An Insider Guide To Choosing The Right Medical ID Jewelry

A medical ID speaks for you when you can’t.  It is the most important piece of jewelry you wear. Good looking is a must as it is a piece of jewelry, but there is much more to medical alert ID pieces.  

Healthy Weight and Healthy Skin for 2015

If you are like most folks, you put on some extra heft during the holidays.  All those sweets probably gave you a little acne, too.  Where the breakouts aren't, winter weather has likely rounded out the trifecta with a not so healthy helping of dry river bed-like skin.  It's time to return this little "present" so that it does not become the gift that keeps on giving with continuing added girth and ongoing skin problems.

Is Healthy Living on Your List of New Year’s Resolutions?

It hard to believe that another year has come and gone, isn’t it?  As I look back over the past year, I think about how excited I was to see the calendar rolling around to a new opportunity to accomplish the goals that I would set for myself to push forward in areas that I wanted to develop.  In all honesty, I did reach many of those goals, but others… well, let’s just say that I’m going to have the opportunity to give them another shot in this New Year!

Having a Healthy Christmas Dinner?

This Christmas people all over the world will enjoy traditions and rituals that they have practiced for years.  Some will hang electric lights on the outside of their homes and on the surrounding trees while others will light special candles.  Some will shop for store-bought gifts to share while others will give hand-made items.  Some families will travel to remote destinations while others will spend Christmas in their own homes.  In spite of the many different ways people choose to celebrate this special time of year, there is one tradition that tends to be common to all who celebrate Christmas:  the Christmas dinner.

Does Your Christmas Tree Help Promote Healthy Living?

Christmas is a time for traditions.  In my household, one tradition we love to keep is going together as a family to cut the perfect Christmas tree.  We are fortunate to have a Christmas tree farm near our home, so we prefer to get out of town, head out to the farm and cut our own tree instead of buying one at the local market.

Healthy Living in Your Christmas Stockings!

It’s that time of year:  we’re trimming trees, stringing popcorn and cranberries for garlands, and hanging our Christmas stockings over the mantle.  At my house, the stocking-stuffing tradition is becoming more popular each year.  While Christmas morning tends to take center stage, we began using the Christmas stocking as a way to curb the curiosity and satisfy the itch to “open just one gift – please?” days before that magical number 25 on the December calendar appears.  But each year I find myself wondering what I can put inside that will be unique and appreciated…

The Best Magnetic Jewelry 

Almost all magnetic jewelry is imbedded with either Samarium-Cobalt or Neodymium-Iron-Boron families of magnets.  Both families are collectively known as the Rare Earth Minerals.

Samarium-Cobalt magnet can supply magnetic power stability due to its strong resistance to corrosion, oxidation and heat. It usually does not need to be coated and can be widely used in high temperature and poor working conditions.

The Bad is Good at the Right Place and Time.

The Mayo Clinic explains nickel allergy as followings:

“Nickel allergy is one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis — an itchy rash that appears when your skin touches a usually harmless substance.

Nickel allergy is commonly associated with earrings and other jewelry, particularly jewelry associated with body piercings.     But nickel can be found in many everyday items — from coins to zippers, from cellphones to eyeglass frames.

Nickel allergy can affect people of all ages. A nickel allergy usually develops after repeated or prolonged exposure to items containing nickel. Treatments can reduce the symptoms of nickel allergy. Once you develop nickel allergy, however, you will always be sensitive to the metal and need to avoid contact.”

 The Copper in My Bracelet is Not Pure? 
 

A lot of people already know about the benefits of wearing copper:

■Copper chalets are more effective and less toxic than conventional drugs in treating arthritis.  —Dr. J. Sorenson, University of Arkansas

■Copper is an essential element to the enzyme that rebuilds cartilage.  —Dr. Helmar H. A. Dollwet, Professor of Biology, University of Akron

■Timed release of copper into the blood stream.  —Dr. R. Walker, University of Newcastle

Human sweat breaks down and dissolves pure copper so that our bodies can absorb this essential mineral through our skin.
