If you had an enema, a long labor without food, or a bowel movement during labor, you may go a day or two without defecating because there simply isn\’t anything in your intestines. And if you had a c-section, it can take three or four days for your bowels to start functioning normally again.
Never ignore the urge to pass stool,?even though it might be uncomfortable the first few times. The longer you wait, the harder your stool will get, which will only make your pain worse in the end.

How Important Is Water In A Diet
by admin on Feb.25, 2010, under Weight
With today\’s diet you will notice every diet recommends that you drink water. Almost two quarts to be exact and usually this is not enough. Because if you are obese you need to drink about eight ounces of water for every twenty five pounds that you are over your ideal weight. This amount of water does not matter whether you pop diet pills, supplements, shakes go on a low cal or low fat diet. No matter what the diet or supplement water should be a major part of the diet.
Most people no matter what there weight usually do not drink enough water. Most people feel that any liquid qualifies and this is not true. Diet pops have no sugar but they contain chemical sweeteners that contain fewer calories but start teaching the body to start to become addictive to the empty calories that it can provide. The chemicals will also start the body craving sugar until it becomes an automatic response when you have a diet pop.
There have been a couple of different studies that have suggested that by consuming diet soda, sport drinks,alcoholic beverages, juices, teas and coffee you set your body up for a food binge. When drinking these different but like drinks, the body waits for more calories to follow and be consumed. This is the sweet response that happens when you consume the different drinks. The body will react when it does not receive more calories after consuming these drinks by encouraging it to eat more to compensate for the calories it did not receive. Water changes all of this.
Water is something the body needs and responds to. Most people are dehydrated and do not know or understand this. Many headaches are a result from not enough water in the body. There are many indicators from headaches to a very dark color in your urine. The water provides many useful and necessary chores within the body. Water will help the body and especially the kidneys flush toxins that are a result from exercising and your diet. The more water you drink in a day the easier and more efficient your kidneys. Your metabolism will slow down without enough water and you want this working at peak efficiency.
The brain does not differentiate between hunger and thirst and many times those hunger pangs are in actuality a cry for more clear liquid, water. You will rarely drink to much water but most of us do not drink enough. Water in any diet is a natural appetite suppressant and why most supplements require you to drink a glass a water shortly before eating your meal. Most people that do this may attribute the lack of hunger or the loss of some weight to the supplement but in reality it comes from the water. Yes the people that market the supplement and write the information that is on the side of the boxes do know this. If you took a dietary supplement, these people understand that the success of their product depends on you drinking a full glass of water before taking their product.
Save the money and drink more water. Water will allow your body to cleanse itself from the burning of calories and help keep the toxins from doing damage to your body. Water will help your metabolism work efficiently and to its full capacity. By the drinking of the proper amounts of water your kidneys will work more efficiently and allow your liver to be free to increase it\’s fat burning abilities. When in doubt drink water as it has nothing harmful to your body in it. By drinking cold water you will increase the burning of calories as your body needs to warm the water so it can be used. This heating of the water needs to use energy to warm the water. So drink plenty of water and even when you think you have drank enough drink one more as water will do more to help you to lose weight than any other food you can eat or drink. So sit down and kick back and enjoy some cold and clear water.
The Ruby Mining Process
by admin on Feb.23, 2010, under Womens Interest
In today?s article, we will give you a short introduction on how rubies are mined and the process involved.
The main methods of mining rubies are placer, underground mining and hydraulic mining; the method depends on how deep into the earth the rubies are situated. There are other methods which we will also briefly touch upon.
Placer Method of Mining
The placer method is also known as river panning and involves collecting the gemstones whilst washing away gravel from a river. creek or stream; an obvious pre requisite of this is identifying the gravel which could possibly contain the rubies.
A large pan is filled with water and then it is shaken back and forth to ensure the heavy materials fall to the bottom of the pan; this is repeated until there is a small amount of concentrate left in the pan. Then this concentrate is moved to a smaller pan to see if there are any gems.
Hydraulic Mining
In hydraulic mining, very powerful jets of water are used to loosen the gems from the rocks. The water splits the rocks and washes large pieces downhill; this causes the gems to be separated. Due to its harmful effects on the natural environment, this type of mining is not used now.
Mountaintop Removal Mining
This method entails cleaning the mountaintop at the ground level by cutting down trees and shrubs. Dynamite is then used to blast the top of the mountain; the resulting large rocks are then scoured for the gemstones.
Underground Mining
This method of mining is used as an alternative to surface mining, which is often not possible. This is the most common way of finding gemstones, and involves miners digging underground until they find gemstones.
The main forms of underground mining are:
Borehole Mining
Holes are drilled very deep inside the land using very large bore drills. Then a plastic tube is passed through the hole, water is then pushed through this tube at very high speeds. This water breaks the rocks and forms muddy slurry, which is stored in tankers. The water is then separated from the slurry to leave gemstones.
Drift Mining
Drift mining is performed on the mountains and entails first identifying rocks which are below the side of the mountain. The opening s created are called tunnels, and the gemstones are derived from the materials that come through the tunnels down from the hills.
Shaft Mining
Vertical tunnels called shafts are created below the mountain when shaft mining is used. Miners move up and down one of the shafts and another shaft is used for bringing the material from below the ground. More tunnels are made for blasting the rocks and the gems are found from amongst the rocks.
Summary
In most of the mining methods we have discussed, rocks are broken down into small or medium chunks using explosives such as dynamite. These rocks are then processed to extract the gemstones. Once you have the raw gemstone, it can be cleaned, cut and polished to produce the finished article.

5 Things you Did Not Know About Drinking Water and Weight Loss
by admin on Feb.02, 2010, under Weight
We are all told to drink plenty of water – at least 8 glasses a day! But that is about where our knowledge ends.
We all know that are survival depends on drinking enough liquid, but many of us don\’t like drinking water, and don\’t drink enough of it. We would much rather have something with sugar or caffeine in it – both of which actually dehydrate rather than hydrate us. For instance – if you drink a cup of coffee, when you go to the bathroom, you will actually pass more liquid than you just consumed.
So, here are 5 good reasons why we should all drink more water and how it can help with weight loss:
1) Water suppresses the appetite.
Have you ever started to feel hungry and reached for a snack? Your body was asking for something and you presumed it must be food. But it may have just been thirst. Next time grab a glass of water and see if this helps, you may just be dehydrated.
Water will also help metabolise stored fats. Studies have shown that a decrease in water will cause fat deposits to increase. An increase in water can reduce this.
Your kidneys function at there best when given enough fluid. If they do not function properly they will dump some of their load onto the liver. One of the functions of the liver is to metabolise stored fat into energy for the body. But if the liver is having to do some of the kidneys work it is not working as it should, so metabolism of fat is slowed down and this can cause weight loss to stop.
2) An increase in water can help fluid retention.
When the body does not receive enough water it will perceive this as a threat to survival. So every drop of liquid that you provide, it will hang onto. Water is stored outside the cells and this will show up in swollen hands and feet. A water retention pill may help, but this only provides a short term solution. As this forces water out of the body, it will also take some nutrients with it. The body will still perceive this as a threat to survival and the next time you drink something, the body will store it.
The best way to combat this is to drink more water. The body will know that there is an endless supply so will stop hanging on to every drop. You may find that if you have a high sodium diet you will also suffer from water retention. Again, drink more water. This will help flush the sodium through your kidneys and keep things working properly.
3) Big versus small
An overweight person will need more water than a thin one. An overweight person has a bigger metabolic load. As we learned above, water can help metabolise fat. More water is needed to help the kidneys and liver to function optimally. On average for every 25lbs overweight, an extra glass of water is needed.
4) Muscle Tone
By preventing dehydration, water will help muscle tone by giving them the natural ability to contract. Water can also help against sagging skin in weight loss. Shrunken cells are buoyed by water and this will help the skin plump, and leave it clear and healthy.
5) Waste
When we lose weight we have a lot more metabolised fat to get rid of. Drinking more water will help flush this waste out of the body. Water can also help constipation as well. The body siphons what it needs from internal recourses, this includes the colon. If there is not enough liquid in the body, this can cause constipation. The cure? You\’ve guessed it – drink more water!
So how much water should we drink?
Saying 8 glasses is fair enough, but how big (or small) are the glasses? We should be consuming around 1.5 litres a day. This sounds a lot when you are not used to drinking that much, and yes to begin with it is difficult and you have to drink when you are not thirsty. But after a few days, you will pass the

How to Take 3 Inches Off Your Waist Line

What most people don\’t understand is that a bulk of the weight is actually just water retention. Your body is retaining more water than it really needs. Not only is that adding weight on the scale, but it\’s also adding the rolls around your waist!
If you want to quickly and easily take the first 3 inches off of your waist, here are three things to quickly start doing.
1. Stop Eating Salt
Salt naturally retains water. The next time you\’re about to have your meal and you feel like sprinkling extra salt on the food, don\’t.
Give-up salt and you\’ll start immediately seeing an impact on your water retention.
2. Stop Eating Sodium
This is the biggest reason to stop eating fast-food or eating out. Fast food has tons of sodium, which is really the same thing as salt.
In other words, fast food and restaurant food is obviously high on salt and sodium. Frozen foods can also have a lot of preservatives, which includes salt and sodium.
3. Drink More Water!
Ironically, the easiest way to get RID of water is to DRINK more! Your body will naturally feel like it does not need to retain more water and start releasing it.
You will definitely need to urinate much more often, but that\’s a good thing! You\’re getting rid of the excess water. Also, the clearer your urine is, the better it is.
Make sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
The above three tips will immediately help you start losing weight and directly losing inches off of your waist line. But if you want to continue losing your belly fat and working towards a flat six pack abs, there are many other nutritional and fitness exercises to start doing.
