Beach Body Tips!

So, summer is right around the corner and you think it's too late to get your beach body ready? Wrong! Even if you aren't heading to the beach this summer, you can still get a beach body. Here are some simple tips to get you on the right track.
  1. Walking is the best thing that anyone can do. If you can put in 30 minutes a day then you are going to shed those unwanted pounds like no tomorrow. 
  2. Drink plenty of water and kick the soda, tea, and other junk juice to the curb. When you get hungry, have a glass of water first to see if you really are hungry. 
  3. Make sure you take a good multivitamin and even mix in some resistance training when possible. 

Remember, to get toned you need to do low weights, high reps. What this basically means is that you need to use a weight that you can do many many times. Don't put something on the bar that you can only do once or twice, aim for 3 sets of 10. One last tip is to not sleep the summer away. Getting up early on your day off will help you get motivated to be active and not sleep your summer away. Use the helpful tips and incorporate them into your workout for optimal results and you'll start noticing your new body in just a few weeks!

Common Misconceptions About ADHD

These days, many parents are a bit too quick to self-diagnose their children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, more commonly known as ADHD. Let's face it, children will always be children, despite how well mannered or disciplined they may be. Children are going to lose focus, run rampant around the house and not listen to you on certain occasions. This does not necessarily mean they are ADHD.

Some of the medications used for ADHD and ADD can be harmful to your child, so it is very important to make sure you are helping your child and not hurting them. The most common medication used for children with ADHD is Ritalin. This specific medication comes in many forms and doses. However, side effects may be lack of appetite, restlessness, and in some cases, severe mood swings once the medication wears off. If your physician has diagnosed your child with either ADHD or ADD and has not suggested additional counseling with the use of medication, think about it. In many cases, children are more likely to focus better in and outside of school if what they are focusing on is more appealing to them.

Think about it. Giving  child, especially a younger child medication may make them feel like there is something wrong with them. This is a feeling that many children may harbor or act out upon, making your job as a parent that much harder. If they are having difficulty focusing on their school work, try making their school work more interesting for them. Just remember that as a parent, you are not alone. There are plenty of parents like yourself, facing the same issues. Utilize forums, community groups and workshops to help you through the emotions that a parent goes through while helping their children.

What is a Yeast Infection?

A yeast infection could very well be one of the most annoying, yet common health issues for a woman. As strange as it is to grasp, every women naturally has small numbers of yeast cells in their vagina. By standard definition a yeast infection is when a women develops high numbers of these cells in their vagina. Since yeast is a fungus, too much of it throws the body off balance.

A yeast infection can be quite uncomfortable, to say the least. If you have a yeast infection, you may experience discomfort such as itching or soreness, especially when having sex or attempting to urinate. I say attempting because sometimes, when higher amounts of yeast are present, the simple act of urination can seem like a triathlon! You may also notice that your body is producing a white, clumpy discharge that may or may not have a slight odor to it. This is normal when it comes to a yeast infection. Even if you do not experience discomfort, you should consult your doctor if you notice this type of discharge.

According to WebMD and most medical professionals, yeast infections can be prevented by keeping your genital area as dry as possible. Here are some tips that WebMD suggests to avoid the common yeast infection.
  • Wear cotton, not nylon, underwear, and avoid tight-fitting pants and panty hose.
  • Change out of a wet swimsuit right away.
  • Avoid douches and feminine sprays, scented toilet paper, and deodorant tampons.
And remember, when it comes to your health, never depend on recommendations or the Internet. Consult your physician about your concerns!
