Colds and Flu Matters

I mentioned a few times about me having an allergy and truly there are times that it's annoying specially when i am in the middle of a nice sleep and all of a sudden i have to sneeze repetitively and deal with runny nose. These common traits are my buddies when i still ma not taking my daily dose of vitamins and gladly when i started taking this immune system boosters then it just changed everything.

Just there are times that I'm thinking where this flu virus came from and so i had my share of research so this is what i've got:

------------------------------------

What is flu?

Influenza, commonly shortened to "flu," is an extremely contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza A or B viruses. Flu appears most frequently in winter and early spring. The flu virus attacks the body by spreading through the upper and/or lower respiratory tract.

What's the difference between a cold and flu?

The common cold and flu are both contagious viral infections of the respiratory tract. Although the symptoms can be similar, flu is much worse. A cold may drag you down a bit, but the flu can make you shudder at the very thought of getting out of bed.

Congestion, sore throat, and sneezing are common with colds. Both cold and flu bring coughing, headache, and chest discomfort. With the flu, though, you are likely to run a high fever for several days and have headache, myalgia, fatigue, and weakness. Usually, complications from colds are relatively minor, but a severe case of flu can lead to a life-threatening illness such as pneumonia.

More than 100 types of cold viruses are known, and new strains of flu evolve every few years. Since both diseases are viral, antibiotics cannot conquer cold or flu. Remember: Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections.

A Healthier Me

I can't remember anymore when was my last post here but if im not mistaken, it was a month ago. Anyway, i am simply busy at my other site but i knew i have to continue updating this site too. Sigh, i don't know anymore how many sites i have at present but i think its more than the count of my finger and counting.

Anyway, today was a busy day for me. I was at the city to run some errands and one thing that i was thinkin of was to get my vitamins which i did. I have to maintain taking my ascorbic acid because it helps me boosts my immune system and a day without it is a risk on my health.

I think i should give the credit to my vitamins for  a healthier me.

Good Morning

Good morning folks..

I am in my best mood as i got plenty of sleep. As you all knew i was deprived of sleep for few days due to some activities we are currently spearheading but thank God things are over now, so i take advantage of getting the right sleep ;last night and had a good rest.

I could say nothing beats the idea of getting the right rest. A human being needs the right sleep and proper nutrition for him/her to do all his tasks in a day. A call center agent for example works on a night shift and that he is deprived to rest at night like a typical human do so the outcome, he has hard time resting in a day course. Yes, because our body adopt to the usual body routine and changing it may lead you to any illness in the future.

All im saying folks, we're no robots so take time to rest, sleep and have fun.

The Benefits of a Smile

"Smiling slows the heart and relaxes the body. This lets the heart work without overworking. People who smile and laugh often are less likely to develop heart disease. Smiling reduces blood pressure temporarily too." - Charlie Pulsipher

Drink Plenty of Water to Loss Weight

So, how do you stay fit? Im sure you  have a daily dose of exercise. Ohh, i love to do so but laziness is always dominating me every morning. Then, i have a good share to people who want to stay in shape.

Drinking LOTS of water is key to weight loss, staying hydrated, and removing impurities from your body. If you’re not a big water drinker then plain water can get boring, but if you add the right things they give it some flavor and help to detox your body. Both lemon and cucumber juice offer an array of nutritional and health benefits. These foods contain many of the essential vitamins and minerals the body needs to function. They are also versatile in how they can be used to help treat a number of ailments. Lemon: Lemon water makes for a powerful detox drink; lemon juice helps to cleanse and alkalize the body. Add one thinly sliced lemon to a large pitcher, or squeeze fresh lemon juice into your glass. Cucumber: Adding a few slices of cucumber to your water makes for excellent rehydration, and cucumber contains anti-inflammatory properties. I like to make a big pitcher of this and drink it throughout the day. It’s so refreshing and the perfect twist for plain water. You can refill the pitcher and reuse the lemon and cucumber a few times, they will stay fresh for about 2 days if kept cold.

Do We Need a Daily Dose of Ascorbic Acid?

I admit i am a little vain in terms of my body's resistance to little things like dust, heat and change of weather condition. The latter is not a buddy since most fo the time i will encounted allergic rhinitis which if i will not deal attentively may result in serious asthma attack, So whenver i feel i need a little rest and medication for allergy, i should do it the soonest to prevent further consequence. I have several health measures done to make sure i won't be hit by bad allergy but most of the time i can't tell which of those works for me and which does not. At the end of the day, it's about taking good care of our body and giving it it's sole rest is the best and ultimate way to stay healthy.

Anyway, as part of my quest to properly give my body it's needed care, i decided to change my vitans and switch to pure ascorbic acid.How many times have you heard about multivitamins, vitamins for the blood, skin and other stuff? BUt wait, one thing remains constant and that's the fact that ascorbic acid is what our body needs to boosts our immune system. A daily dose of this will hopefully make my immune system a little stronger thus ill eradicate some asthma days:)

Girl Thing: Menstrual Flow

I am actually in pain right now, i can't believe this menstrual flow just ruins the day's mood. Maybe it's just a hormonal thing but i can't help but wondered how this happened and what works in there. For girls, the monthly period is like a monthly agony. Some women dealt with painful cramps while some can't even work during their flows. But really, it amazed me how the blood goes out ad stop instantly. There is no system or machine out there yet it just works perfectly.

Per online resource, here is complete guide to this girl thing:

The menstrual cycle is the scientific term for the physiological changes that occur in fertile women and other female primates for the purposes of sexual reproduction. This article focuses on the human menstrual cycle, a "monthly" cycle that can vary around an average of ~28 days per cycle. The menstrual cycle, under the control of the endocrine system, is necessary for reproduction. It is commonly divided into three phases: the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. It is also occasionally misclassified using the uterine cycle: menstruation, proliferative phase, and secretory phase.[1] Menstrual cycles are counted from the first day of menstrual bleeding. Hormonal contraception interferes with the normal hormonal changes with the aim of preventing reproduction
