<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Other changes from the 2012 findings: cherry tomatoes and hot peppers are newcomers this year. Blueberries and lettuce, meanwhile, dropped off the Dirty Dozen list. The environmental watchdog group uses data compiled by the USDA, based on </span><a href="http://www.ewg.org/foodnews2013/methodology.php" style="background-color: white; color: #990033; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; text-decoration: none;">pre-washed samples of 48 types</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;"> of conventionally-grown fruits and vegetables, to produce its findings.</span><br />

Still, notes EWG, various U.S. and international government agencies have linked pesticides to a slew of health risks, including cancer, hormone disruption, brain and nervous system toxicity and irritation to the skin, eyes and lungs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Additionally, the EWG added a “plus” category for the second year, noting two items—domestically-grown summer squash, plus kale and collards—that, though they didn’t meet Dirty Dozen standards, were commonly contaminated with exceptionally toxic pesticides. These organophosphates, dangerous to the nervous system, were phased out of agricultural use in the 1970s and ’80s, but still linger on many farm fields.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Still, there’s also good news, as the guide includes the “Clean Fifteen”—fruits and veggies with the lowest levels of pesticides, offering hopeful solutions for anyone not in the position to find or pay for more expensive organics. Many of these safest options have naturally protective coatings, such as corn, which tops that list once again this year, and papaya, which is a newcomer. Watermelon, sadly, dropped off the clean list from 2012. </div>

In addition, it maintains the body's muscle mass composition. This mode of weight loss is advocated by the majority of weight loss doctors, because it provides a permanent form of weight loss, and regaining the weight is virtually impossible.</span></div>

Getting about eight hours of sleep a night boosts your immune system and can reduce your risk of getting sick</span><br />

Chances are it's sugary or high in fat, which means it's high in calories.

That coupled with skipped workouts from lack of energy means even more weight gain. A foggy head can also impair your judgment, making you more likely to give in to cravings. If you're trying to lose weight, getting enough sleep can make all the difference.</span><br />

You don't always have to sip to stay hydrated. Experts say that 20 percent (or 2-1/2 cups) of the water we ingest comes from the foods we eat. Choosing the right water-rich fruits and vegetables will also add nutrients to your diet, fill you up, and may even give some oomph to your exercise.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://edit.shine.yahoo.com:9999/channel/health/13-hydrating-foods-for-hot-summer-days-2508577/" rel="nofollow"> Fruits like strawberries, cantaloupes, and peaches are packed full of water and potassium</a>, which is the electrolyte shed when your body sweats. Adding more to your daily diet will help balance the fluids your body needs, regulate your heartbeat and circulation, and tastes better than chugging an energy drink.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Count other drinks besides water as fluids</strong><br />
It's OK to include other drinks when you're measuring how many fluids you take in per day. However, that isn't a license to subsist on <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/diet-soda-may-be-making-you-fat-2504019" rel="nofollow"> soda, coffee, and sugary drinks</a>. Although caffeine in soda and coffee <a href="http://www.livestrong.com/article/413306-does-diet-soda-count-as-water-intake/" rel="nofollow"> won't dehydrate you</a>, they shouldn't be used to quench thirst or as a substitute for water. Add them to your fluid tally, but do reach for water more often than you pop open a can of bubbly stuff.<br />
<br />
People who imbibe, particularly wine and hard liquors, should also be aware that those drinks with a high alcohol content can be dehydrating. Beer, however, is less dehydrating because it is predominantly water. Drinking a glass of water before and after alcohol can't hurt fluid intake or the chances of avoiding a headache the next day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Don't get sucked in to the sports drink hype</strong><br />
The risks of hyponatremia are steep, but take the hype about over-hydrating with a grain of salt. The multi-billion-dollar sports drink industry has pushed the idea that most people need more than water when they are active. <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/event/summerliving/are-sports-drinks-better-than-water-2491593" rel="nofollow"> However, some experts say that most people don't need a lot of sports beverages, and that they often just add calories to diets.</a> The CDC recommends choosing sports drinks that do not have added sugar, which can total 38 grams in just one bottle.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Don't overdo it</strong><br />
The debate about how much water we really need to be drinking is centered around the risk of <a href="http://health.yahoo.net/channel/low-sodium-in-blood-hyponatremia.html" rel="nofollow"> </a><a href="http://health.yahoo.net/galecontent/hyponatremia" rel="nofollow">hyponatremia</a>, or taking in more fluid that the body loses while sweating. <a href="http://health.yahoo.net/channel/low-sodium-in-blood-hyponatremia.html" rel="nofollow"> It is a serious condition that occurs when there is not enough sodium (or salt) in the body fluids outside of the cells.</a> This can cause swelling, including of the brain. Hyponatremia happens when a person sweats excessively in one stint, does not eat, does not urinate enough, and drinks a great deal of water. Symptoms include confusion, headaches, muscle spasms, vomiting, convulsions, and fatigue. In the worst cases, hyponatremia can lead to seizures, coma, and even death. </div>Emelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09549403845504099233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864291519436289420.post-1226760611698459482011-05-11T07:17:00.000-07:002011-05-11T07:21:53.165-07:00Looks of Women Love but Men Hate<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8naxE6ra0MSxxGzxAfcmnScHFTcVIzjivG4YsHUVWpqZa5Xb4YajfxP_slAeWQi_Gb9BVXw-MnUUwiz_Tm7H8mvh2VSfOvs66WO_ed5oHDUNQaSNDcobZITvM_zvOjAX_Cwuc26arkPE/s1600/lead-free-lipstick2-lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8naxE6ra0MSxxGzxAfcmnScHFTcVIzjivG4YsHUVWpqZa5Xb4YajfxP_slAeWQi_Gb9BVXw-MnUUwiz_Tm7H8mvh2VSfOvs66WO_ed5oHDUNQaSNDcobZITvM_zvOjAX_Cwuc26arkPE/s320/lead-free-lipstick2-lg.jpg" width="250" /></a>Thin eyebrows, contact lenses, glittering lipsticks, colorful nail polish.

After You AteHave you experience the even after you ate you feel that you are still hungry? Well, I do and I guess you do. These are some reasons why. Our brain is the one who will tell us that we are full or hungry. It takes at least twenty minutes that our stomach will send to our brain that we are full.<br />
<br />

Before and after doing some exercise, it is very important that you do some stretching. It has been part of the routine. Stretching is some sort of warming up (before exercise) and cooling down (after exercise). Why is it important? This will help avoid injuries and muscle pain. But do not over-do stretching nor do not stretch those injured muscles. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Toe Touch:</b> Stand flat footed and slowly bend at the waist reaching down toward your toes. Don't lock your knees, but keep your legs straight and hold for 30 seconds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Hamstring Stretch:</strong> Sit with one leg extended and the other bent so the bottom of the foot is against the stretched out thigh. Stretch forward toward your toe for 30 seconds and then repeat with the other leg.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Calf Stretch:</b> Facing a wall, place your hands against it and put one leg in front of the other. Keep the back leg straight but bend the forward leg, stretching the calf and Achilles tendon. Hold for 30 seconds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Head Roll:</strong> Rotate your head to the right, the left, back and forward for 10 seconds each. Shoulder Lift. Alternately lift each shoulder up toward the ear for 20 seconds each and then lift both shoulders together for 20 seconds.<br />
<br />

Designers imagination and creativity evolvement will now not disctinctive between for men or women. Here are some things that mainly for women but actual used by men.<br />
<br />
1. Skinny Jeans<br />
<br />
Skinny jeans used to be for women but due to clothing company competitions, they tend to extend and expand the target market. Men.<br />
<br />
2. Hair Dye<br />
<br />
<div class="caption" id="photoCaption">Just for men has been around so long that even our dads have heard of it. But L'Oreal offers a line of haircolor kits aimed specifically at men. It's called "ColorSmart," and it only comes in three colors: Light brown, medium brown, and black. Why the "smart"? Because they're worth it.</div><div class="caption"><br />
</div><div class="caption">3. Scented Candles</div><div class="caption"><br />
</div><div class="caption">New innovations man candles. A scented candles for men.</div><div class="caption"><br />
</div><div class="caption">4. Body Wash</div><div class="caption"><br />
</div><div class="caption" id="photoCaption">Dove's Men Care line of body wash and soap claims to have "micromoisture technology" that "activates" when he's lathering up, and should be used with Dove's "active clean shower tool" for best results. The female version: "NeutrimMoisture" in the body wash.

Women were better drivers than men. In construction than men, manufacturing, in social networking, in video games. And even in getting dressed, women are faster that men. Its amazing huh!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the book writen by Dan Abrams titled "Man Down" women are better cops, gamblers, spies, world leaders, beer tasters or just anthing else. Here in Philippines, MMDA (Metropolitan Manila Development Authority) now hiring lady bus drivers to the fact that women are more vigilant and cautious than men.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Women live longer than men for at least five years. This is based on behavior and genetics that women have strong immune system. Men are more expose on risk and vices. Men are risk takers than women, in fact car accidents due to drank drivers pointing out to men.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the field of medicine, higher percentage on misconduct or incompetency are men. In US, male physicians are likely to be sued than women.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, what field that men better than women? Men are better in parking. Better dieaters. Have a better distance vision and read maps better. Men biggest problem is that they are over-confident while women are lack of self-confidence that they can do better than men.</div><br />

Before I leave for work, a cup of brewed coffee will do to energize. To some, coffee is not good for health but some research revealed otherwise. It lowers the risk of Parkinson's disease and Type 2 diabetes. It mediates depression. But the benefits are dose-related. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A controversial issue that coffee increase bone losses. No concrete evidence or studies made that drinking coffee lose calcium in the bones. Moreover, it will not losen your weight since caffaine will not increase your metabolism.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Is coffee increase blood pressure? No, but i will in just few minutes right after you drink coffee. But to those who cannot control the amount of coffee intake in a day, its good to avoid at all. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anything in excess and abusive is not good anymore.

What to do?<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Base on research, 10% have problem with insomnia. This is very frustrating that hour an hour you are staring in your ceiling until dawn. Its hard what to do next and how to fix this problem. Here some things you should do to counter insomia:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Don't Look at the Clock</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Constantly checking the time will only arouse you and reinforce the idea that you'll "never" get back to sleep. Put your clock under your bed or put it inside your cabinet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Don't Sit in Bright Light</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Keep bright overhead lights switched off, because light disrupts the production of melatonin—a hormone that regulates sleep—in your brain.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. Don't Stay in Bed More Than 15 Minutes</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's important to remind your brain that your bed is for sleeping, not for lying awake and worrying. Leave your bedroom and do something quiet, such as reading a book or watching boring television in a comfortable chair.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Don't Do Anything Too Stimulating</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Find something that occupies your time but gives your brain a break, such as knitting or a boring book or TV show. Reading whodunits or balancing your checkbook, on the other hand, may keep your mind working and alert. </div>Emelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09549403845504099233noreply@blogger.com0
