Here are three ways you can slow down:

1 – Just eat: turn off the television, news, radio, and computer. Stop reading the newspaper or magazine. Spend time with your food. When was the last time you just enjoyed looking at your plate? Enjoying your food makes it taste better. It also helps you digest it better – when you are relaxed, your body is better able to break down your food and use the nutrients in it.

2 – Schedule “me” time: if this is a foreign concept for you, then you’ll need it more than anyone. Open your planner, Outlook or PDA, and find time in your schedule to do something for yourself. Spend time on whatever you want that you’ve been putting off. Then, make sure you don’t cancel your date with yourself. If it’s in your book, it counts as a real appointment – honor it.

3 – Breathe: Take a deep breath whenever you remember to do so. Most of us don’t breathe fully. But you need oxygen just like you need food or water. Oxygen helps you digest better and integrate nutrients more fully into your system. So practice taking deep breaths, inhaling as deeply as you can and exhaling as completely as possible. Whenever you remember to do so, pause and take a deep breath.

There are now approximately 30 million people who take this drug regularly and the number increases quickly. The pharmaceutical companies declared that they expect that 50% of the population of the United States employ this drug in the future. Thus which are the problems involved in the use of these drugs?

The side effect most largely reported seems to be the effect on muscles – pain, numbness and weakness. This in oneself seems to be a side effect of the real problem that the statins interfere the mitochondria’s, the body ‘the cells of energy production.

The weakening of the mitochondria function can also lead to the problems with hypertension and the diabetes thus people suffering from these evils are already a more inclined risk. One of the major problems is than the side effects of drugs often do not appear for a long time after the patient starts to take drug. Moreover, much of patients are old and they are dubious, if they suffer from the side effects, if they are due to drug or right with old age.
