Why do I snore?

We always discuss about snoring problems and how a snorer disturbs the other persons sleep. There is always a hot debate as why people snore? How snoring can be avoided? But how many of us actually try to know or understand how a snorer must be feeling amidst all then. He or she is the person behind all discussion, ridicule and fun. We hardly realize or try to feel what he might be going through. It is the human tendency to assume that the snorer faces no trouble, because he is the one who is sleeping comfortably through out the night. What does he face? It is the ordeal and trauma of the partner who is spending sleepless nights.

A snore is always made fun of and so is the snorer. People show open dislike to the snoring and are often reluctant to sleep with the snorer. How does it feel? Ask anyone who snores and has been through such experiences. This happens especially with the elderly who snore. Age, brings with it many kinds of ailments. Elderly people often remain dejected and depressed psychologically and God forbid if they snore, life becomes truly difficult for them. I have seen men become worried about their snoring habits. They know the kind of harm their snoring habits may be causing to their family. Many times they realize that their family life is getting ruined. Day after day, their spouse is sleeping in another room, separate and alone. Snorer starts feeling dejected and neglected. He starts feeling lonely.

The question that haunts the mind of the snorer is ‘Why do I snore?’ They keep looking for this one single answer. They start believing that their key to happiness is the answer to this question. Doctors, who treat such patients, will tell you about the desperation in the minds of these snorers. How they keep asking why they snore and what they can do about them? Is there any solution?

Why does a person snore actually?

If you visit a doctor and ask him this question, he will come up with several answers. A person snores due to several reasons. There are some reasons which are within his control and some reasons that are beyond their control. When a patient asks the doctor, the reason behind his snoring, the doctor explains in details and very patiently. He explains that this is curable and can be treated as well. Those factors which can be treated are worked upon- at least you can get a relief for some time. Some factors that have been attributed to snoring can be described as genetic, that is inherited features from parents and grandparents that cause snoring. You really can’t do anything about this. Other factors that might be responsible for snoring are obesity, too much alcoholic drinks, rich food, sleeping style and medications. In any of these cases, there is a solution. Exercises, change in lifestyle and motivation can be a solution to any of these problems. You just need to know what is to be done and how to be done.

Dress According to Your Body

Your dressing sense is going to be much more important for your appearance. When you go for buying a new dress, you may choose few as per your choice. But how can you be so sure that these dresses are going to suit you perfectly? Even these are some of the best dresses in the world; you may not look good while you wear them. This is because of the fact that these dresses are not made for human figures like you. So, you keep on dumping these expensive clothes and dresses into your wardrobe and thus end up in misusing your storage space. However, you can easily choose the right kind of dress for yourself, if you follow certain guidelines. 

• If your figure is perfect with an hour glass shape, then you are among the luckiest, as many of the dresses are going to fit and look well for you. However for a perfect look, you should go for dresses which are going to highlight your beautiful waistline.

• But there are many women, who are not blessed with such a beautiful figure. Rather some of them have quite a boyish look. But there are ways to makeover. Select the dresses having lots of pleats and frills for your boyish figure, as these will add seductive curves to your appearance.

• For pear shaped women, the ideal style statement would be selecting the dresses which draw attention to the small upper portion of body. In addition to this avoid dresses which have been made for emphasizing the bottom part.

• There are women, who have a heavier top portion. For them, the suggested choice would be the dresses with open necklines. To emphasize the smaller bottom portion, find out dresses having some flare at the lower part. This will balance the appearance by adjusting the appearance of the lower part.

Selecting the right type of dress is a big problem for plus sized women. In fact they have much less choices to choose from. In this situation, to find out the best choice, you should first know your exact size and shape. You should buy dresses which perfectly match with your body size. Loosely fit dresses are strictly not for you, as it will give you a much bigger look than your normal size.

New Moms – Take a Break

A break is perhaps the most desired thing for a new mom, but probably there is no way out at this moment. In the initial days of your baby, you will get very less time to sit and relax. Starting from the morning, you have to keep on working for changing diapers, feeding, putting into new set of dresses for several times, giving bath, putting him into sleep and once he wakes up you again start on the same set of works. Even at the night also, you are going get awake several times just to check out how he is doing in his crib? At times, you might think of to leave everything just to take rest for couple of minutes. 

Rest and relaxation are very much required for every person and especially you require that more. You need to stay healthy and happy for the sake of your baby and rest of the family. If you are exhausted and tired throughout the day, how can you take care of your baby? So, you have to manage your cores of work to make some time out for your rest and relaxation.

The best time to get some rest and relax is when your baby is taking the nap. Even if you can manage to take an half an hour nap, you will feel much better and refreshed. If you have planned to work on washing or cooking during the time your baby sleeps, you should rethink on that. You do not need to attend your baby all the time. When your baby is full, he is not going to disturb you. You may leave him on his own and can work on something else or relax of your own. This way, he will also learn to pass his time being alone and unattended. Simple playing things like ball or soft toys might keep him busy for some time. However, you should keep an eye on your baby, while you are busy in some other work.

Make a plan to be out for dinner or to the shopping mall, at least once in a week. Spend quality time with your husband to refresh your romance. You can also go for an afternoon walk along with your baby on the carrier or stroller. You will find that your baby is also going to enjoy this joy ride pretty soon.

The Goodness Of Sunlight

Excessive exposure to sun can be damaging for your skin, but at the same time how can you ignore the fact that exposure to sun helps to generate Vitamin D in our body. Vitamin D is one of the essential nutrients which our body requires for various reasons. It helps our bones to grow stronger and to prevent diseases like osteoporosis. It can also ward off the risk of cancer or other infections, by increasing the immunity of our body. Vitamin D works for the brain to take care of the problems like dementia, depression etc. In addition to that, it also helps our heart and teeth to get stronger and healthier. However with the regular use of sunscreen lotion and by seriously avoiding the sun, we are not being able to generate sufficient vitamin D and thus causing a great harm to our body.

So, what is the way out for this problem? You cannot allow your skin to get burnt and accept all the damaging effect of sunlight, for generating the vitamin D. According to scientists, depending upon the geographic location you can sit under the sun for 10 to 15 minutes during the day time. Now the concept of geographic location is very important in this case. There are some places on earth which receives brighter sun in comparison to other places. If you think the sun is too bright and warm, that you cannot tolerate then you should not be out. To solve this confusion, the best thing would be to enjoy the sun at the early hours of the day. In fact you do not need to be enjoying the sun on a regular basis; just 2-3 days in a week will be enough to produce the required amount of vitamin D in your body.

To enjoy the sun in such a restricted way, you will not require sitting or lying on a beach. You can simply take a morning walk in your garden or some nearby park or at any open place. Just make sure that you get soaked into the sun. In case you are into your beachwear, your whole body will receive the sunlight and hence you may cut down the time under the sun to 7-8 minutes.

Do long distance relationships work?

We all agree that relationships are quite difficult to maintain and when your partner is living far away (other town,or country ) - things can really get difficult.I have seen many relationships breaking due to the distance between the partners. Many of my friends believe that if you know your partner well, distance does not matter...but is this true? Do things remain the same when your regular datings are replaced by phone calls, sms's and chats only? I have seen many couples split because they start to feel that they no longer share the thoughts, feelings and concerns....a few years down the line, they start realizing that distance is the culprit,but then you do not have much to do!

Recent studies have proved that in a long distant relationship the levels of intimacy, trust and commitment slowly starts deteriorating as partners slowly learn to develop a habit of living without one another. This might sound harsh, but this is one of the cruelest truths with which all of us will agree at some time or another. The need and desire to see one another and spend time together starts receding and this is when the problem begins!

In spite of all these, long distance relationships are on a rise-couples try every possible trick to keep the relationship alive.So...quickly, here are a few things which you can do to keep your relationship sweet.

Clarify all your expectations - Setting rules is good - you can stay focused and know when you are slipping. Your relationship shall also get a new hope and you will always look forward to something.

Trust - this is what shall keep your relationship alive. Be prepared for no face to face communication for months - this is where trust comes and believe me, sometimes, its really tough to keep your trust in your partner. If you are able to trust, you will surely sail smoothly through the rough patch.

Show your interest in one another always - through online dating, chats or even emails.

Last but not the least, be positive always and keep faith!

Tips To Have Dazzling Smile

Tattoos are widely popular amongst the young generation as these represent uniqueness in the new fashion experiments. Along with body tattoos, dental tattoos are the next big thing to make a splash. The design placed on your tooth ensures that your smile is never the same again. Using dental tattoos you can deck up your tooth with anything from painting to a crystal studded dragon. Here are some tips that can help you have a perfect tooth tattoo.

1. You can go for a permanent tattoo or a temporary one. If you are not so adventurous then temporary tattoos are the best option. These tattoos last for few weeks, some months or even for couple of years. Angles, butterflies and flowers are mostly liked by women where as dragon and insects are for men.
2. Temporary tattoos take a shorter time to fix as the procedure simply involves sticker being pasted to the tooth with a solution but in case of permanent tattoos it takes  quite a few sittings. In case of permanent tattoos first the tooth is measured, after which an artificial tooth is created in the laboratory. In the next sitting the natural tooth is chipped allover and then replaced by the artificial new tooth. Permanent tattoos can cause some occasional sensitivity, thus you must only plan to have permanent tattoos when your tooth is infected.
3. If you wish to get a dental tattoo then it is always best to look out for a cosmetic dentist who has experience in the field. Since there is no course available for dental tattooing, doctors follow their own style and techniques that they have gathered over the years. You can collect referrals of dental lab from your family and friends. After collecting referrals you should inquire about their quality of work.
4. The size and intricacy of tattoos, determine its cost of tattooing. You must select artwork that is large enough to cover your tooth. Smaller artworks are also fine but ensure that it does not have a lot of detail.
5. If you want to downplay the left side of your face then tattoo your tooth on the right side or other way round.

Regular dental check-ups will keep your tattoos new and shiny; and will also keep the smille sparkling forever.
