dog bite 300x261 Dog Bite TreatmentDog bite treatment should be required knowledge for anyone that lives around dogs. Many people believe that most dog bites occur away from home, by a dog not familiar to the person bitten. This is just not the case. Most experts agree that about half of all dog bites are from a dog that the person bitten is familiar with – perhaps the family dog or a dog that belongs to the next-door neighbor.

An interesting report called “Fatal Dog Attacks, 1989-1994″ states that only about 22% of “dog bite fatalities” involved an unrestrained dog off the owner’s property. This flies in the face of popular beliefs.

Tips To Help You Stop Smoking

Posted by on Monday, 2 November, 2009 Comments Off

stop smoking 200x300 Tips To Help You Stop SmokingStopping smoking is not easy. Below are some tips which may help you to quit smoking.

Write a list of the reasons why you want to stop, and keep them with you. Refer to them when tempted to light up. You may wish to read a separate leaflet in this series called ‘Smoking – The Facts‘. This gives the reasons why smoking is so harmful and lists the benefits of stopping.

Set a date for stopping, and stop completely. (Some people prefer the idea of cutting down gradually. However, research has shown that if you smoke less cigarettes than usual, you are likely to smoke more of each cigarette, and nicotine levels remain nearly the same. Therefore, it is usually best to stop once and for all from a set date.)

Tell everyone that you are giving up smoking. Friends and family often give support and may help you. Smoking by others in the household makes giving up harder. If appropriate, try to get other household members who smoke, or friends who smoke, to stop smoking at the same time. A ‘team’ effort may be easier than going it alone.

Get rid of ashtrays, lighters, and all cigarettes.

Be prepared for some withdrawal symptoms. When you stop smoking, you are likely to get symptoms which may include: nausea (feeling sick), headaches, anxiety, irritability, craving, and just feeling awful. These symptoms are caused by the lack of nicotine that your body has been used to. They tend to peak after 12-24 hours, and then gradually ease over 2-4 weeks.

Natural Weight Loss

Breakfast 207x300 Natural Weight LossWhen embarking on a natural weight loss program, these 5 diet tips are fundamental for achieving success.

1. Eat breakfast every day.

The Weight Control Registry, which tracks more than 5000 people who have lost 30 pounds and kept them off for at least a year, shows that most who experience natural weight loss make the time to fuel the body up every morning. Diet tips regarding breakfast are plentiful because this is something that works. Studies indicate that people who eat breakfast are less likely to overeat later in the day. Natural weight loss occurs as the body adjusts to more calories in the morning and fewer calories afterward. So, making time for breakfast is one of the most fundamental diet tips for success.

2. Start with soup, salad or fruit.

These foods are essential for natural weight loss because they are filled with water and fiber. Diet tips like this can be difficult to follow, but worthwhile. A study from Penn State University found that people who used two 10 ½ ounce servings of broth based soup each day for a year, lost 50 % more weight than those who consumed the same number of calories from healthy snacks. There is no end to the number of diet tips regarding the importance of fiber for natural weight loss. Rachel Brandeis, R.D., of Atlanta, tells us that eating 3 cups of green salad with fat-free dressing cut the number of calories people consumed at a meal by 12%.

Colds Recovery

cold 300x205 Colds RecoveryDitch the antibiotics: By all means consult your doctor if the cold is associated with another infection, but don’t go thinking they can hand out cure-all pills. Colds are viruses and antibiotics don’t work on viruses.

Get as much rest as you can: If you only have a cold, and not flu, it’s unlikely that you’ll get away with cancelling everything and curling up in bed for the week. Even so, the more rest you can afford yourself the quicker your recovery should be. Sleep is your body’s downtime, after all, and it uses this opportunity to run system checks and make essential repairs.
