5 Tips for Better Rest

The quality of their nighttime sleep tends to be better as well. Unfortunately, finding opportunities to rest during daylight hours in our society is not so easy - the North American culture is actively opposed to the whole concept, bombarding us with stimulation in more and more places and times.


If you want to embrace the concept of napping - as many cultures worldwide do - consider the following:


Accept napping as a positive thing. Remind yourself frequently that napping can make a day more productive - it is actually the opposite of being lazy.

3-4 cups warm vegetable stock

1 small onion, minced


1 cup Arborio rice


Salt and pepper to taste

5 Ways to Help Sinus Problems

Chronic sinus problems don't necessarily require drugs or surgery - diet and lifestyle play important roles. Besides avoiding polluted, dusty and smoky environments (and secondhand smoke), try the following to help reduce the symptoms of chronic sinus problems:


Eliminate milk and all milk products from your diet (including prepared foods that list dairy and its byproducts as ingredients). This can lead to dramatic improvement after about two months.


Take astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous), the root of a native Chinese plant that boosts immune system function. The usual dose is two capsules twice a day unless otherwise directed on the package label.

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

Dermatosis papulosa nigra is a condition, not a disease, seen almost exclusively in blacks. It occurs in about one-third of all black people and is twice as common in women as in men.


Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

What does it look like? Tiny, smooth, raised, mole-like spots that appear on the face and neck that are darker than the skin around them. Resembling flat warts, they begin around the age of puberty, are inherited, can vary in number from just a few to hundreds, and become more numerous as a person gets older. They never become malignant; in other words, they are not precancer-ous growths.


If you have a lot of these tumors and are unhappy with the way they look, a dermatologist can remove them simply and easily with a variety of methods.

Diabetes and how it affects Sexual Health

Since glucose is the major energy source for your nerves, blood vessels and muscles, maintaining healthy blood sugar levels in the body is extremely essential to help the body maintain healthy biological functions.


The longer the time you’ve had diabetes, lesser is the control which you have over your blood glucose levels and hence, higher is the risk of dysfunctions and complications. Sexual dysfunction is primarily a complication which results from damage to the body’s blood vessels and nerves which are responsible for supplying blood to the sexual organs of the body.


Modifications and changes in your lifestyle may be necessary to improve your overall sexual health. These changes would include, having a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, blood pressure as well as cholesterol control, avoiding cigarette smoking, bringing down your alcohol consumption to a bare minimum and very importantly, stress management.
