHIROPRACTORS<br />
THAT SELL STUFFS<br />
Stay away from any chiropractors wanting to<br />
place you on a course of homeopathic supplements,<br />
dietary products or herbal supplements<br />
to treat diseases. When they are<br />
selling this stuff out of their office, they are<br />
probably not the best chiropractor. Turn to<br />
a medical doctor to get that type of advice.<br />
5<br />
CHECK ON DISCOUNTS<br />
Ask the chiropractic office to see if<br />
they offer discounts for multiple visits.<br />
Chiropractic care often means many visits<br />
over time. It could be a couple appointments<br />
a week for a few months; the costs<br />
could rise. The doctor’s office may have<br />
some sort of discount for multiple visits to<br />
make treatment much more affordable.<br />
6<br />
DO NOT LET A CHIROPRACTOR<br />
SNAP YOUR NECK<br />
This can kink two well-known arteries in<br />
your neck if something goes wrong. This is<br />
usually not problematic, but a chiropractor<br />
can accidentally tear the lining of the arteries<br />
when not careful. This can result in<br />
clots forming that can lead to stroke.<br />
Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

7<br />
AVOID STRAINING YOUR BACK<br />
If you study for a long time, it can strain the back. When doing this, you want to occasionally<br />
keep a foot on a nearby stool. This helps reduce lower back strain. If this isn’t<br />
possible, then make sure you are shifting your body weight every now and then.<br />
8<br />
SLEEP IN A PROPER POSITION<br />
If you are dealing with back related problems, make sure that the position of<br />
your body when you sleep is not causing further issues. You can use a cervical pillow<br />
for neck support when you’re sleeping. This technique allows you to maintain posture<br />
while you sleep.<br />
42 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
9<br />
GET OUT OF BED THE RIGHT WAY<br />
Rise from bed the right way every<br />
morning. Do this by stretching and<br />
rising up slowly before you fully get up.<br />
Next, swing the legs over to the floor<br />
by supporting yourself with your arms.<br />
Getting out of bed the right way helps<br />
reduce spine injuries.<br />
EMPTY YOUR BACK POCKETS<br />
Do not carry a wallet inside your<br />
back pocket. Most men stick their wallet<br />
in the back pocket without realizing<br />
that it can impact your lower back. The<br />
misalignment this habit can cause affects<br />
the lower back and can also affect the<br />
bladder and the colon. Get it moved to your<br />
front pockets to take the pressure away.<br />
Now that you’re finished with this article,<br />
you now know a few things about chiropractics.<br />
You now know what kind of<br />
benefits you can expect from this kind of<br />
service. You should also be aware of when<br />
you need to use it. Make sure that you<br />
schedule appointments when you need to.<br />
Realize that you do not have to live a life<br />
that is full of ongoing pain.<br />

for you.<br />

1<br />
TRY ZUMBA<br />
If you are looking<br />
to get physically fit, try a<br />
Zumba class. Zumba is a<br />
very popular new class offered<br />
in most gyms across<br />
the country. It incorporates<br />
Latin dance with aerobic<br />
moves. Even non-dancers<br />
enjoy the movements<br />
and everyone who tries<br />
it, comes out of the class<br />
burning hundreds, if not<br />
thousands, of calories.<br />
2<br />
GET ADEQUATE<br />
SLEEP<br />
To have a healthy body, it<br />
is important to have a good<br />
amount of sleep. The body<br />
needs to sleep to rejuvenate,<br />
this should not be<br />
taken for granted. Sleeping<br />
for eight hours maintains<br />
the body’s healthy immune<br />
system, helps the individual<br />
manage stress better.<br />
So be sure to get a good<br />
amount of sleep daily.<br />
48 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
3<br />
DO TEN TO TWELVE REPS<br />
A great way to get fit is to perform<br />
reps in the ten to twelve range when you<br />
are lifting weights. You might not be able<br />
to lift as much weight, but your muscles<br />
will become more toned. The amount<br />
of reps you do is very important in<br />
getting fit.<br />
4<br />
PAY UP FRONT FOR YOUR GYM<br />
Pay up front for the gym and your<br />
trainer! Sometimes money is the best commitment<br />
we can make that will insure we<br />
will exercise regularly. If we have already<br />
paid the fees for the gym and for our trainer<br />
we will be much more likely to take advantage<br />
of the services we’ve paid for!<br />
5<br />
ADJUST YOUR POSTURE<br />
If you are going to be running uphill,<br />
your posture greatly effects how well you<br />
can do it. You should always try to keep<br />
your head up and be looking at the top of<br />
the hill whenever you run uphill. Using this<br />
posture, it will make it easier to breathe. It<br />
becomes harder to breathe when you are<br />
hunched forward.<br />
Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
49
6 RUN!<br />
Running is the one of the best ways<br />
to get fit. While running, there is a simple<br />
formula you should follow regarding the<br />
speed and pace of your run. You should<br />
start out slowly, then in the middle you<br />
should increase speed, then at the end run<br />
as fast as you can.<br />
7<br />
TAPE JAMMED FINGERS<br />
While playing any sport like basketball<br />
or baseball, you will notice that there<br />
is sometimes one or two fingers that will<br />
constantly get jammed. When this happens,<br />
you should tape the jammed finger<br />
to a neighboring finger and this will help<br />
reduce dislocation.<br />
8<br />
FOLLOW YOUR<br />
WORKOUT ROUTINE<br />
Add your workout to your daily schedule,<br />
and follow it. Many people say that<br />
they do not have the time to exercise,<br />
but if you add it to your calendar and try<br />
it out, you will probably find that you still<br />
accomplished everything else you had<br />
to do. Lose the excuse, and get to work!<br />
Make exercise your morning habit. Set your<br />
alarm for a little bit earlier each morning,<br />
and try to perform some sort of physical<br />
exercise in that time frame. Eventually,<br />
your body will realize that this is when you<br />
wake up, this is what you will do, and it will<br />
grow to enjoy it.<br />
9<br />
DON’T LET INJURIES STOP YOU<br />
If you find yourself with an injury<br />
on one side of your body, continue to<br />
work out with the other to see benefits for<br />
both. Your body will send muscle building<br />
supplies to both sides, even if only one is<br />
working. You will see less of a build on the<br />
injured side, but a gain is a gain!<br />
50 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
USE WEIGHT BELTS CORRECTLY<br />
Only use weight belts for large muscle<br />
lift workouts. In these special cases,<br />
weight belts can actually help you to perform<br />
better, by helping to properly distribute<br />
weight and give you the center<br />
of balance that you need to be stronger.<br />
Weight belts can help reduce injury when<br />
weight lifting, because of the assistance<br />
they provide with balance.<br />
BREATHE WITH<br />
PROPER TECHNIQUE<br />
Train yourself to breathe correctly. Lay<br />
flat on your back and put something flat<br />
and heavy on your stomach, like a book.<br />
Practice making the book rise with each<br />
breath, until it becomes totally natural for<br />
you. Learning this simple technique will<br />
help you perform better in any physical<br />
task presented.<br />
Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
51
IMPROVE YOUR<br />
JUMPING ABILITY<br />
Increase your ability to<br />
jump. Stand at the bottom<br />
of a set of stairs, and jump<br />
back and forth from the<br />
bottom step to the floor.<br />
Continue this until you feel<br />
comfortable jumping at<br />
that height. Once you are,<br />
move to something higher.<br />
Always make sure what<br />
you are jumping on is stable<br />
and secure.<br />
WORKOUT<br />
FOR RECOVERY<br />
To recover faster from<br />
heavy exercise, do a light<br />
work out the next day, that<br />
covers the same muscle<br />
group. On this second day,<br />
concentrate on very low<br />
weights, which are about<br />
twenty percent of your lifting<br />
capacity and two quick<br />
sets of twenty-five repetitions.<br />
Your muscles will<br />
heal faster because they<br />
will receive more blood<br />
and nutrients flowing<br />
through them.<br />
All in all, you should be<br />
able to achieve the level<br />
of fitness you want by using<br />
these tips. You can also<br />
utilize this advice in order<br />
to reach higher levels<br />
of fitness that you never<br />
thought you could achieve.<br />
Better health over the longterm<br />
depends on improving<br />
your lifestyle with new, better<br />
habits and activities like<br />
the ones suggested here.<br />

8 USEFUL POINTERS ON ENHANCING YOUR<br />
by<br />
Tess Kimble<br />
Follow Us:<br />
One especially scary aspect of aging<br />
is memory loss. Read this article for<br />
useful tips that will help you enhance<br />
your memory and prevent memory loss.<br />
What would our personal relationships<br />
be like without the<br />
ability to remember? Suffering<br />
from memory loss is not a necessary<br />
evil. The tips provided<br />
below will help you learn how to keep your<br />
memory strong and improve the way your<br />
brain functions.<br />
56 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
1<br />
KEEP NOTES<br />
If you’re looking for a way to remember<br />
things, writing them down is easy and<br />
effective. This task increases blood flow to<br />
parts of the brain that handle memory, and<br />
it gives it a little workout. Maintaining written<br />
records of key information is a great<br />
way to strengthen your power of recall.<br />
Write sticky notes to help yourself remember<br />
to complete tasks. The notes can then<br />
be placed with your designated spot for<br />
your keys, phone or computer. These notes<br />
can help you remember important things.<br />
2<br />
REFRESH YOUR<br />
ENVIRONMENT<br />
If you need to retain a great deal of information,<br />
you may find it useful to regularly<br />
switch up your study locations. You don’t<br />
want to limit yourself to associating certain<br />
information with certain areas. Instead,<br />
you want to keep your brain fresh. You will<br />
make the information something you will<br />
remember forever if you make a conscious<br />
effort to study in a variety of places.<br />
Use these tips to de-mystify losing weight. The<br />
simplest ways to lose weight are often the<br />

When faced with a major study session,<br />
you can help retention of information by<br />
studying in a new location. Changing surroundings<br />
reinvigorates the mind, and<br />
causes long-term memory to be more efficacious.<br />
Your brain will be more alert and<br />
more receptive to the information when it<br />
is stimulated by a routine change.<br />
Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
57
3<br />
THINK POSITIVE<br />
Try and rid your mind of any excess<br />
baggage, particularly that involving negative<br />
thoughts, to improve your memory.<br />
Studies show that people who are stressed<br />
or who have negative thoughts suffer more<br />
from memory loss than other people. Your<br />
doctor may be able to recommend relaxation<br />
techniques to improve your stress<br />
levels and outlook.<br />
4<br />
PACK ON BRAIN FOODS<br />
Eat the right foods for the health of your brain and it will reward you with a sharp<br />
and versatile memory. Healthy fats contribute significantly to your brain’s health. These<br />
good fats are found in things like fish, certain nuts, as well as olive oil and flax seed oil.<br />
Find ways to incorporate fish oil into your regular diet. If you find your memory is not what<br />
it used to be, you may not be getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. These fatty<br />
acids are available in prescription form or over-the-counter. Most are in capsule form.<br />
58 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
5<br />
VISUALIZE THE INFORMATION<br />
A strategy that can boost your memory<br />
is to visualize concepts of what you’re<br />
trying to remember so that you can memorize<br />
it and recall it. Professional educators<br />
are well aware of that fact. Consider,<br />
for example, the frequent inclusion of illustrations<br />
and charts in textbooks. These<br />
are included to help the student visualize<br />
the information being presented.<br />
If graphs, images or charts are absent,<br />
create your own.<br />
6<br />
NEVER STOP<br />
LEARNING<br />
It’s vital that you keep learning<br />
on a daily basis long after<br />
you’ve left school. If you<br />
do not acquire new knowledge,<br />
the memory-storing<br />
part of your brain isn’t stimulated.<br />
Unless you keep<br />
your mind sharp, you may<br />
find it more difficult to recall<br />
information when you<br />
need it.<br />
Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

7<br />
MAKE ASSOCIATION FOR NAMES<br />
If you struggle to remember names when meeting new people, try<br />
doing mental association with someone who has the same name. You<br />
can also make the mental association with someone famous. This link<br />
will help to bring up the identity of the new person when it is needed.<br />
8<br />
OUTLINE THE INFORMATION<br />
FOR EASY RECALL<br />
Making an outline of the materials<br />
you are trying to learn is a great way<br />
to boost your retention when you are<br />
studying. The exercise of analyzing and<br />
categorizing the information should<br />
help to secure it in your memory. The<br />
form and length of the outline is up<br />
to you, as long as you include the key<br />
information that you want to remember.<br />
You may get a chuckle over thinking about<br />
the potential of forgetting an anniversary<br />
or birthday, but when it happens to you<br />
in real life, it is not too funny anymore.<br />
This could be the beginning of memory<br />
loss. Use the advice provided here to<br />
protect your vital memories.<br />

1 VITAMIN C<br />
Vitamin C is a substance<br />
that is is extremely<br />
important if you are trying<br />
to prevent hair loss.<br />
Vitamin C plays a major<br />
role in the production of<br />
collagen, a vital ingredient<br />
to keeping hair healthy<br />
and alive. You can increase<br />
your intake of vitamin<br />
C by consuming citrus<br />
fruits or candy drops with<br />
vitamin C.<br />

can to reduce the stress<br />
in your life. Stress can<br />
cause and also exacerbate<br />
hair loss. It is<br />
important to practice<br />
taking deep breaths<br />
to help yourself calm<br />
down and to find relaxing<br />

REMOVE PRODUCTS BEFORE BED<br />
If you are going to use hair styling<br />
products on your hair, make sure to take<br />
it all out of your hair at nighttime to prevent<br />
hair loss. Keeping these products in<br />
all night allow the chemicals to sink further<br />
into your scalp, which can make your hair<br />
fall out.<br />
4<br />
FIND THE RIGHT SHAMPOO<br />
Find a medicated shampoo or hair<br />
treatment that works for you. There are<br />
several top products on the market. That<br />
doesn’t mean, however, that these products<br />
are going to work for you. It may take a<br />
specialist consultation or a bit of research<br />
or experimentation, but you should find<br />
something that gives you results more so<br />
than everyone else. Everyone is different.<br />
No matter how you lost your hair or what<br />
type of product you’re using to boost its regrowth,<br />
you need to remain positive here<br />
and make sure that you follow all manufacturers’<br />
recommendations to the letter.<br />
Don’t put your eggs all in one basket, but<br />
don’t lose your faith either.<br />
66 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
5<br />
INCREASE BIOTIN INTAKE<br />
You may want to increase your<br />
Biotin intake if you want to both treat and<br />
prevent hair loss. This vitamin helps promote<br />
more Keratin, the natural vitamin<br />
found in your hair. This vitamin helps to<br />
keep hair healthy and prevent it from falling<br />
out. Biotin is found in rice, milk, liver,<br />
and barley.<br />
6<br />
TAKE VITAMIN E<br />
Take Vitamin E supplements if you<br />
are suffering from hair loss. Vitamin E promotes<br />
healthy blood circulation, which,<br />
in turn, promotes healthy hair growth. It<br />
will also have the added benefit of keeping<br />
your skin healthy and youthful looking.<br />
7<br />
STIMULATE YOUR SCALP<br />
You need to stimulate the circulation<br />
in your scalp every morning if you’re<br />
hoping to re-grow hair. This doesn’t have<br />
to be a full-on massage. You only need to<br />
run your fingertips across your scalp in a<br />
circular motion for at least three minutes.<br />
This will get the blood flowing and stimulate<br />
hair growth.<br />
Massage your scalp with your fingertips every<br />
night before bed. This massage will increase<br />
the blood flow to your scalp, which<br />
helps provide nutrients to your follicles. If<br />
you massage your scalp for five to ten minutes<br />
every day, you may notice an increase<br />
in the quality of your hair.<br />
Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

8<br />
CASTOR OIL AND ALMOND OIL<br />
A castor oil and almond oil mixture<br />
can help stop hair loss and make new hair<br />
grow in healthier. These natural ingredients<br />
work by making hair follicles stronger<br />
so that they will stay on your scalp.<br />
To properly use this method, just mix the<br />
two oils together and rub it into your scalp<br />
once a week.<br />
9<br />
USE HAIR TREATMENTS<br />
WITH CAUTION<br />
To prevent thinning hair, treat your hair<br />
gently. People who treat their hair with<br />
chemicals frequently over a long period of<br />
time, such as with coloring, perming and<br />
straightening, can cause damage to their<br />
hair that makes it more likely to break,<br />
which makes it thinner. If you do use harsh<br />
treatments on your hair, try to spread them<br />
out over time to minimize the damage.<br />
68 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
LOOK FOR<br />
SKIN SHEDDING<br />
To better understand the<br />
possible causes of hair<br />
loss, check whether it’s accompanied<br />
by skin shedding.<br />
If you’re experiencing<br />

the same time as hair loss,<br />
your hair loss may be related<br />
to a skin problem. In<br />
these cases, you should be<br />
able to cure the hair loss by<br />
curing the skin problem.<br />
CONSUME<br />
MORE PROTEIN<br />
Eat protein. Protein adds<br />
an excellent boost to your<br />
diet and helps the way your<br />
hair will look and grow. It<br />
strengthens hair and prevents<br />
it from falling out.<br />
Eat things like fish, meat<br />
and nuts for protein. You<br />
can also use a protein supplement<br />
in your drinks<br />
every day.<br />
TRY USING HONEY<br />
Honey can be a great<br />
natural substance to use on<br />
your scalp to stimulate hair<br />
growth. You do not want to<br />
use a lot of it though. Sugar<br />
can actually cause more of<br />
your hair to fall out. But the<br />
other ingredients in honey<br />
will act as a stimulant<br />
for your scalp. Rub some<br />
in, leave it in for an hour,<br />
and then rinse it out in<br />

TRY NEW ANTIHISTAMINES AT HOME<br />
To be safe, test new antihistamines while at home. It’s best to use them at<br />
home first because a lot of them are filled with ingredients which cause drowsiness.<br />
Even if no harsh warnings are listed on the product packaging, take the first<br />
few doses at a time when you can just lounge on the sofa and don’t have to get<br />
behind the wheel.<br />

SHOWER BEFORE<br />
GOING TO BED<br />
Wash allergens off with a<br />
shower before bedtime.<br />
Pollen, dust, and mold<br />
spores can sit on your hair<br />
as well as on top of your<br />
skin, which can encourage<br />
allergies in your sleep. As<br />
long as you have a quick<br />
wash, you will have few<br />
problems with allergies.
3<br />
BE CAUTIOUS OF<br />
ALLERGY SYMPTOMS<br />
Sometimes, people are more apt to suffer<br />
from allergies as they age. Babies are often<br />
fed certain types of foods that do not trouble<br />
them with allergies, which can result in<br />
other types of allergies later on. As infants<br />
grow into children, their exposure to protein<br />
allergens increases and they might develop<br />
an allergy to pollen. If your son or daughter<br />
appears to show signs of pollen or spore allergies,<br />
be sure not to disregard the possibility<br />
of an allergic reaction just because there<br />
were no previous signs of a problem.<br />
4<br />
PROTECT YOURSELF<br />
FROM OLIVE TREES<br />
Olive trees are beautiful and add design<br />
elements to your landscape. They are especially<br />
popular in Western states. These<br />
trees produce a lot of pollen. Once you<br />
know what this tree is and looks like, you<br />
can better protect yourself from allergies.<br />
A lot of people find that using water hoses<br />
on trees with a lot of pollen can help tame<br />
the pollen.<br />
5<br />
NEVER SETTLE ON<br />
ONE ALLERGY PRODUCT<br />
If one allergy product does produce the desired<br />
effect, it’s not yet time to throw in the<br />
towel. There are many allergy medications<br />
out there, and different ones work better<br />
with different issues. Some incarnations of<br />
allergy medications include prescriptions<br />
drugs such as leukotriene blockers and<br />
steroids. Over the counter choices include<br />
tablets, eye drops and nasal sprays.<br />
6<br />
FIND NATURAL REMEDIES<br />
FOR YOUR TRIGGERS<br />
There are lots of natural remedies people<br />
can take to help them cope with their<br />
allergies. You will find that a lot of common<br />
allergy triggers have effective natural<br />
remedies associated with them that<br />
you can try. They will reduce a sneezing,<br />
runny nose, and itching and swelling in a<br />
natural way.<br />

PACK FOODS<br />
WHEN YOU TRAVEL<br />
If your child has food allergies,<br />
pack safe foods when<br />
traveling. It can sometimes<br />
be hard to know the contents<br />
of particular types of<br />
foods. Not knowing all the<br />
ingredients of some foods<br />
you eat while you travel can<br />
amplify the risk of allergic<br />
reactions to food allergens<br />
such as soy and nuts, as<br />
well as many others.<br />
8<br />
USE SALINE<br />
SPRAY INSTEAD<br />
OF HUMIDIFIERS<br />
Many allergy sufferers may<br />
have been advised to put a<br />
humidifier in their rooms<br />
so that their airways can<br />
be moistened. This might<br />
not be something that you<br />
want to do because the humidifier’s<br />
mist lands on the<br />
carpet and can allow mold<br />
to grow. Instead of that,<br />
try spraying a saline spray<br />
every night before you<br />
go to sleep to keep nasal<br />
passages moist.<br />
9<br />
AVOID HAIR STYLING<br />
PRODUCTS<br />
If possible, avoid using styling<br />
products on your hair during<br />
allergy season. When you go<br />
outside during allergy season,<br />
many allergens will become<br />
embedded in your hair. Hair<br />
products can cause your hair to<br />
collect allergens.<br />
76 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
OPT OUT OF USING<br />
CARPETING AND RUGS<br />
Avoid carpeting or using rugs whenever<br />
and wherever possible. Dust and pollen<br />
tend to settle on carpets and rugs. If<br />
you have to have rugs in your home, make<br />
sure that you buy washable rugs and remember<br />
to wash them every couple of<br />
weeks to remove allergens.<br />
AVOID LATEX PRODUCTS<br />
IF YOU’RE ALLERGIC<br />
If you’re allergic to latex, be sure to avoid<br />
products containing it. You may not realize<br />
it, but you must steer clear of condoms,<br />
some clothing, and latex gloves,<br />
among other things. There are alternatives<br />
to many of these items, so ask a<br />
pharmacist for advice on where to find<br />
them. Also, be sure to read labels for latex<br />
warnings that will give you a heads-up.<br />
Once you have control of your allergy<br />
symptoms, you can have an enjoyable<br />
life! You don’t have to suffer with<br />
itchy eyes and a runny nose throughout<br />
all the great moments of your life! Take<br />
the necessary steps to combat your allergy<br />
symptoms so you can finally get the<br />
much needed break that you need.<br />

MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE<br />
Keeping your weight down, eating<br />
a healthy diet and getting enough exercise<br />
can not only make you feel great every<br />
day, but can also reduce your risk of<br />
cancer. Include bountiful servings of both<br />
fruits and vegetables in your diet, stay<br />
thoroughly hydrated, and workout a daily<br />
half hour to ward off cancer and enhance<br />
your general life and well-being.<br />
If you are active, your chance of being diagnosed<br />
with colon cancer goes down by<br />
about 40%. Physical exercise can contribute<br />
towards a healthier body and can also<br />
decrease the risk of the types of cancer<br />
that are caused by a person being overweight.<br />
Always strive to maintain physical<br />
activity within your life.<br />

PROTECT YOURSELF<br />
FROM THE HARMFUL SUN<br />
Melanoma, or skin cancer, is one very<br />
common and deadly form of cancer.<br />
Always cover your body and face in sunscreen.<br />
Wear a large brimmed hat to protect<br />
the skin on your scalp and face and<br />
wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.<br />

BREAK-FREE FROM SMOKING<br />
Immediately stop smoking if your doctor tells you that you have cancer.<br />
Many cancer sufferers make the mistake thinking they don’t have to stop smoking<br />
because they’re already ill. Continuing to smoke still delivers carcinogens to<br />
your already weakened body and works against treatments.<br />
4<br />
WASH FRUITS<br />
AND VEGGIES<br />
BEFORE EATING<br />
Be mindful to the fact that<br />
fruits and vegetables from<br />
the store may not be ready<br />
for immediate consumption,<br />
as they may be tainted.<br />
Most produce is regularly<br />
treated with various pesticides<br />
to protect them from<br />
pests and diseases. Before<br />
consuming fruits and vegetables,<br />
wash them with mild<br />
soap and water to remove<br />
any pesticides or try buying<br />
foods that contain the least<br />
amount of pesticides.<br />

KNOW THE<br />
SYMPTOMS<br />
OF CANCER<br />
Learn the symptoms for all<br />
major types of cancer so<br />
that you know when you<br />
need to see a doctor. If<br />
you go to the doctor when<br />
you first experience symptoms,<br />
you may be able to<br />
get cancer treated before<br />
it has progressed very far.<br />
This improves your chances<br />
for a long and happy life.<br />
Symptoms such as sudden<br />
or rapid weight loss,<br />
bloody stool, thin stools<br />
and abdominal cramping<br />
may point to colon cancer.<br />
If you have any of these<br />
symptoms, get examined<br />
by a doctor.<br />
6<br />
BE AWARE OF<br />
MEDICATION<br />
SIDE EFFECTS<br />
Be aware of certain changes<br />
that may take place as<br />
you undergo cancer therapy.<br />
Ask your doctor to explain<br />
all the side effects<br />
of any medication or other<br />
treatment he prescribes<br />
for your cancer. You may<br />
need to buy a wig, if you<br />
lose hair or wear makeup, if<br />
your complexion becomes<br />
very pale, and it makes<br />
you uncomfortable.<br />

7<br />
COMMUNICATE WITH<br />
YOUR LOVED ONES<br />
Be open and honest with your family and<br />
friends about your diagnosis. If you are<br />
strong and brave, you can feel kind of isolated;<br />
therefore, you should be honest<br />
about your feelings and utilize your support<br />
system. Open communication can provide<br />
a strong bond that will benefit both<br />
you and your loved ones.<br />
8<br />
FIND A GOOD DOCTOR<br />
Do not be afraid to change doctors<br />
if you are unhappy with the care or manner<br />
of your doctor. Your doctor should be<br />
available to you and not rush you or brush<br />
aside your concerns or fears. Your concerns<br />
must be addressed immediately.<br />
9<br />
JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP<br />
Whether you were just diagnosed or have been fighting cancer for a while, a support<br />
group can be a huge help. At a support group, you will be able to speak with other<br />
cancer patients and learn different techniques for coping with the disease. You can usually<br />
take family members with you to this group as well.<br />
Don’t be afraid to fight. Remember what you are fighting for and do not make any concessions<br />
to the disease. If you succumb to cancer, you’re going to lose a costly battle.<br />
Remember that your life literally hangs in the balance.<br />

TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY<br />
Your personal development will be<br />
more successful if you take proper care<br />
of your body. Achieving your personal development<br />
goals is more likely if you keep<br />
your energy levels high by getting a sufficient<br />
amount of sleep, exercising on a regular<br />
basis, and maintaining a nutritious<br />
diet. It may seem simple, but sometimes<br />
the simplest things in life are actually the<br />
most difficult.<br />

GET RID OF YOUR VICES<br />
Do you find yourself consuming alcohol<br />
far too often? Is nicotine or other<br />
destructive habits something that harms<br />
you? Your body should be treated with the<br />
respect it deserves.<br />
One way to improve your life is by getting<br />
rid of any bad habits that you have. Take a<br />
look of how you are living your life and the<br />
habits you have accumulated. Which ones<br />
do you think you could get rid of right now?<br />
3<br />
LEARN TO CALM YOURSELF<br />
Dealing with situations rationally is<br />
a skill that you can learn from others or<br />
teach yourself. Once you learn how to remain<br />
calm in the midst of stress, you’ll<br />
have the confidence needed to cope with<br />
anything that happens in your life. Make<br />
the time to stop and breathe.<br />
4<br />
SHOW RESPECT TO OTHERS<br />
You should always be respectful towards<br />
people, no matter what power they<br />
hold or what they could do for you. The<br />
way you treat them says more about you<br />
than it does about them.<br />

5<br />
HAVE A MOVIE DATE<br />
WITH A FRIEND<br />
If you are anxious about social interactions,<br />
try just going to a movie with a friend.<br />
Movies are social settings, but they do not<br />
require conversation or uncomfortable socialization.<br />
It can also be an effective way<br />
for you to become more comfortable with<br />
being near a large group of people.<br />
6<br />
LEARN TO SACRIFICE FOR OTHERS<br />
Demonstrate altruism to improve<br />
your life. There are times when you may<br />
have to sacrifice something and simply<br />
care for someone else. Inner growth is increased<br />
by sacrificing your own comfort<br />
and turning your focus to the needs of others,<br />
while maintaining your core values.<br />
7<br />
CREATE YOUR LIFE GOALS<br />
AND WORK ON IT<br />
Make a decision about where you want to<br />
go in life and stick with it. You can put all<br />
the thought into it and devise a perfect<br />
plan for life, but if you never put it into action,<br />
then you will not see results. Take action<br />
with the goal of realizing your dreams.<br />
8<br />
BE BRAVE TO TAKE ON RISKS<br />
Ultimate happiness may lie in assuming<br />
a manageable amount of risk. Many<br />
people stay in their comfort zones to avoid<br />
rejection or failure, so they aren’t as happy<br />
or fulfilled. Taking risks requires a lot of<br />
courage, which will help you become happy<br />
in the long run.<br />

DON’T FOCUS AND STRESS ON MISTAKES<br />
If you overreact you might be stressed for no reason. Analyze the situation carefully,<br />
and deal with the stress. A mistake isn’t the end of the world. Most mistakes can<br />
be rectified, and many can be remedied in a way that ends up better than if you hadn’t<br />
made a mistake to begin with. Instead of focusing on the things you’ve lost, remind yourself<br />
of everything you have.<br />
LEARN HOW TO<br />
LISTEN TO YOURSELF<br />
It is well known that being a good listener<br />
is an excellent character trait to develop.<br />
Listening definitely applies when developing<br />
yourself. Listen to your thoughts<br />
and learn to recognize your desires. If you<br />
don’t, you will not know what you need,<br />
nor will you improve yourself.<br />
PRACTICE WHAT YOU BELIEVE<br />
The principles you believe in need<br />
to be put into practice. Everyone has values<br />
and beliefs in which they hold dear.<br />
When your core beliefs are well-founded,<br />
your self-esteem improves. This also<br />
helps to make you a consistent person.<br />
This is an essential character trait.<br />
To get the most from your personal development<br />
efforts, be sure to aim high<br />
and value what is best. Make reaching<br />
your goals one of the most important aspects<br />
of your life. Give some of these tips<br />
a chance and if you notice any change in<br />
feelings or your thoughts make a note<br />
about it. Refrain from being too hard<br />
on yourself.<br />

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS<br />
Many people are able to analyze their feelings and then<br />
control their attacks. Try reminding yourself that feelings are<br />
subjective and do not have ultimate reign over your life. Give<br />
yourself a positive mantra and repeat it until you feel it start<br />
to sink in. You can go through an attack quickly if you focus on<br />
positive thoughts. Know that you will get through it and concentrate<br />
on keeping your control.<br />

TRY BREATHING AND<br />
RELAXATION TECHNIQUES<br />
If you are having trouble dealing<br />
with your panic attacks and do not<br />
know what to do, try to learn proper<br />
breathing and relaxation techniques.<br />
Dealing with panic attacks<br />
is possible when you figure out how<br />
to control your breathing. Although<br />
controlling panic attacks can be<br />
difficult, learning breathing techniques<br />
can make the difference.<br />
Make sure you control your breathing<br />
because this will help make the<br />
attack end sooner. To gain control<br />
while you are having an attack, take<br />
deep breaths.<br />
3<br />
STOP THINKING ABOUT<br />
YOUR PANIC ATTACKS<br />
Many times, the feelings of having a panic<br />
attack are what bring on a panic attack.<br />
Stop thinking about the sources of your<br />
attacks and about the dreaded worry.<br />
Your thoughts are powerful, and if you<br />
keep thinking about panic attacks, you<br />
may bring one on. These thoughts are<br />
similar to trying to get a song out of your<br />
head. The more you think about something,<br />
the harder it is to rid yourself of<br />
those types of thoughts.<br />
4<br />
KEEP TRACK OF YOUR TRIGGERS<br />
Always be aware of your feelings<br />
and emotions, so you can be alerted to the<br />
onset of a panic attack and stop it in its<br />
tracks. Monitor your thoughts and feelings<br />
leading up to an attack and record them in<br />
writing. Take note of these feelings once a<br />
week, so you know what starts your panic<br />
attacks and how to steer clear of them.<br />

5<br />
HAVE YOUR<br />
SUPPORT SYSTEM<br />
If you sense an impending<br />
panic attack, try and<br />
find somebody to talk to,<br />
if at all possible. Talking<br />
to someone that cares<br />
about you will help fight<br />
the stress and anxiety. You<br />
will gain even more benefits<br />
if someone will hug<br />
you. Human touch can be<br />
all it takes to make you<br />
feel comforted and secure.<br />
Be careful not to isolate<br />
yourself as this can increase<br />
your feelings of<br />
stress and anxiety. Having<br />
supportive people to help<br />
you with your anxiety will<br />
make it much easier to control<br />
your panic attacks. That<br />
is why having friends is<br />
so important.<br />
6<br />
PRACTICE DEALING<br />
WITH PANIC ATTACKS<br />
It is important to practice<br />
techniques for dealing with<br />
panic attacks before you<br />
are actually experiencing<br />
one. Practicing a relaxing<br />
exercise when you do not<br />
feel stressed will help you<br />
focus on relaxing when you<br />
are experiencing an attack.<br />
Practice on your breathing<br />
techniques as well.<br />
7<br />
START SHARING<br />
WHAT YOU KNOW<br />
Share your panic-attack<br />
knowledge with others<br />
through writing. Create a<br />
blog, pen an e-book, or even<br />
become a public speaker<br />
and hold seminars. You<br />
can overcome your panic<br />
attacks through this sense<br />
of achievement.<br />

JOIN SUPPORT GROUPS<br />
FOR PANIC ATTACKS<br />
A lot of different things can cause panic<br />
attacks. Find new techniques for tackling<br />
your panic attacks by joining a support<br />
group. Check out the Internet and see if<br />
there is a nearby support group for panic<br />
attack sufferers. Chatting with others that<br />
have similar problems can provide valuable<br />
information that you can use, and<br />
also give you a chance to find emotional<br />
support from others who suffer from<br />
panic attacks.<br />
9<br />
ENCOURAGE KIDS TO<br />
EXPRESS WHAT THEY FEEL<br />
A child with severe issues related to stress<br />
requires attention. They could be bothered<br />
by something that is happening, and the<br />
panic attack can be this problem manifesting<br />
itself because they don’t feel like they<br />
can express it. Make sure your child feels<br />
free to express emotions with you honestly<br />
and openly.<br />
If you are suffering from panic attacks, it<br />
does not mean that you have some intrinsic<br />
flaw, or that you are weak. Living with<br />
panic attacks actually takes a great deal of<br />
strength. By implementing the advice offered<br />
in this article, you will be better able<br />
to cope the next time you feel the panic<br />
start to rise! They may even go away entirely<br />
if you keep at it.<br />

EAT BREAKFAST EVERYDAY<br />
Breakfast is the most important meal<br />
of the day, especially if you want to lose<br />
weight. When you wake up early and eat<br />
a full breakfast you allow your digestive<br />
system to wake up and start metabolizing<br />
food. This lets your body burn calories<br />
from the beginning of the day rather than<br />
from lunchtime onward.<br />

AVOID EATING AT<br />
UNHEALTHY RESTAURANTS<br />
A good way to lose weight is to avoid eating<br />
out at unhealthy restaurants, especially<br />
all you can eat buffets. All you can eat<br />

you can in one sitting, and that’s a surefire<br />
way to put on a lot of fat.<br />
3<br />
TAKE UP A SPORT<br />
If you want to become more fit, take<br />
up a sport that you find enjoyable. Playing<br />
a competitive sport will help make your<br />
workout seem more fun. Also, if you have<br />
a team that’s counting on you every week,<br />
you’re more likely to go even when you’re<br />
tired than if you were doing a solitary<br />
workout.<br />

AVOID EATING LATE AT NIGHT<br />
Avoiding food late at night will help<br />
you lose weight in a hurry. Late-night<br />
snacking can really pack on the pounds. If<br />
you can cut out those midnight snacks and<br />
late-night dinners, you can begin to shed<br />
those pounds quickly.<br />
5<br />
TOSS THOSE HIGH CALORIE FOODS<br />
Go ahead and throw out those high<br />
calorie foods. It might feel wasteful, but<br />
if you are serious about losing weight it<br />
might be a good idea to hurry and get rid<br />
of any foods that might tempt you to stray<br />
from your diet. Clean out your fridge and<br />
pantries to make room for healthier foods.<br />
If you are out at a restaurant with a friend<br />
and you have the urge to order a dessert,<br />
you can ask your friend if they would like to<br />
split one with you. Having a half of a dessert<br />
will be a nice treat, and you will only<br />
consume half of the calories.<br />
6<br />
DEAL WITH STRESS IN<br />
A HEALTHY WAY<br />
In order to successfully lose weight, it is<br />
crucial that you find a healthy way to deal<br />
with stress. In today’s modern world, everyone<br />
experiences stress. Overweight people<br />
usually turn to food as a way to comfort<br />
themselves during stressful times. By finding<br />
alternative ways to deal with stress,<br />
such as, meditation, listening to music,<br />
playing an instrument, taking a hot bath,<br />
or reading a book, you can ensure that you<br />
don’t break your diet.<br />

KEEP A FOOD DIARY<br />
In order to increase your chances<br />
of success at weight loss, consider keeping<br />
a food diary. By keeping track of what<br />
you eat and when, you are better able to<br />
see food consumption habits and trends<br />
that could be potentially sabotaging your<br />
efforts. Additionally, by knowing that you<br />
will be recording everything you eat, you<br />
make yourself accountable for every food<br />
choice. This accountability can have a very<br />
powerful motivating effect on your weight<br />
loss efforts.<br />
8<br />
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CAFFEINE<br />
Utilizing caffeine can aid in your<br />
weight loss goals. Caffeine is a natural<br />
substance found in coffee and various<br />
supplements. Not only can it help boost<br />
your metabolism, it can fuel you for your<br />
workouts and reduce your pain threshold<br />
for workouts which allows you to increase<br />
your intensity. Make sure to drink your<br />
coffee black or with skim milk to maximize<br />
its properties.<br />
9<br />
MAKE SMALL CHANGES<br />
TO BURN CALORIES<br />
An easy way to add to your weight loss efforts<br />
is to make small changes. This could<br />
be walking up the stairs instead of riding in<br />
the elevator, or parking farther out in the<br />
parking lot instead of fighting for a spot<br />
right in front of the building. Little tweaks<br />
like this can burn more calories and help<br />
you lose weight.<br />
108 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES<br />
An easier way to create a diet for losing weight is to think of what to add to your<br />
diet rather than what to remove. Try to eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.<br />
This will give you lots of needed vitamins and minerals, as well as filling you up so you<br />
can’t eat as much junk.<br />
Use these tips to de-mystify losing weight. The simplest ways to lose weight are often the<br />
best. Just remember to keep going and not to get discouraged when you don’t see the<br />
results on the scale that you want to see. Make sure you stay committed and you WILL<br />
start losing the weight.<br />

1 ALWAYS<br />
MAKE DIETARY<br />
CHANGES SLOWLY<br />
Try not to do a complete<br />
overhaul overnight. You<br />
also don’t want to provide<br />
yourself with too much of a<br />
shock by eating foods that<br />
you may not even like. Add<br />
healthier items and remove<br />
unhealthy items from your<br />
diet slowly until you’ve got<br />
a healthier diet.<br />
2<br />
HAVE A PROTEIN<br />
BAR HANDY<br />
It’s a smart idea to always<br />
have some protein bars or<br />
similar concentrated food<br />
in your computer bag if<br />
you travel a great deal. You<br />
might already know that actual<br />
meals are difficult to<br />
find in airports. You may be<br />
tied up in security, waiting<br />
for your flight or flying on<br />
a plane that does not serve<br />
meals. Keep a few bars with<br />
you just in case you get hungry<br />
or need some energy.<br />
3<br />
EAT A VARIETY OF PROTEIN IN A WEEK<br />
Mix up the meats that you eat to include fish and poultry. Eggs are a wonderful<br />
source of protein. Researchers say a single egg daily isn’t harmful to health. Sometimes,<br />
you will want to refrain from eating meat on a particular day. Replace meat with nuts,<br />
seeds, peas, beans or peanut butter.<br />

4<br />
NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST<br />
When assembling a diet plan that includes<br />
the right amount of calories and<br />
proper nutrition, it is critical that you include<br />
breakfast every day. Breakfast certainly<br />
is an important meal. It provides<br />
your metabolism with the boost it needs<br />
to start the day.<br />
5<br />
LOAD UP ON INULIN<br />
Make sure to add a naturally-occurring<br />
nutrient known as inulin to your diet.<br />
You can get this nutrient from artichokes<br />
and garlic. It’s a carb that helps you lose<br />
weight and keep your digestion in check.<br />
Garlic also has a positive impact on your<br />
immune system. You can always blanch<br />
garlic to reduce its smell if you’re worried<br />
about your breath, or you can take a<br />
non-odorous garlic supplement.<br />
6<br />
SUBSTITUTE GROUND BEEF WITH TURKEY<br />
Replacing ground beef with turkey has numerous health benefits, but some are put<br />
off by the turkey’s dryness. To solve this problem, make the turkey juicier by preparing<br />
it with onions and extra-virgin olive oil. The flavor will be more tasty and you will consume<br />
less fat.<br />
7<br />
GO FOR BAKED, NOT FRIED!<br />
Make sure your diet consists of eating foods that are baked instead of fried. Baked<br />
goods have fewer calories, less oil and are lighter in carbohydrates than fried goods.<br />
Eating baked foods everyday will also provide your body with more energy.<br />

8<br />
AVOID USING OIL<br />
Saute your vegetables in a small amount of water instead of artery blocking oil.<br />
Vegetables prepared by boiling or steaming are just as tasty as their fried counterparts.<br />
If you must use oil in your vegetables, use either vegetable oil or olive oil.<br />
9<br />
COOK YOUR<br />
MUSHROOMS PROPERLY<br />
When preparing mushrooms, always make<br />
sure they are adequately cooked. Cooking<br />
them very well will help break down some<br />
of the carcinogens. These natural toxins<br />
could otherwise be harmful to your health.<br />
You need to watch your health. This will<br />
make it easier to burn fat.<br />
MORE SLEEP AND LESS ALCOHOL<br />
Every day, get plenty of sleep and<br />
reduce your alcohol intake. Alcohol increases<br />
oil production on your face and enlarges<br />
your pores. Larger pores allow more<br />
dirt to accumulate and can cause infection.<br />
It is important to sleep at least seven hours<br />
daily and drink no more than one alcoholic<br />
drink a day.<br />

PREP YOUR FOOD<br />
THE HEALTHY WAY<br />
A change in meal preparation methods can<br />
have a great effect on the body’s nutrition.<br />
Steaming or boiling foods will cook them<br />
without adding any extra fat. By choosing<br />
healthier methods of preparing food, one<br />
can ensure good nutrition.<br />
EAT SMALLER<br />
MEALS FREQUENTLY<br />
These smaller meals, while easier on the digestive<br />
process, also help control your weight<br />
as you typically burn off more calories than<br />
you are taking in. Your risk of diabetes, hypertension,<br />
and other diseases are reduced if<br />
you are at a healthy weight. Eating frequently<br />
can help you avoid getting too hungry so that<br />
you do not binge on bad foods.<br />
You must always stay up to date with your<br />
nutritional education. The hints above are<br />
just the beginning of your long-term journey<br />
into learning how to eat healthy. Find<br />
more information, so you can feed your<br />
body and mind.<br />

SMOOTH TAN<br />

self-tanner. This will help to create a<br />
smooth and more defined appearance.<br />
This will allow the faux tan to appear even<br />
and streak-free. This will authenticate<br />
your golden glow and even make it last<br />
much longer.<br />

to provide a long-lasting curl.<br />

SHINY EYEBROWS<br />
Before going to bed,<br />
spread some Vaseline over<br />
your eyebrows. Your eyebrows<br />
will have a shiny<br />
and improved appearance.<br />
Be careful not to<br />
spread Vaseline elsewhere<br />
on your face to avoid<br />
acne breakouts.<br />
4<br />
GLOWING LIPS<br />
In order to enhance<br />
the appearance of your lips,<br />
use shimmery white eyeshadow<br />
on the center of the<br />
top lip. The applied white<br />
eyeshadow will improve the<br />
reflection off of your lip.<br />
This will also give you the<br />
glow that you desire.<br />
5<br />
FRESH FACE<br />
If you plan on going<br />
out for fun right after work,<br />
use a brush to dust matte<br />
powder on your face to get<br />
rid of oil. You can make your<br />
cheekbones have some emphasis<br />
with a gentle application<br />
of shimmery powder<br />
on your cheek temples.<br />
Doing so will give you a<br />
fresh and sharp facial look.<br />
6<br />
FACE ENHANCING<br />
HAIRSTYLE<br />
The right type of haircut<br />
can make a face look slimmer.<br />
Choose a cut with<br />
sleek, elongated lines, with<br />
the longest layers reaching<br />
somewhere between your<br />
jawline and shoulders. Use<br />
low-lights and highlights as<br />
appropriate to frame your<br />
face. These will look good<br />
and will make your face<br />
more attractive.<br />

NAIL TEAR FIX<br />
When your fingernail tears, use a teabag<br />
to repair it. First, empty a teabag of<br />
its leaves. Then, cut a piece of the teabag<br />
that is the size of the tear. Simply, place<br />
your patch over the tear and coat the entire<br />
nail, including the patch, with nail<br />
strengthener or clear nail polish.<br />
8<br />
LONGER AND STRONGER NAILS<br />
To get those nice long fingernails,<br />
use Vaseline to massage into your cuticles<br />
each week. By feeding the nail in this fashion,<br />
you are encouraging nail growth. Use<br />
a top coat when you polish your nails to<br />
prevent chipping.<br />
9<br />
HEALTHY-LOOKING HAIR<br />
As a man who enjoys looking good,<br />
you are sure to be concerned with the appearance<br />
of your hair. If your hair is dry, be<br />
sure to use a good, nourishing conditioner.<br />
There is also some handy hair conditioning<br />
sprays that you can use for a quick fix of<br />
your dry hair.<br />
COOLING BEAUTY<br />
Keep some of your beauty products<br />
in the refrigerator. You definitely want to<br />
do this in summertime! Keeping toners, lotions<br />
and oils refrigerated can allow you to<br />
use them even in a heatwave. The cooling<br />
sensation is sure to leave your skin feeling<br />
refreshed and chilled.<br />
124 Issue 15 • <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
LONG-LASTING NAIL POLISHES<br />
If you notice one of your nail polishes<br />
starting to get sticky and thick, you can<br />
put some nail polish remover in it. Only<br />
add a tiny bit, replace the lid and shake.<br />
This helps add a few additional applications<br />
for your nail polish.<br />
CONCEALER HELPINGS<br />
Short on concealer? Use the foundation<br />
stuck in the threads of your makeup<br />
cap. When you are out of regular concealer,<br />
the collected foundation in the cap<br />
serves as a great replacement. This makeup<br />
is thick so it will act as a concealer to<br />
cover any blemishes.<br />
PINEAPPLES FOR LOSING WEIGHT<br />
When trying to lose some weight,<br />
an excellent food to add to your diet is a<br />
pineapple. This fruit is sweet and delicious,<br />
and the large amount of bromelain it contains<br />
makes it great for dieters. This nutrient<br />
helps your body digest fat, starch and<br />
protein. Therefore, you should consume<br />
a lot of pineapples to help your digestion<br />
and improve your metabolism.<br />
GOING CAFFEINE-FREE<br />
Try and stay away from caffeine<br />
if you want to improve your beauty.<br />
Caffeine can age you, make you look<br />
tired, and make you feel jittery. Limit<br />
tea and coffee to one cup a day. Think<br />
about alternatives to your usual drinks,<br />
such as green tea or decaf coffee.<br />
Hopefully, you have learned a few simple<br />
beauty tips that can help you to look your<br />
best. After reading these tips, you should<br />
now have an understanding of how to<br />
create a beauty regimen that will work<br />
for you. More importantly, keep in mind<br />
that real beauty is a result of taking care<br />
of your body on a daily basis. And by being<br />
yourself - because you are beautiful!<br />
