It seems like not a day goes by without seeing a negative thing happening to the environment. Sometimes you wonder what is happening to the environment. How could environmental pollution damage the earth without damaging us as well? I went to Asia to visit my parents and I could not believe it with my own eyes more then half the people there wear face masks to protect themselves from the dirty air. What to do?
I am pretty much at the Downsview Flea Market on a weekly basis. They have lots of cool things and the produce they have is overwhelming. The market has many DVD places but you can see that not just Asian places have copied DVDs. This Flea Market is pretty popular and I think the largest in Toronto. Also there are a few computer technicians there and as long as you bargain you can get your computer fixed from $20-$50 depending on the problem. There are a lot of friendly people there and the food court has a good variety. Overall the place is nice and sorta clean but you can find a good bargain here.
Going to attend my CPR Training for work purposes. People say it is useless but I feel it can save a life when you least expect it. Also having the training and never encountering a chance to use it is the less stressful. Thank you for all the support from all my wife, family, and friends. I will land this new job.
What has smoking done for you? What has smoking done for the people around you?
My father was a pack a day smoker since I can remember. He tried many times to quit smoking but it never seemed to work. Once he found out he had cancer at the age of 46, he went cold turkey. But, luckily the cancer was in his nasal cavity. Why does it take a person to have something happen to them or someone around them to change?
After 2 years of chemotherapy he wasn't cancer free yet. Even though the cancer was gone there is still a possibility it may resurface. And this year marked his tenth check up, the doctor examined and nothing resurfaced. The doctor said this was his final visit and congratulated him. My father was happy and there was that skip in his step when we left the hospital. The doctor actually said he was cancer free, because after the tenth year, mostly 100% of patients' with this condition, will never resurface again.
I feel within these 12 years of worrying, my father, my mother, my brother and I became closer. Spent more time talking and communicating in the family. Even though smoking brought this family pain and worry, it made this family think about life.
Life is precious, please don't wait till something to happen to do something. Do something now to change it. Spend more time with your family and friends. Stop bad habits to prevent illnesses and arguments. The choice is yours.
Ever wonder why most people see their doctor? The answer may surprise you.
Most people age 20 to 64 see their doctor for high blood pressure, diabetes, joint and abdominal pain then for all other reasons combined.
One thing these conditions have in common is lifestyle: poor diet and high stress levels are prime factors in all of them. The irony is that most doctors, although great at medical interventions, do not focus on nutrition and lifestyle issues. They often leave us on our own to figure them out.
Although healthy food is available to most of us, it seems that eating healthy has never been more difficult. Tempting high-fat, low-nutrition foods beckon all of us. And when we feel stressed and short on time to prepare nutritious meals, we opt for ready-made, processed foods. Over time, these habits contribute to diabetes, indigestion and numerous other ailments. The old saying, “You are what you eat!” is proving to be true.
A recent survey shows that 95% of the population suffers from at least one mineral deficiency. It is widely held that these deficiencies are directly related to our food choices. In addition, the soil in which we grow our food simply does not have the same levels of essential minerals it did just 100 years ago. If these vital nutrients are not in the soil, they will not be in the foods we eat.
Some of the most common mineral deficiencies include Calcium and Magnesium: an inadequate intake of both may lead to weakened bones and joints. Other common deficiencies include copper, iron and zinc - all essential to healthy living.
Daily use of balanced multi-vitamin and mineral supplements can prevent nutritional deficiencies and bridge the gap between what our diets provide and what our bodies really need.
So it’s no longer a question about whether we need vitamin and mineral supplements but, rather, which vitamin and mineral supplements we need of the various stages of life.
