According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

Cold & Flu Prevention And Treatment
In any given day, you are exposing yourself to a multitude of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungus as you interface with other people in the workplace, at school, through public transportation, and even with other family members. This is simply a natural part of living in the world, to which a healthy body can easily adjust and compensate.
Prevention
Because the cold and flu virus is passed around from person to person the only way to really prevent them totally is to become a hermit. The more people that you come into contact with the better your chances are of catching the virus. If there is a lot of cold and flu sickness going around here are some ways you can help reduce your chances of catching them:
Get a flu shot every year. Your family doctor will give you more information about flu shots such as when to get them and if he/she recommends for you to get it.
One of the overlooked reasons for catching a flu or cold is the lack of rest and sleep. Inadequate rest and sleep can cause the breakdown of your immune system making you more vulnerable to the cold and flu viruses.
Washing your hands on a regular basis will help out alot. This is because most of the time you catch the virus by touching someone that has it and then rubbing your eyes, nose, or mouth. You can also catch the virus if someone near you who has is it sneezes or coughs and you breathe it in… not really much you can do about that.
Keeping warm and avoiding sudden temperature changes such as being in a warm home and going into the cold outdoors will help prevent the virus. Always wear warm clothing when moving from a warm place to a cold place as this will increase your resistance to these viruses.
If you smoke then quit. Smokers aren’t more vulnerable, but when they catch a cold or flu virus the symptoms are much worse than they are non-smokers. Kicking the habbit is not easy but will be well worth it when it comes to your health. There are many products that can assist you in breaking the habit such as Stop-It Smoking Kit and products like Smokeshield that can protect your lungs from smoke and other pollutants.
Keeping a strong immune system is very important to preventing the cold and flu virus. Your immune system is what fights off the viruses and keep you healthy and feeling good.
One of the best defenses against the cold and flu is to be prepared for it in the even that you or a family member catches it. Having cold and flu treatment products in your home ahead of time is much better than rushing out to the 24 hour convenience store at 3 a.m. trying to find something to comfort yourself or a family member.
Treatment
Just because there is no guarantee that you will not catch a cold or flu virus, that doesn’t mean that you can’t treat it. Here are some treatments that you can use to make someone with the virus more comfortable:
- Rest in bed and stay warm. Avoid any physical exertion as much as possible.
- Drink plenty of fluids such as water, juice, and clear soups. Stay away from alcoholic beverages.
- Take plenty of Vitamin C.
- If you are a smoker then avoid smoking and the smoke from other people.

Insomnia – The Symptoms, Affects, and Treatments
Do you lie awake at night spending more time staring at the ceiling than sleeping? You are not alone! Millions of other people are experiencing the same thing all across the world. They wake up in the middle of the night, can’t fall back to sleep and rise before dawn.
Forms Of Insomnia
Insomnia comes in many forms, not just in the form of sleeplessness:
The Symptoms Of Insomnia
Insomnia can have a serious affect on a person’s daily life style. Symptoms of insomnia can include all of the following:
Types Of Insomnia
Causes Of Insomnia
There are many causes for insomnia. Below are some of the most common reasons people suffer from insomnia.
Tips For Getting A Good Night’s Sleep
Following some of the helpful guidelines below can help you get a better night’s sleep:
Set A Schedule
Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. This will help your body get used to a sleeping pattern. “Sleeping in” on the weekends can cause insomnia because it is interrupting the sleep cycle that your body is used to.
Get Some Exercise
Try to get 20 to 30 minutes of exercise no sooner than 6 hours before bedtime- any exercise just before bed may cause you not to sleep that well.
Avoid Caffeine, Nicotine, and Alcohol
Avoid things that contain any caffeine such as coffee, soda pop, teas, and candy. Smokers usually sleep very lightly at night and will wake up at the slightest noise, sometimes not being able to fall back asleep. The same goes for people that drink alcohol just before going to bed.
Do Something Relaxing Before Going To Bed
Doing something that relaxes you before bed is good such as a warm bath, reading a book, or watching your favorite TV show.
Do Not Over Sleep
Be sure to wake up and get out of bed at your normal time frame. Sleeping more hours than you are used to will throw off your sleep cycle and cause sleeping problems. It may cause you to not be tired at night and then go to bed later, thus resulting in sleeping in even later the next morning.
Control Your Room Temperature
Extreme cold or warmth can cause you to sleep poorly. Be sure to maintain a comfortable room temperature that won’t aggravate you during the night. If you have a waterbed be sure to set the water temperature at a comfortable temperature as well.
When It Is Time To See A Doctor
If your sleeping problem persists for more than one month then it may be time to visit your family doctor. Your doctor will be able to give you advice for your particular needs and can prescribe stronger sleeping aides that are not available over the counter.
