Memory Enhancers - Best Tips to Improve Your Memory Instantly
To keep our minds sharper and our memory more clear is going to be the trick in staying before the ever accelerating aging population, as we move into the future. Last year the figures showed us that 7% of the planet's population is regarded old and by the year 2040 it is expected this percentage will double to 14%.
Though this in itself is shocking on a number of fronts, there's one thing that suggests itself as more significant than most others. Many of these folks will suffer some type of Alzheimer's illness or Dementia. So we can do what we need to, to cut back the hazards we have individually, we look to the introduction and frequent use of what are typically known as Memory Enhancers.
In an extraordinary twist there are methods and things that we will be able to do, which don't involve the utilization of chemicals, tablets or potions, and in contrast to some info presented to us over time, these things can in reality have great advantages for us. Let us take a couple of these now and inspect their potential.
1. Gum - Whether you accept it or not, it's an idea that gnawing everyday gum can really improve our alertness and memory. This was something determined at the conclusion of 2 critical medical studies in 2004. In these studies it was discovered that folk who chewed gum in the learning segment of a particular test, basically recalled test items much better than those who weren't gum. Without any substantiated reasons why this could be the case, it was claimed that one reason could be that chewing increases heart beat rate, which in turn increases the blood flow to the brain.
More up to date studies have not found a link to the chewing of gum as memory enhancers, but they have concluded that there's a conspicuous improvement in application.
2. Exercise - We hear this all of the time re other areas of our life. Again we deliver the same finding that exercise increases pulse rate and body strength, which in turn increases blood flow to the brain. There has additionally been a heap of research completed over recent decades that does conclude, exercise can in fact be a memory enhancer.
A current study conducted in 2008 proved that eating a reduced calorie diet was ample to improve memory, in healthy old subjects. For exercises to be considered memory enhancers try biking to work, taking the steps rather than the lift, and walking rather than driving to the store in the vehicle.
3. Caffeine - we've all heard how hard coffee can be for us, and this is also declared of other caffeinated drinks. Though there are folk who will contest many issues associated with coffee, virtually everybody will agree that there's a distinct link between coffee and application (and subsequently our memory). In reality latest research has proven that coffee (caffeine) definitely increases short term memory, as well as it protects older ladies from memory loss.
There is even fascinating debate going on about the undeniable fact that caffeine may be ready to reverse the consequences of Alzheimer's. This has been proved in mice.

Teeth Whitening Might Work To Help Quit Smoking
In this article we are not saying that teeth whitening is one of the next fads to help you quit smoking but customers who have had laser teeth whitening treatment and see the benefits of having white teeth then think twice about continuing their smoking habit.
Laser teeth whitening is undertaken in salons where clients have a gum dam applied to protect their gums and then a stain removing gel is applied before the laser light is activated. The gel then gains deep in to the enamel removing the staining and this is all done just under one hour.
Typically the teeth are lightened by 6-8 shades and the treatment can last up to 18 months depending on how and when the staining that caused the problem is then minimized otherwise the benefit is decreased.
Nicotine is not the only bad habit to cause staining to the enamel but caffeine, red wine, gravy and sauces will also stain the teeth but like many things it will depend on the frequency of usage but with such a simple and time effective treatment available for your teeth then no need to worry.
Laser teeth whitening is also known as zoom whitening which is a commonly used name in the USA and even the Americans have developed Zoom 2 teeth whitening which is essentially the same but early adopters will want to try new names and ideas.
The name aside laser teeth whitening is a huge growth industry and with added benefits like helping clients to quit smoking then no wonder customers are prepared to travel to get the treatment.

How to Stop Bleeding Gums
Bleeding gums can be one sign of periodontal disease, gingivitis, or other serious problems. Other symptoms like bad breath, toothache, and receding gums indicate poor dental health.
Gum disease affects the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Bacteria affect the gum, which can turn into tartar and plaque buildup, irritate your gums and lead to bleeding and receding gums. Top quality oral hygiene cures bleeding gums.
Bleeding gums are also caused by the canker sores which are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Aging is also a factor for bleeding gums. If you do not treat gums properly it may eventually lead to loss of teeth. Early diagnoses of the bleeding gums are better and you can treat them so that there are no further complications. Tooth loss is caused gum weakening. Many people are affected by gingivitis that is characterized by bleeding gums and swollen gums. This condition may also be painful for some people.
Folic acid tablets are also available in the medical stores for this purpose. Gums that bleed are not only unhealthy but are also unattractive. People who take care of their external looks should also concentrate on the bleeding gums. Consult a dentist if you have problems like toothache, canker sores, receding gums or excessive plaque.
Brushing teeth is such a routine that very few people think about it. The teeth are not getting brushed properly. All-natural, fluoride-free toothpaste should be used for brushing. While brushing your teeth along the gum line, angle your toothbrush at a 45-degree so it is up against your teeth and gums. Then jiggle the toothbrush back and forth in small, round strokes. The correct motion is more like massaging along the gums line than brushing.
Adding 2 -3 drops of tea-tree oil to the toothpaste for brushing provides good teeth. You will have a longer fresh-breath feeling afterwards. Flossing daily is the best way to stop plaque from forming between teeth. When flossing is done on a daily basis as advised, bleeding will become less & less and soon gone. Flossing & scaling can reach and clean under the gum line effectively.
Home Remedies For Acid Reflux Disease - From Gum to Apple Cider Vinegar
There are many people who suffer the effects of acid reflux disease, a disorder in which the contents of the stomach including gastric acids are regurgitated back up into the esophagus and throat. Those who suffer from its effects know the symptoms well; heartburn, pain or burning in the throat, bitter taste at the back of the throat, difficulty swallowing, chronic cough, and hoarseness caused by damage to the larynx. Fortunately for most people simple home remedies for acid reflux disease can usually control the problem.
Many people mistakenly think that acid reflux, or GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease), is caused by the production of to much stomach acid. While stomach acid is the main cause of the symptoms experienced the reason it gets back into the esophagus is the failure of 3 specific points in the esophagus; the anti-reflux barrier, the lower esophageal sphincter, and the gastroesophageal valve. If any one of these three barriers is weakened or fails acid has the opportunity to move back up the esophagus.
Probably the best home remedy to keep acid reflux at bay is eating a healthy diet that minimizes the production of stomach acid. One way to find out which foods make the symptoms worse is to keep a food log for a few weeks. Keep track of which foods set off the acid reflux and then it becomes easier to avoid them, or at least eat them in moderation. This list can vary from person to person but there are some foods that are known to cause acid reflux symptoms in the majority of its sufferers. These include fatty foods, spicy foods, certain spices, some citrus fruits, and caffeine.
One of the more unknown remedies for acid reflux is apple cider vinegar. In addition to treating GERD apple cider vinegar is also rumored to help with weight loss, acne, cholesterol, constipation, and heartburn. It is believed that the acidity of the vinegar mimics the acid in your stomach helping to more easily digest the food that has been eaten. The best way to take apple cider vinegar is just before or with your meal. One tablespoon mixed with water works best but make sure to use the organic variety, which still has the enzymes in it.
There are also certain fruits and vegetables that have a calming effect on the stomach can help control the symptoms of acid reflux. These include bananas, apples, figs, pineapple and papaya along with carrots and cabbage. Cinnamon, cardamom, mace, nutmeg, and slippery elm are a few herbs and spices that also help reduce the effects of GERD.
Chewing gum is another quick remedy for acid reflux. It works by increasing saliva output and saliva is the body's natural ant-acid. As you swallow the excess saliva produced by chewing gum it settles the stomach and reduces the amount of acid being produced.
If you or someone you know suffers from acid reflux disease then trying some of these home remedies may provide relief from the symptoms. It is important to talk to your doctor about your GERD and get a thorough check up because if not properly treated it can damage the esophagus and can eventually cause a form of throat cancer.

Coffee Addiction - Alternatives to Coffee
Do you have an addiction to coffee? Do you find it hard to get through even half an hour without having another cup? Have you worn a trail between your desk and the coffee machine? Well there are alternatives which will still keep you active, without the addictive properties of caffeine.
First of all, don't try to go "cold turkey" and stop drinking coffee completely and suddenly. If you do that, you're quite likely to have severe withdrawal symptoms such as sweating and shaking hands. Just take it gradually and cut down to start with. Try to reduce your coffee intake by about fifty percent in the first instance and replace those other cups of coffee with something else. Here are some ideas.
Drink something else: Variety is the spice of life, so why not alternate your cups of coffee with fruit or vegetable juices, hot chocolate, or even a low calorie carbonated drink but not cola unless it's decaffeinated. How about decaf coffee? It isn't completely without caffeine but it's a start. Water, boring though it may seem, is also a refreshing alternative to coffee.
The sugar rush: If it's the sugar from your cup of coffee that you need for energy, have a cereal bar instead or a piece of fruit. The sugar from an apple or orange is far healthier than the refined sugar you put in coffee.
Coffee instead of food: If you drink coffee because it takes the edge off your appetite and you're trying to diet, it's a very bad idea and incredibly unhealthy. Do eat something. Eat carrot sticks or other vegetables. Keep them in the 'fridge ready prepared so it's no effort or take them to work in an airtight box. Have some cottage cheese on crispbread or even a sandwich but take it easy on the butter and the filling. A scrape of low fat spread and a thin slice of ham or cheese with some tomato, lettuce and cucumber certainly won't do you much harm even if you are on a diet and bread is a great source of carbohydrate and therefore slow-release energy, which is much better than the sugar rush you get from sweets and chocolates. If you must have something sweet, try sugar free mints or gum or low fat and sugar plain biscuits.
Start the day right: Have a good energy giving breakfast such as muesli or porridge. If the weather is cold, there's nothing like a steaming bowl of porridge to set you up for the day. If you can't be bothered to make porridge, get one of those instant oatmeal cereals that you just add hot water or milk to.
Exercise for energy: There's nothing like some strenuous exercise to increase your metabolic rate and your adrenalin levels, So much so that you probably won't even feel the need for caffeine if you take some exercise a couple of times a day, even for ten minutes at a time.
If you follow some or all of the above suggestions as well as gradually reducing your coffee consumption until you finally drink no more than three cups of coffee a day, that coffee addiction and nasty side effects will be beaten.
