11 Floor Lamp Ideas Just Right for a Contemporary Home

Posted in التسميات:







Lighting is such a key element in any setting making floor lamp ideas an important accessory to consider when outfitting a home. There will always be situations that require adequate illumination to perform basic tasks such as reading newspapers, perusing through magazines, sewing or typing on a laptop. The basic fact is that people need to see what they are doing. That is where these accessories are so helpful. Ceiling installations and sconces offer a great baseline of lumens in a home, but there is a need to have more portable sources that can be moved around and adjusted, as the furniture layout changes in a room.

10 Stunning Wall Art Designs from Lovely Homes

Posted in التسميات:







Often people think wall art designs are way too aggressive for their tastes. Moreover, it is easy to tire of one after a few years. Those types of thoughts are very common. It is natural to be conservative in decorative styles and that is usually in good taste. Now, the more outlandish one reaches, then the greater likelihood for it being more on the bad taste side. There is a risk-reward tradeoff to consider. The risk is that it is bad, whereas the reward is something stunning that garners compliments from guests and family. I have to admit that it takes courage to go out there on a limb and change a wall from paint to something more adventurous. Today, we have pictures from ten lovely homes that show a wide range of styles and themes.

Sugary drinks and type 2 diabetes risk: Is it about more than excess kilos?

Posted in التسميات:






Australians love sugary drinks and we're not just talking cola and the like. Think sports drinks, energy drinks, cordials and even fruit juices (which have a sugar content on par with soft drinks).

Not only are these sweet drinks bad for our teeth, they're loaded with kilojoules. Drink too many and you'll stack on weight and increase your risk of a host of diseases, including type 2 diabetes.

In fact one recent study found for every extra sugar-sweetened drink you have per day, there was an 18 per cent increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes causes raised levels of glucose, a type of sugar, in the blood. It can damage vital organs and lead to deadly heart attacks and strokes.

Why health experts are asking governments to consider the health impacts of all policies

Posted in التسميات:






'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure', Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying.

But as bang-for-your-buck as prevention may be when it comes to your health, adopting a healthy lifestyle is not as simple as it may sound.

It's easy enough to say, "don't smoke and you're less likely to get cancer", or "eat healthy food and exercise regularly and you're less likely to become overweight". But what if you grew up in a smoking household? What if you don't have enough money to buy fresh vegetables and don't have the know-how or time to prepare meals with them? What if your job pays so little, you have to work double shifts just to make ends meet and don't have time to do any exercise?

Preventive health goes way beyond individual choices, because our health - particularly when it comes to chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease - is influenced by factors that are often far beyond our individual control. These factors are known as the social determinants of health.
