Computer Eye Strain
2007-10-08 20:55:06
I only used the computer in my office for a few hours, and it caused me a severe strain in the eye area. Whereas my colleague is able to use it from 7:30am to 5: oopm without even complaining. The strain was so bad, that I started to feel nauseas and ended up being absent from school.I can't even request for a laptop as it is only meant for teachers, and has to go through a long process which I can't be bothered. However, my condition improved for the past week after I carry out these steps.I requested for a monitor filter. Perhaps the glare is too much for my eyes to take it.Adjust the screen downwards so that the position is slightly below my eye level. Also, I kept a safe distance (about 50-60cm) between my eyes and the screen. Take a break after about 45 min, and do other things such as admiring the scenery outside the office.If I start to feel a slight strain, I would gently press the palms of my hands onto my eyes, to relax the eye muscle.

How To Protect Your Hearing
2007-10-04 03:25:31
This is the continuation part of Are You A Safe Headphone User? So here is how to protect your hearing.Get ear plugs if you are attending any rock concerts. If you think it is stupid or not cool, think again. Even band members from Metallica wear them. Here's the proof, adapted from http://mixonline.com/livesound/tours/audio_metallica_3/,It was only four years ago, during the orchestra dates with the San Francisco Symphony, that the band first wore in-ears. Owen relates that it was evident that the band truly heard themselves when they went on ears, especially Ulrich.“Lars had always worn thick ear plugs and listened to a huge drum monitor. Don't stuff tissue in your ears. It doesn't play any significant role.Mark the safe volume level of your MP3 player.If you start to hear ringing sound, that's a sign of damage. If you do, have your ears checked.

Dry Red Eyes
2007-10-19 06:07:56
Personally I do not use contacts, due to the some gruesome stories I heard. However, most of my friends who use contacts tend to have dry, red eyes. Hence they tend to use more eye drops, which is only affective for a certain period. According to Dr Robert Latkany, eye redness caused from contacts to rosacea, can lead to impaired vision and eye infection. Here's how to prevent them:Consume more fish. Fish oil too helps as it contains useful supplements. You can easily get them as they are available in nearby stores including 7 eleven.Avoid staring at the screen for too long. As you blink, tears produced which creates moisture to your eyes, and eventually prevent dryness. Do not use contacts till your doctor says it is OK.Have enough sleep. As you sleep, the film coating your eyes is replenished.
Kiwi Fruit
2007-10-18 03:37:45
For the previous month, I had trouble sleeping, no matter how tired I was. I would just toss and turn in bed knowing its only 3 am.Currently my sister has been buying kiwi fruits everyday. I love the golden kiwis and they actually taste much sweeter than the green ones. She buys in packet form that has been peeled and sliced, most convenient for lazy people like me =P But you could just scoop the filling with a spoon rather than peeling the skin which I find it quite troublesome.I usually eat them an hour before going to sleep. And Hey! My sleep condition improved!Not sure bout the content that is hidden in kiwis though, But there has been studies that eating kiwi actually improves your sleep quality by 40%.I recommend the golden kiwis. Taste superb!

Jeans Size And Your Heart
2007-10-18 00:00:06
Do you know that the bigger your waist area, the higher chances of getting a heart disease? According to a British Medical Journal in 2005, men with pant size 38 inches and above, women with size 34.5 inches and up have the higher risk of getting a heart disease and diabetes.That means the bigger your jeans, the more dangerous belly fat you have. To have a more accurate reading, the bottom of your measuring tape should be exactly even with the top of your hip bone.Therefore, aim for less than 40cm waist circumference for men, and 35cm for women in order to be in the safe zone.

Sometimes before going to bed, I tend to have some slight muscle spasm. Examples like, I dreamt that I missed a step when going down the stairs. Not sure if it ever occurred to you, but those dreams happened quite often to me.I was told that if I want to have a good night sleep, it is recommended to drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed.

Importance Of Breakfast
2007-10-22 00:19:15
Are you one of those who skip your breakfast? Perhaps you are on a busy schedule that you tend to skip it. Actually breakfast has always been regarded as the most important meal of the day.Breakfast
is so important, that it is a foundation for long health benefits. Do you know that when you don't skip them, you have 35-50% lower rate of insulin resistance compare to those who skip the meal.It is good news as insulin resistance triggers diabetes and heart diseases. A study also showed that those who skipped breakfast are more likely to be overweight than those who didn't skip it. Sometimes when you skip breakfast, you tend to get hungrier and ended up eating more than usual for lunch. Perhaps that causes the gain of weight.So if you are a busy person, have some packet of biscuits or bread handy to start a healthy day.
How To Keep Fruits
2007-10-28 08:43:06
Do you usually left the fruit that has been cut in the open or in the fridge?In order to retain the high vitamin C content, I was told by my lecturer to keep it chilled. There was also a study done to test the amount of nutrient lost.The food scientists took pineapples, mangoes, watermelon, strawberries, and kiwifruit, and divide them into 2 groups. The 1st group was cut into half while the 2nd group was left untouched. Both groups were kept refrigerated for 9 days before tested for nutritional content.Compared to the whole fruit, the cut fruit revealed only small losses of antioxidant compounds.Therefore, keep your fruits refrigerated and let it chill.

Siblings Personalities
2007-10-26 18:59:41
Do you sometimes wonder why most parents tend to be more lenient on the youngest child, and most strict towards the first? It's actually a very simple explanation to it.First time parents usually have high expectations and bring out traits like confidence, leadership, and determination in first born child. So when they get tired of it, family dynamics change with every addition.The middle child is sandwiched between a confident older sibling and the family baby. However, they need extra parental attention to avoid feeling resentful.The youngest tends to be most affectionate, and savvier, with the help of older siblings to guide the way. Furthermore, they are also known to get away with most things, which is something all older siblings can attest to =PBeing the youngest child, is it true to a certain extent. But mostly my mom treats both me and my sister equally, so both will still end up getting punished.

Arguments In A Relationship
2007-10-25 06:03:10
I've been dating for 4 years, and of course it's a norm that relationships are full of ups and downs. There will be countless arguments even over a slightest issue. But do not be surprised that is it actually a formula for staying together.One should not be too egoistic and the main thing is to learn how to say "sorry". Just like what Dr Clio Cresswell said, "Couples who compromise the least usually stay together the longest. A conversation between a couple will always be bursting with patterns, just like mathematics." Therefore, if you and your partner can't reach an easy conclusion, agree to disagree and move on. Don't dwell on it for a few days till if affect your work or others. Perhaps that's why my arguments with him doesn't last for more than 24 hours =P

Arguments In Relationship Slows Down Healing
2007-11-01 23:11:03
Do you know that arguments in a relationship slow down the body's ability to heal? With the stress added on, it will reduce the process even more.I saw an article which I happened to read during one of the work courses in NIE. The researchers (both husband and wife), study 42 couples with blisters. During the 1st visit, they were told to discuss something that encourages each other. While the 2nd visit, they were instructed to resolve a disagreement.After each visit, their levels of cytokines were measured. Cytokines are messengers that pass messages to cells, to heal the wound. The researchers discovered that the amount of cytokines is lower during the 2nd visit compared to the 1st. Furthermore, those most hostile couple took two days longer to heal.However, arguments in a relationship are a formula for staying together =) Just don't be overboard.

How Is Chocolate Milk Good?
2007-11-01 06:22:18
If you study biology, mitochondria are known as "cellular power plants," because they generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy. Mitochondria aid in the body‘s repair system and also maintain itself. As we get older, mitochondria tends to reduce. Since chocolate contains a mixture of protein and carbohydrate, it could help in muscle recovery. Now, the researchers in New Zealand are trying to find out that, if there’s increase in production of mitochondria by drinking chocolate milk, this could lead to healthier and longer lives.Also read Chocolate

For Busy People
2007-10-29 19:57:03
My sister nowadays seems to be busy with financial closing, as she is working in the accounts department. She tends to reach home late around 10pm or later. However, if this goes on, it's not going to be healthy.Dr Lisa told me that those who work around 50 hours a week (when we were given 42 hours a week) are 30% more likely to have high blood pressure.Furthermore, those with chronic job stress are up to five times more likely than stress-free workers to get metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome leads to heart diseases and diabetes.Therefore, get some breaks and socialise with colleagues, joke around with them. This eases stress and you will be healthier.
Herbs And Its Benefits
2007-11-05 19:58:12
Mom and sis brought me to Asian Fare & Grill at Bedok corner yesterday, whose chef is a celebrity. He's known as Chef Bob, or Chef Skooter. The food was superb!! I love herbs, so I chose Pho Bo, a Vietnamese noodle dish. The best part was, the desert was given free (In the house) by Chef Bob himself =)The reason why I love herbs is that, there are a lot of benefits.Cloves - help to relieve stomach problems and rheumatism.Thyme - Ease colds, coughs and bronchitis.Ginger - Ease nausea and aid digestion.Garlic - May lower cholesterol and blood pressure.Cumin - Relieve indigestion and wind. Infuse in hot water to help colds.These herbs and spices enhance the flavour, instead of adding unhealthy salt. So try them!

Do You Have Sweaty Feet?
2007-11-05 19:51:53
The smell doesn't come from sweat, but comes from the bacteria on the skin that breaks down the sweat, and excretes offensive-smelling odour. If you have this problem, here are some basic treatments.Wash your feet daily and dry your feet thoroughly.Use odour-absorbing insoles to control smelly shoes.Choose socks that are made up of cotton or mixture of cotton and sythetic, as these materials allows moisture "ventilation".If your problem still persist:Soak your feet once a day in water that contain drying agents such as salt or vinegar.Spray feet with rubbing alcohol every morning.Use absorbent powder such as baby powder in shoes.However, if the sweat is still excessive, do consult your doctor.
Who Scratches More Often?
2007-11-10 05:52:15
I'm not sure whether you noticed but, women tend to scratch their body more often than men. I had seen it myself and I'm guilty being one of them =P I believe gender helps to determine the impulse to scratch it.There has also been a research in Canada to show that gender difference plays a part in scratching behaviours. They used chloroquine and histamines to produce itch on mice, but they say the findings could apply to human and mammals as well. So what is the conclusion? Females scratched themselves 23% more often than males did.Are you already starting to feel the itch?
