Take care of your teeth - "You can't handle the Tooth"
Sep 15, 2008 - 8:49:43 PM
By Health Writer

I learned my lesson after 40 years of taking my teeth for granted.  The other day I went to the dentist because one of my molars was hurting.  He took an x-ray of my teeth and found that I had a cavity.  I was not surprised and he quickly filled it.

I had not been to the dentist for over 2 years since that day and so I was really not surprised that I had a cavity.  The visit cost me $127 since I had dental insurance.  I went home thinking my problem was solved.

What I need to know about Erection Problems
Mar 3, 2008 - 10:35:23 PM
By NKUDIC

Erectile problems are not funny at all if you are the one with the problem.  At our age, the likelihood of this happening is only increasing. 

Erection problems used to be called "impotence." Now the term "erectile dysfunction" is more common. Sometimes people just use the initials ED.

School killings - the social proof we are creating
Feb 24, 2008 - 12:35:48 PM
By Reprinted with permission from author

What is happening to our society.  My daughter is a student at NIU and lives in the residence hall right next to the location of the tragic shootings.  NIU, Virginia Tech, Columbine, on and on and on.

This time at NIU I hear people saying how unexpected it was.  How he was such a smart person.  How nobody saw it coming...even so called experts.  Even her close friends.  Or are they just denying they ever suspected something.

I am not going to judge these people, nor am I going to judge the killers.  They did a terrible thing.  This is undeniable.

Who is to blame?  Let's see.

Meditation - A Great Way to Relax for men
Jan 15, 2008 - 10:51:53 PM
By Exercise Writer

If you have not tried meditation you may be missing something that could change your life. I have been meditating off and on for a couple years, but I recently read this book after attending a course in which we meditated. I highly recommend this straight forward book on meditation. It is available at Amazon. I borrowed mine from the library.

Posture of Meditation

In the book, the author explains the importance and relationship of alignment, relaxation and resileince.  Even if you have meditated in your yoga class, this book can only help enhance your experience.

So what are you waiting for.  Slow down and enjoy the silence.

Aspirin for Reducing Your Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke: KNOW THE FACTS
May 28, 2007 - 9:14:02 PM
By Copied from FDA.gov

You can walk into any pharmacy, grocery or convenience store and buy aspirin without a prescription. The Drug Facts label on medication products, will help you choose aspirin for relieving headache, pain, swelling, or fever. The Drug Facts label also gives directions that will help you use the aspirin so that it is safe and effective.

But what about using aspirin for a different use, time period, or in a manner that is not listed on the label? For example, using aspirin to lower the risk of heart attack and clot-related strokes. In these cases, the labeling information is not there to help you with how to choose and how to use the medicine safely. Since you don't have the labeling directions to help you, you need the medical knowledge of your doctor, nurse practitioner or other health professional.

By Vicki Churchill

In today's hectic life style it probably feels like there is no time for healthy eating, or you simply can not find recipes that are both healthy and quick to make. As a result it is tempting to reach for the quick and easy snacks such as potato chips or candy.
