Athma Supplements

January 26th 2012 23:41
Every day more and more people are diagnosed with asthma or asthma-related symptoms, but not all of these people want to rely on an inhaler. I myself am one of those people.

Asthma is a new concept for me, and I hate relying on my inhaler. I've even stopped using it at times because I just got tired of having to rely on medicine to keep me healthy, but you know what? Sometimes it really helps..

Go figure.. Ha.

Supplements to Relieve Asthma

If you want to try an alternative solution to treating asthma symptoms, there are holistic treatments that you may want to consider. Just keep in mind that you should consult your doctor before completely changing your regimen.

How to Use an Asthma Inhaler

January 18th 2012 23:30
There are different types of asthma inhalers that your doctor may prescribe to you. Each one will be used differently, so you'll want to make sure that you follow the directions properly.

Diskus Inhaler- You want to use your dominant hand and hold the inhaler with your thumb on the thumb notch next to the dose counter. Slide the diskus open by pushing with your thumb, holding the inhaler steady with your other hand. When you hear a click, the medication has been released. Place your mouth over the mouth piece and make a tight seal, inhaling deeply for 5-10 seconds.

Metered Dose Inhaler- Shake the inhaler first. Exhale. Then place the inhaler in your mouth. Take a deep breath as you depress the silver canister in the inhaler. Hold your breath for 5-10 seconds.


Twisthaler- When you remove the cap, the medication is loaded into the inhale device and the dose counter will decrease by one dose. Hold the inhaler up to your mouth, make a tight seal with your lips around the tip of the inhaler, and take a deep breath. Hold your breath for 5-10 seconds and exhale normally.


These three types of inhalers are just three common inhalers. If you have a different inhaler, you need to consult your doctor for instructions on how to properly use your asthma inhaler.

Some Things Just Happen

January 13th 2012 23:29
In the famous words of Sugarland, "It Happens."

We all know that there are some things that we just can't prevent and just don't have a say so in how it turns out. We don't realize when we start a marriage that it will be a failure, and we don't plan an accidental pregnancy when in a new relationship.

In some cases, there are people where things just happen to. The events do not have to be odd or abnormal events, but these people are just prone to a life of unfortunate events.

For example, in my own life, the past two years include the following events that are just unfortunate, but not necessarily abnormal.

1. Boyfriend (at the time) cheats on me with his ex girlfriend and gets her pregnant.
2. After sticking out the relationship for a year and a half, the ex girlfriend's miscarriage, and the personal hardship of dealing with the events without the help of the boyfriend, we go on a break.
3. During said break, he gets back with the girlfriend, and I find out from his friends that he and I are broken up.
4. He moves in with the ex, now his current girlfriend.
5. During all of this, my parents decide their 29 year marriage is failing and should have ended 25 years prior.
6. My dad decides to tell me that he's seeing my best friend and they are in love.
7. When my father leaves the house, my mother decides that my dog must go with him, and I have no say-so in the matter.
8. My father and best friend buy a house together and move in down the street from my mother.
9. My mother takes all her aggression and anger out on me, and even though our relationship has always been a distant one, it's now a problem. She also makes incoherent rules about my friend driving on the street that goes by our house, even though it is the most direct route to the main road.
10. My dad breaks it to me that my friend is 5 months pregnant.
11. Now, we circle back to all those feelings and emotions from 2.5 years prior that got buried without being able to properly grieve and work through bc the boyfriend wouldn't let me (getting mad every time I tried to talk about my feelings).

Some times, things just happen and there's nothing you can do about it.

These events aren't necessarily abnormal, as they happen to many people all the time. It's just that they happened all within one span of time. My life has been this way for the past 25 years, and it gets old.

Looks that Drive Men Crazy

December 22nd 2011 16:54
It's hard to believe that some of the things that women do to make themselves more appealing, is actually just wasting their own time. Not all men are the same, and not all men like the same things, but as a female, one must be herself for herself.

Below, you'll find ten basic things that you can do that turn men on. You may be surprised at some of the suggestions.

1. Go Natural - It seems more men like women to be clean and natural, as caking on the make-up creates a false appeal that doesn't really appeal.

2. Curves - Men don't want their women super skinny and boney. Curves here and there can be quite a turn on.

3. Weird Habits are Cute - The right man will find your weird habits cute, versus irritating- twisting your hair, shaking your foot, etc.

4. Toss the Hair Dryer - Men like natural, so there's no need to spend hours straightening your hair. You don't have to have every individual hair in place.

5. Eyelashes - Thick, fluffy eyelashes that you know how to use will definitely help you get exactly what you want.

6. Legs of all Kinds - Men are men... They like legs of all kinds.

7. Unique Style - There's no need to look like every other female on the street. Being you draws your man to you, not dressing like the celeb on TV. Know your limits and wear what you like.

8. Your Scent - All people have their own personal scent. We are drawn to each other by our scent, and science has proven that we are subconsciously drawn to people by how they smell.

9. When You Ask for What You Want - When a women skips the hints and actually asks for what she wants, men tend to be more drawn. Men don't always pick up on hints, but they tend to be attracted to women who are a little blunt.

10.Career - When you're passionate about your job, and you throw on your fancy suit, you'll find that many men are attracted to the professional woman.

November 29th 2011 21:12
It's very important to ensure that you're getting enough calcium in your diet. For older people, calcium is important to prevent osteoporosis, and when you're still growing, it's important to ensure proper bone development.

If you don't drink enough milk or eat enough cheese, you can always take a calcium supplement. Even if you do drink a lot of milk, it can still be beneficial.

No matter how old you are, you may want to consider one of the following types of calcium supplements.

Talking to Men - What They Want to Hear

November 12th 2011 00:25
Men are hard to read sometimes, but there are things that they do and don't want to hear, especially on the first few dates... Before they decide if they want you to stick around.

They want to hear "then what happened" when they're telling stories because they want to think that you're interested and they want to believe that they're interesting
