Anti-Snoring Solution - Top Five Alternatives to Solve your Snoring Problem

I have tried a number of the best anti-snoring devices, including pillows, snoring mouthpieces, and chinstraps. I’ve personally tried most of the non-prescription devices which are  more or less reasonably priced and tried to list out main benefits and cons for each. When affected by such problem, it is not easy to identify what works best immediately. Often doctors don't know how to solve our snoring problem effectively.

The night guard anti snoring jaw supporter is a really interesting item which is one of the devices that helped me a lot. Based on Amazon reviews it's scoring four out of five stars which is not a bad considering that this product is value for money. The strap was very comfortable to wear and it helped fall a sleep faster. Coming down to the bad parts of what I have noticed is that the anti snoring jaw supporter is not adjustable. Long story short, if you have a larger head like I do, it can get pretty tight. But that's probably the only negative point that I have noticed so far. 

Another cool and very popular product is called SnoreCare Premium Nose Vents to easy breathing and snoring. SnoreCare Vents provide a warm, comfortable feeling and is virtually invisible to outsiders. Soft and enhanced Medical Grade Silicon is used to make SnoreCare Vents, making this solution the most comfortable device on the market. The product does help you breathe a lot better in general. I think that you would need to train yourself to get used to this product. So yes they do work but for me it was not a 100% fix according to my wife. The bottom line is that SnoreCare Premium worked a lot better then the breathe strips I used every night. Only negative was that some nights I found that they fell out of my nose. Tried different sizes, but still happened. Otherwise they worked great.

These Breathe Right strips were my very first anti snoring experiment. Based on my experience I must say that nasal strips are not bad but probably only a short to mid term solution. Imagine that you have to buy one pack each and every month, simply because each pack has only 30 stripes. Some of my favorite sport athletes on TV like to use Breath Right strips. I have been using these strips for years. For the most part they do keep the nasal passages open during the night. The downside to the product is that, with daily use, as already mentioned before it is rather expensive. I see no reason they need to be individually packaged.

Dr. Dakota snoring stop is the fastest anti snore device that enjoy's enormous popularity in the snoring world. If used correctly, this Product may help to lower the Volume of Loud Snoring simply by keeping the mouth closed, preventing it from gaping open involuntarily while sleeping. If you Snore Loud even with your Mouth Closed, this Product may not work for you and at this point, I would recommend seeing a Sleep Clinic for a Sleep Assessment. Throughout the process I've learned that there are different kinds of snoring and not all devices work well for everybody. I still can't sleep on my back with this, but it helps immeasurably when I sleep on my side.

Lastly, the snore eliminator device can really make a difference. The Eliminator Pro Mouth Guard has all the great functionality of the original Eliminator, with the critical added feature of being able to adjust the mouthpiece according to your personal requirement. I have used this for a couple months now and my wife says that it helps quite a bit with my snoring. It's ok when I put it in at night, but I somewhat frequently wake up with discomfort with my teeth and some point in the early morning and end up taking it out for the rest of the night.

Top 5 Mosquito Repellents to Keep Viruses at Bay

I am using mosquito repellents every spring and summer time. I have found that there is a huge difference between the products. Expensive does not necessarily mean effective. Sometime even too cheap can be tricky but often the price does not tell much about mosquito repellent effectiveness. Good repellents are important, especially when Zika mosquitoes are luring everywhere. The following products are all available on Amazon by the way.

Repel Lemon Eucalyptus Natural Insect Repellent

An absolute top is the Lemon Eucalyptus mosquito repellent. This pump spray contains oil of lemon eucalyptus and is effective for seven hours.

Sawyer Products Premium Insect Repellent

Sawyer was named one of the three most effective repellents. This pump spray will repel mosquitoes for a full eight hours. Effective against the Yellow Fever Mosquito, which can transmit the Zika Virus; 4-ounce lotion.

Sawyer Products SP649 Premium Permethrin

Effective against the Yellow Fever Mosquito, which can transmit the Zika Virus. Lasts up to 6 weeks (or 6 washings); will not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or outdoor gear.

3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent Lotion

Repel 100 Insect Repellent

The all time classic product by Repel. It's highly effective and lasts 10 hours. Repels mosquitoes that may transmit the Chikungunya, Zika, Dengue and West Nile viruses. The bottle is very popular among back packers enthusiasts.

Herewith the end of story that might help you to decide which mosquito repellent may be the most suitable to your needs.

Psoriasis - Eczema and what causes it

Many of us know how ichi and discomfort eczema may cause. Well, that does not mean that we have to surrender.


What Is Psoriasis?

Unpredictable and irritating, psoriasis is one of the most baffling and persistent of skin disorders. It's characterized by skin cells that multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. As underlying cells reach the skin's surface and die, their sheer volume causes raised, red plaques covered with white scales. Psoriasis typically occurs on the knees, elbows, and scalp, and it can also affect the torso, palms, and soles of the feet.

The symptoms of psoriasis vary depending on the type you have. Some common symptoms for plaque psoriasis -- the most common variety of the condition -- include:

laques of red skin, often covered with loose, silver-colored scales; these lesions may be itchy and painful, and they sometimes crack and bleed. In severe cases, the plaques of irritated skin will grow and merge into one another, covering large areas.

Disorders of the fingernails and toenails, including discoloration and pitting of the nails; the nails may also begin to crumble or detach from the nail bed.
Plaques of scales or crust on the scalp

Psoriasis can also be associated with psoriatic arthritis, which leads to pain and swelling in the joints. The National Psoriasis Foundation estimates that between 10% to 30% of people with psoriasis also have psoriatic arthritis.

Other forms of psoriasis include:

Pustular psoriasis , characterized by red and scaly skin on the palms of the hands and/or feet with tiny pustules.

Guttate psoriasis, which often starts in childhood or young adulthood, is characterized by small, red spots, mainly on the torso and limbs. Triggers may be respiratory infections, strep throat, tonsillitis, stress, injury to the skin, and use of anti-malarial and beta-blocker medications.

Inverse psoriasis, characterized by bright red, shiny lesions that appear in skin folds, such as the armpits, groin area, and under the breasts.

Erythrodermic psoriasis, characterized by periodic, fiery redness of the skin and shedding of scales in sheets; this form of psoriasis, triggered by withdrawal from a systemic psoriasis treatment, severe sunburn, infection, and certain medications, requires immediate medical treatment, because it can lead to severe illness.

People who suffer from psoriasis know that this uncomfortable and at times disfiguring skin disease can be difficult and frustrating to treat. The condition comes and goes in cycles of remissions and flare-ups over a lifetime. While there are medications and other therapies that can help to clear up the patches of red, scaly, thickened skin that are the hallmark of psoriasis, there is no cure.

What Causes Psoriasis?

A variety of factors -- ranging from emotional stress and trauma to streptococcal infection -- can cause an episode of psoriasis. Recent research indicates that some abnormality in the immune system is the key cause of psoriasis. As many as 80% of people having flare-ups report a recent emotional trauma, such as a new job or the death of a loved one. Most doctors believe such external stressors serve as triggers for an inherited defect in immune function.

Injured skin and certain drugs can aggravate psoriasis, including certain types of blood pressure medications (like beta-blockers), the anti-malarial medication hydroxychloroquine, and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.).

Psoriasis tends to run in families, but it may be skip generations; a grandfather and his grandson may be affected, but the child's mother never develops the disease. Although psoriasis may be stressful and embarrassing, most outbreaks are relatively harmless. With appropriate treatment, symptoms generally subside within a few months.
