Time for the vet

sad-dogIf your pooch is not eating, is vomiting, is lethargic, seems depressed or is ‘just not himself’, do not hesitate to see the vet. Don’t wait for him to get worse.

And take care to choose the right vet: Go with recommendations from other dog lovers or check out a reliable pet magazine. Consider these points: Does the vet ask you questions about your pet? Does your dog like him or is he scared of him? (It is natural for a dog to be a bit nervous of a vet, but he should not seem too frightened.) Do you feel comfortable with the way he treats your dog? And, finally, the most important query – does your vet have a proper license?

Healthier you

You know the saying, you can take a horse to the water, you can’t make him drink. I am taking you to water via different routes. Enjoy it.

  • Don’t eat food in portions larger than your fist.
  • Do-it-yourself. Do you own laundry. Dust your won shelves, buy your own groceries. Don’t leave it to your domestic help.
  • Takes the weight off you.
  • Avoid buffets. Be the diva and get the chef to make you something special. Ask nicely.
  • Therapeutic massages help control stress and put your body in a state of relaxation, allowing it to internally start a healing process. And no, it has nothing to do with sex.
  • While oil and carbs are the big guns of bad health, the word is out that no carbs and no oil is even worse. Low carbs is the mantra.
  • The bad news. You can stay on the treadmill for hours and not lose weight. The good news. You can stay on the treadmill and watch your calories. It works wonders.
  • If you are a chronic sufferer of migraine, blood pressure, and other ailments that refuse to go away, ask your doctor to enroll you for a biofeedback reading. It enables you to monitor your body, to recognize stress build-up and to make you more aware of when the monster is going to strike again. Our grandmothers were right: Prevention is really better than cure.
  • Change your routine. While there is great comfort in habits, health and fitness experts claim that changing routines frequently keeps you alert because you are entering new territory which could throw up surprises, good and bad. It helps the body cope with new obstacles, lower immunity to situations and generally helps you cope better with life situations.
  • Stay balanced. If you have a sedentary lifestyle, join a dance class, a trekker’s club, in short, stay active. If you are a travel guide, join a book club, watch movies that make you laugh, in short, stay passive.
  • When you are tempted to take a second helping, give yourself 20 minutes before you do. Research shows it takes that long for the stomach to signal to the brain that it has had enough.
  • Rise with the sun, sleep with the moon. Ancient wisdom. Still applicable.

Sometimes it’s not just the grandchildren your parents want to connect with – they may like some time with you too! Yes, they know you are there for them in a crisis; but once in a while, it’s good to just have a chat, pass the time of day, do something together…

  • Make it a point to call them up at least once a week, and don’t be in a hurry to rush through to the end of the conversation.
  • Send a thoughtful gift every once in a while – even if there’s no occasion or festival.
  • Take time to visit in person. If your parents live far away, try and organize at least an annual visit during a special festival.
  • When you do visit, make it a point to do things with your parents, rather than staying out all day with friends: It could be just spending time in the garden admiring your mother’s plants over tea; or it could be listening to old records with your father.
  • Where, when and how depend on your specific situation, but it’s a good idea to arrange surprise holidays for your parents. Take care to choose a place they would enjoy – your idea (or your children’s) of a perfect vacation may be their idea of mayhem!
  • Don’t forget their special days – such as birthdays and marriage anniversaries – now that you have a family of your own to tend. At least cal, even if you can’t be there in person or forget to send them a gift or a card.

Ready, Steady, Baby!

Pregnancy is not an illness; it is a natural phenomenon. Contrary to traditional belief, you carry on your daily activities at this time – climbing stairs, bending, light lifting. Activity ups your chances of a trouble-free normal delivery. If there’s cause for concern, your gynae will tell you anyway.

  • Good muscle tone is important for easy childbirth. Yoga and stretching exercises are good. Begin with the fingers, go on to wrists, elbows, shoulders; similarly legs; twist and turn, bend from side to side – it is good for your hips too. Walk every day for 40 minutes.
  • Breathing exercises are important too. There are two kinds of breathing: that using the abdominal muscles and that using the chest or rib cage. Abdominal breathing is the normal sort, where you can see your belly swell and relax as you breathe. But as the pregnancy advances, abdominal breathing is less effective. So train for chest breathing: Take deep breaths with your stomach pulled in, so that your chest expands.
  • Doing these exercises near the sea, in an open park or near greenery is best. Early morning or after sunset is a good time for breathing exercises.
  • Gym workouts, as in light cardio or weight training, can be continued. But avoid anything strenuous.
  • Work out on a slightly empty stomach – two hours after a light meal is fine.

That crick in your neck

You wake up and can’t turn your head. Your first thought is you slept funny. More likely you strained your neck the day before – cradling the phone between your neck and shoulder, for example. To relax those frozen muscles, first take a nice hot shower. Then try this kink remover:

Lie back with knees up, feet flat on the floor, head down; pull in stomach, tuck chin in slightly. Slowly and gently turn head right, then left, five times each. See the doctor if the pain is severe or radiates down your arms, or if you have chills or fever.

Gob Bless You!

A sneeze. A scratch. A tear. Typically, these reflexes barely register on your consciousness or, if they do, its as an annoyance. In reality, however, each is an unconscious action that, in its own way provides essential protection against disease causing microbes or toxins before they can do harm.

Scratching is a natural reaction to itching, which is triggered by tiny receptors in the skin’s nerve endings.

Coughing helps to clear mouth, throat and lung tissues of foreign invaders, such as moulds, pollen, dust mites and pet dander, as well as mucus laden with microbes. The irony of this is that many respiratory infections may be spread by droplets of pathogens put into the air by the cough.

Sneezing is like coughing but directed through the nose. We also sneeze to get ride of microbes that multiply in the nasal passageways, as the result of having cold.

Vomiting occurs when harmful substances in the stomach are identified by the receptors in the walls of the digestive tract.

Tearing keeps the surface of the eyes moist and sterile. Tears also protect the eye when dust or debris irritate it. Crying, a natural response to stress, flushes away certain harmful chemicals produced by anxiety.

Despite this impressive range of barriers, reflexes and chemicals, dangerous invaders do occasionally manage to penetrate the body.

  • When it is one toast too many: If you are a modest drinker, even a little excess can make you sorry, so it is best not to get too carried away.
  • Is there a right amount? Take no more than 30 ml of hard liquor, 100 ml of wine or 350 ml of beer (the amount that a typical shot glass, wineglass or beer bottle respectively hold) per hour. It is all an average person can metabolize in that time. Also, alcohol is dehydrating, so follow each drink with water or juice.
  • What to do if you overdid it: If you wake up with a pounding headache, rehydrate with water and drinks that contain frutose (found in honey and fruit juice)

Online casinos, also known as virtual casinos are online versions of traditional casinos. Online casinos allow gamblers to play and wager on casino games through the Internet. Online casinos generally offer odds and payout percentages comparable to those of traditional casinos. Some online casinos claim to have higher payout percentages for slot machine games, and some publish audits of their payment rates on their websites. Assuming that the online casino is using a random number generator programmed properly, table games like blackjack have an established house edge. Payment rates for these games is set by the rules of the game.

Playing games with better odds can help you win more often and collect more money. In games such as online roulette games, there are many different types of bets, and all have different probabilities. The best bets can sometimes be those with the worst payment. In the best online roulette casinos, betting on many numbers payment decreases, but increases the chances of winning. Games like Craps Dice may have worse odds than others, so it is advisable to stay away from those types of games.

The video poker is completely random.
