YOUR HEALTH IS MY CONCERN!
You probably agree with me that the chances of living a life with no major health problem are somewhat slim. Every year, many persons went to the hospital, some recovered, others died. Most of their sickness are man-made because they disregarded the physical law of being healthy.
Statistics shows that the mortality rate from modern degenerative disease were increasing every year. But it does not end there. Sign of physical degeneration has been found in the group of 20's. Old age is far from being the only prerequisite for degenerative disease because it will strike to those careless people of putting their health at risk.
Once we reach middle age, our life expectancy will be shorten. Lifestyle, exercise and dietary habits were the key parameters in the health equation. The person's health depend on how he lives and the way he eat. It has to do with his state of health.
Whether we like it or not, there are roles to be played and followed if we want to have human vigor, resistance to disease and longevity. If this rules is violated, nature will take its revenge in the form of disease. But when it is obeyed, man's life can be full and remarkably free from physical impairment.
The dietary habits of many of us are one of the supreme ironies of modern history. Our processed food is laden with dyes, preservatives, thickeners, etc. We consumed too much sugar. Sugar was the prime additive in vending machine, hamburger stands, ice cream parlors and many others. We cannot live without sugar in our everyday need.
The obvious way to avoid such nutritional pitfalls is to avoid over consumption of processed refined foods if possible. Proper cooking method can help. Balance is another important factors in food intake. Over-reliance of one basic food type can lead to future health problems. Unusual diet and over-use of food supplement should also be avoided. Vitamin C supplement may be helpful, but if taken mega-dose will lead to various digestive complication if wrongly administered.
Obviously, every individual has to seek out his own optimum level of food intake. One key in any diet plan is to avoid a radical departure from your present eating habits. Before making any changes, be sure to have a thorough knowledge of your problem and sought advices from nutritional and medical expert as necessary.
In a develop nation, muscle power was replaced by machine power. We measure the quality of life on how easy our work is, how abundant our time and how many labor saving gadget we have at our disposal. Our muscle weakens for lack of use. Bodies bulge with fat because of excess calories.
Health and longevity don't depend exclusively on rippling muscles and slender contours. Physical fitness is determined by the condition of the heart, the size and elasticity of the arteries that feed blood to the heart, and the elasticity of the lungs. No part of the body can survive without the services of the heart and bloodstream.
Review your health condition. If you find that you are not on the list of physically active, then change it and make necessary correction.

WHY DRUGS IS NOT GOOD FOR US
Witnessing the situation of our society today, we can conclude that harmful drugs became the headline news. In every corners of the globe, this drugs is impossible to control. Most of the users were delinquent teenagers hooked to the use of this prohibited drugs. In continuing this habit may cause dangers to mind and body.
Drugs injured the mind by paralyzing the brain cells where the power of reasoning was located. The degree of the damage was heavy curtailing the ability of the mind to think straight losing its proper coordination. It is fatal to those with heart disease. It increases the pulse rate demoralizing the regular heart beat pattern by altering its good performance.
There are uncontrollable behavior of laughter and threat. This behavior is very dangerous when the mind was disconnected and disrupted. He was in a period of dreamy state with eyes opened, looking somewhere without direction and completely lost in the world of the living. There were tremors in his hand and the body failed to hold anything and losing his strength. His focus was limited with sensitiveness to light.
He cannot walk straight. His body coordination was affected as if he was in a hang-over episode. His eyes became red and sleepy. He talked without direction losing the grip to reality. Dryness to the mouth was visible, nausea and vomiting were common.
No more care was given to his body. Long hair with dirty clothes. He did not mind at all. It was his world, the world of the living dead.
The reason of taking drugs was already deeply rooted in his heart and mind, as if he no longer exist. But it is not the way to justify his action. If this is a sign of protest, this is not the way the human mind work reasonably. He cannot change the world, but he can change his own life if he is willing to lead to the right direction.
We just hope that those delinquent persons may realize that what they did is not a healthful way of living instead a destruction to the inner fabric of their personality.

HOW SAFE IS YOUR HOME
There are many houses located in urban areas with few glass windows. Their windows were tightly closed most of the time to avoid dust to enter inside the house. A heavy curtains were placed to every window to shield it from sunlight. The ventilation was limited inside. They relied to the use of air conditioner. The outside main door were being screened shield. Penetration of fresh air was controlled by the shield.
Although they have houseplants to neutralize the bad odor by enriching the air with oxygen and to absorb carbon dioxide, but it is not enough. How safe is the air we breath inside our house in a tightly sealed condition? Not safe enough because of the presence of toxic pollutants caused by poor ventilation. Smoking is the most dangerous pollutants. Among others are chemical fumes from carpet, upholstery even the cleaning products has toxic pollutants also. In addition were gas ranges, dust, molds, pesticides residue for mosquitoes and other crawling and flying insects that entered inside from half-opened windows and main door. There are some solution to this problem:
-To open up the windows so that fresh air can enter to the house once a day to let stale air and toxic fumes out of the house. It increases the oxygen and decrease the accumulated carbon dioxide when window were opened. Sleep with an open but grilled windows.
-Stop smoking inside the house. If you do, go out from the house and find a place where you can do your smoking hour.
-If you have some empty oil can or kerosene or kerosene containers, placed it away from the house.
-Burning stoves and appliances should be placed near the grilled windows so that any pollutant residue left can go out in the house.
-Schedule cleaning of your air conditioner to remove particles trapped inside it. Clean the filter and air ducts that is very important for long life of the unit.
-Use air freshener to keep inside of the house fresh with sweet-smelling scent.
-It is highly recommended to install exhaust fan. This will be the ready outlet for any stale air and other pollutants.
-Put houseplants in the receiving room, kitchen, individual rooms to absorb carbon dioxide.
-During rainy season, control the use of air conditioner so that any humid air from outside on a smoggy days can not penetrate easily that will result to the presence of molds in wet areas.

In an incident of fire in your surrounding even if it was quite a distance from your house, seeing the fire started eating the house of your neighbors, you suddenly developed fear. With black smoke at first, then later on the fire was now visible in your eyes. Your reflex reaction told you to act immediately. Your mind quickly respond to the call to secure whatever precious things you have in your house thinking that the fire will become bigger and may expand to other houses nearest your own. Even if the object has a weight more than your own but you lifted it easily without any help. Your adrenalin puts your muscles and feet strong and fast going and returning back again and again until the most important items were move in a distance away from your house. And when the fear subsided, you lose your energy, feel exhausted and tired, wondering why you able to lift a heavier object quickly. The reason is because of the phobia, the fear of the fire.
