No Comments »

Lemons, they are one of the best fruits to use if you are sick or have asthma. Learn why and how you need to use them if you have asthma

Most people shy away from lemons because they are sour. Or, they make lemon juice and then kill their beneficial effects by adding sugar. Well, here is what your are missing if you don’t drink fresh natural lemon aid every morning.

For asthma, lemon juice is great because it,

It is antiseptic – kills germs that hide in your mucus
It destroys bad bacteria that lives in your mouth, stomach, and intestines
It helps to dissolve mucus so when you have a cold or cough you recover quicker. The combination of 8 oz of water and lemon greatly cuts into your thick mucus that builds up in your bronchial tubes.
Helps to cleanse your blood and clean blood makes your lung tisse healthier

Lemons are high in vitamin C and potassium. They also contain plenty of fiber and phytochemcials, which contain antioxidants many of which have not been studied.

Use only lemons that are yellow and don’t have any signs of green. You can store lemons in a plastic bag in the refrigerator and they will last for up to 5-6 days. To use these lemons bring them out and let them come to room temperature.

If you have a lot of lemons, you can squeeze the juice and freeze them in ice trays for later use.

If you have acid reflux or ulcers use lemons with caution and use your common sense to decide how much juice to drink. With acid reflux or ulcers use DGL or Mastic gum to clear the H..pyloric bacteria.

Lemons also tend to thin the blood so if you are on drugs that thin the blood, avoid using a lot of lemon juice.

When you have asthma, you can use 3-4 lemons daily. You can use up to ten lemons per day without much problem when you are trying to resolve a health issue. What you can do for asthma is make a thermos drink where you squeeze 4-5 lemons into 32 oz or less of distilled water and drink this juice all day long. Just remember to rinse out your mouth with fresh water after you drink the lemon juice.

Do you know what LASIK surgery is?

No Comments »

LASIK is a refractive surgery procedure that reshapes the cornea of the eye, producing clearer vision and reducing an individual’s need for glasses or contact lenses. Short for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, LASIK eye surgery is used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. These refractive errors hinder the focusing power of the eye, resulting in blurred vision. LASIK eye surgery is a customized treatment that resculpts the cornea, removing an exact amount of tissue to improve a patient’s visual acuity.

Recent advances in LASIK surgery include using new wavefront-guided technology in the Custom LASIK system. Custom LASIK provides for even more personalized LASIK results, as both higher and lower order aberrations can be corrected.

Improved Self Esteem After Tummy Tuck SurgeryImproved Self Esteem After Tummy Tuck Surgery

No Comments »

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure which involves reshaping and refashioning both the stomach and the skin and muscles surrounding it. The correct term for a tummy tuck is an Abdominoplasty.

This procedure is normally used for cosmetic reasons. However after surgery most patients are left with considerable improvement to one’s self esteem and can be a driving force for the decision to have surgery performed.

The usual type of person who undergoes a tummy tuck is very often a woman who has had children and has ended up with stretch marks and loose saggy skin on her abdomen. Other women, who may benefit from a tummy tuck, are often those women who have undergone a caesarian section and left with scars and or lose skin

It’s important that patients who have decided to have a tummy tuck realize that they will be left with a scar. Many people seem to think that this type of procedure leaves a very fine scar or no scar at all, however it should be remembered that this procedure is classed as major surgery, and there is bound to be some form of scarring.

The scar from a tummy tuck usually runs horizontally from hip to hip over the pubic region. The surgeon who is normally a plastic surgeon appreciates the anxiety of his patients that as little scar as possible will be visible. Therefore a good surgeon will do his utmost to ensure the scar that is left is as low as possible so it is as least visible as possible.

Many patients undergo multiple procedures at the time of a Tummy Tuck. Reasons for combining procedures with a tummy tuck include patient goals, recovery time and cost.

Liposuction performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck can enhance the whole look of the abdomen giving it a completely new shape.

Tummy Tuck & Breast Enhancement are also frequently combined. Many mothers after pregnancy, breastfeeding and or substantial weight loss are unfortunatley left with sagging breasts and lose skin in the abdomen area. This type of patient benefits greatly from combining the two surgeries.

Breaking Into a Vegetable Juicing Diet

No Comments »

So you have your new juicer and are ready to make all the vegetable juicing recipes you can. Before you buy lots of different vegetables to juice, you need to know some basics that will help you break into a vegetable juicing diet.

You must integrate vegetable juice into your diet with baby steps. Juicing allows you to absorb more nutrients because the vegetable juice is already removed for the pulp for your intestines to take them in. However, not all vegetable juice can be digested that easily, especially the green leafy vegetable juice that is very rich. It is better to use vegetables that are easy to consume first, such as celery, zucchini, beets, carrots, and cucumbers.

Use recipes that are based on a combination of these. After a while, when there are no issues with digestion, slowly add in some dark greens like broccoli, lettuce and spinach. Eventually, you should have no problems with almost all vegetables.

It is not a good idea stick with the same few vegetable juicing recipes that you enjoy. Try out juicing recipes that include vegetables you may not like. Reduce the amount it calls for if you need to and use other fruits and vegetables you like to mask the taste. That way, you won’t get too used to a narrow diet. Your body may have a difficult time adjusting to changes in your eating habits otherwise. You also insure that you are getting a many vitamins and minerals. I would suggest using your favorite juicing recipes every 3 days or so, and the other days to try new things.

Many people don’t like to deal with the taste of vegetable juice because it is may be too rich in nutrients and too bitter. If it is bitter, then sweeten it a little! Add some carrots and beets. Alternatively, you can use apples, grapes and other fruits to give it an enjoyable taste. If it’s too dense, dilute it with water.
