The prices of medicine and hospital fees have risen considerably through the years. Investing on one's health can be one of the best money-saving decisions you will ever make.

1. Invest in Healthy Organic Food

Organic food is simply food that was not processed or mixed with superficial ingredients. Vegetables and fruits that were grown without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides are considered organic.

Choosing to eat organic food is a healthy option. Eating more garden salads and less fatty foods will do wonders in melting your belly fat away. Organic food is much safer, and probably have more nutrients in them than non-organic foods.

2. Invest in Vitamin and Herbal Supplements

Some people write off vitamin and herbal supplements as hoaxes or scams. It is true they do not immediately produce therapeutic effects for sick people. These health supplements, however, are not completely placebo stuff.

Herbal supplements, in particular, come from plants. Anti-oxidants and vitamins extracted from herbs and plants help cleanse the body and maintain a high level of energy, which our cells make use of to keep themselves operating smoothly. When our cells are healthy, our whole body is healthy.

3. Invest in Fitness Equipment

Eating healthy foods and taking health supplements are not enought. You will need sufficient exercise to burn the calories away and keep your body in shape. Investing in good fitness equipment can help.

A treadmill, a stationary bike and a set of dumbbells may be enough. The rest of your body can benefit from floor exercises. Invest in exercise mats and clothing. Remember to always keep your self hydrated and to not overdo exercises.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
