This is the place where you can relax yourself while digesting all you would want to know about love, life and relationship. On and off I would also be touching on health and photography.

The word “Mesothelioma” may sound scientifically like a sort of mineral but the name itself has caused fears in many people who had came across it. Mesothelioma is actually an asbestos caused cancer which affects the membranes that surround the lungs and the lining of the abdomen. It may come with many names such as pleural mesothelioma or peritoneal mesothelioma, but both are as deadly as they may sound.
Although asbestos has been banned in many countries, most people still could not avoid using it as its uses remained quite irreplaceable. With good sound absorption qualities and tensile strength, asbestos is also resistance to heat, electricity and chemical damage. But asbestos is TOXIC! Observations had been carried out, even as early as the ancient time, to study on those people who had come in contact with the deadly asbestos. The material was found to be highly hazardous to the human health.
Workers as well as residents staying near to asbestos factories and mines were found to be hard hit with cancers due to long periods of exposure by inhaling the asbestos fibers. Tests of asbestos exposure had been run on animals and those animals were found to have tumors. Of all other forms of industrial asbestos, amosite has been found to be the most hazardous asbestos mineral. With a straight, hollow, minute and feather-like fiber structure, amosite can stay almost invisible to the human eyes and airborne for up to 72 hours. Thus, it can be highly deadly to the human health. Other than mesothelioma, being overexposed to asbestos has other side effects. It may cause benign like growth on the skin, plaques with discrete fibrous or partially calcified thickened area or even diffuse pleural thickening which may cause lung impairment.
Unless asbestos is recycled by transforming it into harmless silicate glass, porcelain stoneware tiles, porous single-fired wall tiles and ceramic bricks, it is advisable to stay away from the usage of this hazardous material.

If someone were to ask you to get your colons cleanse in order to have better health, well being and as a preventive method against cancer just like what the Egyptians did, would you do it? I would not if it’s not necessary unless I have chronic constipation and fecal impaction. It might be good to remove and flush out the entire encrusted gunk on your intestinal walls due to a long period of imbalance, non fiber diet but I could not imagine how much pain I would have to bear to endure the whole processes.
Although I did not find any strong proofs nor approval by the FDA on the widely marketed colon cleansing products, there existed so many types which include products for hydrotherapy, colon cleanse liquid or powder, oxygenated colon irrigation and even home ready colon cleansing kits such as Colonix. I personally felt that we should let our own body run the natural course in cleansing itself by getting rid of the internal wastes and toxins and not letting any unproven substances get into our body.
So, do you think colon cleansing is beneficial towards one’s well being? I still insist against the usage. Just like syringes, you won’t want to inject yourself unnecessary right?
How often did you hear someone telling you not to skip breakfast as it is the most important meal of the day? You might be wondering what the heck it has to do with you as you could save up a certain sum of money by skipping the meal. You are truly wrong about this misperception as breakfast is surely the most important meal of the day not because of anything else but for your health reason. Can you imagine yourself trying to start your car on an empty fuel tank? How would you expect the car to move without any fuel? The same principle applies to your body. It would not have the necessary energy to sustain your concentration and stamina for the rest of the day.
You might not realize the side effect of skipping breakfast which is going to make your body functions quite chaotic. You tend to eat more frequent and most of the time it would be food that would not contain the necessary nutrients to stay healthy. There are no fixed rules that breakfast must consist of cereal and bread. It could well be fruits or any leftovers. As long as you get your stomach filled prior to going out in the morning, you would be way safe with your “car engine”. You won’t get breakdowns or inconsistent filling up throughout the day. Thus, you would be more attentive and alert towards you daily duties.
Most of the time, I would have bread for breakfast but it’s getting really unhealthy with all those hidden ingredients. Can you imagine the long term consumption of those preservative filled fruit jams or even peanut butter? I would need something fresh, something that I could grow easily and have access to them conveniently. I was thinking of the hardy Blackberry plants which would easily grow on any type of soil. Won’t it be nice have fresh blackberries with cereals, fresh blackberry jams or even blackberry pies for breakfast? I’m anxiously waiting to purchase those yummy fruit plants now.
I came across this YouTube video and had a great laugh over what the son did when there are good sales online weekly. You know how? He charged to the credit card of his father. LOL! Isn’t that what most children would do when there are great bargains that one could not go without? I also would purchase the Xbox if only I could charge that to my Dad’s credit card. Haha!
I’m also a regular stalker in the online sales website and to date I had purchased many items and most of them came with free delivery. That’s a great bargain on top of the many tens and hundreds I had saved compared to purchasing from any of the local stores. If I were you, I would pop in the many sections in the website such as Apparel & Shoes, Bags & Luggage, Books, Buy for Business, Cameras, Cell Phones, Computer & Office, DVDs, Electronics, Fragrance, Games, Home & Outdoor, Jewelry & Watches, Music, Networking, Software, Sports and Toys & Baby to check out what’s the best deal around town. It’s sure a site filled with great sale all year through.
Do you know what would be my next target? I’m going to get that HTC Touch Diamond soon. It’s slim and can be fitted into my palm with no problems at all. Moreover, I can connect easily through the built in WIFI system as well as to shoot great photos. At least I can check my emails easily now anytime and anywhere.
If you have read the latest report on obesity right within US itself, you would get a scare out of your life. Can you imagine that 58 millions of Americans are overweight with 40 million of them being obese and 3 millions are morbidly obese? Since 1990, there has been a 76% increase of Type II diabetes cases, mostly in adults within the range of 30-40 years old.
To avoid those obese related diseases such as Type II diabetes, cardio vascular diseases, breast cancer, colon cancer, gall bladder or even high blood pressure, one should take note of the body weight not only on yourself but also on your children’s as new study had found that one in four overweight children has shown early signs of diabetes impaired glucose intolerance which is related to Type II diabetes. Most of them stood a high risk of getting heart related diseases. Within the last two decades, the numbers of overweight and obese children worldwide had increased four fold and it would climb dramatically by 2010. If you are a pair of loving parents with high hope for your children’s future clean health, do give them balance diets during each meal.
Through my years of observing families with obese children, it’s almost always the case of leadership by example. If you are not concern about your own weight issues, you would not even heed the future health of your children. Some families even thought that having fat, chubby, overweight children would show their status of prosperity. What a wrong perception. Those children stood a high risk of being stunned by critical diseases in the later stage of their lives!
There are many diet programs out there to help you to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Some may even use diet pill for a swifter effect. It all lies on your effort and determination to step forward now for a healthier living.
