			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are the facts about drug abuse in Florida. You should concern this as a huge problem that needs to be resolved immediately and we must support all actions those may needed to overcome. The facts are:</p>
<p>-Cocaine : Cocaine is the primary drug threat in Florida. Cocaine hydrochloride (HCI) is available throughout Florida from the gram to kilogram level. Additionally, drug trafficking organizations dealing in crack cocaine have been identified in Orlando, Gainesville, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Fort Pierce and West Palm Beach, thus demonstrating the availability of crack throughout Florida.</p>
<p>-Heroin : The majority of the heroin entering Florida is destined for markets outside the state along the East Coast, as Florida does not have a significant heroin abuse problem.</p>
<p>-Methamphetamine : Methamphetamine has impacted the majority of Florida’s 67 counties and use is widespread.</p>
<p>-Club Drugs : MDMA is the most readily available dangerous drug throughout Florida. MDMA is found at clubs and rave parties in all parts of Florida, and is frequently used in conjunction with other illegal and/or prescription drugs. GHB is commonly abused in Florida, as well as two precursors - GBL and Butanediol (BD).</p>
<p>-Diverted Pharmaceuticals : Unprecedented increases in levels of abuse pose a serious threat to the health and safety of Florida citizens. The Florida Medical Examiners report that five people die in Florida daily as a direct result of prescription drug overdoses. Investigations indicate that diversion of hydrocodone products such as Vicodin® and oxycodone products such as OxyContin® continues to be a problem in Florida.</p>
<p>-According to 2005-2006 data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 1.2 million (8%) of Florida citizens (ages 12 or older) reported past month use of an illicit drug.</p>
<p>-Approximately 6.4 million (42.78%) Florida citizens reported that using marijuana  occasionally (once a month) was a “great risk”.</p>
<p>-Additional 2005-2006 NSDUH results indicate that 437,000 (2.92%) Florida citizens reported illicit drug dependence or abuse within the past year. Approximately 285,000 (1.90%) reported past year illicit drug dependence. <a href="http://unityrehab.com/">Drug rehab florida</a> is a popular issues that we need to support in any ways.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are four periods of time when runners are most vulnerable to injury:</p>
<p>-During the initial 4 to 6 months of running</p>
<p>-Upon returning to running after an injury</p>
<p>-When the quantity of running is increased (distance)</p>
<p>-When the quality of running is increased (speed)</p>
<p>Most running injuries are caused by recurring factors that runners can often prevent or avoid themselves</p>
<p>Training errors are the most common source of injury, particularly lack of adequate stretching; rapid changes in mileage; an increase in hill training; interval training (going from slow speeds over long distances to faster over less ground); and insufficient rest between training sessions.</p>
<p>When selecting a running shoe, the athlete should look for a style that will fit comfortable and that will accommodate his or her particular foot anatomy. When a shoe’s mileage exceeds 500–600 miles, it should be replaced. Runners should keep also in mind potential anatomic abnormalities.</p>
<p>Hip disorders typically manifest themselves as groin pain. Back discomfort that radiates down the leg is cause for referral to a sports medicine specialist.</p>
<p>The patella (kneecap) is a common site of overuse injuries that can benefit from a 20 minute ice massage, a program of stretching and strengthening of the hamstring and quadriceps muscles and a short course of an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Surgery is rarely indicated.</p>
<p>Ankle laxity can lead to frequent ankle sprains and pain. Beneficial treatment includes muscle strengthening to increase stability, shoe modification to alter gait, and change of a running surface. Foot problems in runners are related to foot types. Nonoperative treatment such as orthotics and shoe modifications should be used if necessary.</p>
<p>The ideal surface on which to run is <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Running+Shoes">flat</a>, <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Running+Shoes">smooth</a>, <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Running+Shoes">resilient</a>, and <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Running+Shoes">reasonably soft</a>. Avoid concrete or rough road surfaces. If possible, use community trails that have been developed specifically for jogging and running, so you can measure your records for your exercises calculation and <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Heart+Rate+Monitors%20">monitoring your heart rate</a>, but you can also use <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Pedometers">speed and distance devices</a>. Use <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/trail+running+shoes">fine jogging shoes</a> to avoid unnecessary impacts on your feet.  Hills should be avoided at first because of the increased stress placed on the knee and ankle. During warmer, humid weather, increase fluid intake; in cool weather, dress appropriately. It is often helpful to weigh yourself before and after running on a hot, humid day. One pint of water should be consumed for every pound of weight lost. Avoid running during extremely hot and cold temperatures or when the air pollution levels are high. When running at higher altitudes, the runner should gradually acclimate to the lower oxygen levels by slow, steady increases in speed and distance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Overweight and overfat do not always mean the same thing. Some people are quite muscular and weigh more than the average for their age and height. However, their body composition, the amount of fat versus lean body mass (muscle, bone, organs and tissue), is within a desirable range. This is true for many athletes. Others weigh an average amount yet carry around too much fat. In our society, however, overweight often implies overfat because excess weight is commonly distributed as excess fat. The addition of exercise to a weight control program like <a href="http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/slimin6-products/slim-in-6.php">Slim in 6</a> helps control both body weight and body fat levels.</p>
<p>A certain amount of body fat is necessary for everyone. Experts say that percent body fat for women should be about 20 percent, 15 percent for men. Women with more than 30 percent fat and men with more than 25 percent fat are considered obese. How much of your weight is fat can be assessed by a variety of methods including underwater (hydrostatic) weighing, skinfold thickness measurements and circumference measurements. Each requires a specially trained person to administer the test and perform the correct calculations. <a href="http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/10-minute-trainer-products.php">10 Minute Trainer</a> is an interesting idea actually</p>
<p>From the numbers obtained, a body fat percentage is determined. Assessing body composition has an advantage over the standard height-weight tables because it can help distinguish between "overweight" and "overfat." An easy self-test you can do is to pinch the thickness of the fat folds at your waist and abdomen. If you can pinch an inch or more of fat (make sure no muscle is included) chances are you have too much body fat.</p>
<p>People who exercise appropriately increase lean body mass while decreasing their overall fat level. Depending on the amount of fat loss, this can result in a loss of inches without a loss of weight, since muscle weighs more than fat. However, with the proper combination of diet and <a href="http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/p90x.php%20">P90X </a> exercise for example, both body fat and overall weight can be reduced. <a href="http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/p90x.php" target="_blank">P90X Workout </a>is a product that will help you much.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 12px; padding: 5px;">And they want you to come back into the fold They want you to eat junk and spend leisure hours doing a whole lot of nothing. Don't do that Unlike poor Michael Corleone, you don't have to be sucked back in. We've come up with a few tips to keep you stay health at the office. despite the bad habits of your co-workers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> 1<span style="color: #ff0000;">.<strong> Head 'em off at the pass.</strong></span><strong> </strong>The thing is, if someone brings in a box of bear claws, they're going to seem a lot more attractive if you're hungry. So eat that balanced breakfast and have those healthy snacks on hand for the time between meals.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">2<strong>. Find food that stays fresh</strong></span><strong>.</strong> The frustrating thing about healthy food is that it doesn't keep; so, unlike Oreos, which would keep in your desk well into the next eon, a lot of fresh fruits and veggies, yogurt, and cottage cheese go bad quickly if not refrigerated. And if you do have a fridge at work, going there to get your healthy eats can be quite an ordeal when you have to walk past a caravan of crud sitting on the kitchen counter. So here are a few things you can keep at your desk that might last a little longer at room temperature:<br />
Uncut fresh fruit<br />
A handful of raw nuts (be careful with this one—less is more)<br />
A tub of protein powder (just add water!)<br />
A handful of whole grain cereal<br />
That may not seem like much, but there are hundreds of variations of at least three of those.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">3<strong>. Get the heck out of Dodge</strong></span><strong>.</strong> It's 10:50 AM. You're sweating bullets. It's "Pizza Friday" and, in about one hour, the walking dead will be shuffling to the kitchen for multiple slices of gooey cheese and sausage on Chicago-style crust. Even if you stay in your cubicle, the savory scent will find you. How will you resist?<br />
Well, when the going gets tough, the tough scram. At 11:50 AM, grab your good walking shoes and go for a stroll, have a picnic, go shopping, whatever. Just get out. That way you're avoiding the horror and getting a little cardio and vitamin D all in one fell swoop.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">4<strong>. Hook up to a slow drip</strong></span><strong>.</strong> You have the lunch and two snack times sorted out, but you never know when some supposed good Samaritan is going to swing by your office with a bowl of bite-sized Snickers, tempting you when you still have two hours until your next official eating time.<br />
If this is a problem, parse out your snacks. The trick is, you have to plan out the size of said snack in advance. So after breakfast, set aside X amount of whatever and graze on that—but when you're done, you're done. That's the key.<br />
The exception to this is raw, green veggies. It's really, really hard to eat too much broccoli or celery, so if that's your snack, eat yourself sick.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58" title="health office" src="http://wisconsinhealthplan.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/health-office.jpg" alt="health office" width="423" height="278" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">5<strong>. Give in to the dark side</strong></span><strong>.</strong> It's okay to be a little naughty sometimes. It keeps you sane, it makes a diet more palatable and, well, it tastes good. The key is moderation. First off, pick the amount of cheats you have in a week. For someone trying to lose weight, one or two is a good number. For those who have already reached their goals, more are okay.<br />
When the pizza comes, if this is going to be one of your weekly cheats, get your piece, love it, lavish it, pray to it, build a monument around it, and eat it—but then you're done. That's it. That was your cheat. No more. No, not another "half piece" or "cut off little bite." Just be done. Same goes for the candy bowl. Eat your mini Almond Joy and then walk away. Birthday ? Eat a small piece of cake. If they give you too much, cut it in half and dump half on someone else's plate, or pass it on until a smaller piece comes your way.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">6<strong>. Back against the wall. Sometimes</strong></span><strong>,</strong> there's an eventlunch with a client or an office partywhere all those "goodies" are unavoidable. When this happens, much of the above advice applies. Eat beforehand, use it as a cheat, etc.<br />
If it's at the office, make yourself a conservative plate, picking foods you know are at least sort of reasonable. A pasta salad is probably a better call than marshmallow salad, for example. Once you've finished your plate, throw it in the trash and be done. Get a glass of water in your hands so they aren't tempted to wander into the M&amp;M's bowl and relax.<br />
If it's an outing, a few simple rules help with any restaurant experience. Choose a lean meat/protein. Eat half of whatever they serve. Choose salad or fruit instead of fries. Order water instead of Coke. You should be all right.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">7<strong>. It's a matter of public record</strong></span><strong>.</strong> Put your "Before" and "After" photos on your desk. When temptation calls, have a look. Remember how far you've come. Reaffirm that long-term happiness outweighs a temporary sugar rush.<br />
It was hard work getting this far, so follow these few simple tips and it won't be for naught. The only thing you're going to get pulled into is a size 2 (or 30-inch waist) pair of jeans, you sexy beast you.</p>

<p>here now 5 Tips for make better work and your life balance</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #00ff00;">1. Figure Out What Really Matters to You in Life<br />
</span></strong></em>Personal coach Laura Berman Fortgang, author of NOW WHAT? 90 Days to a New Life Direction, says getting your priorities clear is the first and most essential step toward achieving a well-balanced life. The important point here is to figure out what you want your priorities to be, not what you think they should be.</p>
<p>"I use an exercise for figuring out what matters most," Fortgang tells WebMD. She has her clients take a couple days off from work to contemplate the following series of questions:</p>
<p>1. If my life could focus on one thing and one thing only, what would that be?<br />
2. If I could add a second thing, what would that be?<br />
3. A third?<br />
4. A fourth?<br />
5. A fifth?</p>
<p>If you answer thoughtfully and honestly, the result will be a list of your top five priorities. Fortgang says a typical top-five list might include some of the following:</p>
<p></span></span></p>
<p>Children<br />
Spouse<br />
Satisfying career<br />
Community service<br />
Religion/spirituality<br />
Health<br />
Sports<br />
Art<br />
Hobbies, such as gardening<br />
Adventure/travel<br />
Ismael Al-Ramahi, a graduate student at Baylor College of Medicine, says his current priorities are his wife, his 4-month-old son, and his research. He tells WebMD the key is not only knowing your priorities, but devoting your full attention to just one priority at a time. "Split your time and your mind so that you're thinking about work when you're at work and you're paying attention to the baby when you're with him."<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-21" title="Health work" src="http://wisconsinhealthplan.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Health-work-300x125.jpg" alt="Health work" width="300" height="125" /></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #00ff00;">2. Drop Unnecessary Activities</span></strong></em><br />
By making a concrete list of what really matters to you, you may discover you're devoting too much time to activities that aren't a priority, and you can adjust your schedule accordingly. Since having a baby, Al-Ramahi says he and his wife have become much more efficient in managing their time -- cutting back on television, for example.</p>
<p>If at all possible, Fortgang recommends dropping any commitments and pursuits that don't make your top-five list, because "unnecessary activities keep you away from the things that matter to you."</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;"><em><strong>3. Protect Your Private Time<br />
</strong></em></span>You would probably think twice before skipping out on work, a parent-teacher conference, or a doctor's appointment. Your private time deserves the same respect. "Carve out hours that contribute to yourself and your relationship," says Stevan Hobfoll, PhD, distinguished professor of psychology at Kent State University, and co-author of Work Won't Love You Back: The Dual Career Couple's Survival Guide. Guard this personal time fervently and don't let work or other distractions intrude. "Stop checking email and cell phones so often," Hobfoll advises. "Few people are so important that they need their phones on at all times."</p>
<p>If work consistently interferes with your personal time, Hobfoll recommends discussing some adjustments with your boss. "There's a mythology in the workplace that more hours means more," he tells WebMD. Demonstrate that you can deliver the same or better results in fewer hours. Your job performance "should never be judged in terms of hours of input," Hobfoll says. Protecting your private time often leads to "greater satisfaction in both work life and personal life, greater productivity, and more creativity."</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;"><em><strong>4. Accept Help to Balance Your Life<br />
</strong></em></span>Allow yourself to rely on your partner, family members, or friends -- anyone who can watch the kids or run an errand while you focus on other top priorities. "Try tag-teaming," Hobfoll suggests. "One spouse works out before dinner, one after dinner, while the other watches the kids."</p>
<p>To get more alone-time with your partner, accept babysitting offers from friends and family, or try arranging a regular trade-off with another couple. "'I'll watch your kids this Saturday if you watch mine next Saturday.' Tag-teaming is a great way to create extra free time," Hobfoll says.</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;"><em><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-22" title="Health-work" src="http://wisconsinhealthplan.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Health-work1-300x204.jpg" alt="Health-work" width="300" height="204" />5. Plan Fun and Relaxation</strong></em></span><br />
Fun and relaxation are an essential part of living a well-balanced life. That's why Brown makes time for weekly guitar lessons, a yoga class, a date night with his wife, and a guys' night out a couple times a month. In addition, he exercises on a trampoline in his backyard most days of the week. How does he squeeze in all this playtime while running his business and sharing the responsibilities of raising a daughter? "If you believe that the most important thing is to be happy in life (not when I'm a millionaire or when I retire but right now) then you can always make time."</p>
<p>Until you get into the habit of taking time for yourself, set aside space in your planner for relaxation and fun. Plan what you're going to do and make any necessary arrangements, such as childcare, to ensure you'll be able to keep your commitment. "Remember, you make time for what you want to make time for," Fortgang says. If something is important to you, don't brush it aside with a dismissive "I don't have time for that." You are in charge of your own schedule -- it's up to you to make time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a statistical measure which compares a person's weight and height. Though it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it is used to estimate a healthy body weight based on a person's height. Due to its ease of measurement and calculation, it is the most widely used diagnostic tool to identify weight problems within a population, usually whether individuals are underweight, overweight or obese. It was invented between 1830 and 1850 by the Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet during the course of developing "social physics". Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of his or her height. The formula universally used in medicine produce a unit of measure of kg/m2. BMI can also be determined using a BMI chart, which displays BMI as a function of weight (horizontal axis) and height (vertical axis) using contour lines for different values of BMI or colours for different BMI categories.</p>
<p>Some argue that the error in the BMI is significant and so pervasive that it is not generally useful in evaluation of health. Based on <a href="http://www.fitclick.com" target="_blank">body mass index calculator</a> research, University of Chicago political science professor Eric Oliver says BMI is a convenient but inaccurate measure of weight, forced onto the populace, and should be revised, so should the <a href="http://www.fitclick.com" target="_blank">BMI calculator.</a></p>
<p>The medical establishment has generally acknowledged some shortcomings of BMI. Because the BMI is dependent only upon weight and height, it makes simplistic assumptions about distribution of muscle and bone mass, and thus may overestimate adiposity on those with more lean body mass (e.g. athletes) while underestimating adiposity on those with less lean body mass (e.g. the elderly).</p>
<p>A 2005 study in America showed that overweight people had a similar relative risk of mortality to normal weight people as defined by BMI. In an analysis of 40 studies involving 250,000 people, patients with coronary artery disease with normal BMIs were at higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease than people whose BMIs put them in the "overweight" range (BMI 25–29.9). In the intermediate range of BMI (25–29.9), BMI failed to discriminate between bodyfat percentage and lean mass. The study concluded that "the accuracy of BMI in diagnosing obesity is limited, particularly for individuals in the intermediate BMI ranges, in men and in the elderly... These results may help to explain the unexpected better survival in overweight/mild obese patients.</p>
<p>Body composition for athletes is often better calculated using measures of body fat ( <a href="http://www.fitclick.com" target="_blank">body fat calculator </a>), as determined by such techniques as skinfold measurements or underwater weighing and the limitations of manual measurement have also led to new, alternative methods to measure obesity, such as the body volume index. However, recent studies of American football linemen who undergo intensive weight training to increase their muscle mass show that they frequently suffer many of the same problems as people ordinarily considered obese, notably sleep apnea, some say that's not the <a href="http://www.fitclick.com" target="_blank">best workout</a>. A further limitation relates to loss of height through aging. In this situation, BMI will increase without any corresponding increase in weight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #808080;"><em>A Weight Loss Plateau is a period that occurs while dieting when the body exhibits zero to minimal results in regards to weight loss. A Weight Loss Plateau may last for a few days, or several weeks.<br />
Weight Loss Plateaus are often confused with stagnated weight loss which occurs when the weight loss plan is too restricted in calories and the body struggles to maintain life itself. On that note, be certain that your weight loss plan is wise in the area of daily calories, taking great care to make healthy selections from those oh-so-important Food Groups housed within the Great Food Pyramid.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="WIDOWS: 2; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate; FONT: 16px 'times new roman'; WHITE-SPACE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: normal; COLOR: #000000; WORD-SPACING: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"><span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>Our tips for getting over the Weight Loss Plateau include:</strong></em></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">Support groups can assist in keeping you motivated to lose weight during this rough spot.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">- Ensure that you are experiencing a true Weight Loss Plateau rather than Diet Stagnation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">- Keep in mind that weight loss takes time. The body must slowly adjust to all the good things you're doing for it!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">- Strengthen your Willpower. Without Willpower and determination, it will be almost impossible to conquer the Great Weight Loss Plateau.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">- </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">- As the body drops pounds, calorie needs decrease. Make sure that you're not consuming too many calories to support your goal weight.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">- If you're eating the same foods day in and day out, change-up your weight loss plan which in turn can help boost the metabolism.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">- Exercise can help you over the Weight Loss Plateau. Boost up your current routine another 15 minutes per day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;">If you have a lot of pounds to lose, you may experience several Weight Loss Plateaus amid your Weight Loss Journey. In my personal experience, every ten pounds lost made a new Weight Loss Plateau surface.</span></p>
