Swine flu as we all know is no news to us any more.. Everyday you read about people dying from this life threatening virus and we have been told it is now turning into a pandemic and people are becoming worried over the outbreak of this bug. The question now is how can we protect ourselves and our families from swine flu and for how long. The thing is that swine flu is on the rise and could reach a peak in autumn or winter and many more people will contract this bug, but the Health Secretary Andy Burnham has assured us that the virus is mostly proving to be a mild bug and so there is no need to worry and certainly no need to change our daily routine. Of cause i will go about my business and nobody will be prefer to sit at home and expect manner to fall from above, you only have to be cautious and go about your business regardless of how fast the flu is spreading.
The Health Secretary has also assured us that vast majority will make a good and quick recovery and that there is enough Tamiflu for everyone. Should that make us feel happy or worry less well i don't know, the only thing i know is that the only way you can avoid contracting swine flu is by protecting yourself and your family is to catch it properly with your tissue, bin it and kill it by washing your hands properly but will that do the magic, i guess you have an answer to that. You can get the latest information on the symptoms of swine flu and what to do if you feel you have contracted it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wK1127fHQ4
Although we have been told as on the 23rd of July 2009 by the U.K Health Protection agency that more than 700 people worldwide have been killed by this bug and around 55,000 Brits have reported flu symptoms in the past week but are they all linked to swine flu, well not yet proven but am sure some of this symptoms are also similar to those of a seasonal flu and will not require an anti virals but can be treated at home. My main corncern is that the rate at which this virus is spreading and killing innocent victims is becoming scary and most fatalities will occur in people with respiratory diseases or immune system deficiencies, along with patients recovering from one form of operation moreover children and babies are not left out. I only hope and pray that this nightmare will be over soon and that a cure for this deadly virus will be discovered soon because i do not know who the next victim will be neither do you.

THE TRUE MEANING OF MARRIAGE
Marriage as we all know is a legal union of a man and a woman for cohabitation and often procreation, but nowadays anybody can fall in love and marry as long as there is someone out there who is willing join them together.
The word marriage started right from the beginning of Gods creation. God decided to create man in his own image and therefore he created Adam but found out it wasn’t good for Adam to be alone and then he created a helper and name her Eve whom we where told from the Bible was created from Adams ribs. Adam felt contented with what God has provided for him and said “this is the bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”, but God didn’t stop there, he also made a statement which I believe declared marriage as a divine institution and he quotes “Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh”.
Now lets look into our modern way of life and the whole issue of marriage. Marriage itself is meant to be a beautiful thing but a lot of people see marriage as a chore and feel they can marry today and divorce the next day. Even young teenagers tend to fall in love and the next thing that comes to their mind is marriage. There is more to love that what you see on the surface . Love is caring, gentle, kind, forgiving, enduring, etc and not just liking someone just because he or she is funny, handsome, smart and so on. If you cannot love your wife or husband unconditionally, then your marriage is set to fall apart.
Another thing a you should do before getting married is to ask yourself these questions, am I really ready for this, do really know who am going to spend the rest of my life with, am I mentally, financially okay, emotionally ready and finally the most important one spiritually sound and prepared. This is just the most important aspect of it, if you are not spiritually prepared your marriage is doomed because the fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom.

You may say am beginning to sound religious but that is just the main truth, because when you decided to marry in a church and are being blessed by a priest and then you take you vows in the presence of God, the priest and whole congregation who have come to witness your marriage ceremony and the day you accepted the flesh of your flesh into your life, you are not just doing it for fun, you are also moving into a new stage in life and starting a new life with your soul mate and also allowing God to bless your marriage because he has already sanctioned it.
One thing you should bear in mind is that love is a feeling, marriage is a contract and relationship is a work and the bond of all companionship whether in marriage or in friendship is conversation.

WEIGHT LOSS: IS IT REALLY ACHIEVEABLE.
I have asked myself so many times if it is really possible to lose weight, but deep down inside me I have always been sceptical about the whole issue because everyone seems to be praising one form of slimming pills or weight loss programmes or even the so called herbal supplements for making them look fabulous , while I have done nothing to shed those fat that has been tormenting me since I gave birth three years ago. I have two beautiful children and have always been a size 10 but immediately I got pregnant I started to eat for two not caring about my weight. As soon as I gave birth nine months later I became so tired, depressed and had to depend on food to console myself.
I never bothered to shed those pounds on me because I was so lazy to exercise and felt that since looking after a baby would help me shed them. I was very wrong, I ballooned from a size 10 to 18. My friends would look at me and tell me to do something to my weight but I just ignored them and continued to eat. I have always hated the idea of being called names because of my weight so I decided to start exercising but that didn’t help because I was only able to do it for 10 minutes a day, immediately I finish exercising I start looking for something to munch, I even tried some weight loss pills but none of them did the magic for me until I came across a special diet pill called proactol.
So the question is did proactol help me achieve my goals?
And the answer is a big fat YES, what i did was to make sure i exercise for a minimum of five 30-minutes session per week, reduce my calorie intake and at the same time take my diet pills. Although there are hundreds of weight loss products on the market, but few have been clinically proven to be effective. There are products on the market that are proven to have very similar benefits to Orlistat in reducing fat in take, but with out the nasty side effects.

Proactol™ is a relatively new weight management product that also reduces fat from the food we eat by around 30%, but in a different way. Proactol™ - Safe, Clinically Proven Fat BinderProactol™ is based on a patented fiber complex, that rather than just preventing fat from being broken down, pulling in fat molecules and binding them into a viscous solution in the stomach. Initial user feedback of Proactol™ is extremely positive, and as well as reducing fat intake. Proactol has the following associated benefits: But more importantly, not only do they believe Proactol is worth mentioning as an alternative weight loss program, its appearance within this top 5 is also due to slimmer’s and dieticians voting for it.
So the thing is that when you combine regular exercise which is probably the most important prediction of whether you will succeed at long term weight loss and proactol diet pills, am sure you will achieve your goal and remember that regular exercise does not only help you lose fat but also helps burn calories.
