Before raiding your medicine cabinet, look in your kitchen for natural ways to remedy that dodgy stomach or skull-pounding headache. The following foods give instant relief - no prescription necessary.
PROBLEM: Stinky Breath
QUICK FIX: parsley
All out of sugar-free gum? No worries. That sprig of parsley on the side of the plate works just as well. Eating fresh parsley is rich in the plant pigment chlorophyll - a powerful breath freshener. Chew parsley after an onion-heavy kebab or a latte to cure malodorous breath.
PROBLEM: A Headache
QUICK FIX: a hard boiled egg
Eating protein can sometimes stop the pounding before it starts - or at least reduce its severity. It is important to eat protein, not carbs, because you don't want to raise your blood sugar too quickly. Carbs send your blood sugar soaring, then crashing, which can trigger headaches. Protein takes longer to digest, so it raises sugar levels slowly. Not an egg fan? Try nuts, reduced-fat tasty cheese, or a protein bar. Avoid aged cheeses, like camembert, which have been shown to cause headaches.
PROBLEM: A Hangover
QUICK FIX: fruit juice
Pick up some OJ before cocktail hour. Fruit juice contains the natural sugar fructose. This helps you burn off the alsochol and get it out of your body faster. After a night on the town, drink 250 to 300ml of fruit juice before hitting the sack, so you're not so unhappy in the morning.
PROBLEM: Motion Sickness
QUICK FIX: ginger
Don't let your overseas flight feel like an afternoon on a roller-coaster. Take 500mg of powdered or raw ginger 30 minutes before departure. Ginger reduces motion sickness because it stimulates receptors in the digestive tract that help release the soothing hormone serotonin.

Body and Soul What is An Aura
Your Thoughts and Feelings Emit Energy
Energy is everywhere - the typical human picks up a certain spectrum of energy and there are some whose sensitivity extends beyond that spectrum, either innately or by training. For some psychic, seeing auras is a natural part of their range of perception. Using their intuition to interpret it. Your aura is an egg-shaped energy field encompassing your physical body.
It has seven layers. The layers closest to the body relate to physical aspects like health, the mind and your emotions while the outer layers are to do with your spirit. There is much in the aura to read. Some psychics use the ever-changing array of colours projected by your health, thoughts, emotions, moods hopes, fears and more. Each colour has many shades and each shade has a different meaning, so it's not just a simple case of "red means passion".

How to See Auras
- Choose low, indirect light and a pale, plain wall behind you.
- Sit facing a mirror and let your gaze focus beyond your image.
- Eventually you will see a glow/haze - the aura!
- Try this with objects, animals and people.
- As everything - people, thoughts, spirit - is energy, you'll come to see how your own aura interacts with all of life.

Apples
The one a day "forbidden fruit" habit does more than keep the doctor away.
Apples are a great package, they're full of vitaminC, which we know is a powerful antioxidant, are a good source of dietary fibre and have a low GI, so provide lasting energy."
According to experts, eating apples as nature intended - skin and all - is best for boosting your intake of the vitamins and nutrients that they're renowned for. Like many vegetable, the skin is where a lot of the nutrients are concentrated. Infact, a study released last year by Cornell University in New York found that apple's peel contains at least a dozen compounds - called triterpenoids - that either inhibit or kill cancer cells.
Cancer
From cancer, Alzheimer's disease and asthma to heart disease, obesity and diabetes, the humble apple is an illness-fighting powerhouse. Several studies have linked apple consumption to a reduced risk of cancer - particularly lung cancer by as much as 50 per cent - making them one of the few foods specifically identified for this benefit. And Italian researchers found that people who eat a least one apple a day have a reduced incidence of several types of cancer including oral, breast, ovarian and prostate.

Tai Chi for Health
The term "tai chi" (shortened from "tai chi chuan") has been translated in various ways, such as "internal martial art" and "supreme ultimate fist." It is sometimes called "taiji" or "taijiquan."
Tai chi incorporates the Chinese concepts of yin and yang (opposing forces within the body) and qi (a vital energy or life force). Practicing tai chi is said to support a healthy balance of yin and yang, thereby aiding the flow of qi.
There are a number of DVDs available that you can use at home to practice. I found that practicing in the privacy of my home improved my performance in the structured classes that I attended.

Understanding the Differences Between Botox, Juvederm and Restylane
There are lots of anti-aging injectables on the market for the purpose of smoothing lines and wrinkles, adding volume and filling in scars. Because there are so many how do you know what is right for you? Some are good for mild to moderate issues while others are better for severe case. Still others are used primarily to plump and add volume to the face.
They are made of different ingredients and work in different ways, but the end result is still the same- a younger, refreshed looking face. Here's the low-down on the most popular products: BOTOX, Juvederm, Restylane:
BOTOX is an injectable like the other products, but it is not a facial filler. This product is derived from the botulinum toxin which is actually a neurotoxin. It works by inhibiting the muscle contractions in the brow and wherever it is injected. It freezes these muscles which cause wrinkles.
They are called dynamic wrinkles because they appear as a result of movement like facial expressions. Though it is a toxin, this product is safe to use provided a board certified and experienced plastic surgeon is administering the injections. Results typically last between 4 and 6 months.
Juvederm is hyaluronic acid filler with the consistency of a gel to treat moderate to severe lines and wrinkles by adding volume under the dermis. There are three different densities available depending on the severity of the wrinkles. Common treatment areas that respond well to this thick filler are those deep lines from the corners of the nose to the edges of the mouth.

How To Control Acne, Melasma, Rosacea, Freckles
In todays day and age, physical appearance plays an important role in our society. No one wants to suffer from acne problems, but it is unfortunately something that everyone goes through. Although it is more common in teenagers and people going through puberty, it can be an active problem for adults as well. In order to have acne control over your face, you have to take action now.
Cause
Acne occurs when oil ducts in the skin get plugged and then break burst, causing swelling and redness. There are a number of things that can contribute to poor skin and acne, but the three main factors that cause it are hormones, heredity and plugged oil ducts.
There is no hiding the fact that hormones play a factor in acne. All teenagers have dealt with skin care problems at least some point in their life. When you begin puberty there are certain hormones called androgens that increase for both male and females. It is these hormones that trigger oil ducts on the face, neck, back and chest to begin producing oil. As the oil builds up, acne begins to appear.
The second possible factor is heredity. Unfortunately, if your parents suffered from acne problems, the chance of you having skin problems increases. The best way to prevent this is to begin using some kind of skin product prior to puberty to eliminate oil ducts before they appear. We will discuss acne control products later in this article.

Treating Pimples with Coconut Oil and Other Natural Remedies
Living with pimples and acne can be very difficult, and even more difficult to find just the right treatment for you. The key to healthy, clear skin is to choose a skin care regimen that's right for you based on the type of acne condition you have. Because I'm a registered nurse and have come in contact with many acne patients, I've learned a lot over the years about acne, acne scars, and acne treatments.
For most people, acne goes away by age 30, but people in their forties and fifties still suffer from acne. People of all races and ages have acne. Acne will affect almost every person at some stage of their life. Most pimples are found on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders.
Scientists are trying to find the cause of acne and working on ways to prevent plugs. The cause of acne is unknown and there is still much to be learned. If you've heard that dirty skin causes acne, it doesn't - it's a myth.
Most commercial cleansers are harsh on the face and trying to find the right one for you could cost a fortune. Use only products that have natural ingredients or try to use fewer products to allow your skin to heal naturally. Try relaxation techniques to reduce stress, including meditation and yoga breathing exercises.
Coconut oil is very inexpensive; it's a good, cheap, natural home remedy. Some natural home remedies include dabbing on non-gel toothpaste or lemon juice to dry out zits. Acne and its treatment is one of the most misunderstood topics there is when it comes to acne skin care.

Acne Scar Treatment
Top 4 Acne Scar Treatment Options

An unwanted and often very visible reminder, this scarring can leave people seeking out options for treatment.

This might not be possible in all cases, but there are things people who have acne issues can do to help prevent them. These things include:
Treating the acne itself: The best way to avoid acne scar problems is to avoid acne. If cases reach the moderate to severe condition, it's not a bad idea to seek out remedies for the breakouts. Whether the road to fewer blemishes is an over-the-counter gel or cream or it's a prescription or herbal aid, treating the acne and helping prevent its return can be crucial. Finding what works to speed up healing and prevent new breakouts might take a little time, but the simple fact is if there isn't an acne breakout, there can't be acne scars.
Use caution when breakouts are present: It might not be entirely possible to avoid all scars, but if pimples aren't forcibly popped, poked or smashed, the chances for scarring can be reduced greatly. Treat active blemishes and pimples with extreme care so healing can begin.
Even when the most aggressive acne treatments are brought into play, it is still possible for some people to end up with acne scarring. No matter what is done, or isn't done, these scars can happen.

Strength Training Benefits for Women
Strength Training Benefits for Women
Most women desire to have a higher metabolism is order to further their weight control efforts. Strength training increases muscle mass and increasing muscle mass most definitely will increase an individual's basal metabolic rate. What this means for females is that they will have a harder time gaining fat as the percentage of lean muscle tissue in their body increases.
Obesity can be greatly reduced by sustained participation in a vigorous weight training combined with a sensible eating plan. Osteoporosis is common among women who do not exercise as they age, strength training is a proactive step women can take to prevent bone density loss. Scientific studies prove that weight bearing exercise increases bone density. Strength training done with moderate resistance also fights aging by strengthening ligaments and tendons. Weight training has also been shown to improve balance by increasing the power or core muscles; which in and of itself will prevent injuries due to falling or stumbling.

Clear Your Clutter and Clear Your Mind
Do you often find yourself not answering the door or hiding when a person drops by at your house unannounced because you are ashamed by all of the mess? Do you feel embarrassed to invite someone over your home because of the clutter that has accumulated and piled up so much? If you are like anyone I know, when you start to look all around at all the mess and clutter in your house, you feel exhausted and cannot find the needed energy to clean and clear it away. It just keeps on collecting dust and each time you stare at it, it makes you all the more tired and listless and you do not even know how or where to start. Well, believe it or not, but the most powerful and effective change you could bring about in your life is to eradicate and get rid of all the clutter surrounding you. Most individuals have really no idea how much their clutter truly affects them. It’s only when you begin to clean it out of your system, you would then realize how much better you can feel without the burdened eyesore brought about by the mess. The thing is that energy is everywhere around us, every thing is energy, even all your material possessions and acquisitions, though they are just seemingly inanimate objects, all have energy.
All our things and possessions are believed to hold our connections and memories in our life. In other words, if you have material things that you no longer use, need or want, they are tying and holding on to our energy, thereby creating and emitting inactivity in the energy of your atmosphere and surroundings. When disorder abounds all around you, it is becoming more and more impossible to think clearly about what you are doing in your life. However, you could think more with a clear mind and making important decisions become easier when you clear all the clutter away.
Most individuals who have disorder in them always feel tired. They say that they have no energy at all to start to clear it. Yet in fact, it is the stagnant energy that piles up and accumulate around the mess that actually causes lethargy. Finally clearing it frees and releases the energy at your house and gives off new and abundant mental and physical liveliness and aura in your body. If your thinking has a tendency to dwell in the past, you may get caught up in the ongoing problems and difficulties in your life. Having your space full of unnecessary clutter leaves no room for anything or something new to welcome into your life.
Clearing and getting rid of the clutter let you deal with those problems and move onwards. You have to let go of the past to make a new and better future. People treat you the same way you also treat yourself. And if you value and look after yourself, you would also be treated well by other people. At the same time, being surrounded by clutter could also affect the way other individuals treat you. And if you let clutter to stack up all around you, you might attract people whom you will be better off without.

Yoga For Health And Fitness
Is Yoga Right for You?
A lot of women perform yoga exercises not just to lose weight or maintain proper body weight but also because they want to be healthy emotionally and mentally. Yoga is also known to contribute to the decrease of a number of problems during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. There is research to prove this, but it’s easy to see the physical, mental, and emotional benefits evident on those women who practice yoga.
Yoga Helps You Cope with a Busy Lifestyle
If you are still undecided about yoga, then there are a number of things about it that will help you decide. One of these is its relevance to today’s world, even if it is one of the most ancient practices of all times.
Yoga is considered as the perfect solution that helps women cope with their busy days and the resulting mental and physical stress. This is especially true if they are working moms who need to deal with the pressures of both work and home. Sitting behind a desk or even driving a car for several hours every day would already result in a woman’s having shoulder and back problems that will not only affect their lives at the office but also at home when they are dealing with the family and household chores.
Choosing the Best Yoga Style Helps
Deciding if yoga is really right for you would also require you to choose the yoga style that will fit your lifestyle, personality, and needs. If you are a working mom, your yoga needs might differ from those women who are just working at the office for long hours every day. As such, it is very important to find the perfect teacher or trainer who has the right knowledge about yoga who is not only qualified and accredited but also compassionate and sensitive to what you really need.
Yoga Styles:
1)Vini Yoga. This is a personal practice that could be developed through the incorporation of meditation, proper breathing, and posture as well as prayer and rituals. The amount of all these aspects that could be incorporated into your yoga practice will have to be changed though as a woman and her needs change and develop. Therefore, if you are still a student or a young professional, then the physical aspects of yoga might be more important for you, while older women might focus more on the spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects.
2)Ashtanga Yoga. Also considered as the power yoga, this style is known to be flowing and athletic. Breathing is very important in this yoga style as a woman flows through a series of postures. This is able to generate a lot of sweat and body heat, thus helping women detoxify their bodies.
3)Ananda Yoga. This yoga style makes use of temperate poses. This is gently meditative and perfect for those who would like to practice a yoga style that helps them to look inwards so they can focus on making their emotions better.

Healthy Fruit Smoothies and Their Benefits
We are recommended to have our five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Adhering to this requirement means eating a bowl of salad and having fruit with every meal, a task which most of us find quite daunting. Smoothies provide a great way to make us eat healthy. All we have to do is mix together the servings of fruits and vegetables with some liquid, and drink it.
Because of the ingredients they contain, healthy fruit smoothies are full of vitamins and minerals which are essential for good health. There is no limit to the kind of fruit or fruit combination's that you can come up with; they can be simple or exotic. The choice largely depends on taste and nutritional needs. Using fresh or frozen ones does not matter much since they still have the same nutrients. People may vary in their tastes but some fruits are more commonly used than others. Three of the most popular are bananas, blueberries and strawberries.
Bananas are great when mixed with nuts or peanut butter. The result is a very creamy drink which is a favorite for many. To make this banana smoothie, you have to mix 2 medium bananas with raw nuts, vanilla stevia and 1 pear with a half cup of water into a blender and blend for 20 seconds. In less than a minute, a healthy beverage can be enjoyed. This drink is full of potassium, a mineral which has been to help in maintaining a healthy circulatory system and is used in the proper functioning of muscles. It also regulates the acid levels in the stomach and lowers the risk of developing stomach ulcers. The fiber content aids in digestion as well.
Blueberries are one of nature's most powerful antioxidants and their benefits are numerous. This fruit prevents urinary tract infections, prevents macular degeneration of the eyes, slows down aging, promotes brain function, prevents constipation, aids in digestion, prevents and cures cancer and boosts the immune system. This is due to the antibiotic properties of blueberries as well as the carotenoids and flavonoids contained in them, along with vitamins, zinc, phosphorus and selenium. If you want to achieve these benefits, try blending 1 banana and 1 cup of blueberries with vanilla stevia, lemon juice, a cup of water and ice cubes. You can then enjoy your glasses of blueberry-flavored healthy fruits smoothies.
Among the three top fruit ingredients, strawberries are perhaps the most well-known. An easy-to-make smoothie recipe calls for 1 banana, 1cup strawberries, vanilla stevia, a teaspoon of lemon juice, a cup of water and ice cubes. Because strawberry is very versatile, other fruits can be added to this basic mixture. Strawberries are good for the heart. It lowers the level of bad cholesterol and raises the level of the good ones. It regulates blood pressure and keeps it normal. Aside from these properties, the fruit contains antioxidants that combat cell damage. What's more, it is very low in calories and has no cholesterol and sodium.

Low Iodine Cookbook for Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer patients with papillary or follicular thyroid cancer often receive a dose of radioactive iodine (RAI) about two months after their surgery in an attempt to destroy (ablate) any remaining thyroid cells in their bodies. Most thyroid cancer patients also undergo whole-body radioiodine scans at periodic intervals, using a “tracer” dose of RAI. If their scan is not “clean”, they then receive treatment with a larger dose of RAI in an attempt to destroy any remaining thyroid cells in their bodies. In preparation for an RAI scan or an RAI treatment, patients are usually asked to go on a low-iodine diet.

Foods That Prevent Cancer And Act Like Medicine
Eating well could soon take on an entirely new meaning. Research shows that certain foods may help prevent disease. Scientists have zeroed in on dozens of foods you should dig in to more regularly because they may help prevent cancer, heart disease and more. The secret may lie in the hundreds of chemicals hidden in everyday foods.
For example, many fruits and vegetables contain anti-oxidants, including beta carotene and vitamins C and E. These substances have the ability to inhibit free radicals, harmful molecules that circulate in the body and damage healthy tissue. Potentially dramatic health benefits can also be derived from other chemicals in the food and fibre. Vitamin supplements do not offer the same benefits because pills don't contain the same unique and potent chemicals that are naturally present in foods. So - eat up!

Aromatherapy Benefits Essential Oil Description and Uses
AROMATHERAPY is a natural therapy that uses essential oils extracted from the bark, leaves, blossoms and roots of plants, herbs and flowers. Although the term was first coined by French Chemist Renee Maurice Gattefosse in 1928, for thousands of years humankind has successfully delved into nature's pantry exploring the soothing, balancing and beautifying properties of these wondrous essenses.
How to use essential oils
Although they are natural, essential oils are volatile substances and can also be very potent. Therefore, you should always use them sparingly by the drop, and always with care.
Vapourisation
By using an oil burner (vapouriser) at home and at work you can benefit from essential oils 24 hours a day. Simply fill the dispenser bowl with hotwater, add 5-10 drops of your favourite oil, light the burner candle, and let the magnificient aroma envelop you.
Massage
An aromatherapy massage promotes circulation and can relax or stimulate according to your mood and the oils used. To make your own massage blend, add 5 drops of essential oil to 10 mls of a cold pressed organic oil such as jojoba oil.
Bathing
Bathing is the most invigorating way you can use essential oils, as it helps unblock congested pores and ease muscle tension and fatigue. Bathing with essential oils relaxes tired bodies, quietens the mind and calms the spirit. Add 10 drops of oil to a full bath. To tantalise the senses combine two or three oils.

Expectant mums should up their intake of low GI foods as their belly grows to help ward off gestational diabetes -a disease that rose by 124 percent among Aussie women between 2004 and 2008. Professor of Human Nutrition at the University of Sydney, Jenny Brand-Miller, and dietian Jimmy Louie have embarked on their first clinical trial t prove a link between a low GI diet and gestational diabetes which occurs when heavily pregnant women are unable to use glucose efficiently and need more insulin to counteract rising sugar levels.
