SHARING IDEAS

What would you recommend to a friend who is feeling exceptionally tired and worn out? That’s easy. A day at the spa! Just like a day at the spa, indulging in massages and other pampering treatments can rejuvenate your body, a few hours of special treatment can rejuvenate your hair. In a day and age where pollution and chemicals play havoc with your hair, a spa treatment can help restore it to its natural beauty.

Apart from giving you a fantastically relaxing head massage and really helping you calm down, the benefits of a hair spa treatment are many

• The treatment begins with a special spa shampoo hair wash. This mild shampoo is massaged into your hair for best results and then washed off with luke warm water, leaving your hair clean and ready to be rejuvenated
• This is followed by the application of a hair masque or hot oil massage. The masque is massaged into your scalp to relieve the dryness that inevitably becomes the norm due to treatments like perming or straightening or even the use of shampoos and conditioners all the time. The masque is applied to cover every strand of the hair.
• And as your stylist works the masque into every strand, the resulting massage can be just as rejuvenating for your tired mind as it is for your damaged scalp and hair.
• After the masque has been thoroughly applied, the next step is steam. Five to ten minutes of steam therapy for your hair can help retrieve the lost moisture in the strands and roots of your hair, making it supple, smooth and soft.
• The masque is then washed off and your hair will be dried and, if you so desire, set.

The whole procedure takes about an hour and leaves your hair feeling supple and strong. The moisture and sheen that hair loses everyday because of treatments like straightening, rebonding, etc and the ravages of dust and pollution can be minimised by regular hair spa treatments. Be sure to ask your hairdresser about it next time!

TIP FOR SOMETHING

How To Maintain Weight

If you are wondering how to maintain weight, then there are a number of things you can do so that you don’t add weight again. The good thing about maintaining weight after weight loss is that it is easier to maintain weight than lose weight, and that if you have lost weight through successful dieting, you probably already have learned many essential weight management habits.

Write down those good habits that you learned, so that you can refer back to them over and over again. Those good habits that you will be recording are what worked specifically for you, your personality, your life style, and your likes and dislikes.

Here is a list of some other tips on how to maintain weight and keep that weight off for good.

Maintain the change of lifestyle.
Don’t revert back to your old habits that made you gain weight. Continue your healthy eating and exercise schedule.

Don’t eat lazily.
This means mindlessly eating sugary snacks to get bursts of energy especially when you are busy or under stress because they are easily available and cheap. If you know you will have a highly intensive day at work or at home, pack healthy snacks such as fruits, yogurt, nuts or any other healthy snack. They will provide you sustained energy without the feeling of sudden hunger.

Gradually increase the number of calories that you are consuming.
Gradually increase your calorie consumption and find out how many calories you can eat in order to not gain weight. Required calorie intake differs by person based on many factors including weight and activity level. Gradually increasing calorie intake will allow you to figure out just how many calories you can eat before you gain. Once you know how many calories you can eat and not gain weight, stick to it!

Don’t allow yourself to gain more than 4 pounds at a time.
It’s tempting to tell yourself that you can lose 4-5 pounds easily since you’ve done it before. Yes you can, but it will be a pain. Going on a diet takes commitment and dedication, and once you’ve gotten used to eating non-diet foods, it will be hard to go back. You can probably lose 2-3 pounds by going on a 1 week diet which is doable. However once you gain 4 or more pounds, it will probably require 2-3 weeks or more of consecutive dieting, which will feel painful and thus maybe not successful. So, avoid the need to go on a long-term diet again by making sure never to gain more than 4 pounds at a time.

Eat sweets, alcohol, and other bad foods in moderation.
Don’t forget that these foods will make you gain weight super fast. You can enjoy them now that you are happy with your weight, but in moderation. What would be ideal is to find healthy, savory alternatives to these bad foods and eliminate them from your diet.

Plan your meals and exercise times.
This is important so that you don’t fall back into the bad habit of snacking on junk food and/or not exercising. If you are busy during the week, you can plan a week’s meals in advance over the weekend down to the snacks you will eat. This makes it easier for you to stick to healthy eating as the meals are already planned and readily available. Set aside time to exercise as this is important in your quest to maintain your weight. If needed, you can try something new or change your routine every so often so that it does not get boring.

Don’t skip meals.
The biggest danger of skipping meals is that you may get really hungry and overeat in your next meal. If you’ve accidentally skipped a meal, bring or buy some low-calorie snacks that you can eat if you get hungry. When the next meal comes around, very carefully watch your calorie intake, since you will be in danger of overeating after a skipped meal.

It’s ok to cheat in moderation.
Again, if you crave sweets and unhealthy snacks, you can indulge yourself reasonably then get back to healthy eating. The important thing to remember, is to always eat these foods in moderation! Don’t get the regular fruit tart (about 500 calories); get the mini-tart (usually about 250 calories). Eat 2 pieces of cookies instead of 10. As for your regular meals, eat a wide variety of healthy foods so that you get the nutrients you need and you don’t get bored with healthy eating.

Some experts say that it takes a person only 30 days to form a new habit. If you continue your healthy lifestyle, it will start more and more to feel normal, and eventually eating junk food will make you feel sick, and not exercising will actually make you crave exercise. So stick to it!

DRUG

Effects on the central nervous system
There are three main types of drug affecting the central nervous system.

Depressants
Depressants are drugs that slow down the functions of the central nervous system. Depressant drugs do not necessarily make a person feel depressed. They include:

• Alcohol ("booze", "grog")
• Cannabis ("pot", "dope", "mull")
• Barbiturates, including Seconal, Tuinal and Amytal
• Benzodiazepines (tranquilisers), "benzos", "tranx" such as Rohypnol, Valium, Serepax, Mogadon, Normison and Eupynos
• GHB (Gamma-hydroxybutrate), or "fantasy"
• Opiates and opioids, including heroin ("H", "smack"), morphine, codeine, methadone and pethidine
• Some solvents and inhalants
• 
  

In small quantities, depressants can cause the user to feel more relaxed and less inhibited. In larger quantities they can cause unconsciousness, vomiting and even death. Depressants affect concentration and coordination. They slow down a person's ability to respond to unexpected situations.

Stimulants
Stimulants act on the central nervous system to speed up the messages to and from the brain. They can make the user feel more awake, alert or confident. Stimulants increase heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure. Other effects include reduced appetite, dilated pupils, talkativeness, agitation and sleep disturbance. Mild stimulants include:

• Ephedrine used in medicines for bronchitis, hay fever and asthma
• Caffeine in coffee, tea and cola drinks
• Nicotine in tobacco.

Stronger stimulants include:

• Amphetamines, including illegal amphetamines ("speed", "crystal meth", "ice", "shabu")
• Cocaine ("coke", "crack")
• Ecstasy ("E", "XTC", "eccy")
• Slimming tablets such as Duromine, Tenuate Dospan and Ponderax.

Large quantities of stimulants can "over-stimulate" the user, causing anxiety, panic, seizures, headaches, stomach cramps, aggression and paranoia. Prolonged use of strong stimulants can mask some of the effects of depressant drugs, such as alcohol, making it difficult for a person to judge their effects.

Hallucinogens
Hallucinogens affect perception. People who have taken them may believe they see or hear things that aren't really there, or what they see may be distorted in some way. The effects of hallucinogens vary a great deal, so it is impossible to predict how they will affect a particular person at a particular time.

Hallucinogens include:

• Datura
• Ketamine ("K", "Special K")
• LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide; "trips", "acid", "microdots")
• Magic mushrooms (psilocybin; "gold tops", "mushies")
• Mescaline (peyote cactus)
• PCP ('angel dust')
• Cannabis is an hallucinogen as well as a depressant. Ecstasy can also have hallucinogenic qualities.

Some effects of hallucinogens include dilation of pupils, loss of appetite, increased activity, talking or laughing, emotional and psychological euphoria and wellbeing, jaw clenching, sweating, panic, paranoia, loss of contact with reality, irrational or bizarre behaviour, stomach cramps and nausea.

How do drugs affect a person? 
The effects of a drug depend on the type of drug and a range of personal and environmental factors. Some factors to consider include:

• How much of the drug is taken and how often. Generally, the greater the quantity taken, the greater the effect. Overdose occurs when the amount taken exceeds the body's ability to cope with the drug.
• How the drug is taken. Generally, drugs that are injected or inhaled act very quickly and the effects are more intense. Snorting through the nose is the next fastest-acting method, while the effects of drugs eaten or swallowed take longer to occur.
• A person's physical characteristics, such as height, weight and gender also influence how a drug affects them.
• The proportion of body fat, rate of metabolism and, for women, stage of the menstrual cycle can all influence the intensity and duration of drug effects.
• The person's mood and environment also plays a role. How a person is feeling and the social setting can have a significant impact on drug effects. A person is more likely to enjoy the experience in a comfortable social atmosphere than in a threatening environment.
• Tolerance to the drug. The first time a person uses a drug, they have a very low tolerance and are likely to feel the effects very strongly. The more often the drug is taken, generally the less intense the effects will be. This means that larger amounts are needed to obtain the desired effect.
• Other drugs used (poly drug use). Combining drugs can increase or alter the effects, often in unpredictable ways.

What problems can drug use cause? 
Regardless of the drug used, there are many problems related to drug use, such as:

• Family or relationship problems
• Problems at work or school
• Accidents
• Legal problems
• Financial problems
• Health problems
• Sexual problems

Drugs and pregnancy 
Most psychoactive drugs can cross the placenta and affect the unborn child. Heavy and sustained use of some drugs during pregnancy may cause miscarriage, foetal distress or a range of other complications.

Drugs and driving 
Driving safety requires mental alertness, clear vision, physical coordination and the ability to react appropriately. Drug use can affect these driving abilities and increase the risk of having a crash. The risk of having an accident is nine times greater when alcohol and drugs are used together than when a driver is drug-free.

One of the most concerning measures of drug-related harm in the community is the death toll. Drug use is a factor in about one in five of all deaths in Australia. In 1998, 23,310 deaths were attributed to drug use:

• 19,020 associated with tobacco use
• 3270 related to alcohol use
• 1020 as a result of illicit drug use

Drug dependence
The greatest drug harms caused in our society come from the legal drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

Drug dependence can be physical or psychological, or both.There are degrees of dependency, from mild dependency to compulsive drug use (addiction). It is impossible to say how long a person must take a drug before they will become dependent.

Experimenting does not necessarily lead to regular or dependent drug use, and regular use does not necessarily lead to problems. However, there is no "safe" level of drug use. All drugs have the potential to cause harm, not just the illegal ones.
