Of course no one! I got this message from an email. I know its common to see things on how to take care of ourselves but sometimes we almost forgot to do it because of our pretty busy day.
Here are some pointers that can somehow remind us all about on how it feels like to be so clean inside and out.
* Take a warm shower daily using a natural loaf and strong-smelling soap or pamper yourself with a beautiful scented shower gel. You can take a shower more than once a day according to your skin nature. You could also use anti-bacterial soap or cleanser with a moisture.
* Drink large amounts of water and fresh juice everyday.
* Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables everyday and avoid food that contains caffeine like chocolate, tea, coffee, along with pungent food, pastrami, and hilbah (fenugreek) seeds.
* Change your clothes when they get dirty, greasy, and full of sweat and wash them immediately; that includes what you wear indoors and outdoors and your sleeping gown/pajamas, and of course change your underwear daily.
* Remove your underarm hair on a regular basis.
* Use suitable kinds of deodorant directly after shower. They come in different forms, such as powder, cream, splash, and roll-on. First You have to be sure that it doesn't contain alcohol so as not to blacken your underarm. For girls especially, you can use natural fruit deodorants. They smell good and at the same time they are not very strong scented.
* Avoid synthetic clothes that are purely made of nylon and polyester. Exchange them with clothes made of cotton as it absorbs the sweat and does not cause dermatitis (skin inflammation). Or at least you can wear cotton underwear as it is the closest thing to your skin.
* Spraying perfume under your armpits won't hide the bad smell. Instead, It will react with sweat salts causing dermatitis, black and dark areas in the skin. Plus, alcohol evaporates real fast!
* If you're allergic to regular deodorants or don't like them, there's quite a wonderful natural option: crystal deodorant rock. It's very cheap and odorless, and it doesn't have any side effects. It can be found in herbal shops.

Stroke - S T R
I’ve read this email over and over again. It keeps on going around the network.
Though I already know the content, every time I read through the email, the value and good impression is still there. We can at least save someone’s life by knowing something about this simple steps to recognize a stroke.
------
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke . Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.
Drink water on empty stomach
Got this article forwarded by a friend.

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.
METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water,
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes,
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal,
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours, 5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure – 30 days
2. Gastric – 10 days
3. Diabetes – 30 days
4. Constipation – 10 days
5. Cancer – 180 days
6. TB – 90 days
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily.
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.
Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!
Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.
It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.
Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

Smoke caused wrinkles
Do you hang out in smoky places more than thrice a week? If so, do you know that its harmful to your skin as it triggers the release of wrinkle-causing free radicals because those clouds contain significant levels of nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide, a research from Tom Mammone executive director of Clinique biological research and development.
This article got from Cosmopolitan is very helpful to me since I’m one of those who encountered smoky places every time I got to work.
We can’t avoid smoky places or sharing airspace with smokers. It’s there lifestyle so we can’t do something about it. What we can do is to clean up when we get home to prevent more free-radical damage.

Do not ignore the signs of Breast Cancer
Sometimes we tend to ignore things that happened in our body.
We don’t care about it until we sense something odd or strange.
Breast Cancer is a cancer of the glandular breast tissue. This is fifth most common cause of cancer death.
You can check with below guidelines so you’ll know the actions that need to be done just in case you are one of them.
5 Strange Signs of Breast Cancer
1. Thickening near your armfit
If the skin on your upper corner of your chest (where it intersects with your armfit) feels thick or knotty, it could indicate a tumor that has spread to the nearby lymph nodes.
2. Scaling around the areola.
If any sections of the areola seems scaly or you notice a sore there that doesn’t heal after a few weeks, you may have a rare form of breast cancer called Paget’s disease.
3. A puckered texture
As a tumor grows in breast tissue, it can crowd out the ligaments that make skin firm and smooth, causing a dimpled creased appearance.
4. Changed in color
A reddish skin inflammation that appears on any part of your pair persists for more than a week, maybe a sign of the disease.
5. An inverted nipple.
While some women are born with one or both their nipples turned inward, one that suddenly retracts is a sign that a lump may be growing under the breast’s areola.

Looking sexy doesn't require a perfect body figure.
But to make it real though, workout and proper diet is needed.
Let's start faking it, here's simple trick shared to us by Cosmopolitan.
"Women in general have the tendency to slouch, making the puson stand out.
Quejada suggests keeping a good posture to help lenghten the torso this gives "a flatter appearance to the tummy region." Also, keeping your back straight and chin up make you appear more confident and way sexier than wearing a hot top. Start with this first faking tip and work on changing your lifestyle and redefining your workout regimen to make your fake flat puson a reality."

Eat your way to a Flatter Tummy
Most of the time, girls are so worried with their tummy especially when wearing fit blouses or dress. Here’s some tip how to eat your way to a flatter Puson from Cosmopolitan. This article doesn’t only apply to women, but gentle men also.
Eat the right food for that perfect shape!
1. Avoid salty and processed food.
Check food labels. Just because something doesn’t taste salty or sweet doesn’t mean that it isn’t high in belly bloaters (Sodium and Sugar)
2. Lay off the booze
Alcohol has a tendency to re-direct fat towards the midsection. “Research indicates that alcohol has the same effect as a magnet of a sponge for the abdominal region, wherein fat is accumulated more in the tummy instead of being spread out in the body. Notice how heavy drinkers have beer bellies despite their body size?” notes Quejada. Say no to carbonated drinks as well, which not only have a lot of sugar content, but can also instantly puff up your tummy.
3. Fill up on fiber
Not only do fiber-rich foods like fruits and veggies make you feel full, they also prevent constipation
4. Be Calorie conscious
Choose the source of your calories. Its not just how much you eat but how high the caloric content of your food that matters. Your caloric consumption and expenditure should cancel each other out, to avoid storing excess calories as fat , advises Quejada.
5. Don’t skip meals
This is the reason why starvation diets don’t work. Once you stop eating, your body sends a signal to your brain saying, “Hey, I don’t have much fuel left in me. You got to slow things down” Your metabolism slows down, burning even less than what you started with.
6. Eat five small meals
Have breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks in between. But you have to make sure that you eat smaller portions. This kind of diet will, in effect, speed up your metabolism.

Stop Office Pig-Outs
When we're busy at work, we sometimes don't care with the content of the food we eat as long as it's delicious and yummy. We even forget our conciousness in our body figure specially the ladies.
If you want not to get out of your figure, I have here some guides to stop office Pig-outs from Cosmopolitan.
1. Be a gazer
Boost your metabolism by eating a couple of small meals instead of a big lunch. "It'll prevent you from starving and overeating" says nutritionist Natalie Rosenstock.
2. Soak in sun
Exposure to sunlight ups your level of serotonin, a brain chemical that can suppress carb cravings. Nosh outside or eat near a window-just be sure to wear sunscreen.
3. Stake out dining spots
Research nearby take out places with low fat options."When your team's ordering food, you can suggest a healthy restaurant" says Rosenstock.
4. Avoid sugary cocktails
At happy hour, forget fruity drinks-they're loaded with calories. Opt for a glass of wine instead.
5. Put the pastry down and back away!
