The Virtues of Napping : Strengthen Your Immune System

The Virtues of Napping : Strengthen Your Immune System

Many people in Latin American and Mediterranean countries couldn't do without their afternoon siesta, typically a three- hour break during which workers may go home to eat, sleep and relax. But in some Western countries, where people are very work-driven, pausing to refresh yourself has decidedly negative connotations. Adults are expected to work all day - and not take time off to nap.

Why it’s natural to nap?
The reason is simple: we all have a built-in physiological desire for a nap in the afternoon. How do we know this? When researchers asked volunteers to spend time in an underground room with no clocks or clues as to day or night and told them to sleep whenever they wanted, the subjects slept in two cycles: a longer session at night and a shorter period – a nap – during the day. read on

Fat burning diet : By the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital

Fat burning diet

This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed it will clear your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being as never before. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 and possibly 17lbs. You will have an abundance of energy.

This diet is fast and fat burning, and it will flush your system of impurities, and gives you a feeling of well being. NO drinking alcohol on his diet!

Because everyone's digestive system is different for several days you may find that your bowel movements have changed.. Eat a cup of bran or fibre.

The fat-burning soup can be eaten anytime that you feel hungry. Eat as much as you wish. Remember, the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (absolutely no skin on the chicken!).

ANY PRESCRIBED MEDICATION WILL NOT HURT YOU ON THIS DIET read on

Four Numbers to Track Every Day : Live a healthier life

Live a healthier life

So you've decided to do your heart a favour and live a healthier life. The fact is that old habits die hard, and the route is packed with unhealthy temptations. It is so easy to order a large portion of chips, watch a late-night film instead of going to bed at 10pm, or buy that huge bacon, lettuce and tomato baguette and eat the whole thing.

So what is the best way to find out whether you've adopted enough new, healthy habits to make a difference? That's easy - just use this simple, daily tracking system.
This is how it works: every evening, take a few moments to ask yourself four questions about your day. Your answers will make it perfectly clear whether you are staying true to the path towards improved health, or if your good intentions are not being matched with much-needed good actions. read on

The therapy of Massage : Treat your body!

The therapy of Massage : Treat your body!

Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits.

Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening and toning the entire body mechanism, and so help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses.

Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system-depending upon what is required by the individual-and thus help reduce fatigue, leaving the receiver with a feeling of replenished energy. At its best, massage has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally and spiritually.? Read on

How to live 10 Years longer: : Men's health special!

How to live 10 Years longer: : Men's health special!

What if someone told you that if you added six specific foods to your daily diet, you could tack two years on to your life? Or that if you eliminated a certain habit you'd live four years longer? It'd be like those charts in your retirement plan statement showing that if you put away $100 a week starting at age 21 you'll be worth $10 million at 65.

You'd almost have to be an idiot not to do it. Right?

What follows are nine strategies recently shown to have the greatest impact on a man's life span. Eighty per cent of longevity is now thought to be a function of behaviour (as opposed to your genes), meaning that, taken together, these plans can result in a significant net gain in the amount of time you get to hang around this earth doing fun stuff. To be exact, 10 years, according to risk analyst Anna Hart, who consulted her actuarial tables to assign the numbers on our list. That's 10 years to go diving on a coral reef. Or climb one of the world's great mountains. Or - who knows - take a trip to Mars. Read on

Juniper berries give this dish a distinctive flavour. The beef is slowly simmered until meltingly tender, while nourishing barley soaks up some of the juices and thickens the rich gravy to make a hearty casserole. Serve with mashed potatoes and green vegetables.
