ARTArticleBad Things Happen that are Out of Our Control: What Happens Next is Entirely Up to UsJane just bought the car; this was her first drive around the city. It sputtered, lurched, and then stalled. And night was rapidly approaching as were the storm clouds the weatherman had predicted.
The car mishap was out of Jane’s control. But how she reacted to the stress was in her control.
Each person faces a myriad of stresses each day. Some are small and warrant only a small acknowledgement from us; whereas others can really increase the heart rate and cause a heightened sense of awareness. Luckily, for most, those BIG stressful situations occur rarely.ARTArticleBalance Is The Key to Weight LossDuring my years of working with people to help them achieve weight loss, I have noticed a key element that leads to permanent weight loss. That essential key is balance. When you have balance in your life, you are not overtaken by any one aspect which deters your focus from your goals. Even if your main focus is on losing weight, you must be sure to fulfill other needs in your life. Do not allow an obsession with weight loss to take over. Likewise, if you are too focused on others, you will not be able to focus your energy on what you need to do in order to lose weight.ARTArticleBeing Kind Can Help You Lose WeightWhen you think about someone being kind, what types of images come to your mind? For many people being kind means doing nice things for others. Some show kindness by volunteering at a food bank. Others show their kindness by donating money to a charity. There are also people who believe that giving a small smile or a helping hand to a stranger is their act of kindness. We are kind to those around us, our loved ones and friends. Being kind and doing for others are wonderful character traits. When we are kind, knowing that we have helped another person gives us a sense of peace.ARTArticleBeing Overloaded is Actually Good for You?The word overload triggers a degree in caution in most people I would say.
As a personal trainer in Swansea I have planned and designed thousands of exercise programmes and worked with thousands of different clients of all ranges and abilities. In order for my clients to improve I need to structure my training programs in a progressive manner. Build people up as it were….
In order for the body to improve it needs to be pushed to its limits, however I can’t stress enough that this needs to be done gradually over a period of time.ARTArticleBest Pain Relief Cream Reviews!Best Pain Relief Cream Reviews – Review!
There are millions of people worldwide who live daily with chronic pain. In America alone, it is estimated that close to 75million people live with chronic pain. And for all these people, getting through the day without the aches and pains is a major goal! They will do almost anything in order to manage their pain. Very often, these people have tried almost everything, from surgery, highly potent and addictive prescription drugs, many with dangerous side effects to homeopathic, herbal, acupuncture or other remedies.ARTArticleBloated? You Can Get A Flatter Belly By Tomorrow!Hi there, hopefully you have some plans to do some good work on your body and goals in life.
If you’re not progressing your regressing, remember this saying “It’s better to wear out than to rust out”.
Whenever you are out socialising or in work I know you, like me, want to feel good about the way you look.
We must all agree on one thing, one of the major reasons we attempt to be lean, fit, and healthy is so that we can feel good about the way we look. I also know that we want results fast – they call it our need for immediate gratification. We are only human!ARTArticleBloating: Causes and RemediesThere's nothing like bloating to make you feel sluggish and uncomfortable. However, as uncomfortable as the feeling is, it is a universally common problem, which affects almost everyone. Because bloating can have several causes, we often don’t know where to start to avoid discomfort.
The first step in figuring out the cause of abdominal bloating is determining whether it's associated with eating or drinking, or both.ARTArticleBody Building, Achieving Your GoalsWhat will it take to achieve your goals.
As most of you out there will already know, body building is not as simple as picking up weights, pumping out loads of sets and on goes the muscle. Unfortunately there is a bit more to it than that, and you need to be in it for the long haul, as body building is most definitely not an over night process. This is why a lot of people stop going to the gym after a few weeks or months because they expect instant results and are put off by the amount of work involved.ARTArticleBody Building, Eat SmartNow we all know that by consuming more calories than you are burning off your body will store it as fat and if you burn more calories than you are consuming you will lose it. However when dieting your body can counteract against the lack of calorie intake so you must make sure you are consuming the right amount of calories, not too much and not too little. Finding the happy medium is essential when trying to lose weight. Your body reacts to the lack of calories by storing as much as possible as fat, the more calories you cut back on, the more your body will take a grip on its fat stores.ARTArticleBreathing Through the Night: A Little Trick When Sinuses are StuffedLiving in the city has never been easy on Andrea’s sinuses; but her mother needed to live close to the hospital where she was a practicing physician. Hence, the city was where Andrea had to live (Andrea is not her real name).ARTArticleCardio Does Not Help Busy People Lose FatResearch proves it.
In fact, in a head-to-head study, at University of Glamorgan, sports scientists found that short intense workouts helped subjects burn more belly fat - while cardio didn't work at all.
I am an elite personal trainer and sports scientist and have something very exciting that you need to know, I have been working in with normal people (like you) for over 15 years, and I must say you may be missing a trick ….or even two.ARTArticleCare Home Residents Lacking NHS ServicesThe Care Quality Commission (“CQC”) recently undertook a review of care and nursing homes in order to look at how well the health needs of residents were being met. The review included interviewing or observing care being delivered to 386 residents across 81 homes, with a scope for considering GP services and pathways for continence care, NHS support through the direct provision of nursing services and training of staff.ARTArticleCare Home Review Indicates Worsening Quality of CareA new report by the Royal College of Nursing (“RCN”) highlights how care homes in the UK are struggling to meet the care needs of residents. The report follows a survey of 584 care and nursing home nurses which found that staff are facing ever increasing challenges in providing care.ARTArticleCare in Crisis ReportAge UK, a prominent charity which supports older people, has released its Care in Crisis Report 2012 which offers a damning analysis of the funding of social care services for older people in the UK.ARTArticleCarpal Tunnel SyndromeARTArticleCelebrate Father's Day With Grilling for Good HealthThe third Sunday in June is the designated date that marks Father's Day. Though it was recognized in the early 20th century, it did not become an official holiday until 1972----58 years after Mother's Day was proclaimed in 1914!! I'm not sure why it took so long for the official proclamation, but we need to celebrate fathers and encourage Dad to make healthy meal choices.ARTArticleCelebrating Your SuccessesIn our culture, it’s typical to keep setting goals for yourself and striving towards those goals. It’s also fairly standard that once you reach a goal, you set a new one. In our efforts to keep going, keep building, and keep improving ourselves, we often neglect the importance of celebrating our successes.ARTArticleCeliac Disease and Diet Can Be Very ChallengingI think my feelings about food are similar to most people; I love food and love to eat. My heart goes out to those who suffer from disorders that cause them to be very selective when it comes to their diet. Specifically, I am talking about those with celiac disease. Celiac disease can easily be called an unsettling disturbance in the digestive system brought on by the body’s inability to digest a common element found in many foods, gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. That pretty much sums up everything that is delicious to most people.ARTArticleCell Phone Radiation: A Better Way to Minimize Your Family's ExposureWhy wait for government warning labels to confront what already seems clear: cell phone radiation isn’t good for us, and in some people may be causing brain tumors.
While the US Federal Communications Commission says current exposure guidelines are adequate, consumer protection agencies and ‘experts’ have at one time or another tried to convince the public that asbestos, tobacco, DDT and mercury were perfectly safe!ARTArticleChamomilla Homeopathic Remedy for Narcotic Withdrawal: A good choice when your pain medication is stopped abruptlyEmily was a 50-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in the lumbar and cervical spinal regions seven years ago. She had also been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis of the spinal vertebrae. She became “legally” disabled five years ago.ARTArticleChiropractic Care & Autism: It’s all about turning on the power againDuring my schooling in natural health, I worked as a chiropractic assistant. I learned that nerve impulses from the spine to the body organs are the brain’s way of communicating with those body organs or systems; and if there was interference with that communication, then problems can occur. The chiropractor’s “job” is to remove the impingement on the spinal nerves.ARTArticleChoose Foods High in Iodine and Selenium for Thyroid Gland HealthI sometime sit back and reflect on just how amazing the human body is. Without even thinking what’s going on inside we live like we are on autopilot. It feels good to be healthy and have an active life that is enjoyable. Unfortunately for some there are some aspects of the body, even the smallest ones that seem to malfunction, causing things to be a bit off kilter.ARTArticleCoconut OilHEALTH TIP:
I wanted to share some truth about coconut oil. Back in the 1960s when I was born, coconut oil was believed to be the “Devil inca
ate” (in liquid form) with more saturated fat than lard or butter, rendering it a “cholesterol-raising” … “heart-attack-causing” … “artery-clogging” nightmare. But is this truth or fiction?ARTArticleCommon side effects of Oral ContraceptivesThe most common side effects of the birth control pills include nausea, headache, breast tende
ess, weight gain, irregular bleeding, and mood changes. These side effects often subside after a few months' use. Scanty menstrual periods or breakthrough bleeding may occur but are often temporary, and neither side effect is serious. Women with a history of migraines may notice an increase in migraine frequency.ARTArticleCoping with COPD [Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease] NaturallyChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic disease characterized by shortness of breath, cough and sputum production. While symptoms of the disease do not usually appear in people younger than age 55 years, changes to the lung begin many years earlier. COPD is an umbrella term for a number of diseases which include chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. "Progressive" means the disease gets worse over time.ARTArticleCraving Comfort- Handling AddictionHow many times have you decided that you need to stop smoking or eating sugar and find that you can't? It becomes even more difficult to quit once you've decided that you have to. The internal saboteur takes over and tells you that, "just one more won't hurt."
One in every twelve adults abuse alcohol or are dependent on it. One in five Americans die from cigarette smoking every year. One in three Americans is suffering from obesity. It is clear our society is saturated with addictions.ARTArticleCreating The Right Conditions For Losing Weight Part 1What can you do to make your weight loss program more efficient? You can make sure your body is in the right condition 24/7 to lose the maximum amount of weight possible until you reach your ideal weight. This article is going to be about creating the right physical condition for efficient weight loss and part 2 will be about creating the right mental condition. Your body loses weight automatically when the conditions are right and it’s up to you to get your body in the right condition and keep in there until your weight loss program is finished.ARTArticleCuring InsomniaInsomnia affects all age groups. Insomnia affects women more often than men. It is typically more common in people in lower socioeconomic (income) groups, chronic alcoholics and mental health patients. Stress most commonly triggers short-term or acute insomnia. If you do not address your insomnia, it may develop into chronic insomnia.ARTArticleDealing With GriefMary’s son died in Afghanistan a few years ago. Not much later she developed a painful ovarian cyst. She did not want to have surgery. When she came into my office, she was skeptical about the possibility of her son’s death and her cyst being related.ARTArticleDear Santa - A List We Could ALL use for the New YearDear Santa…
There are some things I’d like for the New Year. I know that’s not within your usual bailiwick, and you’re probably pooped from a long sleigh ride, but if you don’t mind…
First, please give me good health. My body carries me faithfully from before my birth until my last days. I abuse it and overuse it. I overfeed it and undersleep it. Yet rarely do I appreciate it. Nonetheless, it usually works amazingly well. It doesn't seem to smile as much as I'd like (and it's not quite the size I wanted) but in all modesty, it's pretty cool.
