Title: More Myths
When it comes to myths, food and sex are the ones that have the most.
I think this is because these are two things that we have to do in
life. We have to have sex or we don't reproduce. We have to eat or we
will die. There isn't much choice when it comes to food. Here we will
discuss more of the food myths. Bookmark this article, because you are
bound to learn something new. Our food supply isn't as safe as it used
to be. All you need to do is pick up a newspaper and see that for
yourself. It seems that somewhere there is always someone getting sick
from ecoli or some other food born illness.
Are preservatives bad for you? No, they aren't. If anything they are
what keeps you from getting sick. If it weren't for these, many more
people would get sick and die from the food they eat.
Can coffee cure a hang over?
No it can't. Caffeine can't cure a hang over. You get hung over
because you are lacking water. The alcohol took a big chunk of the
water from your system. Caffeine actually makes you urinate. So really
it has the opposite effect.
Is it okay to eat fast?
The less that you chew your food, that means the more your stomach
will have to work to digest your food. You have teeth with many
different uses. Some are for cutting and some are for grinding. You
should make the most out of them. This is why it is important that you
take good care of your teeth.
Do beans cause gas?
Yes they do. They are high in fiber. A lot of things that are high in
fiber actually cause gas. Also, things like corn and peppers also
cause gas. Soaking beans before you cook them can take away some of
the gas, but it won't take all of it.
Do carrots improve your eye sight?
No, they don't. Do do however, make your eyes healthy. That may sound
like it contradicts its self, but it doesn't. They don't improve your
eyesight, but they do help you maintain your current ability to see.
Can swallowing gum cause stomach problems?
It can cause gas, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. If you are chewing gum
that has sorbitol, that could be causing problems too. Oddly enough,
this is also found in semen.
Do cherries relieve pain?
The answer is yes. People who eat at least 20 tart cherries a day have
a reduction in pain from arthritis.
Does parsley take away bad breath?
Yes it does. So does other green leafy veggies that contain
chlorophyll.
Does an apple a day keep the doctor away?
Yes it does. There are many good things about apples. They help reduce
the risk of cancer. They also help lower cholesterol. Who says that
old sayings aren't true?
As will all things, take myths with a grain of salt. If you are
curious about a myth, do some research on it. You will be surprised at
how much information you will learn.

Title: Negativity and your health
In our quest for a life as healthy as possible we often overlook that
moods and attitudes play a very important role in our health. A happy
and relaxed person is always healthier than one who goes through a
period of depression or who has to put up with a lot of stress.
There's only so much that the body can compensate for before the
overall health starts to suffer. These negative moods can destroy you
from the inside just as sure as any illness. They leave your body open
to various diseases and make you less able to deal with them.
Depression is one such thing. Doctors have noticed that people who
succumb to depression during illnesses take a longer time to recover
and may even develop complications. Instead of letting the body heal
itself, these people make everything worse by letting depression take
over and turning the will to live against itself. Studies have shown
that people who are depressed after a heart attack are more likely to
die in the 6 months following the event. Depressed people need more
medication and more healthcare. They develop the more severe forms of
diseases and are more at risk.
Loneliness is another big problem. People who have no friends, no
sympathetic ears to hear their problems and no shoulders to cry on are
forced to cope with stress and hardships all alone. Support from
friends and relatives makes thing seem easier than they actually are
and helps one go through tough times. Whether we're talking about
boring house chores or annoying co-workers, we all need someone
willing to listen while we unload all the grief and depression. And
it's good to listen to someone else's problems, too. It moves you to
compassion and proves that your problems may not be that big after
all.
Unfortunately, we're also living in a stressful world. Whether we
realize it or not, the daily life in cities is filled with loud
noises, bright lights, crowded subways or buses, rush hours and a
million other things that annoy us. Bills and expenses add to the
stress, while going to a high-powered job that requires at least ten
hours of work per day means that we don't get much time to relax.
Living in a constant state of stress is bound to damage our health
sooner or later, although many times we fail to recognize the danger
until it's too late.
The best thing is to exercise some moderation and a change of
lifestyle. Drink less coffee and alcohol. Smoke less or kick the habit
altogether. Take 30-minute walks in the park instead of slumping on
the sofa and watching TV. Buy some relaxing music and make a habit of
your daily relaxation. Read a book once in a while or go to an art
gallery if that's the thing that can get your mind off work and
worries. Remember that there are beautiful things in life and that
you're not a robot moving from one task to another.
