Say NO to Passive Smoking 3


I have visited to Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur yesterday evening. After came out from the Canon EOS Professional shop, I was having my dinner at Secret Recipe, 3rd floor.

While I was relaxing myself and thinking of getting a new Canon EOS 1000D Digital SLR for photography as well as snap shots of pictures for my blogs, some strong irritating passive cigarette smokes appeared
These two gentlemen were puffing at the air-conditioned area, and just below the “No Smoking
Warning Sign”. I wonder in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur, they are still people who are so selfish and ignorance against acts and laws.

If you hate passive smoking, please share this site to your friends.

Get moving and tone up


Strength training increases your metabolism. Muscle burns more fuel (kilojoules and calories) at rest than does fat. Each day, a pound of muscle burns over 10 times as much energy as a pound of fat just to maintain itself. So a couple of extra pound or kilos of muscle will automatically mean you burn off more food. Also, the stronger you are, the more likely you are to exercise, and you’ll look trimmer because you are toned.

Women should also practice exercises that will strengthen their pelvic muscles. This will strengthen muscles that hold the bladder. If you are pregnant, these exercises will help prepare the pelvic muscles for delivery. You can do Kegel exercises just about anywhere.

To do a Kegel: Tighten your muscles as if you were trying to stop your urine stream (but do it when you are not urinating.) Try not to tighten buttocks, inner thighs, or stomach muscles. Hold for 3 seconds. Repeat 10 times during the day. Work up to tightening your pelvic muscles for 10 seconds, 10 times a day.

If you are having your period try this stretch exercise, it will soothe the cramps; Lie on your back with your knees bent and feel flat on the floor. Grasp one thigh behind the knee and slowly pull it to your chest. Hold for 20 seconds, then lower your leg. Repeat three times with each leg.

Marco’s Comment:
Women and Men who exercise and work out the body looks not only healthy looking, but they are sexy, and attractive.
Kegel exercise can also enhance men and women sexual life as it could helps to deliver sexual orgasm for both.

Curing Coughs and Colds



Nothing cures colds but at the very least there are good symptom relievers on the market

Decongestants
Topical decongestants such as nasal sprays must not be used longer than five days at a time. They should be kept refrigerated and be discarded after a month.

Oral decongestants can cause insomnia, restlessness and should be avoided in patients with hypertension, heart problems, hyperthyroidism, diabetes or urinary retention.

Antihistamines
Help with runny noses, watery eyes and dry cough. You should avoid driving, operating machinery and drinking alcohol if the antihistamine causes drowsiness.

Paracetamol
Helps with fever and body aches.

Combination products
1. Decongestant and paracetamol- a useful combination if you have mild fever and some aches and pains- be careful not to take excessive doses of paracetamol.
2. Decongestant, paracetamol and cough suppressant- good when you also have a dry cough.
3. Decongestant, paracetamol and anthihismine- useful if you are suffering from a runny nose.

Marco's comment:
If possible, just relax and gain rest, drink lot of water will do.
Consume medicines only if necessary.
