Malnutrition And Hiv Interact
| Furl It |
Today, infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) provides a dramatic demonstration of the interaction between malnutrition and infection. Transmission of the virus from mother to fetus is greater when the mother is deficient in vitamin A. The infection progresses fastest in people who are poorly nourished. And severe loss weight and muscle are hallmarks of the advanced disease, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Like other infections, HIV interacts with malnutrition in a vicious, devastating cycle. Left untreated, HIV infection progresses to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The virus attacks by destroying its victim’s immune system. When a person is unable to fight infections and malignancies, disease quickly depletes marginal nutrient stores, speeding the way to severe malnutrition and death. But malnutrition and HIV interact on several other levels, as well:
1. Low vitamin A levels in pregnant women increase the rate of HIV transmission to their unborn babies.
2. HIV is transmitted to infants in beast milk; but in impoverished regions, substitutions for breast milk typically increase infantile diarrhea, malnutrition, and death.
3. AIDS leaves mother too weak to feed and care for their children. Eventually AIDS turns children into orphans.
4. AIDS disable parents so they cannot work to support and feed their families.
5. Reduced levels of micronutrients in an HIV-infected person are associated with faster progression of HIV disease and AIDS.
6. Weight loss and muscle wasting in an infected person are associated with faster progression of HIV disease and AIDS.
7. Infections that accompany AIDS cause fever and diarrhea, making malnutrition worse. Nausea and loss of appetite also contribute to malnutrition.
8.Severe protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is characteristic of untreated AIDS and frequently the ultimate cause of death.
As of June 200, sub-Saharan Africa had 24.5 million people infected with HIV. Southeast Asia had 5.6 million people infected with HIV, and Latin American had 1.3 million. Without treatment or cure, these people are doomed to death, usually within 10 years of the initial infection. The fate of severe PEM in millions of people appears unavoidable. If we do not arrest the continued transmission of HIV, the number of PEM victims will climb even higher.

The ringworm fungus known as trichophyton is a beasty little creature and one that causes many people agony of the feet. The pain, itching, irritation and agony brought on by the ringworm fungus all leads to a case of wicked athlete’s foot.

Athlete’s foot symptoms are fairly easy to spot but if you have never experienced it before, be sure to see your physician so that you can get an accurate initial diagnosis. Athlete’s foot is a health issue that once you experience it, you will remember the experience for your lifetime.
With athlete’s foot, one of the initial symptoms is the intense itching and burning you feel on your feet.

With severe cases of athlete’s foot the skin between your toes and along the soles of the feet may even begin to bleed, crack and peel due to the raging fungal infection. Athlete’s foot is also known to spread to the toenails. Again, oh, the agony of the feet!
Athlete’s foot can also spread to your underarms and to your groin. Ok, now that just is not right! If you scratch your athlete’s foot and the inadvertently scratch another area of your body, you can transfer the fungus on your feet to a secondary area.
The trichophyton fungus which is the basis of athlete’s foot can hang around for a lengthy period of time.

It takes awhile to treat and conquer the beast of athlete’s foot symptoms, so get on it. Do not delay, otherwise you are in for a long haul of itchy, peeling, and irritated feet.

You may also see athlete’s foot symptoms which present as dry skin, scaly skin, redness and inflammation, and even foot blisters. Without proper treatment, the foot blisters can often cause the skin to crack and open up. Open blister associated with athlete’s foot can leave open areas of raw and exposed tissue which can lead to more pain and swelling. Exacerbation of athlete’s foot symptoms can delay healing.
So it really is not that hard to diagnosis athlete’s foot. Look for the common symptoms and if you have not experienced it before be sure you see your health care provider first before starting treatment of any kind.

Beauty And The Beast
| Furl It |
Building Self Esteem is about deep personal transformation. I do not believe that we can discover our true worthiness without making the effort to change, without having the courage to look ourselves straight in the eye, appreciate what we see and then move on from there.
I was showing a class of 6-year-old children some pictures of the life cycle of the butterfly one day and I asked them how they thought it happened. One little boy’s face lit up and he exclaimed, “I know, the caterpillar has the heart of a butterfly!” What a wise old soul. It is true that if we know within our hearts what we want to become, then we will become that.
A friend of mine recently realized that she was only able to see herself through other people’s eyes. A counsellor asked her how she saw herself, and she replied that people said she was attractive, intelligent, and fun to be with. On being further pushed to say what she saw, she realized with horror she saw nothing, only a reflection of herself in other people’s eyes, and she was experiencing a profound feeling of being disconnected from herself.
It is a frightening feeling when we don’t know who we are. And many of us don’t, or have come to a point in life where we are seriously seeking some clarity. There has never been a time when we were more in need of some simple ancient wisdom—a spiritual as opposed to a material explanation of who we are. For so long we have been caught up in an identity based on external factors such as our job, appearance, talents and relationships. We have looked to other people, situations and circumstances to define us, to affirm us and to be the source of our pleasure. We have lost ourselves by comparing ourselves with others and measuring ourselves against material standards of success and achievement.
To begin to retrieve ourselves from this mess means a change of perception from physical self-awareness to spiritual self-awareness, seeing ourselves as a soul or spiritual consciousness that is beyond form. The natural state of the soul is internal strength and highest expression of the soul is to express that strength in the form of love, confidence, courage, and many other positive qualities. To have our center of gravity firmly anchored in this part of us makes us bigger than the detail of our daily lives, so that whatever challenge life presents us with we can stand firm and solid. It is to have an experience of Self that “brings a feeling of standing on solid ground inside oneself, on a patch of eternity, which even physical death cannot touch …” (Marie-Louise Von Franz).
It’s quite a challenge to work with a vision of yourself that is beyond image!—for your butterfly to have wings of compassion, peace courage and love as opposed to promotion, beauty, wealth and success! Yet I have seen many people meditating for the first time, connecting with this inner reality, breathing sighs of relief and sharing experiences of an inner freedom and lightness they have never felt before.
Of course the real challenge comes in integrating this experience into daily life, for spiritual self-awareness does not mean ignoring your physical, social and emotional world, but using it to give you the will power, the tools and strength to bring healing and change into all areas of your life. Without a spiritual awareness you may find yourself trying to make superficial changes when things go wrong, like putting knick-knacks and decorations over subsidence or putting more icing on a rotten cake—the equivalent of buying more clothes, eating more food, or drinking more alcohol when you feel depressed. Without a spiritual practice such as meditation you may know very well what changes in attitude and behavior would be good for you, but simply not have the energy or power to put them into practice.
The energy and inner strength that is experienced in meditation equips you with the right weapons to fight a non-violent war—weapons such as patience, tolerance, forgiveness, compassion, acceptance and generosity. For however deeply we believe in our positive selves and however real our experiences of our spiritual self have been, this reality will inevitably be challenged. You may believe that you are a peaceful, loving soul, but can you maintain this experience in the face of sickness or criticisms. A spiritual awareness means always being ready with the right weapons, where battle and victory are an opportunity for alchemy. Where there was fear let there be courage, where lies and illusion—truth, where anger—acceptance, where hurt—forgiveness. Attacks will not just come from outside. Our self-image is made up of layers and layers of past experiences in our own subconscious in the form of deeply ingrained habits of negative thought patterns and behavior. Lasting change and healing requires a deep commitment to emerging gold from lead.
When awakened to their spirituality, people typically discover a sense of purpose and meaning in life. This should not just be a fleeting sensation! The challenge is to live every day with a sense of meaning and purpose. Do you understand the significance of the roles you play, the work you do, the talents you have? This is a potential minefield of stress, frustration, and boredom, of unfulfilled dreams and feelings of failure. Yet from a spiritual perspective, whatever you do is presenting you with exactly what you need for your growth and inner change. You may need to be in a situation to learn patience and humility. You may be bursting to change things on an external level but the best thing you can do right now is to change your attitude and perception towards what you do—patiently waiting for a time when the change that will happen is not a reaction against something bad, but a conscious choice to move towards something good.
What does it mean to translate spiritual self-awareness into your relationships with other people? Are you able to love? Do you love yourself enough to love other people? —to know that love is a verb and not something that will be found in the ideal person, or the ideal situation? —to be as committed to seeing gold in other people as you are to seeing the gold in yourself, appreciating how deeply connected those two perceptions are? When our inner resources are weak we cannot take other people’s attacks and defenses, and the easiest thing to do is to highlight their weaknesses as a way to avoiding responsibility for how we are feeling. To be stable in our own spiritual self awareness is to be able to turn things around, so that faced with someone coming from a space of anger, fear or jealousy, I am not threatened but I can disarm their negativity by seeing beyond it to their goodness. To maintain this vision needs a lot spiritual power—when you are tired and low on energy yourself you get stuck in the external appearance of things and it is much easier to blame, criticize, and put others down.
True self awareness is to see and accept the full life cycle of change—that there is the caterpillar, the cocoon and then the butterfly; that the alchemist uses lead to make gold and daylight always follows the night. A spiritual perspective gives an understanding of this complete story, and enables you to view the story from some place “outside of” or “beyond” yourself, without getting too caught up in any part of the detail. It enables you to see weakness and strength with equanimity and stability; to see weakness as a temporary reality but not ultimately part of true identity; to see weakness as the flip side of strength and to always make the choice to move towards the light, to move towards gold and to move towards flight.
Without seeing the full picture it’s very easy to get caught up in a small part of the story. Many people can accept their weaknesses but not their strengths. When asked to list positive and negative things about themselves, the negative list comes far easier and is a lot longer! Maybe it feels safer to stay on familiar ground, “It’s my personality to be like this. I can’t change., I was born like it!” To see themselves in a positive light is to step out of their comfort zone into dangerously unknown territory. I am reminded of children whose only way of reaching out and making contact with others is through physical violence, because that is the only language they know; and whose attention-seeking strategies result in constantly being told off. But they are getting exactly what they want—attention! For those whose early and subsequent life experiences have been characterized by pain and suffering it takes a Herculean effort of will and courage to step beyond this into a language of love.
Perhaps less common but certainly a potential hazard, is when we accept our strengths but go to great lengths to avoid facing and accepting weaknesses. None of us is perfect, and even the greatest souls have a shadow side. And this shadow has to be seen and embraced if we are to keep on growing. Courage can only come from facing fear, compassion from understanding anger. The peace we can experience is only in contrast to chaos. Every weakness is a strength out of balance; a feeling of worthlessness can be humility distorted, and arrogance may be confidence for the wrong reasons.
It is an art to look at Beauty and Beast with equanimity. And the greatest threat to that is fear. Fear is the big distorting mirror. We look in the mirror and see Beast, and stay with Beast because Beast says I have nothing to live up to, and has plenty of excuses for not having to do anything. Or we look in to the mirror and see Beauty and ignore Beast. And if Beast does not get at least a nod of acknowledgement he will chase us, driving us from within the labyrinth of our subconscious, demanding sacrifices—a missed opportunity here, a damaged relationship there. He will rear his ugly head manifesting as projections, denials, excuses and distortions of truth. So Beauty has to fall in love with Beast to turn him back in to a prince. And the only way for Beauty to love Beast is go beyond fear. Look in to the mirror and see beyond Beast and just see light. Light fills you with the love and courage to face and transform your weaknesses and the strength to express your strengths.
Top Beauty Myths
| Furl It |
I must admit, even I have fallen for some of these misconceptions. Before you fall into the trap of believing any of these beauty myths, we unravel the mysteries behind these common misconceptions.
1. When shaping your eyebrows, you have to follow your natural brow line.
Not true. Now, we’re not recommending creating super-high arches that look unnatural, but there is definitely more than one eyebrow shape which suits your face - even if it differs from your natural brow line.
2. It is not necessary to wear sunscreen during winter. Just because you don’t feel the sun’s rays pounding down on you, doesn’t mean its harmful UVA and UVB rays are not penetrating your skin, causing significant damage. Sunlight can penetrate clouds and even cause your skin to burn. A good rule of thumb is this: if you see a shadow, you need sunscreen. Remember, a tan is the result of your skin’s reaction to an injury.
3. Eating chocolate and fried foods cause breakouts. Thank goodness this is false! Studies have shown that pimples are caused from factors such as extreme stress or dead skin cells blocking pores. However, eating fresh fruits and raw vegetables does promote a healthier complexion.
4. Stick to one product line.
If you believe this, you have probably made more than a few salespeople very happy. You are not bound in any way to use any skin care programs nor should you feel obligated to fall for any such sales pitch. Of course, you may just love how all the products work together, but using products from different lines won’t hurt you either.
5. Shaving causes hair to grow back thicker. Not possible. Shaving does not affect hair growth or thickness. It may appear that your hair has grown back thicker, but that is because you cut the hair at a sharp angle.
6. Split ends can be repaired.
The only way you are going to get rid of those split ends is to cut them off entirely. You can, however, hydrate your hair to prevent split ends from happening in the future.
7. Dry skin causes wrinkles.
These two things are completely separate from each other. Wrinkles are caused by a combination of internal and external factors, including collagen deterioration and sun damage. The good news is, moisturizing your skin can temporarily smooth out wrinkles.
8. Acne is caused by dirt.
In actuality, acne begins below the surface and is not affected by dirt in any way. Linking acne with dirt may give the impression that if you have acne, your face is “dirty” and hence, you feel the need to the need to scrub acne away. Not a good idea! Treat your skin gently for long-term health and beauty.
Skip The Soda

Okay so you’re counting calories and trying hard to stick to the average daily intake, but are you including all those liquid calories? Many people forget that each time they gulp down a root beer or a coca-cola they’re adding a heap of extra calories. Those added calories may be what’s keeping you from losing those few extra pounds.
Recent findings from researchers at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University suggest that people just don’t compensate for extra liquid calories. They have found a “clear association between soft-drink intake and taking in more calories,” and that “on days when people drink soft drinks, they consumed more calories than on the days when they did not have soft drinks.”
If you’re eating the same amount and still drinking soda on top of it all, just remember that liquid calories add up fast. The best thing would be to save sugary drinks for special occasions. If you want to change your diet and focus on losing a little weight, cutting out soft drinks and other high-cal beverages is a good place to start!
Anti Aging and Water
| Furl It |
It is true; you can stop the signs of aging with something as simple as watching how much water you are drinking on a daily basis. You see your body is designed to naturally repair and heal itself. Your body is made up of cells that are always replacing themselves and they can either produce stronger or
weaker cells to take over. As you age, your body needs more help in regenerating those cells. Water is the best way to help your body with cell reproduction.
How much water is enough?
It is recommended that your drink at least half of your body weight in ounces of water everyday. However I like to make sure I drink at least that and add a
few extra ounces everyday to really stay as hydrated as possible. Remaining fully hydrated at all times helps your skin to remain soft and free of those
pesky wrinkles that come over time. Not only does pure water help to reduce signs of aging, it also improves your body in many other areas of health. You maybe asking right now, “how am I going to drink that much water everyday?” That is a completely understandable question that many feel like they either won’t be able to drink that much, or don’t enjoy drinking water enough for that. This is my recommendation that I found really helped me. I fill up water bottles that equal more than the amount I need to drink that day. After all, we want to help our anti aging battle anyway we can. So, we’ll fill up our water bottles, and carry them with us through out the day. Some people also find it hard to drink plain water; you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon to add a little flavor to you water. Filtered water is recommended, and you should stay away from pre-flavored waters as many of them contain juices and sugars that will not help you with anti aging! The other suggestion I have for anti aging with water is that you drink at least two cups of room temperature water as this helps in detoxification of the body as well.
Other Benefits of Water
A secret I recently learned about drinking water is that you can use it as a “comfort food”. Many people find that when they are stressed out they eat because a full stomach produces a feeling of comfort. However when eating, more times than not, we are tempted to grab foods that are loaded with sugar, high carbohydrates and white flour. Eating a lot of these foods is really hard on your body and can degenerate cell growth. Not to mention these foods are fattening and can also add on a few extra pounds which no one really wants. The best thing to do is when you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed is to drink down as much water was possible, it will help fill your stomach to give you that comfort and it will once again help you with the anti-aging process!
Skin Care Is A Daily Ritual
| Furl It |
Today no one needs to have problems with their skin; there are many products that can use on the market today. Trying to find the best skin products will take research and time. Today the sun is the biggest cause of damaged skin. Proper skin care should start when we are young children. We all want to look and feel our best and good skin care is a significant contributing factor. Natural skin care can improve the texture of all skin types, at a minimum cost. By using cleaners and soap plus using the right makeup can help with your skin. In addition, skin care is linked to other factors, including diet and exercise. Using natural skin care products is using products that created using natural ingredients.
When looking at someone’s skin you can see the pores with the naked eye, they are not large but you can see them, if a pore got clogged you will see the black spot and it will be very noticeable. Skin aging is 90% of the time due to sun damage and 10% due to genetic factors. The pores of normal skin type are visible but not large or clogged although occasionally they may break out in spots. Intrinsic or biological aging is due to genetic factors. The pores of normal skin type are visible but not large or clogged although occasionally they may break out in spots. Sun induced skin aging can be prevented by following simple rules, put sun block on and don’t stay out in the sun for long periods of time. The first step to taking care of your skin is preventing damage. Skin aging is a result of programmed events, which are represented by modifications at the cellular and molecular level. Sun damage can prematurely age your skin and everyone has this threat looming over them.
Organic skin care involves using organic products. When you hear everyone talking about organic this is when foods are grown with out chemicals like pesticides or any type of insecticides. Organic skin care involves using organic products. Today most people realize that organic is better - better for the environment and better for you.
It use to be that women only cared about the way they looked and their beauty, today both men and women are now hypnotized about their appearances. The word beauty is denoted by how healthy your skin is. Beauty is only skin deep but a beautiful heart and mind, deserve beautiful skin. All it takes to preserve that youth and beauty is a little effort and a good image skin care system.
Several rejuvenating products are now available on the market. If your skin or complexion is not improving with the over counter products consult a professional to diagnose the problem. The benefit of using the in-depth approach is that the Dermalogical skin care products can be selected to meet the needs of each person. The skin care industry is changing very quickly, right now everyone is talking about the dead sea skin care and just a couple of months ago it was Alpha Hydroxy Acids.
Hair Care
| Furl It |
Hair is also most important part of our beauty. Healthy hair is a reflection of a healthy body. Water makes up one-fourth of the weight of a strand of hair. Water not only hydrates your body, but helps keep your hair silky and shiny. You should drink between eight and ten glasses of water a day.
Protein is the building block of hair. You can get protein from fish, meat, milk, cheese, and cereals. Minerals like iron, zinc, copper are very essential elements for your hair. You can get these elements from vegetables, meat, milk, seeds, cereals, nuts etc.
Vitamin A will give you a healthy scalp. Vitamin B, C is important for bird circulation. You can get these vitamins from fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk and bread.
Tips For healthy hair:
A healthy lifestyle will mean healthier hair for you. Excessive stress, smoking, not exercising and not eating nutritiously are not healthy for your hair. Get enough sleep.
Avoid using hair styling products with alcohol which dries out hair.
Avoid putting hair styling products directly on your scalp; if you put it on your scalp you’ll clog the pores on your head.
It is important to wash your hair, shampooing removes dirt, dead skin cells, hair oils, any hair products you may put into your hair.
You should wash your hair as often as you feel necessary to keep it clean, but a general rule is for oily hair you should wash it every day or every other day and for dry hair only wash it 2-3 times a week.
Shower with warm water, hot water can dry and/or irritate the scalp.
Comb your hair to remove any tangles before brushing it.
If you have only a mild case of dandruff, shampooing your hair with a regular shampoo daily or twice a day will usually do the trick.
Avoid sleeping with tightly braided hair or hair in a tight ponytail. The stress can cause breakage and/or hair loss.
Even if you plan on growing your hair out further you should trim your hair once every 3 months, if not split ends will cause your hair to break off and your hair will begin to lose its beauty, if you plan on just maintaining your length, a trim once every month and a half to two months should suffice.
Avoid excessive wind, sun, and heat (such as from hair dryers, hot showers, and curling irons) on your hair.
If you color your hair, limit coloring it to once ever 2 months. Hair coloring damages your hair and the less frequently you color it the better.
By taking these types of care, you can prevent hair loss. You should be able to get healthy hair, just taking small care.
