Many drugs are priced the same regardless of the dose because drug manufacturers don’t want cost to be a determining factor when doctor’s are deciding how much of a drug to prescribe. Therefore, a patient can order the larger pill that contains double the dose, cut the pill in half and save up to 50%.

The Benefits of Green Tea

Filed under: antioxidants,cancer cells,Cancer prevention,diet,free radicals,green tea,stress,teeth,Uncategorized,weightloss — Amanda @ 12:53 pm

Green Tea has been dubbed for decades as the healthiest of all teas. The Chinese have always known that there was something special about this herbal drink since ancient times and has been used as a medicine in China for over 4,000 years.

But what exactly is so special about Green tea? It’s health benefits extend beyond that of a normal heated beverage ranging from acting as a cure for headaches, to a cancer preventing agent.

Illness Prevention

The most prominent benefit that green tea offers is its effects. Antioxidants reduce the effects of free radicals (molecules that can age and destroy premature cells). Free radicals have the ability to cause illness and disease, so it is important to fight them with antioxidants. Vitamins C and E are also act as defences against free radicals.

Weight Loss

In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the findings of a study by the University of Geneva in Switzerland which proved that green tea can also help those who are dieting. It was discovered that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea burned more calories than those who were given only caffeine.

Stress

Green tea has lower caffeine levels than tea like black tea, and is a great comforter during times of stress. Settle down with a hot cup of Green tea and become relaxed and stress-free.

Healthy Teeth

Green Tea has even become recognized as an agent that prevents tooth decay. Green tea has the ability to kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque.

Not only does green tea have many wonderful health and medicinal benefits, but it also tastes delicious. Try incorporating green tea into your diet more frequently and reap the rewards!

iPhone Promoting Health And Fitness?

Filed under: apple,fitness,health products,iPhone,iPhone applications,iPhone apps,Uncategorized — John @ 11:03 am

The latest trend to hit the United States has been the amazingly popular iPhone. The iPhone has been extremely successful probably due to a few factors that include: it’s shiny, it’s new, your neighbor has one so you want one too, or you love spending way too much money on something you may not need. Either way Apple has a killer marketing team. However, the one upside about the iPhone is the fact that health and fitness applications (apps) have been very popular and are downloaded quite frequently.

Among the top downloaded health and fitness apps are calorie trackers, and aids for working out, even a pedometer. I personally think these applications are a brilliant idea, from both the making money stand point and the “Hey, lets try and help some of our customers” stand point. Why? Well, I’m glad you asked.

From the business part, creating apps that focus on health and fitness is an amazingly brilliant idea. Most of the nation, even the world is so worried about being fit or at least attempting to get fit. This drive to get in shape will continue to drive the Apple revenue up. However, because a lot of Apple products aren’t designed to get one’s body moving and exercising, maybe someone decided to put in an app that helps both the company and the customer. Even though I believe it is more to do with the cash flow, health and fitness applications are the best apps that have been developed for the iPhone to date. Well, that’s just my “humble” opinion at least.

Top 10 Paid Health & Fitness Apps

2.Tap & Track -Calorie, Weight & Exercise Tracker

Top 3 Foods That Lower Blood Pressure

Filed under: aneurysm,banana,blood pressure,chocolate,dark chocolate,heart attack,high blood pressure,Spinach,stroke,Uncategorized — John @ 10:59 am

These days everyone is looking for ways to stay as healthy as possible. However, high blood pressure is often overlooked until it becomes a significant problem. When a person has high blood pressure for too long it can lead to heart attacks, strokes and aneurysms. Though it is best to take steps to prevent high blood pressure in the first place, there are certain foods that you can eat to reduce your blood pressure if you think it may be getting to high.

Spinach- It seems on almost all “top foods to eat for ______” lists include spinach. They have good reason too! Spinach does wonderful things for the body. Spinach contains magnesium which protects the heart from disease and is known to lower blood pressure. Additionally, spinach will help protect against things like strokes and heart attacks.

Bananas- Bananas offer a quick boost of energy and a lot more. Along with being rich in potassium and a high fiber content, which help prevent cardiovascular disease, a banana a day is said to fight high blood pressure.

Dark Chocolate- That’s right, chocolate! The flavonoids found in dark chocolate are known to lower blood pressure by stimulating nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide tells the muscle around blood vessels to relax, promoting an increase in blood flow and a decrease in blood pressure. Also dark chocolate is know to reduce the levels of bad cholesterol, and even just a small amount of chocolate is needed for the health benefits.

6 Foods that Improve Your Sex Drive

Filed under: blood vessels,caffeine,depressant,energy,libido,muscle reserve,sex,sex drive,Uncategorized — Amanda @ 11:30 am

1. Dark Chocolate

Eating Dark Chocolate is a great way to help your body release feel-good hormones which are released during sex and physical activity. Cocoa itself is a stimulant which makes the skin more sensitive to touch.

Be careful – researchers found that cocoa stimulates the same brain centers as cocaine, but having too much will reverse the effects. Stay away from white chocolate and eat small amounts of dark chocolate which is packed with more cocoa.

2. Steak

The protein in Sirloin steak will boost the body’s energy levels and heighten the body’s sensitivity levels giving you a more effective alternative to caffeine and sugar – which lower the testosterone levels in the body.

3. Chilli Peppers

Caliente Chilli Peppers will cause the heart to speed up and the skin to flush with blood. Chilli peppers help the flow of blood throughout the body raising your excitement levels.

4. Blueberries

Blueberries are a natural version of Viagra. They also help remove excess cholesterol from the blood reducing the cholesterol levels being absorbed into the arteries – a great way to keep the circulatory system healthy and flowing smoothly.

5. Vanilla Ice Cream

Half a cup of vanilla ice cream has the ability to increase your muscles ability to reserve energy which will boost your libido. The muscles in the sexual response system rely on calcium to fully operate. The calcium in the milk will help you feel fully charged.

6. A Glass of Wine

It’s true that a glass of wine will help you relax at the end of the day. Alcohol acts as a depressant in the brain which will lower your inhibition to restrain arousal and one glass of wine will cause the blood vessels to relax. Any more than two glasses of wine will reverse the effects.

4 Easy Tips to Help you Sleep Better

Filed under: energy,exercise,insomnia,sleep,sleep deprivation,stress,Uncategorized — Amanda @ 1:49 pm

Get into a routine – The best way to have a more fulfilling sleep is to set a regular sleep schedule for yourself. Avoid fighting against your biological clock by figuring out how many hours of sleep your body needs and then sticking to a schedule… even on weekends. Try to go to bed before midnight. Studies indicated that the hours you sleep before midnight are twice as important as the hours you sleep after midnight.

Avoid caffeine – Caffeinated drinks, coffee, and tea, will keep your mind running longer than you think. Stay away from caffeinated drinks in the evening and before bed.

Don’t eat before bed – a light snack may be good before going to bed, but don’t have full meals. Digestion takes a lot of energy and will keep you stimulated. If you are hungry before bed, try having a snack with a lot of carbohydrates that will trigger the serotonin hormone in the body making you feel sleepy.

Exercise – Exercise is great for sleep and stress. People who exercise regularly are less likely to develop insomnia than those who don’t. If you work out for as little as 20 minutes a day, you will feel more relaxed and stimulated. Try to exercise early in the day so you naturally become tired by the evening. Exercise induces the body to release melatonin which is a feel-good hormone that will make you feel more relaxed and content.

Side Note: Just as a kind of side not, I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll just remind you that if you really want your skin to look and feel good avoid junk/fast food at all cost. Avoid McDonalds like the plague; the amounts of grease and fat are not good for your skin or the rest of your body for that matter.

Vitamin A is an antioxidant the helps your skin repair, and even stay moist. Also, it produces the enzymes that stabilise the production of collagen, and is often added to skin creams under the name stabilised retinol.
Mangoes - Mangoes are also full of vitamin A. They will help keep skin nice and healthy and repair cells making sure your skin doesn’t look flaky.
Almonds - Almonds are full of another vitamin, vitamin E. Vitamin E helps moisturize your skin and aids in the protection from damage and premature aging.
Green Tea – Green tea has been proven to due amazing things for the body. Because green tea contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents it will help repair and protect your skin. Additionally, green tea has shown that it aids in the prevention of many cancers. It does this by fighting off free radicals which also cause premature aging of the skin.
Water – Water should be a no brainer, but many people forget to drink enough of it. Receiving adequate hydration is important for maintaining healthy skin.

The Dangers of Everyday Products

Filed under: cosmetics,dangerous chemicals,makeup,toxins,Uncategorized — Amanda @ 1:13 pm

Although we use multiple products every day – including hair products, skin products, and cosmetic products, most of us are unaware of the dangers we face by exposing ourselves to the chemicals and toxins within them.

Deodorant – Deodorant is very acidic therefore it weakens the skin making it vulnerable to penetration. Most deodorants can contain ammonia, formaldehyde and phenol, which have been linked to cause cancer.

Shampoo and conditioner – can contain several mutagen inducing chemicals which are supposedly cancer causing.

Hairspray – has a toxin known as polyvinylpyrrolidine. During studies, researchers found that test rats developed tumours after being exposed to large amounts of this chemical.

Toothpaste – can contain carcinogens (radioactive chemicals which are linked to causing cancer) as well as resorcinol which may cause blood disorders and convulsions.

Mouthwash – can contain ethanol which may be linked to esophageal cancer

Makeup (Mascara, blush, eye shadow, eyeliner) – can contain carcinogens and dangerous toxins like Parabens and Benzoyl Peroxide

It’s not to say that by using these products you will develop cancer, high blood pressure or other severe ailments, however by avoiding these harsh substances you will be taking better care of your body, and better care of the environment. Before buying beauty products, consider checking the ingredient labels for any chemicals which may be harmful to you such as…

Benzoyl Peroxide, diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, triethanolamine, dioxin, imidazolidinyl urea, synthetic colors and pigments, parabens (methyl, butyl, ethyl, propyl), propylene glycol, and butylenes glycol.

Try to buy “green” or Natural products as alternatives to ones which may be harmful to you or to the environment.

We’re Not Built To Last

Filed under: age,aging,anti-aging,elderly,older,skin,skin care,Uncategorized — John @ 1:27 pm

For some reason the idea of prolonging life has been fascinating to humans since very early on in our history. Ancient Chinese herbalists attempted to extend their lives and were even rumored to have lived for hundreds of years. Yet, even now we see many of these different ways to “avoid” growing old. Some people simply see aging as an appearance obstacle and purchase all these wrinkle creams in hopes that they can look youthful forever. Others try some of the most ludicrous things in attempts to prolong their lives for as long as possible.

My opinion on the matter of extending life is perhaps best told in the words of another. Sara Myers from the Silverplanet blog wrote, “I understand wanting to live a healthier, happier, more meaningful life, but living to 125 or 150, just for the sake of living long, doesn’t make sense to me.”

The one thing I have always wondered is why? Why does someone want to live for 150 years, or 200 years, or forever. Living forever really isn’t as appealing once you really think it through. Just because you can live that long doesn’t mean you won’t stop aging. Prolonging your life just means your body has more time to degrade and slowly die.

However, living forever without aging is much worse. Why? Well, could you imagine what your life would be like. You will have to watch everyone you love, have loved, or will love die as you continue to go on forever, unchanged by time. If you are religious and believe in some sort of heaven, paradise, or rebirth, you will quickly realize that none of that is achievable. You will see wars lost and won, creation and destruction, possibly the end of the human race. You won’t ever really be able to make a significant connection with anyone else because for you they will come and go and be forgotten. I don’t really think it is worth it.

Why can’t we just try to live however long we have to its fullest instead of just trying to live long just so we can say we have? Maybe we’re scared of the unknown or unsure of where we’ll go. Either way I’m going to take my chances and accept the fact that we’re not built to last.

4 Reasons Why Sleep Is Important

Filed under: adults,anxiety,behavior problems,children,death,depression,hallucinations,immune system,insomnia,mood problems,sleep,sleep deprivation,teenagers,Uncategorized,united states,US — John @ 12:52 pm

1.Recharges Energy – Sleep is a very necessary part of life that all humans need. When we sleep our bodies have a chance to “recharge.” Adequate sleep is needed in order to maintain the energy levels we need for daily activities. On average, adults need eight-nine hours of sleep, children need ten-twelve hours of sleep, and teenagers require about ten hours of sleep.

2.Boosts Immune System – Our body uses sleep to repair itself and build things like bone, muscle, and tissues. Although the body does this throughout the day when we are awake, during sleep the body does not need to divide its attention and instead is able to focus its entire attention on one task.

3.Sleep Deprivation Can Cause Mental Problems – Adequate sleep has shown increases in performance and concentration, but when the body does not receive the appropriate amount of sleep the outcomes can be extremely damaging. The body uses sleep as a time to unwind and cope with the stress we built up during the day. By depriving the body of sleep we allow ourselves to become prone to developing insomnia, depression, anxiety and many other illnesses. Additionally, when adequate sleep is not achieved proper hormone balance is not acquired, resulting in things like memory lapses, hallucinations, and mood and behavior problems.

4.Lack of Sleep Can Kill – Along with severe mental problems, sleep deprivation can turn deadly very quickly. According to the National Highway Safety Administration (NHSA), falling asleep while behind the wheel is responsible for at least 100,000 crashes, 71,000 injuries, and 1,550 deaths each year in the United States alone. Additionally, young people in their teens and twenties, who are particularly susceptible to the effects of chronic sleep loss are involved in greater than 1/2 of the “fall-asleep” crashes on American highways.
