Quit Cannabis – The Easy and Enjoyable Way

My name is Chris Sullivan. I am the founder of quitcannabis.net and author of The Joy of Quitting Cannabis. My motivation to quit marijuana, pot, weed or whatever you want to call it, was because I had gotten into a rut of smoking it all day, every day. Late at night or early morning, utterly convinced I enjoyed it, I would sit, roll and smoke joint after joint. As the years rolled on cannabis seemed more like self-prescribed medication to keep me calm than the fun, recreational drug I once considered it to be. Knocking on my dealer’s door became a symbol of need and at times desperation. I often looked like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards and I completely lost my self-confidence to communicate with even my closest friends. But the dread of existing without my treasured cannabis fix was enough to force me to abandon each and every attempt to quit.

Improved health is of course a guaranteed benefit of quitting but it was equally important to me to be able to enjoy myself socially and not be stalked by pangs of temptation after I quit. Despite feeling unhealthy, sluggish and a slave to cannabis it bothered me that quitting meant living a dull and dreary existence. I assume, like me, you DON’T want to be miserable and vulnerable to temptation after you quit either. Who would?

Back in those days I lived the classic comedy Cheech and Chong lifestyle. Nowadays of course there is nothing you or anyone else could say to persuade me to put a filthy horrible joint anywhere near my mouth! That’s because I eventually quit:

Without using willpower Without dwelling on the disadvantages Without substitute drugs Without the feeling I was making a sacrifice Without psychobabble or gimmicks

And so can you!

I will not lie to you – it is of course true what the pro-campaigners say. There is no annual recorded death rate. There is no such thing as a cannabis hangover or comedown period. There is obviously little chance of you waking up in a derelict drug-den with hypodermic needles littering the floor alongside ashen-faced drug addicts. But without getting all  ‘Reefer Madness’ about it, those facts are only half of the story.

Whether you are concerned about your mental or physical health, the financial cost, the drudgery of living your life stoned or because you want to distance yourself from your current lifestyle, your reasons to quit are as credible and worthy as any.

Quitting cannabis the right way is not only incredibly easy, it is incredibly beneficial and even enjoyable.

Term Life Insurance For Tobacco Users

There are several requirements you must meet when obtaining any kind of insurance. Taking out term life insurance is no exception. For the most part, insurance companies want to make sure you start out healthy before issuing you a policy. Premiums are based on your lifestyle and what your medical history is like. The cost of your premium is based on your age, gender and even occupation. Tobacco use has always been of concern when you are applying for term life insurance.

Tobacco use in any form already sets you apart from non-users. Some insurance companies do not distinguish between the form and frequency of your tobacco use. If you are a person who smokes an occasional cigar you are treated the same as a person who smokes two or three packs of cigarettes per day. Despite this unfair categorization, there are some companies that do make the distinction. The key is to find these select insurance companies that individualize their rates. These select companies base their premiums upon the type of tobacco and frequency of usage. They make a clear distinction between the use of cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, pipes, smokeless tobacco, nicotine gum, marijuana or a nicotine patch to quit your smoking habit. If you smoke marijuana, you must also disclose that you use drugs on your application form.

Lifestyle Discrimination?

While automatic higher premiums set for smokers are seemingly unfair and may even be viewed as lifestyle discrimination, it is also important to understand the perspective of insurance companies. Generally, smokers miss work more often than non-smokers due to respiratory problems. It is believed, although not clinically proven, that smoking lowers the immune system defenses, therefore causing smokers to be more susceptible to certain smoke related illnesses than non-smokers. Smoking has also always been believed to cause premature death. Ailments such as lung cancer, high blood pressure, heart attacks, emphysema, severe asthma, stroke, and other forms of cancer are all associated to nicotine use. Current studies have also found a connection between heavy tobacco use and Alzheimer’s disease. Certainly one can compare the consistent use of a known carcinogen to someone who is employed at a job considered to be “hazardous duty.” Both are subject to higher premiums due to higher risk for insurance companies to carry you.

Tobacco Use and Low Cost Term Life Insurance

If you are smoker who has tried to obtain term life insurance in the past, you have probably been disappointed by the high premiums quoted to you. In recent years some insurance companies have opted to offer low cost term life insurance for tobacco users. Smokers or nicotine users are now eligible for 10, 15, 20 or 30 year term periods at low rates. For example, as long as a smoker is in otherwise excellent health and is at a reasonable weight, he or she may obtain 0,000.00 worth of coverage for about per month over a 10 year period.

The best thing to do would be to research out companies and their policies for tobacco users. By shopping out the different insurance companies, you are sure to find one that does not penalize you excessively for tobacco use. Doing an internet search is the fastest way to obtain a quote online as many companies are now doing “Insta-quotes” that only take minutes. Tobacco users can now afford to protect their families at much more affordable rates and doing due diligence in shopping out your quotes will save you money in the long run.

A Workout for the Heart

Doing what you can now will reduce the chances of having a heart attack and increase your life which should be every ones goal.

Fuel for the Body:
The human body needs food to fuel us thru our busy days. Our bodies turn the food we eat into energy we need to keep our body functioning properly. Fried and fatty foods are bad for the body and gum up the works. These types of foods help build blockage in the arteries that deliver the vital supply of blood to and from the heart, and when one of them clogs you have a heart attack. Try switching your diet to broiled fish and chicken, with lots of steamed or raw vegetables. These foods are full of needed nutrients and will help keep your arteries clean and your heart strong.

Keeping the Body Strong:
It is not enough just to put good fuel in the body you must also take good care of the body. It is important to workout at least 3 to 4 hours a week. Working out means breaking a sweat and raising your pulse rate, the way to figure out what your working out heart rate should be is simple subtract your age from 220. This means a 35 year old should raise their heart rate to 185 for a workout to be most effective. If you find that you can not hold a normal conversation during your workout you are pushing too fast and should slow down, huffing and puffing means your body is not getting enough oxygen, as you work out more you will find yourself able to push harder and faster. Tog et a good workout you do not need to join an expensive gym. Gyms offer aerobics classes weight training and bikes and treadmills for cardio workouts, but you can get just the same workout with a workout DVD and a fast paced walk two or three times a week.

Screwing up the Works:
Smoking, drinking and getting high, does nothing good for the body. Medical scientists are studying what if any are the benefits of Marijuana, but one thing they have already agreed on is that smoking Marijuana is worse for you because of the smoke then any benefits that the drug may offer. Smoking puts a chemical into the body that makes blood clotting more common then in someone who does not smoke, add that to poor eating habits and you have an environment that is good for a heart attack. Then take into account that some drugs like cocaine make your heart race for long periods of time. This weakens and shortens the life span of your heart and after long term use can leave you stuck in bed hooked up to machines or stuck in a wheelchair. Drinking Alcohol may be the worst of them all it not only raises the chance of heart disease it hardens your arteries and kills your liver and even your kidneys.

If you want to live long enough to enjoy your golden years you have to start doing something about it now. Many people will say that 60 yeas ago people ate much worse then we do now, but my reply would be that those people also did more physical labor then we do today.

    Hydroponic Nutrients and plant growth factors- introduction

 Improper use of fertilizers is the common cause of many plant problems. Inadequate amounts cause weak and under nourished plants while an amount above desired quantities may burn and even kill the plant. Good judgment and decisions are required when a plant grows. Below are guidelines for applying nutrient solutions.

Hydroponic nutrient solutions are normally sold in concentrated forms. They are then added to the water supply with a specific ratio. Ideally, 150-600 parts per million consists a normal concentration of hydroponic solution. Normally sold in two or three parts because direct combination is not possible. Remember to mix nutrients into water first before combining, never combine two nutrients together.

How Much Hydroponic Nutrient Solution?

There are specific proportions for each plant type and phase of its growth. Advances in nutrient solutions have greatly improved the precision of concentration based on a plants growth stage. Hydroponic nutrient solutions are usually sold in “grow” or “growth” formulas for the vegetative phases and “bloom” or “flower” for the flowering phase of the growth cycle. Remember to switch to the bloom formula during the bloom stager to increase yields exponentially and max out your plants capacity.

In poor growing conditions weak nutrients are recommended. Low lighting, overheated gardens, crowding and root bound plants. Weak nutrients are also ideal for newly rooted cuttings and for transporting plants or when they are in the transition of growth cycles.

Normal, healthy plants can be used with regular strength solutions in ideal growing conditions. Increasing nutrient solutions could be utilized to enhance efficiency of your gardens. An ideal system such as high quality lights, proper aeration and ventilation when present is the only instance wherein you could increase the level of nutrient solutions to improve plant growth. Gradually increasing the nutrient solution is advised as not to burn the plant roots.

Various additives are also available for optimum plant growth. Maintain good grow logs or records of types of additives used, when applied and results. This enables you to measure its effectiveness in the future. If there are any negative effects with experimentation, flush or rinse your hydroponic system immediately.

How to measure Hydroponic Nutrient Solutions

Electronic conductivity of dissolved minerals in the water is the usual basis for determining nutrient solution. Parts per million (ppm) is the unit of measure. But this is just a general way of measuring conductivity in the solution and not the actual strength of individual minerals. This is the main reason why hydroponic nutrient solutions are sold as a mix of 3 parts. Once the desired mix is achieved it is very convenient to change the concentration to achieve proper conductivity.

Overuse of Hydroponic Fertilizers

Flushing out your growing medium is the first intervention once any signs of over fertilization are observed this is to prevent further damage to the plant. Clean water is used for flushing until signs of nutrient deficiency are observed in the plant. Normal feeding and schedule is then resumed. Some hydroponic systems require a top down flushing to completely clean out the plant.

pH Testing

Often referred to as the power of Hydrogen. It is the measure of Alkalinity or acidity of solutions based on hydrogen ion content. pH is measured from a scale of 0-14, acids are in the 0-7 bracket (0 the most acidic), and bases at the 7-14 range (14 the strongest). Introduction of nutrients affect the pH of the solution as they activate the hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Constant monitoring is required to ensure proper pH levels are maintained.

Ideal pH for Plant Growth

Different pH levels are recommended for each and every plant. Attention to research should be done to ascertain the proper pH level for your plant. Findings however have found out that a pH level of 5-7 is safe for most plants, 6-6.5 being the most ideal.

Be Careful When Handling Chemicals

Solutions having a pH of between 3 and 10 are usually safe for handling. Caution is advised for solutions outside this range as they would likely be strong acids or bases. Gloves and goggles are advised as a precautionary measure every time you work with any type of chemical.

Controlling pH Level

Checking pH levels should be second nature when nutrients are introduced to your solution. When solutions acid levels are observe to be always high, solutions should be changed more frequently. When nutrients are absorbed by the plant, this action makes the solution acidic and leads to nutrient “lock up.”  pH level are signs of nutrient deficiency, be sure to constantly check them. Check your water this may be the cause and not the nutrient solutions.

Various types of pH test kits are available in the market today. Some are fairly accurate with the more expensive one showing an increased degree of accuracy. Litmus paper and liquid pH tests kits used in swimming pools are an inexpensive way of measuring pH. This works for most of the plants, but plants with more sensitive pH reactions require more elaborate ph test kits. pH UP and pH DOWN chemicals are used to adjust pH levels in your solution.

Plant Growth Factors

Complete freedom from environmental factors gives indoor hydroponic gardening its ultimate advantage. All the elements needed for optimum plant growth are provided by the indoor hydroponic gardening system. Light, temperature, pH, CO2 and Oxygen are important factors that should be considered in planning your indoor hydroponic garden system.

Light and Photosynthesis

Essential sugars are created by plants through photosynthesis which is the process of converting carbon dioxide, water and nutrients into energy. Light is considered the most important factor because it provides energy for this chemical reaction. Studies show that an increase in light intensity directly increases the amount of sugar produced. This steadily goes up till the saturation point for light is reached by the plant. Increasing the level of light received by the plant should also be considered. Normally, a plant receives around 8-12 hours of sunlight in a day depending on the season. Plant exposure to this amount of light received in a day should be maintained in an indoor hydroponic garden system. Spacing is also important, be sure that they don’t block the light and ensure all plants received equal amount of light.

Plants not receiving enough light will have lasting negative effects on its growth even when corrected. Some characteristics are stems which are spindly and elongated leaving them ineffective in supporting plant growth. A decrease in the amount and size of the leaves is also one problem. More damaging effects of improper lighting are a decrease or absence of fruits, decreased overall quality and a change into a yellowish pigmentation for the plant.

Carbon Dioxide also plays a major role in Photosynthesis. Plants utilize the CO2 present in the atmosphere than anything else. CO2 systems are available which increase the levels of CO2 in your indoor hydroponic garden system

Good ventilation should also be considered as they maintain temperature and a steady fresh supply of CO2 and oxygen at all times. Complex setups require more complicated ventilation systems but an oscillating fan set on the same timer as the lights would ensure airflow.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Systems

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as described in the previous paragraphs is one of the most important elements needed for plant growth. CO2 is combined with nutrients, water and energy from light (grow lights/ sunlight) is utilized during photosynthesis producing essential sugars that provide energy for the plant. Any factor missing needed for photosynthesis will limit the plants growth potential. In order for a plant to grow to its utmost potential and for it to yield the best results all of the elements must be present. 

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Injectors

One of the most cost effective way of adding CO2 to an indoor hydroponic garden system is with the use of CO2 injectors. A valve, regulator and gauge are used to measure CO2 levels injected to the air. Sophisticated CO2 injectors are also used to control CO2 release. CO2 tanks are readily available from medical supply outlets and restaurant supply stores.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Generators

Investing in CO2 generators would also be wise for long time use in your indoor hydroponic garden systems for several crops. CO2 generators burn propane, natural gas or other carbon based fuels to produce carbon dioxide. More expensive than CO2 tanks, they provide a more convenient way of producing CO2. Long period and continuous use of CO2 generators has proven to be more efficient and economical than purchasing injectors and many tanks.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Monitors and Controllers

CO2 monitors with controllers automatically maintain indoor hydroponic garden systems CO2 levels. It is advised for large-scale gardeners or hobbyists and enthusiasts with that extra cash to invest. Often in the hundreds of dollars, they are quite expensive but are really effective if you can afford it. An electronic CO2 monitor together with a CO2 controller are used to maintain CO2 levels. Monitors could be sold separately and can be used with various types of controllers giving room for flexible indoor hydroponic garden designs.

Water

Water quantity requirements vary according to the type of indoor hydroponic garden system. Adequate levels of water should be maintained whatever type of indoor hydroponic garden system used. Water deficiency even if reversed and corrected cause permanent loss in production.

Not only the amount of water but also quality of water is important. Poor quality also causes serious problems for any indoor hydroponic garden system. The use of tap water can affect the nutrient balance in hydroponic solutions. Tap water naturally contains mineral and salts. Often referred to as “hard water,” tap water is offset by constant monitoring and adjusting nutrient solution. Salt content should always be kept below 325 ppm (parts per million) whenever possible.

Temperature

Temperature is a gauge for optimum production for every plant. When plants are exposed to extreme ranges of temperature, stunted growth and poor fruit yields are the result. Plants have specific temperature ranges for their ideal growth. Warm-season vegetables and most types of flowers have 18o C and 260 C as an ideal temperature range. Cooler season vegetables like lettuces have a 10o C to 18o C range.

Primary Hydroponic Nutrients

Nitrogen (N)

The most essential of all nutrients for leaf and stem development. Nitrogen consumption depends on a plants growth cycle and in a vegetative growth phase of plant nitrogen consumption is greatest. Hydroponic nutrient solutions labeled as “grow” or “flower” contains more concentrations of nitrogen. Nitrogen deficiency is the leading cause of plant growth in indoor hydroponic garden systems. Yellowish, soft and weak plants and leaves are tell-tale signs of nitrogen deficiency.

Half-strength nitrogen solutions are ideal for plants between growing phases. This will prevent plant stretch while it’s switching its energy over to flower development. Normal feeding is resumed once the plant reaches the flowering stage.

Phosphorous (P)

Phosphorous plays a major part in root and flower development. Phosphorous deficiency signs are slow and stunted plant growth. Phosphorous is crucial to a plants flowering stage. “Bloom” type formulas contain a 0-50-30 concentration, containing no nitrogen and high levels of phosphorous and potassium.

Potassium (K)

Different in action from the previous two nutrients, it doesn’t feed the plant directly in any specific stage of growth. It merely facilitates plant intake of other primary and secondary nutrients. Potassium deficiency cause irregular plant growth and susceptibility to pests and disease. Potassium inhibits fruit production and should be lessened during this stage.

Secondary Hydroponic Nutrients

Calcium (Ca)

Facilitating and filtering the absorption of other nutrients Calcium is one essential nutrient. It is also a natural base that increases the pH level is needed. Commonly used in the vegetative phase of plant growth, calcium consumption is decreased during the flowering stage.

Magnesium (Mg)

Mainly for chlorophyll production in photosynthesis, deficiency causes yellow leaves.

Sulfur (S)

Yellow leaves are a sign of sulfur deficiency and are only used in small amounts.

Iron (Fe)

Used in small amounts, iron deficiency is similar to sulfur deficiency. Yellow leaves are the general signs of deficiency. High pH causes iron absorption problems so constant monitoring is advised.

Molybdenum (Mb)

Mainly for nitrogen absorption and converts nitrates to ammonium

Boron (B)

Facilitates carbohydrate transport in the phloem, it is not essential and maybe disregarded. Boron overdose causes plant kill, it is not found in regular soils and only supplemented.

How to Quit Smoking Weed One Day at a Time

How to quit smoking weed is not a secret, it is not a little known mystical technique and it is not something you need to take medication for. Despite these things quitting weed can be very difficult for many smokers who find stopping their habit a near impossible task!

So if there is no secret what are the key elements of giving up pot?

Motivation Introspection Support Persistence

Not very glamorous or over the top is it but for many reasons it can be difficult for someone trapped in an addiction to cover all of these things as the psychological hold of pot is so strong that when the cravings hit your introspection gets skewed, your support network seems a long way away, all motivation drains from you and then you decide it is not worth the effort and you give up on the whole idea of quitting smoking marijuana.

This is where short term goal setting can help and going one day at a time can help build up some of those key elements that will get you free of weed.

To begin with start writing down daily goals, no need to get too elaborate and no need to plan too far ahead. Write down what you want to achieve for the next few days and KEEP THAT LIST ON YOU! As you do those things cross them off the list … it is cathartic when you get to an end of a day with everything done and without touching pot and you can scribble out all those tasks including “Stop smoking weed damnit!”.

It is like putting one foot in front of the other until you are confident enough to start looking a few yards in front of you. When a psychological addiction has its claws deep within your mind it can feel like learning to live and walk again but if can be done so never give up hope even if you do stumble along the way just keep planning, keep writing down and achieving even the smallest goals and rewarding yourself for those things. This is the key to the last on the list … persistence and that more than all the other will get you there in the end.

How to quit smoking weed can be done with these methods but without understanding your own addiction and taking ownership of it and its solutions the persistence you have will start to wane as the learning process and be long and painful. To know how exactly what you need to do to stay motivated and to gain the knowledge of self that all addicts need to truly be free of their problems you need a guide from someone who has been there before and knows your struggles.

Such a guide exists and contains a wealth of advice to end marijuana addiction that will give you the foundations you need to stop living life in a haze and to achieve your goals and dreams. Click below for a review of this amazing guide.

Emphysema: More Than Just Breathing Difficulties

Despite many efforts of health professionals to help smokers quit smoking, it continues to be one of the major causes of illness and death around the world. One serious ailment that can be developed because of smoking is emphysema. Emphysema is one of the most fatal respiratory diseases in the United States today.

Emphysema is a chronic respiratory disease that is characterized by the inflammation of the alveoli or air sacks in the lungs. Emphysema may reduce the elasticity of the lungs and may result in the collapse of the bronchioles. As this happens, air cannot leave the alveoli and the function of the lungs is severely hampered. The lungs may lose their ability to shrink during exhalation, reduced exhalation may also reduce the amount of air that is inhaled. Because of this condition, waste air is not easily removed from the lungs and oxygen-rich air is not restored. Individuals with emphysema may have a hard time breathing and oftentimes gasp for air. Emphysema is most common among individuals aged 50 and older and may occur with other respiratory disease like bronchitis.

Heavy cigarette smoking is the primary cause of emphysema, causing about 80-90 percent of all emphysema cases. Pipe, cigar, and marijuana smoking may also damage the lungs and cause emphysema. Some experts suggest that marijuana may cause much severe damage because it inhaled deeply inhaled by smokers. Another cause of this condition is a deficiency of enzymes called alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT). Lack of these enzymes may cause chronic uninhibited tissue breakdown that may lead to the manifestation of emphysema.

The symptoms of emphysema may develop gradually over many years. Many individuals with emphysema become aware of this condition when they have already lost over half of the functioning of their lung tissue. These symptoms may include the following:

shortness of breath
skipped breaths
sleeping difficulties
chronic fatigue
swelling of the feet, ankles, or legs
wheezing
excess mucus production

Despite the presence of modern technology and medical advancement, treatments for emphysema are not able to cure or reverse the damage to the lungs. These treatments are only designed to relieve the symptoms, slowdown the progression of the disease, and alleviate possible fatal complications that may develop. The first step in treating emphysema is for smokers to quit smoking to prevent further damage to the lungs.

Aside from acquiring emphysema certain conditions like cataract, macular degeneration, psoriasis, tooth loss, osteoporosis, and many more may be increased by smoking. However, it is never too late to quit smoking. Stopping the habit can make a difference in one’s cardiovascular and overall health. Individuals who are having a hard time cutting the habit may try using quit smoking products in the market. These products however cannot do all the work, the best and effective to quit smoking involves determination, discipline, and commitment to stop the habit permanently. Using these products can help smokers cut the habit by making them more comfortable and complacent to adjust to lives without cigarettes. Many quit smoking products are available over the counter, it is best to seek the approval of health professionals to clarify side effects and drug interactions that may be developed while under medication. With the right tools and attitude, quitting smoking and reducing the development of heart diseases can be easier than others think.

So if you’re among the estimated 20 – 30 percent of men who would like to get a least a little something off their chest, look no further. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life wearing layer upon layer of clothing on the beach or taping down your secret assets. There are ways to make your man boobs disappear, forever. Let’s just hope you don’t miss them when they’re gone…

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the medical term for the condition of having man boobs, or male breasts, which is characterized by either excess glandular tissue, fat or a combination of the two. The reasons for this phenomenon, which interestingly can occur in one or both breasts and can even cause milk secretion in newborn boys, are many. They include:
Puberty. Boys in the throes of puberty often have what they fear is a pert pair of man boobs, but what is actually just a normal aspect of male development. So if you’re still a teen don’t fret: 75 percent of teens with man boobs (boy boobs?) will have flat chests by the time they reach adulthood, and probably won’t find themselves furtively shopping for a bra at Wal-Mart in a few years.
Prescribed medications. Side effects of specific drugs, from anti-depressants to even some allergy pills, can sometimes cause male breasts to swell.
Hyperthyroidism, a thyroid condition when too much of certain hormones are produced.
Steroid abuse. Ever wondered why some bodybuilders have what is referred to as “bitch tits”?
Deficiency of testosterone, the male hormone.
Smoking too much marijuana (no, really!).
Gilbert’s Syndrome. This is a relatively harmless disorder of the liver and man boobs are just one symptom. You would need to undergo blood testing to determine if you have the condition.
Klinefelter Syndrome. Men with this condition have an extra XXY chromosome, instead of the usual XY. Its characteristics also include infertility, wispy facial hair, small testicles.
Aging. Our age plays a big role in how we look, including drooping and sagging of the skin, which is why about 30 percent of older men have man boobs. Hopefully, by the time you develop age-related male breasts you’ll be old enough – or mature enough – not to care. If Jack Nicholson can parade shirtless to the paparazzi, can’t you?
Genetics. Ever wondered why your relatives always said you resemble your Great Uncle “Betty” so much?
Kidney failure.

Saying Goodbye to Your Moobs Naturally

There are two medical classifications of man boobs. Breast tissue in men due mostly to obesity, or even being mildly overweight, is termed “pseudogynecomastia”, or male lipomastia. This type of gynecomastia can usually be resolved by reducing total body fat and/or doing exercises which target the chest area, aiming to improve the pectoral muscles.

Here are some tried-and-tested natural methods to get rid of man boobs that are a result of pseudogynecomastia:
Eat a diet that is low in sugar and fat.
Steer clear of certain of certain oily fish which contain high levels of estrogen, such as tuna and mackerel (some, people however, say this will have no effect).
Do cardio-aerobic exercises as well as weight-lifting, press-ups, bench lifts etc, which concentrates on the pectoral muscles.
Avoid any supplement containing artificial zinc.
Drink plenty of water, but only mineral water that is free of hormones.

Note: There are many herbal supplements on the market today that promise to target the fatty cells in the male breasts, or what often makes man boobs man boobs. The jury is out about whether they work or not, so buy at your own risk.

Saying Goodbye to Your Moobs Through Surgery

If your man boobs are still perky and proud after following a dedicated exercise plan and a healthy diet, you might want to try surgery. The most widely used surgical intervention for pseudogynecomastia, is liposuction.

This procedure is fairly straightforward. Your surgeon will make several small incisions in your breast and use a thin tube called a cannula to suck away the excess fat, which is removed through a suction-pump type device (if you think it sounds nasty, you’re right). Lipo can be done using either a local or general anesthesia, depending on what you and your surgeon together decide. Always use a board-certified surgeon with plenty of experience minimizing male breasts for best results.

However, if your excess breast tissue is composed primarily of glandular tissue, then you have what is called true gynecosmastia. This type of man boobs usually occurs due to excess hormones or genetics. Remember, however, that even true gynecomastia that starts at puberty will probably reverses itself within a few years, so if you’re 15 and sporting a pair of knockers that will comfortably fill a DD-cup, wait a few years before you panic.

If your male mammaries are the result of excess glandular tissue and are not going away on their own or through diet and exercise, excision may be your best choice. In this case, the surgeon must remove the glandular tissue by cutting it off, as opposed to through liposuction, because it is too dense and fibrous to be suctioned away as fatty tissue.

Excision is also preferable when there is a lot of excess skin to be removed, in addition to the glandular tissue (in order for the breasts to appear natural, it may be necessary to reposition the nipple, or reduce the areola). Occasionally, however, excision is done alongside liposuction as well. Be prepared for scars, although they usually fade in time.

Learning to Live with Man Boobs

While the vast majority of us are unhappy with something about the way we look, some people find that what they consider to be a physical defect starts to take over their lives, chipping away at their self-esteem and making them unhappy with their existence in general.

If you’re finding that turning into a Dolly Parton lookalike is hindering your love life or impeding your job prospects, it may be time to visit a surgeon. Think long and hard before making the step, as it may be worth making an appointment with a therapist first. Some men with man boobs learn to embrace and love them for what they are, as they make them, well, unique. And think of all the tips you could get if you land a job at Hooter’s!

Thanks for the mammaries…

3 NEED TO KNOW ESSENTIALS FOR HOW TO GROW WEED

To ensure that you have the foundations of knowledge that goes with growing mind-blowing weed you need to be aware of the three main species of marijuana. They are,

Sativa
Indica
Ruderalis

Each species has its own set of particular characteristics that separate it from the rest to create a unique identity. So let’s delve into these species and find out how each will determine the effects you feel as you professionally learn how to grow weed.

Sativa

Known for their peculiar sense of height and often sparse leaves, Sativas high is a particularly uplifting and energetic one. Sativas can be found from a tall and round bushy-like plant, to a leaner and narrow build as well. They can grow anywhere between four to fifteen feet with the trademark of the sativa type is the leaves which are structured long and thin which sets it apart from other species.

The plant itself requires 12-13 hours of light a day to stay vegetative and the flowering stage takes place when darkness equals at least 12 hours per day. Depending on the strain and conditions of the environment, this flowering cycle can continue from five to ten weeks. If you’re learning how to grow weed in soil, the optimum pH for the Sativa is 6.2-6.7. The most favourable nutrient solution in hydroponic growing is 5.2-5.9.

Growers of Sativa tend to be more of the hydroponic type as the pH range mentioned above is an invitation for a large number of bacteria and fungi to swarm in the soil.

Due to the uplifting nature of a Sativa high, it is quite the perfect choice for a daytime smoke.  They bring a feeling of optimism and well-being to the smoker and even have known to be a source of medicinal use for pain relief. The plant itself has proven to contain a considerable amount of THC (a chemical compound) and about sixty cannabinoids which are primarily responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis.

Indica

Originating from the hash producing regions of the world like Morocco, Afghanistan and Tibet, Indicas offer more heavier, sleepy type of high. Unlike the tall structure of the Sativa plant, Indica species of cannabis are of a shorter and wider stance that often produces more dense buds then any other species.

With broad and often a darker shade of green leaves the Indica plant will be matured around 6-8 weeks after flowering starts. The buds with be thick and dense, with flavours and scents covering pungent to sweet and fruity. The power from an Indica smoke will pervade throughout the body releasing a relaxed, laid-back, ‘stoned’ type of sensation. The reason for this is that Indica’s higher CBD (cannabinoil) than THC offers a much heavier, sleepy kind of high which is great for a night time smoke or relaxation.

This all-over body relaxation effect from the Indica provides medical use for patients suffering from certain health conditions. Research has concluded that cannabis has established positive uses for such conditions as easing nausea and vomiting, anorexia and weight loss, neurogenic pain and movement disorders. Even effects of treating inflammation, infection, depression and anxiety disorders have been reported which are all excellent reasons to learn how to grow weed.

Ruderalis

Cannabis Ruderalis is actually a subspecies of Cannabis Sativa which hails its name from the former Soviet Union to describe the vast variety of hemp that escaped cultivation. Other main cropping of Ruderalis is found most fervently in mid-west of North America and in isolated parts of the U.S and Canada.

The main difference between Ruderalis and our other two main species is that the Ruderalis contains little THC and CBD. It also is characterized by early flowering and is ideal for cultivating in much cooler climates and regions where conditions can often be harsh as the Ruderalis has an uncanny strength of resistance to environmental insects and disease. With the low potency of the Ruderalis, the main purpose the growers use this species is for cross-breeding plants, both in hemp and marijuana, that can stand harsh conditions.

www.genovation-creations.com – This is the new science of pot, part of a fresh wave of study and innovation among scientists and cannabis advocates all seeking to solve a central conundrum: In Colorado and other states, first came the approval of marijuana as medicine. Next comes the challenge of proving its effectiveness. The newest research leaves little doubt that marijuana — or at least its chemical components — has promise in alleviating symptoms of some ailments, while also making clear that the drug is not without its drawbacks, some potentially serious. What is less certain is whether Colorado’s medical-marijuana system of dispensaries and caregivers — where commitment to scientific rigor and compassionate patient care is largely voluntary — can maximize that treatment potential for the benefit of patients.
