With so many gadgets to play with and use and with so many parties to attend who would want to sleep? With so many distractions today, people—especially the younger ones or the teenagers—are having a hard time to get better sleep. This should not be a problem but it goes to show how poor the quality of young people is today. Many of them do not perform well in school because they rarely get sleep due to all these distractions.

If you are one of those parents who are having problems that their teeners are not getting the right amount of sleep that they should have, here are some tips that you can share to them.

1. Ask them to cut out on too many caffeine intakes. If you are doing the grocery, then you should be the one who have taken out of the list the foods and drinks that contain caffeine such as coffee, chocolates, sodas and teas. But since you cannot monitor their routines outside your home, it is a must to remind them to cut out on these foods and drinks. You can do this by telling them the bad effects of caffeine not only in sleeping but in their overall health as well.

2. Tell them not to resort to alcohol as a "sleeping aid". Many adults resort to alcohol to sleep fast. Since their bodies are much older, they can tolerate the effects of alcohol but this should not be the case among the younger ones. If you are a parent, try to tell your child that although alcohol may help him or her to fall asleep, it may cause disturbances that may lead to lesser quality of sleep. Aside from not really helping them to get better sleep, it may also affect their overall health and physical appearance since alcohol may cause early aging.

3. Teach them how to relax before their bedtime. Although this is much easier to do when they are toddler, parents should still try to teach their youngsters how to relax a bit when they are about to go to sleep. You can do this by spending time with the teener and talk about how he or she should handle the everyday stress either in school or in growing up. If the child is able to talk about these things before bedtime, he or she will have a peaceful sleep without thinking of so many things. You can also ask her or him to do relaxing activities such as reading a book or practicing yoga if you are not around to talk to.

4. Ask them to have regular exercise. If regular exercise helps older people to get better sleep at night, what more to the younger ones? Explain to your child the importance of having just the right amount of exercise in getting better sleep and achieving optimum health. To make it more effective, join your teener in doing regular exercises such as light jogging or brisk walking. If he or she sees that you are "walking your talk" there is greater chances for him or her to obey you.

5. Give enough hours for television or for Internet.  For a teener to get better sleep, there should be less hours for him or her to spend watching TV programs or browsing the Internet. Since these two are major distractions, it is a must that parents restrict them with too much time on these activities so can sleep better at night.

More often than not, how to get better sleep is among the common questions that working people think about. This is because they rarely experience it because of too much stress or being too busy in their work. If you are one of those who are having problems when it comes to sleeping, here are some of the ways that can help you get better easier:

1. Develop better sleeping habits. Like everything else, developing good habits helps a person accomplish a certain task at hand. For those who are prone to not sleeping well at night, it would be best to start developing good habits that would help him or her get better sleep. Good sleeping habits might include daytime routines such as eating the right foods, exercise, and enough napping in the afternoon. Experts say that eating the right foods would help a person be lulled into sleep without so much hustle. If one wants to get better sleep, he or she must avoid eating foods that contain ingredients that stimulate the nerves and the senses such as those with caffeine content. To help the body relax, enough physical activities such as exercise should also be done at day time so it will somehow exhaust the body and let it crave for rest at night time.

Simple exercises such as brisk walking or light yoga activities are enough to help to get better sleep at night.

You can do this by coming up with a personal sleeping plan that will really work for you. You can plot the activities that you can do and try to implement them during nighttime.

4. Create a good sleeping environment for yourself. If one wants to get better sleep, the easiest way is to create a comfortable, nice, and cozy sleeping environment. If you are having trouble sleeping and you have tried all the techniques available but those did not work, why not try re-arranging your bedroom. Figure out is something inside your bedroom that hinders you from getting better sleep. Check if your bed still suits the needs of your body and if not, try replacing it. Check if there are some things that catch your attention and makes it hard for you to sleep, if there are, try removing them for a while until you are able to sleep better.

Using Yoga to Connect With Daily Life By Judy Ringer

For lots of tips and information follow: www.weightlosstips4today.com and this blog: http://yoga4meandyou.blogspot.com

Stretching to the edge of discomfort, I shift into Triangle Pose, struggling to keep breathing, hips forward, head turned up, one arm reaching for my toes, the other for the ceiling, all while trying not to over-stretch and go over my edge into pain and possible injury.

Triangle is challenging for me, as is the entire practice of yoga, and every moment presents opportunities to stay present and learn important lessons.

5 Lessons From the Yoga Mat

It seems I can't practice a physical discipline without finding applications beyond the kinesthetic. Yoga is no exception. And since I entered the world of Bikram Yoga last fall, the instructors seem to be speaking directly to my penchant for connecting physical experiences with daily life. Here are five life lessons I've learned on the yoga mat (so far!):

#1) Be a beginner.

It's been a while since I started a new practice. I began aikido 20 years ago, and it has become a part of my life in ways that are familiar and no longer intimidating. It's fun to be a beginner again.

#2) Learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable.

When I heard the instructor say this, I instantly imagined its daily applications: difficult conversations, conflict, presenting, saying no; the list goes on. When you can stay present under pressure--be comfortable with discomfort--you have a rare and priceless power.

#3) Keep breathing.

--through the difficult, the easy, the edge. An excellent centering practice is to notice when you hold your breath. You'll be surprised to learn how many times throughout the day you stop breathing. As soon as you notice, however, you can open your throat and start breathing again. This practice will make you more intentional about everything.

#4) Find your edge and explore it.

On the yoga mat, we find the edge: comfort/discomfort; breathing/not breathing; present/checked out. Is this too much/too little? How do I make that call?

Driving away from a recent class, I noticed at the periphery of my awareness a feeling of rushing to get home. I saw this as an edge. I could slip over the edge into that rushing space so easily. Instead I sat back and enjoyed the ride.

In daily life, we're often faced with choices that involve edges: react/stay present; resist/connect; tighten/relax; see limits/find alternatives. Instead of checking out, stay with that edge and explore it. You'll increase awareness, power and presence.

#5) Meet the resistance you feel in any posture with the breath.

Ah! When the instructor offered this nugget, I was all ears and imagination. There are many similarities between yoga and aikido, but this is the primary one: transform resistance.

For lots of tips and information follow: www.weightlosstips4today.com and this blog:

She was referring to our physical and mental resistance to performing the posture. But what if I meet my resistance with my breath:

• Every time I'm asked to try something outside my comfort zone?
• Whenever I'm face to face with a difficult person, conversation, or situation?
• While performing a responsibility that feels like a burden?
• Anytime I don't like what is currently happening?

Enjoy Yourself

A page on the Bikram Yoga Portsmouth Website says: "Enjoy yourself. This is a life-changing practice. It is challenging, important and serious, but can also be a lot of fun."

Life is challenging, important and serious, too. And, it can also be a lot of fun if we remember we are all beginners learning to meet each new uncomfortable edge with the power of our awareness, breath, and presence.

The Hidden Effects of Alcohol: What You Need to Know by Tom P Marshall

Alcoholism is another hot topic these days. More and more we are starting to see drinking as sort of an experience all in itself. Some people consume it every day, while some just at parties and social gatherings. There have been studies conducted among college students to help us get some sort of idea just what the scene is like and how each of us is affected by it.

For lots of tips, information on many interesting topics, follow on www.weightlosstips4today.com

The studies turned up some interesting results. Probably the most obvious was that alcohol has a different effect on men then on women. Most of us may think that this is because of the obvious reasons such as size, weight and the fact that men generally drink more than women which builds up a tolerance to alcohol. But according to doctors there are other reasons as well. These include things such as muscle mass, enzymes and hormones. All of these things which vary from women to women are overall different than their male counterparts. So when introducing alcohol into a female body it is bound to have a different result.

Because many young girls don't realize that this is the case they push themselves to keep up with their male classmates. The results of this can be very disastrous. Girls wind up in emergency rooms with alcohol poisoning or worse they end up in dangerous situations that could have been prevented had they been sober.

Too much alcohol consumed regularly by anyone though is known to produce side effects.

Expected Problems with Drinking

Alcohol is a very widespread substance in our society. Its abuse is tolerated by most people and when someone is considered a social drinker, it's usually no big deal. Because of this fact alone it is very important that we educate our younger generations and to make sure that they understand the problems and consequences which can arise from taking something as serious as alcoholism lightly.

Educating children and adults on the effects of alcohol on the body and having them realize that it is not as safe as it's been promoted to be can go a long way. Once a person understands something they are less likely to go the effect of it. Because alcohol is promoted as safe and fun and something that everybody does it can quickly get the best of a person before they even realize it.

In fact, some common health problems of people who drink on a regular basis include:

• Anemia
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Liver Failure
• High Blood Pressure
• Nerve Damage
• Pancreatitis

Common mental problems associated with drinking alcohol regularly can be:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Schizophrenia

These are issues that many don't know about.

How to Maintain a Healthy Respiratory System? By Gregory Leanza

Overview

Herbalists, for many years have recognized that our respiratory system, if unrestricted, is primarily responsible for providing us with our "Breadth of Life". A healthy and unhindered respiratory system free from pollution, bacteria and allergic reactions it allows our lungs to be filled to capacity with the essential life-giving oxygen necessary for optimum wellness. Expert herbalists are also convinced that some herbs promote a healthy respiratory system avoiding periods of imbalance.

For lots of information of lots of topics, keep in contact  www.weightlosstips4today.com

What is the Purpose of Our Respiratory System?

The primary purpose of the respiratory system is to provide our blood with enough oxygen to facilitate its delivery to all parts of our body. This is done as we breathe or through the transfer of gases when we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the process through which our respiratory system provides oxygen to the blood.

Understanding the Basics of Our Respiratory System

Once we understand the basics of our respiratory system we will be able to control and sustain its health.

In humans as well in all mammals respiration is accomplished through the use of the mouth, nose, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm in that order. The respiratory System is divided into 2 main parts.

The Upper Respiratory Tract

In the upper respiratory tract oxygen enters the nostrils of the nose, which flows into the nasal cavity. The primary tasks of the nasal passages are to filter, warm, moisten, and provide resonance during speech.

Dust and other air carrying pollutants, bacteria and allergens, as well as, extremely cold or dry air are harmful to the body. During inhalation, air entering the oropharynx passes into the laryngopharynx and empties into the larynx (voice box), which contains the vocal cords. The air then continues past the glottis (vocal chords) down into the trachea (wind pipe).

For lots of information of lots of topics, keep in contact  www.weightlosstips4today.com

The Lower Respiratory Tract

The lower Respiratory tract wind pipe leads down to the chest cavity.

In the chest cavity, the trachea splits into two smaller tubes called the bronchi. Each bronchus then divides again forming the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes leads into the lungs where they separated into numerous smaller tubes that linked to minute sacs called alveoli. The lung of the average adult has approximately 600 million spongy air-filled sacs that are surrounded by capillaries. The capillaries distribute oxygen inhaled through the capillaries into the arterial blood.

At the same time, the waste-rich blood from the veins liberates its carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide then follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale.

The diaphragm is an organ whose primary function is to pump the inhaled oxygen and the exhaled carbon dioxide into and out of the lungs. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscles that lies across the bottom of the chest cavity. When the diaphragm expands, oxygen is pulled into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, carbon dioxide is pumped out of the lungs.

For lots of information of lots of topics, keep in contact  www.weightlosstips4today.com

Restricted Respiratory System

For years herbalists have recognized that the elecampane, thyme and aniseed herbs promote regular, healthy bronchial and pulmonary airflow. The herbs elder flower and licorice enhance clear and provide for a healthy bronchial lining.

Our environment contains a mixture of bacteria, pollens, allergens, pollution, smoke, and smog that can cause to upper respiratory system distress and imbalance. Once the respiratory system becomes restricted breathing disorders develop that require your attention.

SUMMARY

Herbalists also know that healthy and unrestricted respiration, free from allergic reactions, is critical for optimal health.

GNLD's herbalist after extensive study, research and testing created Herbal Respiratory Formulas using a unique blend of herbs to support balanced respiratory function and to combat the negative impact of pollution, bacteria, and allergens:

Herbal Respiratory Formula's - To promote healthy lower respiratory tract balance

Resp-Eleven - To support healthy upper respiratory function.
