Miracle Heart Drug Causes Cancer? This is Insane! are There Safer Alternatives?

On the first page In USA Today (July 25, 2008) the opening paragraph states: “A study that unexpectedly linked the heart drug Vytorin to excess cancer deaths has provoked controversy among heart specialists worried that the drug’s risk may outweigh its benefits.” Apparently the purpose of the drug is to help relieve and even prevent a persons concern that heart valve problems may occur by using this drug to reduce cholesterol.

The only problem is that this same article above states: “The 2,000- patients SEAS study found a roughly 70% increase in the risk of dying from cancer.” I don’t know about you, but even though I may not want to disturb Merck and Shering-Plough’s drug companies alleged 4 billion dollar a year sales for this type of drug, (they must be nice companies trying to help people), if I were suffering from high cholesterol and my doctor prescribed this for me, I’d quickly run for the office door and yell: This is Insane, There Must Be a Better Way!

I’d sure try to find a better way, like naturally trying to get my body in better shape, improving my diet (eating good food while avoiding the bad), get regular moderate exercise, improve my lifestyle and manage stress better, take nutritional supplements like Fish Oil and other nutritionals to help my body function better and I would work with a doctor more alternatively inclined to sit down with me and tell me that all life’s problems aren’t solved by taking chemicals and drugs.

Personally, in addition to improving the above areas of my life and working with a “healthy advocate doctor” I want to logically find safer nutritional alternatives that would also help support my new healthier body, like using a product called Circulatory Support that has all in one product ingredients like: Nattokinase, Bromelain, L-Carnitine, Organic Pomegranate, Hawthorn Berry, Green Tea, Grape Seed Extract, Vitamin D3, Cayenne and Resveratrol that may help support my bodies cells to aid more natural healthy Blood flow while giving me some Extra Energy enhancement at the same time.

I’d also look for a CoQ10 Supreme type product that has the up to 8 times more bioavailable Ubiquinol form of CoQ10 that my heart cells would find Energizing and that would help enhance and support my circulatory system to perform better. I’d add a great multivitamin like Four A Day and with an added Fish Oil product; I would step back and logically say: Now this is a sane approach.

How To Lose Weight Without Leaving Your Home Or Office

If finding time to work out is tough for you to balance, then it may be time to adjust some of your common activities. Despite what many people think, you do not have to dedicate hours of your time or copious amounts of space towards your exercise routine. In fact, for many busy people, exercising has become as simple as squeezing in ten-minute sets of sit-ups or 30-minute sessions at a local gym.

No matter where you work or live, here are some tips to help you fit in some extra weight-loss strategies into your daily routine:

1. Squat often. Many people spend a solid 2-3 minutes twice a day brushing their teeth. As they brush, they stand still in front of the mirror. If you added a few lunges or squats to that routine, then you would spend a solid 4-6 minutes a day working out those important thigh muscles. The thigh muscles are one of the largest muscle groups in your body. Not only are they the quickest to be transformed once you start to work them out, but they also help you lose weight quicker when they are loaded with muscles instead of fat. Therefore, work out this large muscle group to get toned up and slimmed down quickly.

2. Lift the jug while pouring the milk. If you have milk or juice with your breakfast, spend a few minutes doing curls with the bottles as your coffee brews. The early-morning burst of energy and muscle activity will help you raise your body’s metabolism for the rest of the day. You’ll also find that by making small work-out sessions the first thing you do in the morning, you are more likely to continue to do them throughout the day.

3. Take a double step. While walking up the stairs, take a double step instead of just one. By extending your leg slightly higher, you are increasing the angle from about45 degrees to 90 degrees. The increased angle means that your muscles will have to work harder to get your body up the stair than if you were taking smaller steps.

4. Tip toe even when you’re not trying to be quiet. By tiptoeing around your home or office, you will find that your calves benefit the most from the extra effort. Stay as high on your toes as possible for a long amount of time. Or, raise and lower your body using only your calf muscles. The more you work those calf muscles, the tighter they will be in the long run.

5. Roll your neck. Most people store a large amount of their stress in their necks. When you keep stress in your body, it affects the amount of fat that you retain in your belly negatively. Therefore, by rolling the stress out of your neck, you inadvertently release the fat storage from your stomach. The effects of this exercise are both immediate, as you will begin to feel relaxed, as well as long term, as your entire body starts to slim down.

No matter how busy you are, it is important that you take time out to treat your body well. Stress, caused by a busy lifestyle and fast-paced work environment can not only increase the fat on you body, but it can deplete you of the energy you need to exercise properly. Therefore, it is important that you remind yourself to take care of your body, even if you cannot sample New Jersey’s wonderful parks and gyms everyday. A little movement goes a long way to a healthier lifestyle.

Worklife Balance: Reduce Stress by Improving Decisions

To many women the following story will be all too familiar.  After a day of office slog you fetch the kids, listen to their stories, rush to the supermarket, get home, supervise homework, manage bath-time, pack sandwiches and tog bags, cook dinner, have the necessary arguments about who can or can’t do what and finally  you get the little trolls to bed.  Sometime during this treadmill of domestic grind, hubby waltzes in, puts his feet up, watches TV, demands dinner, scoffs it, heads back to the TV and then starts thrusting his crotch at you to let you know that sex is next on his agenda. 

We’ve also heard many an Agony Aunt advising us to improve our planning and time-management or send the kids to friends so that you can fit him in; both literally and figuratively.

I don’t know about you but I get annoyed by the nonsense advocating that women should make more time to keep on meeting everyone else’s needs but their own.  For starters what these well-meaning control-freaks don’t get is that planning or scheduling and organising a date or week-end with him takes more time; the one precious resource that exhausted women are short of.

Never have I heard an Agony Aunt advise women to stop behaving like the family’s slave and only to meet his every need when you too are in the mood.  With almost a quarter of working women bringing home more bacon than their men, isn’t it time we learned that doing it all, to have it all, is too hefty a price to pay for the modicum of financial freedom women have gained? 

It would seem that many women are happy to do things for their children but they draw the line at having to satisfy the regular demands of his broomstick in your back at bedtime. 

When it comes to sex, lots of women develop avoidance strategies about going to bed and invent all sorts of things that need doing so that he will be snoring by the time she gets there.  Alternatively, women get there first and – even if he arrives a few minutes later – they are masters at pushing out zzz’s pretending to be deep in slumber.

If sex is the best fun we can have with or without our clothes on, then why are women developing crafty strategies to avoid the encounter? 

Perhaps matters would improve if women let their men know that males are least sexually desirable when lazing on the sofa while the sports channel deafens the rest of the family.

I’ve often wondered why men endure all that sweat at the gym if that same finely tuned rear-end is hidden by sinking it into the couch cushions thereafter?  It’s time that males learnt that women are turned on by men’s butts but only if those same buns are actively behind the vacuum cleaner or can be admired when he’s up to his elbows in soap-suds at the kitchen sink. 

So if their sexual demands aren’t met then men should be questioning what they are doing to free up their woman’s energy so that she can enjoy an active sex life.

Okay, I know that many women think this is unrealistic and fear that not meeting his demands (like cooking, cleaning and picking up after him) will end in divorce. 

Many are also concerned that by ignoring his sexual needs he may seek keener pastures.  But the truth is that if he’s the type who doesn’t value your mutual commitment, no matter how well serviced he is at home, he’s going to stray anyway.

The more important question is; when are women going to start considering what they are getting out of the relationship.  If he is not an asset physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually then – like another of your children – he is simply a dependent. 

If this is the case then what is there to cling onto in the partnership?

Many women submit to men’s demands because they resign themselves to the lifelong habit of fulfilling society’s unrealistic expectations of what it means to be a woman.  The tradition of sacrificing ones needs and wishes for others harks back to the dark ages.  Since when is it a woman’s responsibility to work like a man and still be a slave to all the unpaid labour at home? 

If women are to strike a better work/life balance then it requires a lot more than some superficial planning and scheduling.  More importantly it’s about making difficult choices. 

The truth is we either live according to society’s demands – and make ourselves unhappy in the process – or please ourselves and put up with other people’s disapproval.  A happy medium is achieved by weighing up our options in each situation and deciding which demands we’re going to follow – our own or those of society.  

Constantly compromising yourself to meet other people’s needs is one of the main causes of depression in women.  On the other hand only considering yourself will make you self-involved and selfish.

Compromising things that matter to you puts your happiness at risk but there’s also no point in constantly taking him to task about his lack of involvement at home. 

When women nag, men retaliate by developing the knack of selective hearing.  They are prepared to put up with the whining because they know that afterwards you will continue doing everything for them. So instead of nattering about his shortcomings stop doing the things that irritate you. 

In a progressive province in India women became so fed up with men’s behaviour that they successfully organised a no-cooking strike for a few days.  There’s nothing like a rumbling tummy to get a man to change his ways and if rolling mass action isn’t for you then declare a personal strike at home.  Of course you may have to put up with a filthy house for a week or two but this is a small price to pay for appreciable change. 

In her presidential campaign Hillary Clinton appropriated the African saying that it takes a village to raise a child and we women could ease our burden by remembering that it is not a condition of being female to be solely responsible for all and sundry in the family. 

Men have the same appendages at the end of their arms as women do and these can be quite handy if put to work at home.  Children too need to learn to live independently and the only way for them to ultimately become self-sufficient is to be given more responsibility over time.

Often women unwittingly make a rod for their backs by doing too much for husbands and children.  They do so in a desperate bid to gain acknowledgement. All that really happens though is the family gets into the habit of seeing you as a doormat so, instead of appreciation, you’ll just be taken for granted. 

By facing difficult choices and not doing the things that exhaust you, you can trade-in the rod you’ve made for your back.  With the energy you retrieve you could then start calling the shots about if, when and how you may wish to take pleasure in his broomstick.

The real estate mantra ‘location, location, location’ could equally well describe the  preoccupation many people have about getting it right in bed; so much so that perfectionism has reduced sex to little more than position, position, position.  This kind of pressure is supposedly all about being creative between the sheets … or should I say on the kitchen table, perhaps with you served up as the whores d’vour?

Starting with ancient sex manuals like the Kama Sutra, much has been written about spicing up your sex life.  But how many of us get turned on by flipping through a manual while trying to crack a hand-stand in pursuit of a new, more imaginative position? 

It stands to reason that the longer you and your partner have been together the more you’re likely to get into the same old habits. But, if the routine satisfies both of you, then what’s the issue with sticking to positions like the missionary, spooning or styles inspired by Fido? 

The missionary got both its name and a bad rep because the idea of male-on-top suited the establishment’s ideas on what was deemed ‘decent’ in the bedroom.  Anyone who has tried it will know that the missionary is one of the hardest positions from which to satisfy a woman and it was only relevant during times when delighting in coitus was considered wicked for women. 

But if the missionary blows your pubic hair back, chuck out the manuals that suggest otherwise and get on with whatever you consider constitutes a good time.

The idea of inventive sex was initiated to break the missionary mould but today the obsession with ‘getting it right’ has made men and women so guarded and self-conscious that it has sucked the creative juices right out of the reality of being satisfactorily laid.  

It’s common knowledge that creativity and perfectionism cannot co-exist, so if you are fixated about which body part may or may not be shaved and whether you are revealing your cellulite or that wobbly bum, then no matter what position you take, sex will just end up being a mission.

The funny thing about vaginas and penises is that both are quite simple tools to operate; neither needs a complicated instruction manual.  The problem is not the tools so much as the workman and, as each of us enjoys different things, the only direction required is to guide your partner to the hotspots that turn you on. 

Humans have been enjoying sex for thousands of years without having to rely upon manuals, toys and faux nurse’s outfits.   So whether you’re getting your rocks off camping in a cave, soaking in a Jacuzzi or having sex on the beach, the only position important to take is to make sure you’re having fun.

Fun and creativity are products of spontaneity and no one can be spontaneous when we plan a strategy as to where, when, how and for how long we’re going to let our hair down.  Structure destroys imagination and when your toes are pinning back your ears, little could be more off-putting than having to turn to page 64 to find out where his arms and legs belong. 

Sex manuals may be good to spark off some new ideas but, once you’re all fired up, put the book down and let your creative urges rise.  It doesn’t really matter what position you land up in as long as you both enjoy getting there.

Do take some precautions though.  I knew a couple who had a preference for backseat bonking at insane hours of the morning.  On one occasion they chose a quiet golf-course parking lot thinking that the only balls in play would be swung by something flimsier than a five-iron.   However, upon reaching the crescendo they were unexpectedly applauded by a group of early-rising caddies who were overjoyed by such an extraordinary hole-in-one.

Laughter releases tension and can also ease awkward moments so, if you want him pitching tents in his Boxers, being naturally playful is more likely to get the big top up than assuming a position.  

Performance anxiety affects both men and women making it difficult for either to rise to the occasion.  Trying too hard will put the kibosh on creativity and this never-ending quest to get sex right is, in fact, the only way to get it really wrong. 

So, for all you’ve ever wanted to know about your position on positions, just ask your fertile imagination and let the hay roll from there on.

Definition of Anxiety – When Stress Goes Out of Control

In principle anxiety doesn’t have to be bad, we can’t simply jump to the definition of an illness, in fact according to the National Institute Of Mental Health; anxiety is defined as a normal reaction to stress. It usually helps people to deal with a number of stressful situations, for example; a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech, etc. In short we could say that anxiety is good for our survival when it’s present in normal amounts.

But the real problems begin when this normal anxiety starts getting out of control and suddenly you find yourself completely overwhelmed by anxiety feelings, and apparently you can’t find a way out of these feelings and recurrent thoughts, and getting rid of this intimidating sensations presents as an impossible task to do. Once this has happened we know that anxiety as turned into an illness.

From what has been said above, the definition of anxiety, as an illness, can be stated as a medical illness involving the feelings of intense fear, anxiety or worry. This feelings can be associated with specific objects or situations or the feelings can simply appear, apparently from nowhere and causing the patient to modify many of his daily life routines and sometimes seriously impeding the developing of a normal life. In short, an anxiety illness could be defined as the presence of excessive worry and fear without an apparent reason to feel so.

Anxiety disorders can be subject to a sub classification, for example we have: obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorders, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias and generalized anxiety disorder. They are all variations of the same out of control anxiety involving your life and your mind plays a big role in letting the feelings stay or get rid of them, you just have to know how to do it. For your surprise it doesn’t have to be hard and can be faster than you think.

How to Respond to Stress And Binge Eating

Stressed out? No Need to Resort to Binge Eating!

From the moment the buzzing alarm clock jolts us out of a sound sleep, most of us whiz through the day under stressful conditions. Finally, after everyone else has gone to bed, curling up on the couch with a pint of ice cream seems to be the best way to unwind.

Yet even when we know in our minds that ‘comfort foods’ won’t solve our problems, many of us still find ourselves overeating when we’re under stress. There are reasons for this and ways you can resist the urge to binge.

Responding to Stress

Why does feeling stressed cause us to overeat? For one, eating is an effective way to temporarily forget about our problems. When we focus on food, we escape from our problems, at least for a little while. We’ve probably learned from past situations that food enables us to do this. And so eating distracts us during times of stress, and it feels good. Think about it, how many times have you run out of the office to grab some candy when you’re having trouble tackling a problem at work, or meeting a deadline?

There are physiological explanations as to why we feel calmer when we eat. As blood flows from the brain to the stomach for digestion, we start to feel at ease, and ultimately relaxed.

When we gorge ourselves with food, we escape in a somewhat ‘unconscious’ way. Binging on very large amounts of carbohydrates produces a ’sugar high,’ which can result in a ‘numb’ feeling, taking us away from what we really feel.

In addition, the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands into the bloodstream during stressful times causes levels of serotonin, a hormone responsible for relaxed and content feelings, to decrease. Theories based on animal studies suggest that decreased levels of serotonin causes increased cravings for carbohydrate-rich foods, and once carbohydrate-rich foods are consumed, feelings of relaxation and contentedness resume.

Immediate Solutions to Prevent Eating in Response to Stress

So what can you do when you feel the urge to binge? Well, there are lots of different things to do!
Here are 20 activities you can do instead of grabbing those cookies or chips when you feel an overwhelming desire to eat. Before you try these suggestions, however, make a deal with yourself-that is, if you wish to have a specific food, you can have it, but only after you’ve done three things on the list below.

Here are 20 Things You Can Do Instead of Eating:
1. Read a book or your favorite fitness magazine
2. Search for a Web site, on a topic that is of interest to you but that you haven’t had time to pursue
3. Go for a walk
4. Call or email a friend
5. Write in a journal
6. Go window-shopping
7. Play a game with your spouse, children, or pets, whether it’s Frisbee or fetch, checkers or chess
8. Do an exercise video, or hit the gym for aerobics, weightlifting, or yoga
9. Tackle some household chores: dust, vacuum, balance the checkbook, etc.
10. Take a long bath or shower
11. Start your holiday gift list both gifts to give, and gifts to receive
12. Alphabetize your books, CDs, videotapes, spice rack…
13. Do some outside chores: work in the garden, mow the lawn, rake leaves, or shovel snow
14. Meditate or pray
15. Work on a craft project that will keep your hands busy: knitting, needlepoint, painting, woodworking, etc.
16. Crank up your stereo and dance around the living room
17. Try on old clothes. Clothes that are now too big as well as clothes that are still too small
18. Research healthy recipes to prepare for the coming week, and make a shopping list
19. Brush your teeth, use a strong mouthwash, then pop in a piece of extra-minty gum
20. Start, or add to, a scrapbook of your weight loss journey. Include photos, motivational articles, and your own thoughts and feelings

Longer-term Solutions

The best way to decrease the urge to binge on high-calorie foods when experiencing stressful feelings is to get at the root of the problem: that is, get at the root of what’s eating you.

Figure out what is causing the stress, and address the problem immediately. For example, if you are stressed about your job, find ways to cope with the problem. This can mean talking with friends and family, or speaking with a mental health professional. Talking about a stressful situation helps us to feel calm and connected to others, which can help to relieve feelings of frustration and confusion.

Another feeling that causes stress and subsequent overeating is the feeling of helplessness, and lack of control. A good way to approach this feeling is to focus on the things that you do have control over, and can make a difference in. For example, try volunteering at a local hospital, or delivering meals to the elderly. Certainly avoiding excess calories and exercising regularly are examples of things we have control over and things that we should focus on.

Other Suggestions for Dealing With Stress Over the Long-Term.

Consume a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, and limit alcohol and caffeine.

As mentioned above, theories suggest that the presence of carbohydrates can help to increase production of serotonin, the chemical responsible for making us feel relaxed and at ease. Whether or not this is actually true, it is probably worth a try, especially given the fact that a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet offers many other benefits, such as weight loss and protection against heart disease. For meals, choose whole-wheat pasta with shrimp and steamed vegetables, or a large baked potato with broccoli and low-fat cheddar. Fruits, pretzels, popcorn, yogurts, puddings, and energy bars are all good ideas for snacks.

As caffeine can further stimulate the central nervous system, thereby intensifying the stress response, it’s best to avoid caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and colas. In addition, alcohol intake should be minimized, as it can increase appetite and decrease control over eating behavior.

Exercise!

Research shows that exercise can help to reduce stress. It can help us to ‘vent’ negative emotions, and it helps to boost our endorphins, or ‘feel-good’ hormones, ultimately improving our mood. Exercise also decreases our appetite, helping us to consume fewer calories. Try to engage in a regular exercise routine, even if that just means going for a 10-minute walk every day. Finding exercise buddies can be a great way to connect with others and do your body good at the same time.

Incorporate relaxation techniques as part of your daily routine.

Yoga, meditation, or even deep breathing can help to take the edge off. Visualizing a peaceful place can be a soothing way to ‘escape’ from reality, for just a few needed seconds.

Office Yoga: Warm Up Exercises for Corporate Yoga

Although Office Yoga practice resembles Chair Yoga routines, there is usually a difference in the mobility of the average participant. Chair Yoga is most commonly seen in senior centers, nursing homes, assisted living complexes, physical rehabilitation units and adult day care centers. On the other hand, Office Yoga is taught to the “work force,” which should be more mobile than the average senior citizen, but there are always exceptions.

What are Office Yoga warm up exercises like?

You can begin in a seated or standing posture, but most office workers should get up and out of the chair. Circular movements are good for massaging internal organs and swishing synovial fluid around the joints. Synovial fluid lubricates your joint surfaces and sends nutrients to the cartilage within your joints.

One of the most important things to remember is that slow and controlled circular movement for most joints is fine. However, the neck and knees demand special attention. The neck is not a “ball and socket” joint, so it is not designed for excessive friction. Any neck warm ups should be linear and you should avoid forcing or hyper-extending your neck at all times.

The knees should avoid excessive rotation and friction. If you wish to swish synovial fluid around the knee joint, you should lift one foot off the floor and slowly move the knee forward and back. You can also move the knee in circles, with one foot off the ground, but the hip and ankles will move with it, which is fine.

Once both feet are on the ground, the knee is often the axis of movement. When performing Arm Swings, which are a common warm up exercise in Yoga class, the knee rotates along with a full body motion.

For example: When you swing to the left, the right knee bends, the right heel should rise off the floor, and there is no excessive torque put on the left knee. So the swing is controlled and you should be mindful of both knees in order to avoid excess friction, force, or torque.

Shoulder shrugs are a priceless warm up for an Office Yoga class. This is a stress relieving exercise, as well as a warm up. Many office workers have stress build up in the back, shoulders, and neck. With that said, the shoulder shrug is a preventative exercise for headaches, back spasms, and neck pain. These are just a sampling of the most common ailments office workers have from excessive sitting and typing.

Is Your Work Stress Causing You Headache?

Work is bondage, work is liberation! Work is suffering, work is the bliss! Thus goes the wise saying in the sacred Oriental Texts. The detailed comments and analysis on this could be the matter for a big book. Here I will discuss the facts related to work stress only.

It is difficult to single out the causes related to work stress and headache. Stress at home could be the reason for your headache at office or vice versa.

Headache due to work stress may be due to various direct causes. The nature of work that you do could be the contributing factor. If you are sitting for example on the front desk, in places like railway station or any other counter you need to deal with hundreds of people. Your day is bound to spend with varying confusion causing queries.

At times, you may have to skip your lunch due to the over pressure of work on you. The frequent arguments that you have with some of your clients could be another headache contributing reason for you.

For a woman, if she is a homemaker, there could be several causes of stress related headache. Firstly, she may simply be unable to cope up with the domestic work. And, if she is a working woman, the combination of work stress at office and her domestic duties are going to challenge her physical as well as mental strength. She may experience continuous headache on these accounts.

Many times, the remedy becomes worst than the disease. When you have headache, possibly to counter it, you go on taking coffee, tea or any other soft drinks. The reputation of these drinks is well known to you. You have a feeling that there is some reduction in the level of headache, but it is actually not so. Caffeine content in these items is not the cure, but one of the underlying causes of headache. By making a habit of taking such drinks, you are only nurturing your headache.

To tackle headache due to work stress, you need to understand the causes of stress and the nature of your work. You need to budget your time and draw a work schedule. Your place of work is your place of worship, do your best for it, and then forget the rest. Do not give importance for the situations not created by you. Your patience and understanding can solve many of the problems, and consequently lighten your stress.

No matter what kind of work we do, stress is part of our lives. We can reduce our stress levels, but we can’t eliminate it. We can learn to control it and live with it. When you are able to eliminate the causes of work stress, your headache will be a thing of the past.
