The Real You Under the Mask



Natural Health Choices
With all of the health issues saturating the internet, perhaps it's time we look to a more natural health in our daily lives. Recently, I had the opportunity to view Qi Gong, a meditative exercise which brings calm and balance within. Used for 4000 years by the Chinese, it has become an effective and proven way to achieve health and well-being.
Qi, pronounced Chi meaning life force; and Gong, meaning exercise.
It comprises slow moving motions which not only heal the body, but the mind as well. Modern medicine, while necessary for certain diseases, cannot come close to Qi Gong in providing the body with increased energy and physical health.
These gentle breathing, stretching and strengthening movements activate the Qi energy and blood circulation in your body, helping to stimulate your immune system, strengthen your internal organs, and give you abundant energy. Qi Gong can be practiced either in a sitting or standing position, and anyone can engage in these simple and effective exercises in as little as fifteen to twenty minutes a day.
Instead of deriving assistance from unnecessary drugs and stimulants; using our own bodies as instruments for change can occur. It seems as if we have become more dependent upon drugs to treat ailments than listening to our bodies. This is not to say diseases can be treated using this method; but certainly stress and other problems which sometimes incapacitate us can be dealt with differently and effectively.
Subliminal messaging CDs are becoming more popular; whether they actually help or not is up to the individual. However, meditation has been around for thousands of years, and yoga has always been a favorite among those who seek alternatives to pills and other conventional methods.
It seems to this writer we have to find our way back to a simplistic lifestyle, where stress and worry have no place to invade our minds and spirit. This may sound na�ve, but evidence has shown that meditative practices are effective.
Upon a visit to a big city, one tourist remarked, "Why is everyone rushing around? Where are they going?" No truer words were spoken. Our lives, admittedly, are stress filled; with both parents working to pay the bills; save for a house or their kids college education; with the high cost of rents and oil; trying to meet deadlines at work on a daily basis; it's no wonder everyone is tightly wound. Eventually, it will catch up with all of us.
To this end, maybe it's time to find a balance; a way in which we can live life to the fullest and still achieve the goals we set. It's a question we all need to answer in our own way.

Do You Know The First Signs of Menopause
Changing in the levels of estrogen and progesterone can result in a number of signs. One may pass through these troubles with little or no trouble at all. All the signs like hot flashes or sleep disorders are menopause signs. The most common menopause signs include:
Irregular periods
They may get irregular, lighter or sometimes heavier. All these are quite common. One may face excessive bleeding for many days or even spotting between periods may also occur. However, one must consult the doctor if any of these gets troublesome.
Experiencing a hot flash is common in perimenopause. Due to this, the sufferer experiences heat in the upper part or all over the body. Besides this, face and neck also gets flushed. Red blotches may come out on the chest, back and arms.
It can be accompanied with heavy sweating and cold shivering. Flashes can be light as well as severe that it may be hard for the sufferer to sleep. Generally, they last for 30 seconds to 5 minutes. They are supposed to disappear within a few years after menopause.
Another among menopause signs is drying up and thinning of the genital area. It is due to the drop in the estrogen levels. It may lead to the painful sexual intercourse due to the dryness. One may also become prone to have infection in vagina. With the older age, one starts to experience urinary tract problems. It includes urinary tract infections, trouble holding urination when one sneezes, laughs, or runs. If someone faces any of these troubles, then it is strongly recommended to see the doctor.
Even if it is a year that one had periods, it is recommended to use birth control, if the intention is not to conceive. When the time of menopause is near, one may experience changes in the feeling about sex. It may be troubling for a woman to be sexually aroused due to hormonal changes, distress because of changes in the vagina or medicines one is having.
Feeling exhausted is also among menopause signs. It may be troubling for the sufferer to go to sleep, wake up early or getting back to sleep again after waking up in the middle of the night.
There may be certain link between changing in the estrogen level and the emotions around the time of menopause. However, other reasons for these mood swings may be stress, changes in family like children leaving home or feeling exhausted.

In the last, other visible menopause-signs may comprise gaining weight around the waist, loss of muscle mass, losing stretch in the skin besides other signs like headaches, memory related problems and joint, or muscle pain.
