As chinese we all know the benefit Goji Berries. We grew up with Goji Berries in our soup on a daily basis, in our chinese dishes and some like me put in Goji Berries even in our famous and local dish call “Bak Kut Teh” .. when i do cook some at home. Goji Berries has a long history of good health, I remember my grandmother used to explain why putting Goji Berries into soup is good for the eyes and give strength to the body. But today, you and I know that Goji Berries also known as wolfberries, actually does more than that. I heard it not only helps you control your weight but improves your sex life too.

Of course, you must know that Goji Berries are a great source of Vitamin C and are grown in pollution free valleys of the Tibetan and Mongolian Himalayas. There are so many nutrients and benefits from taking Goji Berries and its product like Goji Juice on a regular basis. So if you want to stay healthy, try a packet of Goji Berry. These tiny red seed might not seems much to you, but it’s sure packed with all the good stuff.

Charity work has always been important in our family. We try to do our bit as much as we can. When my daughter was younger, we used to keep all the labels of Heinz to donate to the hospital because they get a 5 cents a piece for them from Heinz. So instead of saving the labels for toys for my daughter.. I had painstakingly, removed all the labels and donated it to the IWK hospital in Halifax.

Well.. every year we try to donate something to the hospital, whether it is money or stuff that the hospital can find useful for. This year, we’ve decided that some healthcare cart, would be a great idea for our charity work. What about you..?? do you do your bit for charity..?

The man is into riding his bike for health reasons. After turning 30, i think he puts on weight alot easier, usually if the weather is cold, he exercises on the stationary bike that we have at home but during the summer.. and late spring, he would be jolly about bringing out his mountain bike and go riding for an hour or so. Being asthmatic and all, one cannot be too careful, so a pulse oximeter, is always with him during his biking outdoors. The one that he has is hospital-grade accurate, and very affordable, so I’m happy and so is he, afterall, he hates it when i keep nagging him.

I live in a little town with a total population of only 8,000 in town. I guess it would be perfect for us if we did not own our own business in this small town. But since we do, we see a lot of “ugly” people coming in and out of our store, just to get a few bucks to feed their addiction. The things they would do just to get some money. Some try to sell just about anything to us, and if they could, they would sell the shirt off their back. Of course, we have those that very desperate and would sell us stolen goods. Yes, you heard me right… stolen goods. They break into their own mother/sisters/brothers/strangers house and take anything they think will get them a few bucks. Sad as it is, we see it happen all the time, and the cops are involved all the time.

Most parents here are quite in denial when it comes to getting help for their kids. But you can’t really blame them, for who would want to air their dirty linen in public. But help must be gotten or else they would continue to hurt themselves and the people around them as well. Intervention is a big word for all those with a drug problem, nobody wants to be told that they are in the wrong and they are not only hurting themselves but also the people who love them. Try telling a normal person that, and even then we will see resistance and denial. Folks with a drug abuse problem will use any kind of excuse to deny themselves of help and rehabilitation.

But there is help, and there are professionals who can assist. But how does one choose the right treatment program for your loved ones..?? Since you can’t go about asking the cops that arrested your kids, nor ask someone else whom you think might have the same problem with their kids, for fear of embarrassing them? A non profit rehabilitation program, offered at no cost to you, provides program information for treatment and recovery from drug and alcohol addictions. Since there are just way too many treatment programs and centers out there, one can get very confused during these trying times, therefore this referral service not only helps you get in contact with the right facilities but also aims to help you select the most effective treatment for your loved ones. They encourage you to show love and support for your loved ones, not to ridicule those that need help. The battle to overcome an addiction is a tough one but they know exactly what you are going through so don’t hesitate to ask for help.

Every doctors’ office should get a Medicscan , it would make life alot easier .. for his secretary .. and the few receptionist he already have. Most doctor’s office is always fully booked.. they have so many patients.. it is no joke trying to keep up with all the filing ..and all the medical insurance card in proper order or worst, they have to keep asking the insurance card on every visit instead of having it on file.

The MedicScan will enable the secretaries to easily scan the image of all medical insurance cards of all his patients. They then can be stored as a file on your PC and even can be exported to another application and you can send the info through emails to another medical office if necessary or another computer.

Scanning is easier than ABC, because it is fully automatic. When you insert your medical card, the image processing takes place immediately. Not only does it make life easier for the patients, it is also less paperwork to keep and no more lost information or misplacing them, it will also increase productivity in the doctor’s office and no more copying the wrong insurance card numbers or names.

Seriously, I think all medical office should have a Medicscan don’t you think..?? That way, i don’t have to make sure i have my insurance card with me all the time. It would certainly make life much easier for me.. during an emergency to the doctor’s office or the hospital.

The joy of any health recovery is a celebration for anyone. Some folks think that having a drug problem isn’t a health problem, because they don’t have much knowledge about it. But any drug problem is health hazardous. Whether you know it or not, a recovery of that kind depends alot also on the drug rehabilitation one goes to. It is always nice to know that one has options if someone needs help.
