A lot warnings have been released about the health risks of smoking, and rightfully so.  Yet even with the millions of dollars spent on advertising to warn the public about smoking, cigarette use is still up.  It is also true that the cigarette companies can outmatch the advertising budget of government or any anti-smoking lobby group or foundation.   The lung cancer warnings are not enough, so it seems.  

For now, many smokers bravely confront the warnings by saying that smoking actually helps improve their health.  They claim that smoking helps them deal with stress and anxiety at home and at the office. Smokers even say that the cigarette somehow serves as a muscle relaxant after a hard day’s work or as a “stimulant” that can be taken while doing an arduous task.  Some people even swear that cigarettes can produce the same effect as a weight loss diet pill. How do you top that excuse?  Yes, these reasons can be quite convincing but medical proof clearly shows that long-term tobacco use leads to a host of lung illnesses, and even death.

But there just might be another way to convince hard-core smokers to quit the stick.  An article entitled “The High Cost of Smoking” written by Hillary Smith for www.msn.com provides an interesting perspective on financial reason for quitting smoking.  In the article, the author gives an example of just how costly smoking is…in terms of dollars and cents.  In a very convincing fashion, she writes:

“A pack of cigarette costs $ 4.49. A smoker who consumes a one pack of cigarette a day spends $31.43 a week for his habit, or $1, 635 per year. But if, for some reason, that one-pack-a-day smoker quits at age 40, he would be able to save at least $250,000 by the time he reaches 70, assuming he puts his money on a 401(K) that earns about 9% a year.”

Imagine losing a quarter of a million dollars just because of cigarettes. For some, that may be enough motivation t
o quit smoking.  Financial issues do cause a lot of stress and anxiety — and may even be among the reasons that actually lead people to smoke.  But there are other figures that support the claim that smoking has serious financial consequences.  The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids has been trumpeting their research that says that at least $96.7 billion is spent on public and private health care due to federal and state taxes on smoking, or roughly $600 dollars a year per household.  Other additional costs that are sure to add up to an average smoker’s stress and anxiety is the cost of medical bills that are sure to come after years of using tobacco.  Many do not even take into consideration the amount of money to be spent on car cleaning and deodorizing treatments for “ashtrays in wheels.”  Cars of smokers generally smell like the smoke-filled bars watering holes where alcohol and cigarettes are as much a fixture as the bar stool.

Stress and anxiety from work, family demands, and the daily struggles of life are often enough to make an average smoker or non-smoker reach for a dose of pain relievers and tranquilizers.  So why add up to that distress by smoking our way into financial troubles — due to unnecessary spending on cigarettes?  

The last question of a willing quitter might be, “How do I quit?”   There are a number of ways to quit smoking.  Joining a therapy group, getting prescription for anti-smoking medicines like Bupropion (commonly marketed as Zyban), or going for the “cold turkey” quitting method might do the trick.  But deciding to quit and knowing that smoking is just a waste of money are two easy yet important initial steps to take.

To use an old clichû  “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”   So instead of wasting hard-earned cash on cigarettes that literally just goes up in smoke…we all should invest our money, and better yet, invest it to  improve our health. 

There are many people that suffer from sinus problems.  A sinus is a cavity in the skull which is used to make the skull lighter, give room for the skull to grow, and to cool down the inhaled air.  There are four types of sinuses in humans which include the maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid, and frontal sinuses.  The maxillary sinus cavity is located below the eye and to the side of the nose below the cheeks.  The ethmoid sinus and the sphenoid sinus are some of the most functional sinuses and are located between the eyes and under the nose.  The frontal sinus cavity is located in the middle of the forehead.

The sinuses can cause many problems.  The most common problem is a sinus infection.  A sinus infection is caused by a blockage of bacteria and mucus in the sinus cavities.  The blockage begins usually when a person has a cold or allergy.  The sinus cavity lining becomes swollen when a cold or allergy exists.  When bacteria get into the sinus cavities, they attack the swollen lining which then causes greater inflammation.  The cilia are tiny hairs in the sinuses which are used to flush out bacteria and mucus.  When the inflammation from the bacteria occurs, the cilia can no longer flush it out therefore the bacteria and mucus become trapped and the infection begins.

There are many symptoms which may occur with a sinus infection.  Generally, a person may experience cough, congestion, facial pain and pressure, green nasal discharge, and postnasal drip.  When the sinus infection lasts for twelve or more weeks it is considered chronic and can have additional symptoms such as loss of sense of taste and smell and the person may also become fatigued.

There are many forms of treatment for a sinus infection.  Nasal sprays are one common treatment.  Nasal sprays work by distributing saline solution up into the sinus cavities.  Nasal sprays are meant to moisten the cilia so that the trapped bacteria and mucus can be washed out.  The problem with nasal sprays however is that they have large particle sizes that cannot make it past the inflammation at the opening of the sinus cavities and up to the sinusitis infection.  Oral antibiotics are also a frequently used treatment.  Oral antibiotics work on infections by flowing through the blood stream to the infected area.  Oral antibiotics are usually ineffective when it comes to sinus infections due to the fact that there are only a small amount of blood vessels in the sinus cavities which makes it difficult for an efficient amount of antibiotic, along with anti-fungals and anti-inflammatories, to make it to the sinus infection.  Another treatment that may be used is irrigation.  Irrigation, like nasal sprays, is meant to moisten the cilia so that it can function properly.  Also like nasal sprays, it is difficult for it to make it through the inflammation and to the sinuses.  Irrigation is also usually a very messy treatment.

Our sinuses have important functions and it is important to keep them clear from infection.  A sinus infection can become an inconvenience in many ways and also may cause future problems for the sinus cavities.  It is best to take care of a sinus infection at the beginning and to prevent it from becoming chronic. 

Most people are not fully aware of the impact of their daily experiences at work and at home on the quality of their lives. Experiences are dealt with differently from person to person. People simply see things differently, which is why there is such as thing as the Principle of Individual Differences. Same schedule, same set of people, same destination — but all with a different take or perspective on a situation.

In some cases, the negative views about one’s situation can even cause health problems. Some people can experience excessive fatigue for thinking negative thoughts aside from undergoing physically stressful activities. Excessive fatigue is having a general feeling of weakness or energy loss, both physically and mentally. A lot of factors are crucial in getting this type of condition. Aside from strenuous physical activities, allergies, bacteria, viruses, and chemical toxins can also harm and weaken the body. Emotional stress due to frustration, melancholy, and other negative factors are also linked to becoming physically weak and stressed out.

Exhausted people, or ones that have excessive fatigue often display symptoms that reflect what they really feel. Waking up is a hassle, always feeling run down and stressed, tired for no particular reason, dragging themselves to get through the day, being dependent on coffee, tea, or high energy drinks for vitality, struggling to keep up with daily activities, or simply not having fun anymore. These are some of the usual manifestations of fatigue. Other signs include not being able to bounce back from any illness or stress, a decrease in their sex drive, and simply being
too tired to enjoy life. A bad relationship, abuse, anger, mental instability, inferiority complex, bitterness, guilt, shame, envy, jealousy, laziness, fear, and arrogance are just some of the negative emotions that a person deals with everyday. These conditions may increase excessive fatigue in a way that the person will not function as well as they do before.

According to health studies, there are three characteristics that define excessive fatigue. Increase in irritability, having a demoralized feeling, and feelings of weakness, lack of energy, and excessive fatigue.

In experiencing these kinds of situations, the person needs proper emotional healing. Since all these stressors makes the person feel bad and low, they will need help in revitalizing and gaining enough energy to feel good again. Emotions can easily bring a person down.

Emotional healing is healthy for both mind and body, since these two are in some way connected to each other. Since every person has a unique personality and perception of things and ideas, it is advisable for personalized treatment in coping with emotional healing. Proper therapy and consultation is key in developing good and healthy thinking. Detoxification, removal of initial stress indicators, and balancing of mental health is substantial for such healing process. Relief from such negative factors can be time consuming, but patience is a virtue. A balance in emotions will always be regarded, and optimism is always the best way to see life. Beating fatigue and negative emotions require balance, and a strong commitment to haivng a positive

outlook.

Stress and anxiety are things anyone and everyone has to deal with. The mental stresses and pressures placed upon the typical human being by modern civilization is a price that must be paid to live within the social strata we have now. It is understandable for people to have to bear with stress and pressure, to need to develop the mental tools to adapt to their culture and working environment, but for some, the burden is too great to bear. The human mind is a sensitive instrument, a computer program that has algorithms and protocols that can be stretched to a breaking point. The average person either has the capacity to deal with the stress and anxiety inherent to the modern world, but others are not so lucky. It has been suggested that, more than any era on record, the world we live in today has a sizable percentage of the population that is incurably mad.

Indeed, the stress and anxiety being pressed upon people can stretch less adapted minds to the breaking point. Apart from conforming to social norms, one also has to deal with the culture of work, the demands placed upon one’s gender, the social duties one has, and the conflicting need to fit in while retaining one’s individuality at the same time. This incredible amount of stress and anxiety, when combined with some personalities or mentalities, can result in someone that has embraced madness. In many ways, being utterly insane is a way to escape the stress and anxiety that society, work, and culture press upon a person. It is an unusual sight, but it is not impossible to see someone who has become so stressed out by events in his life that he can find himself having a complex philosophical debate with a stop sign.

As was once said by the comic book character The Joker, all it really takes for someone to go crazy was one “really bad day.” Unfortunately, when one takes everything into context and considers the thousands of layers that one has to navigate on a daily basis, the possibility of at least one person in the world having that “really bad day” is relatively high. There is no specific combination that can lead to this, nor is there any specific personality profile that is more prone to just snapping. The fact is, this is all based heavily on circumstance and luck. For some, it will only take a single event in that person’s life to make a difference, to cause a significant enough change that his mind can no longer handle the strain. For others, it would take him being served divorce papers, losing his job, learning he has cancer, being robbed blind in the middle of the street, and learning his youngest daughter just died for him to “lose it.”

The modern era, according to some analysts, is structured with so many complications and duties for a single individual that going completely insane is not that far-fetched. However, it is distinctly possible that insanity is a long-term development. People in the workplace or within some social circles may be slowly developing insanity in some form or another, but lack that single, defining moment to trigger the nervous breakdown. The emergence of insanity does not always have to be instantaneous, as the degradation of one’s “sanity” can be a slow process that can last a lifetime, requiring only a single event to open the proverbial door to the psychological point of no return.

The volume of semen ejaculated by a male during ejaculation is intimately
connected to the chances of conception. In order to fertilize an ovary, a great
amount of sperm is required, often hundreds of millions of sperms. For pregnancy
to occur, at least one sperm should manage to stay alive for adequate time to
reach and fertilize the egg or the ovum.

Under usual conditions, producing hundreds of millions of sperms is not a
trouble for an average male. A male can manufacture more than a few hundred
million sperm cells daily. Though, problems occur when outer elements are
introduced into the body, like when a man begins to drink greatly or smoke on a
usual basis.

When a male starts drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco, his sperm count
reduces, which reduces his likelihood of fertilizing an egg. An inadequate
unbalanced diet, drug abuse and lack of physical exercise can also reduce the
volume of sperm released at e
jaculation. The same is correct when a male
experience lots of ejaculations in a short duration of time, such as when he
has manifold intercourse sessions daily. Each ejaculation will decrease the quantity
of available sperm left within the body.

Males who are suffering from infertility problems may endeavor increasing the
volume of their semen, and thus the quantity of sperms. As mentioned earlier
also that the amount of semen released by a male has a straight connection with
his partner’s pregnancy. To augment this amount, herbs like Ashwagandha,
Shilajit, salab mishri can be taken. Other herbal supplement worth taking is
Himalaya Speman, a powerful herbal Viagra that has potential to increase sperm
count as well as sperm quantity.
