The Truth About Whether Dental Implants Are Painful

There can be few people who will boast that they have never once been fearful of going to dentists. Even if their very first memory as a child visiting the dentist was hearing their drill make that high-pitched whirring noise as they started polishing their teeth, everyone has surely taken pause for thought, and no doubt felt somewhat fearful of what was about to follow.

Sadly, for some, they carry that fear of dental treatment all the way through into adulthood, and to this day, break into a cold sweat at the very mention of a check-up at their dentist. For some, it will still be the noise of the drill, but for others it is pain which they fear most, and that applies whether it is their dentist causing that pain, or any other medical professional for that matter.

Why Some Backlinking Tactics Can Harm Your Health Facility Website’s Rankings

Why Some Backlinking Tactics Can Harm Your Health Facility Website’s Rankings

The work of trying to rank websites, including those of health facilities, is something which many people regard as a game, where the objective is to outsmart Google in order to achieve better search engine rankings. What SEO agency professionals at seoperthexperts.com.au would advise you is that by all means look upon SEO as a game, but you must play within the rules.

The reason they say that is Google is fully aware of the sorts of tactics used to try to cheat and gain rankings falsely. Further, Google can detect these and as such the websites in question soon get pushed down the rankings, or in the worst cases, removed from the search engines listing altogether.

One area of SEO that is especially popular with ranking cheats is backlinks. When done correctly these can be a powerful weapon in your ranking armoury, but if you try any of the underhand methods of creating a backlink profile, you are putting your entire online presence at risk.

Can you lose weight with Apple Cider Vinegar?

Can you lose weight with Apple Cider Vinegar?

We all love the benefits apple cider vinegar (ACV) provides as a fantastic health tonic. However with loads of blogs and social media adverts about the miracle weight loss of ACV we wanted to know the facts! Is there proof that ACV can help to shift those kilos or is it too good to be true?

The most supportive research on backing the weight loss claims are studies on acetic acid which is the key component in all vinegars, not just ACV. A study in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry showed that mice on a high fat diet who consumed acetic acid had 10% less body fat than the mice just on a high fat diet.

A further study from the Central Research Institute in Japan conducted a trial where 3 groups of people of similar body weights drank either an ounce of ACV, half an ounce of ACV, or given no ACV for 12 weeks. (NB 1 ounce is approx. 2 tablespoons of liquid). The 2 groups who consumed the vinegar were found to have less belly fat, lower BMI (body mass index) and body weight and lower triglycerides in comparison with the group who had no ACV.

You Must Ensure Your Day Spa Does Not Make These Email Marketing Mistakes

You Must Ensure Your Day Spa Does Not Make These Email Marketing Mistakes

If you have been considering, or better still implementing, an online marketing campaign, it is highly likely that email marketing plays a role. If it does then digital marketing experts would caution that they see many companies make mistakes when they are email marketing, so we want to make sure you are aware of them, and thus avoid making them.

The first mistake that many businesses make with email marketing is that they think it is a green light to go ahead and simply blast sales message after sales message to their email subscribers. This is a huge error and akin to having a door-to-door salesperson knocking on your door every day asking if you want to buy their wares.

We imagine you would get fed up with that pretty quickly, and it is exactly how your email subscribers will feel if all your emails are blatant promotions. They will start resenting your emails and will either unsubscribe, or worse, they will unsubscribe after first marking your email as spam.

5 Health And Safety Considerations For Removalists

5 Health And Safety Considerations For Removalists

Whether they are working on behalf of a family moving house, or a business moving offices, removalists businesses must ensure that the health and safety of all concerned are a priority. When we say everyone, that includes not just the removalist’s employees but their clients too, plus any other individuals who might be in the immediate vicinity, such as other family members, the client’s employees, and to some extent, the general public.

This is not a matter that should be taken lightly. Apart from the moral obligation to have a duty of care, there are also the legal requirements that relate to removalists companies that come from state and federal health and safety legislation. Failure to follow and adhere to the applicable health and safety laws can lead to severe penalties, including imprisonment for the worse cases of negligence.

To ensure none of these penalties ever become a potential reality for you and your removalists business, here are 5 actions you can take.

#1: Have A Comprehensive Health And Safety Policy

The first element of compliance is to ensure your removalists business has a complete and comprehensive health and safety policy. This should explain in detail the responsibilities that both you as an employer, and your employees as individuals have to ensure that health and safety are maintained at all times. It should include the process for alerting the business to health and safety issues, what remedies are available to solve them, and penalties for those who flout your policy.

Frozen Dinners

Are Frozen Dinners Healthy?

When you come home from a long day, preparing a meal from scratch can be the last thing you feel like doing. You know you should be eating well, but a frozen meal that takes a few minutes in a microwave and leaves you with a full stomach can seem far more desirable.

You may feel a little guilty about choosing a microwave meal, given that we’re taught that “fresh is best,” but are they really all that bad?

What kind of microwave meal can make all the difference, as you can ffiind out below.

High Fat, High Salt

Most people think that the frozen meals you heat in the microwave are full of fat and salt. In many cases, that’s true. Manufacturers pile in the additives and seasoning to ensure their food tastes decent after being frozen then heated quickly.

It’s worth thinking about what else makes food high in fat and salt. It’s your food choices. If you purchase a microwave meal that contains fried chicken, a dessert treat, processed sauces, and dressings, you won’t class that as the definition of eating healthy. But you wouldn’t if you made that from scratch either. Frozen dinners can be healthy, but only if you choose the right ingredients.

Drug Addiction

How to Stay on the Wagon After a Drug Addiction

A drug rehab facility is a safe and supportive environment with like-minded people and a professional support network. Once you go through the withdrawal process and come out the other side, it can feel like you’re ready to tackle the world.

However, once you’re back in that world, you often realise there are triggers everywhere. Your old friends, old haunts, and past social situations can all lure you back into a drug addiction without you even realising it. However, you put so much effort into getting clean by going to drug rehab, so it’s essential to keep going. Here are some helpful tips for how to stay on the wagon once you leave the safe surroundings of a drug rehabilitation centre.

Create a Support System

It can be tempting to join the same social circle once you leave rehab, but the temptation to have a drink or get your drug of choice can be too much to handle. Once you’re out of rehab, it’s crucial to find a new support network of sober, supportive people who will help you on your road to recovery. Your drug rehab facility can also point you in the direction of support groups to assist you along the way.

Bad Breath

Why You Might Have Bad Breath

Bad breath, or halitosis as your dentist may call it doesn’t have one single cause. Instead, it can be one of several things. If you’re starting to notice that your breath doesn’t have a particularly pleasant odour, then it’s time to narrow down the options and find out why. These possibilities below may be worth investigating

Food

Think back to your diet and the foods you eat the most often. Do garlic and onion form a significant part of it? Any ingredients with strong odours will end up dancing around on your palate for some time, with mouthwash, brushing, and flossing, only masking it temporarily. You will have to wait until the food passes through your body until your bad breath stops being a problem. Alternatively, you can cut such food out of your diet.

Poor Oral Health Regime

When you go to the dentist, they know whether you have been flossing and brushing your teeth regularly. When you don’t, bacteria grows between your teeth, on your tongue, and in your gums. Food particles also stay in your mouth. This combination causes bad breath. If you’re a smoker, it’s bad for your oral health and your breath too. What’s more, bad breath can be a sign of early gum disease.

Straighten Your Hair

How to Straighten Your Hair Naturally

Straightening your hair is something that you either use electric straightening irons for or chemicals at the salon. However, with a movement toward less damaging natural hair care, more and more people are beginning to look for natural hair straightening methods that have less impact. Before you reach for any appliances or chemicals, why not straighten your hair naturally? Learn how to do it below.

Wet Brushing

If you wash your hair at night time, then you are bound to have plenty of time to try out natural hair care techniques. One of them is wet brushing. After you wash your hair, allow it to dry on its own as opposed to using a hairdryer. However, while it’s drying, brush it every five minutes, pulling it apart into sections so that it dries straight. While it may be faster and easier to use a wet-to-dry hair straightener, or with a hair dryer, it’s far better for your hair to try this more natural hair care regime.

Hair Rolling

This technique may be reminiscent of natural hair care methods from many years ago, but it’s clear to see it existed for a reason: it worked. Buy rollers that are around the same diameter as a beer or cola can, rolling your hair tightly up into them. Once they are entirely dry, with no moisture at all, let your hair out of them. If your hair is not entirely dry, then there will be a slight wave to your hair.
