weight loss
I have been consuming too much of good food recently and it had shown quite obviously through my waist line. That would surely not be a great sign to be in great shape. Sickness would indeed hit me when I least expected. It could well be a great blow to my future. I think it’s about time I go on a strict diet plan but would that alone help me to stay healthy always? I’m not sure about that. I might need to try other alternatives as well to ensure that I would always have an energetic life and a strong immune system.
Should I go for a colon cleansing product? The Ancient Egyptians and Greeks had used alternative medical therapy to remove feces and nonspecific toxins from the colon and intestinal tract. It was believed that toxins from your gastrointestinal tract can cause a variety of health problems. By getting rid of the toxins, it would somehow help in promoting better health. Thus, it would also reduce some weights in the long run. I was kind of skeptical how this method of detoxification would help me since there are a few methods involved in colon cleanse, by special equipments through hydrotherapy or in form of dietary supplements.
Somehow by checking through one of the recommended colon cleanse product in the market, I found out that the latter method seemed to be well accepted by the public. That product has one major ingredient that I have heard so much about – Psyllium Husks. Originated from the India and Pakistan region, these husks had higher fiber content than oat bran. The husks are soluble and would enhance the lipid and sugar levels in the blood. Therefore, it would effectively helps in reducing the body weight. Cool! That should be great for some weight loss now.

Being born in a state famous for its great food does have a side effect on me. Somehow, I lacked the discipline to control my food intake. Who could have resisted all the delicious food around each loops and corners of the streets? No matter where I go, I would surely have something in my hands and busily biting or munching away. Now all my friends are beginning to take note of the big bulge from my tummy. Even my Mom has been complaining, “Hey! You better get rid of that big tummy of yours or you will be having lots of health issues later.”
That statement got me worried as I indeed had some health issues now. I would easily get tired and sleepy even during day time. Frequent chest pains and backaches might be some symptoms to watch out for. If I don’t take care of my weight now, it might lead to other major disease such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, sleep apnea, cancer, constipation, dyslipidaemia, osteoarthritis and many other scientific names that scared the hell out of me.
I did try to get some exercises but eventually the moods and motivation to maintain dies off as fast as it started. There are so many brands of diet pills from all over the world lying on my table now but none gave me the results as I would have expected them to do so. I really need some top diet pills that really work right now. It’s time I should get my health back to the tip top condition it once used to be.

Tap… tap… tap… tap… tap… ka… chink… Can you still remember how dreadful it was to go groceries shopping during peak periods in the old days? Those were the sound of the old cash register being manned by a weary looking cashier. I can imagine the stress the cashier would be in each day, having to manually key in the price of each items, especially those with huge purchases. It might be quite a norm then but still most customers do not have the patience to be caught in tens of minutes of long queues.
Today, with the foresight of good customer relationship companies, more counters are being opened up to ease the queues. Moreover, barcodes are so widely used on all products now to lessen the input time. All the cashier need is a POSGUYS to send the data into the system to be computed on the receipt with the total amount needed to pay. It’s as simple as that.
With the advancement of technology, more people would have saved up a great deal of time. Thus, life can be less stressful. More time can be spent with your loved ones to nurture a closer relationship.

As time passes by swiftly by the winks of many blinks, you can actually feel that the body clock is deteriorating much faster than ever each day. Physically and mentally, you would get more illness cruelly hitting hard on you. Your senses would begin to show signs of failing. Your medical bills would hit high on the ceiling. If you are rich, these problems would not be a problem at all as you can seek many alternatives with your richness. The worst scenario would be to be sent to the Home for the Aged to settle all your “inconveniences” by just paying a lump sum of money. Thus, there’s the lack of personal contact with the ones who had undyingly loved you from the start of your birth into the world. All they would get would be a few hours daily of visit from their personal helper.
Unfortunately, a large number of the elderly would not fall into this category of the rich and famous. They have to spend their lifetime earnings to fend for themselves. Medications, supplements, vitamins or even frequent visits to the doctors are not costing any much lesser nowadays. The amount spent in keeping the body in the best of health can be quite a surprise. How great it would be if any member of the family is in the nursing line. He or she could at least have the necessary experiences in caring and nursing any elderly members in the family within the best of their knowledge.
As a Registered Nurse (RN), one would provide scientific, psychological, and technological knowledge in the care of patients and/or families in many health care settings. It would even be better if one were to possess a B.Sc (Nursing) which could easily be achieved through any of the bsn online programs available out there. Don’t you think that it would be so ideal to have someone so qualified who has gone through bsn online around to empathize along with you through old age?

If you were to be given a chance to choose a location anywhere throughout the world to build your dream home, where would you think that would be? That’s the question I have always asked myself. With money not being an issue, I could always choose a pent house unit overseeing the whole city but that would not be what I had in mind. I have always dreamed of being somewhat closer to nature but staying in a jungle in South Africa or Amazon would surely not be my preference as I can’t go without any technological equipments. Costa Rica has tropical climate and great beaches overseeing the Caribbean Seas but most of these remote areas have no proper road access.
That left me with two options to choose from. It’s either Seychelles, an island nation, northeast of Madagascar and east of Kenya or Maldives, another island nation located in the southwest of Sri Lanka. Both have 3 shades of blue sea water all over the hundreds of coral enriched islands. This would be a real hard decision as both the nations have rich underwater kingdom. I won’t mind swimming in the crystal clear water while exploring more of the “rainforests” of these “underground safari”.
Hmm… an idea just struck my mind. I might even plan to set up two identical dream homes at both locations. Gosh! I suddenly felt that I’m so greedy but who could resist the beauty of the scenery daily? Moreover, the richness of the marine lives would be incompatible to anywhere around the world. If I ever get bored of wetting myself, I could easily view all my underwater recordings through my ever faithful Samsung HDTV.
