How To Have A Healthy Heart

Keeping our hearts healthy is important, but how do we do it? Fortunately the answers to this are very clear. Being overweight, particularly if you carry the weight around your waist, puts spare strain on the heart. To find out if you have a problem you need to know your height to weight ratio (WHR). To work this out measure round your waist in centimetres and divide it by your hip circumference. The measurements need to be in centimetres, so if your measuring tape is in inches, multiply each measurement by 2.5 before dividing one by the other. If the figure you end up with is greater than 0.9 for men and 0.8 for women then your fat distribution is likely to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
	 	 

Breast Augmentation - Translating the Jargon and Getting the Breasts You Want

Many women say that they would like bigger breasts without really considering precisely what 'bigger' means to them. Even the ones who know exactly the look they aspire to - and have seen it modelled perfectly on their popular celebrity - think in the terms that have been familiar to women since they bought their first training bra: cup size.

Ask Tough Questions before Having Custom LASIK Surgery

LASIK surgery has been around for awhile now, but what’s the close new thing? The FDA has recently approved the newest technology of custom LASIK. Custom LASIK is based on the individuality of all eye. Your eyes are not like mine, so why should I be having a one size fits all surgery? Until now, glasses, contacts and nonrepresentational surgeries were complete similar. Custom LASIK means a measurement of the eye from front to back using wavefront technology that creates a map of the cornea. This 3-D map shows all of the irregularities of the individual corneas. This technology is later because it improves the potential for how much you can see, but also how healed you can see. It means there is reduced risk of complications much as glare, night vision difficulties and halos that sometimes occur after LASIK. Sometimes patients have vision quality problems when they can’t see in stupid light. This is poor contrast sensitivity. Prior to the wavefront technology there was no way to treat these disorders. Now it’s possible to help these patients.
