postheadericon How To Survive a Heart Attack When Alone (from Renan Briones, I subscribed in FB)

I saw and read this in one of the interesting people in Facebook. And sure enough interesting people share interesting articles and this is one of it below (by the way, it has been said it is very much a pleasure of him to share it to everyone, so no further ado, am also sharing it here. It's up to your great intelligence to dig-up the rest of the this tip given):

Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!

NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE..

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.

A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.

The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital..

It's interesting for me as I have a heart baby. One day I could share this to her. What about you?

postheadericon Health Plan

Once you became a mother you would think of things that you do not usually thought about back when you were single. You will be worried sick about every tiny detail and would always want to be in control of every given situation. You will be all too worried about your well-being so you can be healthy all the time to look after and care for your child and you will start thinking of getting health insurance policies to be sure. And that's a word from a mommy friend of mine, and I do agree. I can see and feel it even though am not a fully mom yet. But only about a month more and I will be one like her, a mommy.

One of the best options, a mommy or a parent to consider is Ameriplan, it is the next best thing you can get next to an insurance policy or an alternative to insurance. We like to think that a company should offer a wide variety of medical and dental plan to cater to any one's individual needs and specification. What’s even better is you do not have to fill out complicated application forms to apply and avail of the services. As it has been said, Ameriplan offer unlimited health products, a wide variety of discounted items, and a 30-day money back guarantee, too. Being healthy and in the great health-assure journey has never been this easy!

postheadericon The Secret to Losing Pregnancy Weight

Having a child is truly a blessing and this new chapter on a woman’s life brings both excitement and uncertainties. One of the things that pregnant women need to endure is the nine months of waiting and as your body goes through a lot of changes during this period one inevitable thing is to gain some weight.

For some weight gain is not an issue but if you are determined to lose those pregnancy weights remember to do it the right away. Your body needs time to recuperate and adjust after childbirth hence it is important not to perform strenuous activities especially the weeks after giving birth. Here are some of the secrets on how to shed those pounds in a healthy manner: Eat in moderation. Do not go on a starvation mode because it will not do you any good. Remember that your body needs all the nutrients especially if you are breastfeeding. Do not deprive yourself with a healthy diet; rather eat your portions in moderation. Always stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water during the day. Avoid carbonated drinks and coffee and just switch to healthier alternatives such as fresh fruit juice and teas. A healthy and balanced diet could help your body recover faster.

If you are thinking about workout and exercise, it is better to consult with your doctor first. Let your physician know about your weight loss plan and determine if it’s too early to start working on it. Being back on the treadmill might not be a good idea but there are light household chores that could also help you sweat out and burn calories.

Just remember to always think about your safety and health before trying any diet or exercise regimen. In the end an advice from your doctor or fitness professional could help you plan the right way to lose pregnancy weight.

postheadericon Pregnancy Craving(s)

Do you believe on the stereotype craving belief that once a pregnant woman crave of such food, it make her baby looks-like what it is? First craving is young coconut meat or juice, like for example. It has been said that her child will become fair in color even her parents are not? What do you think? What is the connection of the first craving to the newborn? Do you believe of that? If you ask me, I don't! I don't even believe in pregnancy cravings. It seems to me that it is just a sign of being spoiled. But here's an exclusion, pregnant have to be loved and husband should get what his pregnant woman likes to eat but not too much. Cravings to me is just an ordinary craving, pregnant or not, a person craves. Everyone craves not only women. Don't you think? If you do not, then you have to think it twice.
