Be Aware Of Your Reasons

You have decided that you want to lose weight and improve your health. What isrepparttar first step? Start by asking yourself what your reason(s)is for wanting to make this change.

This may sound trivial, but if you do not have a conscience and powerful reason for wanting to lose weight, you will find plenty of reasons not to.

I'm assuming that, like me, a lot of you have tried and failed at some previous attempt to lose weight inrepparttar 115087 past. For me,repparttar 115088 last time was about 2 1/2 years ago. I had lost about 50 pounds, which I had killed myself to do, and had kept it off for about 6 months. Two later, I gained backrepparttar 115089 50 pounds plus another 8 pounds.

I had plenty of excuses. My wife and I bought our first house, my second son was born, I took a part-time job inrepparttar 115090 evening, ect... I kept finding excuses not to work out and my diet soon followed and went downrepparttar 115091 tubes.

After working so hard why did I let this happen?

I believe now that it came down torepparttar 115092 fact that my reason for wanting to stay lean and healthy had changed. When I first began, I kept looking at pictures of myself at nineteen and I wanted to look like that again. There was nothing I could do aboutrepparttar 115093 thinning hair, but I could change my body. But somewhere along repparttar 115094 way, looking like I did twelve years ago was no longer important.

Written by Thuvarakan Tharmalingam


We have all suffered from an occasional case of bad breath. It's estimated that 50 to 65 percent ofrepparttar population suffer from bad breath. A few unfortunate people suffer from chronic bad breath, seeming never to get rid ofrepparttar 115086 foul odor that escapes every time they open their mouth. But what isrepparttar 115087 main cause of bad breath?

Like all living organisms, we have a variety of other organisms that live in or on us in a constant balance of life. In case of bad breath,repparttar 115088 main cause isrepparttar 115089 bacteria that normally occur within your mouth; or more specificallyrepparttar 115090 waste products these bacteria produce from their normal biological life.

Life of Bacteria in Your Mouth

Your body is a host to billions of bacteria, andrepparttar 115091 majority of them are beneficial to you; there are bacteria in your stomach which aid food digestion, there are helpful bacteria on your skin which protect you against other harmful bacteria, and there are bacteria that just loverepparttar 115092 environment of your mouth. The last type is called anaerobic bacteria.

Anaerobic bacteria live best in conditions where there is no oxygen. There are plenty of places for anaerobic bacteria to live in your mouth; underrepparttar 115093 gum line, onrepparttar 115094 back of your tongue, betweenrepparttar 115095 teeth, and just about any place in your mouth that may be covered by a thin film. It isrepparttar 115096 waste products ofrepparttar 115097 anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath.

Again, a person's mouth is home to hundreds of different species of bacteria. There is a constant battle going on in your mouth at all times. A battle for living space between that cause bad breath and those that don't. The precise balance between these types of bacteria, determinesrepparttar 115098 freshness of your breath.
