Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve anyone; it must husband its resources to live.  But health or fullness answers its own ends, and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men’s necessities. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d druther not. – Mark Twain

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down.  And this is all life really means. – Robert Louis Stevenson

Though the circular round-and-round of routine be the bulk of life’s affairs, make an occasional jutting diversion – of fun, love, or something that will outlast you – so the shape and motion of your life shall resemble the round lifegiving sun with bright rays shining forth from all directions. – Terri Guillemets

There is a necessity for a regulating discipline of exercise that, whilst evoking the human energies, will not suffer them to be wasted. – Thomas de Quincey

Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. – Plato

The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck! – Unknown

You’ve got a lot of choices.  If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you’re not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice. – Steven D. Woodhull

A new analysis of past studies published this week has suggested that children who get more exercise also tend to do better in school.

The finding “just helps to continue to show the importance of exposing kids to physical activity,” said Sandy Slater, who has studied recess and physical education at the University of Illinois at Chicago but wasn’t involved in the new research.

“There’s obviously the long-term links between physical activity and health, but this is another reason to try to continue to keep some dedicated amount of time for physical education or recess or some other types of physical activity in the school day,” she told Reuters Health.

“It might mean going to school by bike… Any kind of physical activity you can think of. It doesn’t mean only the physical education standard class,” said Amika Singh, who worked on the new study.

A European poll has shown that a third of doctors working in intensive care units (ICUs) believe one or more of their patients is getting inappropriate care, with slightly fewer nurses sharing the same sentiment.

“What this study shows is that a striking number of ICU physicians and nurses on any given day are providing care they perceive to be inappropriate,” Dr. Scott Halpern, who wrote an editorial about the findings, told Reuters Health.

“What it doesn’t tell us is why they are doing it,” he said. “We live in a society where life-support and aggressive care are provided by default,” said Halpern, who studies critical care at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia.

National Innovation Council head Sam Pitroda has been appointed by the West Bengal government as adviser to its ‘resurgent Bengal’ project.

Pitroda said he will work in the areas of education, health, innovation, and technology for the resurgence of West Bengal.

From in.news.yahoo.com:

‘My background is technology, education, innovation and I have done some good work on health. So wherever I can help… I know experts in these fields who would join us in this effort,’ Pitroda told mediapersons.

‘In Bengal, we have to learn to innovate to create jobs. We have talked about industrial clusters. As the part of the National Innovation Council, we are now working on innovation in clusters,’ said Pitroda, considered the father of India’s communication revolution.

Pitroda shares a very good rapport with Banerjee, who had roped him in during her stint as the railways minister for laying of optic fibre cable network along rail tracks for commercial utilisation.

‘We have invited Sam Pitroda to help us in converting Kolkata into a knowledge city. He will also help in the resurgence of Bengal. He will act as an advisor for Bengal in terms of modernisation, industrialisation and creation of a knowledge hub,’ said Banerjee.

There is nothing better and more inspiring than motivational quotations when the buzzword is health

Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can’t buy. – Izaak Walton (1593 – 1683)

Pain (any pain–emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls into one of two categories: “We would be more alive if we did more of this,” and, “Life would be more lovely if we did less of that.” Once we get the pain’s message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away. – Peter McWilliams, Life 101

The concept of good health has been explored to the fullest in the last decade. Let us access the role and importance of health and fitness quotes for fitness conscious people that will help you understand things in an easy and interesting manner.

One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make the bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying himself with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle. – Henry David Thoreau

Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself, it will do more than if you paralyze it by encumbering it with remedies. – Leo Tolstoy

Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;… and not today’s pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man. – James H. West

Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve anyone; it must husband its resources to live.  But health or fullness answers its own ends, and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men’s necessities. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

A warning was recently issued by doctors who were of the view that expectant mothers who eat for two could jeopardize their health for decades.

It was revealed by doctors that women who put too much of weight in pregnancy are more than four times as likely to be obese as twenty years later as those who follow guidelines of doctors.

From Dailymail.co.uk:

Being obese can take nine years off a person’s life and raise the risk of health problems including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, infertility, depression and some cancers.

Experts said there had been too much emphasis on ensuring babies were born at a healthy weight and not on the health needs of mothers.

The news came as it also emerged that men who are obese at 20 are twice as likely to die young.

The research on mothers-to-be questioned the traditional approach of encouraging them to eat more.

Philip James, an obesity advisor for the Government and the World Health Organisation, said: ‘We need to move from the old story of saying eat what you fancy and put on 26lb.

‘The study is the first to show that excess pregnancy weight gain tends to persist for decades’, said Dr Abdullah Al Mamun, of the University of Queensland.

A zero-calorie, sweet candy that has the capability of increasing energy levels, boosting health, and slowing down the aging process besides improving skin complexion is about to hit the market next year.

‘Beauty candy’ apparently contains zero fat, preservatives, sugar and sodium, and has few calories. The candy is packed with collagen and vitamins to care ‘for the beauty from inside to outside’.

From in.news.yahoo.com:

“As a parent, I don’t want my daughters eating this with the idea it will make them somehow more beautiful. Sweets and chocolates are meant to be enjoyed as indulgent treats, not as potential health or beauty aids,” the Daily Mail quoted Angus Kennedy, chief chocolate taster for a number of confectioners and a father of four.

“It’s morally wrong to promote such a concept to people. Beauty candy seems just like another cynical attempt to sell product by tapping into people’s insecurities with their looks.’

Beauty Candy is part of the ‘Beauty’ in’ brand, launched this summer by Brazilian entrepreneur and socialite Cristiana Arcangeli.

The 51-year-old said that the new line will “bring beauty to a new dimension” by being the first in a new category of food dubbed ‘alimetics’ that specifically contain cosmetic properties.

The Beauty candy is already on sale in Brazil and is all set to enter the UK market.

Sex and desire have always been seen as very important parts of human life but most of us tend to ignore the safety and healthy bedroom rules for a quick, unplanned, and steamy session of sex.

Dr. Barry Buffman, a Board Certified urologist and the director of the Los Angeles Boston Medical Group, has given ten top sex myths that are most common among the male community.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

The first myth concerns the belief that a woman will not get pregnant if a guy ”pulls out” before ejaculation.

Men do not always know when ejaculatory fluid begins to seep out – and even ahead of a perceptible orgasm, pre-ejaculate (which includes sperm) is released and is enough to get a woman pregnant.

The second myth concerns thinking about someone else during the act, which is a bad thing to do.

A large part of the sexual experience starts with your brain, not your body, and sometimes your brain can wander. If you are committed to your lady, and your relationship is in a good place, it’s okay to think about Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox every now and then.

The third myth is the belief that premature ejaculation only affects young men.

Some men do find that premature ejaculation begins at the onset of sexual maturity, but plenty of men also find it to be an issue later in life. In fact, premature ejaculation affects 30 per cent of men at sometime in their lives.

Often, early ejaculation in men who are in their 30s or older is a co-symptom of erectile dysfunction or fatigue, poor cardiovascular conditioning, depression, anxiety, or neurological symptoms.

The fourth myth is about the belief that oral sex is safer than vaginal sex.

From teenagers to former President Bill Clinton, oral sex seems to have the stigma of a “free pass” as far as sexual relationships go. Yes, it does count as sex, and yes, you can get a sexually transmitted disease from oral sex.

In addition to that, penis size is in no direct relation to the amount of satisfaction that can be experienced with sex. Moreover, a man’s readiness for sex may be influenced by factors such as diet, sleep, health, stress, medical conditions, self confidence, and relationship disharmony.

Losing a job may be one of the worst days in any one’s life but thousands of unemployed people will be considering June 1 as particularly bleak.

As of June 1, people who lose their jobs after June 1 aren’t eligible for any subsidy (subsidized 65% of COBRA premiums for laid-off workers for up to 15 months) that were previously granted under the economic stimulus bill signed into law in February 2009.

From USAtoday.com:

COBRA allows departing workers to continue their former employers’ group insurance, but ordinarily, workers have to pay the entire premium, plus an administrative cost.

A Treasury study released last month found that up to a third of eligible unemployed workers signed up for subsidized COBRA.

The easiest way to get health insurance is to find a job with group coverage, but in this economy, that’s a tall order. How to stay covered:

Maintain COBRA coverage for as long as possible. While the COBRA subsidy expires after 15 months, COBRA is available for 18 months. The difference, of course, is that your premiums will skyrocket. Families USA, an advocacy group, estimates that the average family pays $1,107 a month for unsubsidized COBRA premiums.

Still, if you can scrape together enough money to pay the premiums for a month or two, you’ll buy some time to explore other coverage options, says Phil Lebherz, executive director for the Foundation for Health Coverage Education, a non-profit supported by insurance companies.

Carrie McLean, consumer specialist for eHealthInsurance, said that a licensed insurance agent can still help the unemployed explore the possible options.
