this war ain't about health

5/30/2012

Picture
I read this quote from Zoe Saldana this morning and had to commit it to an image. The line was arresting mostly because the proponents of the War on Obesity argue that this war is about health. The line starts with her speaking about her body as an “it” and then shifts from third person (“I’m over depriving it”) to first person (“because I want to look good”) by the end of the sentence. This line, to me, exemplifies the bifurcated way we’re meant to treat our bodies. As if the body and the self are two different things.

University life is not that easy and many students pursuing their individual scholastic disciplines can attest to that. Though life as a student in the university is one of the apexes of one's experiences, it cannot be concluded that it is far one of the easiest ever. Just the same with other university academic disciplines, nursing is also among the hardest course that one can ever take.

To get beautiful skin, healthy, smooth and youthful, care needs to be done routinely and regularly. Occasional treatment in the salon or remembered, or if you have time, will not get maximum results. Here's a simple daily body care at night.

It takes guts to seek out a drug addiction treatment program. You aren't sure how people will react or if you'll be able to get the help you need. Reaching out to make your life and the lives of your family better is the biggest step you'll take in recovery. It starts you on the road to being happy and healthy.

The technology behind the penis pump is that it draws blood to the organ through suction, helping it to become engorged. It works well until after the blood goes back to the circulation and the penis also goes back to its natural size. With this idea alone, you can already conclude that this is not the best penis enlargement method. There are other things incorporated to the pump though to make it work better.

In the US, reading the statistics of Americans without their health insurance is startling. According to Huffington Post, this 2012, almost 50 million Americans are living without health plans. This is different from years ago. And why does this happen? This is because there are lots of Americans today that don't have jobs or cannot find stable jobs that can let them have the luxury of paying for their health plans. In some families, paying for their home rent is even a problem. So, is it still possible to secure health insurance for low income families and individuals while in the midst of the crisis? Yes, it is still possible according to experts. We only need to know where to find it.

What is Keto? The Keto diet involves going long spells on extremely low (no higher than 30g per day) to almost zero g per day of carbs and increasing your fats to a really high level (to the point where they may make up as much as 65% of your daily macronutrients intake.)

Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhea. Symptoms of gonorrhea typically emerge two to five days after infection, though, in men, symptoms may take a month to come out. Several people do not experience symptoms; they may be entirely unconscious that they have acquired the infection, and so never ask for treatment.
