Surveys that have been conducted in the recent times indicate that as much as 40 percent of teenage girls and a small percentage of plus size women resort to smoking in order to control their weight. They cite this as the main reason they indulge in smoking. Dr. Margaret at the University of Pennsylvania specializes in addictive behaviour among people who smoke. According to her, the relationship between anxieties and fear about weight gain and tobacco smoking is one of real. And, teenagers are more exposed to the dangers of smoking as their experiments with cigarettes have the potential to make them addicted to nicotine; in fact more when compared with that of adults. Scientists and researchers believe that young brain has more receptivity quotient for nicotine. This makes it more than ever hard to stop smoking.

One of the reports by the National Institute on Drug Abuse affirms that some teenagers get addicted within days of beginning the habit of smoking cigarettes. When compared with boys it is the adolescent girls that get hooked to nicotine within a short span of time.It can be argued that these young ones are not fully aware of the health risks posed by tobacco and smoking.

But, people wonder why people in their teens find it hard to quit smoking. Many of the studies conducted by Disease Control Centre in the States point out that the youngsters who embark on the habit of smoking increase their risk of developing cancer of the lungs. Some may start showing signs of an eventual heart disease also. It is calculated that 75 percent of adult men and women who happen to fall in the category of smokers today had begun smoking when they were adolescent kids. A full fledged awareness program regarding the long-term adverse health effects of smoking has to be initiated so as to help kids convinced about the damaging effects tobacco has on the human body and mind. Parents, by making it known to their wards that they disapprove of their kids’ smoking habit, will be influencing the behaviour of these children in a very positive way.

 

If we look at the other side, adults resort to many smoking cessation techniques to solve the problem of tobacco addiction. And, such people are very much likely to experience withdrawal symptoms including weight loss and under-nourishment. These people should drink plenty of fresh juice in order to increase their intake of essential vitamins and minerals, their body needs. They must also pop in vitamin and mineral supplements and should include various fruits and vegetables in their diet. Care has to be taken to minimize the intake of frozen and junk food items; it is better to eat food that they prepare at home. To escape from the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, try newer methods and routines. Take a conscientious break from the old patterns of life style and stick to more positive ones for greater benefits.

Alternative medicine has been a part of our society since the first man learned to walk. It has a strong history is every culture and stays to be part of our modern culture. Herbal remedies are aplenty. Even today, more and more with beneficial effects are being discovered. Yet while they are certainly popular for their various uses, you shouldnâ??t be too eager to jump the gun. Learn these mistakes in order to avoid problems. 

Skipping your homework 

Herbal remedies, while effective for certain types of conditions, are not without their side-effects. These should be your initial concern when venturing into the world of alternative medicine. If you are taking any medication, you should first know how your drugs will interact with the herbal medicine you’re considering on taking. 

There are simply a lot of considerations when taking herbal remedies. Like with any type of purchases, you should first learn about what you are getting into before itâ??s too late. The financial and physical ramifications of taking these sorts of remedies should always be taken into consideration. 

Depending mostly on alternative medicine 

When you are taking your herbal medicines, you shouldnâ??t rely only to them. Always widen your options but try not to venture on radical therapies that are rampant these days. Herbal cures have certainly some traits that make them completely more palatable than other types of remedies. But depending mostly on them and limiting your choices of cures will only limit your chances of recovering from the condition you are suffering from. 

Not disclosing your herbal supplements 

One of the basic rules of taking herbal cures is to always seek medical opinion first. Self-medication is the absolute worst type of regimen. Unless you have extensive and professional background in health care and medicine, in general, you should leave the medical opinion to the professionals. If you are taking any form of herbal supplements, donâ??t forget to always give your doctor a heads up. 

Taking supplements inconsistently 

In order to know how effective your herbal remedies really are, you should always take them regularly at the advisable dosage. Taking the remedies inconsistently will only make you waste money. There are plenty of expensive herbal cures, and taking them consistently will not only be beneficial for your health but for your wallet, as well. Be sure to always follow your recommended daily dose.

Working with energy? How does one go about doing that? To start off, you approach working with energy as if you were a child, playing. You leave your opinions at the door, and allow yourself to be open to all possibilities. When you’re in an open state, like a child, anything is possible. Our minds have long told us what is real and what is not, but where the mind cannot go, the imagination can — and that’s exactly how to work with meridian energy in the body and use energy tools like EFT tapping to obtain emotional freedom and healing.

It is Not Poppycock!
The problem that most of us face is that we’re so filled up with beliefs about this and that and ideas of how things are supposed to work. We’ve entered the quantum age and most people aren’t even aware of it. I am old enough to remember watching Star Trek when it first came out on TV. It was so cool, Captain Kirk, Spock and the crew, talking with their little communication devices, flipping them open and just speaking!

And now just a mere 30 some years later we are living with things that were once science fiction, only now they call them cell phones. Are you aware that the cell phone is actually DESIGNED from the Star Trek Communicators? In fact — many things that were once a part of science fiction (starting in the 40’s with Robert Heinlein and crew) are very much a part of science fact.

This applies to everything. Absolutely everything

Energy Permeates All Things
It is all things — and it is neither good or bad, it just is. So as we mature in life, as we age, we have long forgotten the dreams of childhood and took on the beliefs of our caretakers, those we trusted and loved, and implanted those beliefs in our “Meridian Energy Systems” — our bodies. To get that programming out of there, at least the stuff that no longer serves us, requires different thinking than what put it there in the first place.

Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT tapping involves tapping on key meridian lines within the body, along the same principles as acupuncture works (which is also an energy releasing system) as you say key emotional phrases, first a round of negative phrases and emotions about the topic and then a round of positive emotions and words about the topic.

There are reported cases of folks receiving healing from incredible physical and emotional problems from this simple thing involving tapping on key points in the body.

And if issues come up again, tapping them away works. Many might think that working with these kinds of energy tools is some kind of new age woo hoo stuff, but if you think about it — the Chinese have been using many of these “energy” techniques for well over 6,000 years. In China you pay the doctor to keep you well, and that involves acupuncture, feng shui, the eating of weird stuff that is all natural, QiGong, martial arts training and a whole host of things that are slowly making their way into western traditions.

You may laugh if you want, but any martial artist knows that “energy flows where attention goes,” and if tapping on my body while saying phrases can save me a costly medical bill or heal a broken heart, well then, I’m in.

Let’s Face It
There’s still so much that we don’t know about our Universe and an honest medical doctor will tell you that he had nothing whatsoever to do with healing his patient. The patient heals himself — always. Sure a doctor is great to have around in any kind of emergency and for those dis-eases we are incapable of dealing with. But energy tools go to the root cause of the problem, they don’t treat the symptoms like so much of our western medicine does.

My mother, god love her, at 82 is on so many medications its unbelievable — and now she has to take them. Some of them are so bad that the contradictions they cause in her are amazing. She takes 11 prescriptions, some of which are to offset the negative effects of the others! How crazy is that?

You’ve seen the commercials, oftentimes the cure is worse than the illness. It takes almost another whole 15 seconds with the voice-over speaking at lightning speed to let you know all the things that can go wrong if you take such and such medication.

For now, I’ll stick with EFT and my other energy tools.

These energy systems work for me and I say why work with stuff that doesn’t?

I’ve been using the Emotional Freedom Techniques EFT now for three years and I have really experienced great results with these EFT tappings. EFT tapping can heal issues from your past, remove emotional blockages that impinge upon your ability to bring more money into your life, help heal your body, improve your relationships and work just about on anything that involves YOU.

Snacking is a pretty natural impulse. While we may be accustomed to three meals a day as a standard practice, our body is actually functioning nonstop. It will process food whenever it’s put into the system, and it uses up energy without ceasing. Even when you’re asleep, your brain is drawing on your body’s energy reserves.

So it really shouldn’t be a surprise that we find ourselves hungry between our regularly scheduled meals. Instead of providing a steady, reasonable supply of nutrients for our system to constantly work on, we often cram it with large doses that it has to work overtime to process at three intervals. The result typically is highs and lows of sugar and energy, and we get snack cravings.

When integrated into a larger proper diet, snacking is not a bad thing and actually can be quite healthy. Snacks help even out those crash periods between meals, allowing your body to function more steadily. The key is that we often choose to snack on unhealthy foods heavy in sugars and calories, but low on overall nutrients. By making a few simple changes, you can turn your snacks into an ally rather than a hindrance.

Take on some smart snacking tactics-like the ones highlighted here-for six weeks to kick-start a lifelong habit of healthy eating and feeling great.

Snack Habit #1 – A Healthy Sandwich

The first snack you should consider is a whole grain sandwich. The contents are up to you, but there are a few simple guidelines. Meats should be low in fat, such as turkey or chicken breast. Lettuce is great filler, as are sliced green or red peppers. Go easy on the condiments, as these can sneak carbohydrates into your system without your realizing it.

The fiber in whole grain breads helps slow digestion and promotes fullness, meaning you won’t get hungry as often. The carbohydrates in the bread will give you an energy pickup as well, keeping you alert and ready for your day.

This is a very easy habit to get into, requiring only a few minutes each day. Make your sandwich for the next day every night, and cut it in half so you can enjoy it at two different snack times. Put it somewhere you’ll remember to grab it, and you’re ready to go. Definitely go for some variety as well. There are many sandwich recipes out there, and part of successfully adopting new habits is making sure they’re fun and interesting for you, as well as beneficial.

As for people who cannot process wheat flour, consider breads made with almond flour. This is a delicious gluten-free flour that won’t interfere with your wheat allergies, and still let you take advantage of a snack sandwich.

Snack Habit #2 – Go a Little Nuts

Another great snack to focus on is a serving of healthy nuts. Nuts tend to be high in fat content, meaning they’re an easy source of quick energy when you’re feeling a bit of a slump. These fats are also usually mono-unsaturated fats, which are ‘good’ fats responsible for lowering LDL cholesterol levels. This means a small handful of nuts between your bigger meals can quell sugar cravings while keeping you healthy.

Hazelnuts, almonds, and peanuts are very nutrient-rich snacks, and are easily available. Getting into a nutty habit is also really easy. Just pack a few small bags of nuts at the beginning of your week, and bring them with you on your daily tasks. Try to focus on low salt varieties of course, for the sake of preventing high blood pressure.

Snack Habit #3 – The Sugar YoYo and Yogurt

Sometimes all your body wants and needs is a quick sugar boost, and only sugar is going to help it. However your source of sugar doesn’t have to be a highly processed candy bar or can of soda.

At the beginning of your week, buy a few cups of yogurt in flavors you like. Yogurt is high in pro-biotics that promote digestive health, as well as other important nutrients based on the fruit content in the cup. If your body starts to crash, having a handy pick me up like a yogurt cup means you can snack quickly and get yourself back on track.

One word of caution: Many yogurts can be high in sugar and sugar syrups such as high fructose corn syrup. This is less ideal than if the sugar comes from the fruit itself. Check the list of ingredients, and if corn syrup or sugar is in the first three ingredients, pass it up.

Snack Habit #4 – Snack Pack

The key to forming good habits is making sure they’re practical. If you try to make healthy snacks, but they keep spoiling or getting too warm to be palatable, you’re probably going to give up before making it a habit. Consider buying yourself a small cooler or insulated bag to pack your snacks in. This will help keep everything at an even temperature, making the snacks crisp and tasty enough to enjoy, as well as storing them in a convenient place.

You probably didn’t expect to be encouraged to keep snacking, did you? Actually one of the best ways to build a healthy lifestyle is to take the habits you already have, such as snacking, and turn them in healthier directions. This empowers you to easily adopt positive habits that fit within your life instead of allowing bad habits to takeover. Consider trying out these steps for six weeks, and the results will speak for themselves.

As we all know, unless we’ve buried our heads like ostriches, we live in a world that is seemingly comprised of stress and more of same.

In fact, many of us are so used to the stress, that when we find ourselves in nature, in a calming situation, we don’t know what to do, our ever-present companion – stress – has taken a sabbatical, and we feel as if something is amiss. But you can learn a way to take that sabbatical, take that vacation, right where you are. Here are a few facts about using the Emotional Freedom Techniques EFT to reduce stress.

What Is EFT? Before we get into the means to use EFT to reduce stress, let’s talk about what it is first. The emotional freedom technique is based upon ancient healing practices, including acupuncture and acupressure along key ley or meridian lines in the body, applied with thoroughly modern methods.

But instead of applying pressure or sticking needles at key points along these ley lines, you tap on them instead, while using key phrases to help release negative emotions and then you do a positive round to instill positive and healing emotions into your body.

Just like Chinese medicine operates on principles to remove energy blockages within the body, EFT operates on this same principle. The idea is that if you are experiencing stress, emotional problems, disease, or dis-ease with or with(in) your body or life in any fashion, it is because somehow, somewhere along the way, you developed a blockage. It’s as if your thought and emotions become crystallized within, settling in to cause you pain.

If you were a trigger point massage therapist, you’d know where these trigger points most likely hide within your body, causing referred pain in other areas. Energy blockages operate the same way. For instance, negative parental interactions at early ages can lead to money and relationship problems.

But these can be easily released by using EFT.

Exactly How Does EFT Work? Depending on the EFT practitioner you are working with, will determine what key points and ley lines you tap along, but the underlying premise is the same.

There are several different variations, and variations of the variations, but the basic idea starts with tapping on the karate chop place on your hand (it doesn’t matter right or left – some EFT practitioners practice both!), moving to a place between your eyebrows (the third eye region), to the side of the eyebrow, underneath the eye, on the upper lip underneath the nose, below the mouth in the ridge between the lower lip and chin, between the collar bone area, underneath the arm, and then the crown of the head.

Some prefer to tap under the breast after the collarbone and before the underarm tapping. There are those who also start with tapping the sore spot to the right or left of the collarbone. There are more convoluted versions, and it really doesn’t matter which one you use, as long as it works for you!

Start with a Set-up Phrase

The tapping sequence would go something like this:

• “The Setup: While continuously tapping the Karate Chop point (or the sore spot), repeat this affirmation three times: Even though I have this ____ (fear, pain, issue, etc.), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• The Sequence: Tap between 5 and 10 times on each of the following energy points while repeating the Reminder Phrase at each point:
• Crown: Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Eyebrow: Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Side of eye: Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Under eye: Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Under nose: Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Chin: Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Collarbone: Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely love and accept myself
• Under arm: Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Take a deep cleansing breath.”

The idea is to check in with your body, and see if there is any, if at all, remaining feelings of discomfort or dis-ease, then rate that on a scale of 0-10. You must repeat this process until you experience a sense of relief. The ideal is to bring the discomfort to a zero.

In alternating rounds, you can replace the negative statements about the issue with positive ones or “affirmations” as it were. EFT tapping is done with two fingers, though I have known some to use the flat face of their palm. You can tap on either side of the body, with either hand. For the collar-bone area, find the place where your collar bones almost meet at the top of your chest, and just below that, tap that area lightly with a fist.

The great thing about EFT tapping is that you don’t even have to know all the details of your problem, you can address the ill at ease feelings you have – and oftentimes just tapping through those will release the problem.

It sounds silly doesn’t it? But I’ve known folks to work through some tremendous issues with these simple procedures and as for me; I use it all the time.

Ask anyone who smokes and they will undoubtedly tell you that the very first cigarette they smoked nearly made them sick to their stomach or actually did make them sick. It begs the question why anyone would continue to smoke cigarettes until it becomes a habit but the answer to that question is neither here nor there if you have been smoking for long enough to be hooked to cigarettes. The bottom line is that if you are smoking and unhappy with the habit for any reason, it’s time to explore some options that will help you quit.

Any habit that has been practiced for 21 days is said to be a permanent one. So whether you are a relatively new smoker or you’ve been at it most of your life, there is damage being done to your lungs with each puff that you take. Not to mention the social stigma that the vast majority of non-smokers associate with second hand smoke from your cigarette. Even lawmakers are working in many areas to make it against the law to smoke in a large percentage of public places such as restaurants, hotel lobbies, grocery stores, retail stores and more. For diehard smokers, this is an inconvenience to say the least. For those who are trying to quit, have tried in the past or want to quit sometime in the near future, it is a wakeup call to action.

How many times have you thought to yourself how nice it would be to improve your life in some areas? Perhaps there are some thoughts that you’ve shared with no one about improving your life for the better. Maybe you want to accomplish some dreams that you have held close to your vest year after year but you haven’t been sure that they are possible. Many people dream of making their lives better and wake up each day with the hope that things will start to happen. The reality of having such valiant hope is that hoping alone is not enough. You have to be willing to take action, even if it is only a small step, to create the necessary momentum that brings about change.

Sometimes change comes in life when a life challenge or crisis occurs. Typically when this happens, however, the change is short lived and many negative feelings are associated with such change and the resulting life that comes after the temporary change has worn off. This is not the kind of life change you want to experience but without the proper guidance to keep you pointed in the right direction when obstacles to your goals come along, you need help.

If you are seeking to create a New Year life alignment, the best place to start is with professional hypnosis. Before you scoff, understand that we aren’t referring to the Hollywood movies misconceptions that perpetrate hypnosis as some sort of mumbo jumbo or hoodoo that is performed in a back room parlor.

Whether you have been struggling with certain issues in your for years or they’ve just cropped up and started to cause problems recently, there is help for you now.

Sometimes, just being able to find your life purpose can be a challenge that has you turning over every stone in the hopes of meeting with what it is that you should be doing in life. This may not seem like a big deal but it is. The time that you spend chasing after uncertainties in your life is time that you could spend focusing on what you know to be true regarding your purpose in life. This is the key that hypnosis can provide you so that you are not searching in vain or without the promise of finding the answers you seek.

As the year comes to a close, it is the time of year that many people start to look towards the new year with hopes that things can be better in the days, months and weeks ahead. When it comes to your life’s purpose and gaining the knowledge you need to make the right choices the first time around, there are many hypnosis specialists who can provide professional assistance. Don’t let another year pass you by without knowing what your life purpose is. Let hypnosis help you find your true purpose in life.

Trust me, I am speaking from personal experience. About three years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of my medications and chemotherapy was hair loss and balding. Devastated by having patches of hair on my head, during recovery, I did what most people do—I bought wigs. At first, the wigs seemed like a perfect solution. But, they were really a cover up. Moreover, my niece would scream when she saw me because she couldn’t recognize me with my “new wig.” So, I begin using hair loss products in hopes to regrow my hair. Unfortunately, this was another unsuccessful venture. Rogaine. DHT Blockers. Minoxidil. All of these products failed to perform what they promised. Further, I spend hundreds of dollars on Minoxidil every month, only to have no hair growth and a sore scalp. Frustrated, I decided that there had to be a method or some natural product available that would grow my hair, stop my shedding, and stop my balding. Believe it or not, I found one. However, there are some things you need to know about hair loss before I tell you what worked for me.

What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss, shedding, and balding occurs for several reasons. They may occur because of heredity, diet, lifestyle choices, or prescribed medications. Even your hair care products and styling techniques may be facilitating your hair loss or stunting your hair growth. If you are like me, a combination of these factors may be retarding your hair growth. If your diet is laden with fats, alcohol, sugars, and junk foods, you are actually inhibiting your hair’s ability to grow. If you buy most, if not all, of your hair care products from traditional stores, you are most likely buying a hair-damaging useless product. Most hair care products, including most of those that claim to be “all-natural,” contain synthetic emulsifiers and harsh detergents, such as Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Phosphates, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Unfortunately, these products are loaded with toxins and chemicals that actually dry and strip your hair of vital nutrients it needs to grow.

How to Grow Your Hair, Stop Balding, and Stop Hair Loss?
You have to attack hair loss on the inside and the outside. A great hair growth regimen has three necessary components: a healthy eating plan, substantial water intake, and a high quality hair growth and hair care product.

Step One: A Healthy Hair Eating Plan
Your hair is all protein. Thus, you need a protein rich diet, chocked fill of B Vitamins and other hair-strengthening nutrients. Increase your intake of fish. It is full of healthy proteins and essential fatty acids and natural oils your hair needs. In addition, drink a protein supplement or shake everyday. If you follow this plan, not only will your hair grow, but you will also lose weight. That is, of course, if you lay off the junk food. Remember, I warned you too much junk food above.

Step Two: Drink Water
Eight to ten glasses of water is an absolute requirement. Drinking water
flushes your body of toxins, chemicals, and impurities that stifle your hair growth and disrupt your hormone and enzyme imbalances. Water also transports the important nutrients your body needs throughout your body. Hate drinking water? Add lemon and Splenda to have a healthy, tasty alternative.

Step Three: Buy a High Quality Hair Growth Product
I suggest you go all-natural. Unnatural hair care products are a no-no for someone who wants long-lasting, healthy hair growth. Find a hair growth product that contains powerful essential oils, natural herbs, and vitamin rich nutrients your hair needs to survive. Look for products with ingredients such as: Aloe Vera, Citrus Fruits, Jojoba, Rosemary, and Sage. Make sure you stray away from all natural products that use natural extracts. Extracts are not as powerful as essentials oils. They are a cheap substitute for the real thing. Although there are several natural hair care products on the market, not all hair growth products are created equal. Make sure you read the fine print. Most “natural” products still contain phosphates, sodium lauryl sulfate, petroleum, mineral oil, and other lab created humectants that ultimately damage your hair. My advice—if you can’t read the ingredients, don’t buy the product. When I was searching for a natural hair growth product, I found one really great buy, Beauty 4 Ashes Super Hair Growth System. Finding this company took me awhile; but Beauty 4 Ashes pretty much gives you everything you need to make your hair grow.

Hypotension or low blood pressure is pressure that is lower than normal blood pressure. Normal blood pressure for the human body is 120/80 mmHg. If your blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg or lower you may have low blood pressure.

Hypotension happens due to low blood flow through arteries and veins that can lead to less oxygen being passed to vital organs. This is due to weakness, flabby and over dilated blood vessels. In case of less oxygen being passed to brain, heart, eye and kidney, they can get damage and in some serious situations it can permanently damaged vital organs.

Some of the reasons that can lead to hypotension are pregnancy, diabetes, the hormonal problems, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and low blood sugar. Some over-the-counter medications can also create this problem. The overdose of high blood pressure drugs, abnormal heart beats or rhythms, disrupting functioning of heart, heat stroke and liver disease may also cause hypotension.

Some other reasons that can cause sudden drops in blood pressure are loss of blood, low body temperature, high body temperature, sepsis, a severe blood infection, heart muscle disease causing heart failure, severe dehydration, due to reaction from medication and the severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).

The major symptoms of low blood pressure are fainting, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vertigo, transient blurring of vision, over exertion, mental disturbances, extreme confusion and breathlessness. But with the normalization of the blood pressure, these symptoms will subside slowly.

Drink plenty of water as dehydration minimizes the blood volume which causes the drop in pressure. Drink one glass of water per hour to keep your body hydrated. Salt is also good for hypotension patient. You can increase your salt intake, but this increase in salt may vary from person to person. Take a walk after you take your meals. This helps in bringing the blood pressure level to normal.

Soak ten small raisins in water overnight. Chew each raisin slowly before swallowing it. Continue doing this for a month. This is very helpful in normalizing low blood pressure. Another useful home remedy is almonds. Soak five almonds in water overnight. Grind them to make a smooth paste and mix it in glass of milk. Boil the milk and drink it warm.

Groundnuts have most of the required nutrients and protein. Roasted groundnuts are more nourishing. Boil dates in sweetened milk. Take this milk warm along with the boiled dates, 2 or 3 times. Sugarcane juice is also a good energy booster and recommended for low blood pressure.

Wheatgrass is believed to rejuvenate and revitalize the energy levels. Extract the juice and consume it immediately while still fresh for best result. Take 2 to 4 grams of guggul twice a day along with hot milk, preferably in the winter months.
