One BIG Way To Increase Your Values and Self-Esteem

Written by Catherine Franz


One hour here, two hours there, even fifteen minutes, it all adds up, and quickly too. Television is toxic to our self- esteem. In fact, 90% of television programs are a depressant. That leaves only 10% as a stimulant. With such a high percentage of negativity fuelingrepparttar majority of this country television must play intorepparttar 114248 fact that anti- depressant consumption is doubling byrepparttar 114249 year. So, if you are wondering why you have low self-esteem, think about your television habits.

Look how longrepparttar 114250 tobacco industry used television to convince us smoking was "Cool." If that doesn't hit you, now we know that fluoride is a toxic substance that manufacturers couldn't figure where to dump, sorepparttar 114251 advertisers convincedrepparttar 114252 public, andrepparttar 114253 majority ofrepparttar 114254 dentist community, how great it was for our teeth, especially our children. Now,repparttar 114255 truth is really out, including cancer in children in academic portions.

When is enough, just that, enough? Isrepparttar 114256 public that gullible? Advertisers say yes, and we keep supporting it because we keep buying and doingrepparttar 114257 behavior.

In order for advertising to work, advertisers must create a problem or target a problem. Ifrepparttar 114258 problem isn't big enough, they blow it up with misleading information to pushrepparttar 114259 problem up in our perception. Then they promote a solution with a limited perception. These internal messages tell us we need to be dissatisfied with our lives, what we own, and especially our self-worth with their answer. No matter where you are onrepparttar 114260 social scale, commercials purposely make us feel that we haven't arrived yet.

If you love your two-year car, they tell you how great it is to buy a new one, and, of course, your self-esteem will rise just because you drive it. The next time you drive your car this message plays even if you don't think it’s playing in your mind. In addition, with allrepparttar 114261 car ads on television, how can you miss one even if you mute or leaverepparttar 114262 room duringrepparttar 114263 commercials, you still getrepparttar 114264 tail end of one?

Advertiser even play people by giving expensive cars to celebratees, create hype about them havingrepparttar 114265 car, which in turn createsrepparttar 114266 “keep up withrepparttar 114267 Jones” effect. Then,repparttar 114268 fans of those celebratees have just “got to have” that car in order for them to respect themselves inrepparttar 114269 morning. The individual’s emotional roller coaster begins in shopping forrepparttar 114270 car, throughrepparttar 114271 buying process, andrepparttar 114272 first few months withrepparttar 114273 new car. Afterwards they must sit down, watch 30 or 40 car television "gotta have" messages just after writing a their car payment check for that new car and immediately get depressed because they have $10 left inrepparttar 114274 account and they now wantrepparttar 114275 other new car. Then talk show programs tell them they can't manage their money and all it takes is simple common sense. They get down on themselves, grab another anti-depressant, and watch another car ad.

Its a-no-wonder depression is doubling year in children in America. The message we're bombarded with is whatever we own isn't good enough. Moreover, we allowrepparttar 114276 television to be our babysitter while we are off doing something else. Would you hire an individual to stand in front of your children and yell at them every 10 to 15 minutes for 3 to 6 minutes on what to buy? No, television is doing it for you already. Parents, what-are-ya-thinking? Or aren't you?

Why do we get fever?

Written by Granny's Mettle


God provided us with an ingenious body that knows what to do when something unwelcome invades it. As an animal must defend itself against enemies, so does our body fight bacteria or viruses when they try to occupy our system.

The normal body temperature of a healthy man is 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit. When bacteria, viruses, or even fungi, invade our body it usually results to an infection. When our body gets infected, its natural response is to activate cells inrepparttar immune system. These cells are called white blood cells. When they are activated, they fight these bacteria in many ways, one of which is to raiserepparttar 114247 body temperature. That's when you have a fever.

Whenrepparttar 114248 virus or bacteria entersrepparttar 114249 body system, they produce toxins that can directly setrepparttar 114250 body's temperature up. Meanwhile, these toxins also triggerrepparttar 114251 white blood cells to emit substances that can also increaserepparttar 114252 body temperature.

Fever then, fights off toxins when we are sick. Toxins are usually weaker than normal cells and have low tolerance to heat. When we start to sweat because ofrepparttar 114253 fever, our body starts to detoxify fromrepparttar 114254 viruses, tumors and other toxic cells that causedrepparttar 114255 infection. Moreover, blood circulation and respiration increases during fever. Both these processes helprepparttar 114256 body fight offrepparttar 114257 poisonous germs present in our body when we have infection.
