3 Ways to Prevent Skin Infections in Summer

By -

It's a summer time, TV channels are flooded with commercials of AC, sunscreens, talc, deos and yes, the Itch Creams.
Let's talk about the recurrent skin infections people suffer due to high levels of humidity. Itch creams give immediate relief from itch. But we also know that it is a temporary solution. Another thing is that using such creams makes us increasingly dependent on medicines which, in my opinion is not a good bargain. Creams treat only effect and not the cause.
A few years back, when I suffered recurrent infections, my physician friend suggested certain easy to adopt, practically free and absolutely natural steps to completely stop recurrence of infections.
1. Before taking bath do a dry massage of your body. Give special emphasis on underarms, inner thighs and toes. These are the sensitive spots that remain moist during summer. Rubbing them thoroughly will remove dead cells and improve blood circulation to the region.
2. Use good quality cotton inner wear and after washing dry them in sunlight. It will help kill germs that cause infections.
3. Remove socks and other tight clothing and put on something comfortable when at home.
Just follow these simple techniques and see the difference yourself!

You probably know many people who took a weight loss resolution. They get on the band wagon of strict dieting, strenuous work out schedules, sauna baths and what not. These people literally kill them selves in order to loose weight. The cumulative list of restriction can be summarized as fallows: I will get up at 5 in the morning and go for walk/jog, work out at home/gym or do yoga etc. I will stop eating sweets. No to oily food and other fats.(30% of body composition is fat. Can you imagine body without fats?) I will go on 'No Carb' Diet I will stop drinking. I will eat only raw fruits and veggies. I will use sugar free sweeteners.(anything for Bips) I will not eat at parties.(Why go to parties at all?) What goes Wrong? First, your body is accustomed to a set of lifestyle, so when you make some changes it challenges your body. It is in human psyche to resist any change that comes its way. It becomes painful to sustain that change beca

People who have any family history of diabetes will be able to do their bit in preventing this disease. We know that in Type 2 Diabetes: Body produces insulin Cells do not respond to insulin As a result glucose remains in the blood affecting other vital organs So there are two things that must be done in order to stop this Now the so called experts will accuse me of over simplifying the things here.

The Right Sleeping Pattern

Why different people have different sleeping habits? Our bodies are designed in a way that requires intervals of rest after many activities that we undertake during the day. No wonder a good night's sleep is so important. There are many people who say that you need to go to bed at a particular time and wake up at certain times only. Often they recommend early rising which not best suited to most people. One book suggested rising at 5 in the morning.  These are the general perceptions about the sleeping habits and I have personaly experienced that such generalized approach doesn't hold true for a long. I decided to follow this suggestion. All was well for couple of days but soon I lost my patience and got back to my usual habit. Many people talk about habit. They are right but there is something more important than the habit itself -Your Sleeping Pattern. All of us have different biochemical clocks. What works well for some body, need not work for you. If you find out
