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?

I’m going camping for sure but not by the beach or by the mountain anywhere within my home country but in Miami in the southeastern state of Florida. You would be asking what the heck I’m doing in Miami where it’s the seventh largest metro area in the United States. Am I really going to camp by setting up my tent in such a large city? Well, Miami is the only major city in the United States bordered by two national parks, Everglades National Park on the west and Biscayne National Park on the east. Surrounding these two parks are tens of great camping sites, of which some might be privately owned.
Even with the easily available parks, you would still expect me to really set up my tent and camp overnight? Of course I’m not going to miss out my vacation by doing that. It would surely be a more relax and luxurious camping style by mode of my rented recreational vehicle. At least I have the least of worries on gathering dry fire woods for my cooking and also where to ease myself during nature’s call. Moreover, I still have a comfortable and clean bed to sleep on without worrying about the invasion of bugs.
Gosh! I’m really spoilt! Gone were the days of my childhood camping where I have to work hard to ensure a pleasant camping days. Now with rv camping, everything has been so easy. Technology and modernization sure changed our lifestyle a lot.

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.

How could they do that when I’m on a strict diet on the doctor’s advice? I know I should avoid overeating all the time but what would you do if you have a household full of members who would always hold big eat outs especially during your mother’s birthday? A few days’ ago was the evidence of that big feast. I have had all the drooling Japanese, Korean, Cantonese and Shanghainese cuisines laid very invitingly right in front of my two popping out eyes.
What had I done then? To skip every single dish that was laid there would be a waste of good food and to take every dish in a large amount would surely kill my diet program. In the end, I opted for some appetite suppressants to stop myself from savoring everything on the table. Gosh! It did help me control my food intake. By the time I tried to gobble down more food, I was already feeling so filled up.
Thanks to TestoRipped, a formula that helped me to control my crazy appetite at odd hours of the day and at the same time help me to burn more fat while increasing my lean muscle mass. I guessed I would have to order more bottles for my coming business trip soon. You see, I will never stop eating too whenever I’m in a foreign country. LOL!
