Cancer Prevention

77% of the cancer cases are related to a person’s lifestyle, as reported by the American Institute for Cancer Research. Accordingly, the following types of people are most likely to attract cancer: 

 1. People who are obese 

2. Those who do very little physical activities 

3. Those who enjoy oily food 

4. Meat eaters and those who consume very little vegetables 

5. Smokers

6. Heavy drinkers 

7. Have a liking for salty stuff 

8. Enjoy eating preserved food 

9. Those who are under great pressure 

10. Those who worry a lot 

 Here are the 10 tips to keep cancer at arm’s length: 

 1. Watch out for your BMI (body mass index): For Asian, it should be around 18.5 to 22.9. 

2. . Physical activities to make you sweat: You walk, jog, dance, cycle, or climb stairs for at least 30 minutes each day. 

 3. Drink green tea: Green Tea contains antioxidants to stifle cancer. 

 4. Eat a lot of fresh vegetables: Eating more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes such as beans can help you to prevent cancer of the digestive system. 

 5. Eat less fat: For example, you drink skimmed milk instead of full cream milk. When you eat chicken just remove the skin. As for cooking try to steam instead of fry. 

 6. Eat more poultry and less red meat: Eat more chicken and fish instead of pork, mutton, and beef. 

 7. Give up smoking and drinking: It does not matter how old you are. The moment you stop these habits you can reduce the chances of getting cancer.

 8. Avoid sugary drinks, food high in added sugar and consume less salty foods: Drink water to quench your thirst instead of carbonated drinks. 

 9. Breastfeeding: It is best for mothers to breastfeed for up to 6 months. According to research breastfed babies have fewer chances of getting cancer and for breastfeeding mothers, the chance of getting breast cancer is much less. 

 10. Be happy: When you worry and under pressure, you are more likely to be a victim of cancer. For those who are always under pressure, their immune systems are less active.

Education and Your Children

Education and Your Children

Nowadays seeking quality higher education is just as competitive as the business world. Just look around you, when it is examination season some parents even go to the extent of taking leave just to accompany their child to get over this critical period. The child is not under pressure but the parents are. 

We cannot deny having good academic results are the passport to higher education of your choice. So we cannot ignore the marks scored by your child at school. How to get better marks in the examinations? 

 A well-developed mental faculty 

A healthy and fit body

 High EQ or stable emotion

 Effective study methods 

 When you lack one of them your success rate will be discounted. As long as your child is not dumb he will have the potential to succeed. As long as your child does not fall ill most of the time he is considered healthy. The environment that you bring up your child decides his emotional stability. Parents need to observe their children closely and shower them with love and create a happy atmosphere for the child. 

 As for the last point, the child needs to work hard to score well, no sweat no gain. The most important point to remember is that when your child is happy he will be able to do well and get good results. 

However, when your child does his best and yet he can't score well then you just have to accept the fact. One way to do it is to lower the expectation of your child. Instead of aiming for the top three positions perhaps among the top ten positions will be more practical. Don’t bother too much about your child's academic results. There are cases of children whose results may be so-so while they are at school but they are able to achieve great success in their career. On the other hand, there’re cases of children who excel in their studies and yet they cannot perform well in their career. Maybe they have a poor relationship with others. Do not be too happy when your child obtains flying colors in his examinations and too concerned when your child’s results are not as good as expected.

Unique and Original Articles – 7 Traffic Tips

Increase Website Traffic

How do you take advantage of your unique and original articles that you have written to send traffic to your site? Here are the 7 traffic tips:

1. Blog Posts: You write your unique and original articles and post them to your own site. And from your blog you let the search engines search your site by the keywords that you have used in your articles. More than 50 % of surfers look for information on the Net by keying in certain search words. When the keywords in your article match their searches your article is listed among others by the search engine.

2. Article Distribution: You select from your articles and submit your popular ones to article directories. For each article that you submit you add, at the end of the article, the URL of your site and also the URL of the original article.
When you do these, you comply with Google‘s advice so that the crawler will know where the original article is and also there is no duplication of content. Secondly, you build two backlinks to your site. One is directly linking to your front page and another one is linking to the article page.

3. Social Bookmarking: This is another excellent way to build traffic to your site. When your article is bookmarked, readers will have to click the link at the bookmarking site in order to go to your site to read the full story. You can bookmark your articles in many places: Mixx, Furl, Digg. Reddit, Propeller, Faves, and many more.

4 Join Blog Carnivals: This is by far the best way to bring traffic to your site. You can join blog carnivals at blogcarnival.com. When your article is selected, your article link and your blog link can be found in the organizer’s article at his site. It is actually a wonderful one-way backlink to improve your Page Rank and Traffic Rank. Check this carnival that I joined recently at Thatsblog.

5 Submit Your Blog to Blog Directories: By joining blog directories you are also encouraging traffic from other members of the directories to visit your blog. For some directories, your articles are listed and linked to your site. Bloglines, Blogarama, Blogdigger, Blogflux, and Bloggernity are some of the many directories that you can join and direct traffic to your site.

6 Forums: Participation in forums discussing about subjects relating to your blog posts is also a good way to send traffic to your site because you provide a URL link to your site at your signature panel.

7 Comments: Just like forums when you make comments on other sites you also leave a one-way backlink to your site. When you share a common interest with the site that you have commented you are also prompting the blog owner to visit your site.

Syndicate Your Unique and Original Articles and Avoid Duplicate Content

How to Syndicate Articles

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary “duplicate” (adjective) means exactly like something else; made as a copy of something else. So, duplicate content means the exact content as the original. 

 On the other hand, Google’s crawler is always hungry for unique original articles to be presented to searchers. According to Google’s Webmaster Central Blog, it is stated that ”Our users typically want to see a diverse cross-section of unique content when they do searchers. In contrast, they’re understandably annoyed when they see substantially the same content within a set of search results.” 

In the same article, it is further stated that if you syndicate your content on other sites, make sure they include a link back to the original article on each syndicated article. 

So how do you use your unique and original articles to attract traffic to your site without being suspected of duplication? From among your articles choose the most popular ones and send them to article directories like ezinarticles.com. At the end of each article that you submit there is a resource box. You put a URL link to your site. At the same time, you also put a URL link to your original article. This is what I have added in the resource box at the end of an article that I submitted to ezinearticles.com: My Blog: All About Living With Life Posted originally by the author at Heart - Love it or Die in 5 Ways By doing this you are killing two birds with one stone. Firstly, there is no duplication of content, because from the two links crawler will know where the original article is. Secondly, you have 2 one-way backlinks from a site with a Traffic Rank of 268 as of October 22, 2008. One is linking to your front page and another one is linking to your article page.

"Flyer” Article and “Filler” Article

Are you Writing the right Article?

A flyer is a piece of advertisement. You either advertise your products or your services. It is a brilliantly conceived and well-thought-out copy to give maximum impact. What is a Flyer article then? Like a flyer, a Flyer article is written with forethought, you already know what you are going to write. You either have thought about it or it is from your creative juice. So when you write the ideas will just flow through and it does not take too long to complete the first draft. A Flyer article is a unique and original article that you have incubated for quite a while. It is well written and is appealing to the readers. 

 On the other hand, a filler is something that we use to fill up something. There is a small hole on the wall and you fill-up the hole with something. You just need to do it or else it is an eyesore. Likewise, a Filler article is written without any preconceived ideas. There are no creative thoughts coming. You have no idea what to write. On the day when you are supposed to write but you do not know what to write. But you know you have to come up with something. Somehow you get an article out. There are no advanced ideas for the article. This type of article is less attractive to the readers though it is a perfect article in terms of grammar and structure. 

There is no punch in the content I would like to give these two terms some new meanings. A Flyer article is an article written with a lot of thoughts or ideas from your creative juice. The article is well written. It is compelling. It carries weight and the readers love it. A Filler article, on the contrary, is written with no original thoughts at all. There is no plan to write the article just that you have to write one. So a Filler article has less appeal. A pillar article is a flyer article but not all flyer articles are pillar articles. What is your comment?

Honey is a Many-Splendored Thing

Honey

Honey is a sweet delight. I always keep a bottle handy at home. It is a wonderful way to quench thirst on a hot day with a refreshing drink by mixing cold water with honey. Like all things natural, honey is full of health and medicinal values. 

 Honey is made up of sugars like fructose and glucose. You can also find minerals like magnesium, and potassium in it. Honey is also a great source of vitamin C and a variety of B vitamins such as niacin and riboflavin. 

 Here is some of the goodness of honey: 

 · As it has anti-inflammatory properties, honey can be used to cure sore throat and heal wounds easily. Honey is also a natural antiseptic. When you have a cut you can apply honey to it to prevent infections. Honey can be applied to burns as well.

 · You can also treat stomach ulcers with honey. 

 · It is also a tonic drink to boost your energy.

 · Honey is rich in amino acids. Their presence is induction of its antioxidant capacity. Antioxidants slow the aging process by neutralizing free radicals. 

 · Tryptophan is also present in honey. It is a natural relaxant. It helps reduce anxiety and depression and induce you to get normal sleep.

 · Honey is a good moisturizer. It helps reduce skin problems like pimples.

 · Honey increases calcium retention so that you can stay younger longer. 

 · It is rich in aspartic acid, an important amino acid that is involved in the rejuvenation processes, especially in the rejuvenation of sex glands. 

 Let honey be a part of your daily healthy living.

PageRank, Article Writing and My Blog

My blog is celebrating its first anniversary today. For the past one year, I have learnt many things: from PageRank to Traffic Rank, from pay per click to pay per action, from search engines to search engine optimization, from feeds to pings, from social bookmarking to blog directories, from article writing to keywords. I learned the hard way because I am an alone blogger. And I blog only when I have the time. As I have written and posted one article a day. My article writing skills have come a long way. When I just started my articles were very short. As I go on writing consistently day after day, my writing style has improved by leaps and bounds. Now, I am able to write more than 500 words per article. Lately I have received favorable comments from the readers. These comments are sincere because they are not my friends and I don’t know them. I must thank them for motivating me to write better articles. Sometime in May this year, I had a pleasant surprise. I noticed a PageRank of 1 (see image) on the screen. You know, six months ago I had no links and nothing else. All that I had were just my own articles. A few months later I was again surprised to see that my PageRank was downgraded to 0. Like many other bloggers have experienced, PageRank is an elusive thing. Now you see it, now you don't. From 1 to 0 is noting. There are others who were slapped with a 0 or no grading at all from a PageRank of 5 or 4. Now my inner pages are graded 1 again and hopefully, I can see my ranking back to 1 on the front page soon. It will be a timely gift for my blog’s birthday.
