October 29th, 2008 by admin

Sometimes there are a lot of things we want to do but cant. We have great intentions and plans but we are unable to execute them. Quitting smoking is one such task. People know that cigarette is bad for health; they know that it can harm them but they are unable to quit it. Reason is simple: they are addicted to it.

What is addiction? Why is it so difficult to leave it? The definition of addiction as per the dictionary “addiction is a term used to describe a devotion, attachment, dedication, inclination, etc. Nowadays, however, the term addiction is used to describe a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individual’s health, mental state or social life”.

Hence, this definition makes it clear that man knows the ill effects of smoking and yet can’t give it up. However, nothing is impossible. The book “Alchemist” says that if you want something badly enough, then the whole universe conspires to get it for you. So this implies that incase you want to give up smoking, there are ways and solutions available:

1. The first important thing is to understand is that smoking is bad for health. Yes, we all know that smoking is not good but we seldom realize it. So, incase you want to quit smoking, research on the ways to quit smoking.

2. You need to want to Quit Smoking. It needs to be a realization within you. Smoking not only harms the smoker, it also harms his family. Passive smoking is a leading cause of cancer around the world. Hence it is important to realize what smoking does to you and your fam ily which will make you want to quit it.

3. Join groups for quitting. Join groups like smokers anonymous etc who are dedicated to quitting smoking. Having someone else in the same boat makes a big difference.

4. Use medicines like chantix. Chantix helps to quit smoking by shutting down the pleasure centers in the brain. Hence the smoker does not get the desired satisfaction from his cigarette.

There are many ways to quit smoking. The most important step in all these methods is self realization and personal commitment.

Don’t Try This Weight Loss Program…Unless You Want To Lose 10 Pounds Now

October 26th, 2008 by admin

Don’t Try This Weight Loss Program…Unless You Want To Lose 10 Pounds Now

So, you Really Are Serious about getting rid of those unwanted pounds, aren’t you. That’s Wonderful! And you’ve probably tried just about everything “out there” and nothing worked, right? Right!Well, let me tell you about some “all natural” ways to achieve what you thought unachievable. Also, let me First Tell You about some personal experience with this weight loss regimen. My wife and I were not obese or overweight by most people’s standards, but we both wanted to lose around 10 pounds so that we could look and feel better and younger. About that “younger” stuff, we are both in our 6th decade of life and are very active and we especially love to play tennis and snow ski and we don’t want to look “fat” (OK, sorry, I said the dread F word) on the court or on the slopes or more importantly for each other. So we were introduced to this particular All Natural weight loss regimen, and being a retired Physician, I was very skeptical; but we tried it anyway. The first inclination that we had that it was working was one night at supper, I just couldn’t eat anymore and my wife said, “What’s the matter, don’t you like what I prepared for dinner?” My wife is a wonderful cook, and I felt bad, but I just had no more appetite. Well, this continued for both of us at all of our meal times and with this eating less of a good thing, within a month I had lost over 10 pounds going from 194 to 183 and my wife lost 9 pounds going from 123 to 114. This goes back several months, and the wonderful thing is that the weight has stayed off! Now if this can work for two relatively normal weight people like us, what can it do for someone who has to lose 20-30 or more pounds. We know several people who have done what we did and lost over 100 pounds! OK, enough about me, what about you? You’re the important one and you can have the same results that we got by taking the same all natural supplements that we did. Next, I’d like to “Scare You” by telling you the scientifically proven inherent risks in being overweight. Are you ready for this? Here goes:1. High Blood Pressure2. Elevated Cholesterol and Triglycerides3. Type 2 Diabetes %26 the consequences thereof such as cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, amputations, kidney failure, blindness, etc. 4. Heart Disease5. Stroke6. Degenerative arthritis, especially of the hips and knees7. Back problems8. Sleep Apnea9. Certain types of cancer (Breast, Colon, Prostate, etc.)10. Respiratory (breathing) problems11. Emotional Problems such as Anxiety and Depressive Disorders12. Low Self EsteemSee, I told you I would scare you. So, now that you‘re scared, lets tell you what you can do about not getting into these problems by getting rid of your excess pounds. Here’s what you do. Start taking the supplements like we did. But what are the supplements? I’m so glad you asked that question. Here is the answer. The “Secret Weight Loss Ingredients” are:1. Yerba Mate`2. Guarana3. Chromium Polynicotinate4. Quebracho5. Green Tea Leaf6. Citrus Aurantium7. Gymnemma Sylvestre8. Garcinia Cambogia9. Griffonia Seed Wow! That’s quite a list. Yes it is, and the real secret is that you don’t have to take them all (unless you really want to). I will explain. First, let me tell you, one by one, a little bit about each one of these all natural herbs. Yerba Mate` %26 Guarana were studied extensively by one of our leading universities and their results were published in the prestigious Journal of Human Nutrition in 2001. Their results were, interestingly enough, very similar to the results that Linda (that’s my wife) %26 I got when we took these products. They found that after 45 days, the people taking Yerba Mate` %26 Guarana lost an average of 11 pounds while those given a placebo lost on average 1 pound over that same period of time. Pretty impressive, don’t you think? I sure do.Chromium Polynicotinate was recently studied, at another leading university center, and published in the journal, Diabetes Technology %26 Therapeutics, and the results were amazing (at least to me). They found that giving women, who enrolled in their study, 1 gram of this form of chromium significantly decreased their appetites, hunger levels and fat cravings by an average of 25%. Imagine that! Taking chromium Polynicotinate will reduce the amount of food you eat by 25%! That’s awesome! But hey, that’s exactly what happened to Linda and me. Did I mention, Linda is my wife? Quebracho is sort of a minor player here. It is a South American herb reported to help people lose weight. Green Tea Leaf is also helpful in weight loss, that can be used as an adjunct to the first three. Citrus Aurantium is another appetite suppressant which also increases your metabolic rate and helps burn calories.Gymnemma Sylvestre is another herbal substance which helps control cravings.Garcinia Cambogia is an herb from India which is a known appetite suppressant and is said to increase metabolism, energy levels and blocks the accumulation of fat and mobilizes fat for excretion from your body. Griffonia Seed is a very interesting herbal product. It actually contains 5HTP (5 Hydroxytryptophan) which is the precursor to Tryptophan which is the precursor to Serotonin. Sorry about all this scientific stuff, but you did want me to explain what these herb are, didn’t you? Serotonin is also dubbed the “Happy Hormone” and makes you feel good all over. It is actually a normally occurring anti-depressant and as such makes you feel good and less likely to over eat, snack and all those other bad things that make you fat. (Oops! I said the F word again…sorry about that!).As you can see the Major Players here are definitely the first three, Yerba Mate`, Guarana and Chromium Polynicotinate. The last six help the first three work better and if you find a product with them in it, all the better. So now that you know what to take to lose weight naturally, safely and without side effects, What Are You Waiting For? Get in your car and run over to the nearest health food store and stock up.If you’re like me and you’re too lazy to make that kind of effort, go to the link located on this page that will take you to a site where Linda and I got ours Check out BioLean (which contains the Yerba Mate` and the Guarana and Lipotrim which contains the Chromium. Take the BioLean twice a day %26 the Lipotrim 4-6 capsules a day.

Mandatory School Drug Testing

October 26th, 2008 by admin

Mandatory School Drug Testing

Many schools are implementing mandatory drug testing for their students. It is significant to understand that school drug testing doesn’t intend to punish the drug-abused students, but to keep them away from drugs. As high school sports get more and more competitive, there seems to be much inclination to use drugs among students for enhancing their performance. Student’s drug abuse was also influenced by some other reasons like, failure in academics, friend’s manipulation, pressure and dread.As per the reviews of White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), there are about 15,000 schools in United States, which are implementing mandatory drug testing for their students. Why Mandatory School Drug TestingStudents under the influence of drugs cannot perform well in academics comparing to their drug-free peers. As the school drug testing decreases the illicit usage of drugs, it would be easy to eliminate the obstacles in the academic achievement. The major aspects of mandatory school drug testing include, random drug testing, anti-drug education, searches of lockers and personal belongings and as such. The drug influence can easily turn to addiction. Students who are under drug influence are more likely to be failures than the drug free students and may even withdraw from the school. As a result, such students are likely to be unemployed and may commit crimes in order to satisfy their needs.Benefits Of Mandatory School Drug TestingPeople who implement mandatory school drug testing believe to have the following benefits that they realize through this approach.• Recognize Drug Usage In Athletes: The athletes under the drug influence become energetic. Due to this privileged physical capability they win over their competitors. And this occasional drug abuse develops into an addiction at some point of time. Therefore, by performing drug tests such incidents can be avoided.• Preventive Measure: The positive result of drug testing can discourage and prevent the students from the drug abuse. These testing can help the students understand and realize the consequences of drug abuse.• Detection and Referral: Drug testing may also be used to detect and refer for proper assistance for the students who have drug problems. Some schools use drug testing to provide treatment for drug abuse and ensure that they’re drug free.Reduce School Violence: The behavior of substance-abused students spoils the school environment. School drug testing can also minimize the hostility in the school caused by the drug-abusing students. Therefore schools can become much safer and peaceful and can maintain a positive learning atmosphere.This information illustrates the necessity of mandatory school drug testing and its benefits.

Having Both Love And Faith

October 25th, 2008 by admin

Having Both Love And Faith

No woman is worthy to be a wife who on the day of her marriage is not lost absolutely and entirely in an atmosphere of love and perfect trust; the supreme sacredness of the relation is the only thing which, at the time, should possess her soul. Women should not “obey” men anymore than men should obey women. There are six requisites in every happy marriage; the first is Faith, and the remaining five are Confidence. Nothing so compliments a man as for a woman to believe in him nothing so pleases a woman as for a man to place confidence in her. Obey? God help me! Yes, if I loved a woman, my whole heart’s desire would be to obey her slightest wish. And how could I love her unless I had perfect confidence that she would only aspire to what was beautiful, true and right? And to enable her to realize this ideal, her wish would be to me a sacred command; and her attitude of mind toward me I know would be the same. And the only rivalry between us would be as to who could love the most; and the desire to obey would be the one controlling impulse of our lives. We gain freedom by giving it, and he who bestows faith gets it back with interest. To bargain and stipulate in love is to lose. Perfect faith implies perfect love; and perfect love casteth out fear. It is always the fear of imposition, and a lurking intent to rule, that causes the woman to haggle over a word it is absence of love, a limitation, an incapacity. The price of a perfect love is an absolute and complete surrender. To give a man something for nothing tends to make the individual dissatisfied with himself. Your enemies are the ones you have helped. And when an individual is dissatisfied with himself he is dissatisfied with the whole world and with you. A man’s quarrel with the world is only a quarrel with himself. But so strong is this inclination to lay blame elsewhere and take credit to ourselves, that when we are unhappy we say it is the fault of this woman or that man. Especially do women attribute their misery to That Man. And often the trouble is he has given her too much for nothing. This truth is a reversible, back-action one, well lubricated by use, working both ways as the case may be. That form of affection which drives sharp bargains and makes demands, gets a check on the bank in which there is no balance. There is nothing so costly as something you get for nothing.

The Importance Of Salutations

October 25th, 2008 by admin

The Importance Of Salutations

The salutation, says a French writer, is the touchstone of good breeding. According to circumstances, it should be respectful, cordial, civil, affectionate or familiar: an inclination of the head, a gesture with the hand, the touching or doffing of the hat. If you remove your hat you need not at the same time bend the dorsal vertebr’ of your body, unless you wish to be very reverential, as in saluting a bishop. If an individual of the lowest rank, or without any rank at all, takes off his hat to you, you should do the same in return. A bow, says La Fontaine, is a note drawn at sight. If you acknowledge it, you must pay the full amount. The two best-bred men in England, Charles the Second and George the Fourth, never failed to take off their hats to the meanest of their subjects. If you have anything to say to any one in the street however intimate you may be, do not stop the person, but turn round and walk in company; you can take leave at the end of the street. If there is any one of your acquaintance, with whom you have a difference, do not avoid looking at him, unless from the nature of things the quarrel is necessarily for life. It is almost always better to bow with cold civility, though without speaking. Good sense and convenience are the foundations of good breeding; and it is assuredly vastly more reasonable and more agreeable to enjoy a passing gratification, when no sequent evil is to be apprehended, than to be rendered uncomfortable by an ill-founded pride. It is therefore better to carry on an easy and civil conversation. A snuff-box, or some polite accommodation rendered, may serve for an opening. Talk only about generalities, the play, the roads, the weather. Avoid speaking of persons or politics, for, if the individual is of the opposite party to yourself, you will be engaged in a controversy: if he holds the same opinions, you will be overwhelmed with a flood of vulgar intelligence, which may soil your mind. Be reservedly civil while the colloquy lasts, and let the acquaintance cease with the occasion.
