Hypertension Mantra

As I have been experiencing lower back pai n m ore intensely in the last few days, I thought I would do some rese arch on the subject. Lesson 1 Common Cau ses of Lo wer Back Pain : 1. Lu mbar strain (acute, chronic) It is a stretching injury to the lig aments, tendons, and/or muscles of the low back. The s tretching incident results in microscopic tears of varying d egrees in these tissu es. Lumbar strain is considered one of the most common causes of low ba ck pain. The injury can occur because of overuse, improper use, or traum a. Soft-t issue injury is commo nly classified as "acute" if it has been present for days to wee ks. If t he strain lasts longer than three mont hs, it is referred to as "chronic." Most often oc curs in people in their forti es, but it can happen at any age. The condition is cha racterized by localized discomfort in the low back area with onset after an event that mechanically stressed the lumbar tissues. The s everity of the injury

I have been prescribed with a statin drug last year. Fact is that prescription was made by our family physician(FP) and not by my kidney specialist who I regularly consult. The nephrologist was out of the country so I had no choice but to see the FP. Immediately after that briefing from my FP I bought the drug she prescribed. All 30 pcs of them. It cost a lot of money. The drug was veerrryy expensive. When I got home I went to the computer and made my usual googling. This is what I do when in doubt – research or google. Lo and behold. Side effects indicated that taking the drug was outrageously difficult to ignore. It showed that the drug could cause, depression, muscle problems, and may even induce alzheimer’s disease and other kidney related ailments. There was little evidence or none at all that these drugs can reduce the growth of arterial fatty plaques - the hallmark of heart diseases. In other words, people taking this type of medicine receive no benefit at all? Instead, i

This is what is called cocoa and vanilla body butter. No, it is not something to be eaten:-) but something I apply to my arms and shoulders when I get the pinch and twinge of pain at night. It smells delicious and gives an exhilarating feeling that somehow deadens the pain. Given to me by the girlfriend of one of my sons a Christmas ago. And these are the things I use when the pain feels a little unbearable. Lavender scented coconut oil to relieve the back pain and the coconut based ginger-scented balm which I use as a rub for my aching legs and toes. I am not sure why, but I get this feeling of obsessing to use my blogs to document or record most of the things happening; and what's happened in my life and that I need to complete it soon.

I am trying to learn bonsai because I would like to find out if it could help relieve stress. Simply put bonsai is the art of dwarfing or miniaturizing plants. In China, where it was first practiced during the Han Dynasty, bonsai is actually the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word penzai. Bonsai is all about cultivation and pruning techniques.It requires different approaches and strategy in watering, repotting, wiring, also propagation, care and m ost important maintenance. I am seriously considering enrollment in a Bonsai Class at the Manila Seedling Bank . I plann ed this last year but never got to doing it. I hope this year will be more fruitful. Last year, seminar topics listed in their Bonsai brochure identified the learning topics covering: - meani ng and origin of bonsai - identi fication of plant, tools, containers, potting medium and other materials - styling, shaping wiring, pruning, repotting - techniques of propagation - care and maintenance

According to blogthings: Anything good in my life comes from my ability to play and be free. The best way for me to solve a problem is to let go of it. Anything bad in my life comes from sinking to the level of those around me. And I must remember to lift people up, and refuse to participate in anything petty. Gorgeous! And further to the question Are You Disturbingly Profound or Profoundly Disturbing? The answer supposedly is: That I am contemplative, thoughtful, and very intense. Taking time to figure out the meaning of life is my priority. Because I am so introspective, I often react in ways that surprise people. No one can really understand how I am inside and that disturbs them. Just to amuse me :-) Cheers!

Today, stress is a result of what is essentially not good in our lives. It could come from dozens of situations - be it a problematic personal relationship with a mate, a child or a parent; perhaps, work related anxieties coming from a joker of a co-worker, or a sexual harasser for a boss, or, just plain job burn out. And what about an unstable financial situation resulting from bad credit loans piling one on top of the other? That is surely one stressful condition! Situations like these need not be prolonged nor indulged. Because, believe it or not these are all temporary setbacks. Anything can be repaired as long as you have the will to do what is right for your own unique situation. And in the case of bad credit rating? You no longer have to suffer its effects because countless online resources are available to help people obtain credit reports and scores. In fact you may even get a free trial offer. Additionally, these outfits, help individuals re-build their credit
