Obesity in America
Obesity in America has been blamed on many different things; increased technology such as video games is one, as well as more fast food restaurants. However I do not believe that these are the only causes of such a large amount of obesity within the USA.The cause that gets mostly overlooked is the portrayal of men and women in society. Not video games or more fast food restaurants, but the way women and men are portrayed by the media, movies and television shows over the past decade.There are a few exceptions such as "The Parkers" or "Rosanne" but for the most part there is not an obese person on television who is in touch with the youth.When you walk outside and see a billboard of a sexy model in lingerie or turn on the television and see another underweight woman or go to the movies yet again to see a woman with large breasts and a small waist has to be a large contributor.Young men and women are forced to look like these models. The ones who can't do it end up getting depressed, which is a large factor in causing obesity.Forty percent of all Americans have been depressed sometime within their life. That is the most world wide, so it is easy to see why over a third of all Americans are overweight.
This is not just a fluke. Depression and obesity have been proven to be linked.Perhaps not all of the cases are caused by these fashion symbols, but it should not be dismissed as being a large contributor. This is the age of plastic surgery and breast enhancements, if a woman did not feel that she had to have these two things in order to be beautiful they would not be so popular. So what causes her to want this? Men and of course societies portrayal of women.This is not just a woman's problem however. Men are put under just as much scrutiny as women.
A man must be strong, well in shape, and not too fat or too skinny. They have to act a certain way, be tough and able to take charge. Some men just aren't this way and again end up with long term depression.Society must change as a whole in order for our children of this country to feel wanted and feel beautiful again..
Dealing With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
For those who experience it, post-traumatic stress disorder can be an incredibly debilitating disease that can prevent you from living a full life.
This disorder can bring back moments of severe stress so clearly that it is almost as though you are reliving the moment all over again.First diagnosed in war veterans, post-traumatic stress disorder was initially named "shell shock" then "battle fatigue".
However, by the time of the conflict in Vietnam, it was given the name "post-traumatic stress disorder" (PTSD) in order to give a clearer idea of what exactly is at work.
As well, it is not only found in war veterans.
In fact, it can be seen in people who were abused as children, rape victims, people who have to clean up after disaster, or anyone else who has undergone severe stress at any point in their lives.Unfortunately, the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder is still in its infancy.

Stay Young- Play Bingo!
Exercise, intellectual stimulation, surgery, meditation or detox ? you name it, we love it. Let's face it, we live in a society obsessed with staying young. So, when you mention to someone that bingo may well be a key to youth, the image of pensioners playing in a retirement home may well prompt them to ask a few questions. It's not chess or bridge, but researchers insist that bingo can keep your mind trim and bring more to your youthfulness than just cash prizes and idle chitchat. Bingo players who have been playing bingo for a sustained period of time have been found to have superior reflexes in many cases to non-bingo players.
The speed and mental agility required to scan six bingo cards in time before the next call is certainly better than stagnating in front of the television and has been responsible for keeping the minds of many people of different ages fit and healthy. As we get older, the blood begins to run at a thinner rate to the brain. Using our brains less can result...

A Rose is not Just a Rose
The rose is perhaps one of the most powerful symbols in the metaphysical world. It is also one of the most accessible tools that can be used for everyday magic. The gift of a rose is also one of the simplest ways to say, "I love you" without too much hocus-pocus. The thorns on its stems represent the "prick" of love and the overcoming of obstacles to achieve your desires. It is the pinnacle of metaphorical purity and symbolizes completion and perfection.The element associated with the rose is Water, so it is particularly friendly to the astrological signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
Both Mercury and Venus rule this flower. A bath in rose petals or rose water (which is distilled from the buds) is said to attract love to the bathing beauty. An ancient custom is to sprinkle the bed of newly weds with rose petals to sweeten the initial carnal relations. In ancient alchemical formulas the red rose is used as a masculine principle and the rose represents the feminine or receptive...
