Hello to my precious blog article readers, I just want to share this to you, this great article about pills that I read from the forum that I've always visited everyday. And I hope you guys that this will help not for me, for you but all of us.

Women choose to take oral contraceptives for many reasons besides birth control - to reduce the number of periods they have per year, for example, or to lessen cramps during menstruation. And so I was surprised recently to meet a young woman who had disabling pain from her cramps every period but did not want anything to do with the pill.

I certainly understand the challenge of taking a pill every day, but wondered if her fear of this medicine stemmed more from the bad rap estrogen has gotten in the media of late. It's worth a moment to look at the pros and cons of the pill, to help you choose what's best for you.

Pros:

Pregnancy prevention. When taken exactly as prescribed, the pill can offer 99 percent protection. Notably, the "Lo" versions - which provide only 20 micrograms (mcg) of estrogen - are 98 percent effective when used in perfect accordance with directions.

Cycle predictability. You may even opt for an "extended" cycle formulation that allows you to have just one period every three months.

Less painful cramps. Especially when ibuprofen is not adequate.

Less bleeding. The pill is even used as a treatment for women with anemia because it limits the growth of the endometrial layer that is shed during each period.

Decreased risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers.

Decreased problems with acne.

Cons:

Inconvenient. The pill needs to be taken at the same time, every day.

Does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These include herpes, HIV, and chlamydia.

Increased risk for some cancers. It does not prevent cervical or breast cancers-and may even increase their risk.

Increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Estrogen is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, blood clots, and strokes.

Liver cysts. The pill is associated with cysts in the liver that may bleed.

The problems listed here may sound scary, but let's put them into perspective.

Heart attacks, clots, and strokes are much more likely if you smoke, are older, or have a family history of these events. For example, I generally tell women with a family history of blood clots or PEs (pulmonary embolus - blood clot in the lung) that they really shouldn't opt for the pill.

Cervical cancer is associated with an STI called HPV (human papillomavirus), which we can now vaccinate against and easily look for in precancerous stages with a Pap smear.

Breast cancer is a risk for all women and is associated with lifelong estrogen exposure and age. This risk is increased during pill use but is very low before age 35. And the increased risk of breast cancer from using the pill dwindles within 10 years after stopping the pill.

Liver cysts or hepatomas. I have yet to see a liver cyst or hepatoma linked solely to the use of the pill.

The greatest info associated with the Pill is weight gain. Yes, you may put on a few extra pounds over the first year, but this weight will stabilize - and is a lot less than you might gain with an unintended pregnancy.

Sugary Drinks and Sweets

It is natural to like sweets. And it is okay to enjoy them as an occasional treat, but it is vital to keep consumption to a minimum. Refined sugar is one of the bad carbs mentioned above. Not only does it cause problems with our blood sugar level, but it also uses up stored resources within our body (such as minerals and enzymes) in order to process the sugar. In addition there are many negative health effects that sugar contributes to including: hypoglycemia, suppression of the immune system, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, headaches, and depression.

Choose sweet treats that are home made or have naturally occurring sugar, such as fruits. Try making your favorite dessert with half or one-third less sugar than usual. Make dessert a special event once a week. Many foods have naturally occurring sugars, such as fruits, vegetables, grains and beans. Incorporate naturally sweet foods into your diet to help crowd out unhealthy sweets. Strawberries, apples, sweet potatoes or winter squash are all great options.

Avoid or severely limit sugary drinks – they are an easy way to pack calories and chemicals into your diet without even noticing it. One 12-oz soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar in it! And just because a soda is sugar-free doesn’t make it healthy. Recent studies have shown that the artificial sugar substitutes used in soft drinks may interfere with your body's natural regulation system and result in your overindulging in other sweet foods and beverages. Try water with a squeeze of lemon or water with a splash of 100% fruit juice.

Salt

Once again the problem with salt comes with the over-use and over consumption of processed salt most commonly used. It is best to limit sodium to 2,300 mg per day – the equivalent to one teaspoon of salt. Most of the salt in our diets comes from processed, packaged, restaurant, and fast food. Processed foods like canned soups or frozen meals can contain hidden sodium that can quickly surpass this recommended amount. Many of us are unaware of how much sodium we are consuming in one day.

Salt itself is not bad. A high quality sea salt can have up to 90 minerals, which are healthy for our body. Look for sea salt that has a reddish or brownish tint, has no coloring, additives, chemicals and has not been bleached.

1. Start Your Day With Breakfast

Breakfast fills your "empty tank" to get you going after a long night without food. Eating a good breakfast can help you do better in school. Easy to prepare breakfasts include: cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt with fruit, whole-grain waffles or even last night's pizza.

2. Get Moving

It's easy to fit physical activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see your friends. Take a 10 minute activity break every hour while you read, do homework or watch TV. Climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Try to do these things for a total of 30 minutes every day.

3. Snack Smart

Snacks are a great way to refuel. Choose snacks from different food groups - a glass of low-fat milk and a few graham crackers, an apple or celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins, or some dry cereal. If you eat smart at other meals, cookies, chips, and candy are okay for occasional snacking.

4. Work up a sweat

Vigorous work-outs, when you're breathing hard and sweating, help your heart pump better, give you more energy and help you look and feel your best. Start with a warm-up that stretches your muscles. Include 20 minutes of aerobic activity, such as running, jogging or dancing. Follow-up with activities that help make you stronger such as push-ups or lifting weights. Then cool-down with more stretching and deep breathing.

5. Balance your food choices - don't eat too much of one thing

You don't have to give up foods like hamburgers, french fries, and ice cream to eat healthfully. You just have to be smart about how often and how much of them you eat. Your body needs nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, fat, and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron, and calcium from a variety of foods

6. Get fit with friends or family

Being active is much more fun with friends or family. Encourage others to join you and plan one special physical activity event, like a bike ride or hiking, with a group each week.

7. Eat more grains, fruits, and vegetables

These foods give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Besides, they taste good! Try breads such as whole-wheat, bagels, and pita. Spaghetti and oatmeal are also in the grain group.

8. Join in physical activities at school

Whether you take a physical education class or do other physical activities at school, such as intramural sports, structured activities are a sure way to feel good, look good and stay physically fit.

9. Foods aren't good or bad

A healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many parts. Each part, or food, is different. Some foods may have more fat, sugar or salt, while others may have more vitamins or fibre. There is a place for all these foods. What makes a diet good or bad is how foods fit together. Balancing your choices is important. Fit in a higher-fat food, like pepperoni pizza, at dinner by choosing lower-fat foods at other meals. And don't forget about moderation. If two pieces of pizza fill you up, don't eat a third.

10. Make healthy eating and physical activities fun!

Take advantage of physical activities you and your friends enjoy doing together and eat the foods you like. Be adventurous - try new sports, games, and other activities as well as new foods. You'll grow stronger, play longer, and look and feel better! Set realistic goals - don't try changing too much at once.

I've got this good information from my friend about this great vegetable which can be found in the Philippines which is helpful for a person having a Diabetes and High in sugar. This is the email of my friend to me.

Last month, while watching a TV program, I learned of a treatment for High Blood Sugar (Diabetes). Since I am diabetic, I tried it and my Sugar is in control now. In fact, I have already reduced my medicines. Take two pieces of Lady Finger (Bhindi) and cut both ends of each piece. Furthermore, put a small cut in the middle and put these two pieces in a glass of water.Cover the glass and keep it at room temperature during night.

Early morning, before breakfast simply remove the two pieces of lady finger (bhindi) from the glass and drink that water. Keep doing it on a daily basis.Within two weeks, you will see remarkable results in the reduction of your SUGAR. My sister has gotten rid of her diabetes. She was on Insulin for a few years, but after taking the lady fingers every morning for a few months,she has stopped the Insulin but continues to take the lady fingers every day.

She chops the lady fingers into fine pieces at night, adds the water and drinks it all up the next morning.Please try it for it will not do you any harm. You have to keep taking it for a few months before you see results, as most cases might be chronic.

MANILA, Philippines—A friendly dare over three bottles of beer cost Manny Pacquiao a million dollars early Friday morning. Those beers could also make him at least $12 million richer.

Again showing how deeply he values friendship, Pacquiao finally relented to fight Ricky Hatton after trusted confidant Rex “Wakee” Salud, a non-drinker, accepted his dare to gulp down the beers during an informal meeting of Pacquiao’s inner circle at the Shangri-La in Makati.

Just like that and Pacquiao “threw away” his demand for a guaranteed purse of $13 million, and accepted a 52-48 percent revenue sharing in his favor to do battle with the British ring icon at 140 pounds (junior welterweight) on May 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“The world is looking forward to it, so the fight is on,” Pacquiao said on local radio. “I have spoken to Bob Arum,” he added, referring to the top honcho of Top Rank Inc. which promotes Pacquiao’s fights.

The development, which came a day after Pacquiao-Hatton was declared “off” when the world’s acknowledged best pound-for-pound boxer refused to sign the fight contract, elated Arum no end. According to Salud, the 76-year-old Arum was even contemplating on flying to Manila on Tuesday for the fight contract to be signed and sealed. But Pacquiao has spared him the trouble.

“Manny has assured me he’s signed the contract, that he’s announcing to the Philippines press that he’s signed it, and that everything’s done,” Arum told The Los Angeles Times Thursday night.

A report by American journalist Brad Cooney also affirmed that Arum had informed his counterpart, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, and celebrated trainer Freddie Roach of Pacquiao’s sudden change of mind.

Roach and Pacquiao intend to start training camp on March 1 at Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Hollywood.The original proposition for the Pacquiao-Hatton fight was a 50-50 revenue split. But Team Pacquiao, citing the Filipino’s universal appeal and his lopsided eight-round stoppage of Oscar De La Hoya on Dec. 6, balked and asked for a 60-40 division. The Hatton camp, pointing out that Britons generated around $20 million for Hatton’s losing effort against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in December, 2007, haggled for 52-48. Team Pacquiao asked for 55-45.

Salud, who for the past few days has been trying to convince Pacquiao to accept the $12-million guarantee and 52-48 division, was so ecstatic he was unable to sleep Friday. “It would be hard to get that kind of deal against any other fighter,” Salud said. Pacquiao’s fight against Hatton, most likely to be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, is expected to earn more money than his “Dream Match” against De La Hoya.

In fighting De La Hoya, Pacquiao was guaranteed $11 million and settled for a 62-38 revenue split in De La Hoya’s favor. Now, it’s Pacquiao’s turn to grab the bounty. Before Pacquiao confirmed the fight with Hatton was on, an Agence France-Presse report portrayed him as in combative mood.

“I want to fight Ricky Hatton if the terms are right and fair,” Pacquiao said. “Modesty aside, I did not become the best pound-for-pound fighter by fighting patsies on my way to the top.“I beat Oscar De La Hoya when he said he was still on top of his game.

I proved I can fight at any weight level and I won two different titles in two different divisions, also, last year. Now I say to Ricky Hatton, king of the 140-pound division, ‘Let’s get it on,’ without the middlemen... Now I say we fight.”

1. Do it for yourself. The motivation to lose weight and keep it off has to come from within you. If you're relying on gimmicky diets, you may still be hoping for some magical solution outside yourself.

2. Think 10 per cent. People who focus on losing just 10 per cent of their weight may have the best chance of long-term success. And dropping those first pounds produces the biggest health gains like decreased blood pressure, lower blood cholesterol and lower blood sugar, to name a few.

3. Take it one pound at a time. Crash weight loss programs rarely work. Even if you're able to stick with the severe calorie deprivation or the extreme energy output required, such quick-fix regimens leave you totally unprepared for the moderate but permanent changes needed to sustain the loss. Experts recommend that you strive to drop no more than half to one kilo a week while working to develop eating and activity habits that you can maintain for a lifetime.

4. Weigh in weekly. Evidence from several studies indicates that people who maintain weight loss hop on the scale at least once a week.

5. Get support. Finding a buddy to cheer you along will make the weight loss effort that much easier.

6. Expect to slip. Most people believe that you've got to do it all or it isn't worth doing. But that's not true. If you can't exercise the equivalent of walking 30 miles a week, it doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise at all. Make a start. Do what you can do. Something is always better than nothing.

7. Ease in. Just because you're suddenly burning to lose weight doesn't mean you should immediately plunge into full-throttle workouts. That's prescription for agony, injury and failure. And there's no rush. After all, if you want the weight loss to last, you'll be exercising for the rest of your life.

8. Make it fun. If you don't enjoy your workouts, you probably won't stick with them. For example, you could go dancing, play badminton, or take up a hobby that keeps you moving, like biking, hiking, or gardening.

9. Break it up. You don't have to do all your exercise in one long session. You'd burn just as many calories, and get nearly the same health benefits, by squeezing several shorter bursts of activity into your day.

10. Blend it in. You can exercise practically anytime, anywhere, without any special clothes or equipment. For example, deliberately park your car in the farthest corner of the parking lot, get off the bus one stop short of your destination, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or attack your housework vigorously. Counting up your minutes or mileage at the end of the day can provide an encouraging reward.

1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!

2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!

3. Quit Smoking
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

4. Reduce Stress
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds then float on them.

5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants. hum the tune daily.

6. Wear Your Seat Belt
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.

7. Floss Your Teeth
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss.

8. Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.

9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing.

10. Choose Your Parents Well
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.

When you eat, just eat. Don't read, watch TV or do your bills.

Limit eating to one room in the house. Establish a rule to have all your meals there, even snacks!

Make dinnertime special. Dim the lights, use pretty place mats and china, and arrange some fresh flowers for the table.

Start with a meal with a bowl of hearty, low-calorie soup. You probably won't want to eat as much during the rest of the meal.

Try not to eat when you're stressed. Do some deep breathing to relax, or sip a cup of hot herbal tea to feel calmer and more in control.

Don't leave serving dishes on the table. Who needs to be tempted?

Practice portion control. Measure out one reasonably sized helping at a time. Before you automatically go for seconds, ask yourself if you're really still hungry.

Eat complex carbohydrates (like vegetables and whole grains) first. You may as well fill up on healthy fare.

Savor each and every bite. You'll probably get more satisfaction from what you eat, which means you'll be less likely to overdo it.

Remember this rule: It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that you're full. So eat slowly in order to avoid outpacing your body's internal control mechanisms.

Clear the table as soon as you're finished. This will keep you from sitting around and picking when you're no longer hungry.

Ask someone else to clean up. Otherwise you may find yourself standing in the kitchen and absentmindedly noshing on the leftovers. Before you know it, you can easily consume the caloric equivalent of another entire meal.

Get out of the house when dinner's over. There's a good chance you'll feel refreshed and ready for a nice evening after you return.

Plan your meals. If you wait until you're already hungry to start thinking about lunch or dinner, you may take the easy way out and just grab whatever around.

Don't focus on what you can't eat. There are lots of yummy light foods you can have practically anytime you want.

Think of healthful food as energy food. Notice the lift that good-for-you foods deliver. Remember that eating them makes you strong.

Live one meal at a time. The idea that you must change how you eat for a lifetime can be overwhelming.

Store high-cal foods in opaque containers. If you can't see the cookies, you'll be much less tempted to have one--or two, or three...

Keep healthy snacks within reach. Put out bowls of luscious fresh fruit, and take time in the evening to cut up a bunch of veggies for a quick nibble the next day.

Shop like a European, and buy fresh food you'll eat right away. Avoid purchasing items "for later". Keep all extra edibles out of reach in an inaccessible place.

Give away what you don't want to eat. Just because you love to prepare delicious goodies doesn't mean you have to keep them. Try baking for a busy neighbor's kids or for an elderly relative.

Don't munch in the car. You can scarf down 1,000 calories while carpooling.

Use cheeses and meats as condiments. Instead of regarding these high-fat, high-cal foods as the focus of your meal, have them on the side. Healthful whole grains and other complex carbs like legumes and veggies should occupy your plate.

Avoid skipping meals, which may make you prone to reach for fatty and sugary foods later. Also, going without food for too long can slow your metabolism.

Limit caffeine intake. A few strong cups of coffee might get you off to a fast start, but you may crash later and feel moody--which can result in a desire to indulge.

Over the weekend, make a list of five healthful breakfasts. Check your list during the week when you're rushed.

Brush your teeth and floss after you eat. When your mouth feels fresh, you want to keep it that way.

Whatever you do, remember breakfast. One thing lots of overweight people have in common is going without a morning meal. A good breakfast can help you control your appetite for the rest of the day and get your metabolism humming.

Try getting up ten or 15 minutes earlier. You probably won't miss the sleep, and this way you'll have time to try out one of those good breakfasts on your list.

Beware of drinks with lots of calories. That includes the 20-ounce softdrinks as well as alcoholic beverages.

Birth control is a great way to control a country's population and a good family planning to raise a child. To undergo a birth control method you must follow these simple steps.

Having good sexual health does not mean that you have to remain completely abstinent from sex altogether. What it does mean is that you have to be careful, take precautions and most importantly take care of your body, since it’s the only one you have. Here are some easy ways to maintain good sexual health.

Step1

Always make sure you have protection with you. The one biggest mistake anybody can make when it comes to good sexual health is by not always carrying protection with them. If you do always carry protection with you, then you never have to worry if a spur of the moment intimacy occurs. 

Step2

Get tested and have a check-up regularly. The best way to maintain good sexual health is by frequently getting tested for STD’s and by following your doctor’s recommended annual physical plan. 

Step3

Get to know somebody before becoming intimate with them. By having sex with a stranger, you are essentially also having sex with anybody they have ever been with prior to you. You really should get to know them first, their habits and their sexual habits before sharing intimacy with them and putting yourself at risk. 

Step4

If you think you may have contracted something, see a doctor right away. Often time’s people will deny that they may have gotten infected with an STD, putting it out of their minds and ignoring the issue. If you think that there is even the smallest chance you have contracted a sexually transmitted disease, see a doctor and get tested right away.

It's a good way to have a healthy sexual life.
