January 7th- I came home from work at around 1pm. I was very tired. It was a busy day. I was making an aisle for Valentine's Day, and all that lifting wore me out. I took a nap, and woke up with a piercing pain in my right middle back. I was alarmed. I know what pain is that and what will to follow in a few days prior to that pain. There's nothing more fulfilling than doing what God wants us to do, to continue on finding out on what else you can do in life in service to others, and to use your gifts.

Want To Be Proactive? Follow The 5 P's
Proactive people are always moving forward, looking to the future. They choose to actively engage rather than passively observe. Being proactive is a way of approaching the world. Reactive is: “I’ve got terrible abdominal pain. Maybe I’ll go to the hospital.” Proactive is: “Even though I’m symptom free, I want to live a healthy, long life. To this end, I exercise a lot and eat wholesome, non-processed foods.”
So, are you proactive or reactive in life?
Certainly, you can’t help being reactive sometimes in life. Living in the moment often means being flexible and adapting to a fast-changing environment. At other times, long-term plans must be scuttled in favour of a quick solution. Unavoidable road blocks also pop up every now and then – the kind even the most proactive person on the planet would not have been able to predict.
Proactive people exhibit five key behaviours, otherwise known as the 5 Ps:
Prediction
If you want to be proactive, developing foresight is vital. Learn to anticipate events and problems with your creativity and logic. Use your imagination and think of multiple outcomes for how an event may unfold. And don’t always count on the past being a solid predictor for the future. Keep yourself on your toes.
Prevention
Once potential obstacles are identified, the next step is to find ways to overcome them before they turn into real road blocks. A proactive person takes control of a challenge by confronting it head-on before it becomes insurmountable.
Planning
Proactive people don’t do ‘here and now’ thinking. They look ahead and anticipate future consequences for decisions taken, in a chain of events that leads to one result. Focusing on where you want to end up is key.
Participating
Being proactive means taking initiative and being part of the solution. Don’t simply react to the actions of other people. Engage with them. Make a contribution and exert influence. Relationships and on line dating with anyone should be balanced and two-way streets. Whether they meet through friends or on Dating sites Birmingham couples can often fall into lazy routines of staying in, watching films and not communicating. But now spring is in full bloom, be proactive with your partner by getting outdoors, exploring and doing something new together.
Performing
A proactive person takes action in a timely, effective manner: no excuses, no procrastination. Being proactive means taking responsibility for your actions and being careful about what steps you take. You are not just reacting impulsively to a situation or others.

Have A Healthy Heart
I am filing for a weekend off from work this week because my husband has a medical appointment at Gainesville on Friday, and we may need to stay in that area overnight. My husband is also setting up our Valentine’s Saturday night somewhere. In other words, we will not be home ‘till Sunday. I am looking forward to these days with excitement. I love traveling and I love spending the weekend with my husband somewhere that we haven’t been to. Back to his medical appointment; I am glad that my husband is very cautious with his health. He never missed any of his medical appointment which is a very good habit, and when I talk about his health, I can’t help but brought back to my mind his critical condition almost two years ago. He almost had a cardiac arrest that his parents, his sister and I have to watch him 24 hours a day after he was released from the hospital. His sister, who is a nurse, was there to monitor his heart beat and everything. We stayed up late at night and take turn to sleep.
Talking about heart problem, Health.Yahoo.net has a lot of very helpful information on everything that you need to know about health, wellness, diet, fitness and more. In fact, it is where I find the references for cardiac disease symptoms . Other than that, I also found that the most common cause of heart disease is a narrowing of or blockage in the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle.
Health is a topic that all of us are involved. You can’t say that you are healthy enough to be exempted to learn something about health. Therefore, I suggest that we should take a regular dose of health news for useful knowledge to have a healthy heart.

Bad Heartburn
I have been suffering heartburn for three consecutive nights and today. I'm glad that I am off from work today, or else I would not be productive at all. I always had heartburn when we were still in Michigan because of the kind of food that were regularly serve during dinner: lots of green pepper and tomato sauces. It has been a year ago and I thought I was through with that nightmare until these past three nights. My husband made spaghetti on the first night, I ate a lot and it attacked after an hour. The second night was pizza and again, it attacked me after an hour. Last night I made a very spicy Gambas. I don't remember a worse heartburn attack than I had last night. It felt like a powerful hand choke me on my throat and rises up to the angle of my jaw. I felt like a very tight belt was around my breastbone. Believe me, I looked like a werewolf on the strike of the midnight. .
For occasional heartburn like mine, a couple of Tums or any antacid can help. If necessary, add a couple more. It won't hurt you. Be sure to remember what kind of food that causes the heartburn and avoid it temporarily or for good (if you can). Stay in an upright position or add an extra pillow when you have to lie down.

Securing Your Baby's Future

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of CryoCell International. All opinions are 100% mine.
In my previous post, I was talking about the 4 Generations of my mama’s offspring. In the photo that I showed, four of them were there, from the great-grandmother to the great-grand daughter. In this picture are my niece, Ramelyn and her darling daughter, Gab. Her love and preparation of the future for her daughter is really obvious and with full devotion, it started right when she was still conceiving her baby.
Talking about conception, my husband’s cousin, Sara, will be due anytime next month. She is very excited since this will be her first baby boy. I would be so, too. I really pray to God that somehow we will be blessed with a baby. At least one baby. Sara have everything ready now and is looking forward to hold her baby boy very soon.
To somebody that is expecting a child, it is very important to know the miraculous benefits of saving the child’s cord blood. Cryo-Cell is no longer a stranger word to many people right now, especially to women. My mother-in-law was talking to me about that and how she had encourage every women she know to consider that.

Noseeums (No-See-Ums) Bites
The first time I came here in Florida was during our honeymoon almost two years ago. I had bites all over my legs just like this picture (this image is taken from Google Image). It started when I was trying to make pork barbeque outside. The amazing thing was that, even after a while of that day that I was outside, the bites keep going on. I figure that the noseeums sticks to my clothes and that they are around inside the house keep biting me even when I did not go outside anymore, and even if I was wearing sweat pants, too. The worse part is that, after almost two years I am still carrying the scars on my legs now. Very frustrating. I am really desperate for a way to vanish the scar very soon. Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Stem Cells Collecting For Potential Nervours System Disorder Treatment
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of CryoCell International. All opinions are 100% mine.
Worrying about my mama’s health, I happened to come across the 'Stem Cells and Development' article of April 2010 titled "Menstrual Blood Cells Display Stem Cell–Like Phenotypic Markers and Exert Neuroprotection Following Transplantation in Experimental Stroke". The article is stating that stem cells found in menstrual blood may one day be a potential source for stem cell therapies in stroke and other central nervous system disorders. Its blood-derived cells exemplify a source of “individually tailored” donor cells that completely match the transplant recipient, at least in women. The present neurostructural and behavioral benefi ts afforded by transplanted menstrual blood-derived cells support their use as a stem cell source for cell therapy in stroke. That menstrual blood that represents a novel source of stem cells is recognized in the remarkable capacity of the lining of the uterus for regeneration after each menstrual cycle. Extraction of this rich source of stromal cells is efficient and noncontroversial. In studying the cells released from the uterine lining as part of the menstrual blood, multipotent cells capable of differentiating into chrondrogenic, adipogenic, osteogenic, neurogenic, endothelial, pulmonary epithelial, hepatic/pancreatic, and cardiogenic cell.
Cryo-Cell has been popularly known for its technology in collecting potential life-saving stem cells. They are collaborating with researchers world-wide on pre-clinical studies of C’elle for potential future therapies that may possibly treat disorders such as diabetes, breast cancer and many more. Plus, the published scientific research Célle stem cells have demonstrated potential to transform into many other cell types for future regenerative therapies. C'elle in 'Medical News Today' is being featured, too. The good news is that, C’elle is being offered at a $100 discount on the $499 retail price with a special limited time offer for collection, processing, testing and 1st year storage.

Giving Care To The Body That Take Care Of Our Needs
Staying healthy is a challenging task nowadays, especially if you are living an unhealthy lifestyle. On my mother’s letter she was talking about my hives break-outs that happened few months ago, and she told me to get a blood sugar test to see if I don’t have diabetes health issue. It is normal that she would assume that I could possibly have because she has diabetes, too. I haven’t got the chance to do as what she wants me to do. I don’t know when. But I don’t believe that it could be my problem because several months ago, my mother-in-law took me a blood sugar test and the result was that my sugar blood level was below normal. But again, that was several months ago..
Maybe I should buy my own diabetes testing equipment so that I can do it on my own, and I can assist my husband on it as well. I found one in HealthFitNet.com. It has a line of products that measure fitness levels. One of their latest products is the Futrex , a body composition analyzer where it provides a direct measurement of percent body fat. There is the MedGem , introduced as a convenient way to assess resting metabolic rate (RMR) to determine daily energy needs. Another one is the BodyGem , it determines caloric needs based on RMR, occupational activity, sleep schedule and exercise. There are a whole lot more of very helpful products in their site. I suggest that you visit their website and you might find something that you need for your health and fitness watch. We need to take care of our body because it is what we got to take care of our needs as well.

Get Back To The Shape
It has been almost 5 months since we moved down here in Florida. I can’t believe how much weight my husband gained in 5 months, it is because he just learned to love eating fish, clams, oysters and mussels. He gets to eat rice very often, too. That was why almost all of his pants are becoming useless now because his waistline turns into 34 from 30. He already had purchased several pairs of pants, which I didn’t agree as the solution because I believe that if he would, he could trim down his waist. There can be a lot of ways in accomplishing it such as exercise, working out and a proper diet..
Talking about trimming down, there are a lot of easier ways to achieve it such as diet pills, lap band and tummy tuck. I believe the latter one is the most common plastic surgery/cosmetic surgery among celebrities and non-celebrities to avail the opportunity in improving their looks to light up their social life again that can possibly open doors to a lot of opportunities. Aside from social uplifting, it also plays terrific elevation in the area of their chosen career. Talking about cosmetic surgery, Tummy Tuck Beverly Hills have the experienced and skilled surgeons to give this kind of service. They had positively given their customers a life changing experience that they wished for. Visit their site for more information.

How Is Your Stress Level?
Figuring that I will be working soon, I started to think of involving myself to work out activities. The last time I worked was five years ago, and I feel like I easily get stressed out nowadays. With all those foods that I ate, especially chocolate ice cream every night, I know I need to burn out some calorie in me. I wish it is not that cold here in Florida, so that I can do some walking or biking at the park, but it is just so hard for me to do some outdoor activities in this kind of weather we have here in Florida. Indoor work out is my other option..
Talking about indoor work out, I just found out this Power 90 . It is a DVD program guaranteed to get into great shape, fat loss throughout the entire body, one area at a time, for 30 minutes a day in just 90 days. But if you want faster result, Insanity Workout could be for you. This program will have you work out at 85% of your maximum ability. The result is faster and more intensifying. It is a challenge of switching between aerobic and anaerobic intervals performed at your maximum level which will result to burn up to 1,000 calories per hour and get the results in just 60 days. And for the busy individuals, 10 Minute Trainer is ideal. This technique allows you to build a workout program to fit your needs and your schedule in 10-minute increments! It is a combine cardio and strength training simultaneously, rather than one followed by the other.
.
Cars that are not running around too much are most likely to have engine problem soon. It is the same thing with human body. We need exercise and work out to maintain our stress level. If you don’t know how and what to do, visit ExtremeBodyWorkout.com.

Considering Decompression For Back Pain
My husband had had back surgery long before we met due to his nature of work when he was younger, and up to now, he is suffering the consequence of it. His mobility is limited. He used to be so dependent on pain reliever that he came to realization not long ago that pain reliever didn’t do any better. He quit taking pain reliever with a mind set of having to live with the pain for the rest of his life..
Well, his case was not that bad though. I know a lot of people who really have to rely on pain medication for the rest of their life. If you are one of these sufferers, you may want to consider Utah spinal decompression . They are in local business around the US striving to bring about relief from pain as quickly as humanly possible. They will give you options and educate you about the available choices. Their aim is to give their patients full recovery and cure or correction of the problem using the specialized decompression therapy on overall needs for relief and a full and speedy recovery.
.
Now, that is a good report. If you are living in pain every moment of your life, I believe this service could be worth pondering upon.

Rodent-Proof Your Home
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Victor® Rodent Control. All opinions are 100% mine..
My husband was talking to our neighbor this morning. He lives a block away from us and was complaining about so many things especially the rats that said to be running all over his ceiling down to the floor all night and was bothering him. While my husband was talking to him, he had goose bumps. He didn’t want to listen but he was just being polite. He hates creepy creatures. And when my husband gets home, he told me about the story and looked up the ceiling, as if checking for any sign that rodents might be around in our house, too.
Problems like this are very easy to treat by Victor® rodent repellent. It is very effective, inexpensive, safe and easy to use way of getting rid of rats in our house. It uses high frequency sound waves to drive rodents away from our house. I understand that most parents are rather skeptical about some product for the sake of their family’s health, but if you research from their website on how ultrasonic repellents work , it will give you relief to know that it is really safe. First thing is that its high frequency sound waves emit a non-repetitive pattern to repel rodents and prevent them from invading your home and the second thing, for additional effectiveness, a distinct spike in sound (46.5kHz) replicates the sound of a dominant male rodent. Rodents are very territorial and will constantly fight to establish dominance. The sound of a dominant rodent will discourage others from inhabiting a territory.
We all know what serious problem these rats can give to us, healthwise, and nobody wants that to happen in our household. Therefore, make sure that you rodent proof your home by using Victor® Sonic PestChaser® PRO . For more load of information about ultrasonic repellents, tips and much more, please visit their website.

Enjoy The Relaxing Effect Of Massage Chair
My idea of Christmas shopping is usually two months before Christmas. I have been doing this for four years already. In this way, I have avoided the falling in long line to pay my purchases. It gave me enough time to roam around the mall to find the best deals for gifts. It saves me a lot of money. What I don’t like is that if my husband was with me in going to mall we were always in a hurry. It hurts his back if he stands or walks around too long. But the good thing is that most of the malls here have massage chairs and that is my husband’s favorite corner. He loves sitting down there and gave his back a massage. He loves it very much that he said he definitely wants to have one in our house. Well, I would be glad if that is so. The massage chair can be a relaxing way to relieve stress. It is like having a masseur right in our home..
I know what website to find it, it is in HumanTouch.com. They are the makers of massage chairs and other massage products.

Cord Blood Banking Is A Good Investment
In my previous posts, I was talking about ideas for investment. Sure enough, there are many things you can consider for investment, but here is something cool that makes real good investment and that is in cord blood banking. If you are an expectant mother, don’t let this great opportunity pass you.

My Version Of In-House Steam Bath
.
*I boiled a pot of water and place it on the floor (I used fleece blanket on the floor).
*I cover myself and the pot of steaming hot pot of water with the thick blanket and I aimed my face and chest toward the steam.
*I just let myself sweat out and stayed in there for 20 minutes.
.
Sweating is a major part of staying healthy! Sweating plays a vital role in helping to maintain our good health. It helps our body perform two very important tasks: One, it helps regulate body temperature and two, it helps your body rid itself of waste material. Sweat contains almost the same elements as urine. I know, sounds kinda nasty. But that's why the skin is sometimes nicknamed the third kidney.
.
It's estimated that as much as 30% of bodily wastes can be eliminated through perspiration. Sauna and steam baths can also be called sweat baths. Although the idea of "sweat bathing" doesn't sound too appealing, but consider this: Anti-perspirants, artificial environments, smog, synthetic clothing, and a sedentary lifestyle all help clog up your skin pores and inhibit the healthy flow of sweat.
Yeast Imbalance?
.
I just come across this website, Threelac.com, and after reading a bunch of very helpful information from their site, I come to realize that it could be possible that I may have yeast imbalance. They stated that antibiotic in-take wipes out and remove all the bacteria from our system, both good and bad, which throws off the natural balance. This explains my irritability, acne, skin rashes and headache.
.
And that is how they come up with these natural solution; threelac probiotic dietary supplement. It helps to reintroduce good micro flora into you intestinal system in order to reestablish a healthy balance of bacteria in your body. In each packet of ThreeLac there is 1.5 billion live bacteria to promote intestinal health. The special formula includes three very effective mircro flora: Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecalis. An imbalance can also cause an over growth of bacteria, fungi and yeast, specifically Candida albicans. It’s the overgrowth of fungi and Candida albicans that can cause various issues.
.
If you have some problem similar to these, (or some physical problem that you don’t understand), I suggest that you visit Threelac.com. I guarantee that there are a bunch of things that you will learn from their site.
