Health Nut: Cleaning Out Your System

Comment On This Article Comment

It’s a blessing and a curse that I’ve been having all of these health issues lately. The up side is that it gives me something to write about each week.

Today I’m discussing an alternative way of removing built-up wastes from your body. I’m talking years of all types of crap. We all know what laxatives are or have at least seen them in on the shelves of your local health food store. I’ve recently been informed on an ancient all-natural way of cleansing that the Egyptians came up with centuries ago called a colonic.

From what I’m told, it’s a tube slipped into your anus-–it’s allegedly painless--that fills your colon up with water that in turn pushes all of the water removing all of the built-up waste. All sicknesses start within the colon and instead of using chemicals and prescribed drugs to rid you of these, try a colonic.

I’m getting one very soon so I will fill you in on all of the step by step details on what exactly happens. If you want to read up on it now, here’s a link: http://www.appliedozone.com/colonics.html

Health Nut: The Kiss of Death?

I've been dating this new guy for the past couple of weeks and he's really big on kissing with tongue. I'm not a fan of French kissing because, well, it's too much saliva.

We went out last weekend to celebrate his birthday and in his best impression of an innocent child, he politely asked if he could kiss me with his tongue. I obliged--I figured why not? It’s his birthday, so why not give the kid a little treat?

Big mistake! A few days later he hits me up on AIM and says, “Hey baby I’ve been sick and I went to the doctor today and he said I have Mononucleosis.” I was confused. I didn’t even know if that was English. I got really scared and felt like he had given me an incurable STD--even though we hadn’t had any sexual contact--I pressed my caps button and said, “WHAT?????”

He said, “Boo, it’s just mono, you know? The kissing disease.” I felt like he was taking this situation way too lightly. I’ve heard that mono can hospitalize people. Just to clear up some truths and non-truths, I’ve done some research for myself and decided to pass it along to all of you readers out there.

Mono is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. This virus stays in your body for the rest of your life and sometimes you’ll never show any symptoms at all, but you can still pass it onto people. Some symptoms that show you have mono are fever, sore throat, loss of appetite, headaches, sore muscles,(note: as I’m writing this I’m beginning to feel all of these things) skin rash, swollen glands, etc. It spreads through kissing, holding/shaking hands, or sharing eating utensils.

There is no cure for mono, all you can do is wait until the illness goes away by itself which can take up to four weeks. For more information on Mononucleosis visit: http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/infections/common/mononucleosis.html.

What's in Your Closet, Angela Barrett?

"Oddly enough, what’s in my closet isn’t worn on the outside of your clothes. It still gives you sex appeal and a super boost of confidence; the only difference is people just can’t see that you’re wearing one."

"Hi. I’m an H.P.C. That stands for a habitual procrastinating chicster. I just made the term up five seconds ago but it works."

Student Poet Achieves Dream with "Sepia Sapphire"

"Sepia is a skin tone. It's a dark reddish brown tint and of course a sapphire is a jewel. During the 60's and 70's, brothers would call a beautiful brown woman a sapphire, so the book means beautiful black woman."

Health Nut: First Gas Prices, Now Sex

Almost everything profitable in America has had some type of sale increase. Americans need gas for transportation, so there’s not much of a way in getting around the increase in gas prices. You kind of just have to give in.

College students--well most of them--need sex, so there’s no way in getting around an increase in price there either. Since President Bush signed the Deficit Reduction Act, colleges and universities are no longer receiving top of the line birth control pills at a discounted rate. Birth control pills like Ortho Evra and Ortho Tricyclen were being sold at colleges and universities for as little as $12-$15 for a month’s supply. With the new Act being passed, colleges and universities are no longer receiving the discounted rate, which means students will have to pay as much $55 for a package of birth control.

Do you think that college women will begin to use no contraceptive at all? Or will the usage of condoms be the next best substitution?

Health Nut: Bee Fell Down But She Got Up!

If you've been living under a rock lately, you probably don't know about the fall heard around the world.

Singer/dancer/actor Beyoncé Knowles took a tumble while performing in Orlando Florida last week. I've been trying desperately to see how this would relate to a health and fitness blog and it dawned on me: Beyoncé has got to be the Bionic Woman because she bounced right back up after taking such a hard tumble down several stairs doing her performance.

Beyoncé's workout routines consist of intense muscle and endurance building, which means she’s got more than buns of steel--her body might as well be made of steel as well!

Want to be as fit and strong as Beyoncé? Try this No Weight Workout routine for great ways to get in shape that can be done without any gym equipment.
