Agree or disagree: Part of healthy living is laughing, even in the Women’s Health Category?

Posted by admin on Sep 29, 2009 under Healthy Living

People who ask obvious questions aren’t always trolls.

It was so funny when you hit refresh, one of your contacts funnyass questions would pop up everytime.. even the trolls are funny in those sections alot, because they don’t give a F.

What are some natural remedies for terrible low Blood pressure?

Posted by admin on Sep 29, 2009 under Natural Remedies

I have repeatedly terribly low blood pressure and I need some home or natural remedies for this. It is usually anywhere from 110/ 75 to 90 over 60 well I had some pretty scary readings this morning. Close to the point where I would be going into shock. SO I need your natural remedies for low blood pressure. Meaning I need to bring my Blood pressure up.
I’m completely uneducated in this regard. So in advance thanks for educating me.

The numbers themselves are one thing, the more important question is what do you FEEL like? If you aren’t dizzy or light headed or passing out with those low BP readings, there probably is nothing to worry about

There are some endocrine disorders that can cause low BP, but you would need to have blood tests through your physician to rule those out (TSH and cortisol levels at least)

Since people with high BP are adviced to cut back on salt…it is actually very reasonable for those with symptomatic low BP to make sure they are getting salt in their diet.

What is the best gradual self tanner on the market?

Posted by admin on Sep 29, 2009 under Self Help

Prom is coming up, and instead of playing up my pale skin tone, I would like to add some color to my skin. I would prefer not going to a tanning salon or getting a spray on tan, and I feel that the self tanning lotions are the best option for me… What kind of self tanner would you recommend?

I agree, self tanning lotions work best for me over tanning beds and spray tans… they just turn out more natural looking.

I have tried a few tanning lotions and the one that worked amazing for me was Oil of Olay Touch of Sun

They have recently come out with the Overnight version as well and have not used that one. I have only tried the daily lotion.

I would suggest if you decide to buy the Facial tanner as well to buy the darkest shade. From experience I didn’t notice a difference in my face even using it for 1 week. It is also on the greasy side so if you already have oily skin- you may not want the facial tanner.

How do I teach my self to keep my feelings to my self rather than blurting them out?

Posted by admin on Sep 26, 2009 under Self Help

I need to keep my feelings to myself more. I have trouble keeping to my self . Is there anything I can do that will help.

unfortunately, the best way to learn it and really really learn it is to suffer some bad consequences from your blurting as you call it. hopefully, since you are wanting to stop this behavior, you can maybe just think ahead a little and wonder now what could happen if i blurt this out. and if you can give it enough thought you might realize the consequences. i am sorry i had to learn it the hard way and now, i am very careful about what i say. and there are times when i absolutely love it. when people say things they shouldn’t and you don’t respond, it is a great feeling to show the control and also they have no clue what you are thinking. ever heard the saying, always keep em guessing. there is a great deal of satisfaction in keeping your dignity, not offending others, etc. when a lot of others are just saying whatever first pops into their head. as i said, it is good that you recognize that you need to do this. when you see the benefits, it gets easier and easier. good luck. hey, at least you are trying to improve yourself, most people just never even try.
