			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">As we get older, painful, stiff joints, rheumatism and other sign of wear and tear become all too common. There are many ways to minimize the discomfort that the aging process brings. Good nutrition and remaining as active as a possible are as curial as ever, and massage can help reducing pain, alleviating stiffness and retaining mobility. It also increases the blood circulation and gently releasing stiffness and flexibility, it is a good way to help keep active. Many older people suffer from pain and aches brought on by cold damp water. A warm bath using aromatic essential oils such as lavender can comfort, soothe and relax you. Massage stiff joints such as at wrist, knees, ankles, and the hip. If the joint is affected by rheumatoid arthritis, massaging above and below the swollen area can relieve the pain by relaxing the surrounding muscles. Avoid any swollen or inflamed areas. Osteoarthritis comes with aging and usually affects the hips and knees. Massage can help to fulfill the deep-seated need for touch and communication, bringing psychological as well as physiological benefits and contributing to well balance lifestyle. Some expert says that stroking pets can help to lower blood pressure, relieve depression, speed recovery and may reduce the chances of a heart attack and your pet will enjoy it too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Did you know red meat is the richest source of iron? The livers particularly and there are also other meats have iron like the chicken, turkey, pork, fish and shellfish. While other resource like vegetables, nuts, and seeds are good in iron too. Increase your energy level by eating iron rich foods. They are sources of the air and strengthen our body to sustain our daily activity. The body can&#8217;t absorb the iron as easily as from animal’s sources. Now iron is added to some food we like to eat like for cereal, dread and pasta.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are some 2 ways to increase the level of iron in our body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">-	Don’t drink coffee or tea because it contains polyphenol that can decrease the absorption of iron. Polyphenol tends to block in the iron and it makes more difficult to be absorb.<br />
-	 Take foods with a high amount of vitamin c like orange because it keeps absorb the iron better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Many people have been misconception about allergies. First and fore most it is important to understand the fact about food sensitivities. On the other hand, true food allergy that many confuse with food tolerance is manifested through symptoms that quickly appear within minutes to an hour after eating the offending food. The symptoms associated with true food allergies are usually skin-related, such as hives, rashes and respiratory system and difficulty in breathing and asthma. A true food allergy may also cause one to experience the common food borne illness symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Food allergy symptoms may became systemic and cause anaphylaxis that sometimes leads to death. This is the reason why food allergies are serious.<br />
Consumer may take the following step to reduce the risk of allergic reactions at home or in the workplace.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">You’re into sport or do lot of walking, you may have experience getting a blister on your foot. What is <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>blister</strong></span></em>, a small swelling of the skin that certain fluid called serum or plasma. When the skin on your foot rubs continuously against your shoe it cause blister, it also caused by burning including sunburn, freezing, skin infection or exposure to chemicals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Foot blister are the most common the best way to prevent blister from getting infected is to take care of the area where the blister located. Sometimes blister can be very painful because of the broken skin. To additional protection, cover the blister with adhesive bandage, for larger blister use a gauze pad that can absorb moisture. If the pain prevents you from walking consult a doctor before attempting to puncture a blister. Dealing with blister might not be difficult, but they’re some possible infection. It is important to make sure your hands; blister and puncturing tool are clean. First wash your hand and the part with blister with sop and water. Disinfect the blister for the second time with iodine or alcohol. Once the blister is cleaned, use sterilized sharp needles to puncture the blister near the edge. Allow the fluid the drain on its own leaving the skin intact. After the fluid has drained apply some antibiotic ointment on the blister and cover with gauze pad. Replace the pad at least once a day. When buying a pair of shoes, it is the best to buy toward the end of the day because your feet tend to expand throughout the day.</p>

One large apple has a much fiber (five grams) as a cup of raw broccoli. Control TV viewing, the more you watch TV shows the more you likely to miss physical activities. Drink 8 glasses of water every day, water not only quenches your thirst it can also speed the body metabolism.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If you can’t eat your burger without fries then you may have a serious potato addiction or a very healthy appreciation of these tuberous crops. And to those looking for a low labor method of growing potatoes, the no till way is the perfect choice.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What you need</span></strong>:<br />
-	A plot of land to plant your potatoes. (This may be a part of the yard if you want)<br />
-	Bales of straw or hay.<br />
-	1 kilogram of potatoes seeds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What will you do</strong></span>?<br />
-	Cut each potatoes seed to about one fourth of its size.<br />
-	On your plot of land, make rows on the ground about 1 meter part.<br />
-	Set a piece of potato about every 0.5 meter.<br />
-	Cover the rows with straw or hay, at least 0.3 m wide and 15 cm deep in the center.<br />
-	Wait for the taters to take root within a few days. When the leaves of the potato plant poke through the straw and add a few more bales of straw and keep adding as the potatoes keep growing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Some reminders</span></strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1.	If the ground is very dry, give the straw a good soaking just until it is able to hold enough moisture to take care of the potato plants.<br />
2.	When bugs attack your potatoes, whip out your garden gloves and squish these creatures’ dead. You may also spray them with pesticide, but make sure you use the organic variety.</p>

-	Vitamin D intoxication (overdose)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Probable symptoms</strong></em></span></p>
<p>-	Mild pain. This occurs when small pieces of the stone break off and travel down with the urine through the ureters. The pain usually starts in the back, just below the ribs and follows the path of the stone. Once the stone reaches the blade the pain normally subsides.<br />
-	Severe stabbing pain, the result if the large stone enters an ureters.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Helpful Dietary Management</strong></em></span></p>
<p>-	Eat a diet low in sodium and low to moderate in protein plus a high fluid intake.<br />
-	Drink enough water –about 8 ½ glasses (eight ouch glass) spread within the day at regular intervals to maintain a urine volume of 2 liters per day. Maintaining a large urine volume ensures that mineral concentrations in the urine will be diluted, therefore reducing the risk of stone formation.<br />
-	Eat fresh, natural foods instead of processed canned meats.<br />
-	Avoid commercial chips and crackers.<br />
-	Reduce sodium in the diet, gradually<br />
-	Avoid tea, coffee, alcoholic and carbonated beverages<br />
-	Read labels. Sodium can be found in food, water, medicines, toothpastes, and mouthwash.</p>
