HydroWorx Pools

Hi

This is a very interesting concept in pools. One would think there should be one in every seniors housing complex as well as in your local Physio facility. watch the video and check out the HydroWorx website.




I do not receive any compensation from HydroWorx and this is not a recommendation to buy the product. They sent me a link to their website and asked if I would link my blog to the site.

I must say that it looks very interesting as I have always been a supporter of water (aqua) therapy.

BHTV #22 – Olive Oil

BHTV #22 – Olive Oil: "

When people think of olive oil, they almost always think about the Mediterranean diet. That’s because olive oil is a key ingredient in many recipes from the Mediterranean region. However, because of it’s wonderful taste and amazing health benefits, olive oil is also growing in popularity outside the Mediterranean. That is no surprise because olive oil has a way of enriching and complimenting dishes, such as fish, pastas, meats, salads, soups and so forth. It really is a wonderful ingredient to add to almost any dish. So much so, that olive oil has become a staple in my household.

So, today I’m going to share the health benefits of olive oil that led me to fall in love with it and use it in so many of the dishes I prepare. I’ll also cover some important tips I learned in regards to choosing and storing olive oil. And of course, the show wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t mention a couple tasty ways that you can add a little more olive oil to your diet.

• Stress

• Anxiety

• Environmental factors such as loud noises or lights

Herbs For Colds And Flu

Herbs For Colds And Flu: "

The viruses are constantly changing as they spread, so just because someone has caught a cold that going around once, any immunity to that particular virus will be of little use if there is repeated infection. This is because the virus will have mutated into another form.

The herbal approach to treatment focuses on strengthening the body’s immune system, thus helping it to fight the virus, while relieving symptoms. Frequent colds can be a sign of a weakened immunity, they can also indicate a stressful lifestyle or poor diet, and medicine alone can’t help in these situations. Combating a cold at the first sign of symptoms is also important. Rather than trying to ignore the increasing catarrh and sore throat until the cold is full blown, start treatment immediately.

Echinacea is one of the best herbs to take to strengthen the immune system, also add plenty of garlic cloves in cooking. Anticatarrhals such as elderflower and yarrow can also ease symptoms. /cut down on refined carbohydrates ” white sugar and white flour products ” as these tend to encourage mucus, and eat plenty of fruit instead. Taking up to 5 g of vitamin C a day in divided doses can also help.

How to Start Exercising the Right Way

How to Start Exercising the Right Way: "

by Louanne Baelde

The toughest part about an exercise program is getting started. The best way to start exercises is to start slow and steady.

In order to change your lifestyle from sedentary to physically active, you need to have a workable plan.

Choose an exercise that you can practice easily all year round. Most people enjoy walking, swimming, jogging, and fitness videos. If you have a medical condition, be sure to consult your physician before you begin any type of vigorous activity.

Always begin your exercise slowly. Be sure to make it fun, not overly strenuous. Give yourself a chance to get used to the new activity. Allow yourself the necessary time to warm up before your exercise and as well, time to cool down afterwards. Five minutes for warm-ups and cool down times are often recommended. By doing warm-ups first, you will be less likely to injure yourself.

Aerobic exercises are a great way to remain healthy or even to lose or control your weight. Regular aerobic exercises help to prevent heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes and cancers. They can improve your muscles and strenghten your bones, and improve your flexibility. Aerobics can also lower your blood pressure, and lessen depression. Aerobic exercises include bicycling, swimming, stair climbing, hiking,running, walking, aerobic dancing and many other activities.

Aerobics use the large muscles in the legs and buttocks to strengthen your heart and lungs. These are called cardiovascular exercises. Regular aerobic exercises makes your heart stronger.

Establish a reasonable schedule by allowing certain days to be off. It is good to exercise at least three times a week. A well thought out schedule will continue and be more productive on the long run. An example would be to exercise maybe every other day with two or three days off every week. Begin your exercise moderately at first with maybe only 30 minutes per day. Make time for several different activities. If you find that 30 minutes is too long of a time at once, break up your session into shorter intervals such as maybe two sessions of 15 minutes. Don’t stop exercising if your muscles hurt at the start; that’s normal and this will gradually decrease and disappear in time. If you experience any severe pain or swelling, make sure to stop.

Choose a convenient time of the day to exercise. When exercising, it’s best to wait a while after eating or to wait till the weather cools off if it is too warm.

Make sure to wear shoes that you can breathe in and that allow enough room for comfort, but yet properly support your feet.

Have a goal in mind and plan to achieve it gradually. A great way to track your success is to use a chart. You could maybe list the minutes you exercise each day.

To succeed, you must stick with your plan of exercise. Make time to reward yourself for each accomplishment. As you progress, you can increase your levels of exertion over time.

Insomnia: No Need to Lose Sleep Over This!

Insomnia: No Need to Lose Sleep Over This!: "

Insomnia is a very common and disturbing problem. It estimated that about 15% of the population is currently suffering from insomnia and that as much as 80% of the overall population has suffered from poor sleep quality in their life.

Besides creating tiredness and a general sense of irritability, insomnia is also responsible for considerable working days missed from the sleepless worker. Furthermore, the quality of work dispensed by a person who did not benefit from a sufficient night of sleep is non optimal.

A person suffering from insomnia should always consult her doctor to get the proper examinations and diagnosis. When a diagnosis of insomnia is made, a person should sincerely ask herself what she can do to improve her condition.

Too often people tend to “pop a pill” hoping that the magic will happen and that they will “cure” their insomnia. Studies have shown that sleeping pills do not provide the same depth of sleep that helps the mind and the body to fully recuperate. The artificially induced sleep by pills does not provide the same level and quality of sleep a healthy body requires. Furthermore, many pills have potential serious side effects and should not be taken fro a prolonged period.

There are well known substances that can affect the overall quality and quantity of sleep. Such factors that can cause insomnia or poor quality of sleep are: caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks and the so-called “energy drinks”), tobacco, alcohol, other stimulants, etc

It is a misconception that alcohol helps to sleep. It has a first effect as a depressant but has a rebound effect of diminishing the quality of the remaining sleep during the night.

It is a proven fact that exercising helps liberate adrenaline during the exercises and later natural endorphins, our natural “feel happy” hormones. One should exercise at least two hours before going to bed in order to benefit the most from the exercise and not be excited from the exercises thus interfering with their sleep.

Taking naps is becoming more and more common and North Americans are catching-up with this healthy habit. Naps should be short and not taken after dinner as they might interfere with the actual night of sleep.

A proper sleeping environment is a must: the room should be dark during the sleep and noise kept to a minimum. Proper lighting during the day helps to harmonize with the daily cycles. In countries where daylight is very rare (especially in winter) or for people working during night shifts, the proper lighting during the day can greatly help in achieving a good quality of sleep.

Proper hydration is very important to insure optimal body functioning, sleeping included. It is recommended to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. It is also a very good habit to start and finish your day by drinking a good glass of purifying water.

Stress can be a major contributing factor in the cause of insomnia. The good news is that stress can be controlled and overcome with the proper help. Hypnosis has been proven very efficient in numerous studies to greatly reduce the level of stress and consequently improving the quality of sleep a person feels. By allowing the person to push away all her concerns when night comes and fall into a rejuvenating sleep, hypnosis can be considered a natural and ideal solution to insomnia.

BHTV #14 – Red, Red Wine

BHTV #14 – Red, Red Wine: "

Many people enjoy drinking a glass of red wine with dinner or sometimes dessert. After all, a glass of red wine goes very nicely with meat, red pasta, certain cheeses and even chocolate. In fact, wine is so popular these days that wine bars have been popping up all over the United States. In some areas, they have become the local hangout, competing with coffee shops and bars.

So, since wine is “in” these days, and gets a lot of coverage for its health benefits, this week’s topic is red wine. So, sit back and enjoy the show!

FRUSTDYSLEXIARATION...Cofusing?

Hi everyone

OVERCOMING THE
FRUSTRATION OF
DYSLEXIA

Many people in the world today suffer from a condition known as Dyslexia. It can be a very frustrating experience for both the person and his friends and family.

An older edition of the Awake magazine published by Jehovah's Witnesses offers excellent information on dealing with the condition.

It begins this way.

" 'WHAT is your telephone number?' asks Julie. The caller replies. But the figures Julie jots down bear little relation to the number given.

'My teacher tore up the picture I painted,’ laments Vanessa, adding, 'I could never remember what she was saying.’

David, in his 70's, struggles to read simple words that he mastered more than six decades earlier.

Julie, Vanessa, and David have a learning difficulty—a frustrating one. It is dyslexia. What causes this condition? How can dyslexics overcome the frustration it provokes?"

Brainfitness...Why we all need it.!...

Welcome

Do you think that diet and exercise is the key to a fit body? Would you pig out every day on a steady diet of fast foods, Rocky Road ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, potato chips and soft drinks? Would you kick back in your favorite chair watching the tube all day, every day? Would you surf the net all day, every day, never taking a break . Just siting there with eyes glued to the screen, pushing the little mouse around and clicking every now and then.

How would your body feel about that? Not too great...Right?

Well what about the three pounds of grey matter between your ears? Do the same thing,..............get the same result!

Let me introduce you to another great web site by Posit Science called Brainfitness.



Here is what they say about themselves:

"Not long ago, most scientists believed the brain became “hard-wired” during childhood, and that there was little you could do to improve its function once you entered adulthood. Not anymore. The scientific community now accepts that the brain retains its plasticity—the ability to rewire itself for better function—throughout life. This website is dedicated to educating the public about the brain and cognition, how (and why) the brain can change during the course of life, and what you can do to sharpen your brain."


So let's go find out just what Brainfitness is and why we need it!...

I happened to address a couple of lines of my comment to Rosie's previous comment and the next thing Rosie is following me on Twitter (you all know how this web 2.0 thing works)

Well it turns out that Rosie (not her real name) is an author and has written a ton of articles and books on the topic of wight loss.

Her bio starts off this way:

"Weight control diet advice. What would I know and how did I get to know it? Who am I anyway?

My name is Rosie Peters. Actually, it's not - that's my pen name. I've used it over the last 10 years for the educational textbooks I have written in Australia. It's a combination of the names of my older dog and my long deceased cat."

Rosie has a free e book on her site "Weight Control Diet Advise"

Her free book is called "Lose Weight Today" Click Here to get your copy.

Rosie has also written other books and articles. Click Here to read Rosie's articles

I hope that you enjoyed meeting Rosie as much as I have. I am always amazed at the talent of people that we meet on the net.

I will be introducing more of my ever growing group of interesting "Net Friends" in future posts.

If you read my last post you will know that I am working on my newest project "Fun And Featured 09" hash tag FAF09 but more on that in a future post.

In the meantime if you know of anyone (including yourself) that would like to be part of FAF09 just leave me a comment on this post. Thanks!

Till next post,

An Open Letter!...To Whom It May Concern

Hello Everyone

This is an open invitation to anyone on the web who would like to participate in a marketing test.

The idea is to feature business by products and giving one of them away to one entrant that contributes some content by way of an experience or story relating to the product being featured.

An example might be: If the product were an ebook the entry might require the person to tell us about thier favourite ebook or ebooks. (this builds content)

This is an open letter, however I am limiting the number of participants to 26 (for this test) so if you wish to join in then don't hesitate. Let me know right away.

I must confess this is not my idea. My friend Laura-Jane has been doing this on her blog "Whimfield" for a number of weeks now. I have given her idea a slight twist to see if it will change the results.

This can be a very fun way to increase friends, learn and promote products and businesses all at the same time.

Now here is the letter...

My name is Gary and I have a fun web idea that I think would be of great benefit to your company..

Over the next year I would like to build a list of twenty six web sites that I could feature to my growing group of friends (over 300 now and getting bigger every day) I have chosen to invite your business to be featured.

At the same time I would like to continue to grow a much larger group of friends and have some fun while learning and sharing at the same time by giving away twenty six products. (one every two weeks)

To make this happen I will be using the very latest web 2.0 marketing tools. (yep the social sites like Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and Friend feed etc.)

These are very powerful tools and reach litterly millions of readers every day.

How can you be part of my "Fun And Featured" idea?

Simply contribute one of the twenty six products. It could be an electronic, or real product (your choice but the more value the better)

You give me the details of your business and the product and I add you to my list of to be featured sites (your own blog post and link love gives Search Engine ranking) and place your product details in the cue to be given away at the earliest available giveaway date.

Once the product has been given away I will provide the winner's information and you will ship the product to the winner.

Simple, easy and effective. Only the cost of your one product and shipping is your ticket to growing your business on the most effective marketing medium today. (Web 2.0)

I will continue to feature your business (every week, possibly for years) to my growing group of friends and the millions of web 2.0 users, using the very latest web 2.0 marketing tools. An example might be a blog post listing and linking the top 25, 50, 75 or 100 of my favorite all time products.

If you are interested in joining me in featuring your business in this way just respond/comment to this blog post with a statement of agreement, the details of your product to give away and your commitment to ship the product (once given away) to the winner. Also include your contact information. (email etc.)

As soon as I have a commitment from the first twenty six businesses to respond we will launch the project. (this could happen within the next thirty days)

If you have questions and /or require additional information please contact me at any of the following.
