Water and Your Health

Aug 14 2011 Published by admin under Eye Lubricant

How long can we last with out any water? That will depend on what kind of physical shape that you are in, and what kind of environment that you are in. But one thing is for sure; you can go a lot longer with out food than water.

With out water dehydration will set in. Mild dehydration, you will have less saliva and will not urinate as much and as often as normal. Your urine will also have a deep color and strong order to it. Moderate dehydration will give you a rapid heart rate, sunken, dry eyes and mouth with little urination. Severe dehydration you will become irritable and be lethargic, you can also have diarrhea and be vomiting too. Final stage is shock with blue grayish skin color with a drop in blood pressure making the skin feel cool.

Our bodies start out at about eighty percent water when we are born, and as we age the amount of water goes down to about sixty percent or so. Keeping ourselves hydrated will also help with how healthy we stay. As a general rule start out with eight ounces eight times a day.

As a weight reducer water works very good here too. Getting enough water will help the body metabolize fat, it will flush out toxins and keeps the kidney’s working to let the liver do the fat metabolizing. Your body will not need to store water either when it is getting what it needs on a regular bases. This means no water retention.

Water is also a lubricant for the joints and discs in the spinal column. If you suffer from arthritis or joint pain and lower back pain, this can be a sign that you are not drinking enough water. Your joints may not have the fluid in them; your joint cartilage will be too dry to slide between the bones, causing premature wearing out of the joint.

A good starting point is to drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day as mentioned above. This is one half gallon of water. Now if you work out or just plane work and sweat a lot, you will need to drink more. It is also possible to drink too much water, though this is uncommon. Mostly marathon runners or high endurance athletes can get this by drinking too much water and thinning out the bloods supply of electrolytes. This is known as hyponatremia. It is best to drink water with supplement electrolytes in it if you are a high endurance athlete.

What to count as your water intake? Plan good old water, do not count any pop or caffeinated drinks of any kind. Caffeine is a diuretic and will increase the body’s loss of water. And sodas are loaded with sugars which are not good for you in the amounts that they have in them.

The quality of the water that you drink will affect your health also. You should always try to get the best water that you can through filtering. Make sure that it has all of the pollutants out of it. Also you should carry your water in only plastic containers with a recycling symbol of #2 or #4 polyethylene, also #5 polypropylene. The plastic bottles that you get your store bought water in are #1 and are only good for 1 time use only. The safest material to carry water in is stainless steel. It can be pricey, but you use it over and over again.

Olive Oil – The Multiple Uses of This Amazing Oil

Aug 05 2011 Published by admin under Eye Lubricant

Imagine standing in your local bulk buying store and wondering “Sure, it is cheaper to get the two gallon container of olive oil…but what in the world am I going to do with that much oil?” I have been doing some research on this healthy oil option and I have found that, in fact, there are numerous everyday uses for it. Some may be surprising but others make perfect sense.

1. Use it when you shave and to moisturize. Believe it or not, using olive oil in place of shaving cream will actually get you a closer shave. The great thing about using olive oil is that while you shave you it doubles as a skin moisturizer as well; saving you a step when you get out of the shower. For a mom of two little angels, I will definitely take advantage of saving a couple of steps to save me some time during the day. Also, olive oil is also great for removing eye makeup. Just dab a bit on your eye makeup and then just wipe it off with a cloth.

2. Stainless Steel Appliances and Wood Furniture. Now my stainless steel appliances cause me a great deal of headache. I get so frustrated when I clean them, especially when I am finished to see streaks all over them. Not only are they streaky but they seem dull and to have lost their shine… that is until I discovered olive oil as a shining agent. My steps are to first clean the appliance with some soapy water or a moist cleaning wipe and then to shine it up with olive oil. However, with wood furniture one can just put a bit of olive oil on a dry cloth and remove dust with ease. Just as a precaution I would try a test spot first to make sure nothing unforeseen happens. Otherwise, pretty amazing?

3. As a lubricant. So, I have a 2 and half year old and a 1 year old and one thing that I cannot have in my house is a squeaky door. Because that special time in the afternoon when my darlings are sleeping I am able to get some well needed, well deserved rest. I noticed that it can also be used on zippers of all sorts (bags, pants, luggage, etc.) Use it as a lubricant for your candle holder as well. Just rub a bit of olive oil on the decorative dish before placing your candle on it and if and when the candle drips, the wax can easily be removed.

The best anti aging skin care products all share similar traits which allow users to have luscious and vibrant skin. These products, like the ones manufactured by Revitol and Dove, make use of a special formulated cream. They work off the principle of keeping skin hydrated and moist.

This cannot be overstated enough. If your skin is optimally hydrated then your body is able to flush out toxins from the bloodstream, allowing for your skin to be supplied with pure and healthy nutrients. You can drink several glasses of water a day but the best anti aging skin care products don’t allow for such extremities. Fatty omega 3 acids, like those found in the salmon, are another component of these creams as these acids act as a lubricant for the epidermis layer. Factors such as do these products promote skin elasticity and cell renewal are also very essential if you are looking for the best of the best. If a product allows for the removal of a dark circles underneath the eyes then you know the cell renewal ability is very potent.

Furthermore this also shows that removing fine lines and wrinkles will be no hard struggle as dark circles are one of the worst culprits when it comes to highlighting peoples age and skin quality. Sometimes though these bags can just be the result of someone squinting too often because of their myopia. Luckily they are a few creams out there that deserve to bracketed as the best anti aging skin care products.

Beauty Tip: Perfect Eyebrows

Mar 10 2011 Published by admin under Eye Lubricant

Eyebrows are a natural frame for the eyes and should be in proportion to the face. Perfectly shaped eyebrows will enhance the look of your eyes, your face and will accentuate your makeup while; ill kept, unruly eyebrows will hide the beauty of your eyes.

1. Pluck only from the underside of the brow in the direction that the hair grows. Don’t pluck from the top of the brow and chance plucking too much and losing the shape of the brow. You may also want to pluck any stray hairs between the brows. If you find it painful apply a lubricant before you pluck, preferably one that had a dulling effect like oral gel.

2. If you find your eyebrows are starting to thin use a brow color to fill them in using feather strokes, do not draw on lines in place of eyebrows.

3. Brows should be the same color as your hair or a shade lighter.

4. Your brow should start right above the inner corner of your eye. To determine where the eyebrow should start place a pencil against the nostril and line it up with the inner corner of your eye. Your eyebrow should end at a diagonal with the outer corner of your eye. To determine this, place a pencil at the side of your nose ending at the outer corner of your eye. The eyebrow should arch above the outer rim of the iris.

Be careful when you tweeze and if you are unsure go to a professional. Incorrect tweezing can ruin the look of your eyebrows and after a certain time the eyebrow will not grow back. If you do use a professional, keep regular appointments and don’t let your eyebrows get too unruly between appointments. Or, after you have had a professional do your eyebrows keep them in shape by plucking the stray hairs as they grow.

Three Essential Points For Caring For Wooden Garage Doors

Jan 01 2011 Published by admin under Eye Lubricant

Wooden garage doors are a top choice for homeowners. The designs available best match the charm and warmth of a home. And it does help that doors made of wood are more affordable than those made of any other material.

Just like any other major appliance or fixture in the home, wooden doors require some amount of care if you want your investment to last a long time. Don’t let the mass and size of your garage door intimidate you. You only need to have a keen eye on these three main areas:

1. The Moving Parts – Hinges, tracks, chains and other mechanical parts take a beating everyday. Less rust and dirt on the mechanism helps keep the system operate quietly and lessens the chance for major mechanical problems. Keep moving parts clean and well lubricated. All you need is your favorite all-purpose household lubricant or oil and an old toothbrush to reach into the tiny spaces. You can also spray some WD-40 on those parts that need to get un-stuck. Tighten up any loose screws. Make sure that the locking system works.

Check also the alignment of the door’s rollers against the tracks. Call the pros if the door does not completely close or open because of misalignment, a faulty panel, or if a part needs to be replaced. Keep in mind that a broken door not only makes your home vulnerable to theft, it may also cause unnecessary accidents to pets and people.

2. The Weather-Proofing Features – Peek in between and on the sides of the panels of the door. See if the weather stripping is still holding up. Pay particular attention to the bottom of the door. This part meets the pavement and weather stripping here gets the most beating. Replace worn out weather stripping as soon as you can.

Wooden garage doors, especially single-panel types, tend to droop in the middle part as the wood contracts and expands because of humidity changes throughout the year. But this can easily be fixed with a metal rod to act as a brace.

3. The Paint or Stain – The aesthetic charm of wood comes from being able to see and feel the grain even under the paint or varnish. But there’s more to the paint job than just helping your house look great. The paint layer protects the wood from moisture and harsh temperatures that cause cracks and sagging. It may seem like a thick enough coat but sunshine, rain and snow will bear down on the finish after a year or so. Warped wooden panels will in turn affect how the mechanical parts run.

Take note of any weathering or stripping on either side of the door. The lower part of doors are closer and more prone to damage caused by water and snow accumulating on the pavement. This part of the maintenance check is especially crucial if you live in an area known for extreme weather conditions.

Newly installed doors will start to show some wear and tear after a year. So it’s best to go through a regular run through of the mechanism, the weather stripping and the paint annually. Remember that the garage door not only helps hide the vehicle and the other stuff in your garage. It also forms part of the protective shell of your home.
