One Minute Power Tip:

"Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great, make you feel that you too can become great."
- Mark Twain famous quote

Get Moving!

Begin each exercise session with at least five minutes of a slow warm-up. Chose an exercise routine that will raise your heart rate to your target zone.

Stay in your target zone for 20 minutes. Start your cool down, it should last for 5 minutes.

If your target zone is 50% of your maximum heart rate you will burn body fat, lower your cholesterol, blood pressure and risk factors for degenerative diseases.

Be careful to keep your heart rate at 50 to 60% of your target zone at first, increasing the intensity of your work-out as your fitness level improves.

Healthy Oils Cooking article

Cooking with Oils

Everyone knows the foods to eat that improve health, although how we cook the food can be just as important. With there being so many oils and butter products claiming to be the best, it can be quite difficult to know which ones to use and which ones to avoid.

1. Canola oil
Canola oil is a popular oil, with many physicians claiming that it has the ability to lower the risk of heart disease. The oil is low in saturated fat, high in monounsaturated fat, and offers the best fatty acid composition when compared to other oils.

You can use canola oil in sauteing, as a marinade and even in low temperature stir frying. It has a bland flavor, which makes it a great oil for foods that contain many spices. Unlike other oils, this one won't interfere with the taste of your meal.

2. Olive oil
olive oil offers a very distinct flavour with plenty of heart healthy ingredients. The oil is rich in monounsaturated fat, helps to lower cholesterol levels and reduce risk of cancer. It's also rich in antioxidants and has a very long storage life.

Even though it can be used in cooking, it's the healthiest when uncooked, such as with a salad or dipping sauce. When you use it with cooking, you should heat it on low to medium temperatures, making sure to avoid high heat.

3. Butter
Butter is one food that has been around for many, many years. Butter tastes good, and offers sources of Vitamin A and other fat soluble vitamins such as E, K, and even D. Butter is also made from natural ingredients and not chemically or artificially processed.

You can use butter with cooking, baking, or even as a spread. You can also pair it with creamy sauces, marinades, baked dishes, or even bread.

4. Margarine
Margarine was first introduced as an alternative to high fat butter. When it was first created however, it was loaded with trans fat, a substance that we now know raises bad cholesterol.

As a cooking oil, margarine tastes good, it's lower in fat than most oils and butter, and it's quite easy to spread. It's available in a variety of different products and a good source of vitamin E.

When it comes to cooking with oils, there are several at your disposal. There are many more than what is mentioned here, although the ones above are the most popular. Eating healthy involves cooking healthy food - which is where your cooking oil really takes centre stage.

Natural Beauty recipe

Homemade Facial Mask for Oily Skin

Mix 2 teaspoons of Fuller's earth with 2 teaspoons of chilled rose-water to make a thick paste.

Apply on your face with a brush, avoiding the delicate areas around the eyes. Leave it on for about 20 minutes or till completely dry.

Rinse with warm water. The result is a clear pinkish youthful skin - all the excess grease and dead cells have been cleared away.

The treatment should be used for oily skins once a week but if your skin is really very oily then you can apply it even twice a week.

“How To Have A Healthy, White Smile”

INTRODUCTION to dental health care

They say that the eyes are the “windows to the soul.”

If that is the case, then the smile must be the doorway.

Think about it for a moment.

Have you ever wondered how many times you will smile or laugh in your lifetime?

Does it really matter?

It can matter a great deal if you are one of the millions of Americans who hide their mouth in shame rather than letting their inner joy reflect outward.

Nothing lets the world know more about us than the way we project ourselves on our surroundings and to other people.

Whatever the condition of your smile today, it can be changed. We are about to show you how.

History

Before you can begin to appreciate what the advances in modern dentistry mean to us in the modern world, we must take a look at dentistry throughout the ages.

Sumerian tablets recovered from 5,000 BC tell us that these ancient people took their dental care very seriously using the first known toothbrush. It was fashioned from a tree branch and they used it to rid themselves of "tooth worms."

Jump ahead to just 100 BC and we find a Roman medical writer named Celsus. Believe it or not, he gave treatment advice for toothaches, jaw fractures and even oral hygiene.

By the middle ages, medicine began to emerge as a vocation. Monks were the surgeons and dentists of the day because they were usually the only "educated" people in their location.

They practiced from around 900 AD up until 1163 when "The Church" decided to forbade the practice.

Fortunately, barbers were privy to the knowledge once held by monks only. During that period in history, barbers visited the monasteries frequently. Monks required shaved heads then and that was a service provided by the local barber.

Because of their close association, the barbers frequently assisted the monks in their medical and surgical duties. It was a natural transition for them to pick up the slack after the monks forbidden edict.

From around 1200 AD barbers eventually branched off into two separate entities. One arm continued to do routine services such as shaving, bloodletting and the extraction of teeth.

The other branch was the basis for more sophisticated medical, dental and surgical services that eventually comprised the medical community.

By the 18th Century the medical profession had fully evolved. In 1760 the earliest medically-trained dentist arrived in America from England. His name was John Baker and his was the first American dental practice.

Perhaps you have had an opportunity to view one of the movie “westerns” where you often see the town barber called upon to extract a tooth for an ailing cowboy. Even that is a far cry from modern dentistry.

With the advances in science and dental medicine it is now possible for someone to have a total dental makeover, no matter what condition their teeth may be in.

In The Beginning

Having a healthy, white smile really isn’t a mystery but in order to understand how your smile can be improved you need to have a basic understanding of how your teeth got to where they are today.

The construction and methodology of our teeth has been the same for thousands of years. Archaeologists recently uncovered a grave that contained an Eskimo child. Due to the dry cold arctic climate, the mummy was perfectly preserved.

Using sophisticated imaging the scientists were able to obtain a perfect image of the skull. There, just below the first set of teeth, lying dormant inside the jaw lay a full set of adult teeth waiting to erupt.

For our little child, that would never happen but we are able to understand the progress of dental formation.

Just as our little Eskimo child, we are all born with two complete sets of teeth. Our first set is called “primary teeth.” You probably recognize them better when referred to as our “baby teeth.”

They are called baby teeth because the first appear at around 6 months of age. You could almost call these our “practice teeth.” Their role is to reserve a spot for the permanent tooth which will begin to appear as the baby teeth are pushed up and out of the way.

This onset of permanent adult teeth begins to occur when we are around 6 years old.

Even though our first set of teeth is temporary, their role in our dental life is very important. In addition to being placeholders for our permanent teeth, these baby teeth are what help us to speak and how to chew.

The first teeth to erupt are usually the four front teeth. You probably don’t remember what they looked like, but they are the most beautiful shade of white imaginable!

When the permanent teeth push the baby teeth out of the way and erupt they too will be a beautiful translucent white. Teeth that dreams are made of!

Even if your child has just one, tiny little pretty white tooth, it is important that you launch him/her on their road to dental health. So, begin by brushing that little tiny tooth and all others as they begin to appear.

It isn’t necessary to use toothpaste, just use plain water. It’s never too soon to begin good dental health practices.

Believe it or not, that first little tooth is just as susceptible to decay as adult teeth. One common problem connected to tooth decay in infants is called “baby bottle decay.”

It occurs as a result from excessive amounts of sugar in the formula, juice or milk the child consumes. For this reason it is a good idea to switch from a bottle to a cup as early as possible for your child.

You also must not allow a child access to beverages such as this on a continuous basis. Nor should a child be allowed to roam around with his or her cup. When a child is thirsty between meal times, offer water.

This will cut down on the possibility of tooth decay and train the child to drink more water, the healthier choice.

A leading cause of dental problems in children is dry mouth. Mouth breathing causes the mouth to dry out. A dry mouth provides a perfect environment for the bacteria that causes tooth decay and to grow.

Children tend to breath through their mouth more often than adults and appear to have more instances of colds, allergies, sinus infections and other nose and ear problems.

A child who sucks their thumb or blanket can also dry out the mouth. Older children who smoke or use alcohol also set themselves up for dry mouth.

You will set a habitual pattern for your child to follow the rest of his life and you will be able to remove particles of food that could develop into plaque which can cause all kinds of problems.

Natural Cures Health Tip:

Your 7 days program to Stress management

They say there's more than one way to skin a cat. The same goes when you start tearing your hair out with all the frustration, grief, anxiety, and yes, stress. It's a state of mental conditioning that is like taking that bitter pill down your throat, causing you to lose your sense of self, and worse your sanity. Just thinking about it can drive anyone off the edge.

And they say that the proactive ones are already living off the edge.

As one stressed-out person to another, I know how it feels, and believe me there are many variants when it comes to stress. Coping with life, and carrying the problems that may or may not belong to you can scratch away the little joy and happiness that you can carry once you head out that door. You can't blame them for being like that; they have their own reasons, so much like we have our reasons to allow stress to weigh us down. They say that stress is all in the mind, well, what's bugging you anyway?

There are several ways to manage stress, and eventually remove it out of your life one of these days. So I'll try to divide it into a seven-day course for you and I promise it's not going to be too taxing on the body, as well as on the mind.

1. Acknowledge stress is good

Make stress your friend! Based on the body's natural "fight or flight" response, that burst of energy will enhance your performance at the right moment. I've yet to see a top sportsman totally relaxed before a big competition. Use stress wisely to push yourself that little bit harder when it counts most.

2. Avoid stress sneezers

Stressed people sneeze stress germs indiscriminately and before you know it, you are infected too!

Protect yourself by recognizing stress in others and limiting your contact with them. Or if you've got the inclination, play stress doctor and teach them how to better manage themselves.

3. Learn from the best

When people around are losing their head, who keeps calm? What are they doing differently? What is their attitude? What language do they use? Are they trained and experienced?

Figure it out from afar or sit them down for a chat. Learn from the best stress managers and copy what they do.

4. Practice socially acceptable heavy breathing

This is something I've learned from a gym instructor: You can trick your body into relaxing by using heavy breathing. Breathe in slowly for a count of 7 then breathe out for a count of 11. Repeat the 7-11 breathing until your heart rate slows down, your sweaty palms dry off and things start to feel more normal.

5. Give stressy thoughts the red light

It is possible to tangle yourself up in a stress knot all by yourself. "If this happens, then that might happen and then we're all up the creek!" Most of these things never happen, so why waste all that energy worrying needlessly?

Give stress thought-trains the red light and stop them in their tracks. Okay so it might go wrong - how likely is that, and what can you do to prevent it?

6. Know your trigger points and hot spots

Presentations, interviews, meetings, giving difficult feedback, tight deadlines…. My heart rate is cranking up just writing these down!

Make your own list of stress trigger points or hot spots. Be specific. Is it only presentations to a certain audience that get you worked up? Does one project cause more stress than another? Did you drink too much coffee?

Knowing what causes you stress is powerful information, as you can take action to make it less stressful. Do you need to learn some new skills? Do you need extra resources? Do you need to switch to decaf?

7. Burn the candle at one end

Lack of sleep, poor diet and no exercise wreaks havoc on our body and mind. Kind of obvious, but worth mentioning as it's often ignored as a stress management technique. Listen to your mother and don't burn the candle at both ends!

So having stress can be a total drag, but that should not hinder us to find the inner peace of mind that we have wanted for a long time. In any case, one could always go to the Bahamas and bask under the summer sun.

Editor’s notes & humour:

HOW TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE READY TO HAVE CHILDREN

MESS TEST
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.

TOY TEST
Obtain a 55-gallon box of LEGGOs (or you may substitute roofing tacks). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night.

GROCERY STORE TEST
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.

DRESSING TEST
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all the arms stay inside.

FEEDING TEST
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.

NIGHT TEST
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00 p.m. begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 p.m. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 p.m. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00 a. m. Set alarm for 5:00 a.m. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.

INGENUITY TEST
Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and pot of paint, turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a Ping-Pong ball, and an empty box of Cocoa Puffs. Make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower.

AUTOMOBILE TEST
Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a dime. Stick it into the cassette player. Take a family size package of chocolate chip cookies. Mash them into the back seat. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There, perfect.

PHYSICAL TEST (Women)
Obtain a large bean bag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10 of the beans.

PHYSICAL TEST (Men)
Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.

FINAL ASSIGNMENT
Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run wild. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.
