			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Asbestos is widely used in many industries but it is quite dangerous to human body. The fibres can separate into thin, durable threads and can get into our bodies when we breathe. This is one of the reasons why people suffers from asbestos – related illness like lung cancer so protect your lungs from this chemical product.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.respirated.com/protection/asbestos-1.html" target="_blank">Respirator for asbestos</a> can be used to protect lungs since it offers protection against the inhalation of asbestos fibres. The only filter type that are suitable for asbestos is FFP3 filters. All <a href="http://www.respirated.com" target="_blank">respirator</a> must have is what is known as a protection factor. This protection factor depends on the filter media construction. There  are 2 available types of asbestos respirator – half mask asbestos respirator and full face asbestos respirator. The half mask is suitable for light job when there are not so much abatement in the air and the resistant against abatement concentrations is up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit.</p>

<p>When the half mask asbestos respirator is suitable for light job, full face asbestos respirator is suitable for heavy job which means the abatement levels in the air is very dangerous. This respirator resists abatement concentrations up to 50 times Permissible Exposure Limit. There are so many asbestos respirators in the market but choose a trusted manufacturer for your own safety and health</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pneumonia are contagious and are usually found in fluid from the mouth or nose of an infected person. Illness can spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes on a person, by sharing drinking glasses and eating utensils, and when a person touches the used tissues or handkerchiefs of an infected person.</p>
<p>Pneumonia are usually sicker than those with viral pneumonia, but can be effectively treated with antibiotic medications. You may have heard the terms &#8220;double pneumonia&#8221; or &#8220;walking pneumonia. Simply means that the infection is in both lungs. It&#8217;s common for pneumonia to affect both lungs, so don&#8217;t worry if your doctor says this is what you have &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re twice as sick. Refers to pneumonia that is mild enough that you may not even know you have it. Walking pneumonia, which has also been called atypical pneumonia because it&#8217;s different from the typical bacterial pneumonia, is common in teens and is often caused by a tiny microorganism known as. Like the typical bacterial pneumonia, walking pneumonia also can be treated with antibiotics.</p>
<p><img src="http://imhealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/what-is-pneumonia.jpg" alt="" title="what-is-pneumonia" width="500" height="250" class="center" /><span id="more-181"></span></p>
<p>Pneumonia are contracted by breathing in small droplets that contain the organisms that can cause pneumonia. These droplets get into the air when a person infected with these germs. In other cases, pneumonia is caused when bacteria or viruses that are normally present in the mouth, throat, or nose inadvertently enter the lung. , it is quite common for people to aspirate secretions from the mouth, throat, or nose. Normally, the body&#8217;s reflex response (coughing back up the secretions) and their immune system will prevent the aspirated organisms from causing pneumonia. However, if a person is in a weakened condition from another illness, a severe pneumonia can develop.</p>
<p>The symptoms of viral pneumonia are similar to those of the flu : Fever, dry cough, headaches, muscle pain and weakness. Twelve to thirty-six hours (12 to 36 hours) after the onset of these symptoms, victims experience severe breathlessness. The cough becomes worse and limited amounts of mucus produced contain traces of blood. There is a high fever and blueness of the lips. In the final stage, the victim is suffocating and struggles desperately to breathe. Some viral pneumonias may be complicated by a bacterial attack characterized by all the symptoms of the latter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tips for healthy skin tell us that the moisturizer keeps the skin from drying and flaking and forming fine wrinkle and sunscreen lotions protect the skin from the uv rays. The moisturizer should be used all over the body and not just on the face. The best time to put on the moisturizer is immediately after your bath as this is when it gets absorbed into the skin and leaves it soft and supple. If you have a dry skin then use a richer moisturizer and if your skin is oily it is better to use a lighter one which has a gel base and not an oily base. The moisturizer which is used for the face is of a different consistency and the ingredients are more suitable for the facial skin. What you use on your body may be a bit too heavy for the face and could block the pores and cause eruptions on the face.</p>
<p><img src="http://imhealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/skin-tips.jpg" alt="" title="skin-tips" width="500" height="250" class="center" /><span id="more-183"></span></p>
<p>Healthy beauty tips suggest that you keep separate moisturizers for the face and for the body. There are several moisturizers which are combined with sunscreen lotions too. These serve a dual purpose and are easier to carry around in your hand bag in case you want to re-apply the lotion at mid day while you are outside which most healthy beauty tips recommend. Do not go for cheap quality lotions and make sure that what you buy suits your skin type. A good moisturizer gets absorbed into the skin and does not leave an oily deposit on the skin and it does not cause any burning sensation to the skin after it is applied.</p>
<p>When you are styling your hair, you need to be very careful. You must make sure that hair spray and hair gel do not get on your face. If you see girls with a concentration of acne on their forehead, it is because this is one of the clear skin tips they don&#8217;t know about. The hair gel and hair spray will cause excessive acne. If you get some on your face, wash it off immediately. This is one of the clear skin tips that many don&#8217;t know about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you understand what makes a good skin care product, you can shop smartly the next time you&#8217;re at the drugstore, and see an improvement without even adding extra products to your daily routine. Appropriate use of moisturizers or certain ingredients can slow down aging, increase the glow of your skin, and combat blotches and blemishes. Always remember that being healthy is the biggest step to healthy skin. Your skin responds strongly to how your body feels inside. Drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, don&#8217;t let yourself get too stressed out, and give up vices like smoking or excessive drinking. Your body will thank you for it, and a beautiful glowing complexion will be its reward.</p>
<p><img class="center" title="skin-care" src="http://imhealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/skin-care.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="250" /><span id="more-178"></span></p>
<p>Men and women have different skin but how can we differentiate between them? Men do not spend much money on cosmetics, facial wash but shave more than women. There are more products for women but there are some for men. However, the publicity of skin care products for men is insignificant compared to women&#8217;s. Many men make the mistake of thinking that they do not have to look after their skin. Here is how to change all of that to look your best.</p>
<p>Give some of  homemade skin care recipes a try. You don&#8217;t need to be a trained dermatologist or blessed with perfect genes to enjoy clear skin. All you need is a bit of common sense and a basic understanding of skin care fundamentals.</p>
<p>The first step to anti-aging skin care is knowing your skin type. &#8221; is it dry or oily?&#8221; sensitive or thick?&#8221; try to first pinpoint your own skin type before choosing the best method to anti-aging. &#8221; and if you currently have a skin care routine, ask yourself if you are satisfied. &#8221; if you are not satisfied, look for higher quality, natural products that will help improve the condition of your skin. &#8221; some of your dissatisfaction could be a result to your current petroleum (chemical) based products. &#8221; Also, if you do not feel comfortable about judging your own skin, see a skincare expert like a dermatologist. After determining your skin type, begin searching for products that are directed towards your particular type. &#8221; some of your current problems could just be from using the wrong products. &#8221; next step would be to begin hydrating your skin by drinking more water. &#8221; Many people suffer from dry skin because they simply do not consume enough water throughout the day. &#8221; Drinking 6-8 glasses of water can keep your skin looking healthy and hydrated.</p>
<p>Some interesting natural skin remedies are washing the face with cold flushes of water. Rubbing peels of vegetables and fruits on the skin to remove dark spots and natural glow. A few drops of fruit juices can be added in a face pack and pulp of banana, orange, papaya can be used as a face mask. Following natural skin care tips on regular basis will indeed give rise to unbelievable results on the skin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tired eyes are also symptoms of a possible disease amongst elders and young children. Constant burning sensation, itchiness, soreness, bloodshot eyes, watery and distorted vision are the common symptoms experienced by the sufferer. They may not always be fatal, but they can be detrimental for the brain and overall body functionality. Some of the extreme symptoms also include headache and dizziness. Tired eyes can occur due to several reasons such as too much time in front of the computer or television.</p>
<p><img class="center" title="tired-eyes" src="http://imhealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/tired-eyes.png" alt="" width="500" height="250" /></p>
<p>Tired eyes are often experienced after prolonged use of the eyes, for example after using a computer or driving. In this case eye drops or lotions can be used to refresh the eyes. Which acts to revive the surface of the eye. If you suffer from this problem often, it may be to your benefit if you visit your optician as you may need glasses.<span id="more-169"></span></p>
<p>Tired eyes are very much recommended for keeping your eyes healthy and stress free and relieve them of tiredness. Eye exercises help the eyes in two important ways.  Eye exercises help to improve the mechanical stability of the eye by coordinating and strengthening the eye muscles. The eye exercises strengthen the convergence power of the eye and balance its function with that of accommodation. Eye exercises improve the optical image coordination between the two eyes, thereby permitting a proper three dimensional accurate picture to be received and subsequently evaluated by the brain.</p>
<p>Here are some tips to share. Place 2 spoons in the freezer and take them out once they are cold. The cold spoons are to be placed under the eyes to reduce the puffiness of the eyes. Make sure not to freeze the spoons. Take a small bowl of cold milk and dip two cotton balls into it. Place this soaked cotton ball over the eyelids. For quick relief, take 2 cups of water, and add a tiny amount if boric acid to it. Once the solution has cooled, it can be used to wash the eyes. Washing the eyes with cold water on a regular basis also helps reduce the tiredness of the eyes. One could dip cotton balls in either tea water or water containing 2 drops of lavender oil, and place them on the eyelids for relief.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Protein are partly lacking in one or more of the essential amino acids. Meals prepared with a mix of protein foods can provide a better balance of the essential amino acids and therefore a more complete protein source. Apart from soybeans, vegetable sources of protein are more often lacking in one or more essential amino acids than animal sources.</p>
<p><img class="center" title="protein-resource" src="http://imhealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/protein-resource.png" alt="" width="500" height="250" /><span id="more-156"></span></p>
<p>Protein are required for periods of very intense weight training, whereas protein intakes of 2. 0 g/kg/day maintained a positive nitrogen balance during periods of less intense weight training. It is clear that athletes need to consume more protein than the current usrda for 0. 8 g/kg/day in order to maintain nitrogen balance. Conversely, since the requirements of carbohydrates, and overall calories also increase with physical activity, the recommended proportion of calories from protein does not change significantly. With a calorie sufficient diet, protein requirement values needed to maintain positive nitrogen balance of both weight trained and endurance trained athletes constitutes intakes of 12% to 20% of total daily calories.</p>
<p>Protein powder can be changed into liquid form as a protein shake when mixed with water, fruit juice, or milk. Additionally, protein powders can be sprinkled on cereal, stirred into soups or stews, and cooked into baked goods. Protein powder is designed to be taken every day as a dietary supplement. Even if you aren&#8217;t a bodybuilder, starting your day with a protein powder shake can provide nutritional benefits. Some studies indicate a steady amount of excess protein may be unhealthy, especially for those with liver or kidney problems. The recommended daily dose is based on weight, age, and activity levels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of the things that women always do when they are on diet. They want a drastic &amp; fantastic result but they will always ignore the bad effects to their bodies. Some women will take up to 5 or 6 red apples a day and no other meals for a week. Detoxification  supplement is also a favorite. They believe these will help in better digestion and they will lose weight easily every week. But the facts are fruits only contained vitamins and carb. There are no fats or protein as needed by our bodies. Not only fat in our bodies will decrease when we only take fruits in our diet but protein in our muscles and total of liquid in our bodies will be decreased too. It is dangerous to our kidneys when we lose too much water. Detoxification supplement is unnecessary since our bodies are capable in detoxification naturally.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hair is like a valuable crown so we need to take a good care of it. But sometimes if we took a wrong step in taking care of our hair, it could lead to hair damage. Damaged hair is mostly caused by blow-drying, too much sun exposure, harsh shampoos, wind and chemical treatments. Using hair dye and changing your shampoo frequently can also lead to damage hair. You can tell your hair is damaged when you have one or all of these signs &#8211; rough hair texture, over-porosity, dryness, brittleness, split ends, no elasticity or susceptible to breakage, becomes spongy and matted when wet, the color fades or absorbs too rapidly.</p>
<p><img class="center" title="demages-hair" src="http://imhealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/demages-hair.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="250" /><span id="more-116"></span></p>
<p>Use conditioners that are pH balanced, rich with protein and can restore moisture to treat your hair. This will help to smooth the cuticle layer and protect the hair shaft from further damage. You can get more protein by eating fish, meat, etc. Do not comb or brush your hair when it is still wet. Use moisturizer or leave-in conditioner when your hair is still wet because your hair best absorbs moisture when it is wet or damp. Continue the treatment by using conditioner that is moisture-rich every week until your hair show some improvement but do not stop taking a good care of your hair!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cosmetic practices performed by top surgeons like Dr. Lack of MetropolitanMD, a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.metropolitanmds.com/body/liposuction">Chicago Liposuction</a> specialist, may not be the only answer to our world&#8217;s weight problem. With buzz around obesity, it&#8217;s difficult to miss information congruent to weight loss, dieting, surgery, and exercise; although, gastric bypass and pills are amongst the least favorable options.</p>
<p>Scientists have actually been looking into developing a molecule that will effectively shut down the fat gene that is creating this monster of a problem. In other words, by providing an active inhibitor to the FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated gene), these experts can work toward a therapy for individuals already suffering. [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6364O420100407">1</a>]</p>
<p><img class="center" title="fate-gene" src="http://imhealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/fate-gene.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="250" /><span id="more-129"></span></p>
<p>According to the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.who.int/en/">World Health Organization</a>, the commonness of obesity is growing at alarming rates – This is based on data collected for both developed and underdeveloped countries. This includes overweight numbers close to 1.6 [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6364O420100407">1</a>] for adults over the age of 15, along with obese in the range of somewhere near 400 million. With such large figures, it&#8217;s difficult to think that obesity isn&#8217;t an epidemic of mass proportion.</p>
<p>Obesity creates many health problems; it increases the risk of premature death, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, hypertension and cancer. These are among the most severe of cases; obesity also comes with its own short term shortcomings. It&#8217;s true that most overweight people have sore bones, muscles, and suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue. It&#8217;s also natural that most people who are overweight suffer from depression or depressive symptoms.

<p><strong>The Treatment of Cough</strong></p>
<p>Simply occurring cough has not be treated the same necessarily medication.  One of the most reasonable measures, which may stop smoking. With a  spoonful of honey can be effective in relieving the irritation of the  mucous membranes. The best remedy for cough is adequate hydration. A  lot of water with a small pinch of salt is recommended as a proven home  remedy.</p>
<p>Sufficient humidity in the living rooms and in the workplace is important.  Dry air with a moisture content below 40 percent may increase cough.  Although the therapeutic benefit is largely in doubt, include cough  medicine to the best-selling drugs. In essence, cough medicine works  by two methods. Either to promote mucus buildup and coughing up of mucus,  or the cough reflex itself subdued.</p>
<p><strong>Cough Shock can Exacerbate Disease</strong></p>
<p>Normally, the cleaning of the bronchi by coughing should not be dampened.  Thus depressant drugs only for dry, irritating cough, difficulty sleeping,  or whooping cough are recommended. Codeine inhibits the cough center  in the central nervous system. Already 30 mg reduced the respiratory  frequency. Nausea, dizziness and drowsiness are possible side effects.  Prolonged revenues in some cases cause dependence. Codeine dangerous  for children under 5 years should not be administered.</p>
<p>Pentoxyverine is a drug that can cause dangerous respiratory depression  in infants. Ephedrine expands the bronchial tubes from mg dose of 30.  It can cause side effects as heart palpitations, tremors, restlessness  and sleep disorders. Dextromethorphan is to dampen the dry cough, often  causes neuropsychiatric disorders (panic attacks, hallucinations) consciousness  reductions.</p>
<p><strong>Slime Remover and Cough Promotional Resources</strong></p>
<p>Often challenged in the English literature, these active substances  in the German speaking favorable reviews. Normally, an increased fluid  intake (ranging up to three liters of water per day to drink from) in  order to promote expectoration. Medications only serve as an accompanying  measure. Many drugs have a dubious efficacy. Also, the risk of side  effects is very high.</p>
<p>Combination with antibiotics is not advisable. You need to be individually  metered. The therapeutic value of bromhexine and ambroxol is unclear.  Often Included acetylcysteine is incomprehensible evaluated. Guaifenesin  is a drug with serious side effects. Incompatibility reactions, gastro-intestinal  problems to shock conditions are possible. It is described by experts  as not very useful.</p>
<p><strong>Natural Remedies and Homeopathic Remedies for Coughs</strong></p>
<p>Plant extracts and essential oils are available in a variety of teas,  lozenges, syrups or droplets (menthol, peppermint, camphor, ivy leaves,  Plantain, eucalyptus) included. They are very popular as a household  remedy and have a few exceptions (Bronchicum capsules or drops almost)  side effects.</p>
<p>Experts have no objection to its use. However, they point out, are making  in terms of effectiveness are not too big hopes. It is also true for  homeopathic remedies that their use does not hurt. Side effects are  not known.</p>
<p><img class="center" src="http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/4861/coughsyrup.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="250" /></p>
<p><strong>Medications for Cough, Advised Against</strong></p>
<p>Ambrodoxy (doxycycline, ambroxol) is assessed as not useful combination  that can lead to liver damage and sensitivity to light. Also discouraged  is the capsule form (Ambroxol AL), since the contained antibiotic should  be administered as a single monopreparation. Bronchicum Capsules and  Elixir S are not recommended, since, although rare, but serious allergic  side effects cause.</p>
<p>Before Bronchipret TP film-coated tablets are warned, as they cause  severe allergies as a natural remedy in individual cases. Also questioned  is the effectiveness. Codipront retard as capsules or juice to cause  a combination of cough blockers and tranquilizers may fatigue and constipation.  As no meaningful drug combination discourage experts from Doxam, Doximucol  and Doxycomp. The cough suppressant ratiopharm is seen as problematic  cough medicines that can cause side effects as confusion, impaired consciousness  and dependence.</p>
<p>As an appropriate cough medicine and Emser salt pellets are assessed.  There are no major side effects known and demonstrated by short-term  stimulation of salivary flow effectiveness. All other OTC or prescription  medications for cough is inefficient to evaluate possible or desirable  in the therapeutic context.</p>
