- Carbohydrates intake: 60% of your diet
- Protein intake: 25% of your diet
- Fat intake 15% of your diet
- Cholesterol intake: 300 mg
- Sodium intake: 1000 to 3000 mg
- Fiber intake: 25-30 mg

2. As we grow older, our metabolism slows down gradually, our activity declines, and there is a tendency to eat more.

3. Serious and quick dieting may harm rather than help you. It may interfere with hormonal regulation, blood sugar regulation, and lead to unhealthy preoccupation with food, binge eating, and weight obsession.

4. The benefits of exercise are numerous. Some are enumerated as follows: it will make you lose weight, lower your blood lousy type of cholesterol, increase the healthy type of cholesterol, improve your blood sugar metabolism, reduce your risk of heart disease, lower you blood pressure and heart rate, improve your lean muscle mass, and improve your muscle tone, endurance, and range of motion.

5. One gram of protein or one gram of sugar, each provides 4 calories, whereas one gram of fat provides 9 calories.

6. Never starve yourself then binge eat. Try to spread your food intake throughout the day. Have multiple small frequent snacks in the mid-mornings and afternoons. Take any leftover food when you dine out for a later treat. Eat low-fat food whenever it is possible.

7. Eat lots of onions and garlic. These are very healthy nutrients that are good for your heart and blood pressure. They are also natural antibiotics and improve your immunity. Mild cooking of garlic for less than a minute may get rid of its smell yet preserves its benefits.

8. Try to avoid beer as it contains very high percentage of empty calories and sugar. Wine is not bad for the heart but grape and cranberry juices are the healthiest.

9. Try to add ginger on your cooking. It is also good for immunity and acts as a smooth muscle relaxant. Smooth muscle is located in your sphincters, gut, and vessels.

10. Try to use fresh vegetables rather than frozen ones. Some vitamins’ effects may change with that. The same applies on meat, juice, and fruits.

11. Fish is the best meat you can eat. It contains large amounts of polyunsaturated fats. These are the healthy type of fats that protect from heart disease. It is recommended you eat the skin of fish also as it contains too many fresh minerals.

12. It is also recommended to eat all vegetables and fruits with their skin, except for common sense ones like bananas and oranges. These will provide you with good quantity of fiber. Fiber forms stool bulk and is necessary to prevent colon cancer.

13. Remember, do not become obsessed with over-eating, think instead you are under-exercising. So exercise, exercise, and exercise.]]>

Physical therapy does improve the quality of life by decreasing pain, spasm, and breaking scars and adhesions. It addresses the physical, psychological, emotional, and social well being. A licensed therapist usually undergoes very assertive and aggressive schooling and meets several criteria to obtain a license to practice in a particular state. These therapists usually take the full history and physical and examine the patient to have a baseline level of function and see what the patient can and cannot do. Based on that, they decide what regimen and course of therapy sessions needs to be done. The therapist may need special diagnostics to arrive to a particular clinical conclusion. The physician usually asks the therapist to address issue in question.

Physical therapy has many sub-specialties including cardiac, pulmonary, geriatrics, neurological, orthopedic and pediatrics. Occasionally, the therapist functions in unorthodox locations such as a nursing home or a hospice, to get the job done. In most cases, the therapist practice out of a facility that is private or public, a hospital or a facility.

The role of therapy is essential, related or non-related to surgery. There are studies that point to the superior role of supervised professional physical therapy over the role of back surgeries. In other words, back surgery may not bee needed if you follow the recommendations of the therapist. The therapist is not to be with the patient all the time, therefore, it is advised that patients continue with the same recommended therapy movement and range of motions at their homes. In addition, insurance companies will not allow undetermined time length for therapy. They will pay for certain maximum number of sessions only.

The therapist may opt to do joint manipulation. It is a type of passive motion of skeletal joint. It is usually aims at improvement in the function of a synovial joint.

The role of occupational therapy is also important. It is a profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation. It enables individuals, groups and communities to participate in activities which are meaningful to them, reflect their beliefs and values, and produce a sense of accomplishment or satisfaction (This paragraph is from Wikipedia).]]>

Treatment involves manual therapy, manipulation and adjustment of the spine, joints, and myofascial releases of the soft tissues. Chiropractic care is an integral part of the medical field and its roles assumes more and more popularity.

It is estimated that over 50% of the population consult chiropractors for spinal issues. Chiropractors work in synch with other professionals to relieve pain. They are allowed to order diagnostic tests and imaging, explain to the patient the findings, perform thorough physical examination and plan a management regimen for treatment. They are not allowed to prescribe medications. Their duties usually vary from state to state.

Chiropractic care has several interfaces with other disciplines. It overlaps with manual therapy professions, including osteopathic manipulations, massage therapy, and physical therapy. Occasionally, chiropractors can dispense dietary supplements that benefit the overall wellbeing and the joints. When applied by a skillful and experienced chiropractor, spinal manipulation is overall safe.

Chiropractic care for low back pain: There is continuing conflict of opinion on the efficacy of Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) for nonspecific low back pain. A 2008 review found strong evidence that Spinal Manipulation (SM) is similar in effect to medical care with exercise. A 2007 review found good evidence that SM is moderately effective for low back pain lasting more than 4 weeks; a 2008 literature synthesis found good evidence supporting SM for low back pain regardless of duration. Of four systematic reviews published between 2000 and May 2005, only one recommended SM, and a 2004 Cochrane review found that SM or mobilization is no more or less effective than other standard interventions for back pain. Methods for formulating treatment guidelines for low back pain differ significantly between countries, casting some doubt on their reliability (Edited from Wikipedia)

Chiropractic care for whiplash and neck pain: There is no overall consensus on manual therapies for neck pain. A 2009 systematic review of controlled clinical trials found no evidence that chiropractic spinal manipulation is effective for whiplash injury. A 2008 review found evidence that educational videos, mobilization, and exercises appear more beneficial for whiplash than alternatives; that SM, mobilization, supervised exercise, low-level laser therapy and perhaps acupuncture are more effective for non-whiplash neck pain than alternatives but none of these treatments is clearly superior; and that there is no evidence that any intervention improves prognosis. A 2007 review found that SM and mobilization are effective for neck pain. Of three systematic reviews of SM published between 2000 and May 2005, one reached a positive conclusion, and a 2004 Cochrane review found that SM and mobilization are beneficial only when combined with exercise. A 2005 review found consistent evidence supporting mobilization for acute whiplash, and limited evidence supporting SM for whiplash (Edited from Wikipedia).]]> Chiropractic care deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including the neck, thorax, and the lumbar spine.

However, in some people especially those who have severe problem of pimples they will remain forever if nothing is done. There are some simple and effective remedies available for pimple scars some of which are discussed below.

Lemon juice is one of the most popular remedies for pimple scars. It is helpful for getting rid of pimples as well. Therefore, applying it will not only free the skin from pimple scars but it will also prevent growth of other pimples as well.

Lemon juice is very simple to apply as you can directly apply it by scrubbing a piece of lemon on the skin. There is no need to keep it on the skin for long. You can remove it after 10 other 15 minutes. However, you will have to do this for some days to get the effect.

The vitamin C
in lemons plays an important role in healing the scars. There are some other things as well which are used against the pimple scars. However most of them are sticky smelly and you have to keep them for a long time on your face. However, lemon juice is free from all these and even then, is one of the most effective options available.

* have stronger muscles and bones
* have a leaner body because exercise helps control body fat
* be less likely to become overweight
* decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes
* possibly lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels
* have a better outlook on life

Besides enjoying the health benefits of regular exercise, kids who are physically fit sleep better and are better able to handle physical and emotional challenges — from running to catch a bus to studying for a test.
The Three Elements of Fitness

If you've ever watched kids on a playground, you've seen the three elements of fitness in action when they:

1. run away from the kid who's "it" (endurance)
2. cross the monkey bars (strength)
3. bend down to tie their shoes (flexibility)

Parents should encourage their kids to do a variety of activities so that they can work on all three elements.

Those are common images of plastic surgery, but what about the 4-year-old boy who has his chin rebuilt after a dog bit him? Or the young woman who has the birthmark on her forehead lightened with a laser?

What Is Plastic Surgery?

Just because the name includes the word "plastic" doesn't mean patients who have this surgery end up with a face full of fake stuff. The name isn't taken from the synthetic substance but from the Greek word plastikos, which means to form or mold (and which gives the material plastic its name as well).

Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that can involve both a person's appearance and ability to function. Plastic surgeons strive to improve patients' appearance and self-image through both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.

* Reconstructive procedures correct defects on the face or body. These include physical birth defects like cleft lips and palates and ear deformities, traumatic injuries like those from dog bites or burns, or the aftermath of disease treatments like rebuilding a woman's breast after surgery for breast cancer.
* Cosmetic (also called aesthetic) procedures alter a part of the body that the person is not satisfied with. Common cosmetic procedures include making the breasts larger (augmentation mammoplasty) or smaller (reduction mammoplasty), reshaping the nose (rhinoplasty), and removing pockets of fat from specific spots on the body (liposuction). Some cosmetic procedures aren't even surgical in the way that most people think of surgery — that is, cutting and stitching. For example, the use of special lasers to remove unwanted hair and sanding skin to improve severe scarring are two such treatments.

* have stronger muscles and bones
* have a leaner body because exercise helps control body fat
* be less likely to become overweight
* decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes
* possibly lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels
* have a better outlook on life

Besides enjoying the health benefits of regular exercise, kids who are physically fit sleep better and are better able to handle physical and emotional challenges — from running to catch a bus to studying for a test.
The Three Elements of Fitness

If you've ever watched kids on a playground, you've seen the three elements of fitness in action when they:

1. run away from the kid who's "it" (endurance)
2. cross the monkey bars (strength)
3. bend down to tie their shoes (flexibility)

Parents should encourage their kids to do a variety of activities so that they can work on all three elements.

Endurance is developed when kids regularly engage in aerobic activity. During aerobic exercise, the heart beats faster and a person breathes harder. When done regularly and for continuous periods of time, aerobic activity strengthens the heart and improves the body's ability to deliver oxygen to all its cells.

The combined effects of nicotine, (the main drug in tobacco) and other gases which enter the lungs when smoked, greatly increases the chance of disease and ill-health. Tobacco is a stimulant drug giving smokers a 'lift'.

Smoking has been directly linked to lung cancer, heart disease and other major illnesses, as well being dangerous during pregnancy for the mother and unborn child.

It is also recognised that secondary smoking or passive smoking can put the health of others at risk. This is one of the reasons why smoking has been so widely banned in public places.
Smoking and young people

Although the number of adults who smoke has dropped over the past ten years, this has not happened amongst young people. In fact in some parts of the country the number of young smokers has actually increased especially amongst young women.

Statistics have shown that one quarter of Britain's 15 year olds (both boys and girls) are regular smokers. It is estimated that 450 children per day start smoking. Half of all teenagers who are currently smoking will die from diseases caused by tobacco if they continue to smoke throughout their lives and one half of this number will have their lives shortened by an average of 23 years.

Currently one in five 15 year old boys smoke cigarettes - this is a decrease of 5% since the mid 1980s. The numbers of teenage girls smoking has risen from 25% in the mid 1980s to 29% now - that's one in three.

It is estimated that over 50% of the population consult chiropractors for spinal issues. Chiropractors work in synch with other professionals to relieve pain. They are allowed to order diagnostic tests and imaging, explain to the patient the findings, perform thorough physical examination and plan a management regimen for treatment. They are not allowed to prescribe medications. Their duties usually vary from state to state.

Chiropractic care has several interfaces with other disciplines. It overlaps with manual therapy professions, including osteopathic manipulations, massage therapy, and physical therapy. Occasionally, chiropractors can dispense dietary supplements that benefit the overall wellbeing and the joints. When applied by a skillful and experienced chiropractor, spinal manipulation is overall safe.

Chiropractic care for low back pain: There is continuing conflict of opinion on the efficacy of Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) for nonspecific low back pain. A 2008 review found strong evidence that Spinal Manipulation (SM) is similar in effect to medical care with exercise. A 2007 review found good evidence that SM is moderately effective for low back pain lasting more than 4 weeks; a 2008 literature synthesis found good evidence supporting SM for low back pain regardless of duration. Of four systematic reviews published between 2000 and May 2005, only one recommended SM, and a 2004 Cochrane review found that SM or mobilization is no more or less effective than other standard interventions for back pain. Methods for formulating treatment guidelines for low back pain differ significantly between countries, casting some doubt on their reliability (Edited from Wikipedia)

Chiropractic care for whiplash and neck pain: There is no overall consensus on manual therapies for neck pain. A 2009 systematic review of controlled clinical trials found no evidence that chiropractic spinal manipulation is effective for whiplash injury. A 2008 review found evidence that educational videos, mobilization, and exercises appear more beneficial for whiplash than alternatives; that SM, mobilization, supervised exercise, low-level laser therapy and perhaps acupuncture are more effective for non-whiplash neck pain than alternatives but none of these treatments is clearly superior; and that there is no evidence that any intervention improves prognosis. A 2007 review found that SM and mobilization are effective for neck pain. Of three systematic reviews of SM published between 2000 and May 2005, one reached a positive conclusion, and a 2004 Cochrane review found that SM and mobilization are beneficial only when combined with exercise. A 2005 review found consistent evidence supporting mobilization for acute whiplash, and limited evidence supporting SM for whiplash (Edited from Wikipedia).]]>

- Carbohydrates intake: 60% of your diet
- Protein intake: 25% of your diet
- Fat intake 15% of your diet
- Cholesterol intake: 300 mg
- Sodium intake: 1000 to 3000 mg
- Fiber intake: 25-30 mg

2. As we grow older, our metabolism slows down gradually, our activity declines, and there is a tendency to eat more.

3. Serious and quick dieting may harm rather than help you. It may interfere with hormonal regulation, blood sugar regulation, and lead to unhealthy preoccupation with food, binge eating, and weight obsession.

4. The benefits of exercise are numerous. Some are enumerated as follows: it will make you lose weight, lower your blood lousy type of cholesterol, increase the healthy type of cholesterol, improve your blood sugar metabolism, reduce your risk of heart disease, lower you blood pressure and heart rate, improve your lean muscle mass, and improve your muscle tone, endurance, and range of motion.

5. One gram of protein or one gram of sugar, each provides 4 calories, whereas one gram of fat provides 9 calories.

6. Never starve yourself then binge eat. Try to spread your food intake throughout the day. Have multiple small frequent snacks in the midmornings and afternoons. Take any leftover food when you dine out for a later treat. Eat low-fat food whenever it is possible.

7. Eat lots of onions and garlic. These are very healthy nutrients that are good for your heart and blood pressure. They are also natural antibiotics and improve your immunity. Mild cooking of garlic for less than a minute may get rid of its smell yet preserves its benefits.

8. Try to avoid beer as it contains very high percentage of empty calories and sugar. Wine is not bad for the heart but grape and cranberry juices are the healthiest. 9- Try to add ginger on your cooking. It is also good for immunity and acts as a smooth muscle relaxant. Smooth muscle is located in your sphincters, gut, and vessels.

9. Try to use fresh vegetables rather than frozen ones. Some vitamins’ effects may change with that. The same applies on meat, juice, and fruits.

10. Fish is the best meat you can eat. It contains large amounts of polyunsaturated fats. These are the healthy type of fats that protect from heart disease. It is recommended you eat the skin of fish also as it contains too many fresh minerals.

11. It is also recommended to eat all vegetables and fruits with their skin, except for common sense ones like bananas and oranges. These will provide you with good quantity of fiber. Fiber forms stool bulk and is necessary to prevent colon cancer.

12. Remember, do not become obsessed with over-eating, think instead you are underexercising. So exercise, exercise, and exercise.]]>
