Can’t Sleep At Night

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Finding the underlying causes is key to finding a cure for this problem. It’s also been found that not eating has contributed to someone not sleeping. There are 3 types of insomnia and they are transient insomnia which lasts anywhere from a single night to several weeks, acute insomnia is the inability to sleep well for a single period of 3 weeks to up to 6 months, and chronic is deemed the most serious where it’s happening nightly for at least a month or longer.

There are options to treat insomnia the most common is medicinal since there’s commercials on for Ambien, Ambien CR (Controlled Release) , Rozerem, and Lunesta prescribed for people dealing with sleeping disorders.

It seems in this day and age that sleeping disorders are becoming more common and prevalent because with the new line of sleeping pills coming out explains clearly shows that there is an increase of sleeping disorders of many variations. Some of the medications out there that’s used in treatment of insomnia have proven that it was effective in helping insomniacs wake and sleep at the right time, but it lacks the data information to prove the theory as truth and factual. Lunesta and Ambien are noted to having a high psychological dependence than the older brands of sleeping pills and now cognitive behavior therapy is one of the many options widely used in someone dealing with insomnia and using the medication Rozerem because of the like hood of getting hooked to the drug is reduced and is widely prescribed for people who have a history of overusing their medications.

Some insomniacs have used herbs like chamomile when drunk in tea and lavender for aromatherapy as a means to relax. Insomnia can also result in a deficiency of magnesium and getting the right amount has proven to improve the quality of a person’s sleeping patterns.

Pomegranates are also good for insomniacs since there’s a nutrient in the fruit key for everything from immunity to cardiovascular health and are good for improving sleep. Insomniacs are also advised to eliminate a lot of the stress and tension in their lives because this is a triggering problem in the everyday life on an insomniac. Chinese medicine has also been introduced into helping those with sleeping disorders and other issues surrounding that. According to statistics taken from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services it’s estimated that 60 million Americans suffer from some type of insomnia and is noted to increase with age. 40% of women and 30% of men suffer from this.

Women tend to deal with this more because of increased level of responsibilities in their lives since more and more households in the United States are becoming single run homes and 75% of women are the heads of them which makes them the sole bread winners and taking on the role of mother and father which makes their lives increasingly difficult when they don’t have a partner or spouse to give them the support they need.

St. Petersburg’s Own Massage Envy Now Open

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Massage Envy, America’s leading massage clinic chain, is now open in St. Petersburg, Florida. No longer a luxury just for high society, Massage Envy brings touch therapy to all corners of the country and makes it available at an unbeatable value. The clinic, located at 5020 4th Street N. Establishment 3MM18847, St. Petersburg, Florida 33703, has been fully outfitted to cater to the pampering needs of local residents, from downtown right up to 4th Street. In fact, this massage clinic is not just for pampering, it’s also for sports rehabilitation and for expectant moms. For more details, here’s a taste of what they have to offer.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is massage therapy specifically tailored for all of St. Petersburg‘s expectant mothers’ needs. It may also be called pre-natal massage. The massage therapists at Massage Envy are careful to deal with the mother’s body. She must be properly positioned and supported during the massage, using pillows and padding. Proper positioning ensures comfort and safety for the mother and baby. Also, the well-trained and skilled therapists know very well that some massage techniques, such as deep tissue work cannot be used. Certain areas of the body should definitely be avoided during pregnancy.

Pregnancy massage has been found to reduce stress, decrease swelling in the arms and legs, and relieve aches and pains in muscles and joints. It’s a popular complement during pregnancy for back pain, when choices for pain relief, such as medication, are often limited. Not only can massage be physically beneficial, but the human touch can be comforting and provide emotional support during pregnancy. However, it is still best to consult a doctor before beginning a session with Massage Envy’s skilled pregnancy massage therapists.

Sports Massage

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts in the St. Petersburg area are regularly exposed to strenuous physical activities that constantly build up tension in muscles. It is not uncommon for sports people to often feel pain and discomfort on ligaments, joints, tendons and of course, the involved muscles. There can also be imbalances that may develop and may continue undiagnosed unless the pain and discomfort become unbearable which will need medical attention. A visit to Massage Envy’s experienced and masterful massage therapists will help in the detection of muscle tensions in the soft tissues.

In general, sports massage is used in the athlete’s preparation for a peak performance. The massage therapy is very specific and specialized for athletes, who are always subjected and exposed to tedious and strenuous physical activities. Sports massage has numerous benefits, such as: increased blood circulation, regulated blood pressure and heart rate, reduced muscle tension and improved flexibility. The lymph flow is also increased and any pain is significantly relieved. Seasoned athletes and massage therapists also know that sports massage help promote better and improved athletic performance and endurance, lower chances and occurrences of injury and shorten recovery time for muscle injuries and discomfort.

Massage Envy at St. Petersburg also offers Deep Tissue Massage (for those requiring comfort and relaxation deeper in the body), Swedish Massage (one of the more popular types of massage and frequently offered almost everywhere) and many other kinds of massage therapy. The key is deciding to take that first step and realizing that massage does not have to be a seldom enjoyed luxury but a frequent part of anyone’s busy lifestyle. Its benefits are not just for short-term relief and relaxation. Frequent visits will ensure that long-term benefits will also be felt as well.

So go ahead and give any of the Massage Envy signature sessions a try—the only complete value for money massage clinic in St. Petersburg.

7 Ways You Can Get Rid of Cellulite

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Ladies, take a good look at your legs and thighs in the mirror. Are these areas covered with dimples? You’ll probably agree that dimples that appear when someone smiles are cute, but dimples on your body are ugly!

Did you know that cellulite consists of pockets of fat located just beneath connective tissues under your skin? These fatty deposits swell underneath constraining connective tissues—giving that dreaded orange peel effect. You might be surprised to learn that even if you are slender, you can still have cellulite deposits.

It isn’t a dangerous condition, but it is embarrassing. It’s very common among adult women.

Cellulite is hereditary, so if your mother had it—you’ll probably accumulate dimpled fat deposits as well.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the formation of cellulite—such as not drinking enough water. Eating too many junk foods will also contribute to it, so be sure most of your calories come from healthy foods instead of junk food. Avoid smoking because that can result in more cellulite. Get plenty of exercise too.

Medical science constantly discovers new ways to treat a variety of diseases—including ways to fight cellulite. It’s tough to get rid of cellulite and there is no magic cure for it, but there are some treatments that just may work for you.

Here are seven ways that you can fight cellulite:

1. Include cardiovascular exercise in your exercise routine on a regular basis. Your heart needs to be beating fast enough to increase your circulation to help reduce your cellulite deposits.

2. Eat healthy foods and drink healthy drinks. For example, avoid sugary soft drinks and drink clear water instead. Don’t choose pizza and other fattening main dishes on a regular basis, but eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables instead.

3. Try different cellulite lotions or creams to see if they work for you, but check the ingredients first to see if you are allergic to any of them.

4. A machine was invented in France a while back that uses rollers and suction to gently fight cellulite. It’s called the endermologie machine and some believe that its deep massage treatment increases circulation and releases toxins from your body when your connective tissues are stretched. This method requires a number of treatments. Although an individual treatment is not that expensive, the cost can go up because numerous treatments may be required before any of your cellulite deposits disappear.

5. A treatment from Austria—called vacuum therapy— may work for you. You’ll have to wear a specially designed suit while you spend about a half an hour on a treadmill. The muscles of your abdomen will get a real workout in this method. If you suffer with a heart condition or circulatory problems, this treatment is not for you.

6. It may be that you are not overweight at all but still have cellulite deposits. If that’s the case, you might want to try the ionithermic body treatment method. This method employs thermal clay combined with electrical impulses and specially-made pads.

7. The most expensive treatment is cosmetic surgery, such as liposuction. And that’s because a plastic surgeon is required.

So there you have it—7 treatment options. So if you have cellulite, you are not necessarily sentenced to have it for the rest of your life. Because of medical research, help is available.

What? Acne and Cows Milk?

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010


“Our recommendation is that no one under the age of twelve months be fed cows milk!” –


– American Academy of Pediatrics.

They go on to recommend that infants be fed breast milk for the first six to twelve months.

Lets consider the consumption of cows milk and how it relates to acne.

At a certain age, a calf stops drinking its mothers milk. True? Certainly a full grown cow no longer drinks milk from its mother.

Why is it then, that full grown humans would drink milk from the cows mother? Maybe the calf knows something that we don’t? Why is it so hard for us to catch on?

Cows Milk And Childhood Health Concerns

Listed below are some of the major health concerns as they are related to the consumption of cows milk:

1.Allergies

2.Iron deficiency anemia

3.Lowered intelligence

4.Milk sensitivities

5.Early atherosclerosis

6.Rheumatoid arthritis

7.Dental decay

8.Infectious diseases

9.Juvenile diabetes

10.Acne

Concern number nine is most unfortunate. I would love to dig a bit deeper into Juvenile Diabetes. However, this article is primarily concerned with number ten, Acne. Yes, acne and cows milk.

One of the sad things when considering treatment for acne is this. Whenever physicians are called in, they very rarely advise dietary change. Most advocate their plethora of drugs. Many times these drugs have harmful side effects.

Discontinuing the use of cows milk would greatly improve the appearance of acne in their patients.

Pasteurization and Sterilization of Milk

One of the most prevalent misconceptions that milk consumers have is that pasteurized milk is free of all disease carrying agents.

There is absolutely no truth in this belief! None whatsoever!

The only thing I am able to concede is that pasteurized milk is safer to drink than raw milk. Its just the lesser of two bad choices.

Keep this in mind, in the pasteurization process, the milk is heated to only 160 degrees Fahrenheit. It remains at this temperature for a mere 15 seconds. It does reduce some of the infectious agents, but it doesn’t eliminate them.

Milk that is sterilized would have to be heated to at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The milk would then have to stay at that temperature for a sustained period of time.

Bacteria and viruses survive the pasteurization process and live on in milk, and are passed on to milk drinkers. These infectious agents are allowed to run amok within our bodies and their constant attacks weaken our immune system.

Our bodies are protected by a wonderful guard dog called the immune system. It is our on board ally, whose job it is to defend our bodies. All types of disease riddled bacteria and parasites are attacked and destroyed at first sight by a healthy immune system.

On the other hand, an unhealthy immune system is left exposed and unable to do its job on our behalf. A slow to respond and overwhelmed immune system leaves the back door open. We are then prone to attack by any and every disease that comes our way.

Including acne!

It is important to note, the appearance of acne signals an internal imbalance. Something is already wrong with our internal machinery. Milk, with its myriad contaminants has paved the way for acne to enjoy a free uninhibited ride throughout our system.

Remember this. The milk you feed your children today, lays the ground work for acne to surface later on down the road.

Acid Reflux Relief – How to Get Relief Today

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

There are enormous suggestions and advice you can get from different sources, mostly, on the web, about acid reflux relief. It’s up to you to weigh things carefully so that you can decide which best acid reflux relief fits right to your condition.

Here are some practical, effective and easy-to-follow ways on how to get relief today from the pain and agony caused by acid reflux syndrome.

1.    Changing your lifestyle – it’s never been too easy to break a habit but when health is at stake, that normally involves spending lots of money. Your decision to take a 180-degree turn from bad lifestyles will no longer be a battleground. With total commitment and 100% determination in your heart, it will be easy for you to follow these steps in reducing the occurrence of acid reflux side effects:

Position: The law of gravity will keep acid buildup out of its way into the esophagus by observing an upright posture at all times, especially after eating, to allow proper digestion process. After every meal, make an allowance of at least 2-3 hours before lying down or going to sleep. For some people who experience acid reflux more often at nighttime, they should raise their head 6-8 inches higher using a pillow and not with head lying flat on the same level with the bed while sleeping.

Exertion: Do not engage in any physical exertion such as exercising after finishing a meal for this can trigger the slowing down of the abdominal muscle contraction forcing the food in the stomach to travel back up into the esophagus.

Pregnancy: If acid reflux developed at pregnancy as a result of growing fetus inside the mother’s womb that crowds the stomach area, all you can do is to follow strict rules of eating habit. The proper way is to eat small amount of food every meal but not reduce the number of meals and food you eat so as not to be deprived of having good nutrition. Once the baby was born, these symptoms will immediately stop.

Others: Proper and regular exercise, abstaining from smoking, alcohol, caffeine, and by not wearing tight fitting clothes around the midsection part of your body or even wearing a belt too tight, will help you get an effective acid reflux relief.

2.    Changing your diet – To avoid pressure in your stomach, which causes acid reflux, make it a habit to eat five to six smaller meals in a frequent manner within the day instead of having three heavy meals at a certain period of time. Smaller meals are easy to digest and easily absorbed by the body without adding too much pressure on the stomach.

The other option is to eat the largest meal at lunchtime so that you can have small dinner and have no problem at all when you lie down and sleep at night. When eating always be reminded that you’re in an upright and relaxed position to allow the normal flow of food digestion.

Different food types have different reactions to a person’s body. Thus it is necessary to be aware of certain food and drinks that can trigger acid reflux and list them one by one taking note of each one’s effect to your system.

Below is a list of the common food and drinks that can trigger acid reflux symptoms:

•    Fried and fatty food
•    Spicy and heavily seasoned food
•    Onions and garlic
•    Orange juice and tomato juice
•    Alcohol
•    Coffee
•    Chocolate
•    Peppermint and spearmint

3.    Choosing a cure for acid reflux – More than getting an acid reflux relief thru   changing of lifestyle and diet, one should also consider and choose a way to cure acid reflux. It is important to consult a doctor and follow some medications in order to reverse the damage that has been done to the esophagus, as well as prevent future damage with healthy lifestyle changes.
In view of this, take note that while there are numerous acid reflux relief options available, there are treatments that bring more harmful effects to the body than getting good relief or cure when taken over a long term. The primary reason is the disruption of the body’s own natural biochemistry due to the neutralization of stomach acidity as a result of taking acid reflux medicines. Neutralizing or decreasing stomach acidity hinders proper food metabolism during digestion process. This in return is causing additional digestive system problems even worse than acid reflux.
See a doctor to seek for further professional help. Your physician can assist you in monitoring your medication progress and provide you with scientific approach of treatment, such as proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers or promotility agents. Just be proactive and transparent enough to ask questions when in doubt of something, especially when it concerns diagnosis of medications.

Amy Winehouse Tickets-More Trouble for the Talented Amy Winehouse

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Troubled yet talented U.K. songstress Amy Winehouse was admitted to a private London clinic Nov. 23, and not for the first time. According to BBC spokesperson Chris Goodman, Winehouse’s camp released a statement saying that the 25-year-old Grammy winner suffered a reaction to medication she was taking as part of her ongoing treatment (he declined to say what specific medication Winehouse was taking.) The soulful singer landed herself in the hospital, London’s University College Hospital to be exact, after she collapsed in her north London home in June. At that point Winehouse was diagnosed with early signs of the chronic lung disease emphysema. Although the singer/songwriter canceled an August show in Paris citing illness, she is working on a new album and will likely hit the road once she is healthy again. Check out http://www.stubhub.com/amy-winehouse-tickets for Amy Winehouse tickets.

Amy Winehouse was brought up by a taxi driver father and pharmacist mother on a healthy dose of jazz in the Southgate area of northern London. Although Winehouse appreciated her parents’ collection of legendary artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Dinah Washington, she nonetheless gravitated towards rebellious American R&B acts like TLC and Salt’N'Pepa. After being expelled from London’s Sylvia Young Theatre School, pop star Tyler James, who was a friend and school mate, gave his A&R her demo. As a result, Winehouse landed a contract with Island Records and the label released her debut album Frank in 2003, when she was just 20 years old. The album was an amalgam of jazz, soul, hip-hop and pop that instantly struck a chord with listeners thanks to her unique vocal delivery and knack for songwriting. Although Frank was nominated for the 2004 Mercury Music Prize and two Brit awards and “Stronger Than Me” was also a hit, Winehouse’s personal life (namely the fact that she showed up for performances noticeably drunk) began to gain just as much press as her musical ability.

In 2006 Island suggested Winehouse enter rehab for alcohol abuse but the sassy soul singer refused, dropping the label and writing the hit song “Rehab” in revolt. The single was off her critically acclaimed sophomore album, Back to Black. In 2007 Winehouse took home the Best Female Artist honor at the Brit Awards and the album was released in the U.S. shortly afterward. Despite scoring covers on Rolling Stone and Spin and creating quite a stir in the music industry, Winehouse’s personal and substance abuse problems loomed, forcing her to cancel her North American tour. The singer’s husband, Black Fielder-Civil, landed himself in jail after a pub brawl (he recently lost an appeal Nov. 24 against his assault and obstructing justice sentence) and the controversy continues, although Winehouse is reportedly working on a follow-up to 2006′s Back to Black. Universal label head Lucian Grange told BBC that Winehouse’s new material sounds “sensational” in spite of her constant personal woes. The talented yet troubled singer will likely hit the road once her new album is more finalized and her personal life sorts itself out and you have to be there.

London Film Festival: a True Celebration of Films

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

The love of films becomes a celebration in London for two weeks during ‘The Times BFI 51st London Film Festival’. The capital city is buzzing with people who love films and filmmakers from all over the world. This festival gives a chance to view films, documentaries and provide opportunity to meet filmmakers and celebrity artists. It also promotes world films that may not be available for screening in the cinemas across the nation. The festival is an important venue for development and promotion of films from UK and abroad and it showed around 184 feature films and 133 short films from 43 countries, at various venues in London. The Festival Started with the opening night gala showing David Cronenberg’s ‘Eastern Promises’ and finished with the closing night gala showing Wes Anderson’s ‘The Darjeeling Limited’, a train voyage across India. Few films from the festival are reviewed below.

Closing The Ring: Richard Attenborough/ UK-Canada

Richard Attenborough has done it again. ‘Closing the ring’ is one of the most beautiful films I have seen in a long time. This film is about the value of love and the loss of it, inability to grieve, loyalty among friends and above all, the heartache and suffering brought on by war. Shirley MacLain and Christopher Plummer have excelled in their performance. Christopher Plummer showed his adoring fans that he could still win hearts, just as he did all those years ago as the handsome captain in ‘Sound of Music’! ‘Jimmy’ (Martin Mac Cann) was a delight to watch along with Pete Postlethwaite. Richard Attenborough shows us that there is no shame in falling love and keep it live, no matter what your age is. ‘A film that touches your heart and tells you something’, that’s what ‘Closing the Ring’ does and therefore, an example of good cinema truly at its best. Question & Answer time with Lord Attenborough after the screening was sheer delight.

The Darjeeling Limited: Wes Anderson/USA

A light hearted film that tells the story of three brothers who haven’t seen each other for a year going on a train journey through the deserts of India. They are trying to bond with each other and with the beautiful but unknown conditions in India. Wes Anderson’s film brings comedy, conflict among siblings and some hilarious moments. These brothers who love each other don’t like each other very much and their odd behaviour comes as no surprise once you meet their mother (Angelica Houston), who gives a great performance along with Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson. A good laugh and a film you don’t want to miss.

I’m Not There: Todd Haynes/USA

‘I’m not There’ means just that! It’s a biographical journey into Bob Dylan’s life, portrayed by six actors, but Bob Dylan, as the title says, is not there! If you think an 11-year-old black boy, Marcus Carl Franklin, who is splendid as Bob Dylan is odd, the worse is yet to come; but that’s surely the best, Dylan played by a woman! Cate Blanchett in black and white turns up as Bob Dylan and you don’t for a moment suspect that it’s a woman. She is just magnificent and puts the other ‘Bobs’ in the shade. It’s confusing and chaotic if you are not a Dylan fan, but entertaining till the closing credits. The music however is real stuff and as the closing credits roll in, songs like the original ‘Knock knock knock’n on heaven’s door’ keeps you on your seat.

The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford: Andrew Domonik /USA

Definitely ‘a Brad Pitt film’ and everyone else fades away in the background. The film is based on the legend of Jesse James, ‘the gentleman outlaw’ who became an American icon. Brad Pitt has shown his acting ability yet again, only more so this time. He has graduated in the ‘Jack Nicholson School of acting’! A film worth watching and the cinematography is at its best. Perhaps the film would have been even better, if it did not stretch that long after the assassination of Jesse James; great film, in spite of this and not to be missed.

In Memory of Me: Saverio Costanzo/ Italy

As the film is set in Venice one expects to see at least a bit of this beautiful city; but that was not to be. The camera has eyes for the outside world only when a large ship slips by the window of the seminary. ‘In Memory of me’ is a very intense film that goes into the inner depth of spirituality and the conflicts encountered. The story is about Andrea who is accepted into a Jesuit seminary, isolated in an island. The recruits undergo very strict training to prepare them for the disciplined work that awaits these soldiers of Christ. The rituals are repeated in a methodical fashion everyday and that includes cleaning of the corridors of that magnificent monastic building. The inmates’ personality is analyzed to such an extent that they start to doubt their own spirituality and whether such mental cruelty is justified.

The silence that lingers in the magnificent corridors is mesmerizing, to say the least! We have heard of severe Mother Superiors, but the Father Superior in this film is frightening. Some find this fearsome training unbearable and decide to leave. Andrea too reaches his turning point, but finally realizes that he is made for better things and God has a purpose for him and decides to follow Him. This film is a lesson in itself in how one gives himself to God, then loose that faith and ultimately regaining the love of God and the faith. An intense film that makes one think.

Things We Lost in the Fire: Susanne Bier/USA

It tells the story of Audrey (Halle Berry), her loss and how she tries to rebuild her life after loosing the love of her life in a tragic accident. Her envious life with her husband ‘Brian’ and the two beautiful children are shown as flashback. Audrey decides to seek help from her husband’s childhood friend, Jerry (Benicio Del Toro), who is a drug addict and quite dangerous at times. Though she did not like him to be her husband’s friend in the past, she felt drawn to him now as they both had one thing in common- the love they both shared for Brian. She asks Jerry to move into the converted garage that was refurnished following a fire at the house and Audrey and the children form a bond with him. Anyone would wish to have somebody like Jerry in a situation like this, but not a drug addict though! Complications set in and the emotional turmoil in dealing with the sense of loss, drug addiction, rehabilitation and the society’s role in all this are portrayed very well.

Halle Berry has given a magnificent performance. Benicio Del Toro was dazzling and he has given his best ever. It was a delight to see Halle Berry at the screening, looking gorgeous in a brilliant blue backless gown! Susanne Bier (Director) and Halle Berry answered questions from the audience after the film: a beautiful film not to be missed.

Richard Attenborough, Wes Anderson, Susanne Bier, Saverio Constanzo, Andrew Dominik, Shivajee Chandrabhushan, Shamim Sarif, Amitab Bachan, Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, Halle Berry and Adrien Brody were among the celebrities who attended the screening of their films. It was truly a festival of films, films that touched the audience and made them think. The two weeks of the festival was a stage for meeting the best filmmakers from all over the world, listen to them and see films of extreme diversity.
