It's The Company You Keep

Posted Sun, 07/11/2010 - 01:31 by Chuck

Is getting healthy merely a matter of hanging out with healthier people? It just might be in Colorado!

Recently my family and I took a trip to Denver, Colorado for a national fastpitch softball tournament. We spent an entire week there, and one thing that we noticed (other than the gorgeous scenery of the Rocky Mountains), was the large number of people outside jogging, riding bikes, walking pets, or participating in other types of exercise. I'm not kidding when I say it seemed quite weird to me. It had a very 'Stepford Wives' feel to it. The number of workout clubs was stunning as well.

My family and I live in Oklahoma, and we do have the occasional biker, jogger or walker, but they're few and far between. We also have a few exercise clubs, but to be honest, they're mostly empty.

Not coincidentally, according to americashealthrankings.org, Oklahoma ranked 49th out of 50th in 2009 for overall 'healthiness', and has been continually getting worse year after year. Colorado has been consistently around the number 8 mark for many years now. I'm very curious about why. It can't just be the mountains.

One of the local fans at one of our softball games had rode there on his bike, and I asked him why so many more people in Colorado seemed to be involved in physical activities for their health. He said simply that 'everybody is doing it, so you feel bad if you don't too'.

Is it that easy?

If you don't have 'healthy lifestyle friends' to hang out with, in hopes that their habits rub off on you, become a trend setter yourself! For most of us, our entire families need to become more active and switch to a much healthier diet. In many cases, it only takes one family member to decide to make a difference, and the whole family benefits as well. Perhaps a family bike ride a couple of times per week wouldn't be too much to ask.

Build a community of healthy lifestyle people around you, and it's much easier to stay with it.

Cara Menggugurkan kandungan dengan obat aborsi di apotik

by Obataborsi - 02/20/2018 - 12:58

Jual
obat aborsi obat penggugur kandungan
ampuh 100% manjur obat cytotec asli cara menggugurkan kandungan secara alami
dan tuntas tanpa efek samping dan tidak mempengaruhi kehamilan berikut nya,
cocok bagi wanita yang ingin melakukan aborsi dengan kehamilan yang tidak di
inginkan contoh nya korban pemerkosaan,tuntutan kerja,dll….smoga lekas selelai
permasalah anda dengan ada nya layanan kami.

Apakah
Legal Bagi Saya Untuk Menggunakan Layanan Ini?
Kebanyakan negara memberikan izin untuk mengimpor obat dalam jumlah yang
kecil, untuk penggunaan pribadi, dan tidak untuk tujuan komersial.

Perempuan yang tinggal di negara dimana hak-hak perempuan tidak
terpenuhi dan aborsi masih dibatasi, mereka dapat mengatakan bahwa mereka
mengalami keguguran jika mereka memerlukan bantuan medis. Tanda-tanda aborsi
medis sangat mirip dengan keguguran spontan dan sangat sulit untuk dideteksi
apakah perempuan mengkonsumsi obat tertentu.

Aborsi medis pada usia awal kehamilan sangatlah aman dan efektif. Resiko
aborsi medis sangat jauh lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan resiko kehamilan dan
persalinan. Jutaan perempuan di seluruh dunia telah merasakan keberhasilan
penggunaan mifepristone dan misoprostol untuk aborsi awal kehamilan. Bahkan
obat-obat ini tidak memiliki efek jangka panjang bagi kesehatan perempuan.

Aborsi
Medis Memiliki Resiko Yang Kecil
Komplikasi serius pasca aborsi medis sangat jarang terjadi dan jikalau
terjadi dapat ditangani oleh dokter dengan penanganan kasus keguguran alami.
Kemungkinan komplikasi yang sebenarnya sangat jarang terjadi adalah adanya
pendarahan hebat (0.2%) , infeksi (kurang dari 1%) dan berlanjutnya kehamilan
(0,3% sampai usia kehamilan 9 minggu). Komplikasi ini dapat ditangani oleh
dokter dengan penanganan kasus keguguran alami. Hal ini dikarenakan kasus
keguguran alami terjadi sebanyak 15-20% dari semua kasus kehamilan dimana semua
dokter memahami bagaimana menangani kasus keguguran alami – atau aborsi medis

Aborsi
Medis Memiliki Efektivitas Yang Tinggi
Kombinasi antara Mifepristone dan misoprostol memiliki efektivitas yang
tinggi, aman, dan berterima. Aborsi yang komplit (dimana artinya perempuan
tidak perlu perawatan tambahan) dapat terjadi dengan kemungkinan 98% jika
kehamilan masih di bawah usia 9 minggu.

Kira-kira 2-5% perempuan menggunakan kombinasi mifepristone dan
misoprostol membutuhkan perawatan medis tambahan untuk menuntaskan aborsi tidak
komplit, menghentikan kehamilan yang berlanjut, atau mengontrol pendarahan.

Penggunaan misoprostol saja untuk penghentian kehamilan awal dapat
membantu aborsi hingga komplit sampai 84%.
Aborsi medis yang dilakukan pada awal kehamilan jauh lebih efektif dan
aman.

Apakah
Aborsi Saya Berhasil?
Mayoritas perempuan dapat mendeteksi apakah aborsinya berhasil atau
tidak segera setelah menggunakan obat, karena tanda-tanda kehamilan hilang
dengan cepat dan/atau beberapa perempuan mungkin melihat embrio atau kantung
kehamilan. Bahkan jika perempuan merasa ia sudah tidak lagi hamil, penting
untuk memasatikan apakah aborsi berhasil. Perempuan dapat melakukan USG setelah
aborsi medis atau melakukan testpack 3-4 minggu setelah aborsi.

Kapan
Saya Dapat Berhubungan Seks Lagi?

Untuk pencegahan infeksi, perempuan disarankan untuk menghindari
memasukkan benda apapun ke dalam vagina selama kurang lebih satu minggu setelah
aborsi medis.

Jika anda ngin membeli obat aborsi (obat penggugur kandungan) di
wilayah anda masing2 agar pesanan bisa langsung di terima anda bisa mengakseh
