Losing Weight Naturally – The Honest Truth About Cardio… by Peter Kirwan

Any exercise is better than none at all, right? Well that saying is basically very true but it also needs to be said that there are some types of exercise that contribute to losing weight naturally and effectively a whole lot better than some others.

Cardiovascular (cardio) or aerobic exercises, are acknowledged as and have been proved many times over to be tops with regard to serious fat-burning weight-loss.

This particular type of exercise includes a substantial group of exercises that increases your heart rate and makes you work up a sweat i.e., brisk walks, jogging, sprinting, cycling, swimming and of course aerobics.

To put it simply, you burn away heaps of calories including all those calories that are stored in the fat that caused your excess weight - which of course is the exact reason for doing this type of exercise!

Everybody needing to lose weight knows for a fact that they must do some type of aerobic exercise but most have no experience and again because of misinformation will have no idea where and how they ought to commence, which is always frustrating and discouraging.

As you can see from the details written here, there are plenty of options and they're all dependant on your level of fitness when you start practising your chosen aerobic exercise. Just start gently and lightly at your own comfortable pace and then gradually build up the intensity level over a reasonable time. You need your exercise to become a fat-burning challenge!

Now if you've been living a seriously sedentary life-style then you'll probably want to begin with some increasingly brisk walks before building up to a gentle but short sprint and so on. I'm sure you get the picture.

Whichever aerobic exercise type you pick, keep it regular and routine for 5 to 6 days a week and ensure each fat-burning weight-dropping session lasts for a minimum of at least 20 minutes. You don't need to squander masses of time at it for it to be successful but you do have to be consistent and habitual about your routine.

I personally always finish my aerobic work-outs in no more than 20 minutes. Along with my every-other-day free-weight training sessions of 35-40 minutes, i ensure that I'm not taking too much valuable time out of my day and so I never get bored or tired.

It has been 100 per cent proven that cardiovascular exercise - that's exercise for the heart and lungs, is vital to fat-burning weight-loss as well as your vital good health. It works, so get started and you will quickly reap the rewards for your efforts.

For sure, you're going to find it tough going at first but once you get through the first two weeks or so, you won't be able to get through your day without it - it must and will form an important part of your daily routine!

In summary; even though you're bound to find your aerobic sessions a little tough at first, you'll very quickly get to a position where your day isn't complete without it. Focus, set your targets and stick to them.

Natural, speedy, and permanent weight-loss isn't and has never been about overly complicated dieting systems and/or poisonous diet pills - it's all about simplicity, a little bit of will-power and some genuine tried and tested weight-loss knowledge.

Losing Weight Naturally – How To Diarize Your Achievements… by Peter Kirwan

A lot of people will probably think that a weight-loss diary is just an unnecessary time-consuming waste but it really isn't at all. It can be truly beneficial to those who want to take clear step-by-step planned action for losing weight naturally while blocking out all the confusing and contradictory information that's floating around.

We're all different of course, but for a number of of us keeping a diary could actually be a straightforward way of helping to get shot of that superfluous ugly and unneeded weight.

Every day all kinds of people everywhere are needing a weight-loss program but don't know where to start or believe they're too busy, so end up doing nothing - a diary can grow to be a very powerful knowledge base and a serious motivational tool.

Recording details in a daily diary is obviously a routine thing and is a responsibility that's felt by many people to be a waste of time, but it really only takes a very brief time and it can be real supportive to know things such as; your every day calorie or food intake, an exact account of the exercise you performed - so you know exactly how far you can expand your goals tomorrow!

Other typical recordings would be your weight and waist size etc. The motivation caused by seeing these measurements each day can be extraordinary as they get smaller.

It can be of great value when seen as the powerful tool it seriously is

The real strength of a weight-loss diary is that it quickly develops into a big and experience-based data-base of printed knowledge that plainly shows the gains (or losses if you like) that you're making for the period of your weight loss program, which is an unsurpassed tool for goal setting or re-setting and the overall craving for better results.

It's totally your decision whether or not you keep a diary, after all some people are very proficient at recording and keeping stock of their achievements without the need to put pen to paper but plenty of other people are simply not capable of relying on memory alone and very often end up utterly confused about what they've already completed and what they should be doing after that.

They really should help themselves by optimizing their weight-dropping efforts and record all the details involved!

To summarize; if it helps your attempt to lose unwanted weight effectively and easily, why not use a diary? Focus, set your targets and stick to them.

Natural, speedy, and permanent weight-loss isn't and has never been about overly complicated dieting systems and/or poisonous diet pills - it's all about simplicity, a little bit of will-power and some genuine tried and tested weight-loss knowledge.

Losing Weight Naturally – 4 Helpful Weight Losing Eating Habits… by Peter Kirwan

A very often unrealized or even totally ignored contribution to weight-loss frustration and failure is bad eating habits. It isn't just what you eat but also how and when you eat that plays a significant role in your efforts of speedily losing weight naturally and effectively.

The facts are painfully obvious, you need to burn away stored bodily fat by exercising and you also need to eat less of the unsuitable kind of food and ensuing calories to be able to slow down and ultimately halt the effect of fat storage in the body.

Check out these few do's and dont's for better weight reducing eating habits;

Use fruit and nuts as in-between-meal snacks

Keep away from all the overly-sugared or overly-fat containing type munchies you might normally crave, grab a good fresh apple and/or a handful of walnuts or almonds. The fruit contains wonderful energy giving and health improving nutrients, while the nuts contain good 'healthy' fats that the body needs.

You'll also cut down on calories and introduce vital anti-oxidants into your system.

Drink plenty of water

Everybody needs water, it's as simple as that. It'll help you stay comfortably hydrated, it'll help to flush out the toxins trapped in your liver and it'll give you a feeling of fullness which in turn should prevent untimely hunger pangs.

Eat small meals often

4, 5 or even 6 small meals eaten through the day actually prevents you from overeating as you stay fuller longer, plus your body will metabolize and burn off your calorie intake at a much more optimum rate.

Eating only 1 or 2 meals each day is really not conducive to your good health because the gap between each meal tends to be too long, you feel ravenous at mealtime and you end up shovelling more in you than is needed or necessary.

Don't eat right before you go to bed

Your final full meal should be finished a good 3 to 4 hours ahead of your bedtime. You need to make sure your body has had appropriate time to use up the energy (the calories) that you've consumed.

If you sincerely need that late night snack, be sure to keep it light, low fat, low protein and sugar free because a night of very little sleep caused by undigested, gas producing, heart-burn creating food will wreak havoc with your following day weight-dropping routine - your bed partner probably isn't going to be too ecstatic about the after effects of your late night eating either!

In summary; these habits do play an influential role. It's easier than you think to be able get yourself into great shape and stay that way. Just focus, set your targets and stick to them.

Natural, speedy, and permanent weight-loss isn't and has never been about overly complicated dieting systems and/or poisonous diet pills - it's all about simplicity, a bit of will-power and some genuine tried and tested weight-loss knowledge.

Losing Weight Naturally – Top Tips For Developing Killer Legs… by Peter Kirwan

Your thighs are another large muscle area that just like your abdomen area, can very easily turn to soft flab, which of course will have a negative effect on your overall strength and health. They very definitely need to form part of your overall plan for effectively losing weight naturally and permanently.

In fact it's probably your inner-thigh muscles that are mostly ignored and you'll discover that even if people do a few good leg exercises on a regular basis they often still retain soft un-toned inner-thighs.

To recap for just a moment; a thigh is not just one large muscle but a collective group of smaller muscles working down there, so whilst you do exercises like walking or running or even squats you're merely targeting particular individual muscles which still leave your inner-thighs in need of some additional specific and targeted fat-burning work out.

The best type of exercise for your thighs is one that covers a total range of individual muscles within that specific muscle group. That exercise is;

"The Forward Lunge"

The 'lunge' has a few good variations, including the reverse-lunge and the side-ways forward lunge but the straight-forward (pardon the unintended pun) and simple forward-lunge is the most commonly used and has a particularly significant effect on your inner-thighs without having to get too technical with the other lunge types.

Of course i'm saying 'simple' here but you will need to get used to lunges if you've not attempted them before. But it's like anything else you've ever done, practice makes perfect - they will get easier to execute as your inner-thighs strengthen and tone. After all this is exactly why we need to do them isn't it?

I also want to just mention that although this exercise alone will make a great job toward the toning and strengthening of your thighs, for real killer legs you ought to be combining lunges with other thigh exercises and weight-losing strategies. You'll then see much speedier results.

So what's a forward lunge anyway?

Well it's a slightly exaggerated step forward from a standing position. You stand straight, feet slightly apart as though waiting for a bus. You next take your one foot forward (don't over-step, just take a good sized step) and leisurely bend the forward leg at the knee so that the thigh of your back leg finishes parallel with the floor.

Return the forward foot back to its' previous spot while standing straight again and duplicate the process with your other foot - do as many repetitions as suits you or your exercise program.

You should feel your inner and outer thigh muscles being stretched and worked and then as your thighs get sturdier you can graduate up to doing them with dumb-bells in your hands.

In summary; the simplest weight loss systems, methods or programs constantly prove to be the most effective. It's a whole lot easier than you've been led to believe. So focus on your targets and stick with them.

Natural, speedy, healthy and permanent weight-loss isn't and has never been about overly complicated dieting systems and/or poisonous diet pills - it's all about simplicity, a bit of will-power and genuine weight-loss knowledge.

Natural Remedies For Internal Parasites by Nick Vassilev

A genuine conversation from last night (not over the dinner table, otherwise the reply would have been "Do we have to discuss this while we're eating?"). "Mummy, do people get worms?" "Yes, dear." "How do you get rid of them? Do you have to take the cat's worm pills?" "Umm...I'll have to find out."

Time for some research about natural remedies for treating internal parasites. Fortunately, people don't pick up internal worms too easily - the main way that you get them is through poor hygiene and not washing hands after possibly coming in contact with a bit of poo. In other words, wash your hands after playing with cats and dogs, after gardening or coming in contact with mud, and before you eat. You can also pick them up from eating improperly cooked pork (OK - stop that smug sniggering if you're Orthodox Jewish or Muslim and don't eat pork... or maybe you are entitled to a snicker or two).

How do you know you've got worms? Some of the classic symptoms are ravenous, constant hunger, with an itchy anus being the other. The constant hunger is because the worms live in your guts, which is where the body absorbs all its nutrients. Trouble is, the worms pinch the goodies first. So you feel hungry. This can lead to weight gain, but it can equally lead to weight loss. It is disgusting but true that deliberately acquiring tapeworms was once used as a weight loss method - reportedly, the opera singer Maria Callas was one who tried this method. Don't always assume tapeworms if you or someone you know is constantly hungry and eating but continually losing weight - if this is accompanied by perpetual thirst and needing to pee, then diabetes may be the problem instead.

If you suspect you have them or even if you might have them, then use a few natural remedies. The beauty about natural remedies is that you can take them even if you suspect you have them without having to swallow what, basically, is poison. I have to add that I haven't had to try these methods - good hygiene and not eating pork seems to keep me and my family worm-free in spite of owning two cats and a dog. Having a good immune system seems to play a part in keeping worms away. Our immune system seems pretty good at spotting and eliminating foreign bits and pieces at the cellular level, and does a good job at getting rid of larger invaders. So doing all the things you know you should be doing: plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, garlic, Vitamin C and exercise; don't smoke, get enough sleep, etc, etc.

You can also encourage a better class of organism to take up residence in your intestines. Some experts recommend taking probiotics and live yoghurt as a way of getting good gut health. It sounds easy enough to try, anyway.

Herbal teas are also widely used to combat internal parasites. The classic, as you might guess from the name, is wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). It works, but remember that wormwood is also a poetic term for bitterness and suffering. This is often used in conjunction with tinctures or teas made from walnut husks (the green pulpy bit around the nutshell itself). Clove oil is also sometimes added to the mixture. Other cures and treatments for intestinal worms include:

* pumpkin seeds, preferably raw.

* papaya and pineapple (they break down protein and may also break down the little beasts)

* turmeric and ginger' curry time!

* lots of dietary fibre - helps shove some types of worms out

* sage

* pine needles

Diet Programs And Meals - The Okinawa Diet by Levi Reiss

The Okinawa Diet was created by Makoto Suzuki. It is based on the nutritional habits of people who live in the Ryukyu Islands including the city of Okinawa in southern Japan. In the past these people had the longest life expectancy in the world. This is a long term or life long diet. You will eat 300 calories a day less than your caloric expenditure. Stop eating before you are full. 78% of your nourishment comes from vegetable sources. Privileged foods include rice, soy, and fish. Eat as little dairy products as possible. Here are some of the diet principles.

Eat about 80% of the food you feel you need. Eat low-calorie foods; these are foods that may contain the highest level of micronutrients. Eat seven or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Eat seven servings of legumes and grains daily. Eat two servings of soy daily. Eat algae; they include numerous minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Eat fish three times a day. Limit your consumption of animal products, replacing them with vegetable proteins. Drink very little alcohol but drink a small amount of red wine regularly. You should try to avoid sugar and salt such as in prepared foods. Drink a lot of water and tea.

The Okinawa Diet claims to reduce the risks of diabetes, excess cholesterol, cancer, and heart disease. It also claims to lower stress and fight against aging. This diet has the advantage of being easy to follow, unless you are a fan of salt or sugar. You may find yourself hungry.

Here are two sample menus:

Menu 1

Breakfast: A slice of carrot cake. A nectarine. Tea.

Lunch: A few sushi. Algae soup. Grated carrots. Tea.

Supper: Miso soup. A bowl of white rice. Cucumber salad. A banana. Tea.

Menu 2

Breakfast: A two-egg herb omelet. Two slices of bran bread. An apple. Tea.

Lunch: A lettuce, tomato, tofu, and endive sandwich on whole-grain bread. A bowl of rice. An orange. Tea.

Supper: Soy and carrot salad. A bowl of white rice. Curried lentils. A peach. Tea.

Some information in this article comes from a fascinating new book, La Bible des Regimes, written by Jenny de Jonquieres and published by Amerik Media. Her book describes over 80 diets and weight reduction programs. Each diet is presented with 5 menu plans, a detailed discussion of its advantages and disadvantages, and lots more. La Bible des Regimes is presently available only in French.

Ways to Prevent a Pterygium by Kathryn Dawson

First of all it is important to answer the question, what is a pterygium? This is quite a rare condition that not a huge number of people have generally heard of. A pterygium is a raised bit of tissue that develops and grows over the cornea. It looks like a yellowish bump on the white of the eye. It is much more common in hot or tropical climates where eyes are subjected to greater exposure to the sun, although it can also develop from exposure to UV light from tanning beds. Although the condition is not very serious, it can cause redness of the eyes and irritation. Sometimes vision can be impaired although this is only in the more serious of cases.

Treating the condition begins usually with a course of eye drops. Artificial tear drops can also be used which will may help rid the eye of the problem. If the pterygium begins to move and start to enter the cornea then action will need to be taken in the form of a quick and simple surgical procedure. Surgery is perfectly suited to treat this procedure. Taking just a few minutes, the eye can be free from the irritation and problems caused by this condition. There is a very short recovery period, usually a patient will be back at work the following day and the chances of problems arising or infections developing are rare.

The best way to prevent a pterygium occurring at all is to always make sure you wear sun glasses when out and about. Sunglasses are in fact a legitimate medical aid. UV light is extremely damaging to both the eyes and the skin, so covering both up is very important. Sunglasses and a hat is the ideal summer get up - the hat protects your skin which keeps cancer and wrinkles at bay, and the sunglasses protect the eyes well. Make sure you use glasses that have a good UVA and UVB protection promise however, as some cheap varieties do not provide adequate protection against the harmful rays. It is not the light that harms the eyes, it is the UV rays that become absorbed by the eye. The skin around the eye is particularly susceptible to skin cancer too as it is very thin and contains a high volume of blood vessels.

Many sunglasses do carry labels claiming they absorb 100% of UV rays, but this is not always actually true. Cheap sunglasses are generally cheap because they do not have the correct lenses that are needed to provide the protection against UV. It is also imperative that adequate eye protection is worn if you are using a sun bed. The intense amount of UV rays emitted by a sun bed can be extremely damaging to the eyes so eye goggles must be worn at all times.

Good eye care is important throughout your life. Although a pterygium may not be as serious as other eye problems, it does indicate your eyes have been damaged. This may mean that eye problems in the future are more likely. To prevent this happening to you, invest in a good quality pair of sunglasses from the optician if necessary and eat plenty of fruits and green vegetables for good overall eye health. Developing a pterygium doesn't necessary mean eye cataracts will develop or even that eye treatments will be needed, but it is best to avoid taking this risk. An optician will be able to advise you on the right type of sunglasses to buy. Bear in mind that cheap sunglasses found on the street are unlikely to provide the UV protection your eyes need for good health, and your eyes and sight are too important to put at risk.

How to Avoid Needing Dental Implants by Kathryn Dawson

Dental implants are an effective way dentists can restore missing teeth or teeth that are loose. The way the implants work is by implanting a titanium root into the gum and allowing it time to fuse with the bone in the mouth as if it were totally natural. This can take up to 6 months. Titanium is rarely rejected by the body which is why this material is used, and once it is solid a prosthetic tooth can be inserted or screwed into place. The tooth is created to match the others in the mouth making it very natural looking. No one who didn't know the tooth was artificial would be able to tell the difference.

This procedure is not the only way to fill in a gap in the mouth. You can also have removable dentures, however often people are not so keen to have these. It is also possible to have a fixed bridge, but because some of the enamel has to be worn away on the neighbouring teeth to have this done, it is also not as popular as dental implants. The trick with keeping all your teeth and having to avoid any type of surgery or implants is to look after your teeth properly. There is not too much you have to do, but like most things in life consistency is the key. This article provides the ways you need to look after your teeth in order to avoid having any serious work done, including dental implants.

Brush your teeth

This is a pretty obvious one, but still worth mentioning because sometimes people only brush their teeth in a half hearted way. Teeth should be brushed every morning and every evening. You shouldn't scrub away at them either, because this can wear away the enamel and the brush should be replaced every 3 months, maximum. When you are cleaning make sure you reach every single tooth in both the upper and lower part of the mouth. Repeatedly missing a tooth can stain it initially and create cavities too.

Use Mouthwash

Mouthwash is often used after you have cleaned your teeth for a final rinse. This is worthwhile, but it can also be a good idea to have an initial rinse too. Sometimes brushing can rub food into the tiny crevices of the teeth so having a very quick rinse to get rid of little bits of food that may be lurking can prevent it from getting mashed in. Just half a cap before and half a cup after in the morning and evening can ensure your teeth stay perfect for longer.

Avoid sugar

Unfortunately nothing rots teeth quicker than sugary food and drinks. Sugary drinks are the worst because they tend to be consumed throughout the day so your teeth never get a chance to recover from the onslaught. Eating a sugary chocolate bar all in one go is better for your teeth than slowly sipping away at a sugar filled drink. Try and avoid as much sugar as possible and be aware that even drinks like orange juice and other "healthy drinks" can be full of sugar too.

Don't Smoke

Smoking can cause your teeth damage because it can wear aware the bone and make the teeth become loose. This is often a cause of losing teeth in adults and can be why dental implants are needed. Ensuring good overall health by not smoking, avoiding excess alcohol and getting plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet can help you keep good, strong teeth for longer.

If you want to avoid having dental implants and tooth whitening later on in life then the advice above should be followed. It is always possible to improve your smile if you want to go one step further with professional teeth whitening - this will make them dazzle!

Zen in Recovery - Empty your Cup by Jane Derry

In Addiction Recovery it is said that you only need to change one thing, but that thing is everything. And everything is included in everything. Carl Jung stated that this recovery from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body must be a "complete ego deflation, followed by a profound personality change". Sounds simple enough doesn't it? Yep, very simple, but not very easy. How do you precisely, go about changing everything?

I'm going to answer that question in a famous little Zen Koan, but this little Zen Koan has itself undergone an unprofound personality change of its own. What I mean by that is, that I have adapted some of my favorite Koans, removing hard to pronounce ancient Japanese names, places and customs, substituting with modern Recovery circumstances.

Empty Your Cup

Sarah had almost finished her college diploma in Addiction Studies.

For her practicum, she needed to talk to an 'old timer' in a 12 Step Program, so she arranged to visit with Old Moe at the local Alano club.

While Old Moe was pouring coffee, Sarah talked about the 12 Step Program. Old Moe filled Sarah's cup to the brim, and kept pouring. Sarah watched her overflowing cup until she could no longer restrain herself. "It's overfull! No more will go in!" she blurted.

"You are like this cup," Old Moe replied, "How can I tell show you how AA works unless you first empty your cup?"

I don't think that Zen should really be explained, so I'll leave it at that.

Oh, one more thing, since we are talking about filling cups:

The pessimist sees the glass filled half- way, and says, "that glass is half empty".

The optimist sees the glass filled half- way, and says, "that glass is half full".

The alcoholic sees the glass filled half- way, and says, "are you going to finish that?"

Zen in Recovery - Ego by Jane Derry

Zen Koans have been used for a couple of thousand years or so to help people reach enlightenment. They are little stories or situations that were designed to make people pause, scratch their heads, and say, "what?"

I love using Zen Koans with the guests at our addiction recovery retreat, and they generally loved to be baffled by them. Sometimes though, I think (which is not condoned in Zen) that the ancient and hard to pronounce Japanese names and foreign customs serve to distract. A parable or teaching story works best by meeting people exactly where they are and with what they are familiar with. Jesus told stories about shepherds and sheep, while Lao Tzu spoke of Oxen and rice paddies. I've just brought some of our favorite Zen stories into Canadian culture in the 21st Century. Here is some Zen of Recovery, I hope you are scratching your head.

"EGO"

Bruce was fairly new to AA and sobriety, but he had been very successful in his business and active in his church. Bruce considered himself to be a humble and dedicated member of his new 12 Step Fellowship. Bruce scheduled regular meetings with his carefully chosen sponsor, Frank.

One day during their weekly visit, Bruce asked his sponsor, "What is 'ego', according to AA's spiritual principles?" Frank's face turned red, and in a very condescending and insulting tone of voice, he shot back, "What kind of stupid question is that!?"

This unexpected response so shocked Bruce, that he became sullen and angry. His sponsor then smiled and said, "That Bruce, is ego."

Snoring and Sleep Apnea by Gordie Guide

Snoring is an age-old problem and by itself is considered more of an annoyance than a major health threat. Sleep Apnea however is quite different and can be a potentially dangerous condition that requires proper diagnosis and treatment.

It is thought that 90 percent of people who suffer with Sleep Apnea are rarely aware of their condition and are only made aware by a family member who has witnessed an event.

Sleep Apnea is a characterized by pauses or blockages of breathing during sleep. The most common form is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and occurs when the muscles at the back of the throat collapse around the opening blocking the airways. This deprives the person of oxygen for several seconds up to a minute or longer.

The brain then becomes aware of the oxygen deprivation and sends out signals. This startles the person awake and breathing resumes usually with a gasping, gurgling or loud snoring sound.

The person generally falls back to sleep almost immediately, unaware of what has happened and this gasping and breathing cycle may be repeated several times every hour throughout the night. As a result sufferers experience restless sleep and may wake unrefreshed and fatigued. Other symptoms may include:

* Morning headaches

* Difficulty in concentrating and memory lapses

* Dry mouth on waking

* Tiredness and irritability during the day often associated with depression and mood swings

There are generally no symptoms that are visible during a doctor's visit and no blood tests to confirm Sleep Apnea. A diagnosis will initially be based on family history, the sleep patterns, observations by family members and other predisposing conditions.

The most reliable basis for diagnosis is a polysomnogram which is performed in a Sleep Clinic. This is a scan that will monitor brain activity, oxygen levels, breathing, heart rate and muscular activity during sleep. It is non-invasive and simply requires sensors to be attached to the scalp and limbs during sleep.

The most common cause of OSA is obesity and is more common among men than women. The Elderly are more prone than younger individuals. High blood pressure and smoking also increase the risk of sleep apnea.

The severity varies considerably from person to person. At the mild end of the spectrum interruptions to breathing may occur up to five times per hour whereas in severe cases more than 30 interruptions per hour may occur. During each of these episodes oxygen levels in the blood drop resulting in elevated levels of stress hormones. This may lead to increased risk of high blood pressure and stroke.

There is no medication for Sleep Apnea. However, there are several approaches to treatment, one of the most important being lifestyle changes. Losing weight generally leads to improvement in symptoms. Avoiding alcohol or other sleep inducing drugs may help keep the throat muscles firm and reduce symptoms.

Surgery may be considered depending on if excess tissue, enlarged tonsils and adenoids are thought to be the cause.

OSA is also commonly treated with a mouthpiece or oral appliance which is worn in the mouth during sleep and helps to keep the airways open.

Another method is the use of a Constant Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP) device. This involves wearing a mask over nose and mouth in which air from a portable oxygen tank is gently blown into airways. This constant pressure helps to keep the airways open.

Sleep Apnea is a serious condition that could have major long term health consequences. Since it only occurs when a person is asleep it may go untreated for a long period of time however once diagnosed, there are many options and treatment plans available for success.

It’s Never Been Easier to Reap the Benefits of Healthy Eating by Anita Lyon

Converting to a health food shop is probably one of the most important switches you could make. The world has changed, and people's perception of healthy eating has followed suit. We have seen the affects or poor eating decisions by the increase of disease, health problems and the rise of obesity worldwide. Although there are still a lot of people stuck the old rut, there is a positive change toward living healthy.

The fast food outlet boom has now been rivalled by the healthy food outlets.

Do You Have a Sleep Debt? by Gordie Guide

If you have trouble sleeping, you may be accumulating a debt that is difficult to pay back - a sleep debt. According to the National Sleep Foundation roughly 6 out of 10 people in the United States suffers from problems getting a restful night of sleep.

There are many variables when it comes to lack of sleep but surprisingly sleep disorders have become common place today and the following are the top 3 front runners.

Insomnia

When you are unable to fall asleep, wake up frequently or have difficulty staying asleep you may be suffering from insomnia. You may only have one symptom or a combination of all three. Unfortunately this type of poor quality sleep is surprisingly common and studies have shown that women are more often affected by this than men.

Lifestyle-related

If you lead hectic lifestyle with work demands, an over-active social life and family responsibilities, this can add to your stress level. The additional stress will in all likelihood impact your sleep and this can very quickly become a cycle that is often difficult to break.

Sleep apnea

This is a chronic medical condition resulting in obstructed or blocked air passages. The inability to breath properly while sleeping can lead to loud snoring and the actual cessation of breathing, often a dozen times per night. This not only leads to sleep deprivation but also branches into the potential of additional serious health concerns.

With the increase of sleep-related disorders in society today, the usage of sleep aid or prescription sleeping pills is on the rise. However using these medications carry their own risks: a drugged feeling causing next day drowsiness and difficulty with concentration.

Then there is the psychological dependency of being unable to sleep without aid, as well as the physical side effects including anxiety, memory problems, and potential drug interactions.

There may be times in our lives where prescription sleep aids may be necessary for a short term period. But there are also many other simple strategies that you can incorporate into your night time routine to help you get to sleep... and stay asleep. With time you may be able to get your sleep debt back in control without medication.

*Keep your evening calm and don't engage in mentally stimulating activity before bed. Leave the latest thriller for the daytime hours.

*Keep your bedroom as dark as possible - this helps regulate the hormone responsible for sleeping and waking. Turn or cover your clock so you can't see the numbers.

*If possible keep your pets out of your bedroom.

*Never go to bed hungry. Eat a small snack, preferably one with protein.

*Keep your exercise routine for early in the day. Try some gentle Yoga poses for a quiet wind down before getting into bed.

*Keep a regular schedule of sleeping and waking.

*Make sure you have regular checkups and talk with your doctor about depression which is a common cause of sleep problems.

*Avoid caffeine and alcohol, within 6 hours of bedtime.

*Don't take naps during the day.

*If you find you wake up to use the bathroom, stop your liquid intake at least 2 hours before bedtime.

Carrying a sleep debt is a serious problem. Frighteningly, a 2002 National Sleep Foundation poll found that 14 million people reported actually falling asleep at the wheel during the last year. Today, driving while sleep deprived is now classified as Impaired driving can place both you and other people at risk as well as ruin your driving record.

If you have been having trouble sleeping talk to your doctor and explore your options. You may be depressed or experiencing an underlying medical condition you are unaware of. Don't let your long term health suffer by ignoring your sleep debt until it becomes too late to repay.

Common Sense Tips to Help Stop Snoring by Gordie Guide

The majority of us have been guilty of snoring at one time or another. Though it can be a serious problem for some, most of us fall into the category of the occasional snorer.

Here are a few tips that may help you to stop snoring naturally with just a few minor adjustments to your nightly routine.

Retraining - Avoid breathing through the your mouth. An open mouth drops the jaw and once this happens the tongue recedes into the mouth. As soon as you catch yourself breathing through your mouth start breathing through your nose. This will help to unconsciously train your body to do this automatically.

Positions - An early tool for preventing snoring was a simple tennis ball sewn into the back of a pajama top. When you rolled over onto the ball it became uncomfortable and you immediately turned back to your side. You can certainly try this route or instead try pillows. Sleep on your side with a pillow between your legs and one placed behind your back. This position keeps you on your side and allows your mouth to stay closed reducing your chances of snoring.

Moisture - Lubricate your nasal passage. If you have a cold or suffer with allergies keep your nose and throat lubricated. Throat sprays can help to put moisture into your throat and keeping a humidifier by your bed will keep your airway moist and your nasal passages clear.

Nasal Strips - Using a Nasal Separator. Separating the nostrils with a nasal separator is another effective treatment by opening and separating the nostrils for more airflow. They are inexpensive and are readily available for adults and even for children.

Routine - Establish a regular sleep regimen. When you become over tired or carry a sleep debt your ability to have a restful sleep diminishes. When this happens, your deep sleep becomes irregular and if already susceptible, your snoring will intensify.

Alcohol - Stop drinking alcohol before bed. A partial collapse of the airway occurs when the throat muscles are are relaxed. This creates an airflow blockage and snoring will often begin.

Smoking - Smoking changes the structure of your nasal cells which causes swelling of the air passages and the production of mucus in the nose. With clogged passages air cannot move freely. Smoking has also been attributed to causing sleep apnea which is a severe form of snoring requiring medical intervention.

Weight - Weight loss can also greatly reduce or even eliminate snoring. The less flesh surrounding your throat, the easier for air to flow.

While losing weight, drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes may be habits you might not want to forgo, your symptoms will certainly reduce as your overall health improves.

The bottom line is if you have nasal congestion, take a decongestant. If you have allergies, treat them. And stay away from sleeping pills or anything that relaxes your muscles too much.

As is most things in life, there isn't a one size fits all approach to treat occasional snoring. With a little time, effort and some minor retraining you will eventually find what works for you.

Information To Help You Buy Testosterone Supplements by Rudy Silva

Testosterone supplements are formulated to convey the benefits of the finest herbs and some nutrients in stimulating the production of male hormones in the body. Besides the menopausal women, men are supplementing with testosterone for various reasons.

Basically, the testosterone is responsible for several functions in men. This includes the development of their penis, muscles and body hair. Their sex drive is also influenced by testosterone.

Generally, men are what they are because of their male hormones. It is for this reason why men perceive life the way they do or why their logic is different from women.

Besides the development of muscles, the male hormones are also helpful in preventing heart disease.

Many may seem to confuse why men still supplement on hormones when they already have them in their own body. The truth is, at times, men do not have enough testosterone. This is especially true for people at their 30s, the production of their hormones tend to curb down.

According to a study, about 1% of testosterone is diminished after the age of 30. Each year added to that stage, a fraction of male hormone production is reduced. The older they grow, the lesser they produce hormones in their testes. Thus muscle growth is consequently retarded.

The reduced amount of testosterone in the body can result in low libido, weak muscles and bones, weight gain particularly around the waist, erectile dysfunction, and irritable behavior. Supplementing on this hormone helps to replace the old ones or at least be able to supply for the deficiency.

In some cases, even before men reach their 30s, the production of male hormones is disrupted by particular hormonal diseases.

Because it is helpful in the development of muscles, men who are elderly or aging are taking testosterone supplements to defy the aging process, or at least, delay it.

Men who are into bodybuilding program are taking the hormone supplement to help increase the muscle mass in substantial amount. It is also instrumental in repairing the strained and damage muscles. Hence, men can become sturdier, leaner, and more athletic. If you visit any gym, the fitness consultant would recommend this supplement if you plan on building your muscles.

In addition, men who have adequate production of male hormones are better at math. They also have better memories. Their mental pressure is relieved, and they have more energy. Many people attest to a rapid movement when they have supplemented on the male hormone.

It is not a wonder why medical scientists have devised the testosterone replacement therapy. In this approach, even the menopausal women can benefit. The objective of this therapy is to restore the testosterone levels to that similar to youths and attain optimal health and well-being.

Whether you have a low testosterone level or want to achieve optimal health, it is best to consult your healthcare provider on which supplement is best for you. There are testosterone injections and pills. There are even herbal types of hormone supplements.

Fibromyalgia - The Simple Facts by Anita Lyon

Fibromyalgia is an oft misdiagnosed and generally misunderstood ailment which has a rather diverse set of symptoms, none of which are particularly pleasant. During my research period in preparation for this article I noticed a great deal of inconsistencies regarding the purported “facts” regarding the causes, symptoms and statistics of this syndrome/disease/disorder. Let’s see if we can’t separate opinion and agenda from actual fact.

Theories on Causes

First and foremost no one really knows what causes it. There are numerous studies underway by reputable medical organisations (such as the Nation Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases - NIAMS) which are geared towards establishing, once and for all, the scientific route cause of Fibromyalgia. Numbered amongst the current scientific theories is the inherent genetic factor, but even in this it appears that geneticists are unclear as to which genes may be responsible. It is clear though that just because one of your parents has it, it doesn’t mean that you’ll be on the receiving end later.

Stress is another favourite factor to include on the “rap sheet” when you’re not sure what the cause is, but it could be a factor, if not the primary cause. Other hypothesizes include:

Hypodopaminergia - Which in short means you’re having trouble with your pain receptors.

Abnormal serotonin metabolism – Which means that your serotonin production or control is hampered somehow (Serotonin is a great thing. It makes you happy and also helps with controlling sleep, concentration and pain levels).

Psychological Status – Like stress, depression has a debilitating effect on the human immune system but it seems more logical that both stress and depression are natural symptoms of Fibromyalgia, rather than causes. After all, being in constant pain would make most people rather unhappy so let’s not waste time getting overly technical as too many sources do.

Physical trauma – Here we may be onto something which actually contributes to cause rather than effect. It seems to be generally agreed upon that physical injury (especially to the neck) has been a stable precursor to developing Fibromyalgia. I’m not going to try and quote percentages since, once again, sources differ too widely to be accurate. It does, however, make more sense that if a subject was inclined to (or was already) developing the syndrome, the impact would hasten this.

To mention it once more though, no one yet knows what the actual cause is and it’s entirely possible that a combination of these and other factors are responsible, rather than simply one or two of them.

Symptoms

Most people who read an article on this subject are already aware of the symptoms, because they or a loved one are a sufferer, but let’s go through some of them anyway. Unfortunately the two sensations most related to Fibromyalgia are pain and fatigue. Other indicators may include muscle spasms, weakness, muscle twitches, palpitations, cognitive fogs, joint aches (very much like arthritis), bowel issues and chronic sleep difficulties.

It sounds bad, and it is, but the good news is that if the cause isn’t yet curable then the symptoms are at least treatable. There are many homeopathic and chemical options for fatigue treatment as well as ranges for healthy pain medication. There are vitamin supplements and professional physical therapy classes (avoid chiropractors for now, until the syndrome is better understood) that, combined with the right medication, will give you back some quality of life again.

First and foremost if you’re exhibiting several of these symptoms then see you doctor and let him or her know of your suspicions. And if it turns out that you have developed the syndrome then remember that it’s not the end of your world, just the start of wiser management of it and everyday the experts are getting that much closer to a complete solution for Fibromyalgia.

Growing Your Own Herbs For Herbal Remedies by Nick Vassilev

If you've been interested in natural methods of running your household or in herbal remedies for everyday ailments, have you ever wondered how easy it would be to grow your own herbs so you can make your own tinctures and teas? Some folk think that it must be really easy, as every decent-sized household in days gone by used to have a stillroom and its herb garden. Other folk who don't feel particularly green-thumbed shudder at the prospect. So is growing your own medicinal herbs hard or easy?

The answer to this is "It depends." It depends on which herbs you're trying to grown and how these herbs are to be used. Let's take some extremes. You are probably not going to have much success growing guarana (a tropical vine) in your typical English garden, so this one isn't easy to grow, even though it's widely used in weight loss supplements. Lavender is much easier to grow in our climate - the strongly-scented variety of lavender is known as English lavender, after all - but few of us have the space needed to grow the quantities required for extracting and distilling the essential oil (if you have the space and the inclination, it makes a great cottage industry for small lifestyle blocks, though). But garlic is pretty straightforward to grow as well as being a potent herbal remedy.

And the real fun is that you can grow herbs at home organically instead of paying a premium for organic herbal supplements.

No matter what you try to grow, do your homework. Some herbs may be used medicinally and may be easy to grow, but you need to know which bit of the plant should be used and how to use it.

Foxgloves may be easy to grow and an extract from them may be used in heart medications (fact) but if you don't know how to extract the active principle properly, you could poison yourself horribly easily. The same goes with rhubarb: the root is used as a laxative and a hair dye, the stems are used in puddings and the leaves are horribly poisonous. So if in doubt, don't!

But some medicinal herbs are easy to grow:

Garlic. This needs to be planted in a well-drained soil. It makes a great companion plant to keep pests away from tomatoes (another natural living bonus). Plant individual cloves in midwinter and harvest them in midsummer. You can eat every part of the plant, but the cloves are the best part. Garlic is such a potent herb medicinally that you should inform your doctor that you are taking it - or even eating it raw on your pasta on a regular basis.

Aloe vera: This is more of an indoor plant in England but it grows well in a nice, sunny windowsill. Don't overwater it, as it is a desert plant. Use the gel inside the thick succulent leaves on the skin as an ointment for burns and other skin ailments or as a moisturiser, or eat the leaves as a laxative.

Apples: Not a herb, so much, but the fruit is certainly a good digestive aid (good for treating diarrhoea as well as constipation), as well as being a great source of vitamins and antioxidants. Apples grow on a tree, of course, and need a bit of space plus some regular pruning. Blackcurrants: Another medicinal fruit that's a great source of Vitamin C and antioxidants. Blackcurrants grow from cuttings and don't get too big, so they are suitable for suburban gardens. Birds don't seem to attack them too much - they don't have anywhere to perch while eating. Blackcurrants like a cooler climate and are deciduous.

Dandelion: Herbalists use this herb (or weed, depending on your perspective) as a diuretic and as a general cleanser, especially of the liver. Some people suggest that it can help ease PMS symptoms, particularly fluid retention. Notoriously easy to grow - you don't have to try too hard to get a lovely crop of dandelions in your garden. Both the leaves and the root are used medicinally as a tea.

Peppermint: All mints like growing in damp, shady areas. Peppermint is a digestive aid and to ease migranes and colds. We all know how good menthol (the essential oil of peppermint) is for nasal congestion. While you might not grow enough to make your own essential oil, it's easy enough to grow enough to make your own peppermint tea. Use the leaves dry or fresh.

White willow: Another tree that you might be able to fit into your garden. The inner bark is used as a natural form of aspirin. Willows of all varieties grow very readily from cuttings. Willow trees may even be too easy to grow once you've got them established - more than one gardener or tree surgeon has lamented that willow is next to impossible to get rid of.

What Cataract Surgery is Available? by Kathryn Dawson

The eyes are a very important part of our body, but just like everything else they can "age". Typically when eyes age the lens becomes opaque or cloudy which affects the person's overall sight. The cloudy lenses are called cataracts. The good news is that there are ways to prevent cataracts from developing and there are also ways to treat them once they have developed. This article discusses how to prevent them, how to slow them down and finally, how to treat them.

In order to make sure that you are not prone to cataracts as you age, you need to look after your health from the start. Although it may seem strange that getting plenty of exercise will help keep your eyes healthy and strong, it does. If you have a healthy body then this will impact all areas of it, including your eye health. This means you need to eat a diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables, lean white meat, fish and whole grains. For good eye health in your twilight years you need to say goodbye to junk food and fizzy drinks. Make sure in particular you stock up on carrots and leafy green vegetables like cabbage and kale. Although you may prefer to eat unhealthy food now, you will thank your lucky stars later on in life when you are free from ill health and poor eyesight.

Aside from diet, plenty of exercise is necessary. This means at least 30 minutes per day of gentle to moderate exercise. Whether it is pumping away at the gym or doing a spot of gardening, exercising regularly (ideally daily) is an important component of the health of our body. Research carried out also suggests that a variety of other lifestyle factors can affect the onslaught of cataracts. Smoking and drinking can cause cataracts to develop more quickly as can excessive uv exposure. Furthermore, when the eye is exposed to a trauma (such as a kick) this can cause cataracts to develop if there were not already present or worsen if they were already present. Anyone who has a family with a history of cataracts are also more susceptible to developing them, and even though they tend to occur in those aged 55 or over, young people can get them too. Anyone with diabetes or kidney disease should pay close attention to their eye health as they are particularly likely to contract problems such as cataracts.

If you do have cataracts then there is help at hand. You do not have to wait until your eyesight has completely gone either. Management of the condition can be done with glasses or contact lenses. This is the way many choose to deal with them. There are also effective eye drops available that may help. Ideally in order for medication such as this to work, the cataracts need to be diagnosed very early on in their development which means that regular eye check ups are essential.

There is a further step that can be taken to be rid of them altogether. Cataract surgery is quick and painless and can be carried out on an outpatient basis. Using ultrasound energy, the surgeon can make an incision on the surface of the eye and through this can remove the affected "cloudy" lens and replace it with an artificial one. This provides an instant return of sight to the patient.

There is no doubt that cataract surgery is extremely effective and can provide improved eyesight for those suffering from cataracts. The surgery can be carried out at your local eye hospital and is done by an ophthalmologist, a fully trained and licensed eye surgeon. It is quick and safe and the perfect solution for anyone wishing to be rid of cataracts for good.

Sweating Too Much: Educate Yourself About Your Problem And Take Control Of Your Body by James Druman

While you might feel completely alone and abnormal about your excessive sweating, 3% of the population has the same problem as you. In fact, many say it is a genetic disposition that they share with other family members. But when you are always the person in the room drenched in sweat while everyone else is coolly and confidently going about their day, being part of the 3% of people who suffer from hyperhidrosis is no consolation.

As you probably realize, under normal conditions, sweating is a completely natural process we use to regulate our body temperature. While many other creatures in the animal kingdom will use natural insulation or panting, we use evaporating sweat to adjust to warm environments. Sweating is also a way to retain moisture in our skin, make us more slippery and hard to hold on to when anxious, and as a delivery mechanism for pheromones that contribute to nonverbal communication that escapes our conscious attention. In fact, the chemical composition of sweat is even designed to kill bacteria on the skin.

So, it's obvious that we need our sweat. But the problem occurs when we sweat so excessively that it begins to affect our social lives, leaving us in a state of physical discomfort and low confidence. Whether highly self conscious every time you step in a room where you have to remove your smelly shoes or the only one with sweat dripping from their hair in a crowded room, it's a problem that permeates every aspect of our lives and how we feel about ourselves. You may even find yourself avoiding social situations, especially the types that involve the opposite sex. Basically, if you sweat more than you need to in order to keep your body at the right temperature, you have a problem with excessive sweating—otherwise known as hyperhidrosis. It commonly manifests in your armpits, on your hands, on your feet, or sometimes even on your face. In many cases, all it takes is a tiny bit of temperature increase to get your pores working, but it can often be triggered by anxiety, health problems, or certain medications as well.

Fortunately, there are cures—you just need to educate yourself about what is available and which is the best solution for solving your problem because every sufferer is different. Common treatments these days include specialized deodorants, iontophoresis, Botox, surgery, oral medications, surgical tumescent liposuction, or sometimes even simple lifestyle changes. These lifestyle changes may have to do with drugs you are taking, food you eat, or just your hygiene practices. So, by educating yourself about hyperhidrosis and it's causes, you can get down to the bottom of what is causing your problem and do something about it—by finding a solution that works for you.

And when you take care of this unfortunate problem, it really can transform your life. People who have found a way to curb their excessive sweating report feeling much more sure of themselves and less uncomfortable around the opposite sex. Before, being close with someone else only caused anxiety out of feelings about the smell and feel of their skin, and this anxiety often exacerbated the problem. So, for many, overcoming problems with sweating makes them feel like a whole new person and gives them the freedom to focus on living.

Hand Held Pulse Oximeter Technology Allows Physicians To Treat Patients On The Go by Jacob Walters

Physicians have always wanted a medical and health device that they can utilize to monitor the pulse rate and blood oxygen levels of individuals and patients while the physician is on the go. The device that offers this feature of measuring pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation is a pulse oximeter. A pulse oximeter is a medical and health device that measures pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation with accuracy and ease. The patient simply places their finger inside the oximeter device and within seconds the device is able to calculate the SpO2 and pulse rate and thus provide a reading of these vital signs. In turn, the physician will use this information in order to determine whether the patient is functioning at optimal health or whether the physician needs to provide extra care. The hospital and office setting where the physicians typically practice have always had pulse oximeter devices. However, these devices were very large and immobile. Typically you would have to purchase one device for each room as they were not able to be moved from one patient room to another easily. However this has not changed with the advent of new chip technology that allows for portable pulse oximeter use that can be taken anywhere easily.

The large oximeter devices have totally changed for the better in respect to physicians. These individuals were never able to move easily from one patient room to another and also measure the vital signs of patients. However, with these new portable devices the physician can see one patient in one room and quickly move to another room and measure the vital signs of that other patient. From an economical standpoint, the physician doesn’t need to purchase an expensive, immobile pulse oximeter device that would need to be bought for each room. Instead, the physician purchases a portable pulse oximeter that is not only a fraction of the cost of the standard oximeter device, but it also has the same level of accuracy and quality. The hospital setting is also a great place where physicians can utilize a hand held pulse oximeter. As the doctor needs to attend to multiple patients in different patient rooms they will be able to take their oximeter device with them to each room that they go to and monitor the vital signs of patients. They simply take the device and have the patient place their finger inside the probe of the device whereby a reading of their vitals signs is taken. From this reading the doctor is able to determine the level of health of the individual and what actions need to be taken to restore the individual health. These devices are typically powered by power outlets as they were traditionally only used in the hospital room settings. However, since they became portable and wireless devices the main power source has become battery power. Battery power allows the physicians the ease of moving seamlessly from one patient room to another without having to worry about wires.

Pulse Oximeter Use With Lanyards Allows For Vital Sign Monitoring While On The Go by Jacob Walters

Lanyards may not be a technologically advanced concept, but they do however play a key role in the use of a pulse oximeter. A pulse oximeter is a medical and health device that is used by many different individuals to monitor their pulse rate as well as blood oxygen saturation. You may asking what is blood oxygen saturation. Well, oxygen saturation is also known as SpO2 and is better known as the percentage of oxygen in the blood. This is a very important number that determines the health of an individual who have very specific health conditions. One health condition in particular is COPD. This condition is better known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder which is in particular a lung illness that will not allow the body to get enough oxygen. As oxygen is the most essential element to life, COPD is a specially dangerous health condition as it directly effects the level of oxygen that is absorbed by the body and thus can cause many different and ill health conditions. Apulse oximeter is a great tool to utilize in order to monitor the oxygen levels of an individual with COPD or any other respiratory conditions in order to make sure that the person is functioning at optimal health. Well, individuals on the average are quite mobile and they tend to not stay in one place. They may go from their home to work, the gym, or even to go on a trip and as such they need to take their oximeter device with them in order to monitor their health wherever they go.

The issue that arises is that the oximeter device although mobile can be dropped and depending on the elevation from which it is dropped this can seriously damage the oximeter device and thus make it so that it may no longer function properly. As such lanyards play a very important part in preventing such a thing from happening. A lanyard is a thread-like string that is very strong that attaches to an oximeter. Once it is attached to the oximeter you can then put the lanyard around your neck and as such you can take the device with you wherever you desire to go. By using a lanyard in order to secure the oximeter, you can rest assured that it will not be dropped and damaged as a result of an accidental drop. Most pulse oximeter distributors provide a lanyard that comes with the device and will allow you to comfortably take the oximeter device wherever you like without the fear of dropping it. One place in particular where you may definitely need a pulse oximeter is while mountain climbing. Individuals with various health conditions need to monitor their pulse rate and oxygen levels while they are mountain climbing and as such the pulse oximeter provides them with such a monitoring. However, as they are operating on rough terrain at altitudes it is especially important that they use a lanyard to secure the oximeter device so that it does not get damaged inadvertently

Pulse Oximeter Technology Use By Pilots To Prevent Hypoxia by Jacob Walters

Hypoxia is a very serious health condition that requires careful monitoring and diagnosis. What actually occurs during hypoxia is that specific parts of the human body do not get enough oxygen and as a result serious complications can occur because of that. As oxygen is truly the most important aspect to life, the lack thereof can not only be unhealthy but downright dangerous. Individuals that face the threat of hypoxia on a continuous basis are actually pilots. Pilots serve our society in many ways from military, commercial aviation, to even private pilots who enjoy flying for sport or hobby. However, pilots at most times are operating at extreme high altitudes in locations where oxygen levels are very low. Due to the oxygen levels being so low these individuals are always at the risk of experiencing hypoxia. So how do these individuals actually monitor their oxygen levels in order to prevent such an illness? Well, only one medical and health device provides the answer to this and that is a pulse oximeter.

A Pulse oximeter is the most important and necessary tool for a pilot to utilize while operating at extreme high altitutdes in order to prevent hypoxia. The way the device works is that it measures the pulse rate and oxygen levels of individuals quickly and effectively. The pilot simply inserts their finger inside the device and within seconds they get a reading of their oxygen levels and based on that number they are able to determine if they are at the risk of experiencing hypoxia. Should they be at that risk the pilot will know immediately that they need to get supplemental oxygen and as such their response time is absolutely critical for continued healthy functioning. Many times pilots ignore the risks associated with flying at high altitudes with very little oxygen. Unfortunately the health conditions that can occur due to the lack of oxygen are not only detrimental to one’s health but they can also be deadly. The reason why the oximeter device is particularly helpful to pilots is the fact that it is very portable. The device is only a fraction of the size of a cell phone can be taken anywhere the pilot desires to go. No longer is it necessary to have a large bulky device that is immobile and can get in the way of the pilot, the new generations of oximeter devices provide complete portability and the ability to measure the oxygen levels of pilot at whatever altitudes they desire to fly to. The device is also extremely durable and can be used in almost any weather or atmospheric situation. Typically what a pilot would do is that they would hook up their finger into the device and thus this will provide them with a continuous reading of oxygen levels in particular their blood oxygen saturation levels which is also known as SpO2 as well as pulse rate. The pilot can rest assured that they are monitoring their oxygen levels at all times in order to prevent hypoxia.

Pulse Oximeter Helps To Lose Weight by Jacob Walters

Weight and obesity is one of the major health issues and problems facing our country today. With the advent of a huge portion of the population that is obese and overweight it has risen to a state of national emergency to get the health of our nation in control. The obesity rates are even particularly high among children as well. A device now exists that can help with battling this problem of obesity and weight. A pulse oximeter is a health device that is used to measure pulse rate as well as blood oxygen saturation. So how does this device help in losing weight you ask? It is essentially a portable vital sign monitoring device that can give the individual who is exercising an instant glance to their health at any given point. So for example, lets say that you are obese and that you have decided and are determined to lose weight. You come up with a exercise regiment that requires you to jog outdoors three times a week. Well as a part of the exercise regiment you have been told to monitor your pulse rate and oxygen levels in order to see how you are improving and whether your body’s health is improving due to the exercise regiment. Previously there really was no device that offered the portability and capability of being taken everywhere you desired to go. With the advent of the new generation of portable pulse oximeter technology the individual desiring to lose weight can now take their device wherever they want to go and monitor their health at an instant.

The oximeter device in actual size was is only a fraction of the size of a typical cell phone. Thus as you can see it can be taken anywhere the individual wants to go. There are also more advanced models that actually will provide data storage capability that will record your health figures over a period of time and will allow you to judge your improving performance. These devices are known as the wrist pulse oximeters. The wrist pulse oximeter is particularly useful in that they are not only portable but they attach to the wrist via a Velcro attachment and thus you can go jogging or engage in any other physical activity with it without the fear of dropping or damaging the device. Once the device is attached to you then you begin to exercise. As you exercise the device will continuously record your heart beat, blood oxygen levels as well as the strength of your heart beat. All this data is imported and recorded on the memory card of the device. Once you have exercised for a period of time then you may desire to look at your progress. You simply plug in the device into a computer and within seconds you have complete charts and graphs that outline your health figures and show you how you are improving and getting closer to reaching your goal of losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle.

Pulse Oximeter Technology Meets Bluetooth And Wireless Capabilities by Jacob Walters

Years ago, pulse oximeter technology was extremely new and quite revolutionary in the field of medicine. Here was a device that would offer continuous, accurate readings of pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation of individuals while they were in the hospital settings. The device was fantastic and truly created a whole segment for itself in the medical device and equipment field. Then, after that there came another innovation that again shocked the health world. The advent of the portable pulse oximeter devices. The portable devices were made possible because of new chip technology. This chip technology allowed the device to not only be built to be smaller but also improved the cost of the device as well. By becoming smaller the device could not be a wireless and portable device. The previous generations of the device were definitely not mobile. They were large and heavy and actually manufactured for the hospital setting and to remain in one room. This proved to be difficult as many individuals with various health concerns needed to monitor their health and vital signs while not in the hospital setting. These people had to go to work or even to vacation but at the same time they still needed to monitor their health in order to ensure that they were operating at optimal health. The new portable pulse oximeter devices provided such a convenience. The ability to travel and go anywhere you desired to go without the worry that you were not able to be at your physician’s office in order to monitor your health. That was quite revolutionary and truly changed the medical device market. However, there now is another innovation that again is changing the medical device market.

The newest member of the pulse oximeter family is the Bluetooth and wireless capable devices. These devices come with a built in Bluetooth capabilities that will allow the device to wireless transmit data to any other location that accepts the Bluetooth capability. So why is this significant you ask? Well the main reason is that it allows for the quick sharing of information from your device to your health care professional. Lets say for example you are suffering for a heart or lung condition that requires you to monitor your health constantly with the use of a pulse oximeter. Well the problem is that you may take your device home but not exactly know how to judge the readings you get. Well with the use of a pulse oximeter device with Bluetooth you can have your device connected to your physician’s central patient monitoring system. If at anytime your specific readings fall below a level that is unhealthy then you physician will be alerted as such and will be able to take the appropriate steps to remediate the situation. What this does in fact is to bring your physician right into your home. So while you are in the comfort of your own home you are at the same time in contact with your physician and he is able to judge whether you are functioning at optimal health.

Pulse oximeter used in emergency response systems by Jacob Walters

Emergency response health care professionals serve one of the most important functions in our society. They are there when we most need them and at our most critical time of health. Emergency response technicians are the individuals that care for you during your time that you have to quickly get to the hospital for treatment. Also they are the individuals that are there for you to treat you during an emergency such as a house fire or some sort of gas poisoning. These individuals have always been needing to carry around large and heavy vital sign monitoring devices to measure the victim’s vital signs in order to determine immediate life saving treatment. One new device that has had a true innovative impact on the emergency response care arena is the use of a pulse oximeter.

A pulse oximeter is a medical device that measures pulse rate as well as blood oxygen saturation with amazing speed and accuracy. The oximeter utilizes the latest in infrared light technology in order to get the vital signs of an individual. The great thing about this new generation of oximeter technology is the fact that they are unbelievably small and portable. In the past the health care professionals had to rely on pulse oximeter products that were large and extremely heavy to move around easily. However, with the advent of new chip technology the oximeters today are made to be extremely portable. They are only a fraction of the size of a cellphone and provide the same complete services of the previous generations of oximeters while at not only the fraction of the cost but also a fraction of the size and weight. Today medical emergency response individuals are utilizing these new generations of pulse oximeter technology. The new generation will allow the professionals toeasily move quickly in and out of complex and risky situations without the unnecessary and unneeded weight and equipment. One of the most important vital signs that the device measures is blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) which represents the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood. This is extremely important in the fact that the ability to measure the oxygen percentage in the blood comes to play a major part in almost any emergency health situation. For example, lets say there is a fire and the emergency medical personnel have to respond quickly to the victims of this fire. Because of a typical smoke inhalation that can occur during fire the personnel need to pay especially close attention to the fact that the individual may be suffering from the lack of oxygen in their blood and thus my need emergency oxygen. They professional simply places on the individual the oximeter and within seconds they get a reading of the SpO2 levels which in turn allow the individual to gauge the level of oxygen in the body of the person and to decide whether supple mental oxygen is necessary. A Pulse oximeter is the most advanced and useful tool used today by emergency health care professionals out there in the field.
