Why Sweating Armpits Cause Body Odor by Lynsey Carter


Body odor is normally a specific, and a mainly most-times unpleasant, smell belonging to an individual who will most likely have sweating armpits. Armpits tend to be the area of the body giving off the most odor because that area is normally a confined and damp space where some poentially serious, and potentially nasty, bacteria come to play.

This body odor that is given off by the individual can be also seriously influenced by a series of events, namely:

* their gender;

* their state of health;

* their dietary tastes;

* and any medication that they may be taking.

One way to control the volume of sweat you are producing could well depend on the amount of water you are consuming. Drinking a lot of water will allow the water being excreted through your pores to do so relatively easily and simply. But once you begin to heat up through your activity or your environmental conditions, there is the likely-hood of dehydration beginning to come in to play with your body sweating a storm.

One method to check on your hydration levels, if you have been sweating alot, is to check the toilet after you have been to urinate. If your urine is clear, then you are adequately hydrated, but if your urine is a pale yellow through to a dark yellow, then you are becoming more and more dehydrated. The darker the urine the worse your dehydration level, and you must drink water immediately to stop yourself becoming sick or ill.

Dehydration headaches are as bad, if not worse, than migraines. And serious dehydration can lead to muscle meltdown and/or death.

As you dehydrate, then less water is excreted as sweat becoming more concentrated in minerals such as lactate and urea. As these minerals are likely to be more concentrated, then the bacteria that feed off of these particular molecules tend to become more active. More active bacteria will mean more odor produced as this volatile byproduct of the bacteria's own waste creation process.

This is where water or most other drinks and juices come into their own, by aiding in keeping your hydration levels topped-up so that you are able to cope.

What you consume can also be determined in the smell of your sweat too. Some people reek of garlic the day after consuming garlic prawns for example, even-though they have showered and cleaned their teeth. Your sweated body odor can give your secrets away.

Another very good source of liquid replenishment are the fruit drinks and juices, natural preferably, as they impart a liquefied vitamin pill straight into your body, giving it a quick 'fix', both in hydration and nutrition.

Sweat itself is nearly odorless, but with the prolifically multiplying bacteria added to a confined space as in your armpit, this is the recipe that creates the odor that does come from your armpits.

Your Wrinkles Will Disappear Like Magic With Botox by Judy Hendershot


If you're unhappy with how your wrinkles have gotten more prevalent over the last couple of years, you might want to think about Botox. You've no doubt heard of Botox, but perhaps you're not exactly sure if it's right for you. It is comprised of protein that is derived from the botulism toxin and is injected underneath the skin to smooth the lines or wrinkles on a person's face. When you use Botox you will see the lines and wrinkles melt away, thus reducing the signs of aging and eliminating wrinkles.

Botox is a great way for a woman to look years younger without having to undergo the invasive procedures of a facelift. With a facelift, the patient will see scarring and bruises for anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. With Botox, you never have to go under the knife and you can see results in as little as an hour. There is minimal pain at the injection site and the procedure is so easy that many people do it on their lunch breaks.

It is one of the most painless ways for women to feel youthful and look younger every time they peer into the mirror. One of the most complained about type of wrinkles is the brow furrow. When you furrow your brow, wrinkles can make you look your age. With a simple Botox injection, you can take ten years off of that brow, giving you the confidence you've been dreaming of.

A big concern among women is whether or not their facial expressions are going to look natural. You don't want a procedure that is going to make you so you can't express yourself properly. The truth is that Botox will never make you look like you've had work done. This is one of the best benefits to the procedure.

Botox will simply reduce the muscle activity in your face so the frown lines in your brows will still allow you to convey every facial expression you could before. Most women are embarrassed about getting a procedure done. With Botox, many women like to seek out a qualified female practitioner. There are practitioners in the Chicago area that will be happy to answer all of your questions and tell you whether or not Botox is right for you.

If you're looking for a great way to lift years off your face and look younger, think about the benefits of Botox. Not only is it extremely affordable, you will not have to be embarrassed or take time off due to surgical procedures. The majority of women do not want their friends and peers to know that they have had work done. This makes Botox a very easy choice, so don't hesitate to contact a Botox practitioner today.

Erotic Massage and other Massage Therapy Styles by Chris Lontok


Erotic massage has roused the curiosity of many people. There are a lot of assumptions and misconceptions. This article provides a brief description of sensual massage and other massage therapy techniques for the tired and weary.

Massage therapy can do a lot for you. It helps you relax and relieves pain from your muscles, and it also is a highly recommended complementary alternative medicine for some ailments like cancer, depression, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis. There are specific massage techniques that can address specific physical conditions and state of mind. Here are a few common techniques:

Deep Tissue Massage

This massage techniques deals with the deep tissues embedded in the deeper layers of our muscles. The deep tissue massage is ideal for people experiencing chronic muscle pain on their upper and lower back, legs, and shoulders. Some people may find a deep tissue massage intense, since at some point, you’ll feel sore. But this is all part of the process. A deep tissue massage frees our muscles of toxin build-up that is usually the main cause of pain and muscle immobility.

Foot Massage

Some people call this type of therapeutic massage, reflexology. Some massage therapists call it “pressure therapy” since it involves applying pressure to specific points on the foot. A foot massage is a very relaxing way of addressing problems with your body’s internal organs. This is because it is believed that certain trigger points on our feet have a direct link with our organs, thus, stimulating and manipulating these points can remedy some of the dysfunctions. A trained massage therapist can also put pressure on different meridians or energy lines on the sole and side of the feet to determine the cause of illness.

Erotic/ Sensual Massage

This therapeutic massage is not offered by some massage spas. Not many people know of its benefits in terms of our physiological and psychological well-being. An erotic/sensual massage aims to heighten a person’s arousal to stimuli. Its main target is our sexual arousal, but it studies have shown that it helps a person with his or her alertness, consciousness, and their ability to process information. Why not try getting a sensual massage with your partner for a more unique experience?

Sports Massage

A sports massage is ideal of active individuals that are engaged in sports or intensive work-outs. Ideally, sports massages are given 10 minutes before and after engaging in a game or work out. It uses fast and stretching techniques that elevate body temperature and blood circulation. This way, the muscles perform better and endure for longer periods of time. Scientific studies on the sports massage’s ability to heal injuries are still sparse, but its positive benefits can be concretely observed.

Swedish Massage

The Swedish massage is probably the most popular among all forms of massage techniques. It is recommended for first-timers. The Swedish massage comprises of all the 5 basic strokes of a therapeutic massage—effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, and vibration.

Cosmetic Dentistry and your Options for a Better Smile by Chris Lontok


Cosmetic dentistry is a booming industry. More and more people are now more aware of oral health as well as new procedures they can undergo to make their teeth look better. With an increasing trend in putting great value for aesthetics, it's no wonder people in Tampa are willing to spend money on cosmetic dentistry to achieve that celebrity smile.

Some of the more common and well known cosmetic dental procedures are teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, and dental implants.

Discolored teeth enamel is a common problem since a lot of factors can contribute to teeth discoloration. Irregular brushing, smoking, coffee stains, and even genetics are only few of the main causes of non-white teeth. Teeth whitening procedures aim to breakdown hardened stains and then flush them out.

There are a few teeth whitening procedures available that correct discoloration of the teeth by removing the brown and yellow staining. While each work effectively, there are advantages and disadvantages to each procedure dependent upon your objectives and commitment to the processes. The type of procedures available should be discussed with your cosmetic dentist, and they will recommend the most appropriate teeth whitening procedure for you. Some teeth whitening procedures in the market today are laser bleaching, Britesmile teeth whitening, and store-bought whitening creams and strips.

Porcelain veneers serve as teeth color correction procedures, but they are also used to correct the shape of a tooth. There are three main types of veneer procedures—(1) composite, (2) porcelain veneer procedure, and (3) Lumineer porcelain veneer procedure. The material used for the veneer is the differentiating factor of the three. Traditional porcelain veneers typically cost about $850 to $2,500 per tooth, and require two or more visits one to two weeks apart.

Dental implants and bridges aim to replace missing teeth. Dental implant procedures are surgical and cost way more than bridges, but they will last you a lifetime. Implants and sedation dentistry always go together. Note that bridges and dentures are two different things. Bridges are false tooth or teeth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth or teeth. Dentures are removable teeth replacements made of acrylic.

Caps help stabilize damaged tooth/teeth. A cosmetic dentist will make an impression (mold) of your tooth and a dental laboratory will create the needed custom cap. To stabilize your tooth, a filling must first be put in place prior to placing caps to counter any loss of your original tooth structure. In some cases your cosmetic dentist may choose to use a Flipper instead of a temporary cap.

Grinding your teeth, an improper bite, age, fillings and tooth decay can all be contributing factors in the wearing down, cracking or breakage of your teeth. Dental crowns cover the entire visible surface of your affected tooth and add strength, durability and tooth stability. There are also varieties of dental crowns: resin, porcelain, and even gold. Porcelain crowns look the most natural but costs the most.

Teeth realignment has long been a popular part of cosmetic dentistry. But today, one procedure is gaining more popularity in the area of teeth realignment—Invisalign. This is a removable and transparent mouth piece you wear, and it functions as braces. Invisalign is ideal for everyone especially adults who wouldn't have to feel awkward about traditional braces.

Smiles by Design is a trusted cosmetic dentistry clinic that provides quality services to its clients in Tampa, Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco.

M.P.B. and F.P.B.: Causes and Possible Treatments for Alopecia by Chris Lontok


Baldness, or alopecia, is the condition of partial or complete loss of hair, primarily affecting the scalp. Baldness may spread over the entire head, or it may occur only in spots. Known causes of baldness include hereditary factors, aging, and diseases affecting the entire body, scalp disorders, ionizing radiation, and reaction to drugs.

In hereditary baldness, the hair follicles and oil glands in the scalp deteriorate and the hair gradually becomes thinner until only a few strands of fine, downy hair remain. The most common form of inherited baldness is male pattern baldness (M.P.B.) which spreads evenly, usually beginning with a partial loss of hair on the upper temples and on the crown of the head. This condition appears most frequently in men over 30 years old, although in some cases it may occur prematurely, even as early as the mid-teens. This form of heredity alopecia may be due in part to the hormonal changes that accompany the aging process.

Women become bald less often than men, but they carry the genes that determine pattern baldness and pass them on to their children. When inherited female pattern baldness (F.P.B.) does occur, it normally affects menopausal women—that is, women around the ages of 45 to 50 years old, suggesting a link to hormonal changes.

Several diseases, particularly those characterized by prolonged high fevers, may cause alopecia. Typhoid fever or scarlet fever can cause sudden loss of hair from the head or entire body. Gradual loss of hair may be caused by malnutrition, disorders of the endocrine system, drug poisoning, and other diseases. Alopecia universalis causes a permanent and total loss of hair over the entire body including the eyebrows and eyelashes. The cause of alopecia universalis is unfortunately still unknown.

Fungal infections like ringworm, severe bacterial infections, tuberculosis ulcers, and burns may also result in hair loss in the affected areas. Early treatment of some infections, particularly seborrheic dermatitis—chronic inflammation of the skin that also causes dandruff—may succeed in preventing hair loss from the scalp.

Individuals who have been exposed to significant doses of ionizing radiation, as from the explosion of nuclear weapons, tend to suffer from temporary baldness as well. Exposure to ionizing radiation from X-ray machines and other devices used to treat cancer may also cause temporary baldness. In addition, chemotherapy for cancer, which tends to destroy all rapidly dividing cells, may cause temporary total baldness because of its effect on hair follicles, which contain some of the most active cells in the body.

Certain hairstyles and hair treatments from the salon can also lead to hair loss. Cornrows and pigtails on can lead to hair loss if it's done too often on the hair. The pull on your hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. Hot oil hair treatments or chemicals used in perms may cause inflammation (swelling) of the hair follicle, which can also result in scarring and hair loss.

Fortunately, people no longer have to endure the hassles that come along with M.P.B. or F.P.B. Various hair loss treatments are already available to help you cope with problems with baldness. Medication, hair topical treatments, and hair restoration are only a few of the alternatives for hair loss treatments. A popular hair topical treatment is the use of a cream containing the drug minoxidil (brand name Rogaine), that needs to be used daily on the scalp for better results. Hair restoration with hair therapy and hair replacement is also a popular choice for baldness. Hair transplant and the use of hair replacement is an inexpensive way of covering the balding area while you're undergoing hair therapy.

Indian Biotech Industry on Fast Growth Track by Shushmul Maheshwari


According to our latest research report “Booming Biotech Market in India”, the Indian biotech industry has performed reasonably well in the recent past despite the global financial crisis. With the continuous increase in demand for vaccines, CROs, biopesticides, biofertilizers, biodiesel and biotherapeutics in India as well as abroad, the Indian biotech industry is expected to accelerate further in coming years. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 20% during FY2011-FY2012.

Effective Fat Burner Pills Don't Exist by Robert D. Franklin


Years ago I was struggling to lose weight and getting totally desperate to see any kind of results. I, too, fell into the same “quick fix” trap that I see people falling into now, trying every last extreme diet out there and even resorting to dangerous fat burning pills…all in an effort to drop even just a little bit of weight. I needed something, anything to help me not be fat anymore.

Back then I didn’t quite know how dangerous these pills were…at least not as much as I know now. I just figured so many other people were taking them and they were sold at the local store, they must be safe. Surely they were NOT!

Here was the problem, and maybe for you, too. We all want to see results and we want to see them immediately. Not only do most of us lack patience in many areas of our lives, but when we don’t see immediate results, we lose steam or give up or just call it impossible.

I refuse to have this turn into a short-term motivational speech. Yet I am going to tell you that if you are looking for a quick fix to losing weight, fat burners are definitely NOT the answer.

There are so many things to say about the dangers associated with many of these so-called fat burner pills: i.e., potential heart attack, damage to the heart, hormone disruption, stroke, permanent damage to your metabolism. We’ve all-too-often seen the unfortunate news reports of people dying from these pills that is just frightening.

Today I do want to share some “safe”, quick ways to get your fat burning engine going. I agree that exercise and healthy eating are always the benchmark answers, but sometimes we need a little more jumpstart to get the ball rolling.

Here are some methods that anybody can implement safely for accelerated fat loss results:

1. Eliminate wheat and dairy for 2 weeks or more. Most wheat and dairy products will cause an inflammatory response in your body and make it really difficult to see fat even scrape off your body. Wheat products include most breads, cereals, crackers, and pastas. Dairy includes milk products and cheeses. Eggs are fine in many cases and butter is fine, too, and they won't stop the process of fat burning.

2. Eliminate all grains for 2 weeks or more. This works. And if you have to get into a bikini in a few weeks, your high school reunion is right around the corner, or you just want the pounds to come off faster, I highly suggest going “grain free” until you reach your desired weight. Don't get me wrong, grains are healthy. But fat loss will be more accelerated without them. Grains include rice, oatmeal, millet, quinoa and spelt. A few weeks without them will help your body shed fat faster.

3. Add lemon to your water. It's a wonderful detoxifier to the liver and since the liver is your “fat burning” organ, it's good to have it working at optimum. Keep your liver clean, not only by removing processed foods and toxic substances from your eating plan, but also by giving it a good cleaning with fresh lemon. You may also want to add some cayenne pepper to your drink, too, which will help get your bowels moving.

4. Eat your fruit servings before 4pm. Yes, another wonderful food group that I am in no way saying is “bad” but you may see increased fat loss results by eating your fruit with breakfast or lunch and then sticking to veggies for your mid afternoon snack and dinner. Try raw carrots and peppers with almond butter as an afternoon snack and grilled asparagus over a piece of salmon with a side salad for a great dinner. Your fruit servings will still get in for the day, but much earlier instead.

There are several healthy techniques that will definitely work when you stick to them before resorting to something dangerous like taking fat burning supplements. Follow the simple steps above and walk onto the beach or into that high school reunion feeling and looking great.

Easy Techniques To Stop And Reduce Cellulite by Mel Olmst

Improve Health Through Reverse Osmosis - Does It Really Work? by Jeff Schuman


Have you heard that you can improve health through reverse osmosis and want to determine if it is really true or not? Then you need to know some important information about this so you can decide if this is something that will help you improve your health.

Reverse osmosis is a process of water filtration or purification where molecules of water will be forced using pressure through a membrane of plastic. This is where most of the impurities or contaminants are filtered out and will be directed to a drain while the filtered water will be kept in the holding tank.

This process will be able to remove most of the impurities and contaminants from the water you drink so you have safer water. One reason that reverse osmosis is good for improving your health is because it removes bacteria and pyrogens along with other bad things for your health from the unfiltered water.

Most of the sicknesses that people can get are carried in the water supply that people drink. A sad fact is that most people don't realize that the water they are drinking could be a big factor in the sickness they have so they never change the water they drink.

If the water you drink has not been filtered or purified then you are putting yourself at risk for getting a sickness. The more unclean water you drink the more likely your chances are of getting sick from it.

Most people don't realize that drinking water that is polluted has been linked to causing birth defects and even learning problems in kids. So children will definitely benefit from reverse osmosis to help keep them healthier.

Installing one of these systems into your home is very easy to do for anyone. Once it is properly installed you can expect to have the system remove up to 99% of the water impurities that can be found in unfiltered water.

That alone is worth having your own system because of the fact that it ensures the water your family drinks every day is clean and not going to cause them sicknesses.

Now one last way that these systems will help improve your health is by using a method known as submicron filtration of water. This will reduce the amount of many different things in the water including:

- Cysts

- Pesticides

- Volatile organic chemicals

- Asbestos

- Lead

Now that you know this important information about improving health through reverse osmosis you can see why so many people say it is true. If you are serious about improving your health then you have nothing to lose by getting your own system and everything to gain but especially better health.

No More Excuses For Fitness Locations by Robert D. Franklin

Many people know how important exercise is in their weight loss and health plan, but they still have a difficult time fitting it into their busy schedules.



One possible reason could be that exercise can be challenging when you first start off or you just hand yourself the excuse that you just don't have the time.

What works for me and even most clients is that no matter which exercise program they choose, it definitely should be something they enjoy. Especially when it comes to the setting and location.

For me, like many have, I converted one of the rooms in my house into a “home gym”.

And, NO, home gym does not mean the most expensive, high tech equipment is in there. Honestly, the only items that make up my home gym are: an exercise ball, some adjustable weights, a mat, and a used stationary bike. Nothing big or expensive about it!

I have joined gyms in the past and reminded myself to go. But like so many other gym members, I never went! Since I seriously enjoy exercising, wouldn't you think I would use my gym membership?

Since revamping that extra room into an exercise room, I love it. It’s my private time and I don’t have to worry about someone else needing the equipment or people lurking around suspiciously. I know it’s a great way to start any of days. I started to think if this could possibly be what’s stopping many people from exercising.

It could be an opposite situation for you. You don’t like working out in your home and you would much rather get out and be motivated by other healthy people.

Whatever the case may be, choose something you enjoy! You will never make a lifestyle change to include exercise on a consistent basis if you don’t enjoy it. Who would want to do something that feels like torture? Not me, and I don't think for you either.

My big question to you is: What are you doing to make your workout time enjoyable? Join an adult sports league? Start your own exercise group? Join a new gym? Set up a home gym? Find a workout partner? There are so many choices.

Be sure to try the different options out there and narrow down which activity you would enjoy best. Then, exercise will never have to be a drag.

Group B Strep Can Bring About Meningitis In Newborns by Joseph Hernandez


Group B Strep is the major common source of sepsis and meningitis (a severe illness of the fluid of the spinal cord and the fluid surrounding the brain) in infants. Group B Strep is a bacterial infection that may affect a newborn if the mother is is colonized with the bacteria and passes it to her baby during childbirth.

The bacteria normally takes hold in the vagina and/or the lower intestine. It is found in about 1 out of every 4 adult women. However, it often does not cause an active infection or result in symptoms. Passing of the bacteria from expecting mother to the child typically happens in the course of labor and delivery. The baby might be exposed to group b strep, for instance, if the bacteria moves up from the mother's vagina into the uterus after the membranes (bag of water) break. The newborn may likewise be exposed to GBS when passing down through the birth canal. During this time period, the infant can consume or breathe in the bacteria.

About seventy five percent of instances of Group b strep in babies happen during the seven days of life, and the majority appear inside of a few hours following birth. This is called "early onset" group b strep. The rest develop a GBS infection at anytime from one week to several months after delivery. This is called as "late onset" disease. In general, approximately 50% of instances of late onset can be related to the newborn's mother having been colonized with the bacteria. In the other situations of late onset, the origin of the infection is unknown.

After the newborn comes into contact with the bacteria, it can enter the newborn's bloodstream. This can bring about sepsis (overwhelming infection throughout the body), pneumonia, or meningitis. They are all serious illnesses which can advance rapidly and leave the infant with lifelong disabilities or might bring about the baby’s death. Various typical possible disabilities are: brain damage, cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, and seizures.

The most common symptoms of meningitis include: a high fever, lethargy, unusual irritability, trouble feeding, stiffness, vomiting, and rashes. Because the infection can advance quickly quick treatment is needed to prevent significant harm to the child. For bacterial based meningitis (like that caused by Group B Strep), treatment requires the speedy administration of intravenous IV and antibiotics. A diagnosis of meningitis is established by taking a sample of spinal fluid from a spinal tap and growing the bacteria for proper identification. This is important in order to identify the correct antibiotic for use. The results of the test normally requires several hours. In the time it takes for the results, the infection could cause permanent injury or kill the newborn. Given the immediacy required, treatment normally commences before there is a confirmed diagnosis if meningitis is a possible explanation for the baby's symptoms. Penicillin is the most commonly used treatment.

If a newborn died or suffers from irreversible disabilities that were avoidable except for the failure on the part of a physician to diagnose GBS meningitis or to give immediate treatment that doctor may be liable for malpractice. Parents of children thus injured by GBS meningitis need to consult with a lawyer experienced in birth injury lawsuits without delay because the law permits only a limited amount of time to pursue a birth injury case.

What Is The Body Contouring Procedure by Dave Stringham


The term: 'body contouring' gives the impression of the human body as a lump of clay that the 'artistic' plastic surgeon sculpts it into a work of fine art - like Michelangelo's David, perhaps. Very few plastic surgeons are artists in the generally accepted meaning of the word - despite self-indulgent posturing, marketing hype and the occasional art creation. The sad truth is that we are dealing with a pre-existing musculoskeletal structure and skin envelope that we can only alter in well-defined and limited ways. We do not have a free-handed liberty to shape the body into whatever form the patient desires.

Body contouring is therefore a misleading term that includes such procedures as liposuction (foolishly and even more misleadingly rendered 'liposculpture' by those with artistic pretensions); excisional surgery after weight loss; body, leg, breast and arm lifts; abdominoplasty and fat injection.

Liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy, liposculpture, suction lipectomy) can remove unsightly bulges of fat from areas where there is a disproportionate amount of it. It has become the most common aesthetic surgery procedure performed in the United States, and is highly effective in the right circumstances. The surgery itself leaves tiny scars. However, if large amounts of fat require removal and if the skin tone is poor - for example, after massive weight loss - the results are frequently disappointing. The loose skin, now unsupported by fat, becomes looser, taking on ripples at best; and, at worst, hanging in folds.

Body contouring involves dealing with the loose skin by removing it and thereby tightening that which remains. Since long incisions are necessary, the scars are more prominent than with liposuction, but are hidden - as far as possible - in inconspicuous places. For example, in arm reductions (batwing correction, brachioplasty) the scar is placed in the armpit or down the inside of the upper arm; in thigh lifts, the scar is located in the groin crease or down the inside of the thigh; in lower body lifts, the scar is sited within the bikini line, and with breast lifts, the scar is positioned around the nipple-areola complex and on the undersurface of the breast.

People who experience massive weight loss, be it from gastric bypass, banding or dieting alone, experience wildly different patterns of skin redundancy. Like all sensible plastic surgery, the techniques used, their combination and their staging have to be individualized to the patient and his or her physical condition. At your initial consultation, I will take a detailed history and perform a thorough examination with the object of finding out your aims, determining what combination of procedures would best satisfy them and ensuring that any pre-existing medical conditions may be appropriately managed to minimize risk at the time of surgery. You will have ample time to ask questions and discuss your options in a professional yet friendly environment.

Finally, if you are ever sitting in a plastic surgery office and you glimpse a bronze cast of the 'artist's' hands, take my advice and head for the door.

Get That Stomach Pain to Go Away by Justin Hoopes


A stomach ache is one of the most annoying things to deal with, especially when you have bigger things in life to worry about. So here lies the time old question “How do I cure my stomach ache fast and prevent it from coming back?” There are three different ways to treat that annoying ache in your stomach. Many people look to home remedies first, over-the-counter second, and then prevention last.

A few home remedies you can use are certain exercises. For example; try lying on your back with your feet higher than the rest of your body. Use a chair, pillows, or the couch to prop them up. After you are in this position put warm wash cloth on your stomach. The heat will help calm the cramping in your stomach.

You can also try certain herbs like: Peppermint Tea, Ginger Ale, Aloe Vera Juice, or Fennel Seed. These herbs act as an anti-parasitic to help with digestion. Saltine crackers are the most popular choice for an upset stomach. Most of the time a stomach ache is caused by too much acid in the stomach, and crackers help absorb these acids. Sipping on ice or warm water can also help water down acid build up in the stomach.

You will want to try to stay away from milk and other dairy products. They can sometimes make stomach problems worse by thickening up the stomach acid. You also want to steer clear of spicy foods, rich desserts, greasy foods, and energy drinks until your stomach gets better.

Over-the-counter drugs that will help with a stomach ache are Gas-ex, Pepto Bismol, and Zantac can help reduce stomach pains. These types of drugs relieve the pressure that gas can cause. They also can help cure other stomach related pains such as bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn. Be sure you don’t have an ulcer though. For these drug can tend to make stomach pain worse if it is an ulcer.

A good way to prevent stomach pain is to know what foods upset your stomach and those that don’t. Try to keep a log of the things that upset your stomach so you know what to stay away from. Many people with stomach issues tend to be lactose intolerant. If this is your case be sure you are staying away from cheese, milk, yogurt, ice cream, and milk chocolate. Over eating processed food can trigger a lot of stomach pains. Processed food is made up of high amounts of sodium, and non-soluble fiber which can be very harsh on your stomach.

Try taking into account that you may be stressed. Stress can cause stomach acid to build up and cause you pain. So stay clear of stress when possible. The main thing is to not think about your stomach so much and you body will kick in to prevent a stomach ache as much as it can.

But eating the right foods, using the correct over-the-counter drugs, and preventing a stomach ache will ensure you to have a pain free life, and will allow you to focus on the more important things.

However, make certain that these items are natural if you need to receive the most effective belly fat fat loss treatment. These food products will wipe out the stomach fat from your abdomen when packaged with the correct work out plan!
