The Rainbow of Health
The Bible tells us that God gave the world the rainbow as a sign that He would never again send floods to destroy the inhabitants of the world. Throughout the world the rainbow goes by many names. Some of the names are: the flashing arch, bow of Indra, little window in the sky, bride of the rain, arch of Saint Martin, bridge of the Holy Spirit, crown of Saint Bernard, and the girdle of God. The rainbow is beautiful to look at and a refreshing symbol to behold after a good rain. It is also a reminder of God's love for us. Perhaps we can also use the rainbow as a health reminder. The colors of the rainbow can be a reminder of the colors of the fruits and vegetables that we should eat on a daily basis...
Life Without Death
The concept of life without death is the act of living life endlessly, without any point of termination. Death is a discharge from the duties of life; it entails a change of existence, it is an absence of life. According to Lucretius a Roman poet, and philosopher, he expresses the view of pantheism about death, that death is nothing to us, and no concern of us, because when the union between the body and the spirit has been disruptedthat there is nothing we can do, so the issue of death should be accepted as a common fate of all. The idea of life without death is seen as non existent by the school of dualism, because they argue that without death, there is no life. They believe that one exist with...

Life: at Bat in the Second Inning!
A growing number of us can now expect to live close to or past 100 years, so 50 has become midlife. Today instead of approaching midlife with the obligations of work and family, baby boomers are looking to a second half they pretty much design as they wish. For many of them, the results don't look much like what their parents and grandparents called retirement. Whether because of layoffs or because they're weary of their jobs, many are considering new possibilities for their post-50 years and that includes starting a business of their own. Many of these business endeavors combine their passions and talents into a revenue-producing career. This marriage fits their goals in ways a salaried job...
Weight Loss V. Good Health
In our zeal to lose weight we often lose sight of the more significant issue of good health. Certainly it is good for our health to lose unwanted fat, and of course we all want to look good in front of the mirror. But it is vitally important to remember that good health is the number one concern and looking good in your jeans is a distant second. I emphasize this because I am continually put off by the number of diet plans or weight solutions that either do not encourage overall health or are actually detrimental to your health to begin with. So called diet pills, which include the "natural" herbs such as hoodia, are effective in decreasing your appetite. But these pills imply a "quick fix" solution...

What is Term Life Insurance??
There are two different types of life insurance, term life insurance and permanent life insurance. Term life insurance is the easier of the two plans. This plan supplies you with death protection for a pre-determined amount of time, anywhere from one to 30 years. If you happen to die while paying on this type of policy your beneficiary will be paid the amount of money you specified when purchasing the policy. If at the end of the term you are still living your death protection coverage will cease unless of course you renew the policy. You can purchase this policy on a minimum budget and it is particularly perfect for providing coverage while your children are still in the home or while paying off a...

Dealing With Health Insurance Companies When You Are Sick
When you are ill, you probably have zero interest in dealing with your health insurance company. In fact, they are probably the last person that you want to talk to.

Weight Loss Motivation
You've decided it's time to take off those extra pounds. It doesn't really matter how they got there, or why you want them gone now. It's just time. Most people make the commitment to lose weight twice a year, once around the New Year, and again as summer approaches. Most people are not successful. Why? Because they lack weight loss motivation. It is nearly impossible to lose weight or accomplish any big goal, without proper and on-going motivation. So, where does weight loss motivation come from? First and foremost, it must come from within. Deciding to lose weight because your partner wants you to, or because you want to look like Beyonce or Matthew McConaughey is fine, except it probably won't...

High Fiber Foods For Healthy Aging
Fiber and Brain Health As we age, our bodies begin to deteriorate. No matter how well we take care of ourselves, we become slower, more fragile, and our mental capacity suffers.

Health Insurance Cost and Healthcare Reform
With a New Congress and the campaigns for the Whitehouse in '08 in full swing, both progressives and conservatives agree that healthcare reform especially as it regards affordable medical insurance is at the forefront of the minds of most Americans.

Healthcare reform has been an issue that has been approached much like the taste of saliva in ones mouth, when taken in little tiny doses overtime like it usually is, it doesn't bother us much at all, in fact we hardly notice it is there - but no one would like to sit down and...
Choosing The Right Natural Health Supplement
In today's society, it is almost impossible to get the correct nourishment from vitamins, minerals, herbals and others from our food intake alone. Many, (if not all) have to consume daily supplements to ensure our bodies are getting all it needs to continue working properly and disease free. As the natural health industry continues to increase in popularity, the amount of products that are ineffective will continue to increase. Several companies would rather see that you buy their product, instead of making sure that you are getting what is said to be in the bottle of "pills".So how can we get the best possible products for ourselves?

The Big Weight Loss Motivation Secret
I used to work at a health club. We had around twenty six hundred members sign-up last January. They were very excited to start their exercise programs. You should have seen their hopeful faces. By March, 95 percent of them stopped coming. Their motivation had waned. The same thing happened the year before and will happen again the year after. Let's focus for a moment on the 5 percent that remained committed to their goals. What separates them from the quitters? The answer might surprise you. Everyone joins the gym on an emotional high, itching to get started. They never really sat down and thought about the changes that are coming in their life. Simply joining a gym does not guarantee results...

Nutritional Supplements and Your Health
Walk through any supermarket or retail chain store and you will find rows upon rows of health supplements; in fact, go to the mall and you will find entire stores dedicated to them. It is absolutely mind boggling how many there are to choose from, and it leaves a person wondering if they should buy several supplements for optimum health, or go with a once-a-day vitamin to cure all their nutritional ailments. In theory, a nutritional supplement is supposed to supply nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids, that are missing from a person's diet and are essential for someone's health. Herbal supplements are also included under the umbrella term "supplements." Most herbs and...
Life and Health in the Year 1000
Compared with the way things used to be, we have it so very soft today. It's easy to take our modern conveniences for granted. We can fill our days with leisure, bustle around in comfy autos, work only 40 of the 168 hours in a week, chat with therapists, read philosophy, shop for unnecessary stuff to clog our closets and garages, climate control our dwellings and complain about the softness of our mattresses. In the year 1000, even when agriculture had been around for some 10,000 years, life was entirely different. In Anglo-Saxon society, a precursor to the modern West, the possibility of famine was ever-present and memories of the last one made dread and fear a part of everyday life. Looming...

To Foreclose? Or Not To Foreclose?
It is very unfortunate that about half of Southern Californian home owners are having issues paying their mortgages. Some homeowners are having to adjust to a spike in the adjustable-rate and they cannot handle it. For many that's a 20 percent to 30 percent increase in their home loan repayments! Insane, isn't it, how many of us could really manage an increase of that size without any financial problems? The real problem here is now the loans were sold, most if not all loan offices fail to tell you what will happen when the "fixed rate period" comes to an end all they really care about is their commission on your loan. In Los Angeles County alone the rise in foreclosures went up 5% and thats been...

Q & A On Vitamins And Minerals
Q- What about vitamin and minerals. Do we get enough from our food or do we actually need to supplement? A- It depends on where you are coming from and what culture. Again if you get variety in your diet there is probably no need for vitamin and mineral supplement. Most people get enough variety in their diet so they don't need a supplement but there are exceptions to that rule. If you are pregnant or lactating or if there is some other need for vitamins and minerals then it is probably a good idea. You kind of need to go off your doctors recommendations. Q- Would age be a factor? A- Yes, there are quite a few areas where you may need a supplement. You know supplements can be expensive. Some may...
A Paradox of Choice Highlights The Need To Evaluate If you already take nutritional supplements or are considering starting then you're no doubt well aware of the seemingly endless array of products and choices in the market.

Because nutritional supplements in the US are currently regulated under 'food GMP' (and these do not address the unique aspects of supplement manufacturing) the market has become...
Fasting: the Utimate Diet for Weight Loss and Health
In biblical times, fasting was very popular and used to heal or cure many different diseases. The bible has 74 references to fasting. Both Jesus and Moses fasted for 40 days. It was after this fast that Jesus preached and performed miracles like walking on water and bringing the dead back to life. Many 'dumb' animals also do fasting. The New England Journal of Medicine says "Fasting is a valid experience. It can benefit any otherwise healthy person whose calories now have the upper hand in his/her life." Philippus Paracelsus, a Swiss physician and one of the 3 fathers of Western Medicine (including also Hippocrates and Galen), said "Fasting is the greatest remedy-- the physician within." Elson M...
Weight Control is the Way to Health
Excessive body weight compounds many health problems. It stresses the heart, the muscles, and the bones. It increases the likelihood of hernias, hemorrhoids, gallbladder disease, and many other conditions. Excess weight makes breathing more difficult, slows you down, makes you less effective in personal encounters, and lowers your self-image. Fat people are hospitalized more frequently than people with normal weight.

Eye Health Supplements
The eyes are considered the windows to the soul and the language they speak need no translation. Unfortunately, as far as overall health is concerned, very few people put their eyes on the top of the list. Irrespective of the philosophy attached to it, the eyes can actually reveal a lot about the health of an individual, and taking care of the eyes means improved health. Dietary deficiencies are considered the leading cause of poor eyesight for children in the age group of 5 ? 15 years, where diet tantrums are rampant. Even for adults over fifty, where macular degeneration is the largest cause of vision loss, diets poor in vitamins and minerals are to blame. All these problems can be prevented and...
Oreck Air Purifiers Are Very Popular And Energy Efficient
It is believed that air pollution will cause an estimated forty to fifty million Americans to suffer from air related allergies.
