Sexy Legs

How To Have Beautiful Legs:

 

 

Many women think that their legs are too fat or too thin.

Unfortunately, the actual shape of your legs cannot be easily changed. However, with exercise you can improve muscle tone and make them look better.

* If your legs are too fat, lose fat by going on a sensible diet and exercise. Start a regular sport activity or go to the gym.

* Sometimes, legs may not be fat, but look heavy, because of bad circulation. Put your legs and feet up.

* If your legs are too thin, improve them with exercise. The legs can look much more attractive with better muscle tone.

Walking and bicycling are wonderful exercises for shapely legs. At the office, walk up the stairs, instead of taking the elevator!

* Avoid standing for prolonged periods of time to reduce the appearance of varicose veins.

* Smooth legs look more appealing than fuzzy legs. Creams can be used as hair removers, and there are quite a number of shaving tools present in the market. But the best natural depilatory is a turmeric paste, apply it before a bath, and leave it on to dry.

* After a bath, make your skin feel good by moisturising it.

* Avoid excessive sun exposure

* Avoid baths that are too hot

* Elevate or raise your legs when sleeping

* Always finish your shower with a cold water jet on your legs

* Drink a lot

Depression Prevention Tips

Depression explained

 

Depression is a common experience. We have all felt 'depressed' about a friend's cold shoulder, misunderstandings in our marriage, tussles with teenage children - sometimes we feel 'down' for no reason at all.

However, depression can become an illness when:

*

The mood state is severe;
*

It lasts for 2 weeks or more; and
*

It interferes with our ability to function at home or at work.

Signs of a depressed mood include:

*

Lowered self-esteem (or self-worth)
*

Change in sleep patterns, that is, insomnia or broken sleep
*

Changes in appetite or weight
*

Less ability to control emotions such as pessimism, anger, guilt, irritability and anxiety
*

Varying emotions throughout the day, for example, feeling worse in the morning and better as the day progresses
*

Reduced capacity to experience pleasure: you can't enjoy what's happening now, nor look forward to anything with pleasure. Hobbies and interests drop off.
*

Reduced pain tolerance: you are less able to tolerate aches and pains and may have a host of new ailments
*

Changed sex drive: absent or reduced
*

Poor concentration and memory: some people are so impaired that they think that they are going demented
*

Reduced motivation: it doesn't seem worth the effort to do anything, things seem meaningless
*

Lowered energy levels.

If you have such feelings and they persist for most of every day for two weeks or longer, and interfere with your ability to manage at home and at work, then you might benefit from getting an assessment by a skilled professional.

Having one or other of these features, by themselves, is unlikely to indicate depression, however there could be other causes which may warrant medical assessment.

If you are feeling suicidal it is very important to seek immediate help, preferably by a mental health practitioner.

Ear Infections Prevention Tips

Ear Infections

Few pains are more excruciating to a young child than an earache. After the common cold, an ear infection is the most frequent childhood illness and three out of four children will experience an ear infection by their third birthday.

The ear has three parts: the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear, Rice explains. The outer ear, which collects sound, includes the part outside the head and the ear canal. At the end of the ear canal is the eardrum, a small circle of tissue about the size of a fingertip. Behind the eardrum is the middle ear, which is normally filled with air. When the eardrum vibrates, tiny bones in the middle ear transmit the sound to the inner ear, where nerves relay sound signals to the brain.

Prevention

"You can avoid middle ear infections by keeping your child away from cigarette smoke and playmates who are sick," says Rice. Studies have shown that children who breathe tobacco smoke have a higher risk of developing health problems, including ear infections.

Treatment

"Ear infections, like other infections, are essentially treated with antibiotics," Antibiotic drops may be prescribed if pus is leaking from the ear. If a child has a bulging eardrum and is in severe pain, a surgical incision may be made to the eardrum to release the pus.

Stress Management Tip

For every one hour of work, take a five minute break and stretch, walk, or meditate. With just a few minutes of relaxation (or doing something other than work), you'll increase your physical activity as well as productivity and feel better throughout the day.

Yellow Fever Prevention Tips

Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease common in sub-Saharan Africa. Illness ranges in severity from an influenza-like syndrome to severe hepatitis and hemorrhagic fever. Although it is quite rare for travelers to get yellow fever most countries have regulations and requirements for yellow fever vaccination that must be met prior to entering the country.

How to Avoid It?

If you are traveling in an area where yellow fever is endemic (see map) you should get the vaccination and also avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes. Wear long sleeves and long pants, use an insect repellent containing DIET, sleep under a mosquito net at night and try and stay in rooms with air-conditioning or a fan. Burning a mosquito coil at night is also very effective at keeping the mosquitoes away.

Weight Training Tip

Set realistic training goals and track your workouts in a journal. If you bench-pressed 120 pounds on Dec 12 and 150 pounds on January 27, that's significant progress and you should be proud of yourself. When you can see where you have come from, you can really appreciate where you are now.

What Is Pilates

Pilates is a form of exercise, developed by Joseph Pilates, which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness in order to support efficient, graceful movement.

Core strength is the foundation of Pilates exercise. The core muscles are the deep, internal muscles of the abdomen and back. When the core muscles are strong and doing their job, as they are trained to do in Pilates, they work in tandem with the more superficial muscles of the trunk to support the spine and movement.

As you develop your core strength you develop stability throughout your entire torso. This is one of the ways Pilates helps people overcome back pain. As the trunk is properly stabilized, pressure on the back is relieved and the body is able to move freely and efficiently.

Six Pilates Principle

1. Centering: Physically bringing the focus to the center of the body, the powerhouse area between the lower ribs and pubic bone. Energetically, Pilates exercises are sourced from center.

2. Concentration: If one brings full attention to the exercise and does it with full commitment, maximum value will be obtained from each movement.

3. Control: Every Pilates exercise is done with complete muscular control. No body part is left to its own devices.

4. Precision: In Pilates, awareness is sustained throughout each movement. There is an appropriate placement, alignment relative to other body parts, and trajectory for each part of the body.

5. Breath: Joseph Pilates emphasized using a very full breath in his exercises. He advocated thinking of the lungs as a bellows -- using them strongly to pump the air fully in and out of the body. Most Pilates exercises coordinate with the breath, and using the breath properly is an integral part of Pilates exercise.

6. Flow: Pilates exercise is done in a flowing manner. Fluidity, grace, and ease are goals applied to all exercises. The energy of an exercise connects all body parts and flows through the body in an even way. Pilates equipment, like the reformer, are very good mirrors of one's flow and concentration as they tend to bang around and suddenly become quite "machine-like" if one loses ones control and flow.

Will Pilates Help Me Lose Weight?

Speaking from personal experience and observation over the course of many years, I can say with some certainty that anyone who commits to Pilates workouts will create a trimmer appearance, and most will lose significant weight.

Pilates is famous for creating long, lean, fit bodies. There are many ways that doing Pilates supports weight loss and a trimmer appearance:

* Exercise burns calories. How many calories you burn depends on your body type and your level of exertion.

* Creating lean muscle mass, as Pilates does, is one of the best ways to increase your calorie-burning potential.

* Pilates tones and shapes the body.

* One of the best ways to look and feel thinner is to have beautiful posture. Pilates creates a leaner look by emphasizing both length and good alignment.


* Pilates promotes deep and efficient respiration, which is essential for calorie burning and tissue regeneration.


* Engaging in an exercise program, like Pilates, promotes self-esteem and heightened lifestyle consciousness. Both are associated with weight loss.


Pilates is an enlivening workout that can help sustain energy levels throughout your day. However, it is not usually done as aerobic exercise. Therefore, some people enjoy combining Pilates with aerobic/cardio exercise in order to maximize their weight loss.


Some good choices for aerobic cross training with Pilates include:

* Swimming
* Walking
* Cycling
* Running/Jogging

a simpel understanding about the word Yoga,

What is Yoga ?

The word Yoga has its root in the Sanskrit word “yuj” which means to merge, join or unite. Yoga is the union of soul with the eternal truth, a state of unalloyed ( murni ) bliss ( kebahagian ), arising from conquest of dualities.

In Philosophical terms, the union of the individual self “jivatma” with the universal self “paramata” is Yoga. The result is a pure and perfect state of consciousness in which the “I” simply does no exist. Prior to this is the union of the body with the mind with the self. Yoga is thus a dynamic internal experiment which intergrates the body, the senses, the mind, and the intelligence, with the self.

Yoga is not simply an exercise in stretching. It is philosophy of life that teaches the individual how to achieve a calm mind, which in turn helps to channel energy through out the body.

It has a therapeutic effect. Acts as a relaxing bath, counterbalancing frantic lifestyles by quieting the mind.

Teaches to develop a greater awareness of both our physical and psychological states, which in turn increases our ability to cope with everyday stresses and situations, enabling us to step back and assess our reactions and coping mechanism .

Yoga is a complete science of humanness, dealing with all aspects of man from the physical to the psychological, intellectual and emotions. Practiced with dedication, yoga has the ability to draw our positive qualities and to lessen defects. With its knowledge of anatomy, physiology, consciousness, yoga is a science that is able to integrate the body, mind, breath, and awareness, understanding the genuine needs of each person and dealing with every aspect of health and well being from the peripheral to the core.

Basic FAQs about Iyengar Yoga ( Method ).

What is defined as Iyengar yoga ? What are the distinguishing qualities of Iyengar Yoga ? What would you say to someone who asks you to explain what is it ?

In Iyengar Yoga, asanas are thought based on a triad of :
• Precision.
• Timing.
• Sequencing.

Precision, timing and sequencing are not a rigid set of rule. Each of the three depends on various factors like age, time of the day, mental state. Scheduale, environtmental, condition, etc.

Precision

When an asana is done correctly, the body movements are smooth, there is lightness in the body and freedom in the mind “ When each cell exists in clarity, it is precision. Precision is an entry point to the deeper layers of the body.

Timing

Guruji emphasizes the aspects of maintaining an asana to built it up, develop and surface the effects and reaps its benefits.
As the endurance, power and the confidence grows the timing should be
increased

Timing is important from the point of view of creating and developing a circulation in the body which is pecullar to that asana.
Timing is not mere calculation of seconds and minutes one remain in an asana. It is a “time requisition” made by asana for its evolutions when one matures in sadhanan.
“When each cell is sensitive to being in the present, it is timing”

Sequencing

Sequencing is important for getting collective and cumulative benefits of asanas. In a sequence, one asana is not done after the other but a set of asanas follow a set of asanas.
There is no standard sequence.

Guruji’s module of sequencing can be compared to Indian classical music. There are basic known as “Vadi-Samvadi” and ascending-descending patterens known as “aroha-avaroha” .

Internal ambiance created by the earlier set of asanas should not be disturbed, but enhanced by the following set of asanas. At the end of the sequence, a state of quietude ( ketenangan, kesunyian, keheningan ) and equanimity ( ketenangan hati )is expected to be created.
“When each cell can flow harmoniously into the next moment, it is sequencing.”

Iyengar discovery of the intricacies ( liku2, kerumitan ) of each asanas took him beyond the body’s muscular and skeletal systems. He used his own body as a laboratory to discover the effects of each asanas on the internal and nervous system. From his studies, he systemized over 200 classical yoga asanas and 14 different types of pranayama with many variations. This detailed program enables the beginners to progress safely from basic to more advanced asanas as they gain flexibility and strength.

Salutation to Lord Patanjali who give us Yoga and our Guru-ji Sri B.K.S Iyengar, who teaches us His method of Iyengar Yoga.

Namaste.

Tips to prevent and treat Hypertension with Healthy Lifestyle

High blood pressure or hypertension is one of the most influential risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Not healthy lifestyle is the main triggering factors of this health disorder.

Most hypertension sufferers did not know he suffered from the problem before checking blood pressure. Disturbance is also known as heterogeneous group of diseases that can affect anyone from different age groups and socio-economic groups.

While blood pressure is measured by the pressure of the blood vessel wall (in mmHg). Number 120 / 80 mmHg is normal blood pressure that occurs when the heart pumps (systole) and resting (diastole).

"If the blood pressure exceeds normal levels, the risk of damage can occur in vital organs in the body such as heart, kidney, and brain," said cardiologist and hypertension from the National Heart Hospital Center, Harapan Kita, Prof. Dr. Dr. Budhi Setianto SpJP.(Hospitals in Indonesia)

High blood pressure will cause heart swelling, constriction of blood vessels, and coronary. Complications such combination could increase the number of deaths due to cardiovascular disease and heart failure. Therefore, early recognition of hypertension and handling can reduce mortality.

Globalization is already causing changes in lifestyle and diet. Food intake is often associated with diseases, including hypertension.

Hypertension is closely related to minerals ions in the body such as sodium, sodium, Chlor, phosphorus, and potassium. Therefore, hypertension associated with salt intake, especially salt. In normal adult salt intake is needed 2 grams / day, but still tailored to the activity undertaken.

The H5N1 flu is what is commonly meant when talking of "bird flu" or "avian influenza".

It is a viral disease that causes illness in many species including humans and is a pandemic threat.

Due to the high lethality and virulence of HPAI A(H5N1), its endemic presence, its increasingly large host reservoir, and its significant ongoing mutations, the H5N1 virus is the world's largest current pandemic threat, and billions of dollars are being spent researching H5N1 and preparing for a potential influenza pandemic.

At least 12 companies and 17 governments are developing pre-pandemic influenza vaccines in 28 different clinical trials that, if successful, could turn a deadly pandemic infection into a nondeadly one.

Full-scale production of a vaccine that could prevent any illness at all from the strain would require at least three months after the virus's emergence to begin, but it is hoped that vaccine production could increase until one billion doses were produced by one year after the initial identification of the virus..

Back when I was in Philippines every time my husband come to see me he always bring me a gifts and one of those gifts is Dream Angels Heavenly by Victoria Secret . I really love this perfume and body lotion. Great smell and it last longer. I bet you would like this perfume as long you like floral smell. It's pretty pricey though but you won't be disappointed.

Wearing perfume is nice because it will makes you feel young, pretty and good about your self. I'm sure you don't want to go outside stinking ha ha ha....It's always nice to be smell good and get compliments about my scents.

If the perfume that your using is not good then it can't be
helpful for you health. And also make sure that you don't have any allergy reactions due some oil and fragrance.

Mexican food is the best

You Are Mexican Food

Spicy yet dependable. You pull punches, but people still love you.

What Kind of Food Are You?

I like Mexican foods as long as it's hot and spicy and I love chips and salsa more than anything else haha...I also like the enchiladas, tacos and more... I used to hate This foods when i first got here but now Mexican foods is one my favorite. I just like the rich flavors in Mexican food I think it's a little less fattening. But watch out if you pregnant because eating high in fat is might be harmful to your body and the baby. Maybe that's why some people said that Mexican food is not good for pregnant women. I think there's only one thing we need to worry about Mexican food are the FATS and the cuisine and not really healthy. But still I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD and nothing can change that ha ha...

How can I get rid of my man-boobs?

I'm 18 years old, 6'2 and around 165 pounds. I've been playing sports all my life and have a lean build. I exercise daily and hit the gym occasionally.
Despite all my best efforts I have had enlarged nipples/man-boobs since 8th grade and they play a large part in my daily life and self-image.
I honestly think I would enjoy life 200% more if I didn't have this problem...

Losing weight questions?

My doctor said I need to lose weight, and I have been really healthy and exercising. I am 5'5" and I was 135 lbs but over the past week and a half I have been dieting and I now way around 128lbs. I do running, yoga, and strength exercises. My question is, what other things can I do to stay active? And I noticed the weight just being dropped in my stomach will my flabby arms eventually be tightened too with strength exercises? I'm going to try to get to 120 lbs or maybe 115 depending on how much I grow.

Healthy food list for type 1 diabetics?

My boyfriend has type 1 diabetes. We both could use a little toning, so we started working out 4 days ago. However, along with exercise comes a healthy diet. Since diabetics have to be careful of what they consume, what healthy foods should he be eating after a good workout and for every day meals?

Is being underweight ALWAYS unhealthy?

I have a younger friend who is 13, almost 14 years old. She's 4'11" and 75-80 pounds. Which makes her BMI between 15.1-16.2. A "healthy" BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. I just don't see how she could be considered unhealthy though. Yes, she is very skinny. But she doesn't look sickly at all! She takes dance classes 5 days a week, they do serious muscle building exercises. She has noticeable abs, calf muscles, and tiny biceps. Her whole family is skinny like this. She CAN NOT gain weight. After going to the doctor for a physical and being told she was underweight she ate chocolate ice cream and/or cookies every night before bed in an effort to gain weight. After months of not gaining a pound she stopped because she said it felt unhealthy to be eating that every night.

If she's living a healthy lifestyle (eating right and exercising), and is naturally this thin, does it STILL make her "unhealthy"?
