1. WORK TO THE MAX

“Stronger lungs mean more stamina and physical sharpness, whatever sport you do. Strength and conditioning coach for the US Olympic team. Want faster five kilometre times? Boost your VO2 max – the speed at which your lungs oxygenate your blood, which in turns fuels your muscles. “Do 30 minutes of cardio three times a week and increase the distance by five percent every week.”

2. GO STREAMING IN
Germs and bugs clog up your breathing pipes, sapping endurance and making you cough like a 50-a-day smoker. According to the American Journal of Medicine, steam will flush them clear. Crank up a scalding hot shower, close your bathroom door and sit in the steam for 20 minutes. You’ll emerge with the stamina of running legend.

Get the underwater skills of a fish by eating them. Simple. American Lung Association studies found that consuming 20g of fish oil a day boosted
lung function by a breathtaking 64 percent. Stock up on oily fish or take an omega-3 supplement daily. Then you can walk around in a Speedo all day.

There is more to yoga than the hot female practitioners. Researchers from Ball State University, Indiana, found taking stretching classes twice a week for 15 weeks signifcantly stretched their air-bags. Try ashtanga yoga – it’s nicknamed the “athlete’s yoga” for its aerobic qualities. “Lung function increases with anything that encourages deep breathing.
5. FIVE O’CLOCK SHADOW BOX
Training after work is the perfect time to boost your lung function. “Hitting a punch bag for about 20 minutes a day, three or four times a week is a tried-and-tested way of improving your cardiovascular and respiratory system.

Even though your body needs a wide variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain its proper functions, there are some that excel at keeping your hair healthy, shiny and strong. “It’s a good idea to take a multivitamin – especially with vitamin B6,” recommends Minnie.

If you’re tempted to drop a few kilos, beware of fat diets that could leave you with less-than-healthy hair. Low-energy diets are often lacking in some of the most important nutrients for healthy hair, including omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and vitamin A. In addition to stunting hair growth and leading to dullness, super-low kilojoule plans may even cause hair loss. A balanced diet of lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, fatty fish and low-fat dairy will help keep hair healthy. You want to lose weight, not your hair. If possible, consult a dietician when embarking on any kind of new diet.

breathing therapy

our nose has a left and a right side both of which we use to inhale and exhale.
Actually they are different, the right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon.

During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe. In about 5 mins, your headache will go.

If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose.After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to ‘hot’, so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to ‘cold’.

Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get “cooled off” faster.

Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.

Breast cancer has been one of the most wide spread diseases in today’s world. To date, no bio markers have been identified to predict outcome with the use of an antiangiogenesis agent for cancer. Vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF) genetic variability has been associated with altered risk of breast cancer and variable promoter activity. The authors therefore evaluated the association of VEGF genotype with efficacy and toxicity in E2100.These genes appear to increase the mobility and pervasiveness of breast cancer stages, allowing metastatic breast cancer.Cancer that has spread from its original location is said to have metastasized. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the lungs, it is not lung cancer, but rather metastasized or metastatic breast cancer.disease-free survival was similar among breast cancer patients treated with letrozole alone and breast cancer patients treated with sequential therapy. There was also no statistically significant difference in overall survival between the two monotherapies.I hope all of you out there can make good use of this post to spread the desired awareness about this really widespread disease. I wish you can get a lot of people to take this breast cancer treatment that will help them expel breast cancer out of their life once and for all .

Do your friends smoke?

Recent studies have shown that most individuals pick up the smoking habit during their teen age. It also says that if these individuals have friends who smoke, then the rate of smoking increases dramatically. This is real cause for concern. Health agencies must mull over the fact that despite their best efforts more and more youths are falling prey to this horrible habit. One of the frequent reasons that have been given for picking up this deadly habit, since the beginning, has been peer pressure. Human beings have always felt the need to be accepted, to be acknowledged to be a part of the group. When, some of the group members take up smoking, the others feel a strong urge to follow suit. In fact, most smokers don’t force their friends to take up this habit-they do it of their own accord. These youths must be made to realize how harmful smoking is, not only to themselves but to also others around him. They must also realize that none of the chain smokers started out by smoking so many packs a day. All of them started out as casual/social smokers. In fact, most of them don’t even know when they crossed the line. Hence, it is very important to avoid that initial urge to smoke one puff.
