I like this “go green community challenge”, a campaign to take our glamour and style to an eco friendly feature. It’s so great to see Sophie Ulliano, an environmentalist and author of Gorgeously Green, capturing her elegant green style. I hope she have succeeded in inspiring others too to join this earth saving campaign. Beauty and glamour, a serious and vast business becoming green conscious and move forward can be a great new and a big step ahead. Besides individuals and models in this sector anyone out there can join it and become gorgeously green by contributing to save the environment and planet earth while giving a keen look to self.

Encourage use of bio products for your garden or farm needs…these little steps will make a big one….
We face a big environmental threat, but we can’t keep ignoring, let’s do it and rest in peace and play with the world being safe and green all around.

Bionic e-limbs

I hope the production of bionic e-limbs (electronic limb) gives a new hope to those who lose their limbs. Good thing is this bionic limb is able to work on the signal send by the brain. It is directly attached to the body and contains a micro processor which passes the brain signals to motor sensor of the fingers. And move finger and hold stuffs accordingly with the object’s size or shape. Its costs range from $5000 to $7000. But the cost found to be accepted for having extra benefit to the users. It is more close to our natural hands so users feel nice as having natural limbs. If users are able to forget that they are using an artificial limb then that’s a pleasant impact of such a development. It will benefit victims of accidents and disaster and other people in active service.

Chocolate for heart…!!

I don’t have clear idea about how lovers started giving chocolates as gifts? May be because girls love it or it is sweet. But what the study showed is that chocolates are healthy for heart too. It is said that chocolate is made of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar and milk in certified ratios. As we know it is called chocolate for having cocoa solids which is bitter part of cocoa beans of cocoa tree. Earlier, Chocolates are said to be avoided for having some amount of Nickel (harmful metal element) in its preparation. In the mean time a good serving can give nice daily calcium requirement as it has Calcium with vitamin D and phytosterols (plant chemicals) which helps in reducing cholesterol level is an added component. And it has always been a celebration and festival good and both children and adults like it much. Well the recent claim is that flavanols, an antioxidant present in chocolates can reduce blood pressure. However, nearly four ounces that’s 3-4 regular size dark chocolate bars, consumed every day to promote a reduction in blood pressure! That’s 500 calories and 42 grams of fat! Well too much indulgence may be bad but some light chocolate refreshment will be healthy for the heart just like your heart smiles when you see your lover.

Is laziness gene control your intention to exercise?

You know some people are very beauty conscious and think a lot about their shape and figure. When recommend exercise to keep the body fit and in shape they just forget it. And when it comes alluring they skip their regular meals as many as they can. What’s the matter? Why it’s so hard to motivate some people towards exercise or physical activity. As an expected answer to such thing scientist have recently did experiment in various strains of mice. These mice showed different results. Some runs hard, some little. And what they found can say that there seems to be a gene controlling laziness, like exercise gene. But….imagine if you don’t want to move much and your gene is the reason. How weird it would be….for humans! Yes gene is an important cause for different human natures. Still wish to give enough emphasis on to environment, habitual and parental reasons and conditions as a factor of varied human natures.

Animal Assistant Therapy

We often treat animals badly but at times they are able to do what we can’t. We get angry and show various kinds of emotions according to time and situations. But certain animals being nice at all times can help cure patients with mental and behavioral disorders. The animal assistant therapy is a practice where animals are engaged for the said purpose. It is an effective alternative therapeutic practice. The animals are strictly trained to be calm, friendly, faithful, loving, and even not to get angry and bite when mistreated. Mostly dogs are engaged as they are more efficiently trainable.
The patients of depression, anxiety, dementia, etc are made to interact with these assistants in various sessions to recover and improve their mind states and behaviors. Those patients who hardly responsive to what their family, doctors or nurses say is said of showing positive effect by this therapy. By having close interaction with the animal assistants patients show responses playing or laughing. Animals being simple, loving, faithful and innocent, patients find simpler and easier to absorb and act in response. The natures and cool behaviors of the animals show the patients to understand and learn the nature of being calm, happy and playful. And it makes their quick recovery possible and efficient. So, I guess it’s a considerably good option. It can work for both young and old, children in need too can get maximum benefits. Animals need us for we need them. we need to love them for what they are.

Fighting with breast cancer

Check how much you are aware of health conditions and situations through this quiz line. I took a quiz for breast cancer and my score was excellent….I mean in the opposite sense. Before it I’m not sure that man too can have breast cancer, though their is less than one percent for all cancer cases. I used to think that only the female line in a family tree is at risk. Yes, it is but males from a family with history of females suffering breast or ovarian cancer also can fall under risk. 1700 men were diagnosed in US for having breast cancer. And also persons with family history having ovarian cancer are at high risk of having breast cancer. It is said that Mastectomy can reduce the fertility of a woman. And woman of age 40 should start doing mammograms and other examination for breast cancer. Know from breastcancer.org about its symtoms, treatments, etc.
Still there is a question why cancer seems to be very common in the US and similar places. However surviving and living through it is another inspiring story to read and to tell. Even after therapy and surviving, every patient fears will it come back? But they need to be strong and need to live every single day and every single moment is precious. Read this story to know how it came and how it goes.

It’s very interesting to see these health videos online to know anything about health, disease or its measures. And you know with this feature you can search and watch your targeted videos online. You will hear the guides from doctors of how to deal with it so, you can stay aware of its potential risks. I subscribe to a total health site and I've seen this, its very good.

Cosmetic cure

We all may agree that luckily our medical science has develop quite far now that there is cosmetic cure or surgery for almost every case as an ultimate answer. And people too are running towards it as a solution. If one can afford its cost she may want to improve her looks. You can check cosmetic surgery website for your wish to come true. You can now have a better nose or eyes, whatever you like you can wish to have. You can find all its details, costs, statistics, etc and even consult the surgeons online. Some common cases are surgery for lips, eyelids, cheeks, nose to get a better look accordingly with the person’s preference and wish. And the success is also comparatively high but that much is risky. We can't think that it’s an easy task from the surgeon side too. There may be technical mistake and many other unwanted incidents may occur during the course as the attempt is against the usual or original condition.
Anyway one thing to consider is if done with one’s lips she may then want to do her nose or eye lids or cheeks and so on. And it can become a habit of wanting more which can go harsh somehow. Once in Oprah’s show in an interview with one lady who did so much cosmetic surgeries, I use to find it risky. So, there was an exclusive talk about how she has become obsessed with the very thing, cosmetic surgery. She rushed to her surgeon for every minor case that cosmetic surgery has appeared like her breakfast item. Therefore, the attitude and the reason behind cosmetic surgery need to be very good. By the way every face has its own beauty and beauty lies in the eyes too.
