We live seven miles from a large Indian casino. Prior to moving close to the casino I would make a gambling trip about once a month with friends or relatives. Now that we live so close to the casino these same friends and relatives stop to visit on the way to the casino. They often invite me to come along to the casino for a few hours. Since I have been spending more time at the casino I realize that gambling addiction is a huge problem in our area.
When I would go less often I did not notice if the same people were there from time to time. Now that I go as often as I do I spend a lot of time walking around and watching people gamble. I am able to spot the people that have a gambling addiction. They usually are by themselves and are oblivious to what is going on around them. They are focused on the slot machine and nothing else seems to matter. I have seen people that will sit at the same slot machine for hours putting in more and more money because they are sure that the machine is going to start paying off. One late morning my sister picked me up to go to the casino to play the slots and to have lunch. We also had an appointment to get our nails done at the salon that is attached to the casino. When we walked in I noticed a man that I seem to see every time I go to the casino. He is one of the people that I think has a gambling addiction. He was sitting at a nickel slot machine. I noticed him because he was calling out to an attendant that he needed change. My sister and I played a few machines. Each time I walked by the one area I noticed the man playing the same machine. I decided to sit down by him. I asked him if he was winning when I sat down. He was so intent on pushing the buttons on the machine that he only grunted a response. I had a good spin and was able to cash out more than double my money. He just kept pushing the button and kept putting in twenty dollar bills.
When my sister and I were having our nails done I asked the manicurist how long she had worked at the salon. She said for two months, that she had worked in the casino prior to the salon opening. She talked about people having a gambling addiction and how some of the older women wear adult diapers so they do not have to leave their machines to go to the restroom. She said that there were many people that had lost everything due to their gambling addiction. When my sister and I left the man was still sitting and playing the same machine. It is sad to think that someone would lose their life savings over a slot machine.

Eat this. No don’t eat that. Don’t even touch that! It’s the kind of advice we keep getting daily. “If you eat excess fatty substances, you sure wont be able to poop”. From the media to even our friends and loved ones, all we get is advice on what to eat or what not to. How do you decide what is good for you? How do you know what food for constipation is best? Given the fact that there seems to be so many “proven experts” in the market telling us what to eat and what not to. Who cares anyways! What if you could eat anything you literally want to eat and be sure that if there is any form of constipation, you’ll eliminate it by nightfall. Would that be nice?
Well, there are quite a few people out there who can boast of providing a quick fix like that. However, if you’ve got constipation, you can eliminate it as fast as possible eating certain food for constipation. There are quite a few around:
1. Figs and Dates.
These are fruits high in fiber content. They take about twenty four hours before results can be seen. Because of its nature, figs enhance the process of digestion and are a rich source of fiber and minerals. This is not to mention the fact that they -figs and dates- produce serotonin.
2. Using Grapes
Eating one or two pounds of grapes in a day will greatly reduce the incidence of constipation. Grapes contain a high quantity of minerals and vitamins, high fiber content, and manganese. They are a great laxative and bring instant relief to the stomach.
3. Pawpaw
Pawpaw also known as Carica papaya is a well known fruit containing the enzyme papain. But not many know it for its qualities as a food for constipation. The high mineral content of the pawpaw reduces cell waste, gets rid of stomach mucus and colon mucus. To use them effectively, you can eat in between meals or add to smoothies.
4. Persimmon
Another important food for constipation, Persimmons have been reputed to be as highly nutritious as an apple and some claim it may yield better results for the heart. This is because of the high content of fiber and minerals like potassium, calcium, manganese, sodium, iron et.c These minerals including phenolic compounds are anti-oxidants and as a result, colon cleaners. For quick results, eat two to three of it daily.
5. Plums
These are fruits with high mineral content in addition to having a gentle laxative property. They are very effective in clearing gas from the bowels.
6. Prunes
These are plums that are dried. So the both of them can be used interchangeably. But prunes are generally more effective food for constipation than plums are. Because of the high iron content prunes are generally considered one of the best ways to relieve constipation.
7. Raspberry
The raspberry is a fruit rich in Vit A and C. It is also rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium. Eating them during the day in copious quantities will relieve your constipation fast.

For millions of people around the world, acne rears its’ ugly head often and with a vengeance. Teenagers are at the highest risk, with 70 percent of them affected with these unattractive and painful blemishes. Clear, glowing skin, free of acne is what we want.
Psychological trauma can also result from acne. Some people experience a loss of self esteem and general depression over the fact that their appearance is far from perfect. When you believe there is nothing that can be done, this only serves to promote low self esteem and increase your depression. Fortunately, there are several acne remedies available to get you back on track to a healthy, clear complexion.
The reason so many teens are afflicted with acne is, in part, because of fluctuating hormones, producing extra oils which are secreted through the pores of your skin. The fluctuating hormones are a normal condition at this age. Your most important weapon against acne outbreaks is your diet.
Teens often consume lots of soda, junk food, fried foods, pizzas and those great greasy burgers. This type of diet only overloads your system with still more oils, which may quickly appear on your face and even your body. This develops a classic good news, bad news situation. The food tastes great, but the excess oil soon shows up on your skin. Although you’ve heard it ad nauseum, try to steer away from these types of foods. Acne remedies they are not!
Instead, make it your habit to include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your regular diet. Go for unprocessed and unrefined foods when possible. Did you know that the single-slice type processed cheeses are mademostly with oil? Shocking when you think of it. Drink juices instead of soda. Whole grains, rice and lean meats and fish are other good choices. Avoid fried foods. If you can’t do it cold turkey, then make gradual changes. A healthy diet is among the best acne remedies available.
There are several herbs which are effective acne remedies. They are renowned blood cleansers which have been used for centuries to literally clean your blood and organs of toxins which accumulate and contribute to acne outbreaks, especially useful in the teenage years. These herbs include Burdock root, Echinacea root, Red clover blossoms and Dandelion root. All may be found at your local herb shop. Red clover blossoms make a sweet and delicious tea. The other herbs are quite bitter,so you’ll want to take them in capsule form. Alternating use of each herb is recommended. Take burdock root one week and Echinacea root the next, and so on.
Vitamin supplements are another addition to your acne remedies. A good, balanced multi-vitamin supplement supports your entire system’s general health. Vitamins A, C and E are particularly important to healthy skin.
Pay attention to your diet, get regular exercise and drink plenty of water. Try some of the herbs and supplements. You’ll soon see results!
