Smoking Kills…
Smoking kills! That’s a fact. It may not kill you right away the moment you put your cigarette on your mouth. But as you puff, every cigarette you’re taking is taking away 15 minutes of your life. Three forth of the top 10 causes of death in the world is caused by smoking. These are coronary heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, AIDS, tuberculosis, lung cancer, premature child birth.
If you love your life, decide to quit smoking now. There are therapies and medications that will help you quit smoking. An effective way is the Nicotine Replacement Therapy which helps smoker stop using cigarettes to get nicotine. This therapy is safe but you need to consult a doctor before using it if you have heart attack, irregular heart beat, high blood, pregnant, or below 18.
There are many Nicotine Replacement Therapy Medications you can buy even without prescription but, again, you need to consult your doctor before trying it. These are nicotine patch, Nicotine Lozenge, Nicotine Nasal Spray, Nicotine Gum. There are also medications that are nicotine free. But you need a prescription from your doctor before you use this. Some cigarettes nowadays come up with no nicotine on them. The good this about these is that they reduce your cravings for cigarette and reduce the withdrawal symptoms as well.
Using any of these medications increases your chance to succeed in your goal to quit smoking.
Success in life…
Success in life, of course each and everyone of us would like to be successful in our careers, family, businesses, journeys, studies, actions and all our endeavors in life. but how do we really measure success? I checked Meriam Webster’s On-line dictionary for its definition of success what i got goes exactly like this… An event that accomplishes its intended purpose. Oxford On-line Dictionary defined it this way… the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.
Most people see or view success synonymous to wealth, living prosperously, filthy rich, being famous and high profile and all that (I just hope you don’t consider that your purpose in this life). If you view success in that angle of perspective, No problemo! No one says we can’t have our own definition of things in life, because I also have my own definition of success.
To me, Success is how you reached to that Mountain Top, your goal and not simply if you got there or not. It matters how you played your winning games, how you became prosperous and wealthy, how you got your latest promotion in the company where you are working for, I don’t consider winning at the lottery and becoming rich in an instant a success, rather marrying an old millionaire and wait until the end of his days and Presto! you have acquired all the man’s wealth, or earning millions in by becoming a Drug or Gambling Lord and ruin many people’s lives, whatever are your views in life, always remember that it matters to Someone up there watching you.
Signs & Symptoms of Swine Influenza
Certain swine influenza virus subtypes, however can cause extensive disease and death among some people. One very pathogenic influenza is the H1N1 strain which has been the cause of the reported swine flu outbreaks not only in Asia but to all other parts of the continent. From Mexico to US and now to the south east Asia??! How fearful right?? Just imagine your country infected with this disease you as the residence of your country living a peaceful life then all of a sudden was infected of the H1N1 virus?
I am also afraid of having this virus that’s why me, myself and I find a way to detect if the person sitting beside me, walking towards in front of me, the person I am talking with was a carrier of this virus. I came to a conclusion that the best thing is for us to know the signs and symptoms of this disease
That’s why it is important for us who are not yet infected by the said virus to know the signs and symptoms of swine flu.
Here are some of the signs and symptoms of the said flu..
- cough
- sore throat
- body aches
- head aches
- chills and
- fatigue
- diarrhea
- vomiting
If you will notice, the signs and the symptoms of the H1N1 virus (swine flu) to the people are just like of other ordinary influenzas. So that we must have that strong power of observation to know if the people around us have the most dreadful virus nowadays called H1N1 virus
Climate Change and Global Warming…
Global Warming has one solid proof of evidence nowadays… Climate Change. Climate change is undeniably obvious. In some parts of Asia, people were surprised of the early arrival of storms when it is supposed to be extremely hot like in its last few years. China, Taiwan and Philippines are now experiencing storms and heavy rains. Climate change is just an effect of Global warming which is also caused by strong concentration of Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Human actions have effects on the level of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, which has other effects upon the system, Common greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons.
Future effects of Climate Change
- Food and water shortages
- Sea level rise and coastal inundation
- Increased coastal and inland storm damage
- Increase in regional flooding and droughts
- Large increase in species extinction
- Movement of disease-carrying insects into currently unaffected areas
When will we ever start implementing global warming solutions? By the time you’ll be able to observe the global warming effects for yourself, it might be too late for us to avoid disaster. Let’s not forget that greenhouse gases stay up in the atmosphere for a long time, and fighting this problem is more likely trying to stop a huge cargo ship—even after you stop the engines, it would take quite a while to make the ship stop. If we don’t take significant actions within this decade, the harmful effects of climate change might become seriously unpreventable.
