Causes for worldwide recession

I belief the most talked or may I say the most favourite subject currently being discussed is RECESSION. This issue really bugs me a lot and am sure others too may share the same view. The issue will more or less will eventually determine our capabilities of supporting a progressive civilised society.

America is technically is in recession. What is recession? Technically a country goes into recession when the economy registered negative (-ve) growth for two straight consecutive quaters. It started in America and rapidly spreading to Europe and probably to the rest of the world. Iceland is the first casualty and is tecnically bankrupt.

It started very slowly and is now spreading like a wild fire. If left uncheck it will turn into a world wide recession like we never see before. God forbid all this. The west are fond of expounding their ideals "total western like democracy", "level playing field" in the name of free world trade, follow rule of the jungle "survival of the fittest", folow and expound policy of state non-inteference". The lists can go on and on. Practically I may say the lists can be "endlessly". What is these all means?. They preach and ply it tirelessly and relentlessly. Generally it is a form of trade barriers and restriction in disguised, means to safeguard the interest of the west.

Countries and groups that did not subscribed to these ideals are severly repriminded, diplomatically isolated and worse trade restrictions and trade embagoes are put in place. In some instances or in a worse case scenarios the country's independent was trampelled and militarilly invaded.

Countries of the West and America spend billions of dollars on military and occupying non-comforming countries. All these are generally unproductive and thus will naturally effect it economy. America is now classified as the biggest deptor nation in the world. It citizen will have to pay and continue paying for generations to come. Recently I read articles saying that some of the American can't afford to see doctor and start doing self diognosing themselves. They even concoted their own home made remedies or medecines. Shame on America and this is happening in the world's biggest economy and the most powerfull nation in this planet earth.

So if we tract back to our history (which we never learn) and past deeds, the current recession or economic tsunami is veruy much due to our very own doing, greed and foolishness.

Slimming down

Guys, since I am involve in the health industry it only fair that my first posting is related to health issue. Thanks for surfing and do enjoy yourself and foremost keep yourself healthy.

Slimming down

Often we witness people who climb up onto a weighing scale end up giving various kind facial expressions. Why? The great majority are simply not happy with what they are now. They are either well endowed or under endowed. Both are considered as a problem but it is the over-weight that is raising an alarm bell. This is also a cause of concern for our health authority. Over-weight is currently quite prevalence in our society espescially among children. It is now being catogarised by the authority as a major problem. If left uncheck it will severely impacted on our country general well being. Since the alarm bell was raised, various measures were taken and awareness campaigns were initiated either by the government or the NGO’s or both working collectively. Several measures were adopted in trying to mitigate this problem. Basically we have to be very clear that the onus is on us to keep ourself healthy. We have to practice a healthy life styles and religously practicing it without fail. These will require strict self discipline which include keeping ourself fit by constantly exercising our body, watching our diet by eating balance food and watching our weight at all time.


Below are some of the sample questions people who are over weight often asked?

I have a spare tire but it's not the usual around-the-belly tire. It's above my bum. It's like a lump that goes from one side to the other. Is there an exercise that can get rid of this? Or

I a man had a huge stomach and I being dieting and exercising for years but that just won't move away. Why?

How are we going to keep fit and keep our weight down? Unfortunately, there is no magic exercise formula here. The general guidelines state that “people vary a great deal in how much physical activity they need to achieve and maintain a healthy weight” and that “the optimal amount of physical activity needed to maintain weight is unclear.” But experts say one thing is pretty clear: Most adults aren’t going to lose substantial weight and keep it off by following the guidelines’ minimum physical activity recommendation of 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking or water aerobics.

Weight control is one area where these "lower level" physical activities may not be sufficient for many individuals. To lose significant weight and keep it off, many people will need more than 300 minutes a week of moderate activity. Spread out over the course of a week, that amounts to at least an hour of exercise for five days, which is in line with other recommendations for weight control. If you’re sedentary, begin slowly and build up.

Expert acknowledge, diet did plays a big role. To lose weight, you have to expend more calories than you consume. People who eat more will need to exercise more to work it off. People who closely control their calorie intake may be able to keep their weight in check with less exercise. Complicating matters, genetics also factors in, so some people will naturally have a harder time with weight control than others.

The gist or the moral of the story is to keep exercising, watch and control your dietry intake to shed excess weight. There is no short cut except hard work and lot and lot of will power. Never ever take the short cut route especially by resorting to using sliming pills which may bring more harm than good. If you are one of those unlucky few it may cause you a life time misery. In a worse scenario, you may end up dead. So guy the choice is yours.
