The kind of plaque that forms in the arteries that feed the heart have been found to contain the same kind of bacteria that cause gum disease in the mouth. Now, if this isn’t an eye opener, I’m not sure what is. This research is not conclusive, I should add. But, it does point to the possible relationship between the two diseases.

Other studies have shown an elevated risk of heart disease in those who have gum disease. Therefore, while we can not say the correlation is exact, there seems to be enough evidence to show that the presence of diseased gum tissue may contribute to your chances of having a heart attack. Ok, I hope that got your attention.

Now, couple that information with the notion that a large part of the population suffers from gum disease. You can look up your own statistics on that, they vary quite a bit. But even the smallest numbered statistics are alarming. If you think about it, doesn’t it mean that mere brushing and flossing may not be enough to protect you against gum disease?

If you ask me, I would have to say it probably does indicate that. This is a frightening thought. Most of us have been trained from the formative years to brush and floss. But what if it really has never been enough as far as prevention goes?

I’m not suggesting you give up those activities - far from it! They are helpful in reducing the problems that we can face. I’m merely suggesting that they may not be enough. Instead, try oramd.

There is more to defeating periodontitis or even minor gingivitis. If that were not true then the Mayo Clinic would not tell us that 95 percent of people after age 65 have some form of gum disease. Still think you are safe?

Anger.One of most volatile emotions one feels. To some, it happens, but it is not an emotion that takes them over.It is maybe something that is a small irritation. It is something they can get under control.

For others, it can cause intense fury and rage.When that does happen, it quickly loses control and can turn destructive.  This leads to problems at work, in personal relationships, and in general their overall life.

A person who lets it get out of control is basically at the mercy of this emotion and its unpredictableness.

The goal of anger management counseling is to reduce the emotional feelings the physical arousal that anger causes.

With my experience in anger management San Diego I would like to explore a couple of ways to control this emotion.

First thing to try to do is relax.One relaxation technique is to breath deeply.You can uses calming images as well.  Another tool to use is to repeat slow calming words.

Don’t just use these methods for when you are angry.  Try to make it a practice everyday if you feel you have an anger issue.

Second you have to change the way you think.  Simply put, when you get angry you may swear, talk loudly, and express yourself very colorfully.These really are just your inner thoughts expressed.What you are going to have to do is change the angry irrational thoughts into more reasonable rational ones.

Instead of telling yourself how terrible or an injustice something is, try telling yourself it is not the end of the world.

Third, try to communicate better.  When a person gets angry or in a heated discussion, that is when communication breaks down.Rather than thinking before speaking, their emotions let them say whatever.

Slow down so you can think about how you are going to communicate your thoughts.

Finally, a change in your environment might help.  A lot of times when we are angry or frustrated, just stopping and going someplace else can change our moods completely.

Changing your environment might just be enough to make your emotions calm and control your anger.

Although not the final word, these bits of advice can help you start to control your anger.  If you find it does not, you will want to go get some professional help maybe with a family therapist San Diego.

Phone Insurance - Why Bother?

When you first buy your mobile phone (cell phone) you probably got pushed to buy the add-on insurance - or maybe you got given a few months free insurance together with the phone.

This free add-on is a clever and very profitable technique which phone dealers use to get you inadvertently into subscribing to the (cell phone) mobile phone insurance iteself. When you get the phone and the free phone insurance you are automatically set up to pay by Direct Debit for the insurance at the end of the free period.

But the question is this:

Do you have a need for mobile insurance?

To answer that you need to answer 2 specific questions - the answer to which varies from person to person.

1. Do you want to cover the cost of replacing your phone?
2. Are you worried about being without your phone for an extended period of time?

If your phone is Pay As You Go then you will be acutely aware of how much a decent phone costs because that is what you paid when you bought it.

In fact, pay as you go phones are not actually the real cost of the phones because mobile phone operators slightly subsidise the cost of the handset. This is because these phones are usually locked to only work on their network, so they make up for the loss on the cost of the phone calls.

But they are not discounted by much (relative to the discount given to Pay Monthly contract customers) because they can be unlocked to use on other networks. However, most people do not do this - so the network knows they will get that customer’s calling minutes and business.

If you are a Pay Monthly contract customer, chances are that you did not pay anywhere near the real cost of the phone - they get heavily discounted. You promised to pay your network bills for 12 months or more - and theh networks can then disocunt you a bit and give you a bit back - which encourages you to sign up in the first place.

Yes it was free on a new contract - but it wont be to replace.

You can buy a pay as you go phone if you have to replace your old lost, stolen or damaged one. So that is your replacement cost.

As a contract customer this wil be considerably more than you thought it would be. For example the Apple iPhone is around £300 or US$400 to replace. That will hurt your wallet if you have lost it, or damaged it or some idiot has stolen it - for that you wowuld most likely want specialist iPhone insurance.

So how are you going to pay for it?

That is what mobile phone insurance is for. But is it worth it?

Unfortunately there have been many insurance operators who have fleeced the customer and charged high prices for an insurance policy that just did not make economic sense. EG you may well end up regularly spending around £10 a month after the free period.

Now if your phone is top of the range and expensive to replace, this might make sense, but not if you have a basic ‘I just want to make and receive calls’ type mobile phone.

So the insurance needs to be tailored to what phone handset you have.

If you have a cheaper phone, then it will be cheaper to replace, therefore the phone insurance should be cheaper. A more expensive phone should have a more expensive mobile phone insurance policy.

So that is a key decider in who you choose to insure your phone; can they tailor or offer a policy for your specific phone handset?

While you are looking at the financial side of covering the cost of replacement, you also want to consider whether the phone insurance company insist on a long term contract; many do, some do not.

If you must sign a 12 month contract (standard with many) then the cost of the insurance is a straight forward calculation of 12 months multiplied by the monthly cost. If this amount is bigger than the cost of replacing the phone yourself (by purchasing a Pay As You Go handset) then the insurance is not worth buying.

If there is not a 12 month contract then you are free to do as you choose.

If you are a Pay Monthly contract customer then there is another consideration. Once you are not tied to the contract you can either upgrade to a new (replacement) handset or go to a new network.

So towards the end of your phone contract the mobile phone insurance has less and less value and worth to you as a customer because you are at less risk of having to pay out a big bill to replace the phone.

NOTE - You will be open to the whole replacement cost when you sign into a new phone contract. You would have to pay the full price to replace your mobile phone if it was lost, stolen or damaged, so you are more likely to want to have mobile phone insurance.

Often, people say they can get their phone insurance via their home and contents insurance - but if you make a claim for a (relatively small) phone cost, what is going to happen to your no-claims bonus and your home insurance premium cost next year?

So getting mobile phone insurance is about sensibly minimising the risk of having a big replacement bill, without spending hugely on the monthly insurance policy.

The best way to achieve this is to use an insurance provider who does not have a 12 month contract and who has the right price insurance policy for your phone (not a ‘one price fits all’ policy)
