Food, Health, and Environment in Qatar

Doctors may sound like broken records as they lecture to various
audiences even in far-flung areas (usually pro bono) but nothing can be
more encouraging to see that at the end of these forums, the lay
participants have a clearer and more accurate picture of what can
potentially maim them. With that, they are in a better position to
prevent hypertension’s serious complications.

Myth 1: High blood pressure is usually associated with symptoms, particularly headache, dizziness, nervousness and anxiety.

There are many things you can do to help stay safe and healthy that don't take much time or effort. Take a few minutes each day to protect yourself and your family.

Being healthy and safe takes commitment, but it doesn't have to be time-consuming, painful, or boring. Most things are so simple and take so little time, that you'll wonder why you've been avoiding them. You can get big rewards just by taking small steps to prevent illness and injury.

You won't necessarily "see" the rewards, such as the extra pounds you don't gain, the high blood pressure you won't get, or the emergency room visit you'll avoid. That's a good thing!

Caffeine consumption by pregnant women can increase the risk of miscarriage, a new study reports.

And, it doesn't matter if the caffeine comes from coffee, tea, soda or hot chocolate. What does matter is the amount -- the study found that when women drink more than 200 milligrams of caffeine daily, the risk of miscarriage increases twofold.

Hi everyone, i am a new yoga teacher in Qatar and am looking to provide Moksha Yoga classes should anyone be interested. I am currently looking for a space to hold classes, but if you have a large empty room where you can hold a class then I am more than willing to teach a group of people. For more information about the Moksha Yoga series you can visit my website at www.grassrootsyoga.c....

Hi all,
Regarding drinking water. I remeber there was a thread at one stage on QL that mentioned that we should change the brand of water that we use in order to prevent the build up of certain minerals in our system.

My question - how often is recommended?

Also, do you all use your drinking water for cooking as well? I usually use it for cooking, and even to soak my rice in. But I wash my veges and fruit under the tap water. And I'll cook pasta in tap water.

Any suggestions about what is best?
Thanx

Hiya all,
I have a query about Air conditioners. With the hot season here some of the ACs in my house are on nearly 24hours! I understand that they are merely recycling the air in the house (plus cooling it).

My question is, how often should we be opening the windows and letting in the (hot) fresh (?) air in to 'change' the air in the house? Back home we don't tend to use the ACs that often, but rely on the afternoon sea breeze to come.

Also, how often should AC filters be cleaned? Can this be done at home (by ourselves) or should this be done professionally?

Thanks

This is the TiFinity toothbrush. It has ultra fine titanium alloy-bristles which easily penetrate hard to reach areas,

It lasts at least 10 times the life span of leading toothbrushes (2-5 year life expectancy), removes more plaque than nylon, repels moisture and resists bacteria and has a $35-$50 price tag.
For that kind of money it had better be and do all that and more!
