For example, not only will alcohol and drug dependency be addressed, but addictions dealing with issues like emotional, “things” or “people” attachments. The general concept is that these cravings or yearnings are ongoing in spite of the fact that they cause the addicted person, and at times others, harm at various levels; social, psychological and physical. And on the whole, the addictive disorders that are discussed are considered progressive or advancing in nature, and chronic or lasting for a long period of time, with distinct periods of recurrence. There are some alarming facts to consider regarding addictive disorders. For instance, a recent report in the National Drug Addiction Recovery Month Kit showed the cost of alcohol and illicit drug use in the workplace, including lost productivity, accidents and medical claims to be an estimated $140 billion per year. Another fact: every eight seconds, a person dies due to a tobacco-related illness, according to the World Health Organization. Also, an estimated 28 percent to 30 percent of people in the U.S.A. alone have an addictive substance abuse disorder, a mental health disorder or both, according to a 2002 report by the National Mental Health...

Body Builder Beware Charting Your BMI Body Building Tips Resources Ebook Sample Content Preview INTRODUCTION TO BODY BUILDING This book is an exploration.  We will explore the fascinating history of body building, which can be traced as far back as the 11th Century, up to the 19th Century when it arrived on the North American scene. We will explore how to build your body and muscles, body building and weight lifting equipment, the “right” and the “dark” side of dietary supplements as well as the importance of proper nutrition for the serious body builder. No discussion of body and muscle building would be complete without covering consumer health fraud.  Bogus claims and promises of unrealistic results have been around for decades.  The explosion of marketing on the internet has, unfortunately, created an exponential increase in unsavory providers ready and willing to bilk unsuspecting consumers. Muscle Mania will explore package labeling and what you should know about before you buy.  The content we cover presents a broad outline rather than substantive personal recommendations.   Nothing within should be construed as  anything more than educational and should never replace medical advice from a professional physician.

A massage clears the passages towards the harmonious function of one’s mind and body, thereby unifying the two elements. In the physical sense, a massage will definitely induce relaxation and good blood circulation. The motion from the massage also induces the excretion of toxins from the body.

Just think about giving a massage to your loved one and effectively relieving her of the pains in her muscles and joints.

DIAGNOSING CHOLESTEROL CAUSES CHOLESTEROL MEDICATIONS NATURAL TREATMENTS HERBAL REMEDIES LIVING HEALTHY Sample Content Preview INTRODUCTION Cholesterol has been around for thousands of years.  It’s a natural function of the human body.  The modern story of cholesterol and how it affects us today, actually began during a government study in 1951. The Pentagon sent pathologists to Korea to examine the bodies of servicemen who lost their lives during the war.  Autopsies were conducted on 2,000 soldiers. The results were astounding to the medical community of that time.  Normally, no one under 35 dies of coronary heart disease.  Remember, this was 1951! More than 75 percent of the soldier had yellow deposits of atherosclerotic plaque on their artery walls.  The average age of these soldiers was 21 contradicting the assumption that such artery clogging deposits were only prevalent in older men. The results of the Army pathologists rocked the medical community.  Prior to these autopsies, doctors had no idea how early the process of heart disease began.

However, our ancestors believed that epilepsy was an act of supernatural beings. The Babylonians, for one, believed that seizures were caused by demons attacking the person. The ancient Greeks on the other hand, believed that one will be afflicted with epilepsy by offending Selene, the goddess of the moon and in order to cure the disease, one has to eat mistletoe that has been picked without the aid of a blade during the time the moon is smallest in the sky. The ancient Romans did not only believe that the disease came from demons but that it was contagious as well.  To get rid of the disease, one was required to spit to expel the demons.

Stress bombards us every day from all directions.  Maybe it’s sitting in the midst of highway gridlock when you are already late for an important appointment.  Or how about the bill you forgot to pay?  It could be a phone call from the school complaining about your child’s behavior. These are just the annoying little stress triggers that we handle every day.  What about the larger issues?  Retirement, moving, divorce or, heaven forbid, the death of a loved one or friend can come out of the blue and here comes the stress, launching you into treading murky waters one more time. The impression is that the feelings of stress come from outside sources when, in reality, it happens inside of us. When we feel as though we are under pressure, our bodies react the same way that we have trained them to do with a rise in blood pressure, tightening of muscles and accelerated breathing. These physical symptoms are generally referred to as “fight or flight” responses.  This is a term left over from historical times when the choices were to flee or stand and fight.

Alcoholism is a severe form of alcohol dependence characterized by the occurrence of withdrawal symptoms once the alcohol drinking habit has been curtailed. The person suffering from alcoholism will experience excessive sweating, severe discomfort, restlessness, etc. In turn, all these will trigger a set of emotional and mental withdrawal indicators which are direct responses to the absence of regular doses of alcohol the body has gotten used to. Alcohol is a depressant and it inhibits symptoms that are associated with the use of uppers. The body realizes its need for alcohol once its dampening effect on the brain and the body's central nervous system begins to lift.

The condition is progressive and the circumstances surrounding the process of getting over alcoholism can be complicated and difficult for concerned individuals.
