How To Get Motivated To Exercise

A lot of us wonder exactly how to motivate ourselves to exercise... what is this special motivation thing you need to propel yourself out of bed or out the door and straight to your workouts?

 The motivation thing is different for all of us, so no one can precisely answer that question. But what is known is that what determines whether you get your workout done or not is your attitude. It is our attitude that determines our level of fitness and it is our attitude that will determine whether we want to sit on the couch or get out to the gym for a workout.

Management of Influenza Patients


Physically separate the patient with influenza from non-ill persons living in the home as much as possible. A separate room should be set up so that the sick person can be isolated. To set up a separate room, you may need extra bedding supplies, including sheets, towels and plastic mattress covers.

Are you at Risk?


Seasonal influenza

Everyone is at risk of getting seasonal influenza. It passes easily from person to person through droplets expelled from the nose and mouth of an infected person. These droplets can pass directly into the nose, mouth or eyes of a person who is nearby (less than 1 meter, or 3 feet, away) or indirectly when a person touches surfaces that droplets have fallen onto and then touches his or her nose, mouth or eyes before washing hands. Crowded, indoor environments may promote the chances of such transmission, which may explain the increase in respiratory infections during the winter months.

Info on the Influenza A(H1N1) Pandemic

Introduction 

What is the new influenza A (H1N1) virus that has been causing recent outbreaks globally?
The recent outbreaks of disease in people globally are caused by a new influenza (or “flu”) type A (H1N1) virus. There is a human H5N1 virus circulating and causing seasonal influenza and in the past, very occasionally, H1N1 viruses from swine have infected humans. The specific type of the H1N1 virus causing illness now is new or “novel” and in the current outbreak it is clear that this virus is able to infect humans and be passed from person to person. Although part of the virus may have originated from pigs, there is no evidence that the current spread of infection is coming from that source.

What You Need To Know About Influenza A(H1N1)

What is the influenza A (H1N1)?
Influenza A (H1N1) is an acute respiratory disease that is highly contagious.

How do people get infected?
Like the common flu, this virus can be spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes, dispersing infected droplets onto surfaces or into the air. People who come into contact with such surfaces or breathe in contaminated air can become infected. The virus has led to a deadly outbreak in Mexico. From Mexico, it has spread to other parts of the world when visitors returned to their home countries.

Previously named swine flu, Influenza A (H1N1) has not been shown to transmit through eating pork that has been handled and cooked properly.

What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of influenza A (H1N1) are similar to the common flu. These include high fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose and breathlessness. Because of the similarities in symptoms, only laboratory tests can confirm whether a person has been infected by the virus. Experts believe that like the common flu, symptoms can appear within 7 days of infection.

One in three infected people do not exhibit any symptoms. This makes containing the disease difficult as carriers or those with mild symptoms can unwittingly spread the infection to others.

What are the implications of being infected?
Influenza A (H1N1) has killed at least 66 people in Mexico and made over 2895 ill there. 39 countries have officially reported 8480 cases of influenza A (H1N1) infection.* For each person that is infected, more will be at risk. This makes it even more important to know about influenza A (H1N1) and take action against it.

Is there any cure for influenza A (H1N1)?
Reports have stated that Tamiflu, a drug for flu treatment may be effective. Authorities are also recommending two influenza neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir and zanamivir, to stop the virus from reproducing in the body. However, it is best to take precautions to prevent infection.

What precautions can I take to protect myself against influenza A (H1N1)?
Because influenza A (H1N1) is highly contagious, extra caution should be exercised. Take precautions to avoid infection by:

•Not having any close contact with people who are having flu symptoms, and practicing good personal hygiene if you have to come into close contact with them.

•Washing hands thoroughly with soap frequently.

•Maintaining a strong immune system by getting adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and exercising regularly.

If you are feeling unwell, especially if you exhibit flu symptoms, see a doctor and stay at home to prevent spreading any virus to others.

Are You at Risk for a Dangerous Blood Clot?

It's one thing to have an incurable illness—but it's UNFORGIVABLE for you to suffer from a problem that already has a simple and safe remedy!

Did you ever think that poor circulation was an illness?

No?

What if poor circulation caused a blockage of blood flow to your heart? Doesn't that count as a serious heart problem?

Or what if poor blood flow prevented your brain from getting enough oxygen? Wouldn't this cause all sorts of mental problems like forgetfulness... foggy thinking... "senior moments"... or even a serious brain disaster?

What about the scores of health problems like constant fatigue... unexplainable muscle pain... and chronic depression? What if I told you blood flow of oxygen and nutrients to vital organs and tissues of your body had EVERYTHING to do with their optimal function? Well, guess what? They do!

If sticky blood triggers these health calamities—you can bet your bottom dollar poor circulation is a serious health problem!

Renegade Blood Clots Are Extremely Dangerous!

A blood clot is your body's natural response to a cut, scrape, injury or trauma. So you know what I am talking about, let me give you a simple overview of how blood clotting works.

To stop blood loss your body manufactures a protein called fibrin. Fibrin has a thread-like appearance and quickly forms a mesh to create a plug or clot over the wound site.

Within seconds, normal clotting occurs and prevents blood loss by sealing off the damaged blood vessels.

After the bleeding danger is over, you no longer need the blood clot. So your body produces a special enzyme called plasmin to target and dissolve the blood fibrin clots.

Unfortunately, as you get older, your ability to produce plasmin and break down blood clots significantly declines.

This means your blood can build up an excess of fibrin and become thick and gel-like.
Without sufficient plasmin to break up the fibrin, it's nearly impossible to dissolve clots. And this can cause some serious health problems.

If a clot breaks free and travels through your bloodstream, it's like a renegade on the loose! You don't know where it will turn up and what kind of trouble it's going to cause you.

Since clots were never intended to be long-term occupants in your veins or arteries, they can quickly slow down healthy circulation... block blood flow to your smaller vessels... lodge in your brain, lung, or heart... and wreak havoc on your entire body!

I'm going tell you about a remarkable, 1,000-year-old Japanese nutrient that can help you restore healthy blood flow—and help you avoid a dangerous health problem.

It's An Outrage You Haven't Heard About It Until Now!

The Japanese know how to help safely dissolve dangerous blood clots—and one of them is a remarkable cheesy-like delicacy that is remarkably powerful! It's called nattokinase—natto for short.


(photo from Wikipedia)

In fact, the Japanese have been using natto for over 1,000 years. This fermented soybean product is well known for its distinct taste and unique odor. The positive effects it has on your heart and vascular system are unbeatable!

Natto is made by adding the bacteria Bacillus natto to boiled soybeans and allowing the mixture to ferment.

Natto has the uncanny ability to help liquefy blood clots and help stop them from occurring in the first place!

In other words, Natto can help:
•Improve your overall circulation—keeping your artery walls flexible and supple too!
•Maintain normal blood pressure—to help prevent your heart from overworking!
•Relieve pain and discomfort caused by blood clots—a Godsend for sleepless nights!
•Restore muscle strength—and help you regain healthy vigor!
•Enhance your body's natural ability to fight clots—and helps dissolve existing clots!

Improve Blood Pressure Fast!

An amazing "side effect" of nattokinase is that it can help normalize your blood pressure!

When you take nattokinase, you help unclog the stickiness or dangerous clotting in your blood vessels. That means less blood pressure is needed to push the blood through your arteries—and over time less problems in the vessel walls. This powerful benefit was confirmed by a blue ribbon animal and human study in Japan.

In the first part of the study, laboratory rats were given the equivalent of 25 grams of natto cheese. In just two hours, their systolic blood pressure (the top number) dropped from 166mmHg to 145mmHg.

That's a 12.7% drop simply from adding natto to their diet!

The experiment then moved to human trials. Volunteers were given the equivalent of 200 mg of natto cheese. The results?

In just two hours, their systolic blood pressure decreased, on average, from 173mmHg to 155mmHg. Their diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) decreased, on average, from 101mmHg to 91mmHg.

That's a 10.9% drop in systolic blood pressure and a 9.7% drop in diastolic blood pressure!

Clearly, if you want to help naturally prevent blood clots—and help lower blood pressure at the same time—nattokinase may be just what you need!

The "Watchdog" Power of Nattokinase...

Taking Nattokinase before you develop a dangerous blood clot is like having a watchdog guarding your precious blood.

When nattokinase enzymes detect a clot formation—they quickly pounce on it and help break up the fibrin network that causes platelets and other agents to accumulate and create a clot.

This watchdog is even more vicious on existing clots! Nattokinase enzymes encircle the site of the clot and "chew up" the fibrin network so the pieces of clot can be swiftly cleaned out of your bloodstream.

That's crucial for helping to delay... avoid... and even improve "old age" health problems such as...
•Muscle pain
•High blood pressure
•Forgetfulness and "senior moments"
•Blood sugar imbalances
•Poor vision
•Leg and muscle cramps
•Varicose veins
•Low energy and fatigue
•Swelling and edema
•Cold hands and feet

Don't Wait For a Blood Clot to Wreak Havoc On Your Health!

Pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know about it... hospitals aren't interested in helping you prevent health problems... and your doctor probably hasn't had the time to read the research about this amazing circulation booster.

You can experience the benefits of nattokinase with a unique formula available exclusively from True Health™.

This powerful, clot-busting formula contains 100% nattokinase (150mg per daily serving)—the same high quality nutrient that's been shown by scientific research to help dissolve dangerous blood clots—and even help prevent them from occurring in the first place!

The Japanese have known for centuries the total health power of natto—and nattokinase—now you know too...


Yours for healthy living,

Start Your Year Right with this Simple Cleansing Diet

The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that obesity is a major cause for the lowering of life expectancy among young adults. A correlation was found linking Body-Mass-Index (BMI) to longevity, wherein people with higher BMIs have a bigger chance of having a premature death. An obese 20-year-old white male who stands 5’10” and weighs a whopping 288 pounds has a BMI of greater than 40 is in danger of losing 13 years of his life. This would probably an extreme case but ordinary Americans numbering in the millions have high BMIs resulting to less life expectancy of about three to five years as compared to people with normal BMIs.

As expected, people will consume excessive number of calories during the holidays and this will put more people at risks. However, people can start their year right by following this quick and safe cleansing regimen during and after the holidays:

* Drink lots of water. Get at least eight glasses of water day. You will be surprised at how drinking enough water can prevent several diseases. (I will discuss the benefits of water in later issues).

* Get some fresh air in you. Stretch your legs and go for a brisk walk. Do this daily.

* Don’t get guilty with the indulgences during Christmas and suddenly starve yourself. Just eat normally with have well-balanced meals. Try to avoid nuts and milk chocolate.

* Sleep early. The body has the ability to heal itself and you can induce this by sleeping regularly at the correct times.

* Follow this rule: eat five portions of fruit and vegetable a day. Maximize your intake of antioxidants by mixing colors among fruits and veggies.

Remember, prosperity does not only mean having a fat wallet. It should encompass all aspects of our being – including our health.

Live well and prosper!
