During my school days my teacher would always catch one of my classmates sleeping during lecture. I kid you not, and I know you have fond memories that are alike. Sleep is important, it recharges the body with needed "idle" time. Muscles flex and contract the whole day and they just need to be put into "neutral" position. When the body says you need a shut-eye, it is hard to resist. To avoid embarrassment of being caught sleeping at inappropriate times follow these suggestions:
- set a schedule
- exercise
- avoid ...
In Dreamland, you can bid your fats goodbye
Apr 18 2008
Posted by Jay as Featured Articles, Health Features
Sleeping Beauty must have been a shapeless, ordinary-looking fat woman before she took off for her legendary trip to Dreamlandia.
But when she woke up after almost an eternity of sleep, ah … most of her fats were gone and her beauty awoken as well!
This new version of Sleeping Beauty would in all likelihood get the support of a group of researchers in France who found out recently that extra hours of sleep at night could be the key to shedding excess weight and fighting obesity.
"More sleep could be the ideal way of stabilizing weight or slimming," said neuro-scientist ...
Americans & Europeans admit that homeland health care is just not right. It's so expensive to have a needed heart bypass for instance, let alone any organ transplants, they'r just our ot reach.
Take the case of James Payne for instance. Chicago Tribune reports, in their lifestyle and health section, that when he found out that he needed a liver transplant, he first tried to arrange the surgery at a top hospital in South Florida. Doctors there told him that they couldn't schedule the procedure for a few months (!) and that he needed $450,000 because ...
You've worked hard, lived hard, played hard, loved hard & ran the marathon in bright successful colors. By the time you pause and wonder what you have through the years, you'd see an old old buddy needing, IF NOT, wanting your attention. That's your body!
By this time, your body is about to put you ON HOLD. And chances are you may not enjoy the victory of a long life.
Spas tend to be classed in two extreme ways - either cheap and cheerful (and you can think of the eerie hole-in-the-wall outlets in malls or as an ...
Y el ganador en el Señorita concurso Gordo del Universo es... ¡Pierda México!
I hope the translation in Freetranslation.com is right. It should mean: And the runnerup in the Miss World Fatso contest is … Miss Mexico!
Yes, yes, yes. Mexico has become the second fattest nation in the world, next only to Fat Old America. Mexican health officials say their country could even surpass the U.S. as the most obese nation in the world within 10 years if Mexicans continue eating fried pork chips, a favorite over there.
The latest surveys showed that more than 71 percent of Mexican women ...
For the life of me, I couldn’t understand even a whit how some people would love to destroy their own faces by going to a dermaclinic in a vain effort to removes their wrinkles through Botox injection. This is definitely one of life’s many incomprehensibles.
Now there’s a recent warning from the Food and Drug Administration that those who have undergone Botox treatment stand a good chance not only of looking like Michael Jackson or the Predator (remember the alien monster?) but also of suffering from muscle spasms that have led to death in some cases.
Botox is best known ...
Wanna live past 100 years? Wanna see yourself in the eyes of the grandchild of your grandchild? Wanna see how science and technology would have evolved 70 or 80 years from now? Wanna see pictures of human colonies on Mars and expeditions to distant planets? Wanna see how the cell phone or the television or the Internet would have evolved by that time?
If only for that last one, I’m quite sure many of us would like to live past our centenary.
Now, the good news: It’s not that hard to live long, and I mean really loooong. Two new ...
Having a hard time catching those zzz’s at bedtime? Counting sheep doesn’t work? What about rats? It's the Year of the Rat anyway.
Still can't sleep like a baby? You may have a problem, but whatever it is, don’t play doc and try to take meds on your own, even if the meds are over-the-counter drugs.
Of course you don’t want to become an Anna Nicole Smith, or a Heath Ledger, do you?
Those two big-time celebs were victims of drug overdose.
Smith, a top American model, died on Feb. 8, 2007 after taking an assortment of drugs, including Methadone for pain ...
If pressure on the job or at home or in your relationship is starting to give you headache, don’t underestimate it.
You better find a way to relieve the stress building up in your head. Or it could explode big time. This could be what happened to actor Heath Ledger who died last Tuesday of a seeming drug overdose.
A long-running British study released yesterday, Jan. 23, said work, or too much of it, can be a killer. The study provided the strongest evidence yet of how on-the-job stress raises the risk of heart disease by disrupting the body's internal ...

The “Blade Runner”
Wonderful news from CNN…
South African Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee, just won the right to be eligable to compete at this summer’s Olympic Games in Beijing after sport’s highest court backed his appeal against a ban imposed by athletics authorities.
Judging by the photo above, you’d see nothing but determination… running through his life. He’s been […]-

Water me please
This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80’s singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn’t care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the “girls” so […] -

The devil made Miley do it
If you’re wondering why sexual perversions are happening left and right, front and back and every which way in the world today, why we have such a hideous sexual predator as Austria’s Josef Fritzl, one of the clues is staring at you right now.
Well, it’s not Miley Cyrus’ fault. Definitely not. This 15-year Disney megastar […] -

A Humble City
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th […]

Praise as good as cash, really
Want to go on a shopping splurge without paying even a single cent?
You can try this: Print a copy of the Yahoo news page linked in this blog. Now, go to the mall, shop till you drop, and then go to the cashier. Tell the cashier, “You take my breath away with your beauty.” As […]From the Editor
Your bucket list
Has been quite some time since my last movie out. I’ve always wanted to see The Bucket List too. Is the film really good? There are some Jack Nicholson movies that I skipped because reviews weren’t really great. I’d make The Bucket List an exception BUT hey, if some of you would say it’s not […]
