The Health Benefits of Diabetic Socks for Men and Women

Proper foot care is important for people suffering from diabetes. This disease can cause foot problems that can lead to amputation of the foot or leg. It is essential that people with diabetes wash and check their feet daily, choose proper shoes, wear diabetic socks and go for regular foot examinations to avoid any serious complications.

There are primarily two health issues that can cause foot problems in diabetic patients. Nerve damage is one common health problem often experienced by diabetics. High blood glucose level over time can lead to impaired nerves in the toes and feet. As a result, the sensations of the person are impaired, putting the patient at risk of various foot injuries.

Poor blood circulation is another common health issue experienced by diabetics. Due to high standing blood sugar levels, blood vessels are damaged, reducing blood flow to the foot. As a result, any cut or wound formed on the leg will not heal quickly. Since a diabetic may not feel any foot injuries due to neuropathy, they will be in bigger trouble when proper medical attention is not taken immediately.

One of the best products that help diabetics keep their feet safe and healthy is diabetic socks. Diabetic socks for men and women are designed especially for people suffering diabetes. Wearing these socks can help diabetics reduce swelling in their ankles and feet. In addition, they can help protect feet from sensitivity and relieve pain from sensitive ankles, feet, and lower limbs. Moreover, since these socks have little or no elasticity, wearing them does not restrict blood circulation to the feet, thereby encouraging quick healing. Another great feature is that these socks are designed to draw moisture away from the feet and are more breathable. This helps prevent foot infections.

Really anyone can wear these hosiery. Pregnant women, athletes, and those with poor circulation can also benefit from wearing diabetic socks. In fact, the synthetic makeup of diabetic socks has more moisture wicking capabilities than most athletic socks. Generally, socks are made of 100% cotton. Although cotton socks help absorb moisture, socks made of synthetic fibers help wick moisture away from the skin, making the skin dry and less prone to infections, blisters, and foot odor. Apart from keeping moisture away, wearing diabetic socks with padded cushion soles can help the feet absorb shock from the impact of exercise.

One of the most common problem women experience during pregnancy is swollen feet. This is caused by increased blood volume and weight gain. Swollen feet can often make pregnant women even more uncomfortable than they already are. To prevent discomfort in feet and legs, it is important that pregnant women wear proper socks. Opting to wear diabetic socks during pregnancy can be a good option because they have extra wide tops that stretch out a lot more than normal socks.

Poor blood circulation can be caused due to various factors. Common causes include lack of exercise, smoking, obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or certain thyroid or nerve conditions. Lack of proper blood circulation in the feet can often lead to swollen, cold, numb, tired feet. Wearing diabetic socks is an effective way to relieve these symptoms and promote circulation.

Improper foot care during diabetes can lead to serious health complications. To maintain good foot health and protect your feet from chronic edema, foot pain, swelling or injury, wear diabetic socks for men and women. Even non-diabetics can benefit from the improved blood flow from these socks. Your feet will thank you for it.

Take Control Of Diabetes With A Plant-Based Diet

If you've been diagnosed with type II diabetes or told you are at risk of developing the disease, it's time to take action. You can do a lot to retain control over your lifestyle and minimize the impact diabetes is going to have. Switching to a diet that is entirely or mostly plant-based will do you a lot of good.

Working With Your Doctor

While taking the initiative and educating yourself about positive diabetes-related dietary changes is a great step, don't try and solve your problems alone. Consult with your doctor about the best way to alter your diet and stay healthy. It's possible to slow the progression of diabetes significantly and even minimize your need for medication, but getting professional medical guidance is vital.

Changes Involved In A Plant-Based Diet

In order to make it sustainable, you need to make your shift away from meats and towards vegetables a gradual process. You will also want to pay greater attention to your carbohydrate intake, avoiding foods with a high glycemic index. These are basically processed grains (white bread, cereals), potatoes, and a few notable fruits like watermelons and pineapples. Low glycemic index carbs, which include dark whole grains, pasta, beans, and most starchy vegetables are much better.

Beans and other high-protein vegetables are going to be very important to replace the nutrients you are giving up by ditching meat. You should also be on the lookout for high-fiber foods. These have multiple benefits for treating diabetes (see below). If you are looking for a general rule of thumb, try volumetrics. This will point you towards foods that are filling but low in calories. Just read nutrition labels and look for foods whose serving sizes in grams exceed their calorie counts. A cup of raw carrots, for instance, weighs about 100 grams but contains only 50 calories.

Why Plant-Based Diets Work

When you minimize the amount of meat in your diet, you are cutting way back on saturated fats, which are known to be one of the biggest problem ingredients for diabetics and those at risk of diabetes. By reducing your saturated fat intake (as well as your intake of all fats), you will reduce your overall caloric intake. Over time, this will both bring your weight down and improve your insulin sensitivity.

The great news is that once you become physically habituated to eating a mainly or entirely vegetarian diet, your body's insulin regulation processes become more efficient. You are less sensitive to blood sugar swings caused by carbohydrates and you can start enjoying safe carbohydrates (those with a low glycemic index) pretty much at will. Even carbs with a high glycemic index are okay in limited amounts.

Advantages Compared To Other Diet Modification Plans

Dietary changes are virtually impossible to avoid if you want to adapt your lifestyle to cope with diabetes. Opting to use a plant-based diet has some significant advantages. For one thing, unlike other plans, going vegetarian does not require strict portion control. For another, the overall boost in fiber you will get from switching to plant-based foods will do a better job of filling you up than other diabetes-friendly diets. This makes one of the hardest parts of the process - reducing your calorie intake - a lot easier.

This overview is really just an introduction to the idea of a diabetes-friendly plant-based diet. Keep educating yourself to uncover more useful information and to collect additional details. Don't forget to work with your doctor. By paying attention to professional advice and committing yourself to a healthier diet you can keep your diabetes under strict control.

Phlebotomist Certification

Three Simple Strategies To Optimize Your Health Company

As always, healthcare is a dynamic industry that affords business owners the opportunity to earn sustainable incomes while simultaneously playing a positive role in the lives of the local community. If you run a health company and you're interested in optimizing your daily operations or improving your conversion rates, you should know that there are several simple strategies you can implement to realize your objective. Here are three:

1. Encourage Advanced Certifications.

One of the best ways for you to enhance your business is to invest in your employees, and one of the best ways to do so is to encourage them to attain advanced certifications in their field. For example, if you employ any phlebotomists, it's a good idea to encourage them to attain a phlebotomist certification from an organization like the American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians. This organization has been around for more than thirty years, and its professionals can play a profound role in helping your phlebotomists develop personally and professionally.

2. Optimize Your Social Engagement.

If you're really ready to move your health company forward, consider the power of optimizing your social engagement activity. When you connect with your target market in casual yet meaningful ways that build familiarity and foster community, you're much more likely to increase your conversion rates. Yet many business owners are not quite certain how to optimize their social engagement activity. The secret is oftentimes to adopt an eclectic approach that involves trying various strategies and then reusing the techniques that work. In some cases, throwing parties is an effective method through which to connect with prospective clients and turn them into faithful customers. In other cases, launching a detailed, knowledge-based social media campaign is the most efficacious way to help you develop and sustain brand-building relationships with your target market.

3. Become An Industry Thought Leader.

Becoming a thought leader in the health industry is a wonderful way to optimize your company's visibility and conversion rates. To do so, make a point to start reading relevant literature surrounding your company's area of interest and scope of practice. Then get into publishing. After you take this step, you may start getting invited to important lectures and conferences where you can comment on the research of others and present your own findings. Once this happens, your voice will become authoritative and your brand will become more highly esteemed and reputable in the industry.

Conclusion

If you're ready to take your health company to a new level of success, be sure that you're approaching the matter in a synergistic, strategic manner. By utilizing some or all of the growth strategies outlined above, you'll likely find that your health organization starts to blossom and expand in a marvelous way!

Live Kidney Donation

I was recently contacted by a fantastic orginization called Live Kedney Donation. LiveKidneyDonation.org is part of The Charles and Jennie Machado Foundation. A foundation that was created out of desperate measures for the Machado's son who went into kidney failure at 24.
Charles and Jennie Machado Foundation has worked to become the voice for so many people who are suffering from End Stage Renal Disease. After their own son was diagnosed and soon after received a live kidney donation, they felt that they couldn't leave the others we had met behind. So in forming the organization they have been able to help find living matches for those in need of kidney transplant services.

Their website livekidneydonation.org now stands as a beacon of hope for those patients who would normally otherwise be placed on a list and wait an indefinate period of time before ever having hopes of getting a donor.

Head over now to have a look at their website, and please take time to spread the word about this organization, it may save a life.

Calgary Real Estate site review

Recently I was contacted by The Cliff Stevenson Group of Calgary Real Estate for a site review and to give my over all opinion. Well what they didnt know is that my sister just so happens to be on the market for a new house.  So I thought "hey lets check out this site to see what they have." So we went to http://www.cliffstevenson.com and checked it out. I being a pro/am web designer have to say that I found the page nicely laid out with a real intuitive navigation system. I loved the fact that he offered so many Buyer/Seller services. The group also shows their current listings right on the front page, as well as links to the blog and YouTube channel. Which I honestly dont know why would offer a blog, unless they have first time buyer tips, or property watches, etc. But hey it is another way to engage with the potential client.

Anyways I must say that I do like the fact that their navigation was so easy to use, and that everything was straight forward and concise.  I hate when websites lose focus of people who may be first time users or bury their content and actual helpful related articles of information that you are looking for.

So over all I must say that I love the page, and the services that this group offers. I would feel confident that they would and could help anyone find a property that they were looking for, and take their services above and beyond, as any business should.

Needing Results

Needing Results

Whether you're waiting for a drug test to come back for someone who is seeking employment or a test for an illness that someone might have, there are benefits to a rapid test for all involved. An employer can quickly know whether a potential employee has any kind of drug in the body, making it easier to make a decision on whether or not to hire the person. Rapid tests are also convenient for random drug testing, especially in situations where you suspect the person might be using drugs and need to confirm the information in a short time.

Another benefit to a rapid test is when you need to know if someone is sick. Some cancer screenings are offered by companies as well as illnesses like the flu. These are tests that are important because people want to know if they need to start any kind of treatment. The sooner the test results come back, the sooner a plan can be put in place so that the person can start to get better. Most tests take a few hours to get back, but there are some that might take one or two days. Learn about our company and the large variety of tests that are offered.

Mary Lambert - Heart on my sleeve Album Review

I just got a copy of Mary Lambert's Heart on my Sleeve, this is one of the most heart felt and personalized, put all the cards on the table, albums I have heard in a while.

Brutal and honest, Mary sings from the heart about her ups and downs in life and most of all the emptiness she feels.
Each song is like a page from her diary. A no punches held look at what she keeps inside, and how he anguishes over her inability to properly communicate her feelings to those around and to her love interest.

Though the album is only 11 songs in total, you feel as if you are walking with her as she tells the story of her life. Powerful and moving, many times I was able to relate to her struggles of self worth, and just wanting to be loved.

Secrets - This is a very fun song about how she is depressed, bipolar, and how she really is tired of always having to hide secrets from everyone. She belts it out to tell the world, love me or leave me but this is who I am. It to me is a fun anthem that is likened to Lady GaGa's Born this way. Its a raw, in your face look at how no matter what the world says about you, that you need to be your own cheerleader and take a stand and be happy being you.

So Far Away - Laments the long distance between her and a love interest. How she wishes that they were back together and didnt have to be apart from one another saying "im a better person with you near...but you are so far away." Anyone who has ever had to be away from the person that they love or care about can truly understand this longing. I connected with it remembering a few of my past love interests who I am no longer in contact with.

Rib Cage - This song is about how she is open and exposed and how she feels that people take from her but never give back, and how she doesn't know how to fill the space left behind from people using her and walking all over her.  I myself dealing with depression and being bipolar feel this way more often than I'd like to admit to. The constant struggle of putting yourself out just to make others happy and the empty feeling you have at the end of the day.

Dear One - A personal sonnet to someone who she is in love with and feels at peace being around. It speaks of how she has a 'moth to a flame' need to be with this person but that they act as if she isnt alive. This resounded with me and helped me to connect with her and this song. Many times I have thought about just telling people how I feel only to not do so because of self doubt.

When you sleep - Asks the question so many of us wonder when we like someone, "do you think of me when Im not around?" She sings about the different scenario's in which they have the chance to think about her but if they ever did/do.  She takes it a step further by saying 'I could make a home and marry you and completely disappear" meaning (at least to me) that she would give up her whole self just to make this person happy if they would just only acknowledge her.

Chasing the Moon - A more upbeat song. this song is about escape and wanting to out run the problems and wanting to make the wonderful night last forever by "chasing the moon". This song reminded me of some of the great times that I've had with friends, and how it was so amazing that we all wished that it never had to end.

Jessie's Girl - This is a cover of the original song by Rick Springfeild but done in a more broken hearted, soulful way.

Monochromatic -This speaks about how emphatic she is and how she dreams in color but lives in a monochromatic world of pain. She sees it on the blank expressions of those she passes and feels that she is to vibrant to live in an emotionally dead city. It is a very interesting piece. It to me drums up imagery of walking through the slums.

Heart on my sleeve - The Album Namesake. Again she laments the unspoken thoughts, feelings, and desires she has for a love interest. She states in the song "when you opened your door, you opened what I had closed". To me this sounds like she let down her guard and allowed this person to come in.

Wounded Animal -  An apologetic Ballard of how she is sorry for not being more sympathetic for this persons break up and broken heart. But that basically she saw an opening and went for it and hoped for the best.

Sum of our parts -  In this song that builds to a rampant visualization of having to fight and become 'more than our scars....mare than the sum of our parts'. This is a song about rising from the ashes and not letting something keep you down.  Its about how far you've come regardless the pain of the past.

This album really is soulful and full of pain, regret, and strength. Anyone who has ever felt awkward growing up, or like the 3rd wheel, or just left out can relate to at least one of these songs. It is a close look at the pain she has harbored and a testament to the strength she has in order to push forward.

Caffeine Vape Stix by Energy Shisha

I have seen and tried a lot of wild things in my life but this one takes the cake. I was recently asked to try Caffeine Vape Stix by Energy Shisha.
It is an E-Cigarette of sorts that delivers caffeine via an odorless vaper cloud, which allows the body to get the full effect of the caffeine instantly, without having to circulate the body and be filtered out by the kidneys and liver, unlike traditional methods of caffeine consumption.

Vape Stix come in a fashionable and disposable stick that lights up when you draw on it. The flavor is amazing too. Energy Shisha is the worlds first caffeinated electronic shisha stick. Vape Stix use far less caffeine to give the same energy boost as a cup of coffee or an energy drink. Much like other caffeine products, you do not want to consume or use these too often in an hour time.

When I took my first puff, I was really shocked at how smooth the pull was, and how pronounced the flavor was. I took 5 pulls all together which caused me to become a little dizzy, but hyper. I am already in love with these, and cant wait to get more. I even let a few of my friends try and they loved it too. The only issue that I have with these is the fact that they use Propylene glycol, but other than that I am loving them.

On a scale of 1-10 I would score these a 9 it would be a full 10 if it didn’t have the PG in them. They say on the package that they can provide up to 30hrs of energy. Im not sure if that is the case or not but I do know that I couldn’t be happier.

Ciglites cool crisp innovative

Recently a company called Ciglites contacted me with a chance to try out their e-cigarettes, and me being a sucker for product reviews I hopped on the offer.
Having done other e-cig reviews in the past I wasn’t to sure as to what to expect from this company as it seems that everyone has their own formulation.

I was happy to see the sleek sexy design of their packaging. To me I like having sharp looking items, it doesn’t matter what you are selling or marketing. So seeing how amazing these looked I was visually appeased by them.

 

Being like many other E products it was really simple and straight forward. Attach cartridge to battery, and draw. What I wasn’t ready for was the cool smooth tastes that came out, as well as the very impressive vape cloud. The intensity of the cloud made me feel like the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. I am not sure how they formulated their brand, but it wasn’t a throat hit like some of other products out there (or that I’ve tired.)

I have been using my electronic cigarette from Ciglites for over a week without having to recharge the battery or change the cartridge. I am really super happy about them and love the fact that I have several other cartridges that I can enjoy. E Cigarettes are really an amazing invention that do help to cut down and even quit smoking all together. Unlike traditional cigarettes, were you can not control the amount of nicotine that you get per cigarette, you can with the amount of nicotine that you order. So if you are a long term smoker who likes bold flavor then you can order 24mg of nicotine. If you are trying to cut back you have the option of 0mg – 18mg.

Because traditional cigarettes are carcinogenic and addictive, many times smokers are never able to fully quit. With these you can wean yourself off of it, and then get amazing flavors such as Cherry, Vanilla, Cappuccino, and so many other flavors that you begin using your e-cigarette as a luxury item verses an addictive cancer causing killer.

And because E-cigs contain no tar, or odor you are pretty much able to enjoy them where conventional cigarettes and smoking are prohibited. Which is another reason that I love them. And you don’t have that ‘smokers’ smell, or yellowing teeth to deal with. It is over all a more healthy alternative to traditional tobacco consumption.

All and all I must say that I am really happy and pleased to have reviewed Ciglites E-Cigarettes. I have already began recommending them to my smoker friends. So if you are a smoker or even a Vaper, check them out and I'm sure you too will make the switch.

4 Ways to Beat Back Pain

More than 80 percent of Americans report feeling back pain at least once in their lives. A quarter say that it's a chronic condition, and even more admit that they've never sought professional help for it. If you're one of the sufferers who hasn't gone to the doctor, here are four ways to treat your own back pain at home.

1: Ergonomic Furniture
Backaches are most commonly caused by uncomfortable furniture. Click here to find ergonomic chairs and desks that will support your lumbar structure and make the pain a distant memory.

2: Better Posture
Are you hunched over a computer right now? If the answer is yes, it's time to straighten your spine and improve your posture, especially if you're already experiencing aches and pains. Those are signs that your poor posture has become a habit.

3: Apply Heat
Heat on an aching muscle will increase blood flow to the area, softening its soreness and promoting internal heating. Be warned, however, that heating pads are only quick fixes, not permanent solutions.

4: Foam Rollers
When your muscles become tense and knotted, a foam roller can ease them back into a state of relaxation. The key is to apply pressure gently and steadily so your muscles will gradually loosen instead of locking up even more.

If you're one of the millions of Americans suffering from chronic back pain, use these four tips to bring yourself some relief. Remember, however, that unless you fix your posture and improve your surroundings, the pain will simply come back tomorrow.

Fitness Professionals Appreciate Online Continuing Education Options

Personal trainers and other fitness professionals commonly like to complete continuing education courses to learn more about research in the field, to discover information about the latest advances and to gain new skills. Online courses for home study are especially valued for their convenience.

An enormous number of courses are available for online study.

A fitness professional is likely to be surprised and gratified when he sees the large list from an organization offering these courses. He will appreciate the broad range of topics. Rather than trying to find something he might be interested in, he instead will have difficulty narrowing down his choices.

During continuing education study, a fitness professional can learn about topics such as strength training for golfers, sports nutrition, water exercises for disabled individuals and aerobics for seniors. Some options address psychological factors involved in exercise, such as motivation to become fit, positive affirmations for success and the use of imagery in athletics. A fitness professional who wants to add a new activity to her teaching offerings may need to learn and master that activity herself. She can complete intensive coursework in activities such as Pilates and yoga.

Check it out here for details on how to sign up for continuing education courses that can be completed through online home study.

Reviewing the Vapourlites Blueberry/Strawberry E Juice

Hi everyone. So I was asked by the good folks over at Vapourlites to give their e-juice a try since I have done reviews for them in the past for their e-cigarettes, so naturally I agreed. 

Now I will be the first to be honest and tell you all that I have never used a refillable e-cigarette until today. I felt a bit ‘special’ when it came to filling it, if you know what I mean.

So once I figured out where to put the e-juice the next problem was getting the bottle open. I must say that UK standards for child safety locking devices are superior to ours here in the US, as it took me a good 5 minutes to figure out how to finally get the bloody thing open (see previous ‘special’ reference.) So thankfully my eGot-T e-cigarette came pre-charged so I didn’t need to wait around for it to charge. And at first I must admit when I had filled the reservoir and took my first couple of drags, I didn’t not have the blueberry taste that I was hoping for, but by the 5th puff it was there. Much like the other products that they sent me in the past to try I was really surprised by the fact that the vapor was so smooth and light. It wasn’t heavy and harsh like traditional cig’s. And the delightful taste really enhanced the sensation of smoking.

I am one of those people who loved flavored cigarettes and especially love cloves. So having tasted the Blueberry and the Strawberry I can only guess at how amazingly wonderful their other flavors that they offer would be. What I truly love about Vapourlites is that they come in various strengths from 0mg – 18mg (or 1.8%) Nicotine. They have a deal where you can buy 3 flavors for £10 (roughly $17USD) which is an amazing deal as I have looked around on e-Bay and they don’t even have those types of deals. Each vile is about $7.00 which is a really good price as you get about 200-225 traditional cigarettes. Last time I was at the store and priced cigs they were almost $10 a pack, and here in Washington we pay a Sin Tax which makes them almost $13.

Also it has been suggested that smoking e-cigarettes is healthier for you, and in many cases you can smoke in public establishments that normally ban smoking.

So if you are ready to make the switch and want a good quality product for not a lot of money I really do suggest heading over to http://www.vapourlites.com and pick yourself up a starter kit, or some e-juice if you are already an e-cig owner. You wont be disappointed.

What Your Skin Says About Your Health

The skin is the largest organ in the body and it reflects the overall health of a person. Physicians can diagnose a disease simply by looking at your skin. This is why the best way to achieve glowing skin is to take care of your whole body and not just the superficial aspect.

What looks like a simple skin problem can be an indicator for a serious health problem. Here are few signs to look for: Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13dcwMegXlw

Excess hair growth

To have a smooth skin means to be free of unwanted hair in the legs and arms. However, excess hair growth in unlikely places such as face, chest and stomach in women may indicate PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

This endocrine problem occurs commonly among childbearing women and the abnormal level of androgen hormone triggered the growth of unwanted hair and leads to infertility.

Dark Circles or Velvet Plaques on Neck

Medically known as acanthosis nigricans, this skin condition is common among obese individuals and can be found on the armpit or the neck. This is a sign of insulin imbalance which often associated with Diabetes Type 2.

Pale Appearance

If you look pale, your diet lacks fruits and vegetables or overweight. Increase your fruits and vegetables consumption to get the healthy skin glow. These healthy food choices contain carotenoid and it adds color to your skin. Carotenoid is responsible for the orange color in carrots and red color in tomatoes. Since this nutrient is fat soluble, overweight individuals may have to double their fruits and veggies consumption.

Wrinkles

Wrinkles indicate aging but deep wrinkles may be a sign of brittle bones or osteoporosis. A recent study done among menopausal women showed a connection between wrinkles and bone density. Women with deeper wrinkles have higher risk of getting a fracture due to low bone density. Heavy smoking also contributes to wrinkling of the face and weakens the bones.

Allergies, cottage cheese skin, dry skin and pimples can be treated by taking anti-histamine drug, applying topical medication for pimples and avail ionithermie cellulitereduction treatment for your orange peel skin.

However, there are skin problems that shouldn't be taken lightly. Visit your doctor for any disturbing symptoms and do a physical exam yearly. By doing this, you allow early intervention for any life threatening diseases.

Taking care of yourself naturally

The health and nutrition business is a multi-billion dollar industry. As the population at-large ages and information about environmental and food toxicity increases, people are becoming more aware of, and seeking better means of, keeping themselves as healthy as possible. One big seller is nutritional cleansing products. These are supplements that contain herbs and other natural ingredients and promote the safe and healthy release of toxins from the human body. They work by removing harmful substances at the cellular level and replacing vital nutrients that are often lost or destroyed by stress and such things as environmental pollution, bad health or improper diet.

Vapourlites

 

Recently I was contacted by the maker Vapourlites and was asked to do a review on them. With the new sensation of e-cigarettes this was something that I was happy to do.

I am a social smoker and do not care for the traditional cig, but have found that I am really loving the freedom but not the taste of some e-cigarettes. To me, most e-cigarettes taste very chemically and have an unpleasant taste, even when supposed to be flavored. This is not the case with Vapourlites.
The one’s that I was sent to try out were the menthol version. On first puff I was delighted to feel and taste the difference. The menthol was almost berry flavored, it was light, and not irritating to my lungs at all. Now mind you like I said I am a social smoker so any bit of smoking typically hurts my lungs. But not these.

I was also delighted in the fact that I was sent what is called a micro e-cigarette. It is half the size of a regular cig but with the same quality flavor but even more discreet. I also like the fact that you can buy refill kits that are the equlivant of 100 cigarettes for less than 3 packs of traditional cigarettes, and that the refill kits come in a variety of flavors.

But how do Vapourlites work?

This makes it ideal for smokers who are barred from public establishments that do not allow smoking. Because the vapor is nontoxic and oder-less, it is unobtrusive and virtually undetectable. Another thing about e-cigs is that they are a valuable tool to help cut down and reduce smoking cravings.
The e-cigarette has less nicotine vs. traditional cigarettes, but provides you with all the satisfaction of a traditional.

Honestly I can say that Vapourlites are my new go to brand for when Im out with my friends. I give this product a 9 out of 10. The draw back that I see with this is that there is no holder. Im afraid that I would lose it. But other than that I am loving it, and can not wait to show it off to my friends.

Fresh Healthy Vending

So I recently found out that there is a company that is setting up Fresh Vending Machines nation wide. The vending business isn’t something new, but it is a fresh idea when you can vend healthy choices and not potato chips and soda.

“Obesity has become a health crisis of epic proportions. By making healthy foods available in convenient locations, you can take an active role in the fight!…” Dieting and choosing the right foods is sometimes really hard. You don’t want to place processed foods into your body, but having a salad can be expensive. That is what makes Fresh Vending so amazing, because for the price of a candy bar and a soda you could have a healthy alternative like a bottled water and some baby carrots.

It may seem like a ludicrous concept, but junk food consumption can lead to obesity, which is slowly killing adults and children alike. Thankfully, people are finally waking up to the health crisis of adult and childhood obesity. A healthy food movement is happening and you can lead the charge.

I think this is a revolutionary idea and wish that there was a Fresh Vending machine in my neighborhood!!
