What's Causing Your Dry Skin?

Dry skin happens to be very uncomfortable.

It also happens to be something that you can avoid by
just paying attention to how you are caring for your skin.

The causes of dry skin range widely but there are some
considerations for this condition that happen more often
than not.

You may have just bathed in water that was too hot too
often or you may have a medical condition that is causing
your skin to become too dry.

In any case, understanding what is causing your dry skin
will help you to prevent it from happening over and over
again.

Common Dry Skin Causes

The causes for dry skin range in severity too. While you
may be just a bit uncomfortable with the itchy skin, for
others it is painful. Here are some of the causes that you
may have been exposed to.

• Low humidity. When you are exposed to warm air indoors
and then venture out into the cold outdoor air, your skin
reacts to this humidity level. Because it is used to the
warmer temperatures, when you are outdoors it easily can
dry out causing your skin to flake and even hurt at times.

• Too Much Washing. If you wash your skin too often or you
are using a very hot temperature of water, your skin loses
its important natural oils which results again in dry skin.

• Soap. Some soaps are too harsh for the skin. They will
draw out and wash away those natural oils which will leave
your skin dry and cracking. Using only mild soaps can be
helpful in avoiding dry skin.

• Vitamin A. If you don’t get enough Vitamin A in your
diet, you too may experience dry skin. Adding more will
reduce the occurrence and severity of your dry skin.

• An illness. There are several illnesses that can bring on
dry skin. Usually this is due to the medications that you
may be taking for the illness that you have.

• Sunlight. Sunlight actually can draw out the moisture in
your skin, too, leaving it dry. To avoid this problem, seek
out a moisturizer that provides sun blocking benefits to
you, too.

The cause of your dry skin may be something different, too.
The fact is that there are many causes to this common
condition.

The good news is that most of the time all that is needed
is prevention from these conditions or a few moisturizers
to give you the relief you deserve.

An Overview To Exercise During Pregnancy

Exercise During Pregnancy

Many expectant mothers realize that healthy nutrition and
balanced active lifestyles enable them to have healthier
pregnancies and newborns, and to get through the birthing
process and labor more readily and easily.

The level of your continued efforts will depend a lot on
your pre-pregnancy fitness levels.

Exercise stimulates all the body’s systems and holistically
speaking doing the right types of exercises can actually
assist in the childbirth process, with all its challenges
and obstacles.

Respiratory, muscular, circulatory, nervous system, lifting
mood, positive hormones, balanced system can all benefit
the reproductive processes, outcome.

Not over-exerting yourself is key and depending on the
types of sports, workouts that you prefer or are required,
trimester, timing, fitness levels, condition and risk
factors, your medical practitioner and fitness instructor
will be able to advise and customize an exercise during
pregnancy type workout, full-body, aerobic, stretching,
toning, sculpting, breathing, relaxing will be alternated
for optimal benefit.

Exercise also assists with mood and generally more positive
feelings of being energized, more positive and not being
victim to the physical signs and discomforts that threaten
to overwhelm and control during the passage of nine months,

It helps with painful joints, swollen ankles, keeps blood
pressure in check. So whether in the gym, using equipment,
or at home, taking a pre-natal yoga class, swimming,
walking daily or at least 3-4 times a week, will leave you
feeling more like yourself and less like a shapeless,
oversized blimp.

As to which types of exercises is most suited, safe and
gives the maximum benefit, will depend pretty much on the
individual, as no two women or pregnancies for that matter
are or will be the same.

Ensure that you discuss your medical condition and risks
with your medical care-giver or gynecology team before
starting a new regimen or workout, or the level of strain,
intensity and duration you and your pregnant body, fetus
will be able to handle comfortable, without putting anyone
or anything at increased risk.

There is a myth and misconception that pregnancy and
exercise do not mix, for it increases the risk for a
miscarriage, there is no scientific evidence to support
this hypothesis.

How to deal with having a stroke

How to deal with having a stroke

It is not always easy to deal with someone that has gone
through a stroke in your life. If you or someone that you
know has been the victim of a stroke, then you must know
that this is one of the hardest times that a person can go
through. It is very unpredictable and there are no side
effects that will be the same. It is important to make sure
that you are giving the right amount of support and care to
anyone that has known the devastation of a stroke.

There are negative emotions that a person is going to have
to go through when they are the victims of a stroke.
Feeling sad about the ability to do something that you once
could do so well is torture for some. This is going to be a
normal emotion and one that many people will go through.
You need to learn how to accept this and anyone that is
helping a stroke victim out should also know that this is a
sensitive area that has to be dealt with the right way.

The following will be some of the emotional feelings that a
person can go through when they are trying to help someone
get over a stroke. You should pay attention to these
problems and treat them as you can with each person that
you are dealing with.

* Emotional stability, sudden laughing or crying

* Anxiety

* Grief at the loss of mobility

* Humiliation

* Depression

* Memory loss

* Confusion

A person that is suffering from a stroke will have
different on the area of the brain injury. People who have
had a strong on the right side of their brain will tend to
experience memory problems, time disorientation and
emotional highs and lows. They may also be less able to use
abstract thinking and talk too much.

People that have had a stroke on the left side of their
brain may have more problems with their speech and reading
abilities as well. They will also be more cautions and get
frustrated a lot easier. The left-brain injuries are more
often from depression. This is not exact but it is a good
theory for why people that are depressed go through such a
terrible time with their physical and emotional pain.

Remember to have compassion, love and understanding when it
comes to helping someone that has dealt with a stroke. This
is the best way to get them back on track and keep them
motivated for a fast recovery. You want to get them through
the hard times and keep them ready for the better times
that are coming.

Take Care
