An understanding concept of infection did not exist before the work of Louis
Pasteur, a French scientist. he first conceived and proved the existence of
microorganisms by establishing that animals and vegetables do not decompose
spontaneously.<span></span>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
The process would begin when he added unboiled matter to it. This experiment
raised today's knowledge of infection and medicine's power to fight it.

<br />What is Infections? Infection is a condition that occurs when the body
or a part of the body is invaded by disease-causing germs or organisms. One
or more organs or parts sustain at least temporary damage. The body as a
whole reacts protectively, in most cases, with general symptoms such as
fever.<br /><br />Local and general infections are two different things.
Local infection is restricted to one fairly sharply defined area, such as a
tooth or a finger. As for general infection, it involves more or less the
entire system.<br /><br />You won't be able to see the organism which causes
the infection because they're so small that they are invisible without a
microscope. Few exceptions for large parasites such as hookworm and
pinworm.<br /><br />The smallest organisms, the viruses are visible only
with an ultramicroscope or electron microscope. The organism causing disease
are known scientifically as pathogens.

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Microorganisms Category <br /></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Microorganisms are classified in several ways, according to their size,
shape, or mode of life. <br />
</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Size <br /></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The smallest are viruses, which are so tiny that they pass through a
porous porcelain filter. Bacteria are many times larger than viruses, and
cannot pass through a filter, but they are still considered small. The
third group of microorganisms is protozoa, one-celled animals such as
amoeba.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Fungi is another group of microorganism, and also many multicellular fungi
which grow much larger. Fungi have plant-like characteristics, and those
which are microorganisms are in the same general size class as the
bacteria.<br /><br />Parasites that attack the human body are larger, for
the most part, and visible without the microscope. In addition to the
intestinal worms, they include mites, lice, and various other
insects.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Midway in size between the viruses and the bacteria is a special group of
microorganisms called rickettsiae. They cause typhus, Rocky Mountain
spotted fever and related diseases.<br />
</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Shapes</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Bacteria are classified according to their shapes. The three main
classifications are The Bacillus which is a rod shape; The Coccus which is
oval or spherical; and those shaped in one or more curves like vibrio,
resembling a comma; and the spiral spirochete and spirillum. Some live
singly, others together in clumps or chains.

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Body's Defense Against Infections</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
An infection normally follows a regular course of development. In general,
when an organ, tissue, or area of the body is invaded by an infecting
organism, the body responds by taking appropriate protective measures.<br /><br />The
nature of these responses depends upon the type of infection and its
severity. For example, a boil is a localized bacterial infection of a
group of skin cells.<br /><br />The first thing our body does is body
walls off the area so that the invading bacteria are prevented from
entering the blood cells and other means, and the infection remains
localized.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The body's first defense is to prevent the entrance of harmful organisms.
This is the purpose of the skin, mucous membrane, and various devices
which protect the openings of the body.<br /><br />When these defenses are
breached, the body immediately counterattacks the invader. The white cells
in the blood rapidly increase in number and attempt to envelop and destroy
individual bacteria.<br /><br />For example, a local infection is isolated
as much as possible, by a temporary protective encirclement. Blood plasma
bunches up bacteria for easier disposal, and antibodies, special
substances which combat specific microorganisms are formed in the
blood.<br /><br />The toxins or poisons produced by the bacteria, prompt
the body to develop antitoxin to counteract them.
</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Vaccination and Antibiotics<br /></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Medical science has discovered ways to stimulate our body to produce
substances that will protect it against specific diseases. In
<a href="https://gdrake.blogspot.com/2021/04/how-do-vaccines-work.html">vaccination</a>, weakened or dead microorganisms are injected into the body to cause the
formation of antibodies.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Research also has developed specific drugs that have disposed of many
remaining major infections as serious threats. The best known and widely
used are antibiotics.<br /><br />Nowadays, antibiotics have relieved
pneumonia patients in a matter of hours. Tremendous progress has also been
made against venereal diseases because of antibiotics.<br />

Depression in a person is reflected in his attitudes toward other people and their actions.<br /><br />Depression is a state of mind in which action and decisions are paralyzed. When people are depressed, they grow too careful. They are afraid of spending money or having pleasures and entertainments. Eventually, the person becomes on bad terms not only with the world in general but also with himself.<br /><br />They tend to live in the past and evade the future. Their depression will son reflects itself in personal appearance. They also become irritable, so they are rude and hypercritical. For this reason, people who are depressed tend to resemble one another in several ways.</p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">Overcoming Depression</h2><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">One of the most important steps in overcoming depression is to understand their condition. This at least will serve to prevent constant worry and anxiety.<br /><br />People who insist that they never worry have learned to reason themselves, by rationalization, out of anxiety over situations in which they find themselves.<br /><br />Other people develop mental tranquility or peace of mind by accepting some belief which eliminates from consideration anything that is displeasing.<br /><br />This is not rationalization but may bring identical effects for a person who is capable of shutting out from his thoughts any problem that disturbs them.<br /><br />Peace of mind is necessary for accomplishment because the absence of peace of mind gives a constant feeling of insecurity. Often mental depression is transferred to physical symptoms, such as extra heartbeats, constipation, or diarrhea.</p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jQd5Auoumvw/YJopjQHKjHI/AAAAAAAABHc/2yEXE0DWtxwqHRTYTHLCv7NMD5fFEW_QwCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/importance-of-mental-and-emotional-health2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Importance of Mental and Emotional Health" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jQd5Auoumvw/YJopjQHKjHI/AAAAAAAABHc/2yEXE0DWtxwqHRTYTHLCv7NMD5fFEW_QwCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h213/importance-of-mental-and-emotional-health2.jpg" title="Importance of Mental and Emotional Health" width="320" /></a></div><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">Photo by <strong><a href="https://www.pexels.com/@cottonbro?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexels">cottonbro</a></strong> from <strong><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-in-black-pants-and-black-shoes-sitting-on-brown-wooden-chair-4101143/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexels">Pexels</a></strong></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">Importance of Mental and Emotional Health</h2><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Emotional and mental health is important because it’s an essential part of our life.

Kidneys also help to keep a fine balance between acid and alkaline conditions in the tissues by removing excess acid.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mcrngxhxkKU/YJkDmG9vsnI/AAAAAAAABHE/MtfuciZuq_EMrapEf6qrNswDo-yDh-_egCNcBGAsYHQ/s612/improve-kidney-health1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Improve Kidney Health" border="0" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="612" height="178" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mcrngxhxkKU/YJkDmG9vsnI/AAAAAAAABHE/MtfuciZuq_EMrapEf6qrNswDo-yDh-_egCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h178/improve-kidney-health1.jpg" title="Improve Kidney Health" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Image By: iStockPhoto.com <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Not only that, but they also maintain the necessary relation between salt and water in the body. Disturbance of this balance leads to over retention of moisture, or to insufficiency of water. Which may cause acidosis, dehydration, or reduce the necessary chemical changes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kidneys are unique because of the amount of work they perform in a small area. Each kidney is only about 12cm (4inc) high. However, 600 or more quarts of blood or 150 gallons pass through them in 24 hours.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Kidney's Disease</h4><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Urinary Tract Stones</b><br />This disease is common and found in both men and women. There are different types of stones. Each made up of different combinations of chemicals regularly discharged by the kidneys. When urine is concentrated, it can predispose to the formation of stones. Someone who doesn't take enough liquids may develop this condition. <br /><br />Another theory is that stones may result from an abnormal change occurring in the colloid material present in the urine. This material normally prevents the chemicals there from grouping together to form stones.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gout is a common cause of kidney stones. The high uric acid content of the blood that is secreted into the urine by a gout sufferer will sometimes form uric acid stones.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JkOSS6z5YPc/YJkCt1YffEI/AAAAAAAABG8/d3Aoz5TKqSU5aAZLNM1GOSzjORUvHBkzgCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/improve-kidney-health.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Improve Kidney Health" border="0" data-original-height="1154" data-original-width="2048" height="180" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JkOSS6z5YPc/YJkCt1YffEI/AAAAAAAABG8/d3Aoz5TKqSU5aAZLNM1GOSzjORUvHBkzgCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h180/improve-kidney-health.jpg" title="Improve Kidney Health" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">Image By: Pexels.com <br /></div><h4 style="text-align: justify;"> </h4><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Symptoms</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">It depends on the location.

Even just five minutes of simple exercise such as jogging, walking up and downstairs, or yoga will help improve your body function. But do be mindful of how much exercise you do. When you’re not in good shape or just starting, pick a workout that suits your condition.<br /><br /><b>Pay Attention to Your Supplements and Meds</b><br />Excessive amounts of certain supplements or even herbal extracts may be harmful to your kidneys. If you have kidney disease or decreased kidney function, taking just a few doses can harm your kidneys.

It detoxifies various substances necessary for metabolism, synthesizes protein, and produces biochemicals for digestion and growth. The liver also has a role in regulating glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, and hormone production.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a>A human liver normally weighs around 1.5 kg (3.3 lb)and has a width of about 15 cm (6 in). The standard weight range for men is 970–1,860 gr (2.14–4.10 lb) and for women 600–1,770 gr (1.32–3.90 lb). This makes the liver both the heaviest internal organ and the largest gland in the human body.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://images.newscientist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/02164513/f0107588-human_liver_illustration-spl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tips to Improve Liver Health" border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="213" src="https://images.newscientist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/02164513/f0107588-human_liver_illustration-spl.jpg" title="Tips to Improve Liver Health" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The liver has two large sections called the right and the left lobes. The gallbladder lies under the liver, accompanying parts of the pancreas and intestines. The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Types of Liver Disease</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Hepatitis</b><br />Infection of the liver caused by viruses like hepatitis A, B, and C. Hepatitis can also have non-infectious causes, including heavy drinking, drugs, allergic reactions, or obesity.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cirrhosis</b><br />It's a permanent scar from long-term damage to the liver from any cause. This causes the liver to become unable to function well.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Liver Cancer</b><br />The most common type of liver cancer, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, almost always happens after cirrhosis is present.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Liver Failure</b><br />It has many causes including infection, genetic diseases, and excessive alcohol consumption.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ascites</b><br />Result of cirrhosis. The liver leaks fluid (Ascites) into the belly, which becomes swollen and heavy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Gallstones</b><br />Bile duct infection (Cholangitis) can happen if a gallstone becomes stuck in the bile duct draining the liver. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1yKkfBzI4JY/YJaDfANuAPI/AAAAAAAABGc/hzzcgDm5g5wdhr5eqeKqsRaVCtFTHnsRQCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/tips-to-improve-liver-health.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tips to Improve Liver Health" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1yKkfBzI4JY/YJaDfANuAPI/AAAAAAAABGc/hzzcgDm5g5wdhr5eqeKqsRaVCtFTHnsRQCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h213/tips-to-improve-liver-health.jpg" title="Tips to Improve Liver Health" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Liver Facts</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Nutrient Center</b><br />Your small intestine takes in nutrients from food and passes them into your blood through special cells. The liver is the first stop, it puts the nutrients into forms the body can use, then stores and delivers them where and when the body needs them. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Food Filter</b><br />Blood from your intestines also carries toxins. Once anything your body can use is separated, your liver breaks down what’s left so it can be sent out as waste. It either travels in your bile and goes out with your poop, or it goes into your blood, then to your kidneys, and leaves your body when you pee.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Security Gate</b><br />Your liver can find and destroy harmful bacteria, viruses, and other germs that get into your body through food. It has the largest group of the immune system that eat germs called phagocytes and can launch an immune reaction when needed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Fuel Tank and Factory</b><br />Glucose, or blood sugar, is a fuel for your body. Your liver keeps around a day’s worth in the form of glycogen. If you don’t eat for a while and your blood sugar gets too low, the liver changes it back to glucose.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The liver also helps keep your energy sources in balance. Not only a big storage tank glucose, but it also takes the amino acids from digested food and converts them into fatty acids. When you run out of glucose, your liver turns those fatty acids into a form of energy called ketones. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--SUjC9A4yDs/YJaE6WegNJI/AAAAAAAABGk/XMSVwgK1KVw_H73YgPonHGsxQK69azE2wCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/tips-to-improve-liver-health2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tips to Improve Liver Health" border="0" data-original-height="1245" data-original-width="2048" height="195" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--SUjC9A4yDs/YJaE6WegNJI/AAAAAAAABGk/XMSVwgK1KVw_H73YgPonHGsxQK69azE2wCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h195/tips-to-improve-liver-health2.jpg" title="Tips to Improve Liver Health" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Improve Liver Health</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Fasting</b><br />Depending on the severity of your liver. You can detox by fasting for one to three days. Fasting helps your liver to process nutrients and toxins every time you eat.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Avoid Overeating</b><br />You generate stress on your liver every time you eat. This means you should choose your food wisely. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of fiber, and avoid processed foods.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Drink Water<br /></b>Increase your water intake helps the liver breaks down nutrients and flushes out toxins. Drinking water in the morning stimulates your liver and helps rid the body of toxins it has been breaking down at night.<b></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Stop Drinking Alcohol<br /></b>The higher someone’s blood alcohol content, the longer it takes to process alcohol. When someone has too much to drink, the alcohol left unprocessed by the liver circulates through the bloodstream. <br /><br />Alcohol abuse causes the destruction of liver cells, which ends in cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis, and cellular mutation that may lead to liver cancer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Exercise</b><br />A buildup of fatty tissue can disrupt your liver. Sedentary people often have a bad liver function. So move your body and exercise daily. Even just five minutes of simple <a href="https://gdrake.blogspot.com/2021/04/exercises-to-burn-stubborn-belly-fat.html" target="_blank">exercise</a> such as jogging, walking up and down stairs, or yoga will help improve your liver function.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4244392643331699081.post-7452269043919145272021-05-06T14:08:00.004+07:002021-05-06T14:20:45.715+07:00Unhealthy Toxic Relationship<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A relationship is a beautiful thing. The way two or more people connected in
an emotional and or sexual association sounds so magical. However, some
relationships are more difficult or even harmful to our well-being.<span></span>
</p>
<a name='more'></a>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Good relationships take some time and effort. Like what they said, it takes
two to tango. But it's more than that. In relationships, there's a take and
give, from both parties. We have to learn to adapt and accommodate the
differences. Just as they have to do the same with us.
</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dABIerF3JRo/YJOPu2ZAyiI/AAAAAAAABFw/szHuPrVrQk8B6_DqNkbSxrGsWlGqoxYpACNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/unhealthy-toxic-relationship.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Unhealthy Toxic Relationship" border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="214" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dABIerF3JRo/YJOPu2ZAyiI/AAAAAAAABFw/szHuPrVrQk8B6_DqNkbSxrGsWlGqoxYpACNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h214/unhealthy-toxic-relationship.jpg" title="Unhealthy Toxic Relationship" width="320" /></a>
</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, not everyone is like that. Some people are too selfish and
don't care about their significant other's well-being. The relationship has
changed from a beautiful feeling, into a horrible one. This relationship is
not always hopeless, but they require extreme effort to revert it into a
glorious relationship.
</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>What Is Toxic Relationship</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
You will not find positive emotional energy in this relationship. A healthy
relationship is where you can be yourself, feel comfortable, and secure. A
toxic relationship is not safe. It's characterized by insecurity,
self-centeredness, dominance, control. We don't want to risk our very being by
staying in such a relationship.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Keep in mind that our own words and actions matter as well. We can't say our
partner is toxic but in reality, you do the same. You two have to look and be
honest with yourself. Why you stay in a relationship if it will inevitably
damage yourself or your partner? What can you do to fix it?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

keep hurting? If you walk away, you will hurt but eventually, you will
heal." - Autumn Kohler<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Types of Toxic Relationships</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Toxic individuals behave the way they do for one reason. They want to be in
complete control and have all the power in the relationship. It is common for
a toxic individual to use varieties of controlling behaviors. Below are a few
types of toxic relationships:<b> </b>
</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Bad Temper Toxic</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />Can also be called controlling by intimidation. This is a type of
emotional abuse. The toxic partner will often blame their temper outburst
on you. It makes you want to give up trying to argue or even disagree
because of their way of showing their temper.</span><b> <br /><br /></b>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Convince Guilt</b><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br />This type of relationship controls by controlling guilt. They
induce and remove the guilt if you do what they want you to do. The toxic
partner controls by prompting you to feel guilt any time you do something
they don't like.</span><br /><br />It is common for them to hurt you using someone else's name<b>. </b>For example, your partner tells you how disappointed their parents are
because you didn't come for dinner.<b><br /></b>

</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The User<br /></b>This type of toxic often seems very nice and pleasant
individual. But, the reason is that they're getting everything they want
from you. They also occasionally do small things for you.<br /><br />However,
it's an obligation coated in a gift. If you don't do things their way, they
will hold what they've done over you. They may also leave you if they find
someone who will do more for them.<br /><b> <br /></b></li><li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Overdependent and Non-Dependable</b><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <br />One of the toxic methods is to let you make most decisions for them. It
is their way to put the responsibility of the outcome on your
shoulder.</span><b style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </span></b><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The other type rarely commits to what they said and usually has a
convincing excuse</span><b style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">.</span></b><b><br /><br /></b>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Belittler<br /></b>This type of toxic will continually belittle you.
They will imply that anything you say that expresses your ideas, beliefs, or
wants is stupid. Occasionally disguising it by saying, it's just a joke.<br /><br />The
problem is what they’re doing is not a joke. If you tolerate this behavior
long enough, you might begin to believe that you can’t make good
decisions.<b> <br /><br /></b>
</li>
<li>
<b>Possessive Toxic</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Early in your relationship with them, you may appreciate their “jealousy”,
if it isn’t too controlling. You thought that possessives will imply that
once the two of you are married or in a committed relationship, it will be
fine.<br /><br />However, these toxic individuals will become more and
more suspicious and controlling. Over time they will work hard to
eliminate any essential relationships you have with friends, and even with
family. If you stay in a relationship with such an individual you will
cease to have a life of your own.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Final Thoughts<br /></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Please remember, any relationship involving <a href="https://www.thehotline.org/" target="_blank">physical violence</a> or substance
abuse is a definition of extremely toxic and requires immediate intervention
if not separation of the two, with only very few exceptions
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Believe that you deserve to be treated with courtesy, kindness, and respect in
a relationship or you will not continue the relationship. If you want to
improve your relationship with a toxic partner, you have to be willing to
leave that relationship if nothing changes. <br />

Have you ever felt like your stomach is empty, even though you already eat a
while ago? Or maybe you feel like you're perpetually hungry all the time? This
is of course a piece of bad news if you're trying to lose some weight. And the
bigger problem is how the diet itself makes it feels so much worse.<span><a name='more'></a></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of your habits might be the reason why your stomach letting out a
thunderous growl all the time. The reason is, there are few hormones in play
related to hunger. One of the hormones that trigger hunger is
"<b>Ghrelin</b>", and the ones that keep down the hunger are "<b>Leptin</b>"
and "<b>Peptide YY</b>". </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4LT_mpDFXI/YJDOXVuVJ0I/AAAAAAAABE4/w4pwjjcub2wz05OoWAlnZqjBPqbqRIloACNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/7-reasons-why-you-always-hungry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7 Reasons Why You Always Hungry" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4LT_mpDFXI/YJDOXVuVJ0I/AAAAAAAABE4/w4pwjjcub2wz05OoWAlnZqjBPqbqRIloACNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h213/7-reasons-why-you-always-hungry.jpg" title="7 Reasons Why You Always Hungry" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These hormones are affected by several factors in your diet, habit, and
lifestyle. Some may cause ghrelin to increase and decrease the leptin and
peptide YY. Some other factors also increase your blood sugars or a stress
hormone called "<b>Cortisol</b>", which of course might cause hunger.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Why You Are Always Hungry</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<li>
<b>Not Enough Sleep<br /></b>Sleep too little triggers the body to produce
extra ghrelin, the hunger trigger hormone, and doesn't produce enough
leptin, the one that suppresses your appetite. There's also a study that
indicates that people who sleep less than 6 hours a day have a greater
possibility of being obese. So make sure you get enough sleep, aim for 7-9
hours to keep yourself healthy.<br /><b><br /></b>
</li>
<li>
<b>Not Enough Nutrients<br /></b>A balance of protein, carbohydrates, and
healthy fats is an important piece in the feeling of fullness. Do not
afraid to combine these three types of food because lack of one type can
affect your hunger level. Just make sure to consume the food from a
healthy source.<br /><b><br /></b>

for example?<b> </b>It might be the reason why you are always hungry. You
can try to modify your method by dividing your daily calorie intakes into 5-6 meals per day or with 2-3
hours intervals. This helps you boost your metabolism and change the need of consuming a certain amount of food to feel full.<br /><br /></li>
<li>
<b>Too Much Sugar and Carbs<br /></b>Another reason why you are always feeling hungry is that you eat a lot of sugar or white carbs throughout the day. The effect is quite awful because not only it causes a blood spike, which the reason why you get hungry, but also makes you crave more sugar and white carbs.<br /><b><br /></b>
</li>
<li><b>Skipping Cardio Training<br /></b>Some studies have shown that cardio training is related to appetite. The study mentioned that this type of exercise decreases ghrelin level and increases peptide YY level. Not only that, but it also helps with regulating blood sugar levels, therefore reduce your food craving.<b><br /></b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WPkyjgRwDxs/YJDRT3GqKPI/AAAAAAAABFY/AUA5iSyRhy0I9Z1X2mV_jtrYrmkIVKLCQCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/7-reasons-why-you-always-hungry3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="7 Reasons Why You Always Hungry" border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WPkyjgRwDxs/YJDRT3GqKPI/AAAAAAAABFY/AUA5iSyRhy0I9Z1X2mV_jtrYrmkIVKLCQCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h213/7-reasons-why-you-always-hungry3.jpg" title="7 Reasons Why You Always Hungry" width="320" /></a></div><br /></li>
<li><b>Overwhelmed by Stress<br /></b>Believe it or not, stress can also increase the amount of ghrelin<b> </b>and cortisol, which is the fight or flight hormone.

<span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">You might be wondering, which diet should I do? There are so many types of
diet. Paleo, keto, intermittent fasting, vegan diet, etc. But, which one is
the best and effective diet to lose weight?</span>

<span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">Let's get this straight. In order for fat and weight loss to occur, you
have to be in <b>hypo caloric state</b>. It means, you take fewer calories
than you are burning during the day to create a caloric deficit, in which
starts the process of fat burning. </span>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
Sounds easy, right? It's actually yes, and no. Getting rid of the fat is both
easy and hard. It's really easy if you know what to focus on, and it can be
difficult because of the commitment required to get it done. The commitment
itself is not only about your workout, but also nutrition. In fact, the latter
is more significant in the fat loss process.<br />

<span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">While you burn calories from your strength or cardio workout, it can be

</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Fat and Weight Lose Case</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
First, let's make a scenario. Let's say you workout 5 times / week, 1 hour in
every session. What do you do in the rest of 23 hours? Depending on what you
do in the rest of the day, it could be the key in your fat loss goal.<br />
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Let's say you only eat healthy food, you stay away from junk food, but can't
still see any differences in your body. It is wise to remember that not all
healthy foods are the same. Yes, they are all healthy, but some of them are
packed in calories.
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ibMLl4sqNtI/YI4yBhwqYcI/AAAAAAAABCA/T1wakDxzPww-7ZGLm3zvCCQM4-_PjH-jQCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/effective-diet-to-lose-weight-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Effective Diet to Lose Weight" border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ibMLl4sqNtI/YI4yBhwqYcI/AAAAAAAABCA/T1wakDxzPww-7ZGLm3zvCCQM4-_PjH-jQCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h320/effective-diet-to-lose-weight-2.jpg" title="Effective Diet to Lose Weight" width="320" /></a>
<br />
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Olive oil, nuts, peanut butter, avocado, these foods are good for you, but
they are calorie dense food. Small wrong step because you're enchanted by the
word 'healthy' might bring you to the deep trap of consuming calories more
than you should.<br />
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
There's also a scenario where you feel going healthy is truly a difficult
journey. This might happen because you make a sudden change from your old
eating habit, into a new one. You avoid those unhealthy low or high calorie
foods packed with artificial sweeteners, trying so hard to work on that diet.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Don't get me wrong, it is a very good work and attempt. However, if it only
makes you want to give up in no time, then it's safe to say that it's a not so
great approach for your case. You can try to gradually change your diet as a
bridge between bad and good food.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
For example, every morning, you usually eat sweet cinnamon buns, bacon and
everything else, then you force yourself to eat that tasteless healthy oats,
or in a way to make it taste better, you put a lot of other ingredients.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
As a short term, you can try to make a short move towards the healthy food
with something else. Rather than jump directly into real oats, you can try
instant oats. It contains sugar, it's not as healthy as the one you make in
your kitchen, but it works as a good transition from what you usually eat into
a better and of course healthy one, and most likely will work on a long run
because your tongue get used to it.<br />
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What Is the Effective Diet to Lose Weight?</b>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
As we know, what makes us lose weight is not only the calorie deficit, but
also how faithful you are to the process. Some of us are loyal to the program,
some are having a hard time, can't do it every single day. This is also why
there's a thing called "Cheat Meal Day". </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cheat meal, doesn't mean you can eat junk food, and be free from your
responsibility. You still have to eat in moderation, it's just the menu is
slightly different, but with the same daily calorie intake. Think of it as a
way to keep yourself sane from all those healthy meals every single day.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
With that, each individual's goal is different. Different goals, means
different effort, and that means different look.<b> In conclusion</b>, the key
to have a successful and effective diet is something you can do and commit to
the plan. Any diet methods that you can't follow and commit, is not worth it.

<p style="text-align: justify;">
We all, or most of us, want to have a flat and sexy belly. However, some of us
are having difficulties in getting rid of this stubborn belly fat. It's still
there, even after you train so hard every single day.<span></span>
</p>
<a name='more'></a>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">Losing fat can be one of the easiest and hardest things to do. The reason
is that science makes it very clear what the process is, and the issue is
that sticking to what science says we should do can become really
challenging, which makes the fat loss progress halted.</span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">It is important to know that not only exercise, but your nutrition also
play an important role in getting rid of the stubborn belly fat. In order to
lose fat, you have to be in <b>calorie deficit</b>. But, don't ever use crazy diets
because you are likely will never ever be going to see long term success
from the burden you put on yourself.</span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">Let’s say you are already in calorie deficit, and you still need to lose
belly fat. For this, you should be true to yourself. How healthy are you
eating? How is your portion sizes? What about your consistency? These
questions can help you determine if the nutrition aspect is acceptable, and
we can check on the next variable, which is the training.</span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Diet alone is not enough to lose stubborn belly fat forever. You also need to
do exercises that consist more than just cardio to help increase your
metabolism and burn more calories. Ideally, 3-5 weight training per week is
what you should be aiming for.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Abs or core training, also something you want to do. When these muscles are
developed, you will get a visual impact that often helps motivate you to keep
doing more, not to mention to get a more aesthetic look too!
