Prawns with salsa recipe

A salsa is a Mexican-style vegetable or fruit sauce with a fresh zingy flavour. A tomato, capsicum and chilli salsa makes a wonderful accompaniment for grilled prawn kebabs, here served with sweet melon and crusty bread.

Ingredients for prawns with salsa

32 large raw prawns, peeled but tails left on

1 rockmelon, seeded and cut into cubes

Marinade

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon bottled chopped garlic in oil, drained

1 teaspoon bottled chopped ginger in oil, drained

Salsa

6 vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 red capsicum, seeded and chopped

1 teaspoon bottled chopped garlic in oil, drained

1 fresh green chilli, seeded and finely chopped

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander

salt and pepper

shredded spring onions to garnish

Preparation for prawns with salsa

1.  Preheat the grill. Soak 8 bamboo skewers in cold water (this will prevent them from burning under the grill). Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow dish. Add the prawns and stir to coat them. Cover and chill while preparing the salsa.

2. Mix together the salsa ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pile into a serving bowl. Thread the cubes of melon onto 8 unsoaked wooden skewers and place on a serving dish. Set aside.

3. Thread 4 prawns onto each of the soaked skewers, piercing them through both ends (this will help to keep them flat). Place under the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes or until they are pink, turning them once. Do not overcooks or they will become tough.

4. Garnish the salsa with the shredded spring onions. Place the prawn kebabs on the serving dish with the melon and serve immediately, with the salsa alongside.

What Your Blood Type Reveals About Your Health

If you’re wondering whether you’re at a higher-than-average risk for heart disease, your answer may very well be a pinprick away. A new Harvard study published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology shows that your blood type can actually predict your risk for heart disease. Additional current research shows that certain blood types are associated with other dangerous disorders as well.

Which blood type puts people at highest risk for heart disease?

The study investigated whether certain blood types were associated with the risk of coronary heart disease, by looking at information from two large observational studies, the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. These two studies followed a combined 89,501 American men and women over a 24 to 26 year period.

Participants with the blood type AB had the highest risk of coronary heart disease, the Harvard researchers found. In fact, people with AB blood type were 23 percent more likely to develop coronary heart disease. People who were blood type B had a 15 percent increased risk, and those with blood type A had a 6 percent increased risk compared to the O blood group.

Why would blood type affect the risk of coronary heart disease?

The studies did not explain the exact link between blood type and heart disease. “Blood type is very complicated, so there could be multiple mechanisms at play,” study author Lu Qi said in a news release.

However, blood type A has been linked to elevated levels of cholesterol, as well as high levels of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. People with blood type O have been found to bleed more, which makes them less likely to have blood clots. Since clots which block blood flow through coronary arteries lead to heart attacks, this theory may very well explain the low risk for cardiovascular issues among people with blood type O.

What’s the link between blood type and other diseases?

There have been earlier studies showing links between blood type and risks of infections or diseases. Here are some examples.

Both men and women with blood type AB, and women with blood type B, are more likely to suffer from strokes than people with O blood type.

The gut pathogen Rotavirus, which causes diarrhea and vomiting, has certain strains which are more likely to infect people with blood type A. (Infants can get vaccinated against rotavirus, and frequent hand washing is a good preventative measure for older children and adults.)

People with type B blood have a 72 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer, and the risk is also elevated for AB blood types (51 percent) and those with blood type A (32 percent) compared to people with blood type O. According to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

It’s not all bad news for A and AB blood types, at least not for women seeking fertility treatments—research shows they have more eggs in their ovaries than women with type O blood, who are more likely to have difficulty with fertility treatments.

Certain types of cancers seem to be more prevalent in specific blood types, according to information compiled from 2640 male and female cancer patients in India.

People with type A blood appeared to have higher incidences of breast cancer and lung cancer, blood types B and O were more likely to suffer from gastrointestinal cancer, and people with type B and A blood had higher incidents of oral cancer. In general, those with blood type A seemed to have an increases probability of getting cancer, and those with blood type O had a significantly lower risk.

Reducing Heart Attack Risk

Taking steps to improve your cardiovascular health can save your life, no matter what your blood type is.

Avoiding tobacco use, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising for a half hour or more five days a week will reduce your risk of coronary heart disease. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, including fish twice a week, and limiting sodium, alcohol and sugary drinks is also recommended.

And as reported previously, flossing your teeth, watching comedy, eating dark chocolate, and even spending time in the sunshine are some effective, albeit nontraditional, ways to protect your ticker.

7 Myths That Can Ruin Your Diet

If you’re trying to lose weight, conventional wisdom dictates that cutting snacks and increasing exercise are the two most important steps to take. Actually, they’re not. While not entirely ineffective, exercise alone only leads to very modest weight loss. And eating snacks actually lowers the risk of obesity and can even curb hunger craving.

Here’s the skinny on seven common diet myths that can sabotage weight loss—or even harm your health.

Myth: Dieters can’t have dessert

Fact: 

Desserts after breakfast can actually help you lose weight, so now you can literally have your cake and eat it too. As I’ve reported previously, people who eat small amounts of cake, cookies or chocolate as part of a protein and carbohydrate-rich breakfast shed an average of 40 pounds more than those who forgo their morning desserts, a surprising study showed.

These sweet breakfasts actually reduced levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates hunger. Study participants who ate desserts after breakfast reported fewer cravings and felt more satisfied after meals.

Just remember, though, that it’s possible to do too much of a good thing, so overindulging your sweet tooth is not the best idea. An ounce or two of chocolate with your breakfast, though, may be surprisingly satisfying—and beneficial.

Myth: The best way to slim down is to exercise more

Fact: 

Stepping into the gym may help you lose weight, but without dietary changes, changes are minimal. Working out is healthy and has numerous benefits, especially for disease prevention, but it doesn’t really burn that many calories.

Ten weeks of training (including two strength training and three cardio workouts a week) led to only a .6 pound loss of body weight in 38 people, a 2008 study showed. Exercisers lost less than three pounds of fat and gained less than two pounds of muscle than a control group.

“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” obesity researcher Eric Ravussin.  So don’t give up on improving your diet just yet.

Myth: Detox diets are a great way to lose weight

Fact: 

Although it’s possible to lose some weight on detox diets that are very low in calories, you’ll have to pay the price: not only do you lose muscle in the process, you’ll also likely regain much of the weight—both because much of what is lost is water weight, and because your metabolism slows down in response to drastic changes.

Detox diets, which often include juice cleanses, fasting and supplements, are not rooted in science. “These fad diet detox plans are nothing more than a quick fix and not recommended for weight loss by registered dietitians,” registered dietitian Connie Diekman.

 

And although detox diets claim to rid the body of harmful substances, the human body is capable of doing that on its own. “Your body is designed to remove toxins efficiently with organs such as the kidneys, liver, and colon,” Dr. Fred Sacks told WebMD. “You don’t need detox diets, pills, or potions to help your body do its job,” he added.

Myth: Counting calories isn’t as important as portion control

Fact: 

Reducing portion size is a good way to cut calories, but can leave you feeling hungry at the end of your meal. Choosing low-calorie options--and feeling satiated at the end of your meal—is the best long-term strategy.

“Eating fewer calories doesn’t necessarily mean eating less food,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise. “To be able to cut calories without eating less and feeling hungry, you need to replace some higher calorie foods with those that are lower in calories and fill you up. In general, these foods contain a lot of water and are high in fiber.”

Replacing sugary, high-calorie drinks with water or tea is another option.

Myth: A calorie is a calorie

Fact: 

Eating fewer carbohydrates, and sticking to those which are digested slowly, has been shown to torch more calories than a conventional low-fat diet, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The amounts of calories in all three meal plans studied were the same, but the results were different. Diets with low-glycemic load carbs (which keep blood sugar levels stable) burned more calories than a low-fat diet, and had none of the negative effects associated with a very low-carb diet. Carbs that digest slowly include non-starchy vegetables, whole grains, fresh fruits and nuts.

Myth: Snacking sabotages weight loss

Fact: 

Eating four or more times per day actually lowers the risk of obesity, and eating snacks between meals can help you manage your hunger. Just make sure you’re making smart snack choices. A piece of fruit or a handful of raw veggies is better than candy or donuts.

Myth: Eating at night packs on pounds

Fact: 

Foods have the same calories at night than they do any other time of day, so when you eat isn’t as important as what you eat.

“The problem with late-night snacking is that you might not be eating due to hunger and you could find yourself eating more calories than you had planned,” the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics advises.

Tracking your meals in a food journal is a good way to keep tabs on what you eat at any time of day, and is an effective way to drop the pounds. 

Top 10 Super foods for Women

The Cancer Fighter 

Don't let brussels sprouts' signature scent turn you off. "The smell is a compound called allyl isothiocyanate that causes precancerous cells to self-destruct," Jonny Bowden, PhD, author of 'The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth' says. "It's entirely possible that eating them every few weeks could help greatly reduce the incidence of colon cancer." 

Bonus benefits: These mini-cabbages are packed with fiber and immune-boosting vitamins C and A. 

The "Skinny" Steak 

Red meat has a bad rap. The thing is, it really is good for you. Ideally, go for a cut that is both lean and grass-fed. A recent report from the Union of Concerned Scientists shows that meat from grass-fed cows usually has more conjugated linoleic acid (which has been shown in animal studies to combat cancer) and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than the grain-fed variety. Plus, meat from grass-fed cows is lower in total fat and calories. As long as your serving is a lean cut, such as tenderloin, feel free to make this smart choice two or three time a week.

Bonus benefits: Beef is a great source of protein, iron (a mineral that one in five women are deficient in), and heart-healthy B vitamins. 

The "It" Spice 

Curry may very well be the spice of life: Curcumin, the antioxidant that gives the condiment its color, has been shown to halt tumor growth and destroy cancer cells in lab tests. "Our research revealed that this ingredient may help prevent a variety of diseases, including multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers," says Bharat Aggarwal, PhD, a professor of cancer medicine at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. At this point, it's still unclear exactly how much curry you should eat to help avoid disease, Aggarwal says. Experts simply recommend using the spice liberally to reap the rewards. For recipes, check out the book 5 Spices, 50 Dishes, by Ruta Kahate. 

Bonus benefits: The antioxidants found in curry may also help break up plaques in the brain that cause Alzheimer's disease, say UCLA scientists. 

The Next Nut 

Pistachios are the new health nut. Why is that? New research from the University of Toronto shows that they may reduce the risk of diabetes by decreasing the effect of carbs on blood sugar levels. "Pistachios are high in protein, fiber, and healthy monounsaturated fat," explains study author Cyril Kendall, PhD, "all of which contribute to the slowing of carbohydrate absorption in the body." 

Bonus benefits: Other recent research has shown that eating two to three ounces of pistachios a day can help significantly raise your level of good cholesterol (HDL). Pistachios are full of vitamin B6 and copper, too, which help increase energy. 

The Java Junkie's Dream 

Rejoice! Your morning cup of joe is healthy. Experts on an American Society for Nutrition panel recently concluded that drinking three to five eight-ounce cups a day lowers your risk of Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, and colon and liver cancers. "Among other things, the antioxidants in coffee protect your cells and DNA from damage," Bowden says. "Coffee seems to increase antioxidants in the blood, too." 

Bonus benefits: Women who drink at least six cups a day are less likely to develop high blood pressure, revealed a 2005 study by Harvard scientists. 

The Heart-Smart Whole Grain 

One of the easiest ways to significantly lower your cholesterol is to eat whole-grain oatmeal daily, reports a British review of 10 studies. The fiber in oatmeal forms a gel that slows down your body's absorption of cholesterol. 

Bonus benefits: "People who eat oatmeal for breakfast tend to stay full all morning and consume less at lunch, due in part to the protein and fiber," says Dave Grotto, RD, a nutritionist in Chicago and a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.

The Fit Fish 

"Shrimp is about 90 calories per three-ounce serving, it has virtually no fat, and it's packed with protein, making it the ultimate diet food," says Ellie Krieger, RD, host of the Food Network's Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger. It may even help prevent heart disease, thanks to astaxanthin, the antioxidant that gives the shellfish its red tint. "People shy away from shrimp because it's high in cholesterol, but cholesterol in food is much less likely to raise your blood cholesterol than, say, trans fat," says Kathy McManus, RD, a FITNESS advisory board member and director of the department of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Moreover, eating about a cup of shrimp daily can raise your good cholesterol level, found a Rockefeller University study. 

Bonus benefits: Shrimp is also rich in cancer-fighting selenium and bone-building vitamin D. 

The Sweet Surprise 

Enjoying a small amount of flavonoid-filled dark chocolate may prevent clogged arteries and reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Also, eating up to 3.6 ounces daily can be as effective as beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors at lowering blood pressure, notes a recent Archives of Internal Medicine study. 

Bonus benefits: Studies have shown that eating chocolate releases serotonin, the feel-better brain chemical. 

The Red Wonder 

Take two tart cherries and call me in the morning. While your doc may not say that yet, she might soon: A new animal study from University of Michigan shows that consuming a powdered version of tart cherries can lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, as well as decrease the body's ability to store fat in the liver. It's not yet known if cherry-rich diets will have a similar effect on people, but University of Michigan researchers are hopeful. 

Bonus benefits: People who exercised and drank two 12-ounce glasses of tart cherry juice daily for eight days reported less muscle pain than those who sipped a placebo, finds a 2006 study. 

The Trendy Tomato 

Red tomatoes are full of lycopene, a substance that helps lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, and macular degeneration. But orange tomatoes offer two and a half times more. Apparently, they contain a form that the body can more easily absorb. 

Bonus benefits: One cup of orange tomatoes provides 338 percent of the RDA for vitamin A. 

Anti-age spot mask

1 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation for anti-age spot mask

 

1. Blend all ingredients together thoroughly to form a paste.

2. Massage into age spots on your hands (it might be too drying for facial age spots).

3. Leave in place for 20 minutes or so, and then rinse with water. 

Use weekly.

Foods to spice up your sex life

When things become a little blue in the bedroom, most people resort to cosmetic fixes and miracle pills, being sorely oblivious to Nature’s bounty overflowing with natural cures for low libido. The following listed foods will help you rule the bedroom, in every possible way.

1.      Pumpkin Seeds

Do you hate pumpkins? If you do, then you will have to find a way to love the little mean seeds insides, because they are essential to unleash your inner beast in the boudoir. Insanely replete with zinc and essential oils, these seeds are your one-way ticket to a raging sex life. The nutrients contained within, aid in boosting testosterone and sperm production, blowing your libido to orgasmic heights.

Not only do they boost testosterone production but also aid in delaying the climax, so that the fun need not end soon. Equipped with nutrients to stabilise mood and stamina, Goji Berries are extremely important for your sex life.

4.      Bananas

 The banana has been long mocked for its penile shape. The fact that it delivers much more than it looks is under-appreciated by most.

The sugar content is a careful balance of complex and simple sugars that provide you with enough energy to last all night.

5.      Celery

How to Deal with Change at Work

The professional sphere is nothing short of a jungle. In this race, the average employee feels victimized at the prospect of change to survive the ‘wildernesses.’ The following list shall be a shining beacon, to those who seek help in dealing with these changes at their workplace.

1.      Improvement is The Motto for Survival

As an employee, you need to understand that even without a dramatic change, a good business will always be credited for its periodical improvement. If it does not improve upon its resources, it will run the risk of stagnation. So you should be prepared to accept changes that facilitate such improvements.

2.      Change is Inevitable

Change is the only acceptable constant in life. The only thing constant about change is that no two circumstances will ever stay the same. This rule applies to the workplace as well. An organization must undergo a revival process for it to be able to adapt to more contemporary situations. Along with the evolution of the individual, the evolution of the working sphere is also mandatory.

3.      Consider Your Standing

You should evaluate your personal feelings on the kind of change that is taking place. Do the changing ethics make you feel out of place? Do you think you will be able to adapt to these changes? An individual seeks employment from an organization because he feels certain likelihood with the organization’s functioning strategy. When you feel that the changing ethics no longer serve your work ideals, you can decide to leave. However, if your weariness results from the mere discomfort of change, then it is suggested that you give it some time and learn to adapt.

4.      See Beyond the Change

Change can be unsettling, but try and adopt a positive attitude towards it. What is unsettling now might prove to be a worthwhile challenge later. Change is merely opportunity in disguise and ignoring it would be a loss on your part.

5.      Learn and Unlearn

Changing values in the workplace demand that, as an employee, you unlearn the old strategies and enthusiastically adopt the new ones. Sometimes the fear of change makes employees focus more on the perceived meanings rather than the implied ones. Instead of fretting, you should research newer methods of productivity and be a hands-on member in this drive for change. Applying your knowledge and experience to a new set of guidelines might propel the organization to new achievements. Increased productivity in the workplace will only prove beneficial to your overall working experience. One should pay heed to update themselves with the current trends marking the industry. With this list in hand, one can expect to brave any professional hardship that might come their way and smoothly sail ahead of the curve.

How to Handle Annoying Colleagues

monk, at some point, an annoying colleague who makes your skin crawl and makes you grind your teeth in utter disgust is likely to break your threshold of patience. You might reason that after a certain point, such an outburst is justified but at workplaces, such things can prove damaging for your professional life. Here, are a few tips to handle irritating office colleagues in a manner that puts you at ease and neutralizes chances of your emotional eruptions:

She’s a Blink & Miss Type

Her ability to complete work within deadlines despite being perpetually absent from her desk would even embarrass Houdini. It is not magic really but women are expert at manipulating folks around them and getting their work done, using the stolen time for chatting on the phone or just idling away with a cup of coffee.

Don’t accept her callousness. Next time, there is a team meeting, ensure that you bring up the topic of individual breaks being recorded / managed in some way. Clearly state that you have seen some folks take undue advantage of the management’s liberties. Even if your boss is a habitual break-seeker, he cannot refuse a matter that involves actual, employee work time being wasted.

Yes, He Procrastinates

On some people, talking about deadlines is just wasted. They couldn’t care less about the world around them, including their office colleagues, which includes You. Here, you have to be a bit proactive. Take the initiative in setting-up reminders across all forms of supplies available to you. This can include paste-it desk slips, SMS, reminder calls, reminder emails and using any other form of office communication. Nag him to the extent that not doing your work feels like being constipated for days—if he won’t get “it” done, doing anything else would be uneasy.

She’s Too Polite but she does not Work

Some people have mastered the art of seeming so polite; it seems as if saying ‘No’ to them or not abiding by their opinions is equal to saying ‘No’ to World Peace! Women tend to do this a lot, smiling and cajoling you into unwanted situations, leaving you biting your nail later when you realize how misguiding her smile was.

Use her weapon, against her. Be overtly gracious to her, even when arguing your point. Put-on that plastic smile that Miss World contestants do so impeccably, even when you vehemently dump her perspective in front of everybody. Keep reminding her of the things she hasn’t done without a hint of anger. Feeling that her own wonder drug is being used on her is sure to make her suffer.

He Interrupts You

Folks who have an obsession towards interrupting others can be found in nearly every workplace.  Yes, such irksome habits can make you literally feel like banging his head against the wall—don’t do it, instead play his game, against him. For a week or two, ensure that you don’t leave any opportunity of interrupting your perennial intruder. Do this with the kind of regularity that would even put him to shame. If he dares to question your behavior, you have won the moment—just tell him that this is exactly how he irritates you and everybody else.

5 Organ become Gateway Diseases

There are five organs which often is the entrance of disease. There is a good start to clean up more seriously the organs and then transmit the clean habits to children.

Respiratory Tract

Organ called the most open since the two nostrils is like a window, where the inhaled air circulation. Germs or bacteria often infiltrate through the respiratory tract. Why are we not sick when germs visit every day? Because we have the power and an automatic mechanism that can remove germs without ill first. For example, coughing or sneezing. In the physical defense system, both of which are front-line defense against infection,

Alimentary tract

Germs or bacteria enter the digestive tract by feeding activity. There are several factors that cause these channels to the gate of the disease.

First, hand hygiene. Even clean hands, contaminated food can make us sick. Or through the intermediary of animals such as flies and cockroaches.

So, to protect this condition does not happen, the classical solution is washing your hands the right way. Wash hands with clean running water, using soap and rub hands until frothy evenly in the palm of the hand, also rubbing between your fingers, one by one. The other part that is often missed, back of your hands. Rub back of hands and then wipe evenly between the nails one by one. Finally, rinse your hands with clean running water then dry with a clean towel or tissue.

Skin

Certain animals can penetrate the body through the skin. Worms for example, infiltrating through the nail and the skin or swallowed while eating. Another part that should be anticipated, the urinary tract. Germs or bacteria can enter through the urinary tract and trigger inflammation.

Women are more vulnerable to urinary tract. In the female organs, fluids from bag urine out through one channel, namely the urethra. Short, straight shape with the width of the hole. Germs easily enter if you clean reckless, hold pee or wash the vital organ with a lack of clean water.

Diseases that can arise include inflammation of the bladder and pyelonephritis (kidney infection). If this happens, the bacteria seemed to find the gate to contaminate the blood.

Ear

Ear, the organ is quite susceptible to germs. Because the infection of the eardrum can occur from two directions. From the outside through the dirt to enter. Actually, the ear can protect themselves from outside attacks because it has the tympanic membrane. This membrane can leak due to trauma caused by being hit or slapped by the person, or ear probe too deeply.

If you dig too deep, could tear the eardrum. This gap for germs to infect the mastoid bone and then get to the meninges (lining of the brain). As a result, meningitis (inflammation of the membranes that cover the central nervous system). In children, the leakage would occur from the inside due to bacterial infection. Cause infection and pus will push the membrane so busted.

Tooth

A hole in the teeth allows bacteria into the blood vessels beneath the array of teeth. Found two cases of tooth germs enter through the hole and then ventured into some channel which empties into the heart. It's called heart disease pericarditis. Very dangerous because it takes more antibiotic substances. People with this disease can be friends with antibiotics for up to three weeks.

You are advised to study the organs that could potentially be a gateway of germs or bacteria to protect you and your family.

You do not Love Your Work

Love the work that you struggled not only bring relief to the heart through a number of routines, but also eager to make your day. If you do not feel it, it means you do not love the work undertaken at this time.

Love the occupied profession can be seen from the way you live your job. If you do not enjoy it, it means you do not love the profession today.

Enjoy and love the job is an important thing to do. Therefore, you may feel miserable if you do not like it. If you want to detect it, here's some of the signal can be characterized by the following signals

Hard to get up early

The signs do not like the job, which you are very lazy to get up early. Although the alarm was ringing three times, but you still did not move. If this happens, admit that you do not want to start a new day. It shows that you are not happy with the job they have.

Do not get along with coworkers

Each person will always excite when first time working. Moreover, in a pleasant working environment and have a colleague who can help each other. Coworkers may be the reason for the spirit to go to work. But if you do not have any friends in the office, not hang out for reasons feel not comfortable around them all, this indicates that you are not able to mingle with them so that activity in the office also feel heavy and dull.

Do not want to take a new job

The ideal job is when we do what we love. Indeed, not everyone is so lucky. But, if you love your current job, then you will perform daily activities in the office without feeling heavy. However, if you begin to feel forced or even hate to do the work in the office and to make excuses for not taking a given task, think whether this is a job that matches your dreams? If not, you'd better move-on in other places

Could not complete the task on time

Although very competent, intelligent, you still have to complete tasks in a timely manner. If not, you will definitely work overtime. It's all done when you love what acted. However, if you really mean is not able to finish all the work is given, then do not torture yourself to keep working on it. Because, it will bring a burden for you. Immediately think to look for jobs that match your interests.

Not serious

All you do in office is doing most of the things that are not associated with the work, hanging out, chatting with colleagues, and not even doing anything. This indicates you are not serious with your current job.

Always protest

If the protest is always with the tasks given, we can be sure you did not fully do the work by heart. Maybe you feel the weight through it.

No matter if fired

If still looking for signs that you do not like the job now, seems should look at yourself today. For example, in the dress you are not in accordance with rules adopted by the office, take an extra holiday, often sneaking out early, you probably do not even care if you get fired. In the world of work, it becomes a big problem. You should focus on finding the best which is best until you really get your desired situation.

Shampoo softens the soles of the feet

The benefits of a shampoo that has not been widely known, but powerful enough is to ward off the rough skin of the foot.

Shampoo was not only serves to clean the hair from dust and dirt. But also a potent skin becomes softer feet.

This one benefit has not been widely known, but powerful enough to ward off the rough skin of the foot.

Bad Habits and How Much You Can Do

As a man, you might have some bad habits. Bad habits that we do not mean to smuggle or steal money from local businesses with the threat, but only to the extent the habit of smoking or doing something on a reasonable limit.

You also may be a caffeine addict, or maybe you are one of those people who think that sleep is a waste of time and should be spent more productively.

Whatever it is, we must have one or more bad habits. Therefore, the following is a reminder to determine how much you can indulge yourself without having to destroy the body and mind.

Seasonal smokers

We've all heard of someone who claims that he is a 'social smoker or smoke only in certain situations'. Maybe you also call themselves as such. Smokers seasonal mean you just enjoy smoking in certain times, such as in nightclubs or when the vacation (and satisfaction after smoking is certainly a satisfaction because people see).

And a smokers seasonal or because of the condition is another word for healthy smokers. If there are seven days a week, smoked a few sticks in a day or two will not damage your health. These habits are in control, and not an addiction.

The bad news, no smoking is not harmful to health. There is no safe limit of consumption of cigarettes.

According to a recent report from U.S. Surgeon General ', a cigarette can even trigger the risk of heart attack or stroke, and research in 2009 showed that a cigarette can stretch the artery at the age of 18-30 years to 25%.

In other words, if you do not need to smoke during the week, stop smoking on the weekends is an easy and quick way to maintain your health.

Another glass before going home?

So if you do not smoke at all, at least you can drink, right? Actually, yes. Advocacy, a safe limit for drinking is three to four shots per day.

The problem is equivalent to four shots with two regular size glasses of beer. It was not a problem for your regular drinking after work but very unlikely if you want to spend one full night. So, if you are going to not exceed the limit while not harmful to health?

Many experts, including specialists from the UK Alcohol Health Alliance, assume that some people are able to restrict. They said that you should at least have two or three alcohol free days a week. But they also say that the old advice about the limits of 21 shots in a week is better than the recommended daily limits of the new. So you can enjoy more in a drink without feeling guilty, as long as you do not eat half a cup 10 in a half weeks.

Enjoy coffee

Prohibited from smoking and drinking will make you stress, but most people still need something to accompany them through the day. And it is coffee.

People with high blood pressure and pregnant women are advised to limit consumption of caffeine, but most of us can consume as much coffee as we want, right?

Less is more like it. There is no evidence to suggest that long-term effect of coffee. However, some experts still recommend that limit consumption of caffeine is 300 mg per day and is comparable to three cups of coffee. Consuming more than the dose perhaps can cause you have trouble of sleeping. For some people will cause anxiety.

But there is no official guidance, because everyone is different sensitivity levels. Set limits on your own, but if you keep three glasses per day limit it will be better.

Gambling?

No doubt, it's fun to gamble, whether it's used to playing poker with your peers or professional gambling.

And that's fine, if you obey the rules of the most effectual. Start with the number that makes you not feel lost if you lose, and do not gamble with more money, no matter how confident you win, you still might lose. Stay away from games to bet large amounts that can make you lose a lot quickly. Stop when you are lucky, or you will lose at all.

Reasonable gamble will make your evening enjoyable. But otherwise if you had from the outset is not ready to lose or you want to win money for something important like to pay the rent.

Pamper yourself wisely, but if gambling makes you unhappy or anxious, better stay away from it.

Sleepless nights

Men are the people who rarely ever sleep at night. We can only examine what are the things that should have been done weeks ago.

Rarely slept at a given time will not cause long-term effects, but may make you unproductive. If you do not sleep, you have to do any activity that would not go well, be it works exams or even a date.

And do not forget, sleep is the most evil tormentor. After several days without sleep you will walk unsteadily like a zombie. After a few weeks, you may die.

Of course, it is not likely to happen to you. But sleep is essential for mental, balance, healing, memory and preventing depression and anxiety. Even the fact that can not be explained, that people who rarely sleep will be obese.

Scientific research shows that seven hours (instead of eight) is the most appropriate duration for most people, and if you are busy, satisfy yourself by sleeping in the next week is a good idea.

What is blood pressure?

A number of facts about blood pressure

You may not know much about blood pressure. Your father or grandfather may have had problems with blood pressure, but they have entered middle age. High blood pressure (better known as hypertension) is a disease of the elderly.

High blood pressure has never been found in people in their 20s, but it now appears the case is different from before. Is not uncommon for men in the age of 30 have high blood pressure.

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure, as expected, is pumping the blood vessel walls. If too high, its can damage the arteries and even heart.

Men who suffer from high blood pressure more than the women who suffer from high blood pressure and more frequent in younger age. Overall, the BPA (Blood Pressure Association) says that one in three adults in the UK has high blood pressure and one of them did not know that they have it.

But the situation could be worse than that. According to a recent survey by Lloyds Pharmacy, feared 35% of those aged 16-34 have hypertension, and one of 20 people showed blood pressure of severe or very severe. Experts place the highest results in people who like to consume alcohol and poor diet.

How do you know your blood have high pressure?

High blood pressure is a major cause of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney disease. Obviously it is a cause of health problems, and as said, usually you do not feel symptoms until damage occurs. That is why the disease is referred to as 'hidden killer'.

"Approximately 62 000 deaths from stroke and heart attacks occur because of poor blood pressure,"

Of course if you were 30, you may not be at risk of heart attack. But you can just keep it and develop a lifestyle that causes the rise in blood pressure during the next few years.

There are other things that need attention. Based on research specialist at the University of Athens Greece, men with high blood pressure, two and a half times more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction rather than men with normal blood pressure.

Salt is a major factor in high blood pressure so less salt in cooking. But the real culprits i.e. fast food, eating out and take-away food, and processed foods.

All food until breakfast cereals found high levels of salt, so it's wise to check the salt content before buying it.

Some doctors say that anger can lead to high blood pressure, particularly hidden anger. If you often feel angry, but hide your anger, you have a risk for high blood pressure.

So, if you feel frustrated on a weekday, go treadmill or take a roll and beat boxing in the garage, it is more healthful.

Low blood pressure
