so happy: Only Tragic Girls Party Like it's 2007.


Growing older doesn’t mean you have to hit the early bird specials. However, with age comes the responsibility of being selective about your party destinations. For instance, when you pop bottles with a bunch of 21 year-olds, you make yourself look like a Real Housewife of the OC. A good rule of thumb is to make sure that you are never the oldest girl at the party.

Smoking Damages Gum Repair Procedures

By Jim Jawnson


The dangerous side effects of smoking, already an unhealthy, harmful habit, are well-known. What isn't well-known is how smoking can also damage the effectiveness of gum repairs and other dental surgical procedures long after the procedure is completed.

Another potential effect that smoking has on the overall health of the body has also been recently suggested. According to the findings of a study recently published in the Journal of Periodontology, smokers were more likely to have unfavorable results related to dental surgery than non-smokers.

The study followed the dental records of two groups of people, smokers and non-smokers, and studied the overall success of various dental procedures done to them. While smoking has always been known to have the ability to damage the gums, it was unexpected when the researchers realized that the surgical procedures done to the smoking group were in overall worse condition as opposed to the other group. Can you imagine how unproductive it would be to get your overbite fixed, only to have it damaged some time after? Horrendous.

It has been known for many years that healing after a surgical procedure is impaired by smoking, but what was unknown prior to this study was that smoking also had one more detrimental effect. Long-term smoking was capable of undoing any surgical repairs done to the gums, rendering anything done during the procedure unable to stay intact for a long-term period.

Even if you do not directly inhale smoke, you are still in the line of fire if you are near smoke. Second-hand smoke was also found to have a damaging effect on surgical procedures. swollen gums are no longer something to ignore if cigarette smoke is around you often. Studies are still being made to determine the extend of damage wrought by second-hand smoke on dental works. Tests conducted on rats showed that second-hand smoke was capable of undoing any repairs done via surgery to the gums, but it is still unknown just how much exposure was needed to do damage, or if the damage was lesser or greater than for actual smokers.

What Is Adult Scoliosis?

By Carlyn Kirsch


Adult scoliosis is a spinal abnormality that occurs during adulthood, or is a continuation of the disease that was undiagnosed or ignored during childhood or adolescence. This type of condition is generally idiopathic, which means that its cause is unknown. However, several other types of scoliosis also occur in adults. These include congenital curve, paralytic curve, and myopathic deformity.

A congenital curve exists at birth. If left undiagnosed or without treatment, it could possibly worsen in the adult years as a consequence of age and weakening of the vertebrae. At some point, this can cause adult scoliosis. A paralytic curve can be brought about by a damage to the spinal column, whereas myopathic deformity can be caused by diseases just like polio or cerebral palsy. Degeneration, osteoporosis, and spinal surgery are also factors that cause the illness. Indications of the condition comprise of one shoulder or hip higher than the other, a rib or back hump, and one arm longer as compared to the other one. Critical cases of scoliosis are usually coupled with pain considering that the abnormal curvature produces pressure on the backbone. This might even lead to trouble in walking.

The Adam's Forward Bending Test is designed to examine people believed to be struggling with scoliosis. Test outcomes are verified through X-ray, CT scan, or MRI. Treatment solutions involve medication, physical fitness, bracing, and surgical procedures.

Prescription drugs are advised by physicians to alleviate pain resulting from adult scoliosis. Doing exercises such as walking, biking, and going swimming, aid in keeping the body healthy and keep in proper alignment. These methods counter the deforming outcome of scoliosis. Exercising also helps to minimize soreness. Physical therapists can structure exercise plans to match the specific needs of affected individuals. Bracing in older individuals is applied to ease serious pain and soreness instead of avoiding the deterioration of the curve, whereas surgery is commonly used as a final measure. Surgery turns critical if the spinal curve is in excess of 50 degrees and is also coupled with frequent pains.

To summarize, scoliosis in adults could be mainly prevented through proper treatment of the condition in its first phases, during childhood or teenage years. The sooner the treatment begins, the less significant will be the discomfort and pain, as well as the likelihood of surgery. Living a healthy way of life can also suppress its likelihood in adulthood.

The Sale Of Enzymes By Enzymes Distributors Markets

By Marco Alva


The sale of enzymes is a large commercial business and are usually offered by enzyme distributors. This comprises the sale of enzyme products which are enzymes which comprise plant based enzymes. This contains the enzymes protease, lipase, cellulase lipase and amylase. This kind of enzyme supplements can be developed in a laboratory on plants just like barley or soy plants. Enzymes are defined as any complex chemical substance that is produced by cells that are living and is a biochemical catalyst. So in many cases a customer would search to online websites for these enzymes or enzyme supplements. Buying Enzyme Supplements Before somebody purchases enzyme products they have to know what exactly the body requirements are. For example one common enzyme deficiency is lactose intolerance. As a man or woman grows and develops many persons begin producing less of the enzyme lactase which is the enzyme that really digests lactose. Lactase capsules can aid or lactase drops could be bought in drop form to put on food. This is one example where enzyme marketers can market enzyme supplements available for sale. The entire body produces many enzymes but the enzyme business is a booming one most especially on this time of healthier eating and much more natural ingredients and supplements.

Enzymes The Body Doesn't Produce

One enzyme the body doesn't produce itself is cellalase which breaks down the fiber in foodstuff. However foods just like a fruit actually has enough enzymes within it to break down it's own fiber however, there is none leftover for the body to use to break down fiber in other foods. Also heat kills enzymes. Therefore some of the enzyme marketers will know they cannot keep enzymes where they could possible reach over 118 degrees Fahrenheit. This may not seem probable but when the supplier has their warehouse in an area like Palm Springs it is totally achievable for the AC to fail and the product reach far beyond this temperature.

Types Of Enzymes On The Commercial Market

Enzyme distributors have a broad arena of enzymes that are available for sale. For instance one kind of enzymes are metabolic enzymes. Metabolic enzymes speed up the chemical reaction within cells. They help grow new cells and maintain tissue. They help lower cholesterol, clean the colon and break down fats and make blood cells more lively. Suppliers have enzymes available for sale that help with the digestive systems if adequate digestive enzymes aren't produced. Different digestive enzymes released by the digestive tract break down the food into nutrients and waste. Digestive enzymes are produced by body organs just like the stomach. The human body has the ability to produce twenty two different enzymes.

Finding Online Enzymes

If you are searching for suppliers of enzymes for human use then you can do an online search for human enzyme companies. Then to make certain they store and handle the enzymes properly look for client testimonies from prior happy clients. If the website has a company blog look to see what has been posted recently. This is a simple process to do.

Early Onset Alzheimers Makes Life Too Short

By Kale Mabey


Live life to the fullest. That's why you don't take any day for granted. You will never know what day could be your last. A lot of actions in the past times of mankind shows that. Whether its ill health or a tragic event brought upon by our own mankind, you just never know. I can't even begin to think what it's like to be reduced of a love one to disease or a terrorist action. I have been fortunate enough to by pass it.

This is why you shouldn't worry about the little things. Life today is stressful as ever. The economy isn't good and a lot of people are struggling to get by. But if you have your health and your loved ones close by it could be worse. The next time you're feeling down just think about someone worse off than you. This usually helps me.

The reason why I am writing this article is because someone very close to me has early onset alzheimers. For those of you who don't know what that is it's when you get alzheimers before 65 and can even affect people in their 30's. It's very heart breaking to see. Every day is a struggle. Imagine being 35 years old and have trouble remembering things.

The point is the fact that this disorder is indeed less predictable. Most professionals exclude any kind of Alzheimer's in affected individuals under 55 which make early onset alzheimers quite challenging to understand. This is an emerging condition in the states and medical professionals can't know exactly why. Healthcare practitioners simply don't determine what brings about this health problem to get started so early in some people. Know how is potency, which is making doctor's helpless as they know very little regarding it.

That is why I say your life is unreasonably quite short. For those who are one of the fortunate ones to be fit reap the benefits of it. Be fortunate that you usually don't need to get out of bed each day and persevere through hideous train of situations.

so happy: Give Gratitude.


 There is no shame in being super-fabulous. However, ingrates are obnoxious. In order to avoid falling into that category, make sure to give thanks on a regular basis. For instance, next time you’re wrapping up your yoga practice, listen to the instructor when he tells you to think of something or someone you are grateful for. Not to mention, regardless of how your week is going,  there is always someone far worse off than you. So if nothing else, just be thankful that you’re not them.

Having Difficulty Sleeping - The Common Causes Of Insomnia

By Sean T Saunders


Insufficient sleep, commonly known as insomnia, is a condition that most people experience nowadays. Although there are numerous reasons that can be attributed to this problem, the main reasons of insomnia are day to day problems, emotional anxiety and unhealthy eating habits. You will need to identify and eliminate the causes at the earliest to prevent it from causing any other secondary health complication.

The extremely competitive work environment is one of the primary causes of insomnia. With employers expecting their staff to go the extra mile to achieve their targets, workers are stretching themselves thin to fulfill the expectations. This in addition to the expectations of parents, partners and children is bound to give any person sleepless nights. The only approach to overcome this problem is to adopt certain stress relief measures to help your get recharged. A couple of minutes of meditation just before you sleep will help to relieve stress and you will be able to enjoy sound restful sleep the whole night.

Another common reason for insufficient sleep is increased caffeine content in the body. People who drink coffee every hour or two are the ones who are at risk of insomnia. As a precautionary measure, doctors recommend to minimize coffee to just two or three cups a day and avoid coffee consumption at least three hours prior to bedtime to enjoy sound relaxing sleep.

Improper eating habits could also cause sleep problems. Going to bed on an empty stomach is as harmful as going to bed stuffed to the hilt. Individuals suffering from anorexia and bulimia face the risk of insomnia. You need to consult a qualified dietitian to draw up a diet plan if you would like to avoid restless and wakeful nights. Don't think twice about visiting a psychiatric specialist if you feel the eating problem has gotten out of hand.

Individuals who smoke excessively are also vulnerable to sleep related issues. The nicotine content in the cigarettes increases the pulse rate and heart beat in individuals making them feel restless. It also intensifies the flow of blood to the brain and temporarily kills weariness, thereby preventing you from getting a sound sleep.

Insufficient exercises and a desk bound lifestyle also trigger insomnia. Physical exercises causes fatigue and tiredness, causing your body crave for rest. Even if you do not go to a gymnasium regularly or workout for hours on end, you can get good sleep by just taking a small stroll in your garden for about 10 minutes prior to bedtime. This will not just relax the muscles of the body, but also enhance the blood flow, therefore aiding in better sleep. You should exercise every day and stop being a couch potato if you want to enjoy sound sleep at night. A quick ten minute walk before hitting the bed will also suffice. This relaxes the muscles of the body, promotes blood circulation and also relieves the mind off stress.

In addition to this, there are various other causes of insomnia like drug abuse, excessive intake of alcohol and inconsistent sleep patterns. Irrespective of the cause, it is necessary to take precautionary measures the minute you feel sleep deprived to prevent it from leading to additional complications that could affect mental health.

so skinny: Plan then Dine.


Dinner with the girls doesn’t have to be a diet disaster. Before your big meal out, find a menu online and do some perusing.  If you’re in a health-conscious kind of mood, give yourself a couple low-cal options. When you get to the restaurant, don’t open the menu and get tempted by the fat girl food. If you’re feeling extra decadent, evaluate what you’re up against. Budget your calories leading up to the meal accordingly. This will curtail some of that post-splurge guilt.

Reduced Sleep And How It Effects You - The Typical Symptoms

By Sean T Saunders


Should you look in the mirror in the morning and see that you've got big black circles below your eyes, your energy level is very low and it's hard to think straight, you might be suffering from a medical condition known as sleep deprivation. This problem is caused by insufficient sleep and can adversely affect both the body and the mind. If you do not sleep the appropriate number of hours each night you can become exhausted, irritable and clumsy. Your ability to think, referred to as cognitive function, is also impaired by not getting enough rest. Sleep deprivation effects are very bad for your health.

Countless physiological sleep deprivation effects are noted by medical researchers. Some of the problems arising from lack of sleep are painful muscles, headaches, black circles or bags below the eyes, a higher level of stress hormones and higher blood pressure. Not enough sleep can also lead to obesity as well as diabetes. The psychological effects associated with sleep deprivation include depression, memory lapses, frustration, irritability and hallucinations. Using magnetic resonance imaging methods, doctors have demonstrated that sleep deprivation adversely affects cognitive function in the brain. Some medical researchers have also found a relationship between sleep deprivation and impaired glucose tolerance.

If you have not been getting enough sleep your body might be showing some of the symptoms or signs of sleep deprivation. If you are irritable all of the time and have a hard time trying to concentrate, you need more sleep. If you regularly feel tired out only throughout the day and you've lost your appetite, you must know that these are sleep deprivation effects. Not getting adequate sleep makes your body vulnerable to infections and might cause shortness of breath. Having any of these complications means you must visit your doctor for a checkup.

Sleep deprivation could have a wide selection of short term effects. These could include impairment of the capability to think cognitively and a reduction in mental alertness as well as in the ability to perform tasks. Memory functions are also adversely affected by lack of sleep. Becoming overly tired can bring about vehicle accident injuries and even death and may also bring about workplace injuries. Sleep deprivation effects over the long run are related to serious health problems like hypertension leading to heart attacks or stroke. Psychological problems and mental impairment may also result from a chronic lack of sufficient sleep.

Most people are aware that coffee incorporates caffeine and that it is a mild stimulant that can help keep you awake. Quite a few cola drinks also have caffeine as do non-prescription wake up pills. Using stimulants and using short naps are suggested by many medical professionals in an effort to alleviate sleep deprivation effects. This can work very well in the short term but it's not effective over long periods of time. If you have been suffering from any of the signs or symptoms of sleep deprivation, the only proven cure is that you should get more sleep on a regular, daily basis.

Walking Your Way To Better Health

By Rui Ludovino


Believe it or not, walking is one of the most effortless exercises that is available outside of a few others which tend to be rather boring.

It is also very time consuming for us to get out and walk for a couple of miles every day.

That is especially true if your time tends to be gobbled up by family responsibilities and a heavy workload. You can still get out and do your walking if you are able to double up your activities in some way or another. For example, if you like to read you may enjoy listening to some audio books whenever you're walking. It's a good way to enjoy two activities at once. So you can save your time.

You don't need to really leave the house in order to enjoy a walk. Park your treadmill right in front of the television set and get up off of the couch whenever your shows start to come on. Walking for an hour whenever you're watching television is one of the most effortless forms of exercise that you're going to do. Often, we become so engrossed in what we are watching that we don't realize that we are exercising at all. By doing so, we can do both task at the same time.

Walking is not only one of the most convenient exercises that can be done, it is also one of the most effective. If you can somehow find the time to put in a half hour every day in the mornings and a half hour in the evenings, your health will be drastically changed in a month's time. You should try this out because there is absolutely no harm that will happen to you.

Breathe Your Weight Trim

By Rui Ludovino


What if I told you that it would not be necessary for you to go to the gym or to exercise at all in order for you to remain healthy? Although it certainly is a good idea for you to exercise to a certain extent, you may be able to receive some of the same benefits without effort by just breathing in the proper way. After all, the breath that we have is a large part of what makes up our life and if we are breathing improperly we may be hurting our health. Let's take a look at some deep breathing exercises and what they can do for us.

One of the problems that many of us tend to have is that we are shallow breathers. Do this test for yourself to see how good your breathing is but you're going to have to do so whenever you are not really paying attention to it. By breathing properly, you are doing more than just filling your lungs with air.

Your diaphragm is also moving when you breathe allowing your lungs to expand to capacity. Whenever your diaphragm moves up and down as a result of your breathing, your stomach will go in and out. Check this and see for yourself. You may need to ask somebody else to watch you breathe whenever you are not thinking about it to see if you're actually breathing deeply or not.

Whenever we breathe, we bring oxygen into our lungs and it is picked up by the blood and carried directly into the heart. This oxygen is what helps to feed and fuel our body in a lot of different ways. If we are oxygen deprived, our body will not be functioning properly and we will have a difficult time staying in shape. By concentrating on our breathing and the learning how to breathe properly all of the time, your health will be corrected and improved.

One of the easiest ways to make sure that you are breathing properly is to take a little bit of time every day to do some deep breathing exercises. Not only will this help to retrain us but it will also bring a lot of oxygen into our body, something that will boost our metabolism. By doing this on a regular basis and teaching yourself how to breathe whenever you're not doing the exercises, you will be helping yourself to be healthy in mind and body.
