Quality of Sleeping for a Happy Baby

Does your baby usually revealing a sullen face and inclined to be fussy, when woke up in the morning? A baby who is getting out of bed without a smile, can be categorized as an unhappy baby. If the condition continues to recur, it would affect the babys growth conditions.

Sleep is an optimal process for children growth, especially for the development of brain cells. A baby aged 0 to 6 month will spend all day in their bed, and you shouldnt disturb your babys sleeping time. A baby is usually woke up from sleep at night for 3 to 5 times, or even more. This is because of babys ability is not able to distinguish the time, whether its a day or night. A baby aged below 3 months old cant see very well, due to babys eyes are still on the developing process. So, turn off your cameras flash, when you want to take picture of your baby. Flash light from your camera, especially a xenon flash, will hurt your babys eyes.

Based on my experience with my children, when my elder daughter aged a month old, she slept with room lights on at night. Because when I turned off the lights, suddenlly she woke up and cried immediately. Fortunately, I was helped for a full month by my favorite TV show, a live broadcast of World Cup 2006 soccer match.

This didnt apply on the second month. At the age of 2 months, I tried to teach my daughter to distinguish between day and night, also taught her to sleep well at night. Every time she woke up crying, my wife and I had never lifted her up from the bed, or even carried her out from my bedroom. Enough with the breast-fed by my wife, she then went back to sleep. Its just the same when she was pooping and peeing. I purposely didnt get to put disposable diapers on my daughter, especially at night.

The result was, she had managed to distinguish between day and night, when she was 3 months old. When she woke up in the morning, she were always showing a smile. She also rarely cry at night. But if she did, once upon a time, she cried for almost an hour without stopping. The incident was repeated until 3 times, it happened when she was aged under 6 months old. Older people once said to me that if a baby cries endlessly, it can be caused by disruption of the delicate creatures, such superstitious beliefs, but its true.

The 1st Kiss
Sidoarjo, Indonesia, January 23, 2008. 2 days old Michael got his 1st kiss from his sister.

When Michael was born, since the age of 1 day, he slept with room lights off. Wait a minute..!? You may wonder? How come my son could get home on the day after my wife gave birth on him? My wife gave birth on both of my children, were not in a hospital, but in midwifes home clinic. The day Michael was born, I carried my wife to the clinic at 5 am, and Michael was born at 9 am. At 4 pm on the same day, they both were allowed to go home by the midwife.

Why did a day old Michael could able to sleep with room lights off at night? It all because of his elder sister, who aged 20 months, was already used to sleeping with the lights off. My daughter woke up instantly at midnight, when suddenly I turned on the light to change her brothers diaper.

I can ensure you that both of my children are categorized to be happy babies, in which the characteristics are:

  • Always smile when wake up in the morning.
  • Wake up at night less than 4 times.
  • When your babys waking up in the middle of the night, will be able to go back to sleep again.

The quality and quantity of sleeping for children will determine the level of their emotion and intellect. Children aged under 5 years old should have at least 9 hours of sleeping at night. You should avoid putting a TV in your childs bedroom, it will reduce your childs sleeping time.

Siberian Russian Ginseng Eleuthero and Menopause


Siberian Ginseng is not actually called Ginseng at all in the modern scientific literature to avoid confusion and mix-up with real Ginseng (Panax Ginseng and American Ginseng). Eleutherococcus senticosus is only distantly related to the true ginseng species and possesses entirely different, unrelated chemical constituents. However, it is still called Russian or Siberian ginseng in the popular literature and public websites. The origin of this misnomer lies in the work of a Soviet scientist, Israel Brekhman, who believed that eleutherococcus has the same properties as ginseng, and popularized it as a less-expensive alternative herb.

According to Brekhman, eleutherococcus and ginseng are both adaptogens . This term refers to a hypothetical treatment defined as follows: An adaptogen should help the body adapt to stresses of various kinds, whether heat, cold, exertion, trauma, sleep deprivation, toxic exposure, radiation, infection, or psychological stress. Furthermore, an adaptogen should cause no side effects, be effective in treating a wide variety of illnesses, and help return an organism toward balance no matter what may have gone wrong.

Perhaps the only indisputable example of an adaptogen is a healthful lifestyle. By eating right, exercising regularly, and generally living a life of balance and moderation, you will increase your physical fitness and ability to resist illnesses of all types. Brekhman felt certain that both eleutherococcus and ginseng produced similarly universal benefits.

Eleuthero and Menopause Symptoms

Siberian Ginseng is known remedy to relieve menstrual disorders and menopausal symptoms. It may positively affect Hormone levels works to stabilize hormone levels and tone the large uterine muscle. Also eleuthero is used in much the same way to stimulate the endocrine gland and also assimilate vitamins and minerals.

As with other natural remedies, the effects of Siberian Ginseng can vary between individuals.  Diet, exercise, lifestyle and other medication all play a role in determining the effects of ginseng on an individual. However, Vanderbilt University has published results from years of research indicating the potential of Siberia Ginseng for women going through menopause.  Here are some of the ways ginseng is helping women.

* Relief from Hot Flashes. Between 60% and 85% of menopausal women experience hot flashes, some as often as 20 times a day!  These hot flashes are often accompanied by heart palpitations, anxiety, and vertigo. Scientific research shows that Siberian Ginseng offers relief to women suffering from hot flashes.  Physiologically, this happens because ginseng stimulates production of a hormone that can lower body temperature.
* Relief from insomnia. Although often used as a stimulant to battle fatigue, Siberian Ginseng can also serve the opposite role of fighting insomnia. Many menopausal women suffer from insomnia or interrupted sleep, often caused by nighttime hot flashes.  This lack of sleep can cause numerous other problems including irritability, lack of mental focus, poor memory, and general fatigue.
* Effects on Hormone Levels. Many symptoms of menopause are instigated by a sharp reduction in estrogen levels, leading many women to seek estrogen replacement therapy.  Reports indicate that Siberian ginseng might actually have many of the same properties as estrogen. 
* Mood Elevation.Numerous animal studies show that ginseng’s effects on the body result in an enhanced mood.  Studies on mid-aged women 40-60 years old also showed significant improvement in concentration, feelings of vitality, productivity, and mood.

Other Health Benefits

Siberian ginseng contains remarkable compounds that favorably affect the adrenal glands, the small glands that rest atop the kidneys and secrete stress-fighting hormones. Taking the herb is believed to boost the bodys capacity to handle physical stresses ranging from heat exposure to extreme exertion. Resistance to disease increases as well. So does ones overall energy level.

Specifically, Siberian ginseng may help to:

* Prevent stress-related illnesses. Several studies have shown that Siberian ginseng can increase a persons resistance to physical stresses. In a series of landmark Russian studies in the 1960s, 2,100 healthy adults (19 to 72 years old) given Siberian ginseng were shown to better handle stressful conditions. Specifically, they experienced an increased ability to perform physical labor, withstand motion sickness, and work with speed and precision despite being surrounded by noise. They could also proofread documents more accurately and more readily adapt to such physical stresses such as heat, high altitudes, and low-oxygen environments. Siberian ginseng may also help boost people’s immunity if their immune systems are already compromised. A study on women undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer found that in the 4 weeks after chemo treatment various measures of cellular immunity were improved.
* Relieve chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia. Because Siberian ginseng bolsters the adrenal glands, its worth trying to relieve the exhaustion and muscle pain associated with these energy-depleting conditions. A study of 96 chronic fatigue sufferers found that Siberian ginseng may be efficacious for people suffering from moderate CFS.
* Combat fatigue and restore energy. Siberian ginseng is popular for invigorating and fortifying the body. It appears to boost energy levels in people suffering from acute or constant exhaustion. Those recovering from an illness or weary from a heavy work schedule may also benefit from its energy-boosting and immune-enhancing powers.
* Increase male and female fertility and reduce male impotence. By supporting healthy uterine function, Siberian ginseng may be useful in preventing female infertility. Males may experience an increased sperm count (rotate it with Panax ginseng for this purpose). Animal studies indicate that the herb can even boost testosterone levels and thus help reverse certain cases of male impotence.
* Treat Alzheimers disease. Siberian ginseng may increase mental alertness, particularly in the early stages of this progressive disorder. The herbs ability to boost the transmission of nerve impulses may also enhance memory. A recent small randomized controlled study found that some aspects of mental and social functioning in the elderly improved after treatment with ginseng after only four weeks.
* Combat free-radical damage and some forms of cancer. Scientists have been able to show that Siberian ginseng has a cytotoxic (cell killing) effect on some cancer cell lines in laboratory studies. These preliminary results still need to be investigated in animal and human models, so the chances of seeing Siberian ginseng be touted as a effective cancer treatment is still years away.
* Increase resistance to colds and flu. Historically, the Chinese have found Siberian ginseng to be effective in suppressing colds and flu. The herbs immune-enhancing powers may play a role. Recent studies have found that Siberian ginseng is a helpful to ease upper respiratory tract infections and sinusitis.

Dosage  

Buy Siberian ginseng extracts from a company with a reputation for quality. Products should be standardized to contain at least 0.8% eleutherosides (the active ingredients).

* For stress: Take 100 to 200 mg three times a day. Special "adrenal gland" formulas now on the market commonly contain Siberian ginseng in combination with licorice, pantothenic acid, and other stress-fighting ingredients.
* For fatigue (and chronic fatigue syndrome), female infertility, Alzheimers disease, fibromyalgia, and the majority of other conditions mentioned: Take 100 to 300 mg twice a day for 60 to 90 days, and then take a seven-day break before resuming treatment.
* For male infertility and impotence: Take l00 to 300 mg twice a day. For infertility, rotate every three weeks with 100 to 250 mg Panax ginseng standardized to contain 7% ginsenosides (the active ingredient). For impotence, rotate every two weeks.
* For colds and flu: Take 300 mg twice a day for seven to 10 days.

Safety Issues  

According to studies performed primarily in the former Soviet Union, Eleutherococcus appears to present a low order of toxicity in both the short- and long-term. Human trials have not resulted in any significant side effects. Safety in pregnant or nursing women, young children, or people with severe liver or kidney disease is not known.

One report suggests that Eleutherococcus may alter the results of a test for the medication digoxin.

Siberian Ginseng should not be taken if you have:
* high blood pressure.
* narcolepsy (frequent day time sleeping).
* obstructive sleep apnea (repeated, prolonged periods when breathing stops while sleeping.

Best beauty cream formula for Skin Whitening and removing Pimples

When I had teen age acne, some one from family recommended me a very nice mixture of creams. It not only cleared my face but also improved my skin tone and lightened my color so i call it beauty cream formula. Its been 10 years now I am using it and referring it to almost all of my friends and relatives and rarely heard of any skin reaction. Thats the reason that right after covering the basics of skin care in my blog, I cant stop myself sharing this magical mixture instead of writing reviews about popular brands.




You will need following very commonly available creams:
  • Fair and lovely

  • Arche cream
 
  •  Stillmans Bleach cream
  • Stillmans Freckle cream

  • Betnovate cream

  •  Vitamin C Facial Radiance Capsules
  
  

Procedure:

Take a slightly bigger jar or used washed bottle such as the one shown below:
Add one big tube of Fair and lovely cream , one standard size Arche cream, one Stillmens bleach cream and one Stillmens freckle cream, half Betnovate cream (remaining half you can apply directly to your pimples if you have any in stead of wasting) and two capsules of Vitamin C Facial Radiance.
Mix them thoroughly with a plastic stirrer. The mixture does not look good might not merge completely and shows some pores never mind.
Take some amount in your palm and now you can mix this completely and apply to your face. It almost make a thick white mask.




Precaution: Betnovate will thin the skin over time if used regularly, making it more prone to breaking so I always recommend to add small portion of it only because its best for soaking pimples.

Best time to apply:
The best time is before going to bed and after cleansing you can apply this and have good beauty sleep. In the start you can lap the mixture fully over your face like you do with your bleach and sleep like this. If it suits you you can massage it fully before sleeping.


This is exactly how I was told and I used and found it real amazing. Now with in 10 years i have made some changes... thats up to you if you like you can add also...

There are many brands of Yoko creams available in the market you can also add them one , two or all what ever suits best.


All these creams are very cheap. The whole formula will cost you even less then 50$. Do give it a try. It a very small blog and am not being paid for any of the product i mentioned above nor I am selling anything. So if you are really looking for something that you can stick around for skin whitening and removing pimples......... do try this.
Just to be safe always apply on small portion of your wrist or back of the neck for some day regularly and see if your skin gives any reaction or anything. 

Good Luck....
