Your hands grow cold and sweaty and drops of sweat come trickling down from the corners of your forehead. It's time to walk up the stage. So, you somehow do, but your feet, as heavy as a rock, prevent you from getting on the stage. The spotlight pans in on you. And bang!! You are at a complete loss of words and in no control of the situation. This is a typical 'gripped by anxiety' situation. We have all been there and done that. As children, and as first timers, for a lot of things, anxiety is normal. But when this situation becomes recurrent and the anxiety symptoms take over day to day activities in a child's life, it has to be dealt with proper help. Let's understand what are high anxiety symptoms in children, so that you are well prepared in case of doubt.

Is Your Job Making You Sick?

that stress

So a lot of us have been sick of our jobs before. But a new study is saying that many of us are sick in our jobs.


This gist is that lots of employees are feeling stressed--and unhealthier because of it. The research says that one in three workers has at least one symptom of clinical depression; 14 percent is being treated for high cholesterol; 20 percent is taking blood-pressure medication; 41 percent is stressed by work; and one in five workers has trouble sleeping. And, overall, the number of employees who say they're in "excellent health" has dropped from 34 percent in 2002 to 28 percent in 2008.

Health Problems Associated With High Cholesterol

Health problems associated with high cholesterol can range from poor blood circulation to serious and life-threatening diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.


High cholesterol may occur from overeating on a poor diet such as high fatty foods, and not enough fibrous foods, as wells as from a lack of exercise. The health problems associated with high cholesterol are numerous, and here is a short list of a few of those health problems...


Poor Circulation


Cholesterol locks onto the walls of the arteries and blood vessels, which slows down and sometimes even blocks the flow of blood completely. A healthy blood flow is necessary in order to eliminate toxins from the body, to keep the body warm as well as to distribute nutrients to all the cells in the body. Thus the whole body can suffer when not enough blood supply reaches the cells.

Did This Popular Yogurt Make Phony Health Claims?

health claims

A certain popular yogurt is in the headlines--and the naughty seat from the FDA--for reportedly making phony health claims. Do you eat this stuff?


The issue is not that Dannon's Activia Yogurt (you know, the brand that Jamie Lee Curtis advertises) is unsafe or bad in any way, it's that the FDA had taken issue with health claims the company makes about it.


health claims

The sticking point? While studies have shown "modest benefit" for digestion, most researchers note that three servings of yogurt are needed to get the effect, and Dannon claimed that a single serving would help with regularity. For that, the company is now forced to pay $21 million in 39 states--wowza!

Physical Features of China

alluvial plains

China is one of the oldest surviving world civilizations. The physical features of the terrain comprises states with distinct cultures that date back to more than six millennia. China is home not only to the world's oldest written language system, but also major socially enriching inventions such as that of paper, gunpowder, the compass and printing...

China


The People's Republic of China, as we know it today, is the product of an ancient civilization abounding with a rich cultural and multinational identity. The nation spans across East Asia and is today divided into the People's Republic of China or communist China and the Republic of China or nationalist China or Taiwan. When the reference is made to 'China', it is the former that is commonly understood. The physical characteristics of China highlight a cultural sphere that is as diverse in religion and customs and traditions, as it is in terrain. The nation provides proof of inhabitation that dates back to approximately 300,000 years ago. It used to be home to the Peking Man, who historians credit with being the first to use and control fire.

Health Problems Commonly Found in Older Dogs

digestive system

Just as it is the case with human beings, the older a dog gets, the more prone they become to a variety of health conditions and problems that are associated with the aging process. The following content presents some of the issues that you can be faced with as the owner of an aging or older dog.


One of the more common maladies is bad breath, which results when the dog's digestive system has become constipated.

If a dog has been subjected to a diet consisting of dead and/or refined foods, and has not been fed fiber or live, raw food, the problem will oftentimes result.

Health Problems Associated With Eating Too Much Fast Food

fast food

Do you remember what your parents would tell you when you balked at finishing your dinner? "There's a little boy/girl in (put poor country here) that would love to have that food to eat?" You may have also heard, "You are not leaving the table until you've eaten every bite."


I can assure you from personal experience that offering to send that last two bites to the poor kid is not going to go over very well. However, our parents were talking from an experience we have not, as yet, had to deal with much. Our parents and grandparents went through the Depression and WWII. They remember soup lines, food riots and rationing. Food was never to be wasted.

Hair Loss in Women - What Causes Female Hair Loss?

hair loss

Losing hair or watching it progressively thin is difficult for many people to accept, but for women it can be even more difficult. We are more accustomed to seeing receding hairlines or thinning hair on men, not that it is an easy condition for men either, but society is a bit more accepting of male-patterned baldness. The only time we expect to see balding in women is when they are going through specific medical treatments like chemotherapy.


Most Common Causes of Female Hair Loss


One of the main causes of hair loss in women, and men for that matter, is androgenetic alopecia, more commonly called male or female-patterned baldness. While many see this as a male problem, it affects a large number of women as well. It is the kind that runs in the family, on either side of the family.

Hair Loss in Women - Postpartum Hair Loss

hair loss

Most people have the conception that genetic hair loss like Pattern Baldness is exclusively targeted at men only. So you think that if you are a woman you are safe from this wrath of God? Think again.


Although almost 40% of men will start to face with some receding hairline by their early 20s and 30s, there are a lot of hair loss conditions that can specifically affect women. Male Pattern Baldness is caused by the accumulation of Dihydro-Testosterone (DHT) at the hair follicles, causing shrinkage and reducing the hair growth cycle. DHT is an advanced male hormone formed with another lower level male hormone, Testosterone that binds with the enzyme 5 Alpha Reductase. The combination of these two creates DHT, which are also important for male characteristics. Needless to say, DHT is also present in females, but in much small quantities.

Healthy Smoothies

your diet

Healthy smoothies allow you to take control of your diet. Treat your body to a healthy boost by blending a mix of natural ingredients and antioxidant rich fruit to fill you up while maintaining a healthy diet.


Healthy smoothies are a blend of whole foods without the added sugars and preservatives that can rob them of their nutritious qualities. The more natural your diet, the more your body will benefit.


First you need a base. Some sort of milk or juice is best. Choose the right choice depending on your needs. For example, Non fat milk is great for high protein but it has quite alot of sugar. Mixed with fruit, you may have a high calorie smoothie that doesn't encourage weight loss. Almond milk or soy milk are good alternatives that aren't as sweet. Most juices are high carb but work great for a pre-workout drink to boost energy.

Alcohol and Honesty

feel trapped

Do you drink rather than speak up for yourself? Do you find yourself turning to alcohol when you feel invalidated, rather than speaking your truth to a friend or partner?


Irene, in her late 40s, had been in an out of treatment centers for years before consulting with me. When in treatment, she was fine, with no desire to drink, but once she returned home with her husband, Frank, and two adolescent children, it didn't take long before she was back to drinking. Even though she faithfully attended AA meetings, she could not stay sober once she returned home. She loved her husband and children and could not understand why she could not stay sober at home. Each time she went back to drinking, she would hate herself for her weakness, seeing herself as a deeply flawed, defective person. She believed that the problem was entirely hers - that her family had nothing to do with it.

13 Myths About Diet Exposed

have been

We all grow up believing in certain myths that have been instilled in us by our parents, TVs, magazines and so on. Read on to have these myths exposed and to find out the real truth about our daily diets.


Some myths originated in our childhood, others were started by magazines and TV programs decades ago. So here are the top 13 myths about your diet.


1. There is little good in frozen or canned fruit and vegetables. It is astonishing, but frozen and canned fruit and vegetables can sometimes turn out to be better for you than the fresh ones since they are frozen or canned right off the field. As we all know, an immediate freezing is one of the best ways to preserve vitamins. And fresh produce has to travel a long way before it makes it to the store. In order for the vitamins to survive till the moment they get into your body we should unfreeze the produce as soon as we possibly can and cook it in water only. Canned corn, apricots and gooseberries contain no less vitamin C than their freshest version. The trick is to pick out not the ones that are canned in marinade or syrup, but rather the ones that are canned in water or their own juice without any added sugar or artificial coloring agents.
