Learning basics Breathing techniques

2010-09-12T01:35:00.000-07:00

With the passage of time we all tend to develop a basic fault of wrong breathing. It is a established fact that diaphragmatic breathing is the natural and best way of breathing, which helps in fighting many diseases which we tend to develop with the age. Best nutrient you can feed to your brain and heart is fresh and sufficient air. It is said that best way to learn natural breathing is to watch a new born baby as he breaths in the most natural way, wherein his abdomen goes up and down with the breathing. Whereas in most of the adults ,it is chest which goes up and down while breathing ,which signifies a shallow breathing. Try this natural exercise. Whenever we do some physical labour like running, climbing stairs or playing ,we often run out of breath. In such a situation lie down on your back and take a deep breath filling your abdomen first ,It will have magical effect to cool you down. PRANAYAM is nothing but diaphragmatic breathing. Regular practice of PRANAYAM develops a natural diaphragmatic breathing habit. Some links which tell about diaphragmatic breathing are given below.

Muscle Cramps

2009-04-27T12:01:00.000-07:00

At some point, most exercisers experience cramps in strenuous workouts. Runners experience these usually in the feet or the calf muscles, and cyclists in the quadraceps muscle group. Cramps may come during exercise, afterward, or they may hit at random. Most commonly, they will occur at night, or when you are sitting around at your desk or watching TV in the afternoon or evening.

Cramps vary in severity. Most are mild but some can grab so hard that they shut down the muscles and hurt when they seize up. Massage, and a short and gentle movement of the muscle can you keep going as you work out the muscle knots. Odds are that stretching will make the cramp worse, or tear the muscle fibers.

Most cramps are due to overuse--exercising farther or faster than in the recent past, or continuing to put yourself at your limit, especially in warm weather. Slow down the exertion level from the beginning of the workout, insert more walk breaks if you are a runner, and avoid huffing and puffing.

You may have had too many workouts in a row, increased the workload of the workouts too quickly, or have been working too hard every day.

Continuous hard exercise increases cramping. Runners tend to avoid cramps by taking walk breaks every minute during the first 10 minutes of a run (run a minute/walk a minute) Many runners who used to cramp when they ran a minute and walked a minute, stopped cramping with a ratio of run 30 seconds and walk 30-60 seconds.

Workout for Boobs

2008-12-09T12:33:00.000-08:00

Here's how to give your breasts a lift.

Try the fly. "To build more muscle, try what's called the dumbbell fly, using a pair of one- to three-pound weights," says Peggy Norwood-Keating, director of fitness at Duke University Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina.

To start, pick up one weight in each hand, then lie back on the floor. Extend your arms out at shoulder level on the floor with your palms up, clutching your weights. The weights should be parallel to your body.

Draw both arms straight up together above your body, keeping your elbows slightly bent, so that the weights meet over your chest, says Norwood-Keating. Then, return the weights out to your sides at shoulder height, as if you were drawing a semicircle or half-moon over your body.

Repeat the exercise 12 to 15 times, then rest for 1½ minutes, says Norwood-Keating. Repeat the exercise a second time and rest once again. Then repeat the exercise for a third and final set.

The stronger you become, the more weight you'll be able to handle. This means that you should be able to gradually increase your weight (by one to two pounds) while decreasing repetitions (8 to 10) in order to work your muscles gradually, says Norwood-Keating. Your goal here is 8 to 10 repetitions in three sets.

Try a chest press. A variation on the fly that also builds chest muscle is the chest press, says Norwood-Keating. This time, pick up a five-pound dumbbell in each hand and lie back on the floor. Extend your arms and hold the dumbbells up in the air over your chest, parallel to your body. Then, bend your elbows and lower the dumbbells toward your chest, with your elbows out to the sides at shoulder level. Extend your arms straight back up over your chest and repeat the exercise 12 to 15 times. Rest for 1½ minutes, then do a second set of 12 to 15 repetitions. Rest again and do a third set.

As with the previous exercise, if doing this exercise as described gets easy, increase your weights by one or two pounds. Your goal, says Norwood-Keating, is the same as above: 8 to 10 repetitions in three sets with as much weight as you can safely and comfortably handle.

Round out your workout. All these exercises may be great for your chest, but you need to round out your workout with an exercise that strengthens your back muscles, says Norwood-Keating. Otherwise, you're likely to become round-shouldered and weaken your back. So pick up a five- to ten-pound weight in your left hand, then lean on a bench or a low, sturdy table by placing your right knee and right hand down on its surface. Your left foot should be on the floor.

Bend your left elbow, bring the weight up to your armpit and try to squeeze your left shoulder blade toward your spine. As you resist gravity, slowly lower the weight back down until your arm is fully extended. It won't be easy, but resist letting the weight fall by squeezing with your left shoulder blade as the weight returns to the starting positon, explains Norwood-Keating.

Repeat the exercise 12 to 15 times, rest for 1½ minutes, then do a second set of 12 to 15 repetitions. Rest again and do a third set.

YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT !

2008-11-06T08:37:00.000-08:00

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know! YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun. ( Well sort of ...it depends if you've got nothing better to do!) 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold) 3. Add 5 4. Multiply it by 50 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758... If you haven't, add 1757. 6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number The first digit of this was your original number. (i.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.) The next two numbers are YOUR AGE !

No more baby Carrots!!

Very important!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!
Ok...so no more baby carrots

The following is information from a farmer who grows andpackages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc.
The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots. Most people probably know this already.
What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them (the same chlorine used in your pool).
Since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.
You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots, this is the chlorine which resurfaces.
At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which are practically plastic?
We do hope that this information can be passed on to as many people as possible in the hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed.
Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen.
Please let us make this information available to as many people as possible. If you care about your family and friends, pass it on.

Next time you go shopping for Lipstick.... ... This comes from someone,Who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital , in Toronto .. From: Dr. Nahid Neman If there is a female you care anything about,Share this with her. I am also sharing this with the males on my e-mail list,Because they need to tell the females THEY care about as well! Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' Decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead . Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

CHRISTIAN DIOR
LANCÔME
CLINIQUE
Y.S.L
SHISEIDO
RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK

The higher the lead content, The greater the chance of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, It was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick Contained the most amount of lead. Watch out for those lipsticks Which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is Because of the higher content of lead. Here is the test you can do yourself: 1. Put some lipstick on your hand. 2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick. 3. If the lipstick colour changes to black, Then you know the lipstick contains lead.

Loose Weight with Lemonade

2008-08-25T10:05:00.000-07:00

What is Lemonade Diet?
The Lemonade Diet, also known as the Master Cleanse, has been around for many years. It was first explained in a book that was published in 1976, but has gained popularity in recent years because of a new book on the subject published in 2004. The diet has also gained popularity as stories of celebrities using it to lose weight have circulated on the Internet and in magazines. Celebrities from Beyonce Knowles to Robin Quivers have credited the Lemonade Diet with helping them lose weight. The Lemonade Diet is more accurately a fast, because you aren't really eating anything when you are on the diet. It is meant to help cleanse the body of toxins, and allow the user to lose weight at the same time. The diet involves drinking a sort of lemonade made with lemons, purified water, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. The drink is consumed throughout the day, and laxative tea is taken in the evenings. Most people follow the Lemonade Diet for about 10 days, though some use the diet for as many as 40 days.
How to Lose Weight on the Lemonade Diet?
When the diets is followed strictly, there's really no question as to how to lose weight on the lemonade diet. You simply won't be getting enough calories to not lose weight if you stay on this diet for several days. This diet is tough on the digestive system and you will see a big increase in bowel movements during the cleanse, which is really what this "diet" was intended to be. It's not really meant to be used as a diet, and any weight loss that happens while on it will probably be erased quickly thereafter. That's because once you start eating again your body will think that it has to prepare for another starvation cycle (which is what going on a fast is) and you'll quickly gain back what weight you lost, and maybe more, unless you make a real effort to follow a healthy diet to maintain that weight loss. The Lemonade Diet is not a long-term solution for weight loss. While it can help you to lose a few pounds temporarily, as any diet that involves not eating would, it's not a permanent solution. It's a much better idea to think about the Lemonade Diet under its other name, Master Cleanse Diet, because the real idea behind the diet is cleaning impurities from the body, not losing weight.
Detoxification
The Master Cleanse is a detoxification process, which means that it aims to get toxins and other unsavory things out of the body. Those who regularly do detoxification like the Master Cleanse say that they feel more energetic and think more clearly after the process than they did before. The only trouble is, it takes a lot of work for the body to eliminate the bad things that have been accumulating in it for so long. There are many cleansing or detoxification symptoms that you may experience, including: * Hunger or food cravings * Irritability * Tiredness * Aches and pains * Nausea or vomiting * Hot or burning bowel movements * Headaches Those who are experienced with detoxification describe these symptoms as signs that you are eliminating significant toxins from your body and say that it is likely you will feel much better then next day after having these symptoms. If you are trying to figure out how to lose weight on the Lemonade Diet and you aren't really interested in the detoxification effects, you might want to consider if a different diet plan is better for you, since losing weight on this kind of plan is difficult and usually not long-lasting. If you want to lose a lot of weight and keep it off permanently, this diet is probably not the best choice for you..

Bottled Water-Warn Wife,Daughter

2008-06-12T10:24:00.000-07:00

Bottled water in your car.....very dangerous, woman!!!! This is how Sheryl Crow got breast cancer. She was on the Ellen show and said this same exact thing. This has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels in breast cancer, especially in Australia . A friend whose mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The Doctor told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car. The doctor said that the heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain chemicals that can lead to breast cancer. So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car, and, pass this on to all the women in your life. This information is the kind we need to know and be aware and just might save us!!!! Th e heat causes toxins from the plastic to leak into the water and they have found these toxins in breast tissue. Use a stainless steel Canteen or a glass bottle when you can!!! Let every one that has a wife/girfriend and daughter know please.

Cancer News from Johns Hopkins

No plastic containers in micro

No water bottles in freezer.

No plastic wrap in microwave...

A dioxin ! chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers... This especially applies to foods that contain fat.

He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin
into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body...

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food... You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just, safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.

He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons... when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.Cover food with a paper towel instead.
