Spa filter

Going to a spa is one way to treat ourselves from doing all the hard work. We have to make sure though that the spa shop owner is using a spa filter to avoid developing rashes afterwards due to the presence of bacteria in the water which means that the water wasn’t properly sanitize. We should not be deceived because even the crystal clear water can be contaminated by invisible bacteria.

Clean and green village

I felt proud even though I am not from there, to know there is one place in India, Mawlynnong, that is admired for being the cleanest and best educated, in a BBC story. It is inspiring and uplifting news isn’t it? So much with dirty politics and bad news, we need some breather now, and a fresh and green one, if you please.

The village is one example of a group of people working together to keep its sanitation and nature ‘unblemished’. The formula was having a totally dedicated and pro-nature, pro health village headman, and volunteer citizens who will not tolerate a single leaf that has fallen from a tree, they would immediately discard it to their dustbins everywhere. The key is discipline in their way of living, whether in the community, in nature and one’s faith.

Weary weekends sleep habits

Most of us are looking forward to be relaxed on weekends. Sometimes we tend to sleep late and wake up late. Snoozing till noon on Saturdays drains you. But experts encourage napping to increase your energy.
Sleeping late on weekends isn’t as restorative as it may seem. Shifting your bedtime or waking time by two hours or more upsets your circadian rhythms, crucial regulators of your sleep cycle. As a result, you may have trouble falling asleep Sunday night, wake up tired Monday morning, and feel sluggish for days afterward.
To combat this you should go to bed and get up within 60 minutes of the same time every day. If your sleep times are normally erratic, this should improve your energy within a week. At first, getting up early on weekends may make you feel sleepy in the afternoon. If this occurs, nap for 30 minutes. A nap instantly boosts your energy, and if you wake up from your nap at least three hours before your bedtime you won’t disrupt your night time sleep.

Protect yourself

There are many diseases which are caused by inhaled dangerous substances. It is caused by constant inhalation of asbestos. Most of the people affected by it are mechanics, plumbers, factory workers and etc. This could be prevented with the use of proper protective gear while working. If any one has this cancer you need to fine lawyer to help you find compensation and justice because this can be a work-related disease..

SUNLIGHT’S ENERGIZING EFFECT

Many of us do not know that sunlight will give us energy. A lack of sunlight can snuff your spark. Fluorescent and incandescent lights are much less intense than sunlight and don’t have and don’t have the same energizing effect. “When sunlight enters your eyes , it causes your brain to release serotonin, which boosts your energy and mood.” Conversely, exposure to lights an hour or so before bedtime and during sleep can add to fatigue by offsetting your circadian rhythms.

You need to spend 20 minutes outside every day. Even if it’s cloudy, the light instantly boosts your energy. If possible, also increase your exposure to sunlight indoors. Open your blinds and curtains as often as you can. At work, eat lunch in a sunny space.

An hour or two before you go to bed, dim the lights of your house. If your bedroom is bright, consider installing a rheostat (dimmer switch) or washing up by light of a night light. If you read in bed, use a 25-watts bulb in your reading light. Sleep in complete darkness. Close your drapes and avoid using a night light in your bedroom. These kinds of adjustments can invigorate you in as few as three day.

WELL-KNOWN ENERGY SAPPERS

The more energy you have the happier you are. It always feels good when you have all the energy needed for the day. It is a good idea to know the well-known energy sappers so that we will be aware and avoid such. These are the sappers of energy.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION- most people need about 8 1/2 hours a night, say researchers. Getting two or more hours less several nights in a row tires you and impairs decision making and memory.

OVEREATING- a full stomach diverts blood from your muscles, fatiguing you. Eating small meals every day three to four hours helps steady your energy by stabilizing your blood sugar, and it curbs overeating.

CAFFEINE EXCESS – consuming more than 300 mg of caffeine daily (or about 15 ounces of coffee) can exhaust your adrenal glands, which will make you feel logy. Caffeine can also repress REM sleep (a deep, restorative stage of sleep), so avoid it four to six hours before bed.

YOU OVERDO ALCOHOL – metabolizing alcohol lowers your levels of energizing B vitamins. Alcohol also represses REM sleep. Experts recommend consuming no more than one drink daily for women and two drinks for men, and avoiding alcohol three to five hours before bed.

Saving the trees

We have have several strong winds and bad weather since I came back here, and what still baffles me is that the trees keep falling down everywhere. Maybe I just compare them with Philippine tree which I haven’t seen surrendering in many years, that I felt the tree here are not that strong and some being more than a century old, perhaps even older. Never one rain here that there would be no tree or big branch that would fall. Is it just because of the tree, old or not strong, not deep-rooted, or the the strong winds which the tree could have survived, or there is some elements that weaken the tree? For sure our environment is not like what it was few years ago and will take several years for nature to heal itself, but we can do big things too. We are supposed to be good stewards of the earth, after all, there is the only place we can live, but if we care for our environment and do something for it, it will surely make a difference, for us, and especially for the next generation.

Garbage segregation

dsc04142
Garbage is a big problem in many places. It is a great idea to have garbage bins for biodegradable and non-biodegradable. It very important to have those so that there will be no garbage everywhere. There are just some people who are undisciplined throwing garbage everywhere. It will help to have a clean community.

Purified urine

I remember one time there were two brothers in china who had been buried under a collapsed building, (or was it a mine? anyway) for several days but they survived. With no food all they got was their urine. We are humans, we strive to survive in whatever way, and they did the noblest thing no matter how you imagine it. But this time, according to the news I read, it is not just for people buried underground without food and water, and for NASA astronauts too! Astronauts would have to have a communal drinking water supply from their own urine, but of course, it is purified.
