How Sitting Too Long affects the body
Head - Blood clots that form after sitting too rigidly can travel to the brain causing strokes
Lungs - In individual who experience heart failure; fluid first backs u in the lungs
Arms - Physical activity reduces the risk of hypertension, or high blood pressure.
Stomach - Sitting too much contributes to obesity and colon cancer. Enzymes in the blood vessels of muscles responsible for burning fat get shut off, and the body's method of metabolizing fuels such as glucose and lipids gets disturbed
Neck - Fluid retained in the legs during the day moves to the neck at night and contributes to obstructive sleep apnea
Heart - A sedentary lifestyle contributes to cardiovascular disease. People who suffer from heart failure and obstructive sleep apnea, fluid collects in the lungs and neck at night.
Legs - Fluid collects in the legs during sitting. Walking helps pump it out before it causes problems.

What is Good Oral Hygiene?
Good oral hygiene results in a mouth that looks and smells healthy. This means:
If your gums do hurt or bleed while brushing or flossing, or you are experiencing persistent bad breath, see your dentist. Any of these conditions may indicate a problem.
Your dentist or hygienist can help you learn good oral hygiene techniques and can help point out areas of your mouth that may require extra attention during brushing and flossing.

Safe Drinking Water: Fact and Fiction
WATER is the most important element in our day-to-day life. The quality of our life depends on it. Unfortunately what we get on our tap is less than perfect. As the world population booms and more people are dumping wastes into water channels, some of it inevitably ends up in our water supply.
Research shows 97% of our tap water comes from rivers, which are connected to drainage and sewage systems, therefore it is no surprise thousands of chemicals are found in water.
So what are the long term effects of consuming these polluted water? The list of illness may include cancers, blood contamination, and unhealthy cells, which slowly breaks down our vital organs, besides clogged heart and arteries.
Consider this. Scientist have found pesticides in water causing abnormalities to animals.
For example, a class of pollutants known as endocrine disruptors affects animals' natural hormones, causing male fishes to develop eggs in their sex organs, and male leopard frogs to develop eggs and ovaries.
Beluga Whales in Canada are reported to have a higher rate of cancer than usual, due to toxic chemicals discharged from rivers.
Studies in the U.S. show we are exposed to other people's drugs through drinking water.
There are approximately 100,000 chemicals in use in the world, and some include growth hormones, pharmaceuticals and antibiotics which are excreted and find their way into our tap water, causing dire health consequences to humans and animals alike. Hospitals that throw expired drugs openly are a major concern as well.
In another study, about 400 chemicals were found in umbilical cords, more than half which cause cancer in humans or animals, are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and cause birth defects or abnormal development in animals. Scientists refer to these as "body burden."
Local researcher Alan Ng who has more than 15 years experience in water related industry said: "Drinking polluted water can be compared to smoking cigarettes, it does not kill us immediately, but may cause a lot of health problems in the long term." 10 Tips to Cut Cancer Risk
So does installing water filters help to remove 99% of pollutants? Apparently not. Ng said most water filtration system cannot remove dissolved chemicals especially inorganic minerals.
"There are tens of thousands of chemicals in the water found during water testing. Laboratory tests show many toxic chemicals are present in filtered water as dissolved chemicals take only a few seconds to move through these filters.
Currently there are many water purification systems available in the market including GAC and carbon block filters, ceramic filters, sand filters, reverse osmosis, or distiller. So which type of purification of water amongst them are most effective in removing contaminants from the water?
Apparently none of the above., said Ng. The answer lies in water distillation, which remains the most effective process as it does not remove the contaminants from water but extracts water by boiling it to steam, and leaving the contaminants behind.

That is why only distilled water can be used for intravenous dripping and laboratory tests, besides being used in the former Mir Space Station and now in the International Space Station.
So what is the difference between distilled water and other forms of water? Ng said, it is simply this: "All other forms of water contain inorganic minerals as well as chemicals, but distilled water is pure.
"Our body is approximately 70% water, which is the medium in which the body uses to flush away toxic and waste products. Therefore it is important the water we drink is free from pollutants so it does not reverse the process by polluting the body with contaminants during the cleansing process.
"Studies show when chemicals are present in our body, they interfere with white blood cells production.
"Our immune system is really a miracle. People who lose both of their arms and legs in accident or war can still survive. If you cut the skin of a 100-year old person, it will heal by itself. If you do not systemically destroy your immune system with toxic chemicals, you will be much healthier. It is as simple as that."
Ng said it is ironic some people stress on eating organic foods, but consume thousands of chemicals through dirty drinking water. Ng said distilled water is the cheapest "health food". If one were to consume only two litres of distilled water per day, it costs only 50 sen a day.
"You can distill your own water and save money every day by making your own coffee and tea instead of drinking outside.
"Furthermore drinks made with distilled water tastes much better as there are no chemicals."

Distilled water health benefits
DISTILLED WATER is purified with a distiller which turns water into steam by boiling and leaving the contaminants behind. With distilled water, you do not have to be concerned about bacteria, chemicals or other contaminants. Here are among the benefits:
* No microscopic contaminants
Distillation removes microscopic contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa.
* No added chemicals
Distillation removes chemicals such as fluoride and chlorine, which are commonly added to tap water and may appear in other types of bottled water.
* No farm or garden chemicals
Additional chemical contaminants which have been found in other types of bottled water including fertiliser residue, herbicides and pesticides. These are eliminated from distilled water.
* No inorganic chemicals
Distillation removes any trace of chemicals, such as disinfectants and asbestos originating from factories, mines and other facilities.
* No sodium or other minerals
Distilled water has no salt, calcium, iron or magnesium, the most common minerals in tap and bottled water. Vice versa from mineral water because its contain menerals
* Flushes away mineral deposits
Plain water as a treatment for various diseases
SCIENTISTS have found the habit of drinking water upon rising every morning has tremendous benefits. The Japanese Medical Society, for instance, has proven that in certain cases, this practice could even treat serious diseases. The diseases that were studied by the medical society in Japan include: headaches, physical body aches, arthritis, rapid heart beat, epilepsy, excess body fat, bronchitis, tuberculosis, meningitis, kidney and urinary infection. For this practice to be effective, certain rules should be followed:
* Drink four glasses of water (160ml) upon rising every morning and before brushing your teeth.
* Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth but do not consume any food or drink for 45 minutes.
* After 45 minutes, you may have your food and drink as usual.
* 15 minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner, do not consume any food or drink for two hours.
* Elderly patients who are initially unable to drink four glasses of water all at once, could start this practice by gradually drinking up to four glasses of water.
* This healing method is believed to be able to treat various diseases within certain periods of time.

Important Facts about Impotence ED
THE term "Erectile Dysfunction" (ED) or impotence is usually defined as the persistent (lasting at least six months) inability to achieve or sustain an erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or the ability to keep an erection firm enough to permit satisfactory sexual performance.

Most men experience this at some point in their lives, usually by age 40, and are not psychologically affected by
Choosing a Right Soap
CONSIDERING the fact that soap is over 5,000 years old, it is perhaps the oldest beauty product most of us would come to know. The regular household would not be able to operate without this cleansing bar. We use it to wash our hands, for bathing and sometimes, to cleanse our faces with gentler but just as effective versions. Many of our childhood memories when it comes to bathing, revolve around using a bar of soap, playing and making suds out of it.
With its many functions, it is no wonder why when it comes to buying a bar of
Your Natural Vitamin Supplements
WHEN most people think of vitamins they think of a pill, or several pills, as their source. If you ask about the "natural" source of specific vitamins you would probably hear that you can find vitamin C in an orange or vitamin D from the sun.
To refresh our memories, or perhaps to learn this for the first time, let's take a look at the basic vitamins, what they do for us and where, they can be found in nature.

Hiccups Cure - Hic embarrassed
Type ‘cures for hiccups’ into Google and you’re presented with over half a million results, at least some of which aren’t pornography. But if there’s so much information out there, then why does no one seem to know what the hell hiccups are, why we get them and most importantly, how to make them go away?
Hiccups are known to doctors as Synchronous Diaphragmatic Flutters (SDFs): sporadic contractions of the diaphragm occurring several times a minute, causing air to rush into the lungs through the epiglottis, hence the embarrassing ‘hic’ noise.

Hair Care for Men
I've always found ads for products promoting "healthy hair" to be a bit funny. There's no such thing as healthy hair. Hair is basically protein and keratin with no blood supply or nervous system and has no reparative qualities. Hair is not alive, so it cannot be healthy. I prefer to use the term "well maintained" hair. Once damage has occurred, the only way to repair the hair is to cut off the damaged length. Of course, a healthy looking head of hair starts with a great looking haircut, but that's just the beginning. Like your car, your hair needs maintenance in order to preserve strength, elasticity, and shine. Following are my hair care tips for men. Don't use soap for your hair, instead use shampoo.
