How to Stay Healthy and Fit
Women play a vital role not only in the home but also in our society in
general. Women should recognize the unique dualistic capabilities they have. It
should be that in order to care for others, you need to take good care of
yourself. There are different healthy
tips for women; all you need to do is take time to care for yourself
physically, mentally and emotionally. Below are practical healthy tips for women, be determined, you can do them.
1. Start slow - be realistic and smart, a
healthy diet does not happen overnight. Start with small things like having a
vegetable salad to your diet or use an sesame oil when cooking instead of using
butter. Make these small changes a habit, and look forward for a total change
to a healthier you.
2. Nourish
your bones – as women age, they become prone to bone density loss. Avoid eating
too much animal protein as they are acidic which forces our body to deplete
calcium reserves as buffer.
3. Iron
your body – of course I don’t mean it literally! It is crucial among women to
have that recommended iron especially for those who are pregnant or has been
pregnant. If you feel the following symptoms: sensitivity to colds, fatigue,
headache and depression then it’s time for you to indulge in plant based diet
full of iron-rich foods. Good sources are leafy greens, chard, kale, spinach,
lentils, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and navy beans.
4. Start
a healthy habit – be very specific, make your intentions clear, for instance go
on a nine-block brisk walk every morning instead of exercise more often.
5. Check
your breast regularly – protect yourself against breast cancer. This healthy tip for women is very common
yet it is sad to note that many women died for breast cancer. Feel your body
regularly to recognize sudden changes.
6. Get
your orgasm – this may sound funny but mind you this healthy tip for women is one of the few free things you can avail
and enjoy. Orgasm release hormones that boost emotional well-being and immune
system and may even extend life.
7. Plan
your future - young women are mostly healthy in their current situation. The
problem arises as where their lifestyle will lead them as they age. Invest now,
make the change now, live a healthy lifestyle and more importantly eat to
nourish your body.
8. Be
happy – avoid a person who makes you feel miserable. If your relationship is a
huge head-ache, drop that bad boy!
9. Be
smart – Sharpen your mind, read something exciting, do a puzzle and make it a
habit to read only happy thoughts.
10. Buy
yourself a shoes – go on platform heels, stilettos put too much pressure on the
balls of your feet which may lead to bunions- not a healthy one.
The universe was never complete
without the existence of a woman; the healthy
tips for women above could be helpful so that the woman species on earth
will remained in existence throughout time.

out-of-control hunger. When you are very hungry you tend to forget about good
nutrition.

creamy sauces, rather than eliminating them, just minimize it at first.
5. It’s
how you eat- eating healthy is not only about the food in your plate but also
about how you think about the food. Think your food as nourishment of your body
and not just as something to gulp down.

Linear Income Vs. Residual Income – Which one do you belong
Linear income is an income where almost everyone of you belong. There's nothing wrong wit it actually, its just that for an 8 hour job you are only paid once, right? The next day if your not going to work then your pay check may have one day lesser. This income I am referring to is your salary income. You are only paid once for your effort. If you don't show up for work, neither does your pay check. Would you not be excited if you will be paid or compensated a hundred times for an hour of work. Of course everyone of us does. So why not start creating a residual income in your free time? But wait what is residual income? residual income, according to Robert Allen, a multi millionaire, is a fancy term for a "recurring" stream of income that continues to flow whether you're there or not.
The secret of the wealthy is not that they have more money but that they have more time freedom. Many of their streams of income are residual, so they have time to spend on anything they want. You may think and appear to be reach because you're a doctor, lawyer or sales people but you are not. A doctor has to see a fixed number of patients a day. And he has to be there for every single one of them. A doctors income is therefore linear. The same with lawyers, sales persons. If you're smart you will start shifting your income streams from linear to residual. So, start by turning at least one new residual stream ...

The Truth Behind How Women Think!
Women
are extremely difficult to understand and there will never be a single man that
will tell you how she thinks. If you see it through a woman's point-of-view,
however, you will be able to understand a little bit how a woman thinks. Men
will never fully understand how a woman thinks because, in all honesty, women
are all different. But, in general, women do tend to think about some things in
a common way.
Style – If you want to make a good impression
on women, dress in an appropriate style. To her it is a positive impression.
Your style is always important to her and that this thing, she’ll always
remember too.
Smile – Your smile matters. When you
decide to give her a smile, make sure it’s your greatest. This will be one of
those first impression factors. Your great smile can go a long way. Make her
also notice other great things about you because it’s not only your smile that
will all matter as you go along the way.
Personality - Every woman will look at a man’s
personality as one huge factor in every relationship. Your relationship will be
gauge either it will work or not in the end. For most women, physical attractiveness
will always come second to personality.
Awkwardness – Always make sure awkwardness is at
low level because women hate awkwardness! It is the worst thing that a man
could do while talking to a woman. It’s no use talking to someone if it's just
going to be awkward especially to women.
Attention – One of the most important things
to women is attention. It is the most wanted thing to a woman. Women absolutely
love attention. No matter what the guy or what the attention is - any attention
is good. Even if she says she doesn't like the attention, she is just bluffing.
Every woman loves attention, why not give it to her.
Jealousy – Most women would claim that they aren't get jealous when in fact they do. The truth is - they hide their
jealousy better than others. Any woman would get jealous knowing that her
partner is with other women around, who wouldn't anyways. All women get jealous;
it’s that they are good in hiding it.
Gifts for No Reason – All women love to receive gifts.
She’ll love and appreciate it even more if you’ll give her a gift for no reason
at all. She will simply love it no matter how small it would be. For her, it’s
the thought that will always count.

What is Acne?
Human skin, especially on the face, neck, back, and chest is
covered in hundreds of thousands of microscopic hair follicles, often called
pores.For
reasons no one completely understands, these follicles sometimes overproduce
cells and become blocked. Sebum (oil) which normally drains to the surface gets
trapped and a bacterium begins to grow. All acne lesions start out as a
microcomedone.
Normal dollicle |
microcomedone
There are two main types of acne
1. Non- inflammatory acne -- Microcomedones
can spontaneously become unplugged and heal or they become non-inflamed skin
blemishes called comedones--either a whitehead or a blackhead.
Whitehead- When
the trapped sebum and bacteria stay
below the skin surface, whitehead is
formed. Whiteheads may show up as tiny white spots, or they may be so small
that they are invisible to the naked eye.
Blackhead - A blackhead
occurs when the pore opens to the surface, and the sebum, which the skin pigment melanin, oxidizes
and turns a brown/black color. It is not dirt and cannot be
washed away. Blackheads can last for a long time because the contents very
slowly drain to the surface.
2. Inflammatory acne - A blackhead or whitehead can release its contents to the surface and heal. Or, the follicle wall can rupture and inflammatory acne can ensue. This rupture can be caused by random occurrence or by picking or touching the skin. This is why it is important to leave acne prone skin relatively untouched
Papule - Papule occurs when there is a break in the follicular
wall. White blood cells rush in and the pore becomes inflamed.
Pastule - A pustule forms several days later when white
blood cells make their way to the surface of the skin. This is what people
usually refer to as a "zit" or a "pimple".
A papule or pustule can completely collapse
or explode, severely inflaming the surrounding skin, and may engulf neighboring
follicles. These lesions are called cysts or nodules:
Cyst - Sometimes
a severe inflammatory reaction can result in very large pus filled lesions
Nodule - When a follicle
breaks along the bottom, total collapse can occur, causing a large, inflamed bump that can be sore to the touch.
Severe Forms of Acne
The following severe forms of acne are rare, but they inflict great
hardship to the people who experience them.
Acne Conglobata -
This is the most severe form of acne vulgaris and is more common in males. It
is characterized by numerous large lesions, which are sometimes interconnected,
along with widespread blackheads. It can cause severe, irrevocable damage to
the skin, and disfiguring scarring. It is found on the
face, chest, back, buttocks, upper arms, and thighs. The age of onset for acne
conglobata is usually between 18 to 30 years, and the condition can stay active
for many years. As with all forms of acne, the cause of acne conglobata is
unknown. Treatment usually includes isotretinoin (Accutane), and although acne
conglobata is sometimes resistant to treatment, it can often be controlled
through aggressive treatment over time.
Acne Fulminans - This is an abrupt
onset of acne conglobata-like symptoms which normally afflicts young Caucasian
men.14-16 Symptoms of severe nodulocystic, often ulcerating acne are apparent.
As with acne conglobata, extreme, disfiguring scarring is common. Acne fulminans is unique in that it also includes a fever and aching of the joints.15 Hospitalization of 3-5 weeks is typical for
treatment.16 Acne fulminans does not respond well to antibiotics. Isotretinoin (Accutane) and oral steroids are
normally prescribed.
Gram-Negative
Folliculitis - This condition is a bacterial infection
characterized by pustules and cysts, possibly occurring as a complication
resulting from a long term antibiotic treatment of acne vulgaris.14 It is a
rare condition, and we do not know if it is more common in males or females at this time. Fortunately,
isotretinoin (Accutane) is often effective in combating gram-negative
folliculitis.
Pyoderma Faciale
(Rosacea Fulminans) - This type of severe
facial acne affects only females, usually between the ages of 20 to 40 years
old, and is characterized by large painful nodules, pustules, and sores, all of
which may scar.14-15,17 It begins abruptly, and may occur on the skin of a
woman who has never had acne before.15-17 It is confined to the face, and usually does not last longer than one
year, but can wreak havoc in a very short time. Doctors often prescribe isotretinoin (Accutane) as well as systemic corticosteroids.

7 Words To Inspire Your Children
Growing
a child is one of the most challenging roles a parent has to play. It does not
stop on giving the right education but more importantly growing him the best of
himself.
Communication is one key to growing a responsible child. In growing the best possible version of your child, the right choice of words and phrases is crucial. Common words and phrases no matter how well-intended can be emotionally and psychologically damaging. Young brains are still developing in their teen years. Do not expect your kids to process words, context, and nuance as the adult brains.
Some parents may think that what they say to their children seems harmless or even constructive on the surface, but, to experts, they hurt than help.

Do not expect your kids to process words, context, and nuance as the adult brains.
Some parents may think that what they say to their children seems harmless or even constructive on the surface, but, to experts, they hurt than help.
Her are seven common phrases and their alternative that will help build character and get your message across in a better way.
According to Social Psychologist Carol Dweck, PhD who tested the effects of over praise on 400 Year Five students in Columbia University, kids praised for "trying hard" did better on tests and were likely to take on difficult assignments than those lauded for being "smart."
"Praising attributes or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that trait, and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges", says Dweck. "They figure they'd better quit while ahead."
Too much praise can back fire. Talk the overall effort of your child than besting all her classmates in English, in this way he won't think that you only love him when he got the highest score or achieve the most.
2. You say "We can't afford that!" They hear "Money is the answer to everything."
Better say it "The store is filled with great things today, but we've lost at home already and we've not going to bring home anything more."
You want your children to have the sense of abundance until the age of five-not in material way, but in the sense that what you do have brings joy", says Marcy Axness, PhD, a child development specialist and founder of quantumparenting.com.
Inculcate in your little ones mind that money is not the source of all things good in life. Be very careful in saying how he can't have something because you can't afford it. Better sit-down and worked out together that he can have it by saving a small part from his allowance.
3. You say "Don't worry - it'll be OK!" They hear "You're such a drama queen!"
Better say it "I totally understand what you must have gone through. Tell me about it"
Kids need to learn how to express feelings, work through them and move on, as opposed to trying to make them go away without expression," says Panaccione. If children feel that they shouldn't have feelings or that their feelings are bad, they'll start to lock them inside and fail to adopt healthy coping strategies, she says. It's natural for parents to console a disappointed child for not winning a medal in a declamation contest. Give him the nudge they need to deal with situations on their own by asking questions "Why do you think this happened?", "Do you have any ideas about what you can do to make it better?" You can give comfort by listening than by talking. Don't resonate with your child's mood.
4. You say "Don't talk to strangers." They hear "Anyone you don't know is trying to hurt you." Better say it "Don't talk to people who make you feel uncomfortable."
One cannot stop his child to talk to the bus driver in paying for his fare nor to a pharmacist when buying a medicine. There were cases wherein children are victimized by people they know well. Thus it makes sense to tell children not to talk to anyone, acquaintance, or stranger, who makes them feel uncomfortable.
5. You say "Make sure you share." They hear "Give away your stuff." Better say it "Rose would you like to play with your doll for a while, but it's still yours and she will give it back."
"Young kids don't distinguish clearly between themselves and the objects they own or cherish, like their teddy bear or favorite toy train," says psychologist David Elkind, PhD. So in effect you're asking them to give away part of themselves."
Don't force your child to relinquish ownership. You may label your child's toy with his name before prying it out of his hands.
6. You say "Why did you failed in your test, why did you hit your sister, etc.?" They hear "You messed up again." Better say it "My guess is that you failed because you did not study, but that's still not OK."
Don’t be a directive in disguise by saying "Don't you think you should put on your jacket so you won't feel cold", this approach may solve short term headache but creates a long term problem. Don't shame your child into confession. When your child "messed up" take this as an opportunity to start a productive dialog.
