Keep away from processed food

As we know, the quality of the food that one puts into his body has a direct correlation to the quality of health. Generally speaking, the food which is close to its original state of existence then the food is fit for your health. On the other hand, processed food is usually so far from its original state, so it’s unfit for your health. Let us learn of the reality of processed food, which is one that has been through any or all of the following: heating, adulteration, pulverization, reheating, denaturization or degrading. Do you think it safe to eat after these processes? Maybe not. Frankly speaking, the processed food would tend to be harmful because of three causes:

1. Chemicals are routinely added to the foods that we eat everyday, which are added for coloring, preserving, softening, hardening, thickening, and flavoring. It may help to create a longer lasting, better looking food, but it means we are ingesting toxins into our bodies. These toxins will have detrimental effects on us in the long term.

2. Processed food is dead and has very little nutritional value. For example, a raw carrot will give you loads of beta carotene and other important nutrients. But a carrot inside a frozen TV dinner will give you no nutrition at all because of its being chemically altered so it could stay fresh in the freezer for months.

3. The processed food is fattening and addictive. The chemicals that get added to the food make us crave more of it. Our body will take anything it can get to fill the lack of nutrition. It is also said that processed food is probably the number one reason why America has such a weight problem today.

So, stay away from processed food and you will live a healthy life.

How to deal with insomnia?

I have been getting insomnia for a few weeks, and I can’t fall into deep sleep every night. Once getting up in morning, I often feel tired and sleep-debt. Sleep-debt is a word invented by myself, because I think that the symptom of insomnia implies lack of enough sleep.

From some materials, I have learnt that many people suffered from insomnia actually tend to think about many things before bed, for example, they often think about what to eat for tomorrow night's dinner or money issues before shutting your eyes at night, which I also often do. It is proved to prevent you from getting sleep.

And, I collect several tips for improving one’s (including me) quality of sleep:
1. Keep your breath proper. Certainly, everyone knows how to breathe; however, most people don’t know how to breathe properly to calm their minds and bodies. The proper breathing is: firstly you take a few deep breaths, close your eyes and try to push all of the clambering thoughts from your mind. Take a deep breath through your nose. You want to do this slowly, while concentrating on your body, and once your lungs are full of air, release it slowly through your mouth. And then you set a rhythm, and exercise it every night. Maybe after a few days, your quality of sleep would be improved a lot.

2. Massage is a wonderful tool to relax one’s body. Getting the knots of tension massaged out of your system can be relaxing and many people fall asleep while getting the massage.

3. Making love is also good method to relax you. Sex releases chemicals in the brain that naturally help you to relax and fall asleep.

4. Reading before bed can help you shut your mind off and divert your attention from the day's events.

5. A nice hot bath could also make you relaxed. Just make sure you have your bath an hour or so before bed so your body temperature can settle down afterwards.

No matter what method you like, as long as you can fall into deep sleep, you get the answer.

Healthy teeth - keep your smile confidently

Everyone would like to own healthy teeth, but the fact is more and more people nowadays are being annoyed with the teeth problem, especially decay. As we know, teeth decay occurs when bacteria grow on exposure of sugars and it makes one’s mouth acid. So, the sugars would lead one’s teeth decaying more seriously. We all have experience that we love sweet and eat them crazily in the childhood, so many children who ever ate too much sweets get teeth decay during their teenage time.

As a matter of fact, the origin of the teeth decay is the demineralization. Due to the bacterium’s attack, the chalky white spot is firstly formed, and then it would break down enamel, if the symptom is not treated timely, the decay would spread quickly and even reach to teeth pulp, which is the core of the teeth. Teeth pulp’s being infected just quickens the demineralization of teeth. So, if you feel your teeth chipping, maybe demineralization just occurs and you must go to ask the dentist for advice.

As usual, crown of teeth can be replaced by cosmetic dentist. And, bad discolored teeth can be removed by cosmetic dentist too. When you make up decisions to do an operation by dentist, the material of replacing crown may be your most concern. It is suggested that ceramic, metal or porcelain fused to metal (PFM) and gold-alloy, base metal alloy or other alloy are often the good material you can choose.
