			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahh, sleep. That precious commodity that no one ever seems to get enough of. While most sleep problems can be solved naturally, like going to bed a little earlier (or later) or doing some pre-bedtime yoga, for some people, their insomnia is so bad that they need medication. These people usually buy Ambien or Zolpidem and get themselves back on a healthy sleep schedule.<br />
It&#8217;s not, however, healthy to use these sleep aids long-term. But when people stop using Ambien, for example, they often find that they are again left to toss and turn in bed.<br />
I&#8217;ve recently done some research about how Chinese medicine can help treat insomnia. Here are a few of the highlights:<br />
•    Insomnia is usually a symptom of a larger problem, like an imbalance or dysfunction in natural flow of energy (chi) or in the organs (heart, spleen, lungs, etc.). Treating the symptom alone without attending to the actually problem will not permanently solve the problem.<br />
•    The best way to treat insomnia and its underlying problems is to use a combination of natural herbs and acupuncture. Suan Zao Ren is one of the most popular insomnia treating herbs. This herb has been known to heal unbalanced heart and liver functions, thereby helping with the insomnia as well. For people with kidney or heart disharmony (particularly among the elderly and peri-menopausal women), the tian wang bu xin dan herbal formula is recommended. Acupuncture helps patients with insomnia who also suffer from back pain, fibromyalgia, and depression.<br />
•    Another important point: Herbs are not magical. Sometimes they need to be used not just in conjunction with acupuncture or acupressure, but in conjunction with other therapeutic practices. Speaking with a therapist is recommended for people who suffer from insomnia, as well as regular massages, particularly traditional treatments such as shiatsu, reflexology, and Thai yoga massage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we discussed in the last post, the introduction of ancient Chinese medicine has made a tremendous impact on the modern medical landscape. So now let&#8217;s turn away from erectile dysfunction to another health topic: lowering high cholesterol. You can take modern medicine to treat high cholesterol, like Tricor Generic or Zetia, you can eat right, you can lose weight, and you can exercise (all things you should definitely do if the doctor says so), but there&#8217;s another option as well: turn to Eastern medicine.</p>
<p>I recently spoke with a Chinese medical practitioner who suggested two <a href="http://www.judyfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/colesterolo-alto.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-815" title="colesterolo alto" src="http://www.judyfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/colesterolo-alto.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="108" /></a>methods for lowering high cholesterol: herbs and acupuncture.<br />
First, he said that there are certain herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine that have been proven effecting in treating high cholesterol. A Chinese medical doctor (or your local grocery store, for some) may be able to help you locate the following herbs: Shan Zha (hawthorn fruit), Da Suan (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garlic" target="_blank">garlic</a>), Mo Yao (myrrh), Monascus purpureus (red yeast rice), He Shou Wu (fleeceflower), or Jue Ming Zi (cassia seeds).<br />
(Please note, the term &#8220;herbal&#8221; invokes an association to &#8220;safe.&#8221; This is sometimes true, but sometimes very incorrect. Just because a treatment is herbal does not mean that it does not have side effects. Some truly are safe, like red yeast rice, but others, like the hawthorn fruit, should only be used under the direction of a trained traditional Chinese medical doctor.)<br />
Second, the people high blood cholesterol may benefit from the ancient practice of acupuncture. Sometimes people get high cholesterol because they smoke or don&#8217;t eat right, but sometimes the body is just off-balance, and it&#8217;s that that causes high cholesterol. For these people, routine acupuncture treatments may be exactly what they need to put their bodies back in balance and to lower high cholesterol. The acupuncturist will likely use acupuncture points in the stomach, spleen, liver, kidney, and bladder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We live in an era where doctors and other health practitioners are open minded and eager to use ancient and modern techniques to treat all sorts of diseases, including <a href="http://www.pro-medics.com/erectile-dysfunction/">erectile dysfunction</a>, high cholesterol, and insomnia. In the next few blog posts we&#8217;ll look at things you can take advantage from the ancient Chinese medical traditions to treat such conditions.</p>
<p>Today we&#8217;ll talk about Chinese medical treatments for erectile dysfunction.<br />
Before there was Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis, there were forest picked plants, roots, and herbal concoctions that were taken either orally or used as an ointment on the penis to treat ED. Yes, erectile dysfunction is as old as the mountains—men since the beginning of time have experienced impotence, and have created treatments to deal with the problem.</p>
<p>Tianxiong, a Chinese medicine, has been used for thousands of years to increase male virility and stamina in bed. Working similarly to Viagra&#8217;s Sildenafil, the Tianxiong increases the speed and quality of the blood that flows to the penis.<br />
Today, you can take advantage of these old Chinese medical secrets when you buy Red Cialis Viagra online. It&#8217;s really amazing the strides western medicine has taken to embrace the successes of ancient Chinese medicine. Just 5 or 10 years ago, western doctors would never even consider turning to ancient Chinese medicine! And today you can easily buy Tianxiong-based Red Cialis Viagra and treat symptoms of ED easily, safely, and completely naturally!</p>
<p>For generations impotent men have turned to Tiaxiong to treat erectile dysfunction, improve male and female orgasms, strengthen erections, and treat premature ejaculation. I&#8217;ve actually spoken with men recently (here in the U.S.) who heard about this ancient treatment and decided they wanted to try it for themselves. They bought Red Cialis Viagra (which contains Tiaxiong) and were astounded at how quickly it worked—and apparently it&#8217;s a lot cheaper than name brand Viagra.<br />
Who knew?!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the big five-oh is coming up. Are you panicking or getting a little nervous? Don&#8217;t! A milestone such as 50 is a great opportunity to take a look at the things you might not be so happy about your life and try and change them for the better. Are you suffering from hair loss? Do you want to lose weight? Or quit smoking? Keep reading as we tell you how!</p>
<ul>
<li>Hair loss can be a problem for both men and women, but it is much more accepted for men to be bald than women. So how can you solve this problem? Most of the hair loss medication on the market is aimed at men. The good news is that you can grow your hair to hide the problem, whereas men can&#8217;t. Speak with your hairdresser about a style to hide the thinner patches of your hair. They will probably also be able to recommend a special thickening shampoo which should help to slow the problem down.</li>
<li>Quitting smoking is not an easy thing to do. Determination and stubbornness are going to help you, as are exercise and lifestyle changes. But if you need an extra bit of help, you may want to take a look at the drugs on offer. Wellbutrin is a good option, which is one of the only anti-smoking drugs that does not contain <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine" target="_blank">nicotine</a>. Instead, it works on blocking the nicotine receptors in the brain.</li>
<li>Get healthy. Join a gym. Walk more. Change your diet. All of this is going to make you feel better, both physically and emotionally. If you want to lose weight, try some cardio coupled with a diet pill such as Xenical Generic to help you along.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t look at this birthday as something to feel bad about. Yes, you are one year older. But you are also one year wiser, and with a little help you can look ten years younger!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Childhood obesity is a growing problem in the United States. Nearly 15 percent of children are overweight, leading to spiraling medical bills and health issues later in life. How do you stop your child suffering this fate? Diet Pills are not really an option that most of us want to consider for our children, so let&#8217;s take a look at the more natural ways that you can ensure that your child has a healthy and happy lifestyle.</p>
<ul>
<li>Incorporate fruit and vegetables into your child&#8217;s diet. Replace unhealthy snacks such as chips, chocolate, and candy with fresh fruits such as apples or bananas, or vegetables. The best way to get your kid eating vegetables is to prepare them in easy to eat pieces, such as carrot sticks or baby tomatoes. This makes them as easy to eat as the chips you are trying to cut out.</li>
<li>Cut out the soda. Sugary drinks are bad for your child for so many reasons. The high sugar content is bad for their teeth, their weight, and can increase their hyperactivity levels, making it hard for them to concentrate at school and at home. Replace sodas with more healthy alternatives. The ideal drink is water, but we all know that kids aren&#8217;t going to love that idea. Try fruit shakes with dinner, and juices to send to school with them.</li>
<li>Get them up and out of the living room. Most kids come home from school and watch television or play video games. This means that they aren&#8217;t getting enough exercise which can aid obesity. Get them cycling or roller-skating. Find an after school sports club they can join. They&#8217;ll get fit and make new friends at the same time!</li>
</ul>
<p>Although it can be hard to try and get your kids to like their new healthy lifestyle, with a little bit of perseverance you can do it. And your lifestyle will probably take a turn for the better as well, especially if you go roller-skating with them!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of us associate high blood pressure with age. The older you get, the <a href="http://www.judyfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ipertensione.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-802" title="ipertensione" src="http://www.judyfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ipertensione.jpg" alt="" width="104" height="96" /></a>more likely you are to have high blood pressure. However, high blood pressure or hypertension can happen to children. If this happens to your child, don&#8217;t panic. There are many ways to ensure that your child remains healthy and happy.</p>
<p><strong>Take a look at your child&#8217;s diet.</strong> Children who are overweight are more likely to have high blood pressure. Is there a lot of fat in your child&#8217;s diet? How many fruits and vegetables do they eat a day? By cutting out fatty foods, you are not only going to lower your child&#8217;s blood pressure, but you will also make them healthier overall. Increasing fresh fruit and vegetables is also a good healthy step forward. Get your kid to snack on an apple or carrot sticks instead of chips and chocolate.</p>
<p><strong>Make sure your child gets all the exercise they need.</strong> Speak to their teachers to see what exercise is incorporated into their daily routine at school. Find ways to supplement this in the evenings. Introduce your child to a sport you think they might like. There are usually sports clubs in your area that will not only keep your child fit, but will also help them make an extra circle of friends and learn team values.</p>
<p><strong>Make sure you get your blood pressure checked as well.</strong> High blood pressure can be hereditary, so if your child has it there is a chance that you do too. Changing your kids&#8217; diet and lifestyle will no doubt have an effect on yours, but if you need extra help, there are high blood pressure medications such as Cordarone Generic or Generic Benicar that you can take. Don’t forget that by looking after your health, you will also improve the health of your entire family.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Keeping track of your cholesterol levels can be pretty tricky. Most adults over the age of 20 should get their cholesterol tested every five years, and once a year if you are at high risk of developing heart disease. If you find that you do have high cholesterol, you may need to make some lifestyle changes and start taking medication to lower your cholesterol. Popular medications for high cholesterol include Zocor, Tricor Generic, and Lipitor Generic to name a few. Speak to your doctor about which medication is right for you.<br />
Unfortunately, lowering cholesterol is not as easy as just popping a pill once a day. It requires ongoing motivation and dedication.</p>
<p><strong>Here are a few tips to help you get started:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Learn about risk factors for heart disease, and determine whether or not you are at high risk. Some risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, family history, and obesity. Knowing which risk factors you need to tackle is the first step.</li>
<li>Make a plan and end goal to lower your risk factors and create a healthy lifestyle that promotes low cholesterol.</li>
<li>Start exercising. Even if you don’t need to lose weight, staying fit is a big part of leading a healthy lifestyle.</li>
<li>Stop smoking! Smoking puts you at risk for numerous health conditions, high cholesterol and heart disease is only one of the many. There are lots of products available today to help people quit smoking. Do not feel like you need to do it alone. You can find support online and you can even buy Wellbutrin online.</li>
<li>Lose weight. If you adopt a heart healthy diet and combine it with regular exercise you will lose weight. The trick is to be honest with yourself. Don’t cheat yourself by indulging in foods that are full of fat. You deserve better than that.</li>
<li>Avoid <a href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3045790" target="_blank">saturated fats</a>. Fat is an important part of your diet. You must eat fats for your body to function optimally, but choose healthy, nutrient rich fats like olive oil, and avocado.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes you are probably feeling pretty overwhelmed. But don’t worry, once you get the hang of your new diet and absorb all of the information being thrown at you, you will feel in control and empowered knowing that you are eating right, and doing everything that you can to help in your baby’s development.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some tips to help you get started: </strong></p>
<ol>
<li>It all hangs in the balance. Carbohydrates, foods that are rich in sugars and starch, have the most impact on blood glucose levels, so always eat the same ratio of carbohydrates to proteins and fats.</li>
<li>Eat three small meals and two or three small snacks a day. Never skip meals; don’t overeat. You can keep your blood glucose levels steady by eating regularly.</li>
<li>Go for foods that are high in fiber like whole grains rather than white flour.</li>
<li>Avoid greasy, fatty, fried foods and food that are high in sugar.</li>
<li>Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water a day, at least 8 cups.</li>
<li>Speak to your doctor about multi vitamins. Be sure to get all the essential vitamins and minerals that you and your baby need.</li>
<li>Calcium is important. So eat up to 4 servings of calcium rich foods like low fat dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and certain nuts.</li>
<li>Iron levels can drop during pregnancy, and you are going to need all the energy you have for the birth and sleepless nights to come. So fill up on iron rich foods like leafy greens, lean poultry, and eggs.</li>
<li>Don’t try to lose weight. Just focus on eating healthily. Avoid diet pills like Slimmer X or all natural Acai Effect.</li>
<li>Try to vary your food choices. This is the best way to ensure that you consume all the vitamins and minerals that you and your baby need.</li>
