Gout Remedies

Rehydrate Often

One of my hobbies is science and I have been experimenting with natural remedies to relieve some of my illnesses. Since I have been living below the poverty level my whole life and see no end in sight, it is more than necessary to diagnose my own ills and treat them the best I can.

Dehydration is a big problem for me and moisturisers are a necessity. (Look at me with all the big words pouring out.) I prefer to use moisturising wipes that are antibacterial and fragrance free if I can find them, but rubbing alcohol and a wash cloth can make a good substitute if needed.

Also I have a caffeine addiction that causes a lot of grief as caffeine dehydrates and I have to rehydrate after it wears off. Refilling a pop bottle with clean water and chilling it can help relieve the thirst that follows a caffeine crash and the Charley horse that usually follows a night of work in a hot store. One twenty ounce bottle of water after work can keep me from having to walk in the house with a cane in the morning.  

Water is best for rehydration of course but can be hard to drink if not chilled, so I sometimes add those little Mio flavors (or an equivalent) to it or just buy the flavored water. (I prefer the coconut flavored ones or Black Cherry.) Another good source of hydration is Powerade or Gatorade of course, and these treatments can help replace other important things in the body as well. Also, plus points for sugar fix. While they have sodium in them they are still healthier than soda pop.

Also, if you do not have a pool or spa, be sure to soak in a tub every now and then, this helps to rehydrate the outer layer. Not talking about your daily bath here, just soak up some clean H2O when you get the chance. It is also a great way to cool off in the heat.

The thirst that comes with summer heat or winter winds is always a problem and rehydration is key to a healthy life. Someone once said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and it still applies today.

Until next time, keep it wet.

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR ASTHMA

Asthma is an episodic constriction of the bronchial tubes. It is a common disorder of both children and adults, often regarded as mysterious and frustrating to treat.


The condition is marked by wheezing (especially on expiration), coughing, and difficulty in breathing. Asthma can appear and disappear without warning. If an attack is severe enough, it can kill.

The immediate cause of an asthmatic attack is tightening of the muscular bands that regulate the size of the bronchial tubes. These muscles are controlled by nerves, but what triggers the nerves to make airways constrict inappropriately is not clear. The triggers for asthma can be primarily allergic or primarily emotional or induced by exercise or respiratory infection, or it can occur with no obvious causes. It is now being considered an inflammatory disorder.

The "hygiene hypothesis" is a proposed explanation for why allergies and asthma are now epidemic, especially in developed countries. The hypothesis holds that children who grow up in crowded and dirtier environments are less likely to develop these ailments than youngsters raised in cleaner, more protected environments. The idea is that the developing immune systems of less privileged kids are exposed to lots of germs from an early age and so become stronger and more protective of health. The hypothesis recently got a big boost in credibility. Researchers at Duke University Medical Center compared the antibodies in the blood of laboratory rats and mice, which grow in a virtually germ-free environment, with those of wild rats and mice. All of the wild rodents had higher levels of IgG and IgE, classes of antibodies associated with immune and allergic diseases, but the wild rodents' antibodies did not tend to bind to the rat's own cells, as did the antibodies produced by the hygienically raised rodents. Instead, the wild rodents' antibodies efficiently and effectively attacked invading organisms. The research was written up in the August, 2006, Scandinavian Journal of Immunology.

Despite this intriguing evidence, we need a lot more proof from human studies before the hygiene hypothesis makes the leap from theory to fact, and I wouldn't worry about a home being "too clean." In fact, random pollution of the home environment has its own drawbacks. Children who breathe secondhand smoke are more likely to develop asthma, and among all youngsters with asthma, those who breathe secondhand smoke have more frequent attacks).

Want to lose weight and feel great for 2015?

Want to lose weight for 2015? Here are a few tips I picked up along the journey.

Fighting the battle of the bulge is difficult and stressful. Seems like every time we lose it, it comes back bigger. Starvation or temporary dieting can cause you more misery than glee. Here are a few simple tips that just might help.

Ginseng for energy and drink more WATER. it fills you up and has no calories. Ice cold water is the best, but if you need to, add a little flavor. I like the Mio Energy additives myself. 

 NO SODAS they are very high in calories and especially NO DIET SODAS or artificial sweeteners. 

PROTEIN when you get hungry and try to go for a walk even if its just parking further away from the door. 

Artificial sweeteners will give you more calories than sugar; also meats have steroids to make the cows, pigs and chickens fat. Those steroids make us fat too so cut back. Fish is usually safer. 

Some foods burn calories like apples for instance, and a high fiber diet is helpful. 

When we hit middle age our metabolism slows dowwwwnnnn, and so you need to take vitamins and eat foods that increase your metabolism. L-arginine and vitamin B-12 will increase your metabolism. You should also do a multi-vitamin to help your body function better.   

Hot sauce burns calories and ginger. 

Substitute cinnamon for sugar when you can, and increase your fiber intake with the occasional salad. I like mine with lots of dressing and bacon bits. 

Tapping your feet can burn calories too. 

Water should be ice cold BTW and B-12 supplements will improve your metabolism. 

As for exercise, the wife can help burn calories too, if you know what I mean.   

Take deep breaths to give your body more oxygen and energy so you can move more and burn more calories. 

Temporary diets do not work because they are temporary. A life change is required in our eating habits to lose weight. 

Happy New Year and may all your resolutions come true.  

Raise the wage??? More money or more worries?

A lot of people are jumping up and down and cheering at the thought of raising the wage to ten, and sure, it sounds good, but what are the costs of a  nationwide raise. It probably wont apply to small businesses of course, and it may only apply to full time wage earners anyway, but big business didnt get big by being dumb. Many of you out there know that if a large company has to pay you more, they are going to find the money to do it with the way they always have. Say, a big company called Scrooge and Marley, Inc., was to be forced to give them a 3 dollar raise next month... How would they do it? Well, you see, companies succeed by keeping their overhead low, which means they would have to cut labor costs by hiring less people and laying off some. Also, they would put the workers they have on part time status to cut overhead and improve profit margins. This is inevitable of course, but I write it better from a maybe they wont have to point of view.

Anyway, when all their workers or wage earners as they are also known, are on part time, the company will have more profit, and the share holders like profits a lot. Also, since part time workers are not required to receive certain benefits that full time workers receive, the company will be even more interested in cutting hours and staff size. What will this mean for John and Mary Employee? Well, now that there is less help they will be required to do three times as much work or else. Also, one of the benefits that workers lose is their full time health coverage which part time workers do not get. #passTHEbuck

Of course, with your hours cut you will have more time to spend at home, assuming you still have a home since cost of goods sold and cost of living and gas prices and retail prices will all HAVE to go up to pay for the raise you were jumping up and down about before. Hopefully, paying your mortgage will not be a problem while you are struggling to keep gas in the Caddy.

Then again, they may not cut everyone's hours. Some may still get to work 40 a week, and get the big check, but since inflation has to go up to cover the raise, will they really be making more??? Well, we can always hope and watch and wait.

NEVER GIVE UP THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE!!!!

you know her mama she told her don't worry about her size. 
she said cause, "i just bought life insurance on you last night 
and if you don't get off the couch and exercise 
then i will be rich as hell on the day you die"   

dISTURBING trend in the country. people are giving up and giving in. and the ones who give up are losing. Diabetes and heart attacks are not the goal to shoot for. NEVER GIVE UP THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE. NEVER!!! 

As a soldier in the WAR FOR WELLNESS I can tell you its worth the fight!!!
