What is Dehydration
Dehydration can be deadly, this occurs when more water exits the body, then we take in. It is extremely important to keep your body hydrated especially in high activity situations. Remember, the body needs water to function normally. When you become extremely dehydrated, some of the body's organs may start to fail. Seeking medical help at this point would be advisable.
What causes dehydration?
Basically what causes dehydration is when you need to rehydrate with fluids but you don't do this enough. In a few cases, it may be something not functioning normally that causes you not to be able to rehydrate. In these cases, an IV may be required to get proper redecoration.
When we sweat, we lose water and the water is needed to be re hydrated. Especially on hot days, you want to rehydrate more because you will be sweating more therefore losing more water.
Diarrhea will cause a person to be dehydrated because of the loss of fluids. This is bacially the most common way a person become dehydrated. Children die each year from dehydration from diarrhea, more then four million children.
When you vomit, this causes a person to be dehydrated because of loss of fluids plus when the fluids are trying to be replaced, they may not be able to because you may keep vomiting up the fluids.
How do I know if I'm dehydrated?
When you feel more thirsty to drink more water and your pee has more urine in it (your pee is more yellow). These are signs that you are dehydrated and that you need to rehydrate your body.
Also when you are beginning to feel dry mouth, the body may begin to stop sweating, can cause vomiting, or lightheadedness when you stand up.
When these symtoms a rise, you need to treat it however that you need to, by rehydrating or simply just seeing a doctor. If dehydation gets way out of hand, it can cause death at the most fatal expense.

Do Air Purifiers Work?
Air Purifiers have made purifying air easy and affordable. One of the most nastiest air that you can breath in is indoor air. Especially when it is winter and you can not have the windows open to let fresh air inside your house. Fresh Air smells great and it makes you feel good! It is extremely good for your lungs and makes you feel good! They are easy to maintain, usually you buy a new filter or it is the kind where you clean some type of filter. I have an Ionic Pro Turbo, so I just take out the 3 blades and clean them off with soap or water, I do this either every week or 2.
Do Air Purifiers Work?
I have had mine for more then a year. I used to have moldy smells here and there. They are completely gone. I don't even notice them. The Ionic Pro Turbo does a good job at getting rid of these odors. I have 3 Siberian Husky's and it does a good job with dog odor also. When I take a deep breath, it feels so good to take a breath of clean air. It limits the amount of dusting that we have to do. This is good for us and our lungs. It fights a lot of viruses and bacteria that are in the air. I haven't gotten sick to often since I got it, so I feel that it is working. Air Purifiers do work, get an air purifier like the Ionic Pro Turbo, and I guarantee that you will start to notice a diffence in the purity of the air.
Protect you and your family
Bad air is bad for you and your family's health. Breathing in all the dust,mold, and other harmful thing the air is unhealthy. You want to come home to a home with fresh relaxing air rather then one with nasty air with all these harmful things in it. If you have allergies, this is a must. It will filter out so many allergy particles which will relieve your allergies. It just sucks trying to relax while dealing with allergies. An air purifier is something that you will never regret buying. If money is a problem, there are plants that do a good job at purifying the air also.
What Kind of Air Purifier should I get?
The one that I recommend that you get is the ionic pro turbo. It's pretty affordable and this is one where you just clean the filters. I really like it and it does a good job and purifying air. It make me breath so much better taking out all those harmful particles that are in the air. It does a good job at battling odors. Like I said before, I have 3 dogs and it really does a good job with that. The air tastes so fresh and just makes me feel good. I recommend that you go with the ionic pro turbo because it does a good job for the price.
Take Action

Stomach Ache Remedies
One thing I hate is a stomach ache. Stomachs just plain suck and it is a very uncomfortable feeling. We wish stomach aches would just go away but sometimes they stay around for awhile. This can upset your day and conflict with the things we need to do. Especially if you have to do something active, this can be a major problem.
Stomach Ache Remedies
The one that I usually use is I take a peppermint candy and put it in my mouth. This little remedy sure does the trick and works pretty quick. Sometimes it might just be that you have to go to the bathroom. Try going to the bathroom and see what happens.
Eating something with real ginger in it can also help cure stomach aches. Try drinking some ice water, this can aid in stomach relief. Sometimes all you may need to do is relax and it may go away. Also by just forgetting about it, this may cause it to go away.
Try to keep track of what you eat. Note when you eat something and when the stomach ache occurs. By doing this, you may be able to track down the cause of a stomach ache in which then you can limit yourself to that certain food.
If you can prevent it, then you won't have to go through the hassle of trying to get rid of a stomach ache. You can also use pepto bismo for stomach relief. Try the peppermint trick, and if it does not work for you, then get some over the counter medication. The most important thing is to get you the relief that you need!

Why am I so tired
Sometimes it seems like we are tired all the time. We don't understand why this is so you keep asking yourself, Why am I so tired?. It could be from drinking to much soda or energy drinks, these drinks will make you crash after awhile and will make you feel more tired. If you have to much of these drinks, the body forgets how to wake up on its own and uses all the sugars and caffeine from the soda and energy drinks. Try not to drink so much soda or energy drinks and see if you feel better. Another thing that can cause this is stressed. If your really stressed out about something, this will make you tired. Try to relieve your stress in anyway you can. You may need to try a Stress Relief Program to give you help with relieving stress. Another thing that can cause you to be tired is lack of exercise. Even if it is only 10 minutes a day it should make a difference. Switch it up a little bit, do something one day and do something different another day for you exercises. Exercising releases endorphins which make you happier. This gives you a good sense of feel about yourself. This will relieve stress and it will make you feel less tired. If you don't exercise, then you will feel tired all the time but if you do, then you won't feel tired like you have been feeling.
In another words, it is not just you that feels tired all the time. They're a lot of people feeling the same way. By doing these few simple techniques, should make you feel refreshed in no time and full of energy.

Quit Soda
I quit drinking soda on July 3rd, 2008. I still haven't had one since that time. It seems like I feel better then I did when I was drinking soda. I used to drink like 3 or 4 cans a day. My stomach would get upset very easy and now that I quit I don't have that problems, boy I sure don't miss that! I have more energy then I did when I drank soda. My body was so used to using the soda to wake up rather then doing it naturally. I try to drink water but sometimes I like to have juice. It is good for you, gives you your fruits and vegetables. I just try not to drink to much juice. I have been drinking chocolate milk also. I thought quitting soda would be hard but one day I just decided to have soda no more and that was it. It rots your teeth and everything else. I try to stay away from caffeine as much as I can also. I feel a lot healthier then I ever have before. I would just drink soda after soda and then I wouldn't feel to good. Water tastes even better now then it did before. I drink water at work and then when I get home from a hard days work, I have juice or something. Some people may have to seek help to quit soda. Even with unhealthy eating, you may have to seek other peoples advice or may even have to buy some type of program. The Secret Cravings Ebook can help you fight those cravings. Sometimes we need a little extra boost to achieve our goal!

How to Lower your Blood Pressure
Do you have High Blood Pressure? I know that most people would like to do something about it. High blood pressure is not good. Blood moves through arteries at a higher pressure then normal. Arteries are the pipeline of your body. High Blood pressure damages your blood vessels. This can lead to having a stroke, kidney failure, heart disease and heart attack.
What you want to do is to keep yourself as calm as possible. Even if something really wants to make you flip, you want to stay calm. Watch what you eat, and eat foods that are good for you. Don't smoke, this makes your blood pressure higher, or even any tobacco product. Make sure you exercise, if your over weight, losing weight will lower your blood pressure. Exercising itself will lower your blood pressure also. Limit your sodium, alcohol and caffeine intake for these will make your blood pressure higher.
Try taking deep breaths and just relax. Maybe go for a relaxing walk. Read a relaxing book. Do something that you love doing to relieve stress which will lower your blood pressure. Exercising is really good because it will get your body fit, it will lower stress and lower your blood pressure. Exercising will also do a whole bunch of other things. Try to enjoy like and live it to its fullest.
If none of these work you maybe have to take medicine. Consult your doctor and see what he/she thinks.

Why I don't smoke
A lot of people that I know smoke. Being around them sometimes made me feel pressured, but I still said no. My dad smoked for years, he finally quit. He had to quit because of his heart. I wish he would of quit a long time before that or that he had started in the first place.
First of all, it's really bad for your health. A lot of people know this but they don't realize how bad it really is. Sometimes we think "oh that's bad" but everything is bad at some point so then we never think twice. Smoking isn't good at all, they think they need it but they are just addicted because they started and cant stop.
Smoking not only increases your risk of serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke and lung disease, but it can also contribute to cosmetic problems such as wrinkles and discolored teeth. Why would you want to do something that increased the risks of all this?
The development of cataracts is 2-3 times higher in smokers then non-smokers. My dad was a smoker for a lot of years and he had to get surgery done in both eyes due to cataracts. In some studies, people who smoked have had hearing loss rather then people who did not smoking. Smoking around kids can cause ear infection. Smoking can reduce your sense of smell and cause cancer of your nasal cavity and nasal sinus. I love to bite into a juicy steak. Smoking can affect your sense of taste. A nice juicy steak wouldn't be that good to taste if I couldn't taste it now would it? It also affects the color of your teeth to be yellow,tooth decay, cancer of the mouth, and bad breath. Smoking is a major cause of strokes, causing strokes in 40% of people under 65. If you quit smoking, you will have the same risk of stroke as a non smoker in 5-15 years.
Smoking can cause cancer of the throat, voice box and food pipe. At least 50% of these cancers are caused by smoking. Smoking can make your skin discolored, dry,leather like, and with a ton of wrinkles especially around the eyes. Smoking is extremely bad for your lungs and causes lung cancer. It makes your more increase chance to respiratory infections. Smoking increases the risk of heart disease. Smokers risk of having a heart attack is 2-6 times higher then non-smokers. It’s good to know that if you quit smoking, your risk of heart disease drops dramatically after just 12 months. Smoking increases your risk of developing a stomach ulcer and stomach cancer.
The list goes on and on.
Basically all smoking does for you is cause a whole bunch of cancers that you don't want, makes it so you can't breath, gives you a great chance of messing up your heart and a whole bunch of other stuff. This is why I never started smoking and why I never will smoke. I don't want any of this and I don't see that it would be doing be any good cause all of this. Smoking is an unhealthy act. If you are trying to quit smoking, I wish you the best of luck to get your health back into your hands. If you never have smoked, that is awesome. If you smoke and you don't want to stop, I don't have anything against you, I just want you to know that it is unhealthy and all the effects of it to maybe make you think twice. If you still don't change your mind, that's your own choice. I will never touch one of those nasty things. I know in my mind what it will do to me and I know it won't help me in any way. This is why I don't smoke.
