10 Things you should stop doing

During the course of the day, you have many things to do and accomplish. You have your habits and routines, as well as other tasks and responsibilities. These are the things that you normally see on your to-do lists. However, there are things that you do on a daily basis that you actually need to stop doing. These things make use of your time and energy with no positive results in the end.


1. Wasting your time online

If you want to get anything done in real life, then you need to stop wasting your time online. You only need so much time to check, answer, and send emails. You need to watch the amount of time you spend on facebook because you can waste a whole day on it. You have to limit the time you spend surfing websites, blogs, and forums.

3 Ways to recover from stress

No matter what stresses you out, your body's response is to release the hormone cortisol. If you have a mood disorder such as anxiety or depression then you can bet that your body is also crankingup this powerful hormone.  Poor lifestyle choices like not getting enough sleep can also contribute to stress.  The question is, how do you know when the stress you're experiencing is harming you?

When we experience stress, it triggers a chemical reaction called "fight or flight" response which leads to the production of cortisol and adrenalin. This is designed to help us from perceived threats. If you always feel tense or anxious, then your body will constantly be producing cortisol and adrenalin and this can eventually lead to "adrenal fatigue".  The result can be lack of stamina, depression, increased food cravings and weakened immunity.

5 Ways to train your brain to be more happy

 If you find you're always getting distracted, meditation might offer a fix.  It can boost concentration and your ability to perform tasks, suggests a study published in Psychological Science.  Researchers measured how well people attending a meditation retreat could distinguish between lines of different lengths flashed on a screen and found that the more often and longer the subjects meditated, the better they did on the test.

Health Benefits of Forbidden Food

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

It’s a fact of life that as human beings, we typically enjoy what’s bad for us. Whether it’s calorie-laden treats like chocolate, or addictive substances such as alcohol and coffee, it’s hard to say no to our favorite forbidden foods and sweet snacks. However, it’s also typical human behavior that as soon as we deny something, we want it even more! Put an end to any guilty feelings you might have after indulging right now by reading on and seeing that your forbidden food might not be so bad for you after all…

1. Red Wine

Some researchers claim that the positives of drinking red wine go beyond cardiovascular benefits. A number of studies have discovered that an antioxidant concentrated in the skin of the grape, resveratrol, may actually help inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors. Research into the properties of resveratrol also indicates that it may be helpful in the formation of nerve cells, and so could potentially be a factor in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Tylenol (Acetaminophen)

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to let you guys know about the medication Tylenol which is a brand name for acetaminophen. It is mostly used to treat headaches or muscle pains etc. It is a very common pain reliever that everyone uses.

Since it is available over the counter and anyone can purchase it without the interference of the pharmacist, most people don't realize the risk that is associated with it.

When you are in pain, you tend to just keep on taking pain medications without reading the Dosing directions that are on the bottle. It is advised to have no more than 4000mg of acetaminophen in 24 hours. So if your taking tylenol extra strength which is 500 mg, that means you can only take 8 tablets a day.

Most people tend to ignore that and the result is DEATH!!

So the point is, always talk to your doctor about your medications and any other medications that you are taking. Also, it is better to talk to your pharmacist about the medication to ask if there are any side effects or interaction with any other medications.

Ten signs of Alcoholism

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com

If your loved one often drinks alone, or hides their drinking, then they may have a drinking problem and it may be time for you to get them to cut down or stop altogether. Drinking alone can mean drinking at home by themselves, or even drinking at a pub without a friend going with them. If they hide their drinking, you may not know of it right away so look for signs…

2. Losing time

If someone you love drinks to the point where they black out or lose chunks of time, then they almost certainly have an alcohol abuse problem. However, some prescription drugs, in combination with even a small amount of alcohol, may have the same effect. Such drugs include sleep aids and painkillers. You may want to have a look at their medicine cabinet.

3. Drinking regularly, often

Though there is no specific formula for determining whether or not someone is an alcoholic, this is the accepted standard for MODERATE use (anything MORE than this may indicate ABUSE): no more than two alcoholic beverages per day for men, and one alcoholic beverage per day for women. If you notice your friend drinking more than a glass of wine every night, it may be time for a rescue mission.

4. Building a tolerance

If you’ve noticed that it takes longer for your loved one to get buzzed up, or more drinks to get drunk, then they may be drinking so much that they’re building a tolerance. This is a good indicator that he or she is drinking more than they should, and regularly.

5. Seeing an effect on work

There are people who are alcoholics but who are high-functioning, meaning that it doesn’t have an impact on their ability to perform their duties at work or at home. But if someone’s quality of work is slipping and they seem to be more stressed out, or if they’re taking more sick days, they may be developing an alcohol problem. You may need to be concerned.

6. Seeing an effect on loved ones

Photo Credit: Kristin Brenemen
Many alcoholics take out their frustrations and depression on their loved one when they’ve been drinking. If you’ve noticed this kind of behavior, it may indicate alcoholism, and other, deeper issues.

7. Losing interest in hobbies

He used to go to the gym after work, now he goes to the pub. She used to love gourmet cooking, but now she orders take-out every night. This is another warning sign of alcoholism and of depression, which often go hand-in-hand.

8. Physical withdrawal

If you notice that someone you love suffers physically when they haven’t had a drink, then they may be going through withdrawal, which is a clear indication that they have an alcohol problem. This is different from a hang-over; this is a physical response to NOT having alcohol, not a response to having TOO MUCH alcohol the night before.

9. Not being able to stop

Photo Credit: minimalistic
Everyone else can stop after two beers, but he can’t. He has to be piss-drunk every single time he drinks. He has to drink all of the beer. He has to finish the whole bottle of wine. If he can’t stop drinking once he starts, then he most certainly has a drinking problem. It’s time to step in.

10. Getting irritable if they can’t drink

Photo Credit: theonashow3
It’s Saturday night and girl’s night out, but she can’t wait to get to the drinks. She’s cranky and irritable because she needs a drink, but she can’t have one yet. If she does this often, she may have a drinking problem. It’s time to schedule a girl’s night out that doesn’t include cocktails, and see what happens.
If you’ve read through this list and two or three of these, or more, describe your loved one, then you may need to do a little more probing to see if they might be an alcoholic. While there is a stigma to having such an issue, it’s not the end of the world. There is hope. There is treatment. Set aside time for a one-on-one, non-confrontational conversation, and be truthful. You may just save someone’s life.
