wart

A wart is a small, rough growth resembling a cauliflower or a solid blister. It typically occurs on humans' hands or feet but often in other locations.

Warts are caused by a viral infection, specifically by one of the many types of human papillomavirus (HPV).

There are as many as 10 varieties of warts, the most common considered to be mostly harmless. It is possible to get warts from others; they are contagious and usually enter the body in an area of broken skin.

They typically disappear after a few months but can last for years and can reoccur.

There are many treatments and procedures associated with wart removal. A review of clinical trials of various cutaneous wart treatments concluded that topical treatments containing salicylic acid were more effective than placebo.

Cryotherapy appears to be as effective as salicylic acid, but there have been fewer trials.

One complicating factor in the treatment of warts is that the wart may regrow after it has been removed.

Right back on track

Ellen Says: We've all been there: we'll go to the gym for a few days, maybe a week tops, and the next week rolls around and we give in to laziness or exhaustion. We find ourselves disappointed for not going. Despite all that determination you had in the beginning, you find it difficult to make daily exercise a habit and a priority. What is wrong with these people who are able to run everyday? Why can't I do that too?

The problem isn't motivation or determination. You've probably got plenty of both. The problem is that you didn't keep at it long enough for it to become ingrained in your schedule. It wasn't a habit, but rather a temporary fix. So, how do you make exercise a priority in your life rather than something you do on a whim of inspiration?

Makes exercise a priority in your life. Just like someone who makes a habit out of drinking coffee, someone who has a habit of exercising won't feel right if they don't get in their daily exercise time. And think of it this way: what a great thing to become addicted to! Most importantly, try your best. If you fall off track, don't get discouraged. Get right back on track and don't give up!

10 Ways to Help Children Develop Healthy Habits

I always hear my friends couple, Ellen and Rinzo, a couple, that they must start moving to get a healthy lifestyle and regimen as they are both already in their forties.

Their rationale is simple: They want to live a longer life! They know that good health habits can help them reduce their risk of cardiac arrest or in common terms: a heart attack!

Well, I want to let them know that not only adults are at risk of a cardiac arrest, but kids like their youngest son, whom I fondly call as 'mutant', is also at risk.

So, I guess it is time that I should tell them how to raise a child free of cardiac arrests!

1.Be a positive role model.
2.Get the whole family active.
3.Limit TV, video game and computer time.

4.Encourage physical activities that children really enjoy.
5.Be supportive.
6.Set specific goals and limits, such as one hour of physical activity a day or two desserts per week other than fruit.
7.Don’t reward children with food.
8.Make dinnertime a family time.

9.Make a game of reading food labels.

10.Stay involved.

high blood pressure in children

Gbex says: Wooooahhhhhh, naaaahhhh, this post does not necessarily identify me to a line-up of dad and mom bloggers who blog about their children's keepsake, but let's just think that maybe, in due time or sooner or later, I am gonna be like them, too: people of the world who are most concerned with the well being of their children.

So, whether you tag me as domesticated macho or whatnot, I am gonna tell you here my buddies that children in the world , even babies, can acquire high blood pressure.

The American Heart Association recommends that all children must have a yearly blood pressure measurement.

Some children have higher blood pressures for unknown reasons.

Children who are overweight usually have higher blood pressure.

The reasons aren't fully understood. Assessing dietary and physical activity behaviors and modifications may be recommended by the doctor to lower high blood pressure in overweight children.

Parents should set a good example by not smoking and help educate their children about the dangers of smoking...

Need I say more?

beat the sweat...

Gbex says: I don't think and I hope that I will not sound so domesticated if I post this important info for mothers and nannies as well... DO you know that playing is as natural to kid as breathing? Yes it is.

It is through playing that he explores and learns about the world around him. This is why playtime is a necessary part of kid's development.

The minute a kid starts playing, he becomes more prone to sweating. Walking, jumping, running, dancing--all this flurry of activities causes his little body to produce more sweat. And if he is exposed to the sun and heat, he sweats even more.

Sweating itself is healthy and natural, since it is the body's way of regulating its temperature.

Sweat makes kid's skin feel damp and uncomfortable. And since kids is unaware of causing his discomfort and is unable to do anything about it, this makes him feels helpless and irritable.

Kid's pores are a lot smaller than an adult and are therefore easily clogged. Excessive sweating can clog kid's skin pores and can lead to rashes. And rashes can be very itchy and irritable. It is also traditionally believed that allowing sweat to dry on skin can aggrevate pre-existing conditions of colds and cough.

Since we can't prevent sweating, the best thing we can do is to make sure that his sweat doesn't stay on his skin. Before letting the kids to play, just simply apply baby powder to his skin especilly on his back, chest, neck and under arms.

Baby powder absorbs sweat -- in the same way that a towel absorbs sweat from his back. Thus, by applying baby powder even before he plays, we are able to protect his skin. So that even if he sweats, we are able to keep the sweat off his skin--leaving him feeling dry and comfortable.

Oats- for your heart's protection

Gbex says: Our heart is the center of activity in our body. Every part of our system depends on it. If our heart is healthy, our entire body benefits from it. But if not , then our whole body suffers.

Our heart is in change of pumping life-giving blood to our entire body, providing nourishment and oxygen to all the cells in our tissues, organs muscles and bones. The blood moves from the heart into our arteries, then into tiny tubes called capillaries, and finally into the veins that lead back into our heart.

Although our heart is a powerful organ, it can be damaged by disease, and poor health habits like smoking, an imbalanced diet, lack of exercise and stress. All these weaken our body and hamper our blood circulation.

Eating oats helps on our fight against the harmful effects of free radicals caused by these unhealthy practices. Combined with proper diet and regular exercise, it's assured that nothing interferes with the way our heart pumps life-giving blood and nutrients to the rest of our body...

a way to a healthy heart...

Gbex says: Last week, a treadmill was delivered to me from my benefactor who sent me a letter saying that he was giving away his old one because he just bought a new one, and he wanted me to accept it as his token of gratitude for helping him up in putting up his business.

This piece of machine is a piece of indoor sporting equipment used to allow for the motions of running or walking while staying in one place. The word treadmill traditionally refers to a type of mill which was operated by a person or animal treading steps of a wheel to grind grain. Let me tell you a bit about it... these are its advantages:

As a cardiovascular exercise:

Running or walking on a treadmill can be an effective way to work out, like other complex cardiovascular exercises (similar to non-treadmill walking/running). As with all exercise, regular treadmill use increases endurance.
Treadmills offer the benefit of reduced impact since all treadmills offer some sort of shock absorption. Exercising on a treadmill can reduce the strain to the ankles, knees and lower back of users.

As an indoor activity:

Users who would not run/walk outdoors (e.g. due to unfavourable weather conditions, uneven road surfaces, dangerous neighbourhoods or unwanted attention) may use an indoor treadmill.
Users who do not wish to join a gym may use an indoor treadmill at home.
Users can do other things while exercising, such as watching television or reading.

As a machine:

Enables exact calculation and adjustment of slope and speed.
As most of the factors of the activity are known, the energy expended may be calculated.
Some treadmills have special features such as step count, heart rate monitors, amount of calories expended.
