How to get a sexy smile?

Oral Hygiene is very important. Bad oral hygiene may lead to yellow teeth, cavities, tooth decay and much more. Yellow teeth may lead to inferiority complex. Persons with yellow teeth cannot wear a good smile. Yellow teeth or cavities in teeth may not be such an appealing thing when you attend an interview or when you meet a person for the first time. Yellow teeth or cavities are generally considered as bad oral hygiene. This can be stated as one of the most common problems encountered by many. What about toothpaste? Will they have any effect on yellow teeth, cavities and tooth decay? Toothpaste can just claim to drive away your cavities with no results. Often many people visit a dentist for this simple problem. Visiting a dentist can be avoided if we think about the root cause of this problem. Excessive consumption of coffee and tea may lead to yellow teeth. Smoking also affects your teeth to a great extent. Yellowing of teeth is just a sign of bad oral hygiene. It’s a dental plague which is caused due to yellowish film formed on the teeth.

Anti-Doping Laws

August 12, 2009

Anti doping laws and their enforcement vary widely in different countries and between different sports within the same countries. That is why, a conference of the United Nations body, UNESCO, voted to create an international convention against doping. It’s aim is to harmonize anti-doping laws around the world. For as long as there have been competitive sports, athletes have taken performance enhancing substances ,going back to the stimulating portions taken by ancient Greek sportsmen. In the 19th century, cyclists and other endurance athletes kept themselves going with caffeine, alcohol and even cocaine etc. In 1928, the precursor of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) , became the first world sporting body to forbid stimulants. But the ban was ineffective because there was no way of testing for many of the stimulants. The invention of artificial hormones in the 1930s made the problem more severe. In the 1960s, the world bodies for cycling and soccer became the first to introduce doping tests. However there was no reliable test for steroids until the 1970s. Once it was introduced, there was a big rise in the number of athletes being disqualified. See more about the side effects of these steroids in the next post.

Headache is a very common problem for all of us. But head ache is a symptom of different conditions of head. Head ache associated with specific symptoms need immediate medical attention.

Most commonly Migraine pain occurs on one side of your head or if it’s very severe can affect both sides. Migraine is often associated with pain in the neck, face and is accompanied with running nose. Many people often misdiagnosis pain. Misdiagnosis only delay pain relief and could lead to unnecessary tests. At times it may lead to surgery. Ordinary pain killers won’t work for Migraine pain. Migraine pain should be treated with Migraine specific medicine. What’s the difference between ordinary head ache and migraine pain? Migraine pain occurs frequently and is very severe. Imitrex tablets are Migraine specific and can cure Migraine pain to a very great extent. So it’s good to consult a doctor when pain persists for a long time.

MEDITATION AND AWARENESS-PART II

August 3, 2009

We saw that awareness is meditation. How does awareness leads to meditation? The first step in awareness is to be very watchful of your body. Slowly, one becomes alert about each gesture, each movement. And as you become aware, a miracle starts happening; a deep peace starts prevailing in your body, a subtle music pulsates in your mind. Then you start becoming aware of your thoughts and when you do that, you will be surprised what goes on inside you. They are more subtle than the body and more dangerous too. If you write down whatsoever is going on at any moment, you will not believe that this is what is going on inside you. The miracle of awareness is you need not do anything except just become aware. Often it is said that a mad mind is discovered in people who are trying to become aware of them. A deeper peace prevails when the thoughts start falling into a certain pattern. When your body and mind are at peace you will see that they are attuned to each other too. One step more is the ultimate awareness when you start reflecting your moods, emotions and feelings and this can be achieved by regular practice. Many concepts of meditation are used in hospitals as a method of stress reduction and is used in cases of chronic illness associated with increased stress.

MEDITATION-PART I

The word ‘meditation’ often distills a sense of deeper relaxation into one’s mind and it helps us to get beyond the normal reflexive mind of the human beings. It leads people to find peace within them and helps them to achieve a relaxed or peaceful mind and a good health. It is practiced even outside religious traditions and encompasses a wide range of meditative disciplines. Through meditation, one can discover the flow of thoughts in his mind, what triggers it and experience a sharp vision of it. The quality of observation, the quality of being aware and alert-that’s what the meditation is. Meditation simply signifies awareness. In today’s world, every individual should become familiar with awareness. Action is not the question, but the quality that you bring to your action. For instance, listening to the birds can be a meditation if you listen with awareness. Just listening to the inner voice of the mind can be a meditation if you remain alert and watchful. Therefore it can also be said that watching is meditation. The point here is, one should not move in sleep. Then whatsoever you do is meditation.
