6 Little Lies That Can Ruin Your Health

By: Sandra Gordon

Is it so bad to have a second piece of cake or to skip a week of exercising when you feel overwhelmed by work, kids, life? The experts say no, as long as you don't convince yourself that it's always okay. "We all need an occasional break from being 'good,'" says Carol Kauffman, PhD, a coaching psychologist at Harvard Medical School in Boston. "If rationalizing that you can be 'bad' here and there becomes a pattern, though, it can sabotage all your stay-well efforts." To help you counter these "little killers," we've dissected six common self-deceptions. Here's how to defy denial and keep your health on course for the long run.

Lie #1: "I can have two glasses of wine a day, research should it's healthy."

Reality Check: One drink a day can slightly reduce your chances of heart disease, but make that two glasses daily and your breast cancer risk can rise 25 percent. Your odds of ovarian and esophageal cancer go up as well, according to the National Cancer Institute. Plus, one study found that women who had two to four drinks a day took in nearly 30 percent more calories overall than nondrinkers. Keep tabs on how much you're pouring: Experts consider 4 ounces to equal one serving -- about one-fourth to one-half of a big goblet.

Lie #2: "It's low-carb, so it must be healthy."

Reality Check: Foods labeled "low-carb" aren't lower in calories or fat than the regular versions; in fact, some have more calories than the originals. If you do go low-carb, watch serving sizes and calorie counts. "People lose weight on low-carb diets because they're eating fewer calories," says Holly Wyatt, MD, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Health Science Center in Denver.

Lie #3: "My bad cholesterol is high, but I don't have to worry because my good cholesterol is high, too."

Reality Check: "A really high LDL (bad) cholesterol reading can outweigh the benefits of high HDL (good) cholesterol," says Christie Mitchell Ballantyne, MD, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention at the Methodist DeBakey Heart Center in Houston. LDL cholesterol should be less than 100 and HDL cholesterol should be higher than 50 -- preferably in the 80s. "The further you are from that optimal LDL cholesterol level, the less likely a high HDL cholesterol level will protect you," Dr. Ballantyne says.

To lower LDL cholesterol, eat lots of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans, nonfat dairy, and lean protein. One study found that adding plant foods (salad, vegetables, beans) to a low-saturated-fat diet reduced LDL cholesterol more than simply cutting saturated fat alone. And don't cut out all fats: Eliminating unsaturated fats can cause both good and bad cholesterol to drop. Aim to get about 20 to 25 percent of your calories from unsaturated fats and less than 10 percent from saturated fat.

Lie #4: "I don't have to workout, chasing my kids around is enough."

Reality Check: If you spend an hour or so a day running after your kids, you are getting some health benefits -- a modest calorie burn, an immune-system boost, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. But it's the more intense, sustained movement lasting 30 minutes or more that provides the maximum health and weight-loss benefits, says Heather Fink, RD, assistant director of the Center for Educational Services at the National Institute for Fitness and Sport in Indianapolis. The solution:Transform kid duty into exercise. If you typically stroll in the park with your 2-year-old, for example, pick up the pace and try to log in 30 minutes. And while your child naps or plays, strength-train at home. Build a workout around push-ups, lunges, walking lunges, squats (sitting in a chair, then standing up), calf raises (going up and down on your toes when you're standing on a stair) and triceps dips. "Try to do 8 to 12 reps and two sets of each exercise," advises Fink. You can also use easy at-home equipment such as resistance bands and hand weights, and do exercise DVDs.

Lie #5: "I'm not overweight, I'm just big-boned."

Reality Check: We know it's hard to hear, but if your body-mass index (BMI) -- a measure of fat based on height and weight -- is 25 or higher, you may need to lose 5 to 10 percent of your weight, says Dr. Ballantyne. Unfortunately, bone mass can constitute only 4 to 7 percent of your total weight -- about 6 to 10 pounds if you weigh 150 -- and that's considered too small to affect BMI, says Gregory W. Heath, a professor of health and human performance at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga.

Lie #6: I can get by on five hours of sleep a night."

Reality Check: Skimping on shut-eye is okay every once in a while, but getting fewer than seven hours a night will make you moody, irritable, and less productive. "Sleep debt makes multitasking and the ability to focus more difficult," says Clete A. Kushida, MD, PhD, director of the Stanford University Center for Human Sleep Research in Palo Alto, California. The health consequences are pretty steep too: People who typically get five hours a night have 15 percent higher levels of ghrelin, a hormone that can stimulate appetite, than those who get eight hours, according to researchers at the University of Bristol in the U.K. Other studies have shown a possible increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and breast cancer.

If you feel like nodding off whenever you've got quiet time -- a train ride or a long movie -- then you need more sleep.

Green Tip: Healthy Houseplants Increase Happiness

Written by Melanie Kozlan, Four Green Steps

Many believe that singing to your plants will help them grow (possibly because if assumes you've made great efforts to care for your plants) but even more people believe that having plants in your home/office will make you happier. Plants are scientifically proven to increase happiness as well aid those in recovery! Surrounding yourself with plants adds life to your environment and makes us feel more relaxed, similar to how we feel when we are outdoors appreciating nature. Caring for plants also takes us away from our stress and troubles and focus on other things. Some plants even purify our air! From the Gardening Guide: "Studies show more and more that taking care of plants can be the most efficient method to improve the physical and emotional general condition. They have a serene effect, they can reduce stress and relax muscles and therefore improve the mood people taking care of them are in. Different studies have demonstrated that the existence of plants reduce mental exhaustion. When we are overwhelmed with work, we just have to look up for a couple of minutes to a plant and we'll instantly feel more relaxed. In conclusion, plants fascinate and attract people, they break boredom and monotony generated by forced attention. The oxygen generated by plants creates a feeling of mental agility."

Prevention’s Quick Fix: 7 Easy cures for car sickness

Nothing can dampen the fun of a long family car trip like a bout of nausea. Curvy country roads, stop-and-go traffic for miles, and seemingly endless hours in the car can all induce that unpleasant, queasy feeling in your stomach. Sidestep any tummy troubles while in route with these seven natural tips.

More Natural Home Remedies

1. Keep Your Eyes Steady
Car-ride queasiness often occurs when your brain and body cannot agree if you're moving or not. (For example, you're sitting stationary in your seat but at the same time you're moving forward.) Focusing on a steady point in the distance will allow your eyes to see that you are indeed going forward, matching the movement that your body feels and keeping you from getting dizzy. Try and pick a specific object in the distance to gaze at like a large tree or building, if there's nothing in particular that catches your eye: Focus on the horizon.

Your Stomach Problems: Solved

2. Pick the Best Seat in the House
If you are prone to feeling sick in the car, opt to sit shotgun, where you have a clear view of the road ahead (and can easily look out onto the horizon). Backside facing seats will often make you feel extra queasy since you're moving in the opposite direction.

42 Quick Cures for Anything

3. Crack a Window
Fresh air may be all you need to calm your stomach troubles. If you're on the highway: Crack a window slightly and let fresh air soothe you if you start feeling sick.

4. Eat a Light Meal
Avoid going out for a big Mexican chow-down before a long car ride. Large, fatty, spicy, or greasy meals can sit in your stomach like a rock and make you more prone to feeling uncomfortable. Don't head out on your trek on an empty stomach either: a light meal and simple carbs, like a salad and crackers are just what the doctor order. You should also drink plenty of water.

Simple, Light Meals for On the Go

5. Apply Pressure
Acupressure is an ancient Asian practice of using your fingers to gradually apply pressure to certain spots on the body in order to heal various ailments. To stop nausea, apply tension to the P-6 acupressure point, located above the wrist on the inner forearm. A simple fix:  Try wearing a BioBand if you experience carsickness often. There is a bead sewn into the wristband that applies a constant pressure to this specific point, alleviating feelings of motion sickness. (http://www.biobands.com/order.htm, $11.95)

9 Natural Cures You Can Trust

6. Suck on Ginger Candy
Ginger is a powerhouse antioxidant when it comes to calming an upset stomach. The herb blocks the effects of serotonin, a chemical produced by both the brain and stomach when you're nauseated. Its also clinically proven to work: A 500 mg dose of ginger was as effective as Dramamine, the commonly used OTC motion-sickness medication. To reap the tranquil tummy effects, suck on ginger candy.

Make a Refreshing Ginger Cocktail

7. Pass the Peppermint
Peppermint has been used throughout history to stifle feelings of motion sickness and nausea. You could stash a few peppermint candies in the car, sip on peppermint tea during the ride, or you could even use aromatherapy to keep nausea at bay: Dab a few drops of peppermint oil on a tissue and inhale the aroma whenever you start to feel sick.

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)-The Most Common Eye Strain Computer Can Do

Computer Vision Syndrome is the most common form of eye strain that computers can cause. According to the American Optometric Association, CVS is a complex eye and vision problem associated to near work that are most often experienced due to excessive and improper use of computers.

Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome: Symptoms include eyestrain, blurred vision, headaches and shoulder or neck pain.

Fortunately, few basic changes of your way of using computer discussed below can scientifically reduce these symptoms.

Place Your Monitor Properly: The most effective and easiest way to avoid discomfited eye or head movements can be eliminated by repositioning your computer monitor. The distance should be 18 to 28 inches and placed squarely in front of you with the monitor-top leveled with your eyes. Also, you may have to regulate the angle of the monitor to keep your eyes in a natural, slightly down and straight ahead position. 10 to 20 degrees below the eye level is the perfect viewing angle. Moreover, attach the copy you are working with on a document holder at identical level of the computer screen.

Glare Care: Harsh reflections and glares can be eliminated by modifying the lighting of your office. Find out first the source of glare; see if it is the task light, the window or the computer display itself. Firstly, adjust curtains or blinds to minimize sunlight. The overhead lights should be turned down to balance the brightness of the surrounding room and the screen. Don't make it too dark since the contrast between lack of background light and computer-generated light cay cause eye strains. Position your task lights to provide light directly for reading and other office tasks; don't let it shine directly on the monitor. Use a hood or a monitor glare screen and use larger font size since legibility of display is a vital factor in viewing performance. Finally, keep your screen clean, a dirty and dusty screen can cause eye fatigue too.

Take a Break: Take a break for around 10 minutes at least once an hour and blink frequently. Excessive computer use may also cause an enhanced rate of tear evaporation; in that case, grab some artificial tears from your nearest drugstore to relieve dry and itchy eyes.

Special Eye Care: While arranging the work stations, seniors should take special care since American Optometric Association found that workers above 50 years of age need twice the light than young adults for relaxed work. Parents should keep track about their child's duration of using computer since the workstation may have positioned suitable for adults and such position may be harmful for kids.

Finally, don't squint and strain to see your computer monitor since this can lead to several eye related problems such as fatigue, dry eyes, headaches and prolonged vision problems.

Create the perfect eye shape through make-up

ho doesn't dream about getting Angelina's eyes? Her almond-shaped eyes are perfect in terms of…shape, so we must use some make-up to create an illusion, if mother nature didn't offer us the perfect eye shape them.

The easiest way to create an illusion of almond-shape eyes is to use adapted smoky-eyes make-up. What do I mean by that? Adapt it after the period of the day. It doesn't make sense to go to work with an elaborated make-up, but instead, you can go for cat-eyes version of smoky eyes. Draw a thin line on the upper lid using black eyeliner and use a little black eye shadow to create the illusion of depth. Read more about smoky eyes make-up in our related articles, such as:  Tips for a great smokey-eyes make-up For small eyes it is recommended to shape the upper lash line, and the one below. You can extend more the contour line even slightly to the internal angle (toward the nose). It is preferable that the color of the eyeliner to be lighter than black. To enlarge the appearance of eyes suitable make-up shades are cream or pearl and shiny pale shades. As a final touch use a brown mascara, because the black one will only add weight to your make-up. For big eyes, your make-up should avoid pearly shades and applying mascara on the lower eyelid lashes. Use eyeliner only to the external angle of the eye and for a more appealing look you can extend the line. Eye shadow colors should be matte, with medium to dark shades. You can apply the same shade of blush and lower eyelids to give depth to the eye. Use brown mascara! Eyes that are very close need some kind of tricks to make them look more apart. The point to be emphasized is the outer angle of the eye. Apply a shadow in a lighter shade, pastel, starting from the inside and extend it to the temple, using a slightly darker shade. Emphasizing the outside corner is also recommended in terms of using eyeliner. The descendant eyes need the impression of rising upper lid and this can be obtained by applying make-especially on the outer half of the upper eyelid. Use a lighter tone in the inner corner and a darker one in the outer corner. To raise the shape of the eye, you can extend the line and you can apply eyeliner or dark eye shadow up to the temples. When applying mascara, only apply it on the outer corner eyelashes.

Deal with Children’s Earache

It's important to get a prompt attention on medical assistance.

Children's earaches can be due to a middle ear's infection, sized like a pea found directly besides our eardrum. As parents, you shouldn't be alarmed of your child's frequent complaint regarding earaches, because it's normal that they develop it often and it doesn't pose such health threats. There's 2/3 children who experience earaches even once before they've reached 3 years old.

Germs can be the main reason

Mostly, this earache happens when the child developed an infection in the upper respiratory tract, colds, sending the germs to their Eustachian tube, then the drainage passage from middle ear then our throat. The passageway serves as an equalizer between their ears and the throat. When this Eustachian tube swells it results to an infection causing the fluids return to the middle ears chamber. Thus, the reservoir becomes a ground to breed in viruses or bacteria's. There are 85% of children earache due to bacteria's like Streptococcus pneumoniae.

It's due to the fact that the child's Eustachian tube is small, it's horizontally positioned than that of the adult, and kids have the tendency to swelling of ears, which trigger a fluid in their middle ear. When fluids become infected, it triggers inflammation in their middle ear too, it swells and become pressure is painful against his/her eardrum, this is the common symptom of earache related disorder.

Another cause

There's another kind of children's earache, its taking place in front of the eardrum, it's inside their canal leading to the external part of his or her ear. The condition commonly is caused by the infection in their external ears, which attack the ear canal. Often referred as a swimmer's ear, it's the earache occurring mostly to an older child; it's more common than infections in middle ear which usually affects a small child.

What must be done?

A child who got symptoms of an earache, it includes fever and ear pain, it must receive immediate medical aid. You need to call the pediatrician promptly if your children's ear starts to release yellow or white pus or blood. This type of discharges in the ear signals that her or his eardrum burst due to pressure caused by fluid buildup and swelling. You need to contact your pediatrician when there's an intense pain and there's a fever felt. It is important that you remember this can cause total hearing loss as well as another complication on health if you left it untreated, might result to the infection spread and growth.

Use of Medicine Effectively

Mostly, those children having earaches needs an antibiotic course for ten days under the supervision of pediatrician. Measure the doses very carefully; be sure that the child is taking it in full doses. Use a pain reliever, usually paracetamol, which is based at the advice of your pediatrician.

Veggies as well as another type of diets will fine to your young kid, however you might need some nutritionists' guidance when you're not too sure of how to complete it.
