Improve Your Health - 5 Quick Tips

Health is not just about your fitness levels, or how quickly you can run 100 metres..

Improving your health really means changing negative habits and lifestyle choices, changing negative or 'can't do it' attitudes, and beginning to make good choices with regards to your health and fitness. If you are in a position where I have been previously, and are not happy with your current state of health, today is the day to make some changes!

To get started, here are 5 quick ways to begin improving your own health:

1. Get more sleep. Sounds simple, doesn't it? You might be interested in knowing if sleep is really that important. According to Harvard Health (www.health.harvard.edu), sleep helps your body in many areas - most notably:

* Learning and memory: In studies, people who'd slept after learning a task did better on tests later.

* Metabolism and weight: Chronic sleep deprivation may cause weight gain by affecting the way our bodies process and store carbohydrates, and by altering levels of hormones that affect our appetite.

* Safety: Lapses due to lack of sleep may cause falls and mistakes such as medical errors, air traffic mishaps, and road accidents.

* Mood: Sleep loss may result in irritability, impatience, inability to concentrate, and moodiness. Too little sleep can also leave you too tired to do the things you like to do.

* Cardiovascular health: Serious sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, increased stress hormone levels, and irregular heartbeat.

* Disease: Sleep deprivation alters immune function, including the activity of the body's killer cells. Keeping up with sleep may also help fight cancer.

2. Get some exercise. The benefits of exercise are well known - getting started and 'baby steps' is the key! Make a decision to start with some easy exercise, don't have unreasonable or unrealistic goals or expectations. You can start with a 10 minute walk for instance. Before you eat breakfast tomorrow, grab your ipod and walk while you listen to 4 songs... then turn around and walk back.

3. Change your diet. Begin with some basics here - for this week, commit yourself to cutting out some of the unhealthy snack foods from your diet. Sweets, lollies, chips, ice-cream, soft drink, donuts... leave them alone this week! If you are hungry between meals, eat a banana! Have some low fat yoghurt. Drink some water, munch on a carrot - you will find after a week of cutting bad snack foods out, it's easy to continue making healthier food choices.

4. Appreciate yourself. Take some pride in how you groom yourself, look and dress. Appreciate your uniqueness and self worth - the road to healthy lifestyle choices begins with liking yourself and looking after yourself.

5. Pray. Pray for the health and well being of your family and friends. Pray for yourself. Be specific - cast off your cares and concerns, ask for provision where you have needs. See here for more.

Making changes to your health and lifestyle begins with you deciding to change! Get started today on these 5 quick tips, and get yourself on the road to healthy living.

I have done extensive research on the subject through many sources and wanted to find out myself if this rumor is true or not. By most accounts I have read, the rumor of F-Zero Z is one big urban myth. It was considered a late April Fools' Day joke but evidently it went too far. Although the rumor has been debunked, it is not unlikely that the game will appear on Nintendo Wii sometime. Although may not under the title F-Zero Z, Nintendo will surely revitalize the series and give it the good old Wii touch.

Customizable Flash Games - Be A Monkey

Flash game designers are looking for new, innovative ways to draw attention to their creations these days. Free flash games are being played by millions of people online daily, but some designers are making their games customizable to put a new twist into an already popular internet arcade.

Many people got a chance to play the very popular elf game during Christmas 2006, created by Office Max, where a user could upload any face image, which would replace the elfs default face. The result was about a thirty-second elf song and dance that provided hours of fun and laughs. Some of these creations can still be viewed by searching for the terms elf yourself on Youtube.

Does anyone remember how bad we treated substitute teachers in school? Honestly, it seems pretty cruel to think of how students act when there is a sub in the classroom. Spitballs slapped the chalkboard, pencils stuck down from the acoustic ceiling tiles, and even disgusting sounds were made behind the teachers back. These are just a few of the classroom assault tactics that we are familiar with. I mean, think about it. Your boss or teacher is driving you nuts. In fact, they are annoying just about everyone. What better way to have some fun at their expense than by pasting their faces on a dancing elf? Now that we are armed with free weapons of ridicule on our PC that give us a harmless, yet hilarious platform for hours of endless fun, we can put down the erasers and let everyone in on the joke.

These types of flash games are fun for a small audience. But why stop there? We can now feature a bald Britney Spears, or a jailed Paris Hilton in our spoofs, for the entire world to see on sites such as Youtube. Why limit the viewing audience to a small handful? It is much more fun for millions of people to see our creations. Isnt having your productions seen by the world, the new wave of the internet?

What is yet to come in flash media? 3d flash games are just around the corner. Therell be nothing like being in the game. While sporting a nifty pair of 3d glasses and experiencing animation like never before, the PC gamer will get to see quite an improvement since the Jaws 3d movie debuted. Hopefully with the purchase of a PC Gamer magazine, well get to play shorts created by the likes of Halo and Starcraft animation teams. These companies, who are already leading the pack in the design of action console games, will give you a 3d glimpse of their games in flash format to reach out to new online customers.

What is already here? Current technology has recently been responsible for design of a powerful development library, which allows creation of Macromedia Flash and Java based flash games and applications with advanced motion detection capability. In simple terms, this means users can play 80s classic Breakout, using only their hands to bat the ball and hit the blocks. Other games let you play simply by waving your hand in front of a webcam, such as an Air Drums game.

Flash game designers are ready and willing to try anything that gamers desire. Companies like Animated Marketing, are asking flash gamers to send their ideas for consideration to be created into flash media animation and free games. Apparently no idea is too outlandish. They want to provide more of what people are looking for in flash games and media.

Whether you want to see your boss dancing around in a monkeys body, or play classic Breakout without a keyboard or mouse, flash programmers are giving online users hours of free, addictive fun.

Bryan Robinson, President of Animated Marketing, created the funny flash game, Be the Monkey, which is featured at http://www.bannergame.com.
