10 Healthy Habits for Life

This article is for those who don’t have a health insurance and that's why they have a big investment in staying healthy. And this is exactly why I ran a little research for them today — I found the top causes of death, and then created a spreadsheet for the easily controllable risk for each.
There are numerous things that can’t be controlled such as your age, family history of diseases, gender etc. But others can. And those things aren’t huge surprising as you already know not to smoke, drink too much, or eat untidily.
 t’s interesting that all of the major diseases are caused by the same things: smoking, diet, exercise, alcohol and stress.


Below I’m going to list the top habits you can change, and simple methods for changing them.

1. Stop smoking. This is undoubtedly the most important habit. Actually there is no positive fact on smoking. It affects almost every single one of the leading causes of death. It’s probably the hardest of these habits to change; but not impossible at all. Also be aware of second hand (indirect) smoking. It is just as harmful.

2. Exercise. I don’t want to advise you to exercise, but listen to this: lack of exercise is a main issue for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, breast cancer, high blood pressure, colon & rectal cancers, obesity, depression and cholesterol. If you don’t exercise, you’re just asking to get a major disease. It’s almost a thrilling pill: do a little of exercise daily, and get healthy. You don’t need to put much time — start with 5 minutes a day in the morning.

3. Cut out red & processed meats- I don’t recommend going vegetarian. Just remember, consuming red meats, and processed meats like bacon, sausages, canned meats and so on, is a risk factor for stomach cancer, high cholesterol, colon/rectal cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke. The overwhelming mass of research supports this.

4. Eat fruits & vegetables- This is obviously a great decision if you start consuming fruits & veggies instead of meats. Having fruits and vegetables reduces your risk of several leading diseases, and truly, it’s one of the easiest habits to abide by. Eat salad without heavy dressings, croutons or cheese, add vegetables to soups, and prepare veggies as a healthy side dish with dinner or lunch. Eat fruits with breakfast and try to eat it as snacks.

5. Reduce salt and saturated/soaked fats. These foods increase the risks of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, which increase risk for heart disease and stroke. Obesity is a common factor you may import from these foods. If you search on the internet for salt & saturated foods you must find that no one is there to advise to eat these foods without the diary and meat industries owners. Try to cook your own healthy meals instead of eating out or eating prepared foods.

6. Reduce stress- Stress is a key to heart disease and high blood pressure and stroke. So try to get ride of stress entirely. Just remember, the matter you are in stress for is not more important than your life.  Simplify your workday so that you’re not overly stressed. Exercise regularly to relieve stress.

7. Sleep well- A perfect or satisfactory sleep on daily basis can be a magical pill for your health. Sleep 7-9 hours each night. Deep peaceful sleep revitalizes the body. It also relaxes the mind and soul. Irregular sleeping patterns can kill a good health. In my previous post, I shared some food habits for a good sleep. You may read that.

8. Consume alcohol in moderation- Heavy drinking is one of the major risk factors for many diseases. Having a bottle of bear or glass of wine each day is realistic, which relaxes the mind but more than three servings daily are a bit much risky for health.

9. Lose weight (if you’re overweight)- Losing weight is not exactly a habit — the best habit to form to lose weight is to eat less or maintain a proper diet. Overweight is just below smoking the worst risk factor for many diseases.

10- Consult with the professionals- Basically, this is the most important habit of all. Consulting with a nutritionist or personal trainer can be inspiring as well as perceptive. The best way to get in shape is to follow the advice of industry professionals.


Try to change all of your bad habits for the sake of your health. I changed some of my habits, slowly, in tiny tiny steps, and it wasn’t so hard. My suggestion is “Don’t try to change everything at a time/overnight, and don’t make it hard on yourself.” It’s actually very easy if you’re patience and if you just start with determination.

Here are some tips how to change these habits:

  • Change only one habit at a time. It isn’t the fact that which habit you choose. Just choose one. Remember “A thousand mile journey starts with a single step”. 
  • Create positive habits you enjoy. If you start enjoying it, the habit change will be easy. Replace smoking with affirmative habits you enjoy that fulfill the needs that smoking now fulfills (stress reduction, boredom relief, etc.). Replace red meats/fatty foods with healthy foods you enjoy.
  • Start as small as possible. Start from 5 minutes. Yes, Just do 5 minutes the first week, and try to be consistent as possible. Then do 10 minutes and try to increase the time. Small change is definitely the most effective method for changing habits. Remember, “Slow change lasts.”
  • Make it social. Find a partner or group (friends, colleagues etc) to change the habit with you so you’re more likely to stick with it. For example if you bet your friends that if you get caught with cigarette you have to pay the dinner bill. I’m sure you are not going to pay huge bill for a cigarette!

I believe no suggestion is important if you really want to change all of  your bad habits. Nothing but firm determination can give you a real enjoyment of better health. Just ask yourself “Why I will not take the chance to get a good health just maintaining some simple rules?”

Skin Care: 5 Tips for Healthy Skin



Skin is that part of body which attracts people at first sight. So it’s important to make your skin more attractive. You may think you don’t have much time to care for your skin. Well, I’m going to share some simple tips that exactly don’t take “centuries” to follow. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle can help postpone the natural aging process and prevent various skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips. . Here I’m going to say something about skin care

 

1. Protect yourself from the sun

We all know, one of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. Excessive sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as amplify the risk of skin cancer. 

For the most complete sun protection:
  • Use sunscreen. Sunscreen protects your skin from ultraviolet rays. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. When you're outdoors, try to reapply sunscreen every 3 hours — or more often if you're swimming or washing body or perspiring.
  • Seek shade.  As the sun rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., try to avoid them at that time.
  • Use umbrella. Try to take an umbrella with you when you are going out.
  • Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats/caps. Also think laundry additives, which give clothing an extra layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is particularly designed to protect ultraviolet rays. Use sunglasses to protect your skin around the eyes from being wrinkled.

 

2. Don't smoke

Smoking is full of faults. Smoking (nicotine) makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the small blood vessels in the outermost levels of skin, which decreases blood flow. This reduces the oxygen and nutrients of skin that are essential to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — the fibers that give your skin its potency and softness.  The recurring facial expressions (you think heroic) you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles gradually.
The best way to protect your skin is to quit smoking. Remember, nobody ever found a single positive side of smoking.  You may read my post 10 Healthy Habits & Tips to Follow Them.

3. Treat your skin gently

Daily cleansing and shaving can take a charge on your skin. To keep it gentle you can:
  • Limit bath time. Excessive warm water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use mild warm rather than hot water.
  • Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin and make your skin harsh. Use mild cleansers.
  • Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving and wait for few minutes. Use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows but not against it.
  • Pat dry. After bathing or washing your body, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
  • Moisturize dry skin. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that fits your skin. For daily use, consider a moisturizer that contains proper SPF. 

4. Eat a healthy diet

Perfect medicine. A healthy diet can help you in many ways. Diet has a close relation to skin. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and foods with proteins. Some researches suggest that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates may promote younger looking skin. You may read my posts related to diet. 

5. Manage stress

Over stress can make your skin more sensitive, older looking and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin and a healthy state of mind, take affirmative steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, reduce your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more fabulous than you expect. Exercise daily as it helps reduce stress. Try to have a nice sleep keeping all your tensions outside the bed.

Good skin care can keep your skin healthy,attractive and glowing for years to come.

Know Autism



Autism is the name of a mysterious mental disorder. It is a life-long brain disorder that is normally diagnosed in early childhood. People who are with autism are called “autistic”. An autistic has difficulties communicating, forming relationships with others and find it hard to make sense of the world him or her.In this short post I will share some important points about this mysterious disorder. 


                                




Ways to Help Children with Autism
When a child is diagnosed with autism, there are many characteristics of autism that the child may exhibit. It should be kept in mind that children with autism do not express the same symptoms as the other so it's important to recognize every symptom in case there is just one of the symptoms recognized.


You may want to think about taking your child to their doctor to rule out autism if you have noticed that your child is not on the rise like they should. There are many other conditions and disorders that can affect your child at different ages. But keep in mind that autism is becoming one of the most common conditions. Also remember that boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. As it is a mental disorder, autism affects people of all racial, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.


Impact of Autism
Some impacts of autism are really extreme. In the case of people with, for instance, Asperger Syndrome, levels of mental health troubles and depression are high as individuals struggle to cope in everyday society. at the same time as many people argue that people with autism should be watched simply as different rather than 'disordered', there is no doubt of the very real suffering that autism can cause.


As many children with autism do not sleep for long periods of time, parents and siblings usually have to cope with unyielding challenging behavior and possibly sleep deprivation. So it is obvious that for the family of an autistic child life is often stressful.


For the reason that children and adults with autism find it difficult to manage in social situations, many families become isolated.


Autism Treatment Options and Precautions


Remedy of autism is still a matter of fact for the psycho specialists. It is hard to find the right medicine to treat a situation when it is unsure of the origin. Doctors are trying but there is no knowledge of what is causing autism and how to avoid it. Till now there is no vaccination or effective medicine for it.

Preventing hair fall; Is Your hair fall normal?


It is not an easy task to find some persons who don’t face hair fall problem. If you wash your hair everyday, it is considered quite natural losing 40-50 strands of hair at each wash. But if the rate of hair fall is upsetting, or your hair has started to come out in tufts, and you aren’t able to maintain the same volume of hair there could be cause for concern. In this short post I would like to explain something about this.






                                Hope you don't face it daily!




Causes of hair fall 

It is not unknown that genetics has a great contribution for baldness. But what are other causes? Well, the other reasons for severe hair fall are trichotillamania (compulsive psychological urge to pull out one’s hair), hair styling like coloring, perming, ironing (heating), side effect to certain drugs like in chemotherapy, acne and diet pills, skin diseases on scalp and diabetes. 

How to control hair fall

**My first tip is that “know your hair”. That means, study your hair regularly and keep an eye that which products are really helping reduce your hair falling. If you use hair gel make sure to wash it off the next day (and also ensure a good hair gel), do shampoo and condition with reliable products and keep your scalp and hair clean.

** Avoid ironing, perming, rough toweling wet hair , blow-drying and if possible, avoid drugs that can be threat for your hair 

**Massage your scalp with lukewarm oil, as it improves blood circulation, trim your hair if you have split ends.

**There are some effective natural treatments, like tea leaves decoction and curd as natural conditioners. You can apply paste of fresh curry leaves. Shikakai powder is also healthy for hair. 

**If you see lot of hair fall then rub your scalp with onion juice, garlic juice or ginger juice. You can use one out of the three don’t mix two or three, apply it and leave it over night and wash it out next day.
