Flu and Post Nasal Drip

 There are a few things that happens to me that I absolutely dislike. That is to be hit by flu. Somehow it happens to me almost every 'cold' seasons or spells which coincide with rain in the evening. It is already hot over here almost the whole year round.Somehow, in the month of March onwards, it seems to enjoy a spell of rainy evening and temperature could be a bit more cool compared to the rest of the year.

My problem is of course with the flu like symptom that I have, especially PND which causes the mucus from nose to flow at the back of my throat causing crazy itch on my throat that I'll cough whenever I try to talk. This will continue for months and I have yet to find the perfect cure for it. I have tried numerous stuff but below is a list of pointers for those who have the same problem as I do
1. Do not take milk or milk derived substance (as it causes the gathering of mucus on throat and cause to cough more)
2. Do not take cough drop as it causes you to cough more
3. Do not expose to further air conditioning. Keep warm.
4. Drink more water, have more ginger and anything that reduce the mucus creation. Clarinase being a good anti histamine to start with, but you can't just consume it all the time.
5. Rest well.

If you have anyway to get me out of my pain, do let me know.


~~ No matter what, my life is not determine by its circumstances.

Exercise is always a do-it-yourself (DIY) venture. No other person and no machine can do it for you. Hence, it is important to have those motivating factors so that a person who is into exercise in order to lose weight will hang about. This is what people who are overweight should learn to understand. However, even if it so easy to set for instructions and easy to follow, this is not the same case for almost 35% of Americans who are unable to prevent being overweight. And elsewhere all over the world, the number is increasing because of the type of food and lifestyle that we are in. Of course, once we are overweight, we usually want to trim down for a whole lot of reasons, some related to physical condition and fitness, while others would want to enhance their physique and appearance. And it is never too late to be fit.

In the past 50 to 75 years, physical activity has become the exception rather than the rule, both at home and on the job. People tend to drive where others once walked. People tend to flick a switch and machines do the hauling, lifting, pushing, and pulling for them. However, people who try to lose weight tend to believe that weight gain is likely to happen if they will not take forward-looking steps to stop it. The point here is that health experts believe that people lose their way, especially when it comes to dieting. They tend to go back to their old eating habits even after they learn to enjoy low-fat eating. They tend to return to sedentary ways even though they enjoy exercising.

Despite the momentum toward weight gain, you can stop it from happening, experts say. And there are plenty of good reasons to avoid excess pounds, reasons that go beyond vanity or social appearance. There are many reasons in order to keep you motivated to exercise and stay healthy for the rest of your life.

Ways to Lose Weight and Maintaining Motivation to Exercise

1. Have an explicit goal

A simple statement like, “I want to lose some weight,” is an ambiguous and an indefinite statement. It will not the least motivate you to start doing exercises right away. What is important is to be precise on your goals. It would be better if you will set some detailed amount of pounds that you really want to lose. Envisage yourself what you will look like after reaching your desired weight. Doing this will inspire you to lose weight. In fact, maybe even more than what you have planned in mind. The idea is to use that figure to assist you to remain resilient and dedicated.

2. Develop a strategy

Strength of will does not work alone! To lose weight and stay with it, your strategy must comprise of both exercise and diet, and not either of the two. Try to start motivating yourself by throwing away your clothes that have bigger sizes. This will put you in a situation where you only have your sexy clothes and that you have to make a choice by staying motivated to exercise or not wear any clothes at all. Which do you prefer?

3. Make out little, calculable measures

Put into practice actions that will suit your lifestyle. This means you have to implement moves that you and you alone will benefit from it and not somebody else. The idea here is to opt for a more positive and attainable goal and not just to shun away from being plump and chubby.

4. Produce monitoring that has an important effect

It would be better to have somebody willing to take note of your progress or development. This will inspire you to keep on doing what you have started. Having somebody to listen to your achievements is definitely a better prize than just achieving your goal alone. Besides, having an extra hand to support you and cheer for you when things start to fall short. It is that simple way of hearing somebody believing on what you do is one of the greatest motivations to keep you exercising for more.

5. Construct a vigorous, sensible time-line

What do you plan to achieve in a year? Try to suit your objectives to your calendar, and do not look forward to see the results in just a snap. The bottom line is that in order to stay motivated to exercise entails a lot of hard work, which is contrary to what most people tend to think. The main idea is to let people change their lifestyle because it is only through this way that they will absolutely change their weight for the better.


~~ No matter what, my life is not determine by its circumstances.

Have patience with all things, but first of all with yourself.

A farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends.

The longest journey is the journey of self discovery.

There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.

Kind words are the music of the world.
