			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">People might spend hours in their cars, because of the long distance that they must go through or it is because of the traffic jam had mostly happened in the big cities. What if the air that existed inside of the car is not clean? This will effect to the passenger inside. A dirty and dirty air inside car will make them discomfort and not healthy for the body.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Actually inside of the are machine there is a device called <span style="color: #00b0f0;"><a href="http://www.carid.com/air-filters.html" target="_blank">air filter</a></span>. This thing is function like a lung in human’s body. This thing can hold dust, dirt and any micro size things from entering the car trough the air system. For this factor it is absolutely important to buy or prepare the car with the best quality of filter. Among many companies that offer car accessories, one is well known that existed on internet called Carid com. The original models of this filter are separated with several cores that made from paper, foam or cotton. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The most common model of this filter is the rectangular or the one with ring shape. But still every car has their own specific filter that will be match.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we all know, contact lenses are the preferred means of vision correction.  They are far superior to glasses, in more ways than one.  Over the years contact lenses have established themselves, and are now used by more than a million people throughout the United States.  Although contact lenses are great to wear if you need vision corrections, there are some things you should know.</p>
<p>Before you put your contact lenses in your eyes, you should always inspect them for tears or defects.  Sometimes, contact lenses can get tears in their material, resulting in serious problems if you put them in your eyes.  You should also inspect your lens for debris or smudges as well, and clean them thoroughly if you find anything wrong.  If the lens is torn, you should immediately discard it and replace it with a fresh contact lens.</p>
<p>No matter type of contact lenses you use, you should always inspect them. Depending on how you handle them, you may sometimes scratch the material.  Scratches on the contact can be very serious, especially if you aren’t aware of it and put the contact in your eye.  It can cause you serious trouble, such as an infection or even scratch your cornea.  The easiest way to prevent this is to examine your contacts before you wear them.</p>
<p>Before you put your contacts in your eyes, simply let them rest on your index finger and look them over.  Once you have inspected that side, simply put the in the palm of your hand and give them a thorough inspection.  You should always do this one contact lens at a time, before you plan on wearing them.  If you wear contacts, you should always make inspecting them a part of your daily routine.</p>
<p>Along with inspecting your contact lenses you’ll need to keep them clean.  You can clean your contacts after you have inspected them, by putting a few drops of your solution in the palm of your hand and gently rubbing your contact around.  This will help to remove any dirt or debris that you find on the contact, and keep them clean.  If you don’t clean your contacts on a regular basis, you may end up getting an eye infection.</p>
<p>Contact lenses are a great investment for anyone who needs vision correction, although you’ll need to take care of them.  Whether you wear soft or hard contacts, you’ll need to clean them on a regular basis and examine them for defects, dirt, or tears.  Contacts can get torn or damaged rather easily, and the only way to tell is to examine them.  If you catch the defect before you put the contact in your eye - you should be able to replace it with a clean lens before it can do any damage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have dry eyes, contact lenses may be a nightmare.  With healthy eyes, a very thin layer of tears will always form under the contact lens.  When this layer starts to dry out however, the lens will begin to feel dry.  Dry eyes from contact can be very irritating, uncomfortable, and lead you to try to squinch or rub your eyes to seek relief.</p>
<p>Even though contact lenses are indeed a cause of dry others, there are other causes as well, one of which being your natural ability to produce years.  Some people will produce less tears than others, which can indeed be a problem when wearing contact lenses.  As you get older, the tears that you are able to produce will begin to decrease.</p>
<p>The environment is another cause.  If you work in a factory or area that is over heated, or exposed to dust or smoke, your eyes will start to dry out.  The more your eyes are exposed to these types of situations, the more dry they will become.  After a few hours, you may find yourself having to remove your contacts due to the dryness becoming so irritating.</p>
<p>There are however, some types of contact lenses that can contribute to dryness as well.  A majority of contact lenses are made of water and polymers, most being more than 50% water.  Even though the contact is moist and may feel comfortable in your eye, the water will start to evaporate from the contact lens as you wear it.  When this happens, the contact will draw moisture from the tears in your eyes, which results in dryness.  If the contact lens contains a lot of water, then it is almost guaranteed to lose moisture throughout the day.</p>
<p>With dryness being a common problem for most people who wear contact lenses, manufacturers are always working to create contacts that will remain comfortable throughout the day.  Dry eyes are the most common reason for irritation, and the main reason as to why people decide to give up contacts and just go with glasses to correct their vision.</p>
<p>Out of all the different contacts on the market, Acuvue Oasys are among the most popular.  Although they are relatively new, they are specifically made for those who work or live in dry environments.  These contacts contain a special agent for re-wetting purposes, which enables the contact lens to remain moist, even if your eyes aren’t producing enough tears.  They are daily wear contacts, and should be soaked in solution at night and replaced every two weeks or so.</p>
<p>Even though there are other contact lenses out there that are great for dry eyes, Acuvue are considered to be the best brand.  No matter which type of contact lens you wear, you should always take care of them.  You should always clean them once removed, and soak them in solution at night.  This way, you’ll remove the protein build up and ensure that you are putting clean contact lenses back into your eyes.</p>
<p>Even though dry eyes are very common, you can always help to rectify the situation by using right pair of contacts.  You can also get re-wetting or saline drops as well, to put in your eyes when they start to feel dry.  These drops are the preferred way of dealing with dry and irritable eyes, as they help to produce enough moisture for comfort.  You can buy re-wetting or saline drops at most department stores - and they cost a little of nothing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though you can get non prescription contacts, they aren’t meant to correct your vision.  Known as plano, the most common type of non prescription contact lenses are the opaque color contact lenses.  Even though they don’t require a prescription, those who want them need to consult with an optometrist first to ensure they get the right fit.</p>
<p>Locally or on the Internet, you can find many different varieties of non prescription contact lenses available.  You can find lenses that enhance the natural color of your eyes, lenses that enhance your look, and many others.  There are also Halloween contact lenses as well, which are great for Halloween or other times when you want to look different.</p>
<p>With non prescription contact lenses, you’ll have the choice of daily wear and disposable lenses.  If you are looking to change colors on a frequent basis, disposable lenses may be your best choice. The best thing about disposable lenses is the fact that you don’t need to clean them at all, simply wear them during the day then take them out and discard them at night.</p>
<p>If you are going to use the same color or the same pair of contacts for a while, you may want to go with daily wear lenses.  Daily wear contact lenses will last you a lot longer than the disposable lenses, although they will need to be disinfected and cleaned on a regular basis.  As long as you clean and disinfect them on a regular basis, they will last you for quite a while.</p>
<p>Without the supervision of a doctor, may doctors don’t advise the use of non prescription contact lenses.  Doctors will tell you that when they don’t monitor the fitting, usage of the contacts, and the overall effects, they may cause you serious problems and possibly even blindness.  While a lot of people use non prescription contacts, few of them experience serious problems.</p>
<p>When an individual buys non prescription contacts without going to see an optician, they tend to forget the fact that contacts aren’t for everyone.  The amount of tears, shape of the eye, and need for correction varies from person to person.  To get the right fit, you must consult an optician, as he will need to carefully examine you.</p>
<p>Even though they may work great for some, non prescription lenses aren’t for everyone.  Anytime you use them, you should be very carefully and take the necessary care for your lenses.  If you are a diabetic, you’ll need to be very carefully, for the simple fact that eye infections will take a long time to heal.  Even though you may not get an infection, there is always a small chance that it could happen.  Therefore, you should always be carefully anytime you use these types of contacts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ask any pregnant woman who is in her first or third trimester how they are feeling and the answer will almost always be &#8220;tired&#8221;.  One of the first clues that many women have that they may be expecting a visit from the stork is the fact that they find themselves droopy eyed in the middle of the day for no reason.</p>
<p>You may find that doing a simply task as walking around the block leaves your desperate for an afternoon nap. The energy you use to have is now faced with the challenge of growing a baby and your body is hard at work. You are also producing more blood, using more water and nutrients and have a higher heart rate and metabolism when you are pregnant. While the best defensive against the tiredness you will face is to get more sleep. There are also some healthy foods choices you can make that will help you get through your day if you do not have the opportunities to take naps.</p>
<p>First, adjust the size of your meals.  Anyone who eats a large meal is going to feel tired afterwards regardless of if they are pregnant or not.  Being pregnant is going to make the effect of a big meal that much worse.   Most of your energy is going to be used towards digesting the meal so of course you will feel sluggish and drained.  Eat smaller meals and eat more often.  Eating six small meals a day will help you combat fatigue.</p>
<p>Eating a good breakfast is the best way to start your day.  You are refueling your body after a long foodless night with a good breakfast.  A good breakfast is not a cup of coffee and a piece of toast. You want to stick to complex carbs and protein.  Whole grain cereal and a banana for example.  These foods will stay with you and keep your blood sugar and energy level up for quiet a while.</p>
<p>Do not skip lunch.  There are many people who skip lunch thinking they will make up for it by having a big dinner.  This is bad when you are not pregnant but it&#8217;s even worse when you are pregnant. You need that midday meal to help refuel your body.  As with your breakfast, you should keep it filled with whole grains and protein.  Have a whole grain pita and stuff it with chicken salad and add a side of grapes or an apple.</p>
<p>Plan to eat most of your calories during the day. A pregnant woman needs an extra 300 calories a day throughout their second and third trimester.  The first trimester those are not needed yet. You should eat these extra calories through out the day in the form of healthy snacks such as nuts, cheese, veggies and dip.  Do not save your biggest meal until the end of the day.  Your body needs these calories to help you get through your day.  Steer clear of the quick sugar fixes like candy and soda.  In the end these will only make you more tired.</p>
<p>Lastly, make sure you are getting enough iron. Eat iron fortified food such as spinach and lean red meat to keep your energy up.  There are times when extreme fatigue could be the symptom of an iron deficiency and you might need an iron supplement also.</p>
<p>Besides eating well, make sure you get plenty of rest even if this means pushing your bedtime up and giving up those late night TV talk shows.  As any parents of newborns will tell you, get your rest while you still can.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In your third trimester, your baby was old enough to start getting a taste of the foods his or her mommy likes.   Now that your baby is here and you&#8217;re breast feeding, your baby will get an even better taste of your favorite food.</p>
<p>Typically if you are nursing your baby you should produce anywhere from 23 to 27 ounces of milk a day. In order to do this, you need to increase your calorie intake by about 500 more a day.</p>
<p>You also have to increase your water consumption to at least 2 1/2 to 3 quarts of water a day.  You may notice that you are thirstier during nursing session.  This is because the water you drink goes right to milk production.    Try not to drink more than 3 quarts of water a day.  Anything more than 3 quarts can reduce the amount of milk your body produces.</p>
<p>As stated earlier, you need to up your calorie intake. Plan to take in about 2500 calories a day or more if you are planning to nurse for longer than three months. These extra calories should not come from junk food. Junk food and sweets are just empty calories and offer no nutritional value to you or your baby. Eat more protein.  A good rule of thumb is to eat 1 gram of protein each day for every pound you weigh. If you weigh 150, aim to eat 150grams of protein a day.</p>
<p>If you were not doing so during pregnancy, adopt the six meals a day program. Eat breakfast, a midday snack, lunch, a mid afternoon snack, dinner and a night time snack. Your body is going to be making milk continually so it is a good idea to keep it charged with calories through out the day.</p>
<p>There are some foods you might want to avoid during pregnancy. Pretty much everything passes through breast milk and to the baby. This is why the first thing pediatricians advise nursing moms to do when their baby has colic is to look at what they are eating. Chocolate has been blamed in many cases of colic and can cause an upset tummy for most babies.  f you have a baby with a tummy ache think back to see if you had a candy bar or even a cookie in the hours before you nursed. The best advice is to stay away from chocolate while you are nursing.</p>
<p>Stay away from greasy and spicy foods while you are breastfeeding. Greasy foods sometimes upset adults stomachs, imagine what it  would do to your baby&#8217;s immature stomach?  Wait until your baby is older and no longer nursing before you start making trips back to McDonalds.</p>
<p>You may also want to stay away from garlic and onions while you are breast feeding. Both of these can flavor the breast milk and you may find that your little one  will not nurse if you have eaten these. Your little one may be just a tad too young to appreciate the taste of garlic and onions anyway. Remember it takes a few hours for the food you eat to make its way into your breast milk. You may have eaten one of these foods right before you nurse and see your baby is fine but by either the following nursing session or the one after you might find your baby having a reaction then.</p>
<p>Your breast milk does not only taste like what you eat, but also what you drink. Just as with pregnancy, you should stay away from a lot of caffeine while breastfeeding. You might need some coffee or caffeine filled soda to keep you functioning and a cup or two will not hurt you or your baby, but too much could have disastrous effects. Just as we experience the jitters and shakes from too much caffeine, your baby does also. Keep your caffeine down to a minimum.</p>
<p>You have made an excellent choice breastfeeding your baby.  Keep it up by making good choices as to what you eat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the first things most of us women prepare to say goodbye to once we see those two pink lines on our pregnancy tests is caffeine. Many women will stop their caffeine habit cold turkey out of the sheer fear of doing some sort of damage to the new life growing inside of them. These women will swear off anything that has caffeine in it from coffee, and soda to even chocolate.  Then there are some of us who will still drink caffeine but cut back.  Instead of drinking five cups of coffee a day, we might cut back to at least one cup of coffee to get us through the day.</p>
<p>Our mothers and grandmothers will probably tell us that they drank the same amount of caffeine pregnant as they did when they were not pregnant and their children turned out fine.  However a lot more research has been done since their time and studies are showing that too much caffeine can cause some complications such as preterm labor and/or low birth weight.</p>
<p>So how much caffeine is too much caffeine? Doctors are telling their patients that a moderate amount of caffeine will not harm their babies.  Even though caffeine does cross the placenta, anything less than 300 milligrams a day (an 8 ounce cup of strong coffee) will not do any harm.  Anything over 300 milligrams puts your baby at risk and studies have also shown that women who drink more than 300 milligrams of caffeine a day during their first trimester have a slightly higher risk of a miscarriage.</p>
<p>Studies have also shown that women who had over 500 milligrams of caffeine a day had babies who had faster heart rates and faster breathing rates.  These babies also spent more time awake in their first few days of life rather than peacefully sleeping after their long journey.</p>
<p>There are a number of other reasons why we women might want to cut back on the amount of caffeine we drink during pregnancy.  For starters, it has no nutritional value.  If there is ever a time for us to be aware of our nutritional needs it is when we are pregnant.  Second, caffeine is a stimulant which will increase your heart rate and can cause insomnia and headaches which can put some stress on your growing little one.  Third,  caffeine can cause heartburn.  If you have been pregnant before you know that heartburn can be a burden to begin with,  and caffeine just makes it worse.  Lastly it is a diuretic which means it can cause you to lose fluids which can put you at a risk of becoming dehydrated.</p>
<p>While it is not necessary for you to give up all caffeine through out the duration of your pregnancy, you should learn how to drink it in moderation or don&#8217;t drink it at all.  If you can not handle having only one cup of coffee a day,  then you might be better off drinking no coffee at all.  Stick with caffeine free sodas and even decaf coffee.  Remember though that decaf  coffee still contains small traces of caffeine so make sure you take that into consideration.</p>
