Taking Care of Your Ears

The ear is a delicate sensory mechanism that supplies important information about the external environment to our brain. Ears need to be cared for and protected from harm. So, here are some following tips to protect your ears:

• Avoid blows to the outer ear - if you wrestle, box or participate in a contact sport such as rugby, wear headgear that includes protection for your ears. Repeated blows to the outer ear can result in a condition called cauliflower ear, in which the cartilage of the ear is damaged and the ear becomes deformed.
• Pierce carefully, particularly if piercing cartilage - an infected piercing can cause permanent damage to the outer ear, something that will ruin the look of any earring.
• Clean your ears with a washcloth-covered finger only - never put anything inside your ear canal, including cotton swabs. Your ear canal is very narrow, and a swab or finger can damage it; they can also cause ear wax to get pushed against the ear drum, which can cause hearing problems.

best way to fitness

Warm up with a slow jog for 10 to 15 minutes, then repeat this pattern three to four times: two minutes at a hard effort followed by four minutes easy running or walking to recover. Finish with a 10 minute jog or walk to cool down.

First jog for 10 minutes to warm up. Then run a hilly course outdoors for 20 minutes. Choose hills that take three to four minutes to run up, and focus on your form. Shorten your stride, pump up your arms, and don’t let your upper body slump. And, jog or walk for 10 minutes to cool down.

During the first week, run at a slow, conversational pace for 40 minutes. Add five minutes to the run each week until you reach 60 minutes. If you are new to running, power walk for two minutes every five to eight minutes to increase your distance comfortably with less risk of injury.

understanding your partner

In brain-imaging studies, women have more blood flow to the parts of their brains that produce and interpret language, and there are more interconnections between less well-defined connections between the verbal and emotional parts of the brain. Early childhood studies have shown that girls have a greater capacity for verbal communication than boys they are more skilled using words as a way of sharing their experience.

The big problem between husband and wives if that they don’t realize how the other functions. A woman expects that since she is able to freely talk about her emotions, her husband is equally able to do so. Meanwhile, a man tends to view his wife’s efforts to communicate as simply sharing information, not as sharing emotional experience. So if she says ‘I’m upset that our son hasn’t called to tell us he got to his friend’s house’; he might say ‘I’m sure he’s all right,’ focusing on the ‘Is he safe?’ question. What she’s really saying is, ‘I’m anxious, I’m scared.’ But he’s not focusing on her emotional experience.
