Ever since we were little most of us were taught that someone who has white teeth has them because they have continuously brushed their teeth and as a result they are now white and healthy. If you have done a little bit of research regarding the field of dentistry that you know that brushing your teeth at least three times on a daily basis does make a difference but it takes a lot more to have a white beautiful and healthy smile. <br /> <br /> <br />A phrase I am very sure you have heard dozens of times if not hundreds of times throughout your life is that you should pay a visit to the dentist at least twice a year, besides a regular checkup your dentist can remove small portions of food which are stuck in between your teeth, is our very hard and nearly impossible to reach by simply brushing your teeth and flossing. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In addition, your dad this is also able to detect many forms of diseases which start in the mouth for instance, if you have a gum disease and you suffer from diabetes and it is important that you have your gums treated first, this will make it easier for the diabetes to be controlled, the same can be said of people who suffer from cardiovascular conditions and have some sort of periodontal disease. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Teeth whitening <br />Many people are concerned about the appearance of your smile so they focus on the shade of white that they want to achieve, the only problem is that teeth whitening can be somewhat expensive if you don't have a dental insurance, in order to address this issue companies which manufacture toothpaste and oral health products have also started to sell items which will help you get a brighter smile after using their products constantly. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Those who don't want to invest a lot of money in teeth whitening can try the following method, grab a piece of charcoal (charcoal is burned wood which is used to start a barbecue fire) then grab a toothbrush and start brushing the charcoal onto your toothbrush becomes black, then proceed to dip your black toothbrush on some baking soda, only dip the strings of the toothbrush, not the entire head of the toothbrush, quickly submerge in water the strings of the toothbrush which had baking soda, and lastly proceed to brush your teeth with the same toothbrush, after you have finished brushing your teeth with the charcoal and baking soda mixture continued to brush your teeth with regular tooth paste. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Charcoal plus baking soda makes a powerful combination which can help you whiten your teeth in just a minute. When you aren't looking for charcoal though make sure that it has no chemicals, charcoal which is sold at stores normally have a certain degree of chemicals which help keep their shape as well is maintained a fire going at a steady temperature. When it comes to charcoal for teeth whitening make sure that you go all natural, also did not repeat this process more than once every week.

Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburg’s Cancer Institute was sent to faculty and staff urging immediate precautionary measures.<br />The tumor immunologist’s words are grabbing widespread attention because of his professional position and because they contradict numerous studies that don’t find a link between cancer and cell phone use.<br />“Recently, I have become aware of the growing body of literature linking long-term cell phone use to possible adverse health effects including cancer,” he says. “Although the evidence is still controversial, I am convinced that there are sufficient data to warrant issuing an advisory to share some precautionary advice on cell phone use.”<br />Here are the 10 major suggestions he made:<br />Do not allow children to use a cell phone, except for emergencies. The developing organs of a fetus or child are the most likely to be sensitive to any possible effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields. While communicating using your cell phone, try to keep the cell phone away from the body as much as possible. The amplitude of the electromagnetic field is one fourth the strength at a distance of two inches and fifty times lower at three feet. Whenever possible, use the speaker-phone mode or a wireless Bluetooth headset, which has less than 1/100th of the electromagnetic emission of a normal cell phone. Use of a hands-free ear piece attachment may also reduce exposures. Avoid using your cell phone in places, like a bus, where you can passively expose others to your phone’s electromagnetic fields. Avoid carrying your cell phone on your body at all times. Do not keep it near your body at night such as under the pillow or on a bedside table, particularly if pregnant. You can also put it on “flight” or “off-line” mode, which stops electromagnetic emissions. If you must carry your cell phone on you, make sure that the keypad is positioned toward your body and the back is positioned toward the outside so that the transmitted electromagnetic fields move away from your rather than through you. Only use your cell phone to establish contact or for conversations lasting a few minutes, as the biological effects are directly related to the duration of exposure.For longer conversations, use a land line with a corded phone, not a cordless phone, which uses electromagnetic emitting technology similar to that of cell phones. Switch sides regularly while communicating on your cell phone to spread out your exposure. Before putting your cell phone to the ear, wait until your correspondent has picked up. This limits the power of the electromagnetic field emitted near your ear and the duration of your exposure. Avoid using your cell phone when the signal is weak or when moving at high speed, such as in a car or train, as this automatically increases power to a maximum as the phone repeatedly attempts to connect to a new relay antenna. When possible, communicate via text messaging rather than making a call, limiting the duration of exposure and the proximity to the body. Choose a device with the lowest SAR possible (SAR = Specific Absorption Rate, which is a measure of the strength of the magnetic field absorbed by the body). SAR ratings of contemporary phones by different manufacturers are available by searching for “sar ratings cell phones” on the internet. </div>

Cotisol is directly to toxic to neurons. It actually destroys hippocampus cells resulting in loss of the ability to voluntarily recall previously learned infomation.<br />There have been tests and scientific trials about how one can best maintain memory and prevent the loss of thier cognitive skills. While the result of this tests may not be all that encompassing, few items have been consistently observed for the roles they play in boosting or bringing about the deterioration of your brain. Puting these items into your daily habits can prevent memory loss from happening to you.<br />The secret of memory improvement may be some thing you already know is good for you, Stop searching for that secret suppliment magic pill that promises memory improvement as you age. Studies show that one of the best thing you can do for your memory improvement is physical exercise. In case you need one more reason to get off the cough , reseachers have found that exeercise can increase your brain power.<br />Help put off normal aging-related memory loss and perharps, vevn prevent demential(significant loss of intellectual abilities) and alzheimer's disease. Its long been known that exercise is good for your heart, but now it seems whats good for your body is also good for your brain.<br />Exercise increase blood flow to your whole body body, includng your. and exercise seems to slow the loss of brain tissue that typically begins in your 40s. Normal aging process can make it difficult to recall certain facts, normal aging also makes multi-task more difficult for instance , you may need to stop between tasks and and remenber what u were working on rather than seamlessly switching back and forth. Studies have found that exercise seems to delay or sometimes prevent these specific aging-related changes in your brain.<br />More than 60 percent of adults do not exercise according to survey by the Centres for Disease Control (CDC). That's a big mistake since an impressive line of reseach suggest that exercise promotes the area of the brain responsible for some aspect of memory. Neuroscientist Arthur kramer and colleaques at the unversity of ILLINOIS, U.S.A. found that after six months poeple who are over sixty years who exercised three times a week for an hour had the brain volume of poeple three years younger. In 2006, the annals of internal medicine reported a six-year project involving 1,740 poeple and over 65 of this figurewho had moderate exercise had redused risk of demential. So get your heart pumping by huffing and puffing to bring more blood and your oxygen to your brain.<br />Nutrition as also been found to mitigate memory loss in aging adults , it has been proved over and overagain that eating vegetables can help in inhibiting the dying out of countless neurons in your brain, hereby helping you are so old that you can not remenber how much your first pay check was.<br />sure when you are growing old, you are becoming more forgeful and you are forgiven for it. But would you be senile than beign mentally active ? Brain experts and nutrictionist haver linked vegetables particularlly with improving cognitive skills in adult of at least sixty years of age. Apart from the greens, good cholesterols found in fatty acids, like Omega-3 can promote the overall health of your brain.<br />Omega-3 is abundant in fish like salma and tuna. bad cholesterol(s) as they are widely been preached against as they are responsible for clogging artilerries and developing vascula disease that lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. but because of vascular congestion, the brain may experiance multiple infarctions or dying out of cells due to deprivation of blood which might be characterised by degradation of intellectual functions.<br />Smoking is another factor that could bring down the memory. statistically, poeple who smoke perfom poorly in tests that guage memory skills; they also lack the thinking abilities, that can be readilly exibited by poeple who do not smoke cigarretes . Diffrent studies have also shown that heavy drinkers os ahcohol can experience impairment of their memory abilities, not to mention motor skills.<br />Even if you are the most intellegent human biegn on the planet , your cognitive skills amd memory abilities can diminished if you stop interacting with other poeple. being content with lonesomeness for most of the time, may bring you at increased risk of loosing intellectual abilitie. scientist have found that social interaction can diminish stress level and allow you learn new things-two aspect that can boost your brain.<br />One more thing you need to do to help slow down age-related memory loss is to never stop thinking. think of your brain as a muscle. The more you exercise it, the harder and stronger it becomes. In this view, all the basic learning processes that you used since chilhood can actuallylend you a big hand in maintaining or improving your mental capacity. Reading books, writen stuffs, learning new skills and even playing intelligent games ( like chess and scrable) can be considered as effective exercise for your brain. These simple processes can lower your chances of suffering from dementia or even mild forgetfulness

Handshakes more dangerous than kissing!

In addition, an unwashed hand also spreads more diseases than other modes of welcoming guests, such as kissing, reports Sade Oguntola.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Everyone knows proper washing of the hands is important to ensure clean hands, which is also a way of stopping the spread of infections. Several studies have even showed that hands are the single most important transmission routes for all types of infections. But the act of washing our hands cannot be said to be foolproof as studies on hand washing suggest many people are still ending up with germs, particularly those spread by faeces, on their hands after leaving the bathroom or caring for a baby. Doorknobs, bathroom faucets and toilet flush handles are key sources of germ transmission in the home.</div><br /><div>One study that looked in homes of infants recently vaccinated against polio, a virus known to be passed out in the baby’s faeces, found the virus on 13 per cent of bathroom, living room and kitchen surfaces. While the virus from the vaccine didn’t pose a health risk, the study showed how faeces-borne viruses can travel through the home. Equally another study found that in homes where salmonella cases had been diagnosed, the bacteria were still lurking in toilet bowls three weeks after the outbreak. Water splashing on the toilet seat was a source of contamination.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Germs are normal and they are everywhere. There are times and places for rigorous hand washing, like hospitals, if you are sick or immune-compromised, or if you are working with someone who was rude enough to come to work sick. Quite unlike what may be expected, the chances of contracting germs is yet higher through hands that were not thoroughly cleaned than even in sharing a kiss.According to a report by International Scientific Forum for Home Hygiene, the possibility of people passing on an infection by shaking someone’s hand is even higher than in sharing a kiss.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>A team of international researchers has carried out a study and found that people who greet each other with handshakes are more likely to pass on germs, such as flu and stomach bugs, than those who settle for a kiss. The study, funded by the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene, came to the conclusion after analyzing the effects of handshakes and kisses on a group of people, according to media reports.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>According to the lead researcher, Prof Sally Bloomfield of the London School of Hygiene, “Shaking hands is the main form of physical contact with each other but you don’t know what the other person has been touching before you greet them. People avoid kissing each other when they have a cold, but in fact they are more likely to pass on an infection by shaking someone’s hand.”</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Given that the hands are critical in the chain of infection as they transmit infections from surfaces to people and between people, the study emphasized that people must always remember that good hygiene is more than just washing our hands.</div><br /><div>Similarly, another report compiled by a group of hygiene experts from the United States and the UK published in the American Journal of Infection Control, has recommended that we have to pay greater attention to good hand hygiene if we have to avoid catching flu, tummy bugs or protecting ourselves from disease causing germs. It suggested that in the event of outbreak of diseases such as flu, good hand hygiene should be the first line of defense during the early critical period before mass vaccination becomes available.</div><br /><div>According to the researchers, good hygiene at home also means fewer infections, which means fewer patients demanding treatment at hospitals, and fewer resistant strains developing and circulating in the community. They said that people often put their fingers in their mouths carelessly and even end up forgetting to wash their hands before preparing foods too. They said that stomach germs can be passed on to other persons via this route.</div><br /><div>The authors said that breaking the chain of infection from one person to another depends on how well people wash their hands. If they do not do it properly, washing with soap and rinsing under running water, then it is like they did not do it at all.</div><br /><div>The report warned that good hygiene is beyond just washing our hands. Although the hands are the main superhighway for the spread of germs – because they are the ‘last line of defense’, surfaces from which the hands become contaminated, such as food contact surfaces, door handles, tap handles, toilet seats and cleaning cloths also need regular hygienic cleaning. Clothing and linens, baths, basin and toilet surfaces can also play a part in spreading germs among family members in the home.</div><br /><div>Dr. Fayefunmi, a consultant medical microbiologist at the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan, however, said that the act of kissing and handshake couldn’t be compared in terms of one’s chances of contracting infections from the two acts. According to him, there are many microorganisms in the mouth and so there is the possibility of transmitting many infections from the mouth, including HIV.</div><br /><div>He said both the act of kissing and handshakes have different associated factors that can increase a person’s chances of contracting an infection. “Supposing after using the toilet and the next thing you do is to put your hand in your mouth, all the germs from the body can be transmitted into your mouth and this could cause infections. </div><br /><div>Then whoever enjoys deep kissing should ensure his or her partner does not have sores in the mouth as this could cause infections.He explained further that the two could not be compared because contracting diseases from either of the two acts depends on other factors such as the type of germs, the severity of the organism or the population of the germs on the surface of the hand or in the mouth and the immunity status of the individual. For example somebody that is diabetic or with cancer, the immunity will be so low and can pick up any infection easily. The statement that you can catch infection from handshakes and kissing is correct, but the risk of catching infection through these two means are not comparable.</div><br /><div>Mrs. Agnes Ewete, Assistant Director, Infection Control Unit of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, acknowledged that hand washing is a tradition that everybody practises but which they do not know its importance, stressing that, it is the beat way of controlling the spread of infections.</div><br /><div>According to her, “People must see their hands as objects that can carry germs from one place to anther and to other individuals. Once they understand this, they will understand the need to wash their hands better and more frequently. They will realise the need to apply soap and rub their hands very well to ensure they are properly cleaned.” </div>

Most of us eat too much and exercise too little. No wonder, then, that obesity in America is a major public health problem. In recent decades, obesity has increased among men, women and children, across all age groups and within all educational levels and races.<br /><br />After smoking, obesity is the leading lifestyle-related cause of disease and death in the United States. And a growing number of Americans are putting themselves at risk. According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) between 1980 and 2000, the number of obese adult Americans increased more than 50 percent. The increase in the number of overweight young people has been even more dramatic, as the number of overweight children and adolescents in the United States has tripled. And among African-American adults and children, obesity is particularly rampant. What's going on here? </div><div><br />The simple answer is we are in the midst of an epidemic, one that threatens the well-being of millions of Americans. Obesity is a dangerous precursor to numerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers. In children, being overweight leads to hypertension, sleep apnea, gallbladder disease and bony abnormalities, particularly of the legs. Type 2 diabetes, formerly called adult-onset diabetes, is now occurring in adolescents. </div><div><br />There is no magic bullet or simple solution to this problem. Tackling obesity--and overcoming it--requires a multitiered response. But we can start with ourselves--taking a hard look in the mirror and evaluating what we personally can do to eliminate obesity as a health problem.<br />We know that good nutrition and regular exercise (the recommended amount is 30 minutes a day) are vital components in the fight against obesity. Just making small changes can go a long way toward maintaining a healthier weight. For instance, instead of choosing a bag of potato chips for a snack, try some carrots. Instead of eating a candy bar, enjoy a nutritious orange. Instead of sitting in front of the TV for several hours and snacking on sugary treats, take a walk, ride a bike or jog in the park. Rather than riding the elevator, use the stairs, when possible. The cumulative effect of making these kinds of changes can help to dramatically reduce weight and enhance overall health. And the more we consciously incorporate healthier habits, the easier it becomes.<br />While some people are predisposed to being obese, because of their genetic make up, they can still significantly decrease their weight by making better lifestyle choices. So there is much that we all can do to become part of the solution, not the problem. </div><div><br />Beyond our own personal responsibility, society, too, plays a critical role in fighting obesity. Schools, community organizations and public health agencies need to work more closely in partnership to provide anti-obesity messages and activities that can be widely incorporated. We cannot afford to have the health of our children--and of our nation--further compromised. Promoting nutritious eating, exercising regularly and adopting an overall healthier lifestyle are the best weapons in our arsenal to stop the epidemic of obesity.<br />Our elders have said, "If you know better, you should do better." Brothers and Sisters, let's do better.</div>
