Tu y el Alcohol!

Posted on by

El alcohol es la droga mas usada y tomada en exceso. El Alcohol se considera la droga mortal por excelencia. Es asi porque afecta tu cuerpo de multiples maneras. Afecta tu cerebro causando dano irreparable. Dana tu corazon directamente. Al beber alcohol el riesgo de tener hipertension o alta presion sanguinea aumenta. Cuando esto sucede puedes tu sufrir una embolia cerebral, paralizandose asi el lado derecho o el lado izquierdo o ambos lados del cuerpo. Los pulmones tambien pueden ser afectadosc cuando al beber en exceso la circulacion del oxigeno se vuelve floja y lenta porque la respiracion es tan lenta que hasta puede cesar.
Hay otros danos que puede causar el alcohol, son viejicimos y muy conocidos como lo son la destruccion del higado y la supresion del sistema inmunologico; cuando esto ocurre te torna en persona propensa a enfermedades. La verdad es que no podemos vivir sin el higado, porque el higado tiene muchas funciones que son vitales. El higado filtra muchas de las sustancias que ingerimos, ayuda para que nuestro cuerpo se deshaga de sustancias nocivas. Tambien nos ayuda a mantener nuestro cuerpo saludable, por medio de la produccion de bilis que emlea el intestino delgado para digerir y absorber las grasas.

El detalle es que al tomar alcohol en exceso estas danando tu cuerpo, el higado que es uno de tus mejores amigos en el cuerpo, este se convierte en algo parecido a la gelatina y no puede ya servirte,el resultado es la destruccion de las celulas hepaticas o las celulas del higado. A fin de cuentas las celulas son destruidas por la malnutricion debido al alcohol o por ambas cosas.

Alimentate bien y evita el exceso.

Alcohol and you.

Alcohol is the most abused drug in the world. There is no question about this fact. Alcohol abuse is not only a problem for the young but also for the aged. Alcohol is considered the most deadly drug, because it affects the human body in many ways. It affects your brain by causing damage that could never be repaired. It affects the heart, by directly affecting the muscle. By drinking alcohol the risk of hypertension is increased, the sequel is  a stroke. Your lungs are also affected, oxygen is not able to be circulated and used due to respiratory depression.
If you are interested in having children and you are a male, you must be cognizant about the fact that alcohol damages cells in the testes, or if you are simply interested in having sex, alcohol causes impotence and sterility. If you are a woman it also can affect your sex life, unpredictable menstrual cycles, ovaries malfunction. What is the saddest thing is that when a woman gets pregnant the risk of having a child with fetal alcohol syndrome is very high. Furthermore alcohol can and it does hurt the liver. As you already know the liver is responsible for filtering alcohol from your blood. Alcohol literally kills the liver, by poisoning  liver cells, the sequel is cirrhosis of the liver. When drinking alcohol your body is unable to fight infection, due to weakened immune system.

A wise man wrote  the Proverb stating that wine is a mocker and beer a brawler, and the one who allows to be led by them is not wise. If you are a parent, set a good example to your children, do not drink alcohol, which leads to debauchery. You and I must strive to live good, excellent, virtuous lives( Be filled with the Spirit, not by “spirits”).

Health and Life vs Disease and Death!

After reading this post, your life can not remain the same. First of all you are your own boss, when it comes to what kinds of things you eat, and drink. You are also your own boss when it comes to your body’s activity level. Life is about choices made and to be made, and progressively being made. In parenthesis once you reach the point of death, you have no more choices, it is irreversible.  Today is the day you can make a difference in your own life, you might not know it but you are very important to those around you. Your choices do affect others, they can turn into a cascade of events that modify other individuals lives, for the better or for the worse.

Choosing the right foods for your body, keeps your body healthy, it can give you clarity of thought. It is nature’s way to give you your reward. Rewards are not punishments, they are considered consequences. I like the idea of a good consequence, thus a good reward.

To have good health, we must walk the walk, not just talk the talk. If we do not have good habits  and we disregard the  critical principles of health by overeating, drinking the wrong things, dressing inappropriately for the weather, working without a deserved rest, we can not blame God or others for our diseases and near death events.

Take  time to with a critical eye, examine your actions or choices, know that good health can not be bought with money, other things in life you can not buy, and those are: true friends, time and much searched peace of mind.

What’s in your head?

Your brain! Your brain is important to you. Cultivate your brain to help your brain function better.
When riding a bicycle or a motorcycle wear a helmet.
Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, mindful of protein and carbohydrate balance.
Fight the ANT’s ( automatic negative thoughts).
Actively focus on the things your heart is grateful for today.
Watch a feel good movie such  as Nannie McPhee.
Use your time wisely, spend time with those you want to emulate, preferably positive uplifting and productive people.
Keep your brain cool by getting enough sleep and rest. A cool brain is a good brain.
Remember that what you say to others must be in a loving, helpful manner.
Help someone else build an amazing library of wonderful experiences.
When you talk to other individuals establish eye contact and smile as appropriate. Use appropriate touch when touching others. Learning a new word or a new skill to enhance your memory is great for your brain.

What should you avoid? Avoid alcohol, smoke, too much caffeine when pregnant if you are a woman.
Avoid hitting a soccer ball with your head. Avoid banging your head against the wall. Avoid blaming other people for your problems. Something you must avoid is saying yes or no to others before finding out what they are looking for. You must know what they want first, does it fit with your goals?

Your brain  is a delicate and amazing master piece of design, you must take good care of it.

Experiencing money challanges?

More ways to save money. Recently I was reading in the “Penny Saver” more ways to save money, one interesting way I found is using coupons if you are recycling bottles and cans; to add to your savings coupons have been posted for you, with the various recycling center locations where you can bring your recyclable cans, bottles and even newspapers to the recycling center when you turn in your cans and plastic bottles. Check it out. You will be able to get more money for your items.

One more way to save money in a big way is to shop around if you are in need of auto parts. Usually auto parts are more expensive if you get them from the auto dealer, because the company has so much overhead to cover. I have bought from stores like Auto Zone, they are usually pretty good at saving you money, sometimes by 60%. If you know a good mechanic who is honest and can give you a reasonable price for his or her labor, you can save a bundle of money. For instance if your car is leaking oil and you find out that you need to change the oil pan, some dealers sell the oil pan for more than 100.00 dollars, the auto-parts store sells it for less than 50%. You just have to do your homework, this way your buck will buy more, and you will be able to meet the challenge. It sure helps decrease your stress level, if you can save money!

It is very painful when you have to pay 600.00 dollars for something that can be done for 125.00 dollars.
