Adjustable Beds Promote Natural, Comfortable Sleep

What are the advantages of an adjustable sleep bed over a normal one? Theanswers are multiple. You know, for every problem there's also a solution.That's what an adjustable sleep bed offers for people who suffer from differentconditions or for those who want to prevent those conditions from everhappening.Did it ever happen to you not to be able to sleep at night? The best guess isthat it happened because of your bed. When you are not able to fall asleep, youkeep turning around from one side to another, on your back or on your belly.That's because your body tries to avoid pressure points which reduce the bloodflow and cause you discomfort.Moreover, the traditional bed mattresses are flat, and guess what? That's incontradiction with your spinal alignment. A lot of the traditional backillnesses are made worse by the traditional beds and mattresses.So what's the most natural and comfortable sleeping position? You will probablybe a little bit surprised to find out that it's not at all the traditional onein which a normal bed would make you sleep. The head should be elevated just alittle bit, thus allowing for easier breathing. Even more important seems to bethe knees position, which must be slightly bent over the heart's level. Now thisis the natural sleeping position and you might find it a little strange.But that's the purpose of an adjustable sleep bed, to enable you to sleep in anatural, comfortable position. One of today's most important concerns seems tobe the health issue, and that only seems normal. Eating natural products,practicing sports and other healthy things seem to be more and more on everyperson's agenda.An adjustable sleep bed could also be the answer towards avoiding differentconsequences of unnatural sleeping positions. For example, did you know thatback problems, snoring, shoulder pains, breathing problems, gastric reflux,blood circulation problems, and arthritis could all be the consequences ofunhealthy sleeping habits? In the long run, these could even get aggravated andoffer you some very unpleasant surprises. And it's far better to prevent than totreat.So what does an adjustable sleep bed actually offer? Well, it can be bestdefined as a personalized mattress. Yes, that's right, because you have anadjustable base and a mattress. The mattress needs to perfectly fit over thesleep base. Sleep bases are not all the same, they come in different shapes,sizes and adjusting positions. One thing is certain though. They are far morerecommendable than traditional beds.Now, everything I told you may come as a surprise to some and be old news toothers. One thing is clear though: the traditional bed is hardly the best optionfor sleeping. You know, some may say, Oh, it doesn't really matter, it's justsleeping, it's not important. This is very wrong.Just think about it. A normal adult person has to sleep about 8 hours a day.Depending on each person's constitution, it may also be seven or nine hours aday, but certainly not less than seven. So you will agree with me that everyperson has to spend a third of his or her life sleeping. To me, it sounds verymuch. We all could do better things with that time, but it's a necessity that wecan't be deprived of or else we couldn't function normally. So, if this is thecase, why neglect the way in which we live 33 percent of our lives? Why sleep ina traditional bed when we can sleep in a far more health-oriented adjustablesleep bed?Tips, guidelines and advice on purchasing adustable beds.http://www.adjustablesleepbeds.comMore information on electrical adjustable bedshttp://www.electricaladjustablebed.com

Choosing The Right Aerobic Wear - A Tight-Fitting Guide

Do you enjoy some healthy sweating? Do you participate inaerobics? If so, did you know that the wrong aerobic wear canadversely affect your workout? I bet the chance of an ignorantnod is half-half. Many people are unaware of the fact thataerobic wear is an essential part of the aerobic workout, andwhen the wrong attire is worn, discomfort and irritation mayoccur, hampering the exercise's progress. Now let me give you aquick overview of what to look out for when shopping foraerobics clothing. First things first. It is absolutely necessary to purchasepieces that fit loosely and allow for free airflow. If you arewearing tight, binding aerobic wear, your movements are likelyto be severely limited and make the exercising ineffective. Ifyour size is M, choose M. Don't opt for an S which will makeyou look like a poor sausage. Some people like to just throw on a sweat suit and head out forexercise class, and this is fine since this type of aerobic wearis lightweight, loose fitting and made from breathable material.However, if you prefer to leave the house looking posh andfashionable, even when the aerobics class three blocks away isyour destination, there is a variety of aerobic wear to choosefrom that will add an element of style to your workout. This type of active wear is available in many designs, as wellas a wide array of colors and designs. An afternoon visit to amajor sporting goods store will take you through many aisles ofavailable aerobic wear. Items available to add to your work outwardrobe include shirts, shorts, pants, tank shirts and shoesall made from free- airflow material which makes you feel verycomfortable during the workout. When shopping, don't forget about the shoes. The shoes areextremely important! Good aerobic wear shoes should fit well,but not be too snug. There are shoes especially made to be wornfor aerobics, and while they may swing a bit to the costly side,the investment is worth it considering that it will save youfrom suffering in pain in the middle of your exercise. If you happen to be a common size, the Internet has plenty tooffer in this arena. Many of the online vendors offer "buy oneget one free" specials, as well as free shipping. Why wastegasoline and walk for hours when you can sit cozily in yourchair and shop for your aerobic wear online? It can be purchased separately as individual pieces, or isavailable in two and three piece outfits. Buying pieces singlyallows you to mix and match your favorite colors, but if youare not sure how to coordinate colors you'd better get a set.Aerobic wear sets feature tops with matched bottoms, andsometimes a matching, lightweight jacket. A few good pieces inneutral colors will allow you to periodically add new items ofaerobic wear as used pieces become too worn to be functional. The clothing you wear when exercising does not have to beboring, nor does it have to cost a fortune. With just anafternoon of shopping, you should be able to bring home anentire wardrobe of stylish, economical aerobic wear that willkeep you on your toes!About The Author: http://www.top-entertainment-news.comprovides readers with the latest reviews, articles,commentaries and write-ups on all entertainment, music, moviesand http://www.latest-entertainment-news.com

Lose Weight, Quit Smoking, Make A Personal Change. The Secret Formula That Guarantees Success!

One of the presuppositions of NLP (Neuro-LinguisticProgramming) is that there is a positive intention behind allbehaviors. And based on that presupposition, when it comes tosuccessfully eliminating negative behaviors, there is formulathat we must always keep in mind. I'll let you in on the secretin a minute. But first, I have a riddle for you to solve. Riddle: A minister made his son drink lye, which burned out hisvocal chords. What was the positive intention behind hisbehavior? If you are like 99.9% of the clients who have come into myoffice since 1978, you'll indignantly say something like:There's no positive intention behind that behavior. But youwould be 100% wrong. To answer this riddle, first you have toseparate the behavior from the positive intention of thebehavior. The minister's son was cursing. And the minister believes thatif a person curses, his soul will be condemned to Hell. So theanswer is that the minister was burning out his son's voice boxso that he couldn't curse. So he was saving his son's soul frombeing condemned to Hell. The secret formula for success works as follows: We must always respect the positive intent behind everybehavior. If we have a compulsion to use a behavior that wedon't like, we can easily get rid of the compulsion to use thatbehavior providing we find another behavior to substitute init's place that is as effective and available at accomplishingthe same outcome, but is more consciously acceptable to you.This is called a REFRAME. When clients come into my office, one of the first things thatI do is to take a through case history. Let's say that theycome in and ask me to help them overcome their appetite.Conventional wisdom tells us that the two main reasons thatpeople eat excessively are: (1) For relaxation and pleasure; (2) Because eating can be a conditioned response. For instance,if a person eats while they are watching TV, they will develop aconditioned response, and thereafter, every time they sit downto watch TV, they'll get cravings and an urge to eat. However, the above answer only takes into consideration thepossible positive intention behind the eating behavior. What ifthey also have another behavior that is involved in theequation? For example: What if being fat is also a behavior forthis person? I can hear your mind grinding right now as youthink, Being fat isn't a behavior, what are you talking about?" Sorry but you could be 100% wrong. Here is one simple classictext book example that will illustrate the fact that being fatcan be a behavior. It can be a behavior because it canaccomplish positive outcomes. Example: A woman is deeply in love. Her boyfriend breaks upwith her, and breaks her heart. Her unconscious mind wants toprotect her emotionally and prevent her from having her heartbroken again. So it motivates her to get fat to keep her out ofrelationships. That way she won't get her heart broken again.The point is that everyone is totally different. And sometimesthere are hidden elements at work causing compulsive behaviors.These are elements that are different for each person. Here is another example: A woman comes into my officecomplaining of an uncontrollable urge to overeat at dinnertime. During my case history, upon questioning, the womanexplains how she was never been able to satisfy her father. We did an age regression, and one of her earliest memories wasof eating dinner with the family. And dad was insisting in avery loud voice that she clean her plate, even though she wasfull. So she cleaned her plate out of fear, and dad commendedher for eating everything. It was one of the only times in herlife that she could recall her dad telling her that he washappy with her. Shoot forward to present day. Dad's been dead for years, butthe unconscious program he installed is still working. Shestill has a compulsion to clean her plate, even if she isfeeling stuffed, because by cleaning the plate she is gettingdad's approval, and eliminating her fear! So if you are having a problem making personal changes, keep inmind that there is a positive intention behind all behaviors.And keep in mind "The secret formula for success." 2006 By Alan B.
