Can't Stop Smoking, Start Drinking Tea...

Let me start off by saying, that this is not an article about how to stop smoking. In a way, it is quite the opposite. Whether it is a pipe, cigar, or cigarettes, some of us have found that we are smokers. Maybe you have attempted to quit, and maybe you haven't cared enough to try. Either way, the truth remains, "I am a smoker." If this sounds familiar, then you I write this for you.

It came to me one afternoon, when I was trying to fight off a sore throat, and I held my pipe in my left hand, and searched for my lighter with my right... I shouldn't be doing this. I have had this sore throat for a week, and I can't stop smoking.

Well, the truth was the truth, and I really didn't have intentions of stopping... Slowing down, yes; stopping, no. Though this moment was quick, it was important, as it was then that I accepted my fait. And more importantly, was now able to balance the scales.

Smoking makes you look old, smoking causes cancer, smoking smells, smoking makes your teeth yellow, and a million other STOP SMOKING ads rushed through my head...

I accepted them all...

Ok, now what... Well, I began to think. With a sore throat nagging me at the moment, I decided to attack this enemy first. Mouth wash, medicine, vitamins; I found these were all good ideas. But although I was helping the issue, my throat still hurt, and I was beginning to cough.

Perhaps the coughing was a blessing in disguise as I reached for cup of tea to help stop a fit of coughs. The steam helped me breathe, and the hot water cleared my throat. If nothing else, this experience got me thinking.

I looked further into the matter, as I of course stepped up my tea intake.

I found out that drinking tea, Rooibos Tea and Jasmine Green Tea in particular, will help me to relax (calming down my nerves), contain large amounts of anti oxidants to fight against the increased level of free radicals in my body from smoking (the cause aging skin and of course, Cancer), clean my body of toxins, help me breathe, and help my previously mentioned sore throat. I looked at this list, and the STOP SMOKING ads returned...

Could it be that a pot of tea was a helpful accessory walking down this smokey path?? From personal experience, I have found that tea helps. And NO, I do not think drinking tea will protect me from all ailments, or that I will never get sick again, or I will avoid any other ill drawn fait that may await me, but with certain facts that I had to accept, I can only do my best to minimize the damage. And as I end this article with no promises, I will restate a simply written statement that proves itself time and time again, "Drinking tea is a good idea... "

Yoga for health

YOGA classical knowledge decipher the truth that the harmony of body and mind lies the secret of health. System of prevention and cure of this classic has been proven to give outstanding results, practical, painless and inexpensive way to achieve comprehensive health, emotional control, free from distress, youthful, more supple body and soft, adds energy and vitality of the body. According Svetasvatara Upanisads, the first signs of the yoga practice is a clear mind, healthy, free from the passions, face radiant, beautiful voice and a pleasant body odor.


Today Yoga became one of alternative health practices, daily and even the increasingly popular lifestyle. People are increasingly looked at yoga exercises (called asanas) in addition to other fitness exercises such as aerobics, BL, pilates and so forth. This is because exercise is beneficial for body health and mental balance has several advantages, among them using the motion is smooth and gradual so as not exhausting and cause heart strain. Normally after practicing asanas people will not feel tired but it is more energetic and fresh, because this exercise is not expending energy but instead collect energy.

Asanas are not competitive, emphasis on tranquility and balance, a positive effect not only on physical health but also mental. Despite the gentle movements, but the asanas were created to train all the muscles in the body, even muscles that are rarely driven in a sport that hard though. That way some of the muscles that contract because it is rarely driven, restored to its original function. Practice asanas seem smooth and quiet but "nonjok", targeted at specific parts of the body called lymph, with the aim to balance its performance. Proper guidance is needed in order to obtain optimum results from this exercise and minimize risks. Exercises in the classroom with the guidance of trainer is highly recommended in the practice of asanas, especially for beginners.

Practice asanas that provide optimum benefits should consist of four stages, namely heating, the main exercises (asanas), massage (self massage) and deep relaxation.

Heating is required, especially for beginners. As an important part of yoga, asanas makes the muscles strong and flexible, so prepare to perform an essential part of yoga practice, namely asanas. Warm up thoroughly. Stretch your legs, hips, spine, arms, neck, until the eye muscles.

There are hundreds of thousands of kinds of yoga poses that have been created by the yogis. Of course we do not need to master all the poses to get the benefits of yoga. Actually, if we master the poses a little, say 50-10 range, but we practice it regularly and seriously, the benefits of asanas we can still enjoy.

Massage is an ideal way to end the practice of asanas that nourish it. Massage stimulates all the nerve ending at the surface of the body, in other words merangsangseluruh nervous system. This section also harmonize the aura that surrounds our bodies. Another benefit is the massage relaxes the muscles optimally, improving blood circulation, thus preventing infections caused by injury, and also improve general health. (Approximately 10 minutes)

Many practitioners of yoga, asanas in particular, assume that relaxation is the most fun in your yoga practice. Relaxation of the whole body relaxes and calms the mind, as well as lowering blood pressure. Even for just a few minutes to relax, there has been a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate dramatically, and the reduction of stress on the heart. In yoga, we use, shavasana 'during deep relaxation. We are lying with your back flat on the floor. Place your hands naturally at your sides, palms facing up. Fingers may be slightly curved naturally. Eyes closed. Keep all parts of the body, even though the eye ball, not moving. Concentrate on breathing, in conditions of peace which is refreshing. Remain in that position for 10 minutes, or as long as you like.

Even Tears of Blood

Nosebleeds for the Gita Maharani really pour trauma. Repeatedly occurs, blood streaming from her nose holes do not stop a few days. In fact, for most people, with cotton or blockage can also betel leaf, blood was clogged in minutes. "If somebody told me cry blood, he actually experienced it," said Onny, mother Gita, at his home in the area of ​​Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, last week. We met Tempo, Gita sat flanked by her mother, and Muhammad al-Amin, his father.

Blood discharge from the eyelid Gita occurs in the beginning he entered junior high school, four years ago. At that time, two nostrils Gita has closed with cotton tampons and bandaged. But the blood from his nose to find another way out. Gita was treated at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. "That's the most difficult experience I forget," said Gita, now 16 years old.

Extra bleeding also occur when Gita experienced first menstruation at the age of 13 years, and at three times the next menstruation. Flood lumpy blood more than a week continues to occur until the Gita should be treated in hospital. In fact he had been in a coma because of this period. Gita suffered only stopped after the physician inserting fluid blood clotting (cryo) into his body.

"Based on laboratory results, doctors diagnose Gita von Willebrand disease," said Al-Amin. This disease occurs, according to Professor Djajadiman Gatot, Chief of Integrated Service Center Hemophilia RSCM, if one is lack of protein in the blood, commonly called Von factor Willebrandnama doctor from Finland (Erik von Willebrand factor) that unravel this problem in 1925.

Medical world as a disease called Von Willebrand descent, although in some cases, allegations were not always true. Gita for instance. Onny and Al-Amin admitted to not suffer from the disease.

The World Federation of Hemophilia mention the prevalence of von Willebrand factor is 1 per 1,000. Because the symptoms are very mild, many people do not know brought her this disease. Von Willebrand attack more women than men.

Because the case starting weight, every time Gita hospitalized, whether or menstrual bleeding, Al-Amin, private employees in the field deployment of Indonesian workers, have reached koceknya tens to hundreds of millions of rupiah. To prevent sweet black girl was not having periods that never finished, the doctor injects the hormone Leuprorelin acetate. Now, even though it had stopped hormone injected, said Gita, student class I SMA Negeri 71 Jakarta, "I'm not menstruating anymore."

For people with von Willebrand factor, since little too easy Gita suffered bruising and swelling if his body hit something. If he is too tired, swelling and pain in joints, such as the elbow or knee, is also often appear. To be no more severe pain, he hastened to take medicine and compress the joint traneksamat acid with ice (icepack). After the pain and swelling disappeared, Gita could move again. At school, he attended all lessons, except sports.

According Onny, since high school, Gita was no longer bleeding, while menstrual yet emerged. He hopes his son's condition is getting stronger. Because, if Gita should be hospitalized again, the costs are huge, especially without a dime of government assistance. "We hope the government can help or even free up the cost for patients with hemophilia and von Willebrand factor," said Onn
