Embarrassing Problems

Embarrassing Problems

 

If you are like most people at some point in your life you have had an embarrassing problem that you really couldn't talk about to even your closest friend. I know that when I was in high school I had a problem with dandruff and even though that doesn't seem all that much of an embarrassment for a guy in high school who was dating a popular cheer leader it was very embarrassing.
Later on when I was a working man just out of school I developed a new problem that was quite an embarrassment at the tender age of 18. Can you guess? No! I started to go bald. It was a very touchy subject even until my late thirties, however now that I'm 48 years old it's not so much of an embarrassment.
There are so many embarrassing problems that there is no way one person could have them all in one lifetime but there is a good chance that everyone has had or will have at least one.

Here are some of the top embarrassing physical problems:

  • Bad Breath
  • Acne
  • Mole or wart
  • IBS
  • Cellulite
  • Yeast 
  • To many to mention here.
If you have an embarrassing problem please don't hesitate to put it in the comments and I will research it and write about it.

Great Cold Fighting foods




Healthy, nutrient rich foods nourish your body and help cells grow and reproduce. Healthy foods also help build your body’s defenses to fight off attacks from germs that cause colds. Healthy low fat meat, whole grain, fruit, vegetables and all play a part in building up your bodies immune system.
Another important piece of your anti cold defense system is water. Dehydration increases the bodies risk of germs latching on and not letting go. Be sure to drink lots of water and healthy drinks to help your body stay hydrated. One cup of yogurt a day can help the gastrointestinal track stay healthier, which can help fight off colds. Yogurt with live cultures is the key ingredient to help keep the GI track ready. Studies suggest regular dairy intake helps you lose weight and maintain your weight at a healthy level.
Another healthy food is garlic which contains allicin. Allicin is an antibiotic that has been shown in some research, to prevent complications from a cold. I suggest you add healthy portions of garlic to many of your favorite dishes to spice them up and help your body build itself up to fight against cold germs.
Theres an old saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. So can an orange. An orange a day provides the US RDA of vitamin C. Oranges are abundant in flavonoids. Healthy flavonoids help your body’s cells regenerate and stay healthy and strong. Green bell peppers are the best vitamin C source above all vegetables. Add them to your favorite salad, or just slice one up and eat it raw. You will also find flavonoids in peppers. A great way to increase your intake of these health producing flavonoids is to prepare a green pepper dip seasoned with garlic for an added germ fighting effect.
Lean ground beef, when prepared with a bit of garlic, helps maintain cell health and ward off illness. This is a great source of protein, selenium and zinc, and if eaten with a bit of tomato, is a great defense builder during cold season.

Stress Fighting Food Choices



Sometimes life can really get you down. Working too many hours, toting your kids all over town for their wants and needs, taking care of household duties, dealing with personal or family matters, are all stress builders that can destabilize you physically, mentally, emotionally,and spiritually.

There are simple steps you can take to combat stress, starting with the foods you eat.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol when life’s particularly stressful. Stimulants and depressants can zap your energy and rob you of the fuel you need to cope with tension. Sugary foods should also be avoided , because they cause your blood sugar levels to spike then dip quickly. This can make your energy levels spike and dip at the same rate.
There are several healthy foods out there that provide you with the energy and nutrition your body needs to keep stress in check
Asparagus is high in folic acid and can help level out your mood. Folic acid and vitamin B are key in producing serotonin, a chemical that gets you into a good mood.

And though you hear negative things about red meat, it’s really a wise dinner choice for the stressed out family. Beef has high levels of iron, zinc and B vitamins. These help get you into a good mood, and help you stay there. Your favorite butcher can help you when selecting lean cuts for the healthiest choices.
We've all heard milk really does a body good. Full of calcium, protein, antioxidants, vitamins B2 and B12, it works to strengthen bones and promote healthier cell regeneration. Partnered with a healthy whole grain cereal in the morning, low fat milk is a very good way to start your day and better prepare yourself to deal with the stress that awaits you. Cottage cheese is another healthy dairy choice. When you add a fruit that’s high in vitamin C, it helps the body battle free radicals. Free radicals are elevated during your most stressed periods.

Almonds are also a great choice when it comes to readying yourself against stress. They’re high in magnesium, zinc, vitamins B2, C, and E and unsaturated fats. All are great fighters of free radicals. Not only do these nutrients help fight stress and free radicals but they also help keep heart disease at bay.
