How to Grow Tall - Easy Fixes

"How to grow tall?"-this is the main question of many people who find themselves stuck in their pre-teen height. Most people would like to improve their height because this will make them more attractive especially among the opposite sex while others would like a taller body to open up opportunities that calls for a height requirement.

Although others would dig facts from books and other stuffs, the truth is that we should not exhaust ourselves to do things that are beyond our physical means. Truth is, it is easy for us to increase our height and it is through proper posture.

Furthermore, studies revealed that half of American populations are suffering from weight issues. Others call it as their beer belly, love handles, or whatever they would like to call it but this will lead them to the issue of big tummy because of obesity. Unimaginable as it may seem but the truth is that the problem of obesity will make the spine work overtime which can lead to arched back in the end. If you suffer from the condition of hunched back, you will stop yourself from thinking how to grow tall because you had almost failed to accomplish your height goal. This condition can highly lessen your maximum height which is why it is vital to consider the tips below to attain proper posture at all times:

Like a baby who had to crawl before he starts to walk, you also had the need to understand how to stand up properly before you even start walking properly. To distinguish if you are doing the right thing, take some time to look at yourself in a mirror and see if your posture is good. Also, you can stand up with your back placed against the wall. Your head should be parallel with the ground while your stomach muscles are contracted. These processes will help you to distinguish how bad your posture is.

Another quick tip on how to grow tall is to see to it that you keep a correct posture when you are walking. It is needed that your body is aligned properly from head to foot. Keep your head paralleled into the ground while you keep your chin raised high. The chest must be outward and the shoulders upward. If you can't analyze the right way of walking then the easiest thing to do is to think just how you are going to carry yourself if ever you are confident about something, well that is the right way to walk.

Walking rightly is not the only trick to learn on how to grow tall because you should be wise enough to know how to sit accurately. When sitting, the back must be straight and it ought to be perpendicular to the floor. If you have the money to spare, you can even buy yourself an "ergonomic" chair which will permit you to actually kneel rather than sit.

By this time when you know the right manners on how to grow tall, be sure to practice them into your life. A big difference is expected later on.

What Everyone Should Know About Tonsillectomy

Tonsils are one of the most misunderstood structures in the throat, not only by patients, but by many doctors as well. Traditional teaching states that tonsils are glands in the throat that help to fight infection. Because they are blamed for most cases of repeated throat infections, tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed operations in the United States. As I'll reveal in the remainder of this article, many tonsillectomies today are being performed unnecessarily. Simultaneously, there are too many tonsils still left in place when in fact they should be removed. Here's the reason why.

What Are Tonsils?

Before I can clear up the contradictory statement above, I must first explain what tonsils are and what they do to merit removal, if at all.

Tonsils are lymphoid tissue, like glands in your neck, armpits or groins. They are part of the immune system and are involved in learning what's foreign and helping to make antibodies to help fight off infections. In young children, lymphoid tissues are very sensitive and can become greatly enlarged even after a simple cold or infection. If you have young children, I'm sure you're familiar with their complaints of sore throats whenever they have colds.

It's also important to note, however, that tonsils can swell up not only after viral or bacterial infections, but also from allergies and acid reflux. Any degree of irritation or inflammation can cause the tissues to swell up. This is normal, and will happen to various degrees in people after any type of infection, irritation or inflammation. As such, not all complaints of a sore throat are viral or bacterial in origin. There are many factors for an inflamed tonsil-this is the reason why antibiotics are not as effective in curing sore throats.

What Do Tonsils Do?

Tonsils are part of Waldeyer's ring, which is a complete circle of lymphoid tissue that is made up of both tonsils in the side walls of your throat, the adenoids, which are in the midline back of your nose, and your lingual tonsil, which is located at the base of your tongue in the midline. In some cases, you'll see small connections between all four glands, forming a complete circle. Anything that you breathe in or swallow has to go through this "ring", so that the body can learn what's coming into the body. This process is most active around ages 3 to 6.

It's common knowledge what happens when your tonsils become infected: your throat hurts, you have a fever, your neck glands hurt (lymphoid glands that drain your tonsils), and you don't sleep well. Anything from simple cold viruses to bacteria, and even allergies can cause your tonsils to swell. Streptococcal bacteria are very common, but there's one particular strain called Group A beta-Hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) that tested for and treated, since toxins produced by this strain can potentially damage the heart or the kidneys. In theory, non-GABHS bacteria can also give you similar miserable symptoms, but if severe, doctors will typically give you oral antibiotics, which will make you feel better in most cases.

When Tonsils Mean More Than Sore Throats

But there's one more variable that occurs during a tonsil infection that's usually not appreciated-the fact that the tonsil can swell significantly. Humans have relatively narrowed upper airway breathing passageways to begin with, and even mild inflammation and swelling in the throat can narrow this airway even further, almost always leading to various degrees of obstruction and arousal from sleep.

What this means is that, your enlarged tonsils not only affect how sore your throat feels, they can also cause you to sleep poorly. Here's the reason why.

If the inflammation and swelling caused by an infected tonsil causes your airway to narrow or obstruct entirely and this in turn, causes you to stop breathing, you'll either wake up to light sleep immediately, or stop breathing for 10 seconds or longer and then wake up. In this latter situation, you would have experienced what's called an "apnea" or "loss of breath." Most people will have lots of short obstructions and arousals-this is why if you have a simple cold, you won't sleep as well, since you'll toss and turn more often than normal. Luckily, in most situations, once the infection goes away, you'll return to normal.

However, there's one more piece to the puzzle that can prevent you from feeling better: This is the piece that many patients and even many doctors overlook as well. If you stop breathing, even temporarily, you'll create a vacuum effect in your throat, where your stomach juices literally get suctioned up into your throat. Small amounts of acid, bile, digestive enzymes, and bacteria can cause your tonsils to stay swollen, aggravating this vicious process. Even worse, your stomach juices can then travel up into your nose or down into your lungs, wreaking more havoc. Add to this a stuffy nose, then another vacuum effect is created downstream, and the tongue can fall back even further.

Certain viruses such as the Epstein-Barr virus (that causes mononucleosis) attack lymphoid tissues specifically, and as a result, keeps the tonsils abnormally large.

This is one reason why patients with this condition have prolonged bouts of chronic fatigue.

Misleading Throat Pain

Most people (and doctors) naturally assume that if your throat hurts, it means that you have a throat infection. If the antibiotics that you're given works, then it means that it was an infection after all, right? Not necessarily. One of the most commonly prescribed oral antibiotics is called azithromycin (brand name is Z-Pak), which is a convenient 5 day course. One of the lesser known beneficial side effects from this medications is that it empties your stomach faster. So by keeping your stomach juices from coming up, your throat will feel better relatively quickly, sometimes working faster than what you'd expect from typical antibiotics. The problem with this medication is that it only works sometimes in some people, and the effect begins to wear off after a few doses.

Notice how for many people, cold and sinus "infections" always start in the throat, with a tickling, sore throat, mucous accumulation, hoarseness, cough and post-nasal drip, all of which are symptoms of throat acid reflux. Then as swelling in the throat worsens, more and more juices are brought up into the throat, causing more swelling. If you have larger than normal tonsils, then the narrowing in your throat will be more severe and you'll stop breathing more and more often. If this process continues, the end result will be the classic bronchitis or sinusitis.

Normally, tonsils shrink down to very small glands by the time you're an adult, but for some people, they stay enlarged. One possible explanation is that they are subjected to repeated bouts of inflammation from stomach juices, and the large tonsils can bring up more stomach juices.

A Rite of Passage?

In the 50s to 70s, it was a given that if you had tonsils, they were removed. The number of tonsillectomies has dropped significantly since then, but more recently, it's climbing back up. The main reason for tonsillectomy back then was for recurrent infections, but now obstructed breathing is the most common indication.

We now know that even mild degrees of sleep-breathing problems in children can cause a wide range of problems, from bed-wetting and ADHD to behavioral issues and asthma.

A recent study published in the journal Pediatrics showed that about 50% of children with ADHD could be cured with adenotonsillectomy (this is when you remove both the adenoids and tonsils). Countless studies report significant improvement in children's cognitive, behavioral, memory and sustained attention scores, after tonsillectomy. Even my son Jonas had dramatic improvements after his tonsillectomy.

Not all children with ADHD have a sleep-breathing disorder, but since it's such a common condition that can be treated, it's worthwhile to at least consider it if your child has ADHD. People are always asking why a stimulant medication such as Ritalin helps children focus and remain calmer. The answer is that they're sleepy.

Poor quality of sleep can also heighten a child's senses and cause abnormalities in their involuntary nervous system, making him or her have balance problems or become hypersensitive to certain sensory forms of input, such as touch, sounds or odors.

The Truth About Tonsillectomy

Unfortunately, not all children who undergo tonsillectomy improve. A recent meta-analysis combining multiple tonsillectomy studies showed that overall, about 2/3 had significant benefit. Some children do somewhat well, but not as well as some others. The explanation here is that the tonsils are not the only part of the equation. By definition, if your tonsils are large, then your jaws will be smaller. I've mentioned in my book, Sleep, Interrupted that modern humans have smaller jaws than our ancestors even a few hundred years back, mainly due to a change in our diets (from organic foods off the land or oceans to processed foods with refined sugars). Bottle-feeding is another modern Western phenomenon that has been shown to aggravate this process. If you have smaller jaws to begin with, you'll have more inflammation in your throat via the mechanism that I described earlier, which will predispose your tonsils to become enlarged. Having large tonsils will cause more obstructions, causing a vacuum effect, which can also narrow your jaws, especially since a young child's jaws are relatively soft and malleable.

A recent study showed that compared with tonsillectomy alone, orthodontic palatal expansion was equally effective. When both procedures were performed, the results were additive. This study goes to show that dental and orthodontic issues may be important considerations long before parents consider braces for their teens.

Outgrowing Your Tonsils

Some of you may be asking, if the tonsils are an important part of the immune system, why take them out? Most of the early education of your immune system occurs before age 6. Either during this time, or even long afterwards, if your tonsils are so large that they literally obstruct your breathing at night, then wouldn't you think that this is a more important issue that needs to be dealt with? Doctors will also say that children will "grow out of it." Yes, in most cases, they will, but based on all the recent studies, there's plenty of evidence that before they "grow out of it," there can be potential long-term consequences, including your risk for developing obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, heart attack and stroke later in life.

I once heard a presentation at a national sleep meeting, where they showed children who underwent tonsillectomies all improved dramatically. The disturbing finding from this study was the fact that compared with children who did not have sleep-breathing issues, the children who underwent tonsillectomies never fully caught up to the control children in terms of cognitive and behavioral measures. What this implies is that there's some degree of permanent brain damage. Fortunately, children's brains are highly adaptable, and can compensate very well.

By no means am I advocating routine tonsillectomies for all children. But if your child has any of the issues that I talked about in this article, or if you're on the fence about whether or not your child should undergo some type of treatment, these issues are definitely worth thinking about.

Medical Translation - No Room For Error

Medical translation is crucial in the production of medical documentation. Medical and health care workers who do not speak the same language as manufacturers rely on documentation to be able to use devices and equipment correctly. Inaccurate or inexpert translation can result in users misusing a product. When lives are on the line, medical workers cannot afford to make this mistake.

The demand for quality translations for medical documentation in the United States and international markets is high. In the US alone, the 2007 American Community Survey Report found that over 55 million people over the age of five speak a language other than English at home. This segment includes people in the medical and health care field.

In the international arena, manufacturers of medical devices who export their products to Europe and Asia are governed by strict language and safety regulations. These regulations require all documentation accompanying medical devices to be translated into the native language of the country or region where such devices are sold.

Manufacturers must therefore ensure that their documentation is translated with the highest degree of care and accuracy. Medical translation not only calls for translating text from one language to another, but also incorporating industry jargon and the cultural nuances of the target country or region.

Companies in the medical manufacturing field should work with translators who not only have extensive experience in the production of medical documents, but are located in the target countries and are native speakers of the target languages and dialects to ensure the quality of the translation. In a field where there is no room for error or misinterpretation, manufacturers cannot afford anything less than 100 percent accuracy.

What is the Healthiest Way to Lose Weight and Basic Ideas to Follow When Doing It

The best way to lose weight is not through fad diets or drastic exercise changes. The body is more receptive to slower changes in food intake and exercise. An example of this takes place when a person after years of neglect decides to run 3 miles day outside or on a treadmill, joins a fitness club and exercises like he has been doing it for months. In many cases the person goes home exhausted, in some cases injured and is so de-motivated they usually quit the exercise program.

The same can be said for people who start a diet by starving themselves to lose weight. By doing so they eliminate the proper nutrients and vitamins the body needs, and after a couple of days there hunger is such that they binge on food and are back where they started. Our body needs food for energy and it stores any excess in fat cells. This means that if you eat more than you require for your activity level you gain weight. In order to reduce any excess you are required to reduce the amount of calories you eat and increase your physical activity. This is the reason when searching for ways to lose weight, most people and professionals talk about weight loss through diet and exercise or nutrition and exercise.

Just as you without realizing it, you can add that one piece of bread at dinner or extra sugar drink in the afternoon leading to an additional 5 pounds on your body. If you just cut out these additions your weight would return back to what it was but in many cases there are other items you have added that combine to increase your weight even more. Initially look at your eating habits, making sure you have breakfast each morning and then consider a diet whose rules on food are ones you can follow.

If you increase your level of exercise whether that be starting a program or paying attention to the one you have, maintain your current diet and you will lose weight. It does not matter whether you go to a fitness club or develop your own walking program, you should do it for 30 minute a day to see the benefit. Remember that every time you exercise more than usual whether be walking to a store instead of driving a car you burn extra calories and fat. If you lack the motivation, you can join team sports that provide you with camaraderie and added incentive to participate.

The obvious running, walking cycling and swimming provide you with improved fitness and another way to burn fat. For people who through injury or medical problems cannot do some of these, aquatic classes in special pools at your recreation centre provide a low impact type workout. The pools are usually warm and are excellent for seniors. Above all find something that you enjoy so that you will continue to do it and reap the benefits.

Remember reducing the amount of calories you consume daily and the potential to burn off the same amount per day will lead to the loss of pounds in a short period of time. You should also endeavor to read the label on foods and attempt to eat ones that contain less fat. This can be dairy products or choosing the leaner cuts of meat and poultry at your supermarket.

Also watching your intake of sugar sweetened drinks, eating fruit instead of energy bars and other like products will help. When you eat a sandwich try using tuna instead of processed meats, mustard instead of mayonnaise or use light type dressings. If you do not go to extremes, substitute a few foods, eat breakfast, exercise 30 minutes a day weight loss will happen without drastic change.
