Have Beautiful Hands, Soft and Hydrated in Winter

By Ahmed Salah

In winter, the thermometer does not hesitate to go below zero. Our face and our hands are then much more exposed to external aggressions. They suffer much more at this time of the year by becoming very dry. It is therefore important to take good action to properly hydrate his hands to prevent them from suffering. Overview tips to have soft hands.

Hands, a very fragile part of the body

Hands and face are in constant contact with the outside world. The assaults are multiple such as the use of household products, repeated washing, drying, itching, irritation or hot water. The skin is constantly attacked and becomes more sensitive. However, we do not get used to pampering our hands and they end up aging quickly.

Protect your hands with gloves

For starters, when you go out in cold weather, think about wearing gloves. These must be leather and not too tight to avoid irritation. I advise you to take stuffed for comfort. These will protect you from both the wind and the cold. Remember to take them as soon as the temperature drops below 10 ° C.

In addition, when cleaning at home, also consider using latex gloves not to be in direct contact with household products. This advice is also valid when you do the dishes.

Adopt a good daily hydration

In winter, more than anything, the hydration of the hands is very important. These must be done several times a day and especially after a wash because it is the moment when they dry up as quickly as possible. I advise you to choose a hand cream special winter bio. The latter will be richer in vegetable oil, shea butter and superfatting products that will naturally create a protective barrier.

This gesture and renew several times a day when you feel that your hands are dry. You must understand that it is the regularity of the application of the cream that makes its effectiveness and not the product itself.

This little moment must be a pleasure and do not forget to apply your cream before going to bed. If it is too fat, the trick is to wear cotton gloves to penetrate the cream deep throughout the night. When you wake up, your hands will be all soft and nourished.

Hand massage

In order to reactivate the blood circulation, to evacuate the tensions of the everyday life and to give you a moment of pleasure, I advise you to carry out a massage of the hands  before going to bed at night. You can help yourself with a moisturizer for ease. The benefits are many and after a few days of massage, you will gain flexibility.

Hand care

If you are a fan of organic and DIY (Do It Yourself: do it yourself), you can use olive oil mixed with a few drops of lavender oil. Put the mixture on all your hands and nails, and let it sit all night in cotton gloves. After washing with fresh water, your hands will be hydrated and nourished deeply.

I hope these tips to find soft hands have served you, do not hesitate to give me your comment.

A Century

By Robert J Martin

As many of you know that know me, I have struggled with 100 mile rides, my first two 100 mile rides being last year in 2017.

My first attempt was in February of 2017, I started off with a little bit of a stomach ache, and was way overdressed and overheated quickly. I found that I was not consuming enough of anything and started to really feel the pain. There were multiple times I wanted to stop and call for a ride, but somehow with the aid of Coke and a pickle, I was able to finish the ride. When I arrived home I was unable to do anything, very sick feeling, dizzy, etc. I had to have my daughter run up to the store for pickles, chocolate milk, and a Coke! After about 20 minutes I was starting to come back and feel normal again. I don't like feeling like I am going to pass out.

Fast forward a few months to June of 2017. I had a few friends ask me to do this 100 mile race on a MTB called the Lumberjack. 100 miles and around 10,000 feet of climbing. I immediately thought of the 100 mile ride I did in the spring and thought it was a bad idea, but I decided to try and train for it anyway. Long story short, I was doing really well in this race, on pace to break the 8 hour mark by a lot, when all of a sudden with about 10 miles to go I got a double leg cramp, one in each adductor. I told my friend I was riding with to go on without me. I probably should have stopped trying to finish this race and found medical attention, but instead I pressed on for things to only get worse. Just after I worked through the cramps by going slow I had to pee really bad. Wow, that was the worst burning urine I have ever experienced, I never knew that you could pee razor blades! Somehow even after that I tried to ride my bike, but started to get dizzy, light headed, and sick to my stomach. The feeling of passing out was right there and I had to manage myself to stay just under. I walked my bike up hills, thankfully I could coast downhill and try for that sub 8 hour mark. I eventually finished, and did so still getting under 8 hours, but I was in rough shape. Way worse than the previous century, and I really thought I was going to die. A nurse had brought over the smelly stuff to keep me conscious, and thankfully I had my wife and friends around who slowly brought me back to life.

I will get to the problem in a second. I had packed a ton of food and drink, bought a bag to go on my bike that held plenty of food. The problem I quickly found, I could not swallow food that I had to chew during a race, so yet again, I did not consume enough and had the biggest bonk of my life. This was a huge learning lesson, and led me to think of what I could do to make it 100 miles and feel good the whole time.

Thankfully on Sunday March 4th 2018 I was able to test out my plan for making it. For me it was really simple, while riding, and having dry mouth, I brought Ensure to consume which worked like magic. Not only did it replenish, but it allowed me to continue to drink the sports drink and stay hydrated. Without the Ensure, my body would normally start to reject all the sports drink, so it was a great combo for me. When we would stop for pee breaks I would eat a recovery bar with liquid, and we also stopped for a quick sweet potato fry snack to recover before finishing up. Because of the liquid food, I was able to ride the whole 105 miles without any cramps, dizziness, or feeling sick to my stomach. I also felt great the whole time.

I am hoping that if you have this problem, this solution will help you! Thanks for reading today, maybe this will cut down on your learning curve!

How Does Type 'A' Blood Affect Gains?

By Bryan Paul

For the small percentage of hard gainers struggling to pack thick muscle unto a narrow frame, sacrificing health for the sake of physique is usually the compromise. However, becoming conscious of restrictions and allotments based on blood type is the key to ensuring the attainment of the physique you want while optimizing health.

I chose type 'A' blood type not only because it's my personal blood type but it is also a high maintenance blood type. Reason being, people with type A blood usually have hyper-sensitive immune systems and the combinations of macro-nutrients necessary to pack on weight, alongside the manipulation of insulin levels can couple the physique of your dreams with multitudes of sick days in bed.

A person with type 'A' blood performs best on vegetarian diets. However, a consumption of 50 calories worth of broccoli usually equates to 60 calories being used to burn it off--and calories are the last thing a hard gainer wants to expend. So, here are a few ways for type 'A' blood type hard gainers can gain mass and stay healthy while doing so.

1. BLEND & CONSUME FRESH VEGGIES IN BETWEEN MEALS

Being a hard gainer means placing a high priority on simple and complex carbohydrates (carbs) for the sake of ATP, insulin levels, etc. The majority of the immune system is located in the digestive tract--very little can access the bloodstream without first accessing the intestinal tract. So in order to offset taxing your already sensitive intestinal tract with complex and simple carbs, blend and consume substantial amounts of vegetables in between your biggest meals. Not only will this be beneficial to your blood type once the nutrients from the vegetables enter your bloodstream, but the texture of the vegetables acts as a brush along the lining of your intestinal tract, cleaning as it moves along.

2. ONLY SPIKE INSULIN LEVELS WHEN YOU'RE SURE IT WILL BE UTILIZED QUICKLY

Sugar has an adverse effect on the immune system, but the insulin spike from sugar ensures that the hard gainer's muscle can grow in the presence of the nutrient it needs (fat). Therefore, it is imperative to know the times of the day your body can handle insulin the best.

Your body can naturally handle insulin once you wake up in the morning. The 6-8 hour fast you entered into upon going to sleep causes those that aren't even hard gainers to enter into a hyper-catabolic phase. Of course, as the day goes by, your body won't be able to handle insulin as efficiently as the morning hours but you can usually force it proceeding a workout. Keep your highest sugar intake around these times and you'll ensure that your immune system remains optimal.

To learn more about training with type 'A' blood type go to fitness tips and nutrition.

Forget Metal Braces Hardships, the Easy Invisalign Treatment Promotes Sweet Smiles

By Harikrishna Patel

Cosmetic dentistry along with the regular treatments for routine problems are all elevated by means of technology and software. Whether you need the radiographs that aid an exact diagnosis, or the Invisalign Treatment that promotes straight teeth, the power of technology is mighty. The excellent dentist has a large range of treatments to find solutions to whatever the problem may be and they attend to all the generations in the family tree. While the gums, bone, and face in addition to the teeth should all be considered, the esthetic element cannot be ignored, especially nowadays with so much of media and mighty competition.

While crooked teeth may not result in pain or decay or require extractions, they do get in the way of the mastication process and are an impediment to proper speech. Further, bad teeth are often the cause of lacking confidence and lost smiles. Lapse of nature as seen in haphazard teeth could be set right without using those uncomfortable metal braces, unlike the past. Some people keep it pending, perhaps for years. Why not seek a consultation and discuss the pros and cons? Witness a brand new lease of life descending upon you with the plastic aligners that would gradually move the position of the teeth over a few months!

General Dentistry

Children and the older generation probably need the most extensive dental services, kids at the growing age and the aged who usually witness more problems and may need dentures to get along. The concerned dentists carry out the basics like checkups, cleanings and fillings, whitening and veneers. Should you need dentures, partially or wholly, get them done here. Those minor treatments like inlays and onlays restore the shape and appearance of teeth. Those jewel-like teeth that you may carry for a lifetime require maintenance. Small flaws are corrected by means of veneers, inlays or onlays that hide surface or inner deficiencies. Chipped and cracked teeth would be restored in similar ways.

Pay adequate attention to the teeth

Though dental problems are never life-threatening, they can get serious enough. Take care of the teeth, and be concerned. Those who are lucky to have regular, problem-free teeth are blessed indeed, but brushing, flossing, hygiene, food, and beverages would all become important for the future. Tobacco and alcohol along with dark substances stain the teeth and whitening would be necessary to restore the normal shining appearance. Invisalign Treatment is the dynamic approach that straightens teeth with transparent aligners that nobody will know about!

The sedation aspect

As far as possible, many people would wish to avoid dentists altogether. That is the wrong policy since dental problems may be developing and checkups ensure that you are maintaining optimum oral health. Keeping a watch may ensure that developing problems are attended to before they get serious and require more attention and added expense. The hesitation often involves the sedation aspect that becomes necessary according to the seriousness of the treatment. Fillings, cleaning, and whitening may require no sedation at all.

Local anesthesia, nitrous oxide or oral sedation would be used according to necessity and depending upon the level of treatment. The purpose is to numb the area and inject the anesthetic so that no discomfort is felt. Nitrous oxide is inhaled and has the similar effect. No loss of consciousness is involved but a resistance to pain during the treatment. Sedation is certainly nothing to get worried about.

The common dental treatments

Instead of getting worried about emergencies, concentrate on the existing problems and seek solutions. Along with the orthodontic treatments about teeth regularity, periodontal attention should be sought for the surrounding structures and their health. Implants are important and should follow extractions because it is not wise to leave vacancies in the mouth that affect chewing and speech besides impacting self-esteem. Crowns and bridges are also regular features of dental treatments as is root canal therapy.

Enduring solutions to crooked teeth

It is good to think that the regular teeth with better functions and the sweet smile are permanent, once the treatment is successfully completed within a few months. Aren't we lucky that the teeth are not permanently fixed and nature allows some adjustment?   Invisalign Treatment applies to every age and the synthetic aligners may be removed if needed, while eating, for instance. Several aligners are used by turns till the ideal teeth structure is achieved. It is goodbye to the hassles of metal braces nowadays.

Eagle Family Smiles is where the best dental treatments are done. They promote smiles through the  Invisalign Treatment, according to the veteran writer of this article.
