Suspend-It

MP3 players nowadays are so common, that almost everyone has one. It’s great to listen to good music especially when you’re in the gym exercising.

Ever tried of doing a workout while listening to music? Your movements will automatically lock on to the beat without you knowing. Doing workouts with the beat of the music makes your reflexes react to the beat and give you that happy and energetic mood.

Music gives good motivation. It lets you concentrate more on your workout rather than on the stress you are feeling. It sort of distracts you from all the noise from the outside world, and makes you feel that you are in a world of your own. Researchers even linked music to nerve simulation. They pointed out that music increases tension in the muscles therefore making them work harder.

A bit of a warning though about listening to music: never play music loudly. It can do permanent damage to your ears. Also, earphones which are of the earplug type are not advisable. They can cause serious injury to the ears because of the pressure it gives to the eardrums. Better to use the hooked types or headphones.

My cousin, who’s currently in the online trading business, is fat. Not excessively plump or big boned, but fat. He IS almost in the scale of filthy rich, but he’s fat. The I-might-have-a-heart-attack-anytime-soon type of fat.

It’s quite sad to know that people nowadays are so busy trying to get rich that they neglect their health – something that once lost, cannot be restored to its full functionality, not even if you’re swimming in money and are willing to pay the bill.

You may have all the riches in the world, but the question is, with your current health condition, will you be able to enjoy it? For how long?

Only a few days to go before thanksgiving holiday! Most of us will be visiting our far away relatives to celebrate with them this wonderful occasion. In our family, it has been a tradition to give gifts to our nephews and nieces. Children love receiving gifts especially toys.

Nowadays, consumers are warned to be very conscious when buying toys. There are currently lots of unsafe toys out in the market. Counterfeit toys may be cheaper and may look the same as the original, but the materials used in making these toys usually are toxic and harmful to children. Some of the common toxic materials found in these fake toys are lead, mercury and cadmium.

When buying toys, make sure they are well packaged. Look for the age bracket label and relevant warnings to know if the toys are appropriate for the children. Inspect the toys if they have sharp edges, and removable parts which can harm children. See if you can find a CE seal with the importer’s and manufacturers name outside the packaging. The CE mark is a sign that it is legally imported and inspected by trading officers. Most importantly, buy only in reputable shops and not from street vendors. This will give you a little guarantee that the toys you bought are of high quality.

Happy thanksgiving to you all!

This morning I had a chat with my friend Denise. She came by our house to return some books she borrowed. The last time we talked was a year ago, and I was surprised to see her so thin. I could remember the time when she was so conscious about her chubby figure that sometimes she won’t go out of their house for a month straight! And now, I am so amazed with her sexy figure.

I came to the point of asking her how she did it. She said several months ago she was hospitalized because of taking instant weight loss pills she got from a friend. She took them without prescription then after a week, her hands were trembling and her heart palpitating. Her doctor told her to immediately stop taking those pills. It turned out that those pills were not FDA approved and therefore unsafe. It was a good lesson that she learned the hard way.

“If you want a real fat burner”, Denise advised, “Better ask your doctor’s advice. Or better yet, do it the natural way – proper exercise, balanced diet, plenty of fruit juices, and good sleeping habits.” She further suggested enrolling in a fitness gym or aerobics class; this way you not only lose weight, you also make your heart healthier.

You’ll never know when you would be getting an illness, so to all the Alabama people! Try getting an awesome Alabama medical insurance. I assure you, this isn’t just for luxury purposes or any other waste of money. It’s a MUST!

Prevention is better than cure right? This would help you prevent having financial problems when a pricey illness comes to attack you. Not only would you get that sickness if you don’t, you’d also get a headache from finding where to get loads of money in your time of need! So get a medical insurance now!

I’ve had acne problems since I hit puberty stage. Not that I’m vain, but, I got really conscious with that especially since having clear skin after all, adds a boost in once confidence.

Since then, I’ve tried several acne treatments from generic, commercial soaps to real derma facial treatments (yeah, the pricking and squishing type). It was only this year that I discovered THE facial wash that finally matched my skin type (the Nivea soap free wash) and the dermatologist that helped clear my acne without having to undergo the usual painful pricking and peeling (well, there is a bit of molting season, but not the horrible your-entire-face-is-peeling type).

I have to admit that my search for the right acne treatment took more than 10 years (and cost me a lot of dough). Nevertheless, the wait and the pain I went through were worth it. I get to appreciate my skin more and proved once again that if you want something, with all your heart, and worked hard for it, you can get it. Patience my dear. 0;)

A daily reminder: Remember to take vitamins everyday, especially vitamin C. There are a lot of diseases out in the world today, and prevention is always better than cure! It’s a lot better to take care of yourself first than taking care of others and seeing yourself end up as the one who got worse.

So if you want to help others, help yourself first.

Did you know that maintaining good posture has a lot of benefits? Not only does it make you look good and help you boost self confidence, you can also prevent yourself from getting scoliosis–and you wouldn’t want that. My sixteen year-old sister has mild scoliosis and she looks a bit distorted because her right hip is protruding, but it isn’t that obvious if you don’t look that closely. She’s currently undergoing physical therapy to correct that though and to ensure that her scoliosis does not get worse.

So remember folks, maintain proper posture, it’s good for you!

Your teeth is one that most people see in you everyday. So make sure to brush your teeth all the time, because you’ll end up smelling like a sewer if you don’t! And that wouldn’t be nice.

Others wouldn’t like to hang out with you because you have a bad breath and all, and you wouldn’t want that, right? So start brushing and brushing and brushing!
