		<description><![CDATA[While liposuction is the most popular type of cosmetic surgery in the US, not many people really know all that much about it. In this article, I’m going to discuss some of the most important pros and cons of this very popular, yet often misunderstood procedure. Let’s start with the benefits of liposuction: You are most likely going to gain a lot of confidence in the way you look, which will in turn affect other areas in your life in a very positive way. There is some evidence that the risk of developing cardiovascular disease can be lowered with some liposuction treatments. It might encourage you to live a healthier and more active life. The recovery period is relatively short and you should be able to move around and perform basic tasks one or two days after surgery. It removes fat cells, which is great if you can also change your lifestyle to ensure that any leftover cells do not increase in size. And now the cons: Contrary to what most people think, there’s very little noticeable effect right after surgery. It will take a few weeks for changes to kick in fully. Liposuction often leaves visible scars and bruises [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In simple terms, BMI is a measure that can be used to check whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height. BMI is linked to your weight and height, as well as several other factors such as gender, age, etc. Let’s find out how BMI is calculated and what it really means. What is BMI? Your Body Mass Index (or BMI) can be used to determine how healthy your body weight is. Even though the formula used to calculate BMI is pretty straightforward, the results tend to be surprisingly accurate and an unhealthy BMI is often found to be strongly correlated with various diseases and illnesses. What’s a healthy BMI? We’re all different, but for an average person a healthy BMI will usually be somewhere in the range between 18.5 and 25. If your BMI is under 18.5, chances are that you are a bit underweight, while a BMI of 25 or more is a warning sign that a person is overweight. If you have a BMI of 30+, you are considered obese or severely obese and should seek medical help immediately. Now, remember that these BMI ranges should only be used for adults. Children undergo a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Electronic cigarettes (or e-cigs as they are often called) are small electronic devices that mimic cigarettes. Many e-cig manufacturers claim that their products are safer and better for health than regular tobacco cigarettes. Let’s find out whether that’s true and if switching to e-cigs is a good option for regular smokers. What’s an electronic cigarette? The idea is pretty simple, actually. An electronic cigarette contains a small cartridge that’s filled with liquid nicotine and some other chemicals. It has a small battery-powered heater inside that turns on when you push on a small button that’s located on the e-cig. This process warms up a small amount of the liquid nicotine solution which creates nicotine-filled vapour that is used to replace tobacco smoke. That’s it – the smoker breathes in this nicotine vapour and gets an instant nicotine kick. Benefits E-cigs have several obvious benefits when compared to tobacco cigarettes. The first one is that e-cig smoke doesn’t contain any of the extremely dangerous compounds found in tobacco smoke. This includes all of the carcinogens that are the reason why smoking tobacco products can lead to lung cancer. Another benefit is that e-cigs pose no second-hand smoke risk and can be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These days maintaining healthy weight and losing any excessive fat is getting harder and harder. Part of this problem can be attributed to the fact that our society is becoming increasingly more convenience oriented, which basically means that the meals we eat are getting bigger and less healthy, while technology is making us less physically active. Let me give you some basic diet and weight loss tricks that should help you keep your weight in check! 1. Eat regularly and avoid going more than 2-4 hours without food. It’s no secret that eating smaller portions every 2-3 hours instead of just 1-2 big meals in a day can help stabilize blood glucose levels and prevent hunger/cravings. Both of these things are extremely important when trying to lose weight or prevent overeating in general. 2. Eat unprocessed foods. Snacks such as apples, pears and bananas are a lot more filling than cookies or crisps. The reason for this is simple – they contain unprocessed fiber, carbohydrates and protein, all of which take longer to digest and will keep you feeling full. 3. Do not eat too fast – enjoy every meal. It takes a while for your body to realize that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Losing weight is a long and tedious process. Luckily, there are some simple and very effective ways to speed it up – let’s look at some of them in more detail! 1. Choose resistance training instead of long cardio sessions. While there is a lot of evidence that running, swimming and other cardio workouts have tons of health benefits, they are not the most effective way to burn calories. Strength (or resistance) training builds muscle mass and even a short, 15-25 minute resistance workout can burn more calories than a 2-hour running session! 2. HIIT training is a superb way to give your metabolism a massive boost. It’s very simple: choose any workout you like and perform it alternating between low intensity and very high intensity sessions. Take, for example, running: if you normally run for 20 or 30 minutes at a moderate pace, try changing it to sprinting for 60 seconds followed by brisk walking for another 60 seconds (repeat this cycle 4-8 times). A good HIIT workout can give your metabolism a massive boost in just 5-10 minutes! 3. Snack on low and negative calorie foods. These foods are high in nutrients and/or water and contain so few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Electronic cigarettes are a popular alternative to regular tobacco-based products. Many people consider e-cigarettes to be healthier and cheaper than regular cigarettes. In this article, I am going to tell you exactly how e-cigarettes work and why they have become so popular. What is an e-cig? An electronic cigarette is a simple, reusable electronic gadget that mimics the way regular cigarettes work. Most e-cigs have a form that’s very similar to that of normal tobacco cigarettes. A normal e-cig contains a small, refillable nicotine cartridge that is heated up to create nicotine vapour. This vapour is then breathed in by the user and provides the exact same feeling that smoking normal cigarettes does, except there are fewer side effects. Why is e-smoking healthier? Well first of all e-cigs produce nicotine vapour, which is very different from tobacco smoke. Nicotine vapour doesn’t contain the many carcinogens that are found in tobacco smoke, plus it evaporates quickly and causes no second-hand smoke risk. Most people who switch from smoking tobacco cigarettes to e-cigs report having significantly fewer side effects such as coughing, stained teeth, bad breath and so on. It’s important to note, however, that the long-term effects of e-cigs are not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While marijuana is by far the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States, not many “casual” users understand that cannabis can be addictive and that prolonged use can sometimes have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health. Addictiveness Cannabis is considered to be slightly less addictive than caffeine, which means that most people should be able to control how much/when they use it. However, while most studies agree that marijuana is not the most addictive substance out there, it can still cause serious problems to some individuals. Most cases of serious cannabis dependency tend to develop after prolonged, chronic use of the drug. Sadly, most people who are dependent on marijuana use do not seek qualified help. Depending on the severity of the condition a dependency to cannabis can be treated with a simple intervention or by checking into a drug rehab. Long-term effects Most people who seek treatment for cannabis use do so because of the unbearable side-effects that can stem from a prolonged addiction to the substance. For example: Most long-term users suffer from side effects similar to those experienced by heavy smokers. This includes coughing, decreased lung capacity, etc. Marijuana use can cause very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Serious, long-term infertility problems affect less than 5% of all couples. It’s important to remember that just because you haven’t been able to successfully conceive over a month or two it does not mean that you have infertility issues. Most doctors in the UK and US only diagnose infertility when a couple has been having regular unprotected sex for 2 to 3 years without being able to conceive. Causes and treatment Infertility can be caused by various reasons including infection, genetics, environmental factors, and so on. In women infertility can be caused by: Various ovulation disorders that happen due conditions such as an overactive/underactive thyroid gland, chronic diseases such as cancer, poor egg quality, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, and so on. Genes. Various problems in the uterus and fallopian tubes. These can be caused by surgery, benign tumors, etc. Long term use of medications such as chemotherapy, ibuprofen, aspirin, and many others. Drug abuse. Untreated STIs that cause PID and other serious infections. In men infertility is normally caused by: Problems with sperm quality: low sperm count, bad sperm mobility and abnormally sperm. Medications such as chemotherapy and steroid use. Use of illegal drugs can also have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being self-employed is both rewarding and extremely stressful. I know this because I have been working for myself for over four years now and I wouldn’t change it for anything, but there are days when it all just seems too much. Here are some stress management tips to help you cope with the woes of running a business. 1. Always deal with trustworthy and established providers. Whether you are looking to hire a van or need to order a bunch of commercial umbrellas – always deal with professional that you know you can trust. 2. If you don’t have an accountant you should dedicate at least 30 minutes at the end of every work day to sort out all finances/accounts and other administrative tasks. This will not only reduce some of the ongoing stress of knowing that you should be keeping track of your finances, but will also help put things like your expenses and income in perspective. 3. Wake up early and work hard. Make it a habit to start your day with an early cup of water/tea/coffee while thinking about why you got into business in the first place and what you want to achieve from it. It’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fitbit is a very innovative activity tracking gadget that aims to make us all move more, sleep better and achieve our goals faster. Let’s see if it’s really as good as they claim. Let’s me start by explaining how Fitbit works. Basically you get a small and light clip-on gadget that has to be taken with you everywhere you go. Most people simply attach it to a pocket and forget about it for the rest of the day. This gadget records things like how many stets you walk, total distance covered, stairs climbed, and so on. All of this data is then uploaded to a nice online dashboard by syncing the gadget with any smartphone or laptop that supports Bluetooth. What’s the point you ask? Well for starters Fitbit allows you to see exactly how healthy your lifestyle is (most of us tend to overestimate things like that). Secondly, it has a lot of small but neat features designed to make you want to be more active. When I use Fitbit I find myself trying to walk more (even when I’m just talking on the phone in my home office), take the stairs instead of a lift, etc. At the [...]]]></description>
