Anxiety medication causes weight ‘loss’?
Internet is one amazing thing. Anyone say anything on the internet and the whole world starts believing it religiously without even thinking about where it’s coming from. I have seen many ‘bloggers’ claiming that there are ‘some’ anxiety medications which cause weight losses. When I searched for ‘those’ medicines I found out that many are claiming ‘oxycodone’ an anxiety medication. Worse, they are publicizing this medication as an ‘anxiety medication which does double duty: relieves anxiety and melts those extra pounds’. I am the kind of person who doesn’t believe in what-that-blogger-say, so I stared digging deeper into the matter. I searched about oxycodone and tried to understand its mechanism on our body. Surprisingly, I found out that the drug is basically an opiate. Opiates are narcotics and are used to relive pain. Oxycodone comes with an additional characteristic – it helps reducing weight. The drug, however, has nothing to do with anxiety disorder. In fact, the drug may cause reverse effects as narcotics often increases the excitability of neurons. An increased excitability would worsen the anxiety disorder symptoms and use of narcotics like oxycodone may even prove fatal if taken by a patient with anxiety disorder.

Artificial Grass Turf Online
Grass turfs are manufactured by melting the materials at a high temperature, mixed with the dye that gives the green color and ultraviolet stabilizers to protect it from UV rays and finally it is stripped into thin grass like shapes. The core process is just like carpet manufacturing, where all the mixture is fed into a machine that extracts it out in the form of long strands which is then spun into ropes that are finally woven into yarns and spools. Just like carpets these turfs yarns are tufted, into a fabric and then attached with adhesive. To give it a soft feel, some manufacturers also provide a soft pad to give a cushioning affect. When all the process is done, the turfs are rolled and packed to companies for whole sale. The price is then determined by per square foot basis. To install grass turfs, the ground must be leveled and smoothed out. In case of an area where there is often rain fall, a drainage system must also be installed, since artificial turfs do not absorb water. Usually sand is raked within fibers, so that they are able to have a straight structure and do not look matted down. With the improving technology in grass turfs, it is surely taking over the natural grass, which at the same time is also rejecting the natural beauty of nature.

Health Article Vitamin D And The Sun
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin. It can be found food but the major source that produces Vitamin D is sunlight. The function of Vitamin D is to maintain blood levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body. It helps in the formation of strong bones. The diseases that weaken down the bones are prevented by vitamin D. There is a strong link between sun and the Vitamin D. Exposure to sunlight is a vital source of vitamin D. Ultraviolet rays coming out of the sun, synthesize vitamin D in the skin.

It is always recommended to everyone who goes on the beach for sunbath to protect themselves from harmful affects of sunlight. This can be done by applying a strong sunscreen. The sunscreen when applied on the skin, can block the UV rays and hence you don’t get tan and get a sunburn.
