Acid Reflux

This is the movement of liquid and acid up the food canal also known as the esophagus. This occurs as a result of a faulty lower esophageal sphincter. At the lower end of the esophagus, there is an opening which allows food into the stomach. If this opening is not working properly, liquids and gas flow back into the mouth, a condition known as Acid Reflux. When this happens, an acidic taste may be experienced. Other symptoms of acid reflux are a burning sensation in the chest also known as heartburn, discomfort in the stomach, difficulty in swallowing, feeling nausea and vomiting.

Causes of acid reflux may be different depending on individual lifestyle. These may be pregnancy, overeating, eating acidic foods and lack of exercise.

In order to treat the problem of Acid Reflux, you must first identify the causes. Mostly, lifestyle changes are enough to treat the condition. Exercise helps strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter thus reducing the acid reflux. If the problem persists after identifying and correcting the cause, it is advisable to seek medical assistance. Over the counter medication without a doctor's prescription is also not advised. Acid Reflux in children and infants, might be a little hard to identify. The most common symptoms are belching a lot, lack of appetite, uncontrolled crying and lack of sleep. A doctor's consultation is the only proven way to rule out the problem. In most cases the problem disappears by the time the child is five years. The problem can be reduced by giving the child meals three to four hours before bedtime and using a wedge pillow at night.

Network Marketing As A Means Of Financial Empowerment

Being financially stable is a dream shared by many but yet to be achieved due to economic and social challenges. Network marketing is one option among many that the unemployed and those seeking to supplement their income can use to achieve their dreams. Network marketing uses the concept of moving products and services from the producing company directly to the consumer without involving middle agents like the wholesalers or retailers. The mode of marketing used is word of mouth from an Independent Representative to the consumer who may also become an Independent Representative by Registering with the company.

These Independent Representatives are compensated by way of paid commissions for their efforts which have enabled the company make a sale or add a new Independent Representative. The advantages that accrue for being an Independent Representative in a network Marketing Company include: - owning your own time as you are the one to decide which and how many hours of the day you want to commit doing the business.

Everything We Do As Youths Will Come Back To Us

Have you chosen to serve God in your youth? Well done for God has a reward for you not only in heaven but here on earth too. God will bless you and everything you do for you have decided to put his interests before yours. God will not watch as your enemies triumph over you. He will fight for you and make ways for you that no enemy will find. If you have chosen to ignore God in your life, it will come back to you sooner than later.

Lately, I have been able to compare the lives of two old men who lived very different lives. One of them had dedicated his entire life to God since he was a youth and the other one just gave his life to God when he was in his late seventies. All will go to heaven but one is a more fulfilled Christian than the other. This is because he chose God first rather than his personal gratification.

If we serve God diligently, we secure our entire future in him. He makes sure that we are well taken care of even in our twilight years. We do not have to beg and depend on others when we grow old. God will give us the strength and energy we need to take care of ourselves and even others. Our lives will be happy and more fulfilling knowing that we have made a difference for God. The time to start serving God is now, when you still have the strength.
