High cholesterol levels can be a sign of potential heart disease. High levels of HDL cholesterol can be a warning sign of hardening of arteries that can result in heart disease or a heart attack.
Why Is Taking A Cholesterol Test Very Important
Author: Cindy Heller
High cholesterol levels can be a sign of potential heart disease. High levels of HDL cholesterol can be a warning sign of hardening of arteries that can result in heart disease or a heart attack. Even though high cholesterol is a very serious and fatal condition, there are no symptoms to warn you if you are having high cholesterol levels.
To know your cholesterol levels you must take a cholesterol test. As high cholesterol levels can be life threatening, and coronary heart disease is a common occurrence when you have high levels of bad cholesterol you should get a cholesterol test regularly.
Cholesterol is made of two main types: HDL, or the good cholesterol which actually helps prevent heart disease and LDL or bad cholesterol which will clog your arteries and cause heart disease if present in high levels in your body. The right level of cholesterol should be 200mg/dl of LDL or less and at least a minimum of 40mg/dL of HDL or more.
Cholesterol test is done through a blood test that will tell you the levels of both types of cholesterol in your body. This test can be done at the hospital. There are also home test kits for cholesterol testing available. However, tests done in the hospital are more reliable and you should go to the hospital for your first cholesterol test.
If your cholesterol test result show that your bad cholesterol level is too high, your doctor can advise you on how to lower it. He will probably advise you to change your diet and do more exercise. If you cholesterol levels are very high or you have other medical condition like diabetes, he may prescribe you with cholesterol lowering medication. Most doctors recommend that anyone over the age of 20 should take a cholesterol test once every five years.
The Cholesterol Test Kit
Today there is a way to test your cholesterol levels without having to leave your home. A home cholesterol test kit can be purchased from any drug store. This home test kit consists of the tools required to conduct an accurate cholesterol test. With only a couple drops of your blood you will be able to tell the cholesterol levels present in your body in ten minutes time.
The home cholesterol test kit is FDA approved and is available over the counter for you to purchase and use when needed. It has a 97% accuracy rate and is very easy. The home cholesterol test kit cost about $25 for a pack of two test kits. Some cholesterol test kits are sold with only one test strip but the two tests package is more economical. Everyone who wants or needs to keep check their cholesterol level regularly without having to go to a hospital can use the handy cholesterol test kit.
Home Cholesterol Test Kit May Not Always Be Accurate
Although nowadays you can get all kinds of home kits for many medical problems, some of the results from the tests carried out by these kits may not be very accurate. However, the fault may not lie with the test kit itself, but it may lie in the way it is used. The home cholesterol test kit too seldom gives accurate results because it is usually administered wrongly.
That is the reason why doctors do not like to rely on the results of home cholesterol test. If you go for treatment for high cholesterol level, your doctor will ask you to take another test from the lab. The doctor will only proceed with treatment after they get the lab tests results.
The home cholesterol test kit may be useful if you can get your a physician to administer it for you. This is so that after the test is done, he can interpret the results for you. This is why it is better to take a lab test rather than simply buying a home cholesterol test.
Any home cholesterol test done with a home test kit should be repeated in the doctor's lab for double confirmation, so that if your cholesterol home test results are actually not accurate, you will know it before you undergo any form of cholesterol lowering treatment.
If you do prefer a home cholesterol test kit than going to the hospital for a cholesterol test, you should still consult your doctor and have the test repeated before taking any form of drugs or medications.

Orange Juice More Dangerous Than Teeth Whitening Products
New technology has allowed researchers to compare the damage caused from teeth whitening products with the damage caused by fruit juices. The results are quite surprising!
Orange Juice More Dangerous Than Teeth Whitening Products
Author: Jon Rhodes
A new study published in the Journal of Dentistry shows that in fact orange juice causes more damage to the tooth enamel than the hydrogen peroxide found in teeth whitening products. Many people shy away from using teeth whitening products because of the fear of the damage which might be caused. Researchers used a new focus-variation vertical scanning microscope that allowed them to see surface irregularities on the enamel in minute detail. They reported that the acid in orange juice decreased enamel hardness by a massive 84 percent. The damage caused by the acid in fruit juice is slow and gradual. In countries such as Morocco, many locals suffer from damaged teeth perhaps partly down to their love of drinking several fruit juice drinks a day. Over time the enamel is weakened and broken down, allowing bacteria to enter the teeth, causing tooth decay. What is reassuring to know is that teeth whitening products cause less damage than fruit juices, and we would only use teeth whitening products once every several months at most. This means that the damage done would be negligible – less than drinking one fruit juice drink every several months. One of the researchers commented that “We do not yet have an effective tool to avert the erosive effects, although there are early indications that higher levels of fluoride may help slow down the erosion.” So, brushing with fluoride based toothpastes and visiting a dentist for a fluoride treatment about once a year should help. If you do drink a lot of fruit juice, then there are several precautions that you can make to minimize damage. Drinking the juice quickly will reduce the contact of the juice with your teeth’s enamel, as will rinsing your mouth with water afterwards.

Spa Covers Going Green?
Spa Covers Going Green?
Author: Spa Covers
All this talk about going green, a big part of saving the environment is to not create more waste that will just end up clogging our land fills. Follow me on this for a minute... There are 10 million spa owners in the USA, and each one of them uses a typical rigid foam spa cover on their hot tub. For the sake of this demonstration each foam cover is only two inches thick and every spa is eight feet by eight feet. That would mean each spa cover contained about 10.666 cubic feet of foam per spa cover. For the rest of this example we will use 10.5 cubic feet per cover.
If each cover on every spa becomes saturated within two years and needs to be replaced that would mean that we would be adding 52.5 million cubic feet of waste to our landfills in just spa covers every year.
If it takes two and a half covers worth of foam to make up one cubic yard that translates to 4 million cubic yards of waste added to our land fills every two years just in spa covers.
If there are 11 million Cubic yards of stone in the Great Pyramid at Giza, we are adding enough foam to build a duplicate of it to our landfills just from used spa covers every six years conservatively. There are four and a half million cubic yards of concrete in Hoover Dam. We could build a two lane highway of discarded foam filled spa covers from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida every two years.
In case you have not noticed most foam filled spa covers are not two inches thick anymore. If all those old foam covers were four inches thick all these calculations would be double.
But we are just being conservative so we want to stick with two inches thick. If we ripped the covers in half and laid those pieces end to end we could circle the earth at the equator on used spa covers every two years.
Heck with parking lots, in a few years we could pave the entire planet with foam just from saturated foam spa covers from the USA alone.
So what is the solution? Well shop for a better spa cover. There are options available on the internet that your local spa dealer probably does not offer. You do not have to quit using your spa to save us. You just need to get a Spa Cover that does not use foam to insulate. There would be two major advantages to doing so. First the spa cover that did not use rigid foam to insulate would last longer. Since what always fails in the typical spa cover is the foam, either breaking or getting so saturated that you cannot lift it, a spa cover that did not use foam would tend to last longer.
Second, if the new type of spa cover does not use rigid foam it will also be a lot more friendly to the environment when it does come time to discard it. Less trash, less waste, less land fill, not that is what going green is all about.

Natural Skin Care using Evening Primrose Oil
Natural Skin Care using Evening Primrose Oil
Author: Laura Thomas
Most women who have ever suffered from pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) or PMT as it is often known, is well aware of evening primrose oil and how it can be used to modify their symptoms and many husbands are equally aware of its effects in this respect! However, skin care products are not often associated with this oil yet it is used by many women to keep their skin in good condition. Why is this? The main components of evening primrose oil are gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids that are used by the body in the regulation of several biochemical and hormonal processes such as regulation of the function of your heart, your mood and also the way that your body uses insulin. However, it is also an anti-inflammatory, and that is probably why it offers such a beneficial effect to your skin. Evening primrose oil can be used to treat eczema and other skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis, both orally and topically. If you use EP capsules to reduce the effects of the menopause, and also suffer from any of these conditions, try opening a capsule and rubbing it on one of the effective areas and then monitor it. You should eventually notice a difference between the treated and untreated areas. It also moisturizes your skin and keeps it soft, even when exposed to the harsh chemicals found in washing up liquids and other cleaning products. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are the classic properties needed of a substance to prevent or moderate the inflammatory of the immune system to triggers such as the damage caused by conditions such as acne, promoted mainly by the bacterial infection of the pores of the skin that have been plugged by excess sebum or skin oil You can rub in evening primrose oil to have the opposite effect and smooth and help clean the pores, and then heal any damage caused by the acne to the skin. In this way scars caused by the pustules can be minimized. When it used on inflammatory skin conditions, it soothes the burning sensation of eczema, and helps to alleviate the redness and itching of that and of acne and psoriasis. The oil has also been found effective in treating various forms of dermatitis, including some severe industrial forms of the condition. It also offers many other benefits to your skin, including rejuvenating old and dry skin, removing small wrinkles around your mouth and eyes, helping to make your skin feel silky and smooth, removing minor blemishes, helping to smooth and cure acne skin and accelerating the rejuvenation of skin affected by psoriasis. Although the raw unadulterated oil is most effective, as is that contained within the evening primrose capsules, skin care products that include evening primrose oil as an ingredient are also useful, the efficacy increasing with increasing content of the oil. The unrefined evening primrose oil is an effective moisturizer that helps your skin to look full and fresh, and an added benefit of it being used on acne and other skin conditions is that it helps to heal wounds Evening primrose oil is an effective skin cleanser and moisturizer that is preferred to any of the proprietary brands that can contain a number of harsh chemicals intended to impart certain properties to the product as opposed to your skin. It is natural skin care at its best.

In the World we live in, with the advantages of the Internet and the whole technology, we have plenty of stomach exercises to learn and look at. This is both good and bad. Good because of the variety of ab exercises we can find, but is bad because it is harder to sort out the effective from the useless ab exercises. In this article we offer you the top ab exercises as suggested by many fitness experts. If you feel overwhelmed by the quantity of stomach exercises out there, this little list of exercises provides the perfect starting point to a tight stomach. Before starting it would be helpful to consult with a professional to avoid injuries.
Crunch less Crunch
The traditional crunches work the rectus abdominus (the center section of our abdominal area) but do nothing for the equally important transverse abdominal muscles. This exercise takes charge of these muscles without neck strain. It involves trying the belly button towards your spine, and while it may sound simple, it is hard because it involves muscles we are not accustomed to work.
1. Lie on your stomach or kneel.
2. Totally relax your body and start pulling your bellybutton towards your spine. Hold.
3. Hold for ten seconds or until you don't feel the muscles, that is the goal here.
4. If you want to increase the difficulty of this abs exercise, hold for more seconds.
5. Let the contraction out.
Hip Lift
1. Lie on your back with your arms at the sides and palms facing the sky.
2. Raise your legs at a 90 degree angle while keeping your knees as straight as possible.
3. Contract your abs muscles and lift your hip off the ground. Hold for 2 seconds.
4. Slowly lower your hips back to the floor.
Long Arm Crunch
1. Lay on you back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
2. Straighten your arms, as you are reaching something over your head.
3. Contracting your abs, raise your arms, shoulders and head off the floor forming a 30 degree angle. Hold.
4. Slowly bring your body back to the starting position. Repeat for a set.
Other great exercises on the list are the Bicycle maneuver, the vertical leg crunch, twists and Pilates exercises. Most of Pilates exercises if not all of them, work your abdominal area. Whatever you choose start now, because it is a long but rewarding journey.
