Keep Your Workplace Clean

December 14, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The fact is that well designed, comfortable and clean workplace is not the least of the factors in everyday life. We live, we work and it’s no wonder that sometimes some of us have the risk to be in danger of illness with using the same computers, printers, copiers, and telephones every day many people use. There are great numbers of diseases that can be caught just at work if you’re not careful enough. And it’s especially seriously today when various viruses threat to human health.

There are certain rules everyone know and must keep to prevent the spreading of infections in the workplace. It’s first of all such good health habit as washing your hands every time before handling food and after using the bathroom. You should keep keyboards, phones and other items you share with others clean. The fact is each employee, especially if they use public transportation, can carry germs to your own office and leave them on everything they touch. Therefore besides regular cleanings it’s worth using special office cleaning services which helps you to protect your company’s assets by keeping your office clean: your employees – healthy and the productivity of your business – up.

As to me I just enjoy the cleaning up – something about the getting of things in order for winter – making the garden secure – a battening down of hatches perhaps… It just feels right:-)

Winter Blues

December 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that there is time in year when you can feel yourself not so comfortable. First of all I mean cool season of course, when the sun is hidden, days become shorter, the nights get colderand the pale complexions of some of your friends can remind you: it’s ‘winter blues’:-) Well, it’s the time you had better take your vitamins, something like Omega-3 that helps you not only to keep your immune system up through all cold months but definitely be bursting with energy at any time of season. No doubt that taking vitamins is the way you can keep your health up having positive effects on both your physical and emotional state.

So all you can do to for your health during winter is to get lots vitamins especially vitamin D, known also as a “sunshine vitamin” and seen now as one of the most critical nutrients for overall health, get exercise on a regular basis and think positive thoughts of course that is also very important thing in our lives. In case that doesn’t work you may need to consult maryland psychologist or your family doctor. Eat right, get lots of sleep and take care of your mind and body–feed your body what it needs and take care of yourself inside and out. Dont forget about real phisical exercise in case you have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting:-) Exercise: you don’t have time not to!

What Is Hydrogen Peroxide

December 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Perhaps most of you have heard about hydrogen peroxide. What is this? Right now I’ve read that hydrogen peroxide is good remedy for bad breath caused by bacteria and germs in the mouth. Peroxide can kill those germs and bacteria and is especially effective because it can rinse away areas you might miss with your toothbrush, such as between the teeth or in the back of the mouth. Sartrting to look for more information about Hydrogen Peroxide I found a lot of books and other publications dedicated this theme.

For instance the book, titled Hydrogen Peroxide Medical Miracle by William Campbell Douglass, MD (2003)

‘Doctor J.S. Haldone reported in 1919 that oxygen dissolved in the blood would probably be a good way to combat infection. (Remember that in those days infection was it. If you didn’t get stomped to death by a horse, you would most likely die of infection. Cancer was not a scourge and cardiovascular disease had not been invented yet.)
Hydrogen peroxide will put extra oxygen in your blood. There’s no doubt about that. But prevailing expert opinion is that it has no value. The red cells must transport oxygen for effective oxygen delivery, they tell us. But this is manifestly untrue. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, for instance, where oxygen is forced into the blood under pressure, can be lifesaving in carbon monoxide poisoning, cyanide poisoning, and smoke Inhalation. But pushing oxygen into the blood by using pressure is an expensive business. A hyperbaric oxygen unit costs about $100,000. Hydrogen peroxide costs pennies. So if you can get oxygen into the blood cheaply and safely, maybe cancer (which doesn’t like oxygen), emphysema, AIDS, and many other terrible diseases can be treated effectively.

Intravenous hydrogen peroxide rapidly relieves allergic reactions, Influenza symptoms, and acute viral Infections. These effects are thought to be due to the oxidation of the various foreign substances in the blood.

Tumor cells, bacteria, and other unwanted foreign elements in the blood can usually be destroyed with hydrogen peroxide treatment. Peroxide has a definite destructive effect on tumors, and, in fact, cancer therapy may prove to be the most dramatic and useful place for peroxide therapy.

No one expects to live forever. But we would all like to have a George Burns finish. The prospect of finishing life in a nursing home after abandoning your tricycle in the mobile home park Is not appealing. Then comes the loss of control of vital functions – the ultimate humiliation. Is life supposed to be from tricycle to tricycle and diaper to diaper? You come into this world crying, but do you have to leave crying? I don’t believe you do. And you won’t either after you see the evidence.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Read on and
decide for yourself.’
William Campbell Douglass, M.D.

It’s Interesting

Medicine and Stanford Hospital and Clinics researchers discovered the beneficial effects of probiotics on enhance of weight-loss programs.

What os probiotic? This is food that contains live bacteria, which is considered beneficial and not harmful to humans. The first example of probiotic food was the introduction of acidophilus to milk, which in some cases helped people who had difficulty digesting milk to be able to tolerate milk better. The specific bacteria used in probiotic food like acidophilus milk is Lactobacillus acidophilus. Such milk was available in the 1920s, and yogurt predates it, but was not specifically supplemented for probiotic effects. How does bacteria look? I guess something like this:-)

Most probiotic food is fermented at least partially. A short list of probiotic food choices includes miso soup, some soft cheeses, yogurt products like kefir, sauerkraut and many pickles. Those who feel probiotic food is beneficial are now also interested in prebiotic food. It does not generally contain bacteria but appears to help healthy bacteria grow in the intestines. Prebiotic foods include Jerusalem and regular artichokes, oats, honey, many fruits, and goat’s milk. Human breast milk is also thought to have prebiotic properties that may explain why it so benefits the human newborn.

Many people add probiotic bacteria to their food or take it in capsule form. However, it is unclear how well probiotic bacteria work. Lactobacillus GG, one of the newest probiotics, has shown that it can survive processing by the gut and be especially beneficial to the colon. Not all probiotics have shown evidence that they promote better intestinal health. Some studies do show that eating yogurt during antibiotic treatment may help prevent diarrhea, and is beneficial in reducing risk of yeast infections in women.
