		<description><![CDATA[5 ESSENTIALS FOR LIFEWhen mind/body/spirit are out of balance we become ill ... dis-eased. How can we rebalance our energy and live life to the full ? The ability to really relax is of utmost importance in our quest for health as when we are calm and relaxed we are free from stress. It then becomes much easier to concentrate, focus and achieve our goals. If we liberate our natural talents and go with the flow, we will have unlimited energy. A simple path to health must be found and the 5 essentials for life will give YOU the tools necessary to completely change your life for the better.  AIRThe moment we cease to breathe, the physical body begins to decay. Breathing PURE air is therefore the basic root of existence, and as such must have prime consideration in any problem of health. Through the air we breathe we gain vital life force to promote healing. It is surprising we don't give more attention to the QUALITY of the air we breathe.  WATERMost of the planet is covered with water and the human body is 75% water, so it is easy to see how vital pure water is for life. Every living cell requires water, air and nutrients. Water acts as a solvent in the body and the purer it is, free from pollutants and chemicals, the more toxins can be let into it for removal. How pure is your water ?  NUTRITION  Today after a brief detour into science and inorganic medicines, humankind is once again being directed to the proper use of Nature's products to restore to abundant health a dis-ease ridden world. What we eat is directly related to how we think, feel and act. We ARE what we eat ! One of the secrets to recharge your energy to gradually introduce raw organic fruit and vegetables to your diet. EXERCISE Everyone should take some exercise on a daily basis as part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is a process by which the cells of the body are placed under controlled stress. This stimulates metabolic efficiency as well as to increase vigour, strength and vitality. Research at NASA states that rebounding is THE complete exercise.  SLEEP AND RELAXATION Most of us counteract the benefits of sleep and relaxation, soft mattresses, television, eating before retiring etc. If we are using energy for digestion or processing thoughts, we are not using it to repair and recharge our vital life force. Rest and relaxation CAN be gained by lying immobile without sleeping, we sleep apparently to dream. AUTHOR has a deep interest in spiritual matters, health and environmental issues and the creation of harmony between people and nature. YOU can use master strategies to achieve your success.

		<description><![CDATA[Corona, CA -- February 18, 2003 -- Even a clean home can hide dangerous secrets.  With ordinary cleaning, dust, allergens, and germs can linger in carpets, furniture, and mattresses -- leaving behind a harmful environment.  California Steamin' House Cleaning Service offers a healthy solution.Families have long struggled to keep their homes clean, but even those who rely on professional maid services may not be getting the attention they deserve.  Most homeowners and housecleaning services rely on standard vacuums to clean the floors and carpeting.  Household vacuums can remove dirt, but often leave dust and particles -- the most hazardous elements -- behind. California Steamin' relies on a specialized triple-filtered backpack vacuum.  Its unique design removes allergens and emits air that is virtually dust-free.  "Our clients include people with allergies and residences with small children and older adults living in the home?anyone who wants to live in a healthier environment," states owner Dale Stumpf.  "People should feel safe and secure in their homes, and we ensure that they do."Customized attachments allow the specialized backpack vacuum to reach extremely small crevices and tight corners.  It can also reach tall ceilings, light fixtures, ceiling fans, and other places that a standard vacuum often cannot clean.  Because it is worn rather than pushed, the backpack vacuum avoids damage that can be done when a standard vacuum cleaner runs into walls or hits furniture legs.The company's other cleaning system -- the Dry Vapor Jet-Steam System -- gently cleans and sanitizes without leaving the chemical residue associated with household cleaning products.  "Our Dry Vapor Jet-Steam System even removes most chemicals that previous cleanings have left behind, making for a cleaner, fresher, healthier environment in the home," reports Stumpf.  "It also removes dust, mites, and other particles from mattresses, safely and effectively."California Steamin' guarantees its work ? if you are not happy with any part of the service, your house cleaner will return and address the area quickly and absolutely free of charge.  California Steamin' is licensed, bonded, and insured.Specializing in Corona, Norco, and Riverside, California Steamin's service is also available outside of its immediate area.ADDITIONAL CONTACT INFORMATION:Edie & Dale StumpfCalifornia Steamin'Phone: 909.737.5311Fax: 909.737.5397www.californiasteamin.com. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an ever increasing market for the ultimate Sleep System, most people still believe that the Adjustable Bed which was originally used in Hospitals and Homes for the Elderly are still that. A bed that can help the elderly in and out of bed! Although they are extremely helpful in these situations, they can also be very important for anybody in today's lifestyle.

Now any sincere knowledgeable mattress salesman won't push the watching TV or reading in bed, it's not something that we should recommend. But with today's lifestyles, this has become a normal way of life for some people. Sitting in bed watching TV, working to make the big deadline is OK, if that's your choice. But propping up two pillows every 3 minutes is probably not doing any good to your back or any other part of your body for that matter. If this sounds like you, maybe your next mattress purchase should have an adjustable base as well.

There are many "side affects" from poor sleep and sleep habits that might also be a clue for you to check out the benefits of the adjustable bed. Some of the health issues are back problems, neck and shoulder pain, arthritis, circulatory problems, gastric reflux at night, snoring, breathing problems. Not only does an adjustable bed provide serious convenience with regards to helping people in and out of bed but there are many health benefits that can be taken advantage of for anyone.

Tossing and turning at night on their mattress is the most common reason that people don't sleep well at night. The main reason people toss and turn at night is pressure points; traditional coil and spring mattresses put pressure on different areas of your body causing restricted circulation to those areas, when your body becomes uncomfortable you turn to a new position. Another reason for tossing and turning is improper spinal alignment. All traditional mattresses are flat but our bodies are curved, the traditional mattress fails to offer the lumbar region enough support often allowing your lower back and hips to sink below the rest of your body. This causes pressure and discomfort in that area which causes your body to turn to a new position.

Adjustable sleep systems offer you several great benefits. Obviously, the adjustable base is only that, an adjustable base. To get all the benefits out of your adjustable base you need the proper mattress to work with it. Together they can create a totally pressure free environment while you sleep. Many studies have been done with the space program; the best known is the creation of memory foam. But there is more that was learned from the way astronauts sleep in space. Well our astronauts sleep in a totally pressure free environment experience all the time, floating in space. In studying the way astronauts sleep in space we have discovered a few interesting things. First off, their heads stay slightly elevated allowing for easier breathing. Secondly and probably more importantly, we see that their knees naturally bend and elevate slightly above the heart. This position takes pressure off the spine and allows for increased blood flow to the heart. 
 
Only an adjustable bed can mimic this extremely comfortable and healthy position. Keeping your body in our natural sleep position reduces the pressure on your skeletal frame more than 85% ensuring you will get the deepest most restful sleep possible.

What to Look For

An adjustable sleep system consists of two parts, the base and the mattress. 

The Base: There are really two types of adjustable beds, the commercial model used in Hospitals and regular consumer models. The commercial product is very heavy duty and usually has rails on the sides to help someone pull themselves up. These models are extremely expensive and are not very esthetically pleasing for home use, unless your health requires it. 

- Concentrate on the frame construction; you want the heavy duty construction with the look of an elegant piece of furniture. Preferably, a regular box spring appearance giving you the ability to dress it how you like it. 
- Look for quality motors at the "head and foot." Make sure they are UL Listed and CSA approved. Preferably a Freefall Design so the head and foot sections lower by gravity only, this will ensure the motor gets extended life. Also ensure that it's equipped with insulated rubber wheels for smooth, quiet operation.
- A Polarized "Modular" electrical system is the way to go as it ensures you won't have any stray wires and with the plug-in feature makes service a snap. 
- Look for at least a 50 degree incline at "both head and foot", 60 degrees is optimal. 
- Make sure the legs have threaded glides allowing you to adjust the height of the bed to your liking.
- Now depending on your preference, make sure there's the availability of a massager. I don't know about you but I like the massager, it provides that little bit extra pampering you need at the end of some days. Some brands you have no choice, either you get it and pay for it or you can't get it. Having a choice is always nice.
- Same goes for the remote, it's nice to have the choice between wired or wireless.

The Mattress: Your mattress is the single most important component of any bed, adjustable or not, even if your foundation was the corner of 4th and Main. The proper mattress should provide the proper support, pressure relief and spinal alignment even in this situation. 

- Many companies only offer coil and spring mattresses with their adjustable bases. This is not exactly the best case scenario. The coil and spring mattresses are not very pliable and don't really work well with an adjustable base and often need replacing every five years.
- There are other very luxurious choices "at a fraction of the price" that you would benefit from with use of your adjustable base. All are designed to offer you pressure relief, proper spinal alignment and a more breathable sleep surface. Air Mattress Beds work well with the adjustable base when they are equipped with horizontal chambers, the chambers follow the contour of the bed nicely. Although this works well, it's still not the optimal choice.
- Try looking at a Memory Foam or Latex mattress, these mattresses are made from highly specialized foams and are more durable and pliable than coils and springs, as a result they will work in unison with the adjustable base to provide you with the ultimate adjustable sleep experience. Not to mention your mattress will most probably last for its intended life and these foam mattresses can go for twenty years.
- The final tip is to stay away from the deal that promises, "Mattress Included" rarely does this mean your getting any quality in the mattress they're giving you. Just "FOAM" doesn't mean Memory or Latex foam; check it out to make sure.
So depending on your lifestyle or if your health dictates (I hope this isn't the case) check out all the health and convenience benefits of a quality adjustable bed, but don't forget the "quality" mattress!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chevy Chase, Maryland (ContentDesk) January 24, 2006 -- Announcing the launch of MagnificentBabies.com, a cutting edge magazine about bringing up babies. Intended to be a primary, preferred knowledge resource for parents of children aged less than 18 months, this site provides continually updated information on how to raise a healthy, intelligent, emotionally balanced infant.The website is organized into two main sections: MagnificentBaby News and MagnificentBaby Knowledge. MagnificentBaby News contains breaking news on baby care, organized into four categories for convenience: Medical News, Parenting News, Community News and All News.Sample news clip (from the Parenting News category):  "Flying internationally with an infant: what is the baby tax?":"Some friends of ours just flew with their 10-month-old daughter to Paris to visit her grandmother, and were stopped at the airline counter before boarding the plane and told they had to pay a $330 tax for the infant, who still needed to be held in arms."MagnificentBaby Knowledge contains in-depth articles on crucial subjects related to baby care.Sample excerpt from the article, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) --- Protect Your Baby Against It:In recent years, researchers pinpointed another major cause of this tragic syndrome: toxic gas from crib mattresses. These gases rise out of the mattress and form a layer on top of it, and the baby effectively lies in a shallow pool of gaseous poison.The concerned gases are derivatives of phosphine (PH3), arsine (AsH3)[4] and stibine (SbH3). They are generated when normally harmless household fungi, like scopulariopsis brevicaulis, start eating the fire retardant chemicals put into the mattress by law (these chemicals are often based on antimony, phosphorus or arsenic).Future articles in MagnificentBaby Knowledge will cover baby sign language, the pros and cons of baby vegetarianism and how to design a nursery room.All the articles in MagnificentBaby Knowledge are original, proprietary content, unique to the Internet and other media forms. Each piece is written by the staff of MagnificentBabies.com, compiled after exhaustive research and updated whenever fresh findings emerge from expert circles.Editor Lucky Balaraman has also announced plans to present interviews with noted pediatricians, child psychologists, legislators and equipment manufacturers so that visitors will have access to the latest thinking on all aspects of baby parenting.Our ultimate goal is to have millions of parents checking in every day to keep their baby caring skills current, says Balaraman.MagnificentBabies.com also cares for babies in less privilege areas of the world by linking visitors pro-bono to selected childrens charities that accept donations online.For further information, comments or suggestions regarding MagninficentBabies.com, contactLucky BalaramanEditorMagnificentBabies.comEditoratmagnificentbabies.com. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While buying a mattress most of us lay stress on the softness, the materials used in manufacturing and color of the mattress. We forget the mattress size. The length and breadth of the mattresses are different for different beds. The mattress size depends on the bed size and for every bed there are various types of mattresses.

Buying a small mattress is a big mistake and if your legs are completely not on the mattress and come out of it then you cannot sleep well. While sleeping in a bed you require enough space for movement and the mattress you choose should be very comfortable to turn and twist at night.

The measurements of some mattress are:


Queen Size Beds
 60"wide x 80" long 
152 X 203 CM

Twin Size Beds
 39" wide x 75" long 
99 X 191 CM
 
Long Twin Size Beds
 39" wide x 80" long 
99 X 203 CM
 
California King Size Beds
 72" wide x 84" long 
183 X 214 CM

Full Size or Double Beds
 54" wide x 75" long
137 X 191 CM 
 
 
King Size Beds

		<description><![CDATA[Asthma is a condition where due to certain stimuli a person experiences narrowing of air passages and difficulty in breathing. Treatment for asthma should be done under the guidance of a doctor and should be planned carefully. The key lies in recognizing the causes and managing the condition such that you are in control of the situation.

Treatments include:

1.	Preventive action where you avoid situations that triggers off symptoms.

2.	Practice meditation and breathing exercises to strengthen the air passages and lungs.

3.	Exercise regularly to keep fit and to strengthen your heart as well as lungs.

4.	Use air conditioning this will reduce your exposure to air born pollen and other triggers.

5.	Keep your environment free of dust mites, pet dander, fur and feathers by regularly vacuuming and decontaminating your mattresses, pillows, sofas, throws, carpets, as well as curtains and covers.

6.	Use inhalers which are of three types: aerosol inhalers; breath-actuated inhalers; and dry powder inhalers. These contain medication in aerosol form to provide immediate relief.

7.	Drugs like short acting beta agonist namely salbutamol and terbutaline are first prescribed. The alternative medications are long acting beta2 agnostics like salmeterol or formoterol or antimuscarinics like ipratropium or oxitropium. In layman terms asthma medication is of two kinds anti-inflammatory medicines and bronchodilators. Common medicines are Albuterol, Altrovent, Pulmocort Respules.

8.	Combination therapies where a steroid along with long acting medication are prescribed. Alternately, a combination of antimuscarinic and short acting beta 2 agnostic is used.  

9.	Use of special equipments like a peak flow meter which will warn you of an impeding attack and an inhaler spacer which will ensure efficient disbursement of medication.

10.	Allergen Immunotherapy where the patient is desensitized to asthma causing allergens like smoke, weed, grass, pollen, dust, mold and so on. Similarly the patient is tested for food allergies that trigger off attacks and treated for them.

Research indicates that the best option for patients is to maintain a dairy and record when and why attacks occur. This will give a clear understanding of triggers. Then the next step is to create an asthma management plan with the help of your doctor. To strengthen the mind and spirit patients are often asked to join therapy groups that talk about fears, problems faced by asthmatics,   personal experiences, and work together at breathing exercises and other regimens to strengthen their bodies.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Air mattress beds are no longer considered temporary sleep solutions.  These days, air mattress beds are becoming luxurious high-tech alternatives to the traditional and occasionally painful metal spring mattresses that most people currently sleep on.  If you're having trouble sleeping, an air mattress bed is definitely an option you may want to consider.

Air mattress beds have the ability to mold to the exact shape of the sleeper's body, giving support where it's needed most.  This unique ability eliminates the strain on pressure points that often occurs while sleeping on a coil spring mattress.  This can ultimately interfere with the natural alignment of your spine.  A mattress that is too hard won't allow for the natural curvature of your spine, while one too soft will allow for abnormal bends in your back.  Either way, it spells long-term aches and pains for you without the proper support.  Not only that ? as time goes by and the shape of your body changes, you may need a different level of firmness.  With air mattress beds, you don't have to worry about going out and buying a brand new mattress (which can be very expensive).  You can simply adjust the level of air to fit your new needs.

There are other advantages to sleeping on air mattress beds.  If you're an allergy sufferer, you would be pleased to know that air mattress beds are known to relieve certain allergies.  The inner springs on traditional coil mattresses are breeding grounds for dust mites, a major contributor to several allergies.  However, air mattress beds are typically constructed out of hypoallergenic materials that are naturally dust mite resistant.

It is easy to find the perfect mattress for you, no matter what comfort level you need.  In fact, air mattress beds can be the perfect beds for absolutely anyone, no matter what their needs may be!. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you enjoy the outdoors? Do you love pets? What if you had to choose between these things and your ability to breathe?

Unfortunately, for many asthma sufferers, that choice is one they make every day. Asthma affects millions of Americans, many of them children. Asthma is a serious condition that restricts airways and causes breathing difficulties which result in approximately 5,000 deaths annually.

So, how can asthma sufferers do the things they love without suffering? Knowing asthma triggers and how to manage them are the first steps to a fuller, happier life.

Here are a few asthma triggers and ways to manage them, as recommended by the Consumer Federation of America:

* Secondhand smoke. Tobacco smoke, whether exhaled by a smoker or emitted from the end of a burning tobacco product, irritates air passageways.

To keep secondhand smoke from triggering an asthma attack, asthmatics should politely ask friends and guests in their home to refrain from smoking.

Parents with asthmatic children should prohibit smoking in their homes and automobiles.

* Dust mites. These microscopic animals are in every home. They survive on skin flakes and usually live in mattresses, pillows, carpets, upholstered furniture, bedcovers, clothes, stuffed toys and other fabric-covered items.

To keep dust mites at bay, wash sheets, bedcovers and blankets at least once a week in hot water; cover mattresses and pillows in dust-proof covers and maintain low indoor humidity.

* Pets. To keep pets around and avoid asthma problems, pets should be kept out of bedrooms and any other areas where people sleep. They should also be kept away from fabric-covered surfaces, which can collect hair.

* Mold. Mold can grow on wood, paper, carpet and foods. Mold can best be controlled by controlling moisture in your home. To do so, fix leaks in pipes and make sure moisture-filled areas, like kitchens and bathrooms, are well ventilated.

* Cockroaches. Droppings or body parts of cockroaches can be asthma triggers. To manage them, free your home of places for them to hide and be sure not to leave out food or garbage.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Do you enjoy the outdoors? Do you love pets? What if you had to choose between these things and your ability to breathe?<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, for many asthma sufferers, that choice is one they make every day. Asthma affects millions of Americans, many of them children. Asthma is a serious condition that restricts airways and causes breathing difficulties which result in approximately 5,000 deaths annually.<br />
<br />
So, how can asthma sufferers do the things they love without suffering? Knowing asthma triggers and how to manage them are the first steps to a fuller, happier life.<br />
<br />
Here are a few asthma triggers and ways to manage them, as recommended by the Consumer Federation of America:<br />
<br />
* Secondhand smoke. Tobacco smoke, whether exhaled by a smoker or emitted from the end of a burning tobacco product, irritates air passageways.<br />
<br />
To keep secondhand smoke from triggering an asthma attack, asthmatics should politely ask friends and guests in their home to refrain from smoking.<br />
<br />
Parents with asthmatic children should prohibit smoking in their homes and automobiles.<br />
<br />
* Dust mites. These microscopic animals are in every home. </P><P>They survive on skin flakes and usually live in mattresses, pillows, carpets, upholstered furniture, bedcovers, clothes, stuffed toys and other fabric-covered items.<br />
<br />
To keep dust mites at bay, wash sheets, bedcovers and blankets at least once a week in hot water; cover mattresses and pillows in dust-proof covers and maintain low indoor humidity.<br />
<br />
* Pets. To keep pets around and avoid asthma problems, pets should be kept out of bedrooms and any other areas where people sleep. They should also be kept away from fabric-covered surfaces, which can collect hair.<br />
