================== ARTICLE START ==================
Yoga is a great way to get a workout that will combine body and
mind for maximum health and fitness. Yoga can bring relaxation
and focus to the mind, while offering increased flexibility and
muscle tone to the body. If you are considering adding yoga to
your workout program, there are a number of different types of
yoga exercises that you can try.

For best results, you will want to combine a variety of yoga
exercises that will offer benefit to all of the areas of the
body in a single workout. You can do this by understanding what
the different categories of yoga exercises are, and how to
combine them for the most beneficial yoga workout.

Warm-up and Cool Down

Some of the first yoga exercises that you will need to learn
are those that warm up the body to prepare it for the workout to
follow. It is never a good idea to dive into any type of
exercise program without properly preparing the joints, muscles
and cardiovascular system of the body for what is to come. In
yoga, your warm up exercises will vary based on the type of yoga
workout that you will be doing.

There are plenty of good references to find warm up yoga
exercises, but the best way is to begin working with a yoga
instructor. It is also important to learn the yoga exercises
that will help your body to cool down and recover after a
workout.

Poses and Positions

There are a number of different types of poses that you can
perform as part of your yoga workout. These include positions
that are completed while standing, sitting on a mat, or lying on
your back facing upwards. The yoga exercises that are done on
your back are usually referred to as supine poses.

All of these different types of poses and yoga exercises are
done to work various areas of the body, and are best when done
in a combination that you learn from an instructor,
instructional DVD or a book. Again, it is always best to begin
with an instructor who can evaluate your yoga exercises to
ensure that you are performing them properly.

Yoga is a wonderful way to bring health and fitness to the mind
as well as the body. Yoga will not only tone your muscles and
enhance your flexibility; it will bring good health to your
internal glands and organs as well. With a good combination of
yoga exercises in your workout routine, you will be on your way
to increased strength and flexibility. Enjoy those benefits!

================== ARTICLE START ==================
Due to modern technology, we can now access information from
around the world, twenty four hours a day. At any given time, we
can contact friends and family wherever they happen to be and
keep up with trends and ideas from all parts of the globe.

There is a downside, if we allow it to happen, and that is what
we call information overload. I say if, because it really is up
to the individual to decide how much information they need and
what they want to do with it.

A major part of information overload is the fact that people
stress about too many things that they have no control over.
Take climate change or terrorism for instance, people are
worried and frightened, taken to extreme this sort of stress can
seriously damage the health.

So how can we overcome this problem on a personal level? The
key is being able to filter information, retaining only that
which is of a concern or interest to us. Just because
information is available, it doesn't mean you have to take it
all on board.

You also need to be very honest with yourself about how certain
information affects you and what you are prepared to do about
it. If you're upsetting your self about the starving children in
Africa, but you are not doing anything about it, then it is a
lose - lose situation. You're not doing your health any good,
and the starving children don't benefit from your stress levels.
This may sound brutal, but the fact is you must make a decision.
Are you going to do something constructive, or are you going to
file the information and stop worrying?

Not doing anything doesn't mean you don't have a social
conscience or that you are uncaring. It simply means there is a
situation that has nothing to do with you at this time.

Learn to manage your intake of information so that you've got
some control over what you want to hear. For instance, I only
listen to the news once a day, I watch a 30 minute news program
on TV in the evenings, and that tells me pretty much all I want
to know. If there is something that interests me, I will follow
through on it, but generally, the headlines are enough for me.

The media have brainwashed us into believing that we have to
know everything, and that we should also be the first to know,
this simply isn't necessary. The only time you need to know is
when information affects you or the circumstances around you. If
you're travelling on the highway and an accident up ahead means
delays, then information pertaining to it affects you. It may be
possible to change your route or make alternative plans.

Filtering information means you sort the information in order
of importance. This also means you are best able to retain the
facts you need. When you allow your mind to accept all of the
information that comes in, you clog up the system. Imagine if
you allowed your desk to overflow with paperwork, bills and
files all mixed up with junk mail. How hard does that make it to
find a telephone number that's buried somewhere in the pile?

Get into the habit of discarding information that isn't
relevant. This means you're not causing yourself unnecessary
worry. It might be difficult at first but you can train yourself
to do it with practice. It is also a good idea not to soak up
too much negative information, especially if you're prone to
anxiety and stress over certain subjects.

Turn the information age into a positive thing by making it
work for you. Take the best of it to enrich your life and learn
to be in control, so that you don't get information overload.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
Developing a great body through bodybuilding is a hard-earned
prize for people who have worked so hard for it. Being under
intense training and discipline for some time before getting a
good development of physique is such an overwhelming experience
for the bodybuilder in all types of aspects.

But one of the main factors, which, makes it possible for any
bodybuilder to finish an entire span of bodybuilding training is
discipline. Great and strict discipline may come too strong
especially for the newbies of a bodybuilding program. But it
does pay off in the end. After a great deal of hardships and
pure discipline, many bodybuilders never regret for having been
disciplined the way they did.

When it comes to food, there are cravings than any man or woman
can never say "no" to. It's a pure temptation of the highest
level but since bodybuilding and sweets doesn't go well
together, one just has to choose one of the two.

One thing you can try to avoid craving for sweets altogether is
to pack up full on vegetables on every meal. It's your choice
how you are going to divide your intake of the vegetables, just
make sure that you have enough for a day. The reason why
vegetables is considered a good alternative to sweets is because
it doesn't add fats or excessive fats to your body and it makes
you feel like you've had a full meal already. Craving for other
foods such as sweets is unnecessary.

On the other hand, if you are a chocolate addict and you really
want to include something chocolaty to your diet, lucky you, a
protein pudding is a good substitute. This substitute though is
a protein pudding. One scoop of this chocolate flavored protein
mixed in water and flax oil will make you feel like you have had
enough chocolate for the day.

Make sure that you also drink plenty of water throughout the
day but also control dehydration. It will make you feel full as
well covering those unnecessary cravings your body asks.

These simple but important reminders are really helpful for a
bodybuilder aspirant but it really depends to the willing
person.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
Recent statistics show that almost every building built before
1980 is most likely to be made of asbestos related products.
According to the TUC, all public buildings and schools built
between 1960 and 1980 most probably have asbestos in walls,
boilers, and even hot pipes. Properties built since the
mid-1980's are unlikely to contain asbestos in the fabric of the
building and properties built since 1990 are extremely unlikely
to contain asbestos anywhere in the building.

Asbestos has previously been used in UK buildings for
fireproofing, insulation, reinforcement and condensation
protection. The Advisory Committee on Asbestos has released a
report which states that the UK is most affected by the use of
white asbestos by the name of Chrysotile. The Chrysotile
imported by the UK in 1976 was utilized 40% by cement building
products, 22% by reinforced and filler cements and 12% by floors
and tiles.

Asbestos based items and products are no longer approved by the
UK government or any other government in the world since
research has highlighted its harmful effects on human health.
These products are known to emit asbestos fibres which are the
cause of many diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung
cancer and other diseases. These fibres are so small that they
are invisible to the human eye, with some fibres being up to
seven hundred times smaller than a human hair. When these
asbestos fibres are released from the building material or
product and become airborne into the air we breathe, they often
stay suspended there for hours or even days.

We are all exposed to low levels of asbestos in the air we
breathe. This is generally higher in cities and industrial
areas. Employees in industries that mine, produce or use
asbestos products and people living near these industries may be
exposed to high levels of asbestos in the air.

Asbestos fibres may be released into the air by the disturbance
of asbestos based material during product use, demolition work,
building or home maintenance, repair, and remodeling. Asbestos
exposure may also occur when asbestos based materials are
disturbed in some way as to release particles and fibres into
the air. This disturbance could include product use, demolition
work, building or home maintenance.

Asbestos is not always an immediate hazard. In fact, if
asbestos can be maintained in good condition, it is recommended
that it be left alone and periodic surveillance performed to
monitor it's condition. It is only when asbestos containing
materials are disturbed or the materials become damaged in such
a manner that fibres are released, that it becomes a hazard.

When asbestos fibres are originally inhaled, they may become
trapped in the lungs. Over time, the body tries to dissolve
theses fibres. Unfortunately due to the nature of asbestos, the
body does little to damage the fibre, but instead damages the
surrounding tissue. Eventually, this damage may become so severe
that the lungs cannot function.

Although the use of asbestos has been banned for many years
now, asbestos related deaths still occur for up to 40 years
after exposure. The symptoms of asbestos related diseases,
unfortunately, do not become apparent until it is too late.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
Of the three macronutrients, protein is the most important for
health and achieving the body you want. The bottom line is that
protein is the ONLY nutrient out of the three that restores and
repairs every single cell in your body. Now, every day your body
with its trillions of cells is constantly being broken down and
being rebuilt. In fact every 7 years you are literally a
completely new person – there is not one cell in your body that
was there 7 years ago. To stay alive we need enough protein to
grow new cells to replace the old ones. It's that simple.

With our hectic modern lives, the breakdown is even greater and
so to stay healthy we need to make sure we are getting enough
each and every day. Individual requirements will vary however a
good minimum is anywhere from 1.5-3 grams per kilo of bodyweight
when you are exercising depending on your specific goals and
needs. This amount is necessary because as you exercise you
breakdown a great deal of protein in the body to train it to
adapt and grow new muscle that will fire up your metabolism and
help you burn more body fat.

Now when we talk about quality protein sources you can always
look to red meat...but not just any red meat, more to the point,
quality organic red meat.

One of the most compelling reasons to eat only organic meat is
the massive use of anti-biotics in the stock feed of mass
commercially produced meats. In the United Sates Almost 17.9
million pounds of anti-biotics was added to stock feed of farm
animals in an attempt to prevent the diseases caused by mass
farming as well as a growth promoter to fatten the stock more
quickly.

Considering most dosages of anti-biotics if you are unlucky
enough to need them once or twice a year are measured in
milligrams (1/1000th of a gram), anti-biotics in livestock feed
create a massive overdose of 27g of anti-biotics per year for
every man woman and child. This means that as a population, our
natural resistance to disease is being steadily eroded. The
situation in Australia is little better with approximately 20g
of anti-biotics from stock feed ingested per person each year.

Once you have converted to organic meat there is no going back
as it is far more carefully produced in smaller batches and the
superior quality and taste is self-evident.

Eating meat can make you feel heavy at times but after eating
organic meats you will probably find yourself feeling energised,
as you should after having a good quality dose of protein. Game
meats such as buffalo, bison, venison, kangaroo and ostrich are
an excellent source of clean chemical free protein. They is also
very low in fat, taste great and can be very good value for
money. In larger pieces game meats with their lower fat content
need to be cooked fairly rare, but if you prefer well done,
slice thinly and use in stirfrys.

Your protein intake may be supplemented by good quality protein
powders, which are particularly good before and after training
due to their quick absorption, and convenience.

efforts at diet and exercise have not gotten rid of stubborn
fatty bulges, and the loose skin from multiple pregnancies or
weight loss simply hangs and hangs. For a smoother and shapelier
torso your remaining option is the tummy tuck, also know as
abdominoplasty.

With a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed surgically
from the abdominal region and the underlying muscles are
tightened to create a slimmer and smoother contour. The
procedure also better defines the waist. This plastic surgery
procedure is a major surgery and does require some recovery.
Like any plastic surgery, not everyone is a candidate, but if
you are considering a tummy tuck, consider these facts about
this common cosmetic procedure.

Your physical condition determines whether you are a suitable
candidate for a tummy tuck. Ideally, men or women who are in
reasonably good physical condition make the best candidates for
the removal of excess fat bulges and loose skin, especially if
they have already tried to get rid of it with diet and exercise.


If your excess skin and fat is mostly concentrated below the
belly button, you may be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck. In
this procedure, there is a shorter incision and the belly button
is not moved. There is also a shorter recovery from a mini tummy
tuck than from a standard or full tummy tuck.

Because a tummy tuck is a surgery that requires a long
incision, you will be left with a scar. To reduce this negative
consequence, we place the scar in the lower abdomen that will
typically be covered by underwear and bathing suits. And, with
proper healing, the scar often becomes very faint.

Smoking interferes with recovering from surgery and increases
the risks of complications following a tummy tuck. If you are a
smoker, you will have to face quitting smoking two weeks before
your surgery and during your recovery. Permanently quitting
would certainly be best for many reasons.

You should be aware that liposuction may be used in conjunction
with your tummy tuck. Indeed, liposuction might be all that is
needed to achieve the desired result on your abdomen. Be open to
the possibility that you may only need the less invasive
procedure of liposuction. When you meet your plastic surgeon, he
or she will examine you and help determine the best option.

When you visit your Beverly Hills plastic surgeon for a
consultation about a tummy tuck, be candid about your
body-shaping goals. Your surgeon will be evaluating the skin and
fat deposits of your body along with your expectations about
results. Then, your surgeon will discuss with you what can be
realistically achieved with a tummy tuck.

The results of a tummy tuck can be very long lasting if you eat
sensibly and stay active. If you overeat and gain weight
excessively, then your skin and tissues will be forced to
stretch out into new bulges.

A final thought for you to consider about tummy tucks is that
nothing is standard with plastic surgery. Each body is unique
with its own shape and underlying physical attributes. A plastic
surgeon must assess each person individually and perform a tummy
tuck that is suited to each body. If you get a tummy tuck, it
will be the tummy tuck for your body and it will not necessarily
look like the tummy of another person who also had the
procedure.
