Dog Friendly Rentals

The majority of people really love their pets, to the point where they become part of the family. Some pet owners cannot stand to be separated from their pets for more than a day or so and for these people, going on vacation can be a problem, because they do not want to leave their friends behind. Clearly the solution is to take your cat or dog with you. Dogs are easier to take away than cats, because they are more well-trained

If you are only going for a few days, say on business, finding a hotel near to the location of your meeting should not be too much of a problem, unless you want to stay at one of the big names in the city centre. It is often the smaller, family-run hotels or guest houses that consent to pets, although some want you to keep your dog in a kennel on the premises overnight. larger hotels tend not to be very pet-friendly.

Are Some Beauty ‘Tricks’ Bad for Health?

Natural Ways to Get Better Skin & Hair

You’ve probably heard of some of the ‘tricks’ beauty pageant queens pull before a performance – such as dabbing hemorrhoid ointment under their eyes to reduce puffiness, or using plastic wrap around their thighs to induce sweating to help shed excess water weight.

While it’s debatable whether these methods even work (let alone if they’re safe), women and men alike are often apt to trying potentially dangerous ways to feel better about their appearance. Some even go as far as to try off-label prescriptions to enhance their looks, such as the recent trend in using glaucoma medicine to attain thicker eyelashes. With potential side effects including inflamed red eyes and cornea damage, these are not quite symptoms to bat an eyelash at (no pun intended).

Go for the Garlic!

Garlic has long been known to offer protection against heart disease and some forms of cancer, but the question has been, how much? Research on the other side of the globe has now provided the answer: half a clove of raw garlic a day will do nicely.

Husband and wife team Rex and Christine Munday, at New Zealand's Ruakura Agricultural Research Center, studied the effects of various doses of diallyl disulphide, the chemical in garlic thought to have the most potent anti-cancer properties. The substance works by encouraging the digestive system to produce enzymes that purge it of cancer-causing chemicals.

I've had my eye on pineapple for a while (love this fruit!), and the folks at Dole reached out recently to remind me of an interesting health benefit of pineapple that you may not know about: pain relief. Pineapples are the only known source of bromelain, an enzyme boasting anti-inflammatory properties that may alleviate symptoms of pain--even mega arthritis pain, say some experts.

Do you like curry? Spicing up your dinner tonight with curry could be tasty and healthy, too, according to the latest research ...

Curry powder often contains a fair amount of turmeric, a prized yellow spice containing the good-for-you compound curcumin, which past research has given thumbs up too, especially for its role in cancer treatment and possible prevention. Now, researchers from Saint Louis University say that curry could help keep your liver healthy. The researchers note fatty liver disease, which they say is becoming increasingly common in America, so this is news for us all.

Of course, there's takeout curry (I get lazy, too!), but you really can lower the fat in your food by making a quick curry dish at home (and it's easier than you think). Here are some yummy ideas:

All You Need to Know About Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins affecting the anus and the rectum. This condition arises as a direct result of increased pressure in the affected part of the anal or rectal region.

Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins located in the lower part of the rectum and the anus that become swollen due to increased pressure within them. This condition develops from the straining at stools and during pregnancy because of the pressure of the enlarged uterus.

Internal hemorrhoids are located in the inside lining of the rectum and cannot be felt. Typically, this type of hemorrhoids is painless and the only symptom is the evidence of bleeding with a bowel movement. External hemorrhoids, on the other hand, are located underneath the skin that surrounds the anus and are felt when swollen, and they cause itching, bleeding or pain associated with a bowel movement.
