7 Tips to STOP Getting Sick

Note: The tips in this article can work anytime of the year to keep you healthy, strengthen your immune system, and prevent you from getting sick…not just in the winter months! First of all, let us clear up a HUGE misconception about why more people get sick in the winter compared to warmer times of the year.  Let's talk about cold temperatures first.  You should realize that there's no such thing as "catching a cold".   I can't believe how many people still have this huge misconception that cold temperatures can make you sick… This is blatantly false… Cold temperatures do NOT make you sick! In fact, did you know that there are multiple studies that actually show that exposure to cold increases your immunity?  It's true!  One study I read recently even showed that cold therapy such as ice water baths or other cold water exposure (such as cold water swimming) stimulates an improvement in your immune system. What about

7 Super-Effective Tips for Losing Stomach Fat & Getting Lean Six Pack Abs for Life

Image
1.  Mike, what is the number one component to getting a six pack? MG: Your training style, nutrition, and mindset are all extremely important if you want to stand a chance at getting a six pack… However, if I had to choose 1 component that is most important, it would probably have to be nutrition. Maybe you've heard the saying before that "abs are made in the kitchen". It really is true, and that's where the majority of people go wrong in the goal to get super lean. Of course, this also ties into mindset, because you really have to get your mind in the right place in order to have the discipline to be able to eat consistently clean enough to get six pack abs. There's a lot of confusion out there these days about calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates … every "expert" disagrees with one another on proper ratios and types of diets.  I think people make this way too complicated… If you are just to focus on a good balance between fats, carbs, a

The Real Cost of Buying a New Computer

So your computer is starting to slow down and you need to look into replacing it? Before you go out and spend hundreds of dollars because you don't think your old rig is up to the speed of things, consider the real cost of upgrading that old machine. The Hardware Many people thing the cost of the hardware is upfront. After all, there is a big sticker price on the machine that tells you what it costs. But, don't forget about the taxes, the rebates, and the warranties that you'll need to pay for. For example, a $500 computer will probably come with an extra $40 in taxes, as well as a $100 warranty to add on to the cost. Additionally, you'll find that many computers on "sale" are going to actually cost you more in cash as you have to take advantage of rebates that need to be mailed in. The Service Most new computers these days are loaded down with a ton of unwanted factoryware and don't even come with the restore discs for your operating system. So

What Makes These Sugarless Snacks Taste Great?

I have to admit that when I heard about snack recipes which featured no sugar I was a little sceptical about how the end product would taste. After all, sugar makes the world go around, or so you might think after spending most of you life scarfing down an endless supply of snack types made with processed sugar. But there is an alternative to the use of sugar in snacks. At least, this is what Carolyn Hansen says in her book . Nature has come up with some nifty alternatives that are actually quite healthy for us, and which can be used to impart all the sweetness you might otherwise miss in the absense of a dose of sugar. Dates turn out to be a good way to naturally sweeten the recipes for snacks and treats that appear in Carolyn's book. Another alternative that most of us are familiar with is honey. Less known is agave nectar, which is also an excellent natural sweetener that appears in many of Carolyn's recipes, including those for tempting cheescake delights that you

Taking Advantage of the Phone Line’s Free Electricity

Each and every day there are minor things which can produce a great change in our lives. There are so many things which can make a difference in the way we live our lives and we do not even realize it. Think about the banal phone line. Would you imagine that apart from helping you stay in touch with the ones you love and solve the problems you have with just a phone call, the phone line can also help you save money? Well, probably not, but this is the plain truth: the phone line can make your life better and diminish the amount of money you have to pay for your electricity bill. Many people are not aware of the fact that there is lots of power passing through the phone line each and every day, so for them the possibility of extracting power from the phone line is like a science fiction film. In fact, this is as real as it could be. Part of your phone bill covers that electricity passing through your lines, so why not take advantage of it if you can? You will only need a simple system

Sore Throat Cure – The Natural Remedies

Image
A sore throat is an infection that could be in the form of bacterial or viral. Both these sore throats have different reasons. Amongst the two the viral is the serious form of sore throat infection. Antibiotics respond well to the bacterial sore throat infections but not with the viral sore throats. That is why the most popular sore throat cure is the natural cure. The first remedy in the list of the natural sore throat cure is the bayberry. A hot decoction of bayberry is best for the sore throat. All you need to do is to gargle with it. This makes your throat infection free. Next remedy for sore throat is the Belleric Myrobalan. This is the best remedy for treating cough. It is commonly known as Behera.

After this the next natural sore throat cure is Betel popularly known as Piper Betel. You need to crush the betel leaves and apply them d

Severe Sinus Infection

Image
Sinus infections, in themselves, are painful. You can very well imagine how painful a severe sinus infection can be. Dealing with such discomforting pain for a few days, or at the most a week or so, is still bearable. But those suffering from such sinus infections bear this pain for anywhere between two to three months or even more. Thus, a severe sinus infection can hamper your routine life due to the symptoms that last for a longer duration. This makes it inevitable to understand and recognize the symptoms of such an infection so as to ensure timely treatment. A severe sinus infection is much the same as an acute infection, the only difference being the duration. In chronic infection, the symptoms last longer than in an acute infection. Also, there is resistance to treatment as the body takes a longer time to respond to the treatment. Some of the common symptoms of such sinus infections include pressure near the eyes and nose accompanied with a pain, a thick discharge from

The Plus Side Of The Shopping Experience

It seems only fitting, say many women, that if a size 14 was the best-selling women's size in 2005, stores should feature more stylish, contemporary clothing for the full-figured customer. That's not what women have found in the past. While department stores carry a vast range of brands, many plus-size women feel these departments are hard to find and do not offer an extensive selection of merchandise, and they are tired of poor service. Some women have relied on the Internet for a wider range of fashions, but buying without trying on can be a hassle-not to mention trying to return an online purchase. Fortunately, full-figured women no longer have to search for decent plus-size fashions or deal with the poor service that often accompanies such purchases. A new plus-size boutique concept with a warm and inviting atmosphere has been designed to make the shopping experience more satisfying. Liz Claiborne Inc., the first company to create a l

The landscaping tip of all time

Image
  There is many a landscaping tip out there to satisfy even the most desperate of landscapers or would be landscapers and you can find hundreds of them online.

The landscaping tip that you need the most will be different than the one I needed because each project is different, so take your time and learn about as many landscaping tips as you can before you start your project. The landscaping tip that everyone can learn from is to always make your yard one that will look great at any time of the year. This can be tricky because in the middle of winter many things do not look so hot. This is why it is so important to learn about the kinds of plants and trees that will still bring beauty to your home in the depth or winter and in the summer heat. To f

Sinus Pain Treatment

Image
Have you ever suffered from sinus pain? Do you hate even thinking about the fact that it might relapse again? Is it the pain? Or is it the long duration of the illness that confines you to you bed? Wondering what is it about sinusitis that makes them dreadful? Read on to know more about the causes and the symptoms of a sinus infection as well as the sinus pain treatment. A sinus is a cavity, in the bones near the nose, that is lined up with a membrane producing mucus. Mucus is sticky in nature. An infection or allergy or bacterial invasion leads to an inflammation of the sinuses and a swelling of the membrane. This traps the mucus in the sinuses and causes severe pain. The symptoms of a sinus infection primarily include pain, pressure around eyes and nose, tenderness in the face, headache and fever. Sinusitis can be acute, lasting up to three weeks, or chronic, lasting between three to eight weeks or even more. Sinus pain treatment depends on the symptoms, nature and cause of

Sharp Your Eyesight – Focus on the Center

Image
Eyesight is perfect when you see things dead on most clearly.  This is called Center Fixation and means whatever you see in the center of your vision is what you see the best. Perfect eyesight works when you look at things straight on and don't have to move your head or eyes to the side to focus.             When your vision is off, you actually look at the side of an object to see it clearly. Test this theory and see where you currently stand. Find a piece of paper with small print on it. Look at the words straight on and then turn your head to the side until you can read the print. Move your head one way and then the other until you find the best position for reading the print perfectly. Are you straight on or to the side? The retina is located in the center of the eye and is full of small light sensing rods. This area is called the fovea centralis and is the area of the eye created to have the best line of vision. If you are tilting your head to the side to see properly, the

Photoshop Plugins

Image
Adobe's Photoshop software is a very powerful image editing program that is by far the market leader for editing image files. I use Photoshop extensively when creating, and editing images for the web sites that I design. Almost all professional photographers and printers also use Photoshop to create all of the wonderful images that appear in magazines, billboards, and even on television. I am not the best artist in the world, but with Photoshop I have enough power to create brilliant images with tools that are built-in to the software.

New BusinessWeek Report on Password Security Spotlights the Need for Password Reset Software

  This week Google announced it is awarding $20,000 to anyone who can hack its Chrome browser. Very few companies award hacking – but let's face it – how can anyone know where the cracks are if no one points them out? That said, hacking is not generally awarded as most hackers are considered cyber criminals out to steal people's financial information. Staying one step ahead of hackers means having a good anti-virus software and strong passwords to safe-guard your data. In addition, a good password recovery program is always sound solution to have in case you forget your "strong and secure" password. Recovering a password is not hard anymore. Online passwords are easily changed – but to recover a Windows password – that is another story. A good solution to recover Window passwords like Password Resetter can be a life-saver and will help you recover the Windows password in no time at all. Is it always the case we can't r

Is WoW Crusher All It’s Cracked Up To Be?

  Every now and then a new guide hits the market that captures a niche or hole in information that no other guide has yet covered. Recently, I had a chance to sit down with just such a guide; the incredibly detailed new monthly guide being released by the folks over at WoW Crusher. The idea is simple. You pay a small upfront fee for full access to a past library that holds a treasure trove of information and every month, for $17 you get the newest guide in the series. Each guide comes with PvP strategies, recent news in the game, class strategies, recent gold making options, action plans, and information that is as up to date as it comes, written as often as it is. You also get a nice bonus in the form of an Action Plan that guides even the noobs among you to build an account from the ground up to be as effective as the pros out there. What WoW Crusher does is nothing short of astounding, creating a new product that allows users of all skill levels to

Information About Battlefield 3

Image
Being the much anticipated game of the year in itself is a reason good enough to make a purchase. However there is more to it for the more serious and discerning gamer. Those gamers who absolutely get their trills from one army blow out or another will be equally trilled with the inception on the battlefield 3 design. Perhaps the hype centered around the competiveness of the already up and running and ever so popular Call of Duty and the new kid on the block which is Battlefield 3. When two competitors are focused on out doing each other to create the best possible gaming scenario the results are delightful and encouraging to say the least. The more notable and seemingly authoritative players seem to further endorse this much anticipated release with some going as far as to state the awe inspiring and distracting and immersive experience promised all definitely present. The use of a greatly enhanced sound frame, the massive battlefields, the disintegrating cover, the vehicles,

Flight simulator aircraft downloads will add more fun

Over enthusiasm will land you in dissatisfaction. Major aspects to be considered before downloading is the availability of space for total display including window display. Navigation displays and maps required for flying. Recently, features with multimedia provisions and a huge lot of information about the plane you want to fly gives amoral boost to the aspirant to fly. You have an updated weather system and general view in and around the area you intend to fly. The fascinating part is the interactive cockpit and many new versions of aircraft to deal with. It is so profound and exciting to have a Beechcraft along with an R 22 helicopter to fly. The planes and helicopters with simulators are very simple but you should study well lest you tend to nose dive or belly land. Ther
