Free Exercise Tips for Daily Exercise - Five Tibetan Rites. Free Exercise Tips for Daily Exercise Five Tibetan Rites - The Best Exercise of All by Stephanie Relfe B.Sc. (Sydney) Nov 14 2008 Use it or lose it. That is why you should exercise daily. Not just to be thin. Also, the only way the toxins which your body cells are always producing, just as your car produces exhaust gas, can move out of the body is if your muscles move, either by exercise of massage. When I was younger I used to exercise to lose weight. There was a time when I jogged five miles every day for three months to get thin. Once in my early days when I had a job looking after racehorses, I walked about nine miles a day, walking racehorses on a lead, fairly quickly. I tried doing the "Pump" exercises, which I still think are good.
No pain, more gain. I then discovered exercises that use only your own body weight. So, after all that, I have gone back to the Five Tibetan Rites that I learned about decades ago, and did periodically over the years. WARNING!!! SECOND WARNING!!! 1. 2.

The British and Norwegian study, published on the BMJ website, found painkillers significantly cut agitation in dementia patients. Agitation, a common dementia symptom, is often treated with antipsychotic drugs, which have risky side effects. The Alzheimer's Society wants doctors to consider other types of treatment.
Experts say that each year about 150,000 patients in the UK are unnecessarily prescribed antipsychotics, which have a powerful sedative effect, and can worsen dementia symptoms, and increase the risk of stroke or even death. They are often given to patients whose dementia makes them aggressive or agitated. They studied 352 patients with moderate or severe dementia in nursing homes in Norway.

By DOMINIC WEST UPDATED: 08:43 GMT, 20 June 2011 When public figures speak out about animal welfare issues, their views tend to be received with weary sighs. But the way we treat our livestock is not just a moral question. Industrial farming is making us ill. Across Europe, in countries including Germany, Romania and Britain too, industrial pork production is on the rise. Thankfully, people power is on the march. Dominic West: Star of cult TV programme The Wire, is supporting the campaign against proposed huge pig factory in Foston, Derbyshire I grew up in Derbyshire and my uncle was once a small-scale pig farmer – just the sort of person who would be put out of business by a development like this.
Despite 6,500 objections, including one from the Environment Agency, Midland Pig Producers (MPP) is seeking planning consent to build one of the largest pig farms in British history, capable of housing 25,000 animals.

By Luke Salkeld Updated: 10:59 GMT, 20 April 2010 Sarah Colwill, 35, from Plymouth said her new accent is starting to annoy her As anyone who suffers migraines knows, the pain can leave you speechless.
But Sarah Colwill has experienced a much more unusual vocal effect - she now speaks with a Chinese accent. The disturbing impact of a chronic migraine has left her voice unrecognisable to family and friends. Doctors say she has Foreign Accent Syndrome, a condition which damages the part of the brain that controls speech and word formation. It is so rare, there are only 60 recorded cases in the world. Mrs Colwill, 35, is baffled by the effects and fears she may never regain her normal pronunciation and tone of voice. She said the change happened after she had such an extreme headache last month that she called for an ambulance. Paramedics said her voice sounded strange and when she arrived at hospital she realised she was speaking like a Chinese woman.
