It will make me very tense every time I get a call from an insurance agent trying to promote their products. First, they will try to tell you how many dread diseases out there and how expensive it is to treat them. Then they will sound as if you already have one or two of the diseases. Ooo… come on, if you want to sell something, please don’t use the scare tactics, where is your ethics?

I’m not against with insurance. Insurance is good and I myself have six policies. Everyone should have at least one policy especially the medical insurance. But sometimes insurance agents spoilt the name with the way they sell their products. Is there any other way to get insurance policy quotes before meeting these agents? Yes there is, like Kaiser Permanente Health Insurance. You can get Kaiser Medical policy or quotes online if you are not interested meeting any agents yet.

Last night I cut my finger while preparing my aquarium and there was so much blood flowing non-stop and I can feel the pumping feeling at my finger. I guess my heart and blood vessels are in good shape else there will be less blood.

My heart was racing when I cut my finger… I was panic and worried when I saw how deep the cut was. Out of curiosity, I search for information about blood flow and stumble with heartlibrary.com

It has many good reading about heart from Heart Anatomy, Ablation etc. And they have message for you… ‘Please forward this site to a friend or family member that might benefit from this information.’ I’m doing it right now 😀

Everyone wants to look younger. And everyone wants their skin to be as smooth as the baby skin. Cosmetics are the most sought after by these people who are very sensitive to their skin beauty. Sometimes they are willing to spend on their cosmetic more than what they are willing to spend to their family. Ladies especially, will always look for the best skin care products available.

Products that could help make the skin younger and elastic will always be the favorite like the Ethocyn which was discovered by Chantal Burnison. Through her research, she discovered a compound that could help increase the skin’s elastin content. As we age, our natural skin elasticity diminishes. With the discovery, she comes out with a skin care product line called Ethocyn which includes cleansers, masks, moisturizer cream, AM and PM eye cream, and other face and body skin products. These products will make the skin look fresh and youthful. If you are the type who care a lot about skin beauty, I’m sure the products are available near you 😀

I woke up this morning with flu… sneezing like mad cow. damm… I’ve finished my antibiotics and my flu is still here. This is the longest flu I had. I almost wanted to take leave coz I felt so weak… I just want to continue sleeping. But at the end, I went to work 😛

Anyway, yesterday we went to send over my friend’s faulty lens to Investline. The Canon EOS 400D body with the faulty 17-85mm IS USM lens will be send over to KL for warranty fix.

When I asked the tuakey-niong about the Canon EOS 40D package… she immediately said… oooo the Canon price dropped since yesterday… I ask how much dropped?… she said few hundreds… 😮 cool… So, I book for Canon EOS 40D with 18-55mm IS lens package… she said it will take two weeks to come… emm… now I have to hold my excitement for the next two weeks.

And at the same time, friend ordered the 55-250mm IS lens. If it comes together with my 40D, I will have a chance to play with it first 😆

When the heart abruptly stops beating and halting the circulation of bloods, it is called Sudden Cardiac Arrest or SCA. People who survive previous heart attack or diagnosed with some form of heart disease are at risk of SCA. SCA symptoms include sudden collapse, loss of consciousness, abnormal breathing, inability to find pulse and loss of blood pressure.

Immediate treatment of SCA is cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR to help to keep the heart and blood pumping or the use of automated external defibrillator to shock the heart and restore it to normal rhythm.

People who recover from SCA or who has potential to have SCA may receive Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator or ICD Implant. ICD is a small programmable implantable internal defibrillator device which monitor or senses the heart 24 hours a day.

If pace maker is to speed up heart rate, the ICD is working on the opposite, it slow down fast heart rate.

Mum out there, check this out… Paula Radcliffe gave birth 9 months ago or to be exact just 291 days. Today she triumphly show off her baby while waving a British flag celebrating her New York marathon victory… a 26.2 miles in just two hours and 23 minutes.

But not everyone agree with what she is doing. Some will say it is not safe, rigorous exercise before pregnancy is unsafe, rigorous sports after pregnancy is not save… bla bla bla… I guess everyone has their own opinion, but opinion is only good as what the person think, the mum has her own and final says whether she can or cannot do it… I think around my place, after 40 days, already gone to ‘sawah padi mari makan’ woo… survival first, health later… sometimes, professional advice just doesn’t make sense one… more

Of all the professions in the world, there is one profession which we always regard as woman’s profession. But it is not, it is everyone’s profession nowadays. The profession I am referring to is nursing. Nursing is a highly regarded profession. According to a poll in 2004 by Gallup Poll, nurses were voted number one among honesty and ethical standards for various professions.

If you want to learn more about nursing programs, you can check out Ohio Nursing School. It is one of the Hondros Nursing School campuses. At Hondros Nursing School, they provide excellent clinical experiences where you can acquire your Licensed Practical Nurses. Then you will work to care for the sick, injured and disabled under the direction of licensed physicians, registered nurses, dentists, optometrists, chiropractors, podiatrists and advanced practice nurses.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

Do you know that the Chinese and Japanese drink hot green tea with their meals? You seldom or never see them drinking cold water.

There is a good logical explanation about that… and it is a good one… maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this “sludge” reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and may lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks – You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

If anyone who know and shares this with others, at least one life could be saved… You could save a life!
