Strengthen Your Immune System and Help it to Deal with Dengue

The dreaded Dengue Fever is on the increase in Sri Lanka and causing a lot of angst at the moment. However, I have yet to read an article that will address the need for people to strengthen their immune system to help their bodies deal with Dengue. Dengue prevention is not simply about clearing stagnant water around our homes and work places, nor is it simply about getting rid of the mosquitoes. Dengue prevention is about strengthening your immune system to allow it to fight the virus that penetrates it during a dengue invasion in the body.

Dengue fever has been said to be caused by...

Fish Oil Improves Children’s I.Q.

Fish oil has always been known to increase peripheral circulation as well as improve cognitive function in people. A recent clinical study published in May 2008 has reconfirmed this once again.

The clinical study conducted on 175 four-year-old, preschool children, randomly chosen from 11 different sites in the U.S.A., has confirmed that regular intake of fish oil (specifically its DHA component) can boost I.Q. levels in children.

The study showed that the intake of 400 mg of DHA (Docoxahexaenoic Acid) given to half of the children had caused a rise in DHA levels in their blood...

Pilates for the Heart

Someone who has a weak heart usually gets discouraged to engage in exercise or a good work-out. There is a presumption that if people exercise and work-out, it can trigger a heart attack. This is not true. This is mostly because people don’t know what their body is capable of, and more specifically how long they should be working out. A good work-out does not have to be a strenuous work-out. A strenuous work-out does not necessarily mean a good work-out. If people with a heart condition run or ride a bike, they can get pains in the chest, because it may be too stressful for them....

How to Prepare the Kids for the Flu Season

The rainy season that we are experiencing in Seoul right now also marks the cold season, especially for children. Runny nose, sneezing, and coughing are some of the signs around that confirm the presence of this problem.

Our children are our most precious possessions that need to be given a lot of TLC (tender loving care). For this season, and any other where the incidence of the cold and flu is rampant, make sure you have the Paediatric Immune Kit by Heel.

The Paediatric Immune Kit contains three remedies: Engystol, which is an immune stimulant and flu reliever; Angin-Heel...

Natural Allergy Management

“Allergies are a curse to those who suffer from them.” This was a very strong but true statement from Danielle De Natris, a naturopath and herbalist in Victoria, Australia. In a very interesting article she had written in Wellbeing magazine for their 100^th issue.
She continues by saying that sometimes allergies can be so bad that a sufferer has to change their lifestyle simply to avoid an allergic response. “Allergies prevent you from living and performing your best.” How true is that statement.

As a mother and allergy sufferer...

How to deal with cravings & maintain your diet

Craving for a treat you love while you are trying to resist it, is one of the most difficult things to do. A craving is an urge, almost a longing, to eat a particular food that you have not had for a while or that you are trying to avoid. Here are some guidelines to help you deal with your cravings and keep your diet.

Last month, when my family went on a trip back to my hometown, I found myself craving for the snacks I have not had the chance to eat for a long time. They were not exactly the healthiest snacks, but I used to have them as a child and I remembered how wonderful they tasted...

Cycling for Better Health

Cycling is one of the best forms of exercises, aside from jogging/walking and swimming that we can get into for better health. Living along the Hanggang river in Seoul, I often see groups of cyclists that train together all year round. This reminds me of the times as a child when I used to cycle with my group of friends. Back then, I used to cycle a lot, although it never dawned to me that I was exercising. As far as I was concerned, I was merely having fun with my friends.

An article I read while I was on my holiday reminded me of this exercise and reinforced...

Exercise and Arthritis

There are different explanations on the internet with regard to why arthritis has developed and become a disorder in our society. There is one that claims it is because the human body was designed to walk on all fours (theory of evolution). Regardless of which theory you choose to believe, one fact remains – as our lifestyle has changed so has our muscle structure and strength.

Our body was designed by nature to be a functioning one. It is one designed to hunt for food; build our home; or plow the field to grow food. As modernization has crept in, so did the luxuries of...
