Anxiety And Stress

Everyone feels a little stressed once in a while.

Stress is a very natural thing that happens to people who experience great change.

People can experience stress when they are happy or sad.

Stress is very normal; it can even help people feel motivated to accomplish tasks.

The danger is when the stress begins to cause undue distress.

Too much stress can even lead to physical exhaustion.
Sometimes diseases or illnesses can develop because of stress.
Too much stress include various heart diseases, migraines, high blood pressure and allergies.
Anxiety refers to a feeling of discomfort.
It's not a typical sense of discomfort but extreme unease that can be attributed to having to face stressful situations.
Anxiety, though another normal phenomenon for everyone, can be telling of a serious mental condition, especially useless and excessive anxiety.
Anxiety can be considered a mental health issue when it begins to interfere with a person's daily routine or daily life.
It is also true that when there is severe or long-term and consistent anxiety that this could mean that the person has serious mental health problems.

Physical stressors can act as agents in causing psychological symptoms.
Depression can result from a prolonged illness.
The opposite can also occur; psychological stressors in turn can also create physical symptoms.
The most common type of physical symptom is feeling nauseous when something bad happens or a shortness of breath when unexpected news comes.

When a person feels continuous and overwhelming stress, an anxiety syndrome can develop.
Anxiety is characterized by a feeling of apprehension, the "sick-to-the-stomach" feeling that is associated with fear and nervousness.
Most of the time, people can pinpoint the cause of stress or anxiety.
However, there are cases when the anxiety syndrome seems to be a result of many different things that may not necessarily be too overwhelming individually, but when put together lead to that feeling of mental distress.

It looks like a cactus, but is actually a milkweed-like plant that grows in Botswana and the Kalahari Desert in Southwestern Africa.

The Hoodia has been used by the South African tribes for many years.
They used this plant when they were hunting.

Hoodia helped to prolong hunting trips by suppressing hunger, increasing energy levels and even improving libido!

The secret of the Hoodia is
a molecule , P57,who is believed to be responsible for Hoodias' ability to suppress appetite, increase energy levels, and help with weight loss.

Can massaging the skin on the face and neck cause damage?


There are two layers of skin; the dermis and the epidermis.
Then there is another layer under these, called the subcutaneous layer.
All these layers together are essentially the thickness of typing paper on the face.
This subcutaneous layer also contains fat.
It's often called the subcutaneous layer of fat.

If you pinch and roll this layer you can actually break it down, causing damage.

Instead, you can gently work the face through massage and exercise, keeping in mind that "gentle" is the key word here and something miraculous happens.

But first a little talk about how the muscles attach in the body and in the face.

Muscles do attach from bone to bone in the body, essentially and from the bone directly into the skin on the face.

In the western culture where we show a lot of emotions on our face and therefore habitually create expression, we tend to create lines on our faces.

We are not creating lines in the muscles, but rather we're creating lines in this subcutaneous layer.. the analogy being as if you were to "score" cardboard… we tend to "score" this subcutaneous layer and the lines are created as we repeat a particular expression over and over again.

Do you reccomend Atkins Diet ?


high-protein ? high-fat ? very low-carbohydrate regimen ?

Atkins Diet emphasizes meat, cheese, and eggs, while discouraging foods such as bread, pasta, fruit, and sugar.

People with diabetes taking insulin are at risk of becoming hypoglycemic if they do not eat appropriate foods.

Also, persons who exercise every day may get low energy levels and muscle fatigue from low carbohydrate intake.

X rays during early pregnancy ??


X-rays can harm an unborn baby.

If a baby receives more than 5,000 millirads of radiation from x-rays before birth, the baby might have birth defects.

The x-rays might cause leukemia.

Most x-rays give much smaller doses of radiation than this.

For example, during an x-ray of the legs, only 1 millirad is absorbed.

Although only a small amount of radiation may be absorbed, x-rays should be avoided, especially in early pregnancy.
This is why x-ray technologists may ask when you had your last menstrual period before taking an x-ray.

X-ray studies are done during pregnancy only in urgent cases.

For example, you may have an x-ray if you have a broken bone, to check for pneumonia, or to look for kidney stones.

When taking an x-ray, the technologist should put a lead apron over you to protect the baby.


However, this may not be possible if the apron will interfere with the necessary views (for example, x-rays of the chest).

Ultrasound machines do not use radiation. Often an ultrasound scan can be done instead of an x-ray.
