SNORE FREE SLEEPING


Image result for Caricatures OF SNORING MAN


AS I SCAN THE PAGES OF DIFFERENT NEWSPAPERS TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING WORTHY TO WRITE IN MY BLOG, I FOUND THIS ARTICLE WRITTEN BY DR. TRANQUILINO ELICANO JR. IN HIS "WHAT'S UP DOC? COLUMN IN THE PHILIPPINE STAR.

I HOPE MY READERS AROUND THE GLOBE WILL LIKE IT AND EXPERIMENT ON IT IF THE GOOD DOCTOR TIPS IS REALLY WORKING AND I WILL TRY IT ON MYSELF BECAUSE I ALSO HEAR SOMEONE TELLS ME THAT I SNORE.

HERE ARE THE SEVEN STEPS TO SNORE FREE SLEEPING:

1.  SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE - BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO SNORE WHEN YOU SLEEP ON YOUR BACK.
              - IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU SEW A TENNIS BALL INTO THE BACK OF YOUR PAJAMAS SO THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE.

2.   AVOID THICK PILLOWS THAT CAUSE YOUR NECK TO BEND FORWARD. THIS PINCHES, MAKING SNORING WORSE. HOWEVER IF YOU ELEVATE YOUR ENTIRE UPPER BODY WITH PILLOWS, THAT MAY HELP.

3.   STOP SMOKING. SMOKING CAUSES THE TISSUES OF THE THROAT TO SWELL AND NICOTINE DISTURB SLEEP PATTERNS.

4.   STAY AWAY FROM ALCOHOL, SLEEPING PILLS AND TRANQUILIZERS AT BEDTIME. THESE RELAX THE MUSCLES OF YOUR THROAT, MAKING SNORING MORE LIKELY.

5.   USE SALINE SPRAY BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. YOU CAN EITHER PURCHASE A SALINE SPRAY AT THE DRUG STORE OR MAKE YOUR OWN BY MIXING A CUP OF LUKEWARM WATER, A HALF TEASPOON OF SALT AND A PINCH OF BAKING SODA. THESE SPRAYS HELP TO OPEN NASAL PASSAGES, SO YOU'RE LIKELY TO BREATHE THROUGH YOUR MOUTH AND SNORE.

6.   CONSIDER USING HUMIDIFIER IN YOUR BEDROOM. LOW HUMIDITY CAN DRY OUT MUCOUS MEMBRANES INCREASING IRRITATION AND ADDING TO THE SNORING PROBLEM.

7.   LOSE WEIGHT. EXTRA WEIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE NECK AREA CAN CAUSE PRESSURE ON YOUR THROAT, COLLAPSING ALREADY NARROW PASSAGES.

CONSIDER THESE ADVISES FROM THE GOOD DOCTOR FOR A SNORE FREE SLEEPING.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
