Stress can be a very dangerous thing, especially because it’s usually masked under some pretty vague symptoms, making it nearly impossible to detect. However, you don’t do something to unwind and relax it can become the root cause of a number of conditions.

When we’re in pain we tend to ignore it until it becomes unbearable, which is completely wrong. Every pain in our body needs to be addressed, especially because it can indicate a more serious issue. Stress can cause your body to start breaking down, leading to stomach issues, diarrhea, ulcers, tense muscles, chest pains and palpitations. Your entire body will start aching, your arthritis will kick in and the headaches will become more intense. Never ignore these pains, address the issue and accept the fact that you’re pushing yourself too hard. Managing your stress begins with accepting and become aware that things must change.

YOU AREN’T SLEEPING WELL.

If your sleep patterns have recently changed, be it too much sleeping due to exhaustion or insomnia, you need to change something. You’re probably overstressed and your body finds the best way it can to cope with the stress. Meditation, exercise and a healthier diet can help you with the sleep problems, but the root cause should be discovered and dealt with properly. Do you worry a lot before you go to bed? Are you having nightmares? Whatever happens throughout the day can linger on in your subconscious and cause you sleep problems. Stress can interfere with your inner peace. Even though your sleep habits can change as you age, when you’re overstressed your sleep is the first thing that gets affected.

YOU HAVE WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS.

Any unexplained weight fluctuations can be a result of stress. It can slow down your metabolism and you’ll start gaining weight. If you suddenly lose your appetite and the pound start shedding away it can also be a result of stress, every person reacts differently to stress. Whatever the case, you should address the issue and fix the problem.

YOU CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT WORK OR PROBLEMS.

If you constantly think about work, finances, and other challenges without being able to unwind and relax, stress has a hold of your life. Mark Twain said, “Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe.” You cannot find a solution until you detach from the problem. Worrying can only escalate to cause psychological and physical problems. If you are constantly checking your phone, emails, and other forms of communication from work, it is time to really face what’s important in your life.

YOU CAN’T SIT STILL.

The inability to sit still is a sure sign of being overstressed. Anxiety and stress can make you uncomfortable with your own thoughts and your mind can be your worst enemy. If you can’t go for a walk, sit in contemplation, do gentle stretching exercises or just be with your own thoughts, there is a chance you are overly stressed. Find a way to manage your anxiety and fears and face what’s really troubling you. Avoiding the problem can only make it worse and soon you’ll be facing a much bigger one.

YOU HAVE LITTLE PATIENCE WITH OTHERS.

Stress can make you impatient and intolerant, making you snappy and irritated pretty quickly, even towards the ones closest to you. However, it’s not their fault that you’ve taken on too much and they should become your exhaust. If you snap on the smallest things and get angry for no reason you’re probably dealing with too much stress and you should find a way to slow down and relax.

YOU HAVE MAJOR MOOD SWINGS.

If you experience major mood swings, feeling happy one moment and crying the next, stress could be affecting your hormone levels. Bottling up and carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders doesn’t help you need to open up and talk to other people. Discover what’s really causing this because stress can enhance anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders and addictions (from alcohol, drugs, sexual or food) and other mental health issues.

YOU HAVE HAIR LOSS.

Carolyn Jacob, MD, founder and medical director of Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, says that “Typically, people shed about 100 hairs a day. Most people don’t even notice. Sometimes, a significant stress of sort may spark a change in your body’s routine physiological functions, and cause a disproportionate number of hairs to go into the resting phase at the same time. Then three to four months later, sometimes longer, all those resting hairs are shed. The effect can be alarming. The types of events that disrupt the normal hair cycle can be caused by the substantial physiological stresses on your body.”  If you start experiencing alarming hair loss you need to reevaluate your stress levels and find out what’s causing it.

YOU HAVE A LOSS OF LIBIDO.

Stress can affect your libido, and this is the last thing people think about. Whenever stress levels increase, the stress hormone secretions responsible for sexual response get affected. Stress causes exhaustion and the inability to experience any kind of intimacy. If you notice that your libido has weakened you should try stress management and some relaxation technique. Your relationship shouldn’t suffer the consequences, so open up and discuss your problems; it will make things easier for everyone.

Heart disease claims the lives of about 1 million Americans every year, making it the leading cause of death for both men and women. The most common form of heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to a heart attack.

This year alone, 920,000 Americans will have a heart attack, and close to half of them will occur suddenly without any prior warning signs.1

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of your heart becomes blocked. This is often the result of plaque build-up inside your arteries (atherosclerosis), which may rupture and form a blood clot that blocks blood flow.

If the blockage isn’t cleared quickly, a portion of your heart muscle will begin to die and be replaced with scar tissue, which can cause severe problems in the future.

For instance, a previous heart attack (especially if a large area of your heart was damaged) is a risk factor for sudden cardiac arrest,2 which is caused by abnormal heart rhythms and can be fatal.

5 Lifestyle Changes Could Prevent 80 Percent of Heart Attacks

It’s remarkable that heart attacks are so common and cause so much pain (emotional and physical) and disability when they are nearly always preventable. You’re probably already aware that your lifestyle plays a role in your risk of heart disease (and heart attacks), but perhaps you’ve not yet taken it to heart…

If you need some motivation, consider a new study conducted at the Karolinska Institute. It found that engaging in five healthy lifestyle habits could prevent nearly 80 percent of first-time heart attacks in men. Even the researchers were surprised at how powerful a healthy lifestyle could be, noting:³

“It is not surprising that healthy lifestyle choices would lead to a reduction in heart attacks… What is surprising is how drastically the risk dropped due to these factors.”

Still, this isn’t the first time such a drastic risk reduction has been uncovered. The 2004 INTERHEART study, which looked at heart disease risk factors in over 50 countries around the world, found that 90 percent of heart disease cases are completely preventable by modifying diet and lifestyle factors.⁴

Unfortunately, most people are not using lifestyle habits to their advantage. The featured study involved men aged 45 to 79… and only 1 percent of them engaged in all five of the “low-risk” behaviors that could prevent a heart attack. So what are the five healthy lifestyle habits?

1. A healthy diet
2. Being physically active (walking/bicycling ≥40 min/day and exercising ≥1 h/week)
3. Healthy waist circumference (waist circumference <95 cm or 37.4 inches)
4. Moderate alcohol consumption (10 to 30 g/day)
5. No smoking

What Is a Healthy Diet for Your Heart?

Most of the heart-healthy lifestyle habits are self-explanatory, but the term “healthy diet” is ambiguous… and when it comes to heart health, it is probably not what you think. Contrary to popular belief, refined carbs, sugar, and processed foods are the real enemy—not the saturated fats found in foods such as butter, lard, or eggs.

Part of the confusion on fats revolves around its impact on LDL cholesterol, often referred to as “bad” cholesterol. According to the conventional view, high LDL is correlated with heart disease, and saturated fat does tend to raise LDL. However, we now understand that there are TWO kinds of LDL cholesterol particles:

• Small, dense LDL cholesterol
• Large, “fluffy” LDL cholesterol

The latter is not “bad” at all. Research has confirmed that large LDL particles do not contribute to heart disease. The small, dense LDL particles, however, do contribute to the build-up of plaque in your arteries, and trans fat increases small, dense LDL. Saturated fat, on the other hand, increases large, fluffy—and benign—LDL.

More importantly, research has also shown that small, dense LDL particles are increased by eatingrefined sugar and carbohydrates, such as bread, bagels, and soda. Together, trans fats and refined carbs do far more harm than saturated fat ever possibly could.

Unfortunately, when the cholesterol hypothesis took hold, the food industry switched over to low-fat foods, replacing healthy saturated fats like butter and lard with harmful trans fats (vegetables oils, margarine, etc.), and lots of refined sugar and processed

Have you heard about the amazing effects of combining warm water and honey on your overall health? Perhaps all you know are the advantages of having a warm glass of water in the morning or the benefits of honey for your skin. Continue reading to learn about the benefits of honey and warm water. This is not an old wives’ tale, I assure you.

How To Make Honey Water Recipe:

Ingredients:

• One cup of lukewarm water.
• One tablespoon of honey.

If possible use Manuka Honey and here is why.

Directions:

1. Add one table spoon of organic raw honey in a cup of warm (not hot) water and mix well.
2. In this simple recipe, you can also add some freshly-squeezed lemon juice and some freshly-ground cinnamon powder to enhance the taste.
3. This honey-water drink should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning for best results.

Water is essential for metabolic processes in the body to take place, so it is very important to get the right amount of this fluid in order to be healthy. And water is simply indispensable for proper hydration of the skin as well.

However, it is mixing honey with water, which this recipe suggests, that increases its potency multiple times. Prepare this ‘divine nectar’ for yourself, and count on it to keep your body hydrated and supple all day long.

1. Watch Your Weight Melt Away

Yes, drinking water and honey can help you lose weight. Get the plaguing thoughts about the sugar aspect of honey out of your head, as that is one of its benefits. I know, I know, it sounds crazy and too good to be true, but it isn’t. The sugar in honey is a natural sugar (or read: good for you), which provides a healthy source of calories. Not only that, it can help to ward off any sugary sweet beverage cravings you may have. Soda pop is full of empty calories, and though everyone knows this they still reach for the bubbly refreshment. By cutting back on the amount of pop you drink, your calorie intake drops and with that so do the pounds. It may not be an overnight success story, but it is better for you all around in the long run.

2. Stay Regular

OK, I know talking about being ‘regular’ can sometimes be taboo, but if Jamie Lee Curtis can do it, so can I. Drinking a warm glass of water with honey first thing in the morning helps to improve your digestive system. The antiseptic benefits of honey help relieve the acidity in your stomach while increasing the production of intestinal mucus. It also helps to hydrate the colon and infuse water into your, excuse me for this, stool. All of this combines you passing much more easily and regularly. Which brings us back to watching your weight melt away, because… well, I think you can figure the rest of this one out without my help.

3. Gives Your Immune System A Helping Hand

Have I stressed just how good honey is for you yet? Honey has amazing bacteria-killing properties. If you go for raw, organic honey (you should) it is full of enzymes (hello again digestion), vitamins and minerals that lead the front line against protecting against bacteria. One study presented at the Society for General Microbiology’s Spring Conference in Harrogate, UK found that Manuka honey may even help reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Honey is also an antioxidant, which helps fight those bad free radicals that reek havoc in our body and on our skin.

4. Reduce Your Allergies

And no, I’m not suggesting to take a Claritin or something like that with the glass of honey water. By using raw, local honey you help to acclimate your body to the pollens of your area. In turn, this helps to reduce your susceptibility to environmental allergies. If you really think about what bees do in the grand scheme of things, this makes perfect sense. Now I know the warm water isn’t necessarily crucial to helping with allergies, but being hydrated is never a bad thing.

5. Hello Energy, My Old Friend

Move over coffee  – honey and warm water are the new dream team for boosting energy.  The benefit to your energy levels by staying hydrated has all but been shouted from a rooftop. Think of your body as a houseplant. You know how droopy and sad it gets when you’ve forgotten to water it? Your body essentially does the same thing. Studies have shown that even mild dehydration can leave you feeling lethargic, drowsy and sluggish. So let’s add honey into this equation. Now you have a natural source of simple sugars and carbohydrates (energy-givers) to an all ready proven energy booster. The total? A refreshed outlook on life and energy that you didn’t know could come without a cup of coffee. Now, I’m not telling you to cut coffee out – I know I couldn’t function with out it – but next time you feel an afternoon crash, try reaching for some honey and warm water first and see if that does the trick.

6. Honey reduces cough and throat irritation

It helps with coughs, particularly buckwheat honey. In a study of 110 children, a single dose of buckwheat honey was just as effective as a single dose of the drug dextromethorphan in relieving nocturnal cough and allowing of proper sleep.

Therefore, seasonal allergies, cold, and different strains of flu with symptoms like coughing, sore throat and bouts of fever, can be effectively warded off by consuming honey and water on a daily basis.

7. Detox, Detox, Detox!

Honey and warm water helps to flush out the toxins from your body. By helping you to get regular, it helps you to regularly rid your body of toxins that can build up and cause disease. Adding lemon to the mix increases the benefits, as lemons help to increase urination, dispelling toxins more frequently and keeping your urinary tract healthy. Lemon contains citric acid, which helps to maximize enzyme function and in turn stimulate the liver and help with detoxification.

8. Gassy? It Helps With That.

Feeling a little uncomfortable and gassy? Drinking a glass of warm water and honey will help! Honey helps to neutralize gas.

9. Increase Your Health

Not only will drinking warm water and honey increase your hydration (plus everything else I’ve listed), it also helps to increase the levels of “good” cholesterol in your body and reduce cardiovascular strain. I call that a win, win.

10. Finally, honey can help you reduce that bad cholesterol and increase the good one

Cardiovascular tension and low levels of the good cholesterol can be a thing of the past if you try this honey-water homemade drink. Bees’ products can melt away bad body fats and make you feel as light as a feather. After all, we have never seen “a fat bee” simply because it is always on the right diet. So, it makes great sense to copy a bee’s all-natural healthy diet, doesn’t it?

How To Consume Honey Water?

This mixture must be consumed in the morning on an empty stomach in order to avoid any problems and to feel the best effects. Remember to drink this potion very fast. As we have mentioned before, you can use this mixture before you go to bed too.

It is the best to prepare honey water right before you use it.

One of the main causes of death in the U.S.A is a heart attack. In 2008, heart disease caused 25% of all deaths, or 1 in every 4 people died because of this.

Talking about heart disease, the main problem is usually coronary heart disease. This is very usual for men and women. However, men suffer more. In fact, 785,000 Americans experience heart attacks the first time in a year. Moreover, 470, 000 of them had one or more of them.

Main Causes of a Heart Attack

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention claims that high cholesterol, smoking, and hypertension are the main reasons for heart attacks. Moreover, being overweight, leading a sedentary lifestyle, too much alcohol, and diabetes can cause heart attacks as well.

Chances for Survival

If you want to survive a heart attack, you need to be able to notice the symptoms very early on. In fact, half of the heart attacks happen outside the hospital. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed that 92% of the patients felt chest discomfort, but only 27% actually realized that it was a heart attack and they called 911.

The Most Common Signs of a Heart Attack

1. Swelling

If your heart cannot pump blood, then it might cause the blood to swell. Thus, this makes your legs, ankles, and feet bloated. Moreover, you might also deal with a blue tinge in the extremities or the hips. This is known as cyanosis.

2. Shortness of breath

Your lungs and heart work together. So, if your heart goes bad, then, the lungs will not get sufficient oxygen. This will cause you to lose breath and have problems with breathing.

3. Dizziness

If the heart’s work is compromised then the blood circulation will reduce and this will lead to a lack of oxygen in the blood. This, in turn, will lead to dizziness. If so, consult with a doctor as soon as possible.

4. Coughing

If you are coughing and it is not going away for a longer time, then this can mean heart failure. This happens when there is excessive blood in the lungs due to the heart’s inability to give enough blood to the body. So, if you have whitish or pinkish mucus, it might signal blood leakage.

5. Tiredness

When your arteries close, the heart works more than usual so simple tasks can be problematic. Moreover, you might sleep longer than you usually do and you might take a couple of naps during the day.

6. Discomfort in the Chest

This is usually signaled by pinching, pressure or burning sensation. It is the most common symptom and it can happen while you are physically active or resting. So, if you feel it, consult a doctor.

Bear in mind that women can have a heart attack without experiencing chest discomfort. Otherwise, these symptoms are pretty common before experiencing a heart attack and you should watch out and consult a doctor immediately if you feel them.

The Adam and Eve test reveals to you what you absolutely cannot miss in love. In fact, Adam and Eve are the personification of the creation of the first man and first woman.

If at this moment I asked some people: “What is love “, you would most likely receive many different answers. Although there are some similarities, the concept of love is so intimate and personal that it would be impossible to define it with certainty.

Adam and Eve test: find out what for you cannot absolutely miss in a love story, what for you represents the origin of the purest love.
For each person, the meaning of love is different, in each of us there is something that should never be missing, which represents the origin of the purest and most real love.

This test of Adam and Eve has as its protagonists the first man and first woman created by God, who personifies the myth of creation.

Look at the picture: what do you see first?

1. APPLE

If the first thing you see in the Adam and Eve test is the apple, it means that the basis of a relationship for you is trust. For you in love, it is essential to feel safe and secure. Without trust you cannot give yourself completely, you cannot open yourself completely.

Without that in love nothing makes sense. If your partner betrayed your trust, you would never be able to forgive him, there would be no way to put a piece on your love. It would end forever.

2. BODIES

If the first thing you saw in the image are the bodies, their outlines or a specific part of them, it means that for you what you can not miss in a love relationship is chemistry. For the stability of your romance, you have to feel a physical affinity with each other, above all else. And this also and above all concerns, the way in which your partner kisses you embraces you or takes your hand.

So you can also have the same tastes, ideals or way of seeing the life of your partner, but if the chemistry is scarce you do not have problems closing a story that you know very well would not have the conditions to continue.
