I have been thinking of getting a treadmill for quite some time now but haven’t really took any initiative to check what was available in the market. However, last week, I finally spent some time surfing the net for exercise equipments which were suitable for home use.

I stumbled upon Fitonline, Australia’s premiere online fitness equipment store which supplies big brands at the lowest prices. I was overwhelmed by the different types of treadmill available such as Reebok I Walk I Run Treadmill, Infiniti Treadmills, Bodyperfect Treadmill, York Evolution Treadmill, York Optimum Treadmill and many more. Personally, I have my eye on the Reebok I Walk I Run Treadmill which is very compact and foldable with manual inclination adjustment. Most important of all, there is an offer price of $989 which is within my budget. Another plus is the motor has a 10 years warranty.

Besides treadmills, Fitonline also feature other products like rowing machines, bikes, elliptical trainers, strength equipments and training accessories. If you are interested in keeping fit too, hop over to the site and check it out.

I’ve had two surgeries to remove breast lumps on my left breast and fortunately for me, the result was negative for cancer. It really gave me quite a scare so, I would like to share this article with all women…. 

Did you know that there are quite a number of things that you can do to help reduce your chances of developing breast cancer? 
  
For example, it might surprise you to learn that your weight is a key factor in whether you develop breast cancer or not. If a lot of extra fat is collecting around your middle, that gives you an increased risk factor of breast cancer.  This is especially true after menopause.  A high fat diet also increases your risk for developing this disease.  It’s crucial that you get a handle on keeping your weight in check.  As a result, you’ll be healthier and protect yourself from not only breast cancer but other deadly diseases as well.

I don’t know if you’re aware of the fact, but exercise is critical in protecting yourself against breast cancer.  If you haven’t started and maintained a regular program of exercising, there’s no better time to begin than right now!  Why not start a walking program and walk around the block on a regular basis?  It might surprise you to learn that even if you only exercise an hour and 15 minutes each week, that will be a big help to your health.  Want to boost your protection even more — simply exercise 2 1/2 hours per week or more.

Studies have shown the more exercise you do, your risk of developing breast cancer lowers.

Here’s another surprising fact.  If you decide not to have any children, that will increase your risk of developing breast cancer.  If you wait until after you are 30 to have your first child, that will also increase your risk.

Breast-feeding seems to have an important relationship to the prevention of breast cancer.  Those who breast-feed their children for about one and a half to two years actually decrease in a significant way their risk of developing breast cancer.

If breast cancer runs in your family, you should be cautious about taking hormonal replacements because that increases your risk of not only developing breast cancer, but also experiencing heart attacks, strokes and even blood clots.

It’s a proven fact that women who drink alcohol also have a greater possibility of developing breast cancer.  Want to decrease your risk of developing breast cancer?  Don’t drink alcohol at all.

Breast cancer is a dangerous foe, so protect yourself as much as possible by following the tips in this article.

Bananas have been the alltime favorite and perennial fruit for hundreds of years now. It has many curative properties. This fruit is affordable by anyone and is available in plenty in India. All the varieties available are beneficial in their own way.

Banana is rich in fiber content and also contains natural sugars like sucrose, fructose and glucose. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills — eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that t the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

A Cancer Killer in the Kitchen

The powerful healing effects of ginger have been well documented. It’s a proven remedy for upset stomach. Reams of studies show that it  inhibits inflammation. And there is substantial evidence that it fights cancer too. For instance, a recent University of Michigan study showed that when ginger was added to ovarian cancer cells in the laboratory, it caused the cancer cells to self-destruct (a process known as “apoptosis”).

In a separate study at the University of Minnesota, researchers injected colon cancer cells into mice that were bred to have no immune system. Half of these mice were routinely fed gingerol, the main active component in ginger. The researchers found that the mice that were fed gingerol lived longer, their tumors were smaller, and the cancer did not spread as widely as in the control group. With all these health benefits, you should be using ginger as often as you can. The best way I’ve found to get a healthy serving of ginger is to juice it. (The brand of juicer I use is an Omega.) Two or three  days a week, you can juice an apple or two, some carrots, spinach,  broccoli, cabbage, and a big piece of ginger root. The ginger will  give the drink a great flavor and a powerful anti-cancer kick.

It’s highly recommended ! Give it a try !

This is another informative article that is good to share:

Imagine a scenario: It’s 6.15pm and you’re driving home alone after an unusually hard day of the job. You’re really tired, stressed out and frustrated. Suddenly, you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only five miles way from the hospital.

Unfortunately, you don’t know whether you’ll be able to make it there. You have been trained in CPR but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself. 

HOW DO YOU 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, 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.

Nooooooo….this is not an advert. The hubby bought this from one of his clients. They had to order this stool from China. Here’s the pic:

What you need to do is stand on it for 5-10 minutes each day and it is supposed to help cure:

• muscle pain
• sprain injuries
• tiredness
• serves as an acupuncture therapy
• helps with blood circulation
• weight management

The angle of this stool can be changed from 15 degrees to 45 degrees. It is made of wood and looks very simple. I cannot vouch for the effectiveness yet as hubby has just started using it. I’ll keep you guys posted.
