Baby Massage: A Cure for Colic
Colic hurts. Any parent who has an affected child will know that there is almost no pain like it – the physical and vocal response to the problem can be highly tiring and its very difficult to stand by and cope as a parent. It’s often tough to ask – what the hell is going on inside my baby?! When the problem arises, as it’s so common and many health visitors expect parents to be aware of the nature of the affliction and how to deal with it.
The fact is: NOBODY knows what colic is, it was thought for a time to be a intestinal problem, and related to trapped wind, but the only thing that even the medical profession know about the cause of such pain is that is causes up to three hours of crying a day, for more than three or four days a week. Your baby isn’t alone either: 20% of children, males and females, suffer colic as infants; usually when they are but a few months old. Apart from the application of gripewater: a, shall we say, interestingly flavoured product; there was for many, many years no cure for this elusive problem…. Until now…
Many parents instinctively rub their children when they are in pain. We all know that, just as we need to massage our limbs when we get cramp, they need physical stimulation so that blood flow and wind movements can be righted. Baby massage allows for intense and structured contact with colic afflicted babies – and has been accredited to the dissolution problem completely.
Flowing from the head to the toes, this specialist form of massage sees babies have full, much needed skin to skin contact with their caregiver; a soothing prospect for those suffering pain. A particularly encouraged technique for parents of colicky babies is the stomach massage, which sees the masseuse rub the babies belly in a gentle, circular motion beneath the rib cage, an action that encourages the correct movement of digested food through the body.
Classes teaching baby massage techniques are available worldwide, as many families have now begun to reap the benefits of the special, quiet times massage allows them to spend with their children. The BBC recently ran an article on the enriching quality of the exercise for mothers who have suffered from post-natal depression and their babies, noting that the bonding process can be strengthened by the intimacy of massage. It has also been suggested that the strong bond developed naturally by the exercise can prevent behavioural disorders later in life, and that the muscle stimulation involved can see children sitting, and even walking much sooner.
Available at a number of Sure Start centres in the UK, baby massage provides at last a positive solution for parents suffering the effects of a colicky child. Righting sleep patterns and ending infant anxiety, it is perfectly simple, and the perfect solution to a huge number of childhood ailments.

No Pain – No Gain
Is it true that the body will always try to heal itself?
Yes it is!
If given the chance, the body will always try to restore itself to
normality – health being the norm.
However, if there isn’t enough vital energy left within the
organism it will still attempt to heal itself – but will expire in
the trying.
As a final example – the ‘death rattle’ may be construed as the
last effort of the body to mobilize it’s resources.
Now! – here’s the substance of to-day’s article.
The healing process that the body undergoes in order to maintain
its equilibrium is not always a pleasant experience.
In fact – I can’t say that I’ve ever gone through a ‘healing cycle’
that I would consider ‘comfortable.’
The very act of;
- Raising the temperature,
- Bringing the toxic wastes to the depurating organs,
- Eliminating said toxins and
- Resting and recuperating
causes the patient a degree of stress and discomfort.
I guess this is one of the reasons that people choose the ‘easy
way’ out – thinking that by taking a medicine there will be no pain.
But we all know – there is no gain without a bit of pain – so if
you get sick – be prepared for a bit of discomfort.
It won’t be anything that you can’t handle if you are prepared.
Simply adjust your schedule to allow for an adequate period of
bed-rest and know that after a short period of inactivity you will
be on top once again – fighting fit and ready to take on the roles
that you have assumed in your life.
And here’s the kicker!
By adopting a natural lifestyle you can circumnavigate most of the
trials and tribulations associated with disease and its subsequent
discomforts.
All the best in choosing the smart way to health and happiness.

3 Supplements Proven to Fight Fatty Liver Disease
The condition “fatty liver” is exactly as it sounds – an excess of fat in the liver cells. Among its many other duties, the liver is responsible for cleaning and filtering the blood to increase circulation, and this buildup of fat impedes its ability to do so. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (also referred to as NAFLD) has become the most common liver ailment in the United States.
Fatty liver is caused by a number of factors, including obesity and high blood sugar, and can cause more serious conditions such as diabetes and cirrhosis. Those who are obese and maintain a sedentary lifestyle are often at a higher risk for both NAFLD and diabetes. While there currently aren’t medical treatments available, you can take steps to protect yourself from this condition by adding a few valuable supplements to your daily nutritional regimen.
Omega-3 fatty acids can provide much-needed health benefits, such as reducing pain and inflammation, and even lowering a person’s risk for developing cardiovascular disease, something that’s important to everyone, but even more so to someone with fatty liver disease. Southern Ginseng is another supplement that can offer support for NAFLD, as it has been shown in studies to reduce liver enzyme levels.
Quite possibly the most important nutritional supplement for supporting and protecting the liver is milk thistle (silymarin). Clinical studies have demonstrated milk thistle’s ability to protect liver cells by acting as a detoxifier and blocking the entrance of harmful substances, as well as reducing enzyme levels. Silymarin has even been known to slow the progression of liver disease. Silymarin has recently been gaining recognition for it’s cholesterol-lowering properties, reducing the risk of heart disease and helping to increase blood circulation.
For anyone with fatty liver disease, supporting your liver with nutritional supplementation will assist in increasing liver function. In addition to incorporating these supplements into your diet, you may wish to consider a gradual weight loss program to minimize the extra stress to your liver. Learn more about liversupport.com/wordpress/2006/10/3-supplements-proven-to-fight-fatty-liver-disease/ Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and what you can do to protect yourself.
Sleep Deprivation Could Ruin Your Life
Sleep deprivation could rob you of your business or in extreme circumstances your life. End insomnia and sleep problems and you will find success.
To succeed in all we do it is essential that we care for our health. The most important area for this is how we relax, manage our time and vitally, sleep.
As the pressures of work or business building mount there is always a threat that sleep deprivation may affect performance and lead to a build up of stress. To avoid this there are number of fairly simple things we can do to ensure the bliss of a good nights’ sleep.
No more tossing and turning, dropping off just as it’s getting light, dragging yourself out of bed, worn out and drained of energy from lack of sleep.
After a stressful day some alternative activity is always a good way of winding down and freeing the mind from the mass of conflicting thoughts which can affect our ability to sleep.
There are techniques that work very successfully. They enable us to fall asleep quickly, enjoy hours of health-giving, refreshing sleep.
What are the issues that can cause sleeping problems. I have always (most of the time) been able to sleep fairly well. However there have been times when under great pressure managing change and stemming losses in a number of businesses when it has been very difficult to avoid becoming short of sleep.
Alcohol and drugs are NOT the answer.
I am also fortunate that I can ‘cat nap’ and ‘power nap’. This is invaluable when carrying out overseas work where the hours can be long and sleeping soundly, usually after a late meal, in hotels is not easy.
Despite being fortunate in generally being able cope I have been through acute periods where I have suffered from insomnia and not only is it a vicious cycle that is difficult to break it does lower performance.
Regular exercise, good eating habits and regular holidays are all essential if we are to avoid sleep deprivation.

Getting to the Root of Nutrition: The Pillars of Nutrition
What are we made of? While this may seem like a simple question, the answer is essential to the study of nutrition. Over hundreds if not thousands of years the study of nutrition has aimed to break down the different compounds from which the body is made and to understand where they came from. The simple fact is that the entire human body is made out of food and water and to a lesser extent air and light. The things that do not fall into these categories may be toxins and actually cause a burden to the structures and functions of the normal body. Many toxins are added to our food today and you may be surprised by what some of them are. Knowing what supports correct bodily function and what burdens it can help you make better choices about your lifestyle and your diet and the result is an improved level of wellness.
Understanding that from the very beginning you were and continue to be made out of the compounds found in food and water, nutrition and the study of it is obviously primarily health care and neither alternative nor complimentary. Nutrition is the most fundamental aspect of life.
What makes the food that makes us?
First we have the so-called “pillars of nutrition.” These are also known as macronutrients because they take up the largest portion of the food, apart from water which makes up a substantial portion of any food.
Protein
Fats
Carbohydrates
Just like the basic parts used to make a car, these parts are all required for life and in a ratio of about 30% protein, 20% fats and 50% carbohydrates.
The quality of each of these pillars is very important. After all, do you want to be made from high quality parts or low quality parts?
Protein is composed of twenty different amino acids. In adults there are eight essential amino acids. Essential means there is no way for your body to get these building blocks other than through your diet. With children there are ten essential amino acids and premature babies require eleven amino acids. Again, they cannot get in these other way than through diet.
Meat from animals contains a complete profile of the essential amino acids, but some erroneously believe that vegetarians have a difficult time getting enough protein in their diets. Protein is a basic building block in all life and vegetarians eating a reasonably varied selection of foods not only get complete protein support, the protein from plants tends to be easier to digest and does not cause a build up of toxins like uric acid in the kidneys as is the case with all animal protein.
Modern diets tend to have the least amount of high quality essential fats but large amounts of low quality and harmful fats. These essential fats are found in foods such as flax seed, fresh nuts, avocados and certain types of fish. Processed foods and red meat contain saturated fats and trans fats which are neither essential nor beneficial.
The essential fats not only assist the body in the management of inflammation and other bodily processes, they make up some critical structures in the body as well. Over 50% of the mass of a healthy brain is composed of these essential, unsaturated fats.
A word of warning: have you ever opened a jar of raw nuts and discovered the smell of “oil paint”? This is a sign that the essential fats have gone rancid. Throw this food out.
The final pillar is the much maligned carbohydrate group. These foods provide energy as well as fiber to the diet. Fiber is found in most plants and is not considered a nutrient, but it is important for normal bodily function and waste elimination. Fruits and vegetables provide the best source of carbohydrates and varying amounts of fiber. Grains also provide beneficial carbohydrates as long as they are whole and are an excellent source of fiber. Refined grains provide the lowest quality source of carbohydrates and in excess may now only lead to unwanted weight gain, but also an increased risk of diabetes, and heart disease.
These three pillars of nutrition are very important and provide the bulk of any healthy diet. For hundreds of years, they were considered to be the only components of nutrition in food. That all changed as research moved forward in the late 19th and early 20th century.
In the next article, we will peer further into the essentials of food.

Wheelchair Accessories for Comfort and Convenience
Wheelchairs are available in various shapes and sizes with plenty of options that allow a wheelchair user to find the exactly what they need. Wheelchair accessories are designed to provide greater comfort and convenience not only in the use of the wheelchair but also in performing daily activities.
One of the most important wheelchair accessories is a seat cushion. Make sure to get one that will fit your needs exactly because a poor choice can result in pressure sores as well as encourage incorrect posture that can lead to all sorts of neck and back problems.
A good cushion should support the correct sitting posture, which may be critical for people with neuromuscular diseases or difficulties in swallowing. In general, good posture aids respiration and circulation which is why choosing a seat cushion carefully is important.
While wheelchair accessibility is a usual consideration for most public buildings today there are still many places that have not yet made any changes to their structures to accommodate wheelchair users and, of course, private homes are usually not wheelchair accessible. Fortunately, there are wheelchair accessories such as wheelchair ramps that have been designed to help the wheelchair user to get to where they need to be.
These wheelchair accessories are also what a person on a wheelchair user needs to get in and out a vehicle or to go up a stairs. A wheelchair lift, on the other hand, carries the wheelchair from one floor to an upper floor. Hydraulic lifts offer a smooth ride and works even during a power failure. Electrical wheelchair lifts cost less but are also comfortable. Make sure to get one with an emergency back-up system for use in a power outage. There are also stair lifts and automotive lifts.
As you can see there is a wide selection of modern wheelchair ramps and lifts but with a little patience you would be able to find wheelchair accessories suitable to your needs.
Some more wheelchair accessories that you can purchase include wheelchair restraints to secure the wheelchair when being transported in a car or van, mounts for laptops and other devices, adjustable hand control, voice-activated controls and wheelchair covers and locks.
Other practical wheelchair accessories include support devices to aid in sitting, slip prevention, head support and leg elevation as well as back cushions, hand gloves and protective padding for legs, arms and elbows.
All of these wheelchair accessories will provide wheelchair users more comfort, convenience and security and will, ultimately, enhance their quality of life.

Treadmill Money-Saving Shopping Tips
Treadmills are often used in the home to save time and avoid the expense of going to a gym. Checking out treadmill ratings and treadmill reviews are an absolute must. A treadmill can be set up in front of the television or plug it into your headphones.
There are two types of frames – aluminum and steel; steel is heavier than the more expensive aluminum, which potentially increases stability but steel (not aluminum) may also rust or corrode from sweat. Treadmill cushioning absorbs the force of your step; get good cushioning to lower the impact on your joints and ligaments. The word treadmill originally designated a type of mill which was operated by a person treading steps of a wheel to grind grain.
A heart rate monitor enables a treadmill to automatically adjust the speed and/or the incline to keep your heart rate within the most optimum zone. The more expensive treadmill models will offer a selection of preprogrammed exercise routines. A heart rate monitor is a very good, useful feature to look for on a machine.
One of the key things to remember is that the larger motors tend to run cooler and usually require less repair and maintenance. The console indicates the belt speed and other factors, such as heart rate, miles per hour, and distance. Display panels should be easy to read and straightforward to operate.
Quite a few of the treadmills available today have the ability to add an incline to your workout to duplicate running or walking uphill, thereby increasing the intensity of your workout. People, who don’t have enough room for a bulky exercise machine, may want to consider a folding treadmill; they collapse to allow for easy storage.
Keep in mind that what feels right to you may not accommodate others around you as comfortably. One indication of the likely longevity of any treadmill is to check out the length of the manufacturer’s warranty; the longer the better, of course. If you’re planning to use a treadmill purely for walking only, you’re not likely to need an expensive top-of-the-line machine.
You’ll probably want to buy a unit with a motor that delivers 1.5 to 3 continuous, not peak, horsepower. Did I mention to make sure to check out the warranty fine print; this is very important. Before buying, make sure the deck area provides enough space for you to exercise in comfort and the belt should work smoothly without slipping or sticking.
It’s best to buy a treadmill that has at least a one-year warranty. A noisy treadmill can upset other family members or roommates and even your neighbors if you live in a duplex, apartment or condominium. Your club commercial machine may be may be a good choice in a home version; you’re already familiar with its features and probably are comfortable using it.
You’ll want a treadmill with an aluminum or high alloy steel frame that’s strong enough to support the heaviest runner who’ll be using it. When you’re reading treadmill ratings or treadmill reviews, you’ll find they usually cover safety statistics, the heart rate monitor, the various merits of the interactive model and computer fitness programs and levels.
Less expensive treadmill models may be fine for walkers but may not hold up as well for regular or seasoned runners. The first thing to consider when shopping for a home treadmill is what you need it to do for you.
Be careful, because any type of jogging or running, whether on a treadmill or not, puts strain on leg and hip joints. Walking, whether on a treadmill or not, is one of the best approaches anyone can take toward physical fitness. Selections of preprogrammed exercise routines are not essential to obtaining a good workout from a treadmill, but they do help to provide motivation. As you increase your fitness levels, a quality treadmill will continue to assist your exercise needs as you progress to light jogging or to running.
With help from treadmill reviews and treadmill ratings you can find the treadmill that matches your fitness requirements at the cheapest or lowest price possible; and you’re sure to be buying from a reliable and trustworthy supplier. Home exercise treadmills can be a large investment financially and in your fitness and much thought and preparation should go into the purchase of any new treadmill. No matter what your reasons are for buying a treadmill, be sure to find one that fits your needs and the needs of your family.

How to Shift Gears, Change Careers, and Become a Yoga Teacher, Part 2
How would you pay your bills by teaching Yoga for a living? Everyone needs a certain amount of income to live on and Yoga teachers are no different. Yoga jobs may not instantly “fall into your lap.” So what can you do to make a painless transition into becoming a Yoga teacher full time?
The keyword is full time because this is a very big step. Most of us got into teaching Yoga gradually, on a part time basis, and gradually built up a student base. This is the safest way to approach teaching Yoga. You get to perfect your teaching skills, while you are an independent contractor working at health clubs, corporate fitness centers, senior centers, ashrams, or Yoga studios.
Some Yoga teachers have home businesses. You may decide to open a small studio in your barn, loft, back yard, garage, den, or a separate building on your property. This is not for everyone and does have a few drawbacks.
Some Yoga teachers may not want to give their students the “run of the house.” Also, some female teachers may feel uncomfortable with male students in their homes. Think about this scenario: When you have a home business, it is hard to separate business time from personal time.
Let’s say you decided to take Memorial Day off. Memorial Day is always celebrated on a Monday. You tell all of your students class is canceled, but one on them drives up for a Yoga class on Monday evening, at the usual time.
You have family visiting and explain that there is no Yoga class tonight. Now, you feel uncomfortable because your forgetful Yoga student does not remember it is a holiday, until you tell him or her. Do you think this could never happen? Think again, and you would be surprised how many times you may be “on call.”
Home businesses have the advantage of no commute, low overhead, and convenience for the Yoga teacher. However, the drawbacks of being expected to teach anytime can make a home based Yoga studio inconvenient. If you decide to go this route, make sure you draw the line when it comes to your personal time.
Back to getting part time work as a Yoga teacher: Many Yoga teachers gradually build their student base to a point where there is a decision to bring in a partner, limited partner, junior partner, hire an employee, jump into teaching full time, or stop at a few Yoga teaching assignments per week.
You see – The final decision is up to you, and only you know, whether you want to keep teaching Yoga on the side or expand into teaching Yoga full time.

How to Diet and Eat Great Food
Dieting is a frame of mind. When you cut down, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat well. Quite the opposite – now you have the time to market and cook and to savour every bite.
Buy the best of everything
You’re going to have more money if you’re not drinking and forgoeing takeaways. If you are reducing your food intake then you need to enjoy what you eat and drink even more. Organic vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, the best coffee, eat a square or two of Valrhona chocolate instead of a bar of dairy milk, cook a piece of organic chicken – prepare it with care on the days when you have time and have it with a salad made of rocket leaves, rather than a flabby green lettuce. Take this time to re-educate the way you cook and how you view food, rather than to resort to some colourless pink powder that passes for food.
Eat lots of salads and vegetables
Eat a green salad salad before your dinner. Don’t skimp on the dressing – you need to taste something! Make it with organic leaves and balsamic vinegar which has more flavour, and add herbs like coriander, basil or thyme. Good strong flavours so you don’t feel that you have lost out. Alternatively, eat a portion of vegetables with dressing: steamed mange toute, green beans or spinach. Or eat them raw, spinach salad is delightful, as is grated carrot with a light sprinkling of nuts and a sprinking of lemon juice.
Skp the bread
The minute the bread comes onto the table in a restaurant, ask them to take it away (politely of course!). Don’t buy bread, don’t have it in the house or anywhere near you. If you do want to eat bread, buy spelt or another wholegrain wholewheat bread. It’s much heavier in your system, and it doesn’t have the ‘loveability’ factory that soft white bread has, so you will eat less of it.
Eat soup
– When you come home from work, heat up a tin of low calorie soup and drink it. It will fill you up and you won’t be tempted to eat a bag of crisps or call the takeaway. If you have time, make soup the day before and have it ready in the fridge to reheat. This will curb your hunger pangs and you will eat less dinner.
– Add tinned cannellini or butter beans to turn it into a meal in itself (but don’t eat bread with it).
Drink lots
… of water. Drink 2 glasses of water about half an hour before you eat. It will fill you up and stop the cravings.
– Don’t bring wine or alcohol into the house – if you have to go out in the cold to get it, you’re more likely not to bother. Whatever you save goes towards an extra special bottle to drink at the weekend.
– Drink half litres of water during the day, straight from the bottle, and refill it when you have finished. Before you know it, you will be able to drink three in no time and you will be thirsty if you don’t. You will also feel very full most of the time.
Throw away the takeaway menus
You can always get more. Buy tins of soups, beans and stock up on low-fat meals that you can cook quickly when you get home. This is the danger time for ordering a takeaway. And it’s not quick – it takes less time to cook pasta than it does to order a takeaway. If you do treat yourself, order boiled rice, a starter and a side order of bean sprouts (but no main course). Or just get rice and curry sauce and bean sprouts.
Last but not least…
– When you are cooking, steam, boil, poach or grill your food.
– Don’t fry – put the frying pan in a plastic bag and hide it under the bed.
– Skin chicken, cut the fat off meat, leave out the sauces and when you are eating out, ask that the sauce be omitted in restaurants.
– Replace chips with a baked potato or salad.
– Use chopsticks when you can – it delays the amount of food you can get into your mouth, and you have to think about every bite. It also means you can eat and enjoy low-calorie rice dishes which lend themselves to chopsticks.

The Best Natural Acne Treatments – 5 Things You Can Do From Home
Acne is one of the worst things that I hate in life. When I had acne really bad I would not come out of my house unless I absolutely had to. I would always avoid going out with my friends because I was so embarrassed of my acne. Often times I would find myself ignoring my friends all together. I would ignore phone calls, emails, and chat requests because I was afraid they would ask me to go out with them. I was tired of watching everyone have fun while I was home thinking about my acne.
There are some things that you can do at home that will help your acne clear up. Natural treatments are the best treatments because they are safe. No nasty side effects and nothing that will harm your body. I will admit that these may not work wonders for you, but I will guarantee that they will help you out with your battle with acne.
The first thing that I want you to stop doing is popping your pimples. This is one of the biggest things that people do wrong. Popping pimples will spread the bacteria causing your acne to get worse. It can also push the pus further down into the skin which can lead to cystic acne. I know it is hard to do, but try to restrain from getting that ugly thing off of your face. You will be clearer in the long run.
You can also add things into your life that will help you get rid of acne naturally. You always want to drink plenty of water each day to help clear your skin. Try to drink at least 8 full glasses of water each day. This will help make you healthier and clear out the toxins that are causing the acne.
If you have a pimple that is starting to swell, a good thing that will reduce the swelling is regular toothpaste. Apply some toothpaste to the area and let it stay on your face overnight. In the morning the spot should have went down in swelling and should feel a lot better. You should also notice that the redness is down a whole lot.
As a face cleanser, you can make a cucumber mask. Make a cucumber paste and apply it to your face. Let it stand for around 15-30 minutes so that it can do its magic. The cucumber will actually provide your skin with a ton of vitamins and minerals that will help fight against acne. I usually do this at night before I go to bed.
You also need to add a lot of fruits and vegetables to your diet. They help you by getting you more water intake and provide a lot of vitamins and things that the body needs to fight acne. Try to eat as much as possible each day. You should notice that you feel a lot better and your face should start clearing up.
As an extra tip, you should try to go outside and get fresh air as much as possible. Fresh air and sun is proven to promote the healing process. Take a break out of the day to go outside and relax. This will reduce the stress which is also known to make acne worse.
