When tooth enamel is lost or when gums recede, the inner layer of the tooth called dentine maybe exposed! Dentine is made of thousands of microscopic tubes that lead to the nerves deep inside the tooth. Cold, heat and sugar cause the fluid movement in the dentine which stimulates nerves and resulting in pain.
Dentine will exposed by the following factors :-
1. Gum diseases
2. Abnormal grinding of teeth
3. Brushing too hard near the gums
4. Acid erosion of protective enamel
How can to stop the pain?
Well, you could switch to Sensodyne or colgate toothpaste. If that doesn't work, try Crest sensitivity. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles. Your toothbrush should be changed regularly. Splayed bristles are less effective in removing dental plaque and debris from the teeth. They may even injure the gums. If that doesn't work then go to your dentist and see if you have gum recession and root exposure. There are treatments such as fluoride varnish, hema, duraphat, just to name a few.

Diabetes and Symptoms (Health and Lifestyle)
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a condition affecting the system whereby the pancreas stops producing insulin or produces too little or where the cells in your body are resistant to the insulin that pancreas produces.
What is insulin?
Insulin is the hormone which unlocks the cells in your body and allows sugar (glucose) in your blood to be used at once or to be stored away to be used later on.
Symptoms
1. Excessive tiredness
2. Recurrent infections
3. Dehydration and excessive thirst
4. Cut and wounds may be very slow to heal
5. Weight loss
6. A need to frequently go to the toilet
7. Itching in the genital area or frequent episodes of thrush.
There are two main types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Each type of diabetes has different causes so they are treated differently. As the causes are closely related the symptoms are very similar.
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the insulin producing cells in the pancreas are damaged. Thus the pancreas eventually stops producing any insulin yet. Basically, it affects young people, although it can occur at any age and can develop very quickly over a short space of time. It is controlled with insulin injections. The amount of insulin you need is balanced against levels of sugar in your blood.
Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the cells in your body are resistant to the affects of insulin and your pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin. It develops slowly and gradually over a long period of time, so the symptoms may not be noticed and the condition often goes undiagnosed. This type usually found in middle aged or elderly people, but it is increasingly being diagnosed in early adulthood and sometimes in childhood. It generally runs in families and is particularly prevalent in certain ethnic groups. It can sometimes be treated with diet and exercise. If that is not enough to control it, you will be given tablets or you may need to move on to insulin injections.

Perbandingan petrol RON95 dan RON97 (Comparison between RON 95 and RON97)
RON95 or RON97
Baru-baru ini kerajaan telah mengumumkan petrol RON95 akan dijual mulai 1 September 2009 bagi menggantikan petrol RON92 yang ditamatkan penggunaan kerana penggunaan petrol RON92 hanya melibatkan lima peratus jualan di negara ini. Harga petrol RON95 telah ditetapkan pada harga RM 1.80 seliter manakala petrol RON97 yang dijadikan produk premium telah dinaikkan harga kepada RM 2.05 berbanding RM 1.80 sebelum ini.
Antara alasan petrol RON95 diperkenalkan adalah selaras dengan spesifikasi EURO2M di mana ia boleh mengurangkan pencemaran dan pengguna akan memperoleh produk berkualiti pada harga yang disubsidi. Namun begitu, sejauh mana keberkesanan dan kecekapan serta kualiti petrol RON95 ia bergantung kepada pengguna kenderaan.
Ruangan ini memberi peluang kepada anda untuk menyatakan pendapat serta komen bagi membincangkan isu di atas. Adakah harga yang ditetapkan sesuai dengan kecekapan petrol tersebut.
Apakah RON?
RON ialah akronim bagi ‘Research Octane Number’ atau nombor oktana penyelidikan. Ia merupakan ukuran bagi sifat pembakaran petrol. Nombor 95 dan 97 mewakili nilai RON yang minimum bagi sesuatu petrol agar ‘ketukan enjin’ dapat dicegah. Ketukan enjin berlaku apabila petrol terbakar secara pra matang sebelum dinyalakan oleh palam pencucuh. Ini mengakibatkan ketukan yang akan menyebabkan sesuatu enjin kehilangan kuasa. Dengan menggunakan petrol yang mempunyai nilai RON minimum yang bersesuaian dengan keperluan kenderaan anda, sepertimana yang telah disyorkan oleh pengeluar enjin kenderaan anda, anda memastikan pembakaran berlaku tepat pada masanya lantas mengelakkan berlakunya fenomena ketukan enjin.
Manual kenderaan anda seharusnya menyatakan nilai RON minimum petrol yang perlu digunakan. Ada kalanya, maklumat ini turut dicatatkan pada atau di sekeliling penutup tangki petrol anda. Sekiranya anda tidak pasti, rujuklah dengan pengedar rasmi atau pengeluar enjin kenderaan anda, ataupun dengan merujuk kepada mekanik bertauliah.

Did You Know What RON Is?
"RON stands for Research Octane Number. Octane number or octane rating refers to the gasoline ability to withstand auto ignition (knocking) inside the engine. Higher octane number refers to higher ability of the oil to fight auto ignition. Simply say, it means that RON95 is harder to ignite compared to RON92 or RON97 is harder to burn compared to RON95.
Higher octane number oil is mostly designed for top performance cars such as sport cars and racing cars. This is to avoid premature burning of oil inside the engine."
A lot of people said that RON92 petrol is the older oil and it is only suitable for older cars only. And, there are also some said that RON92 petrol would make the engine dirty. As comparison, RON92 petrol is less powerful than RON95 and RON97. What do you opinion?

What Are the Symptoms of Swine Flu, H1N1? (Health and Lifestyle)
H1N1 SYMPTOMS
By Nick Mutt
By Nick Mutt
Swine flu (also known as swine influenza) is referred to as H1N1 virus of A type. This is the recent strain of flu which has affected people all around the world. This virus is a combined effect of bird flu, swine flu and human flu. This new strain is highly infectious and has become the most talked and seen news on television. It is a pandemic disease and people are really scared of it. H1N1 virus spreads out to other countries by way of people travelling from one country to another.
For the first time, humans have been exposed to this form of influenza and hence there is no specific medicine for this. This is the reason that has made the 2009 swine flu so dangerous. At present, there are no preventative drugs which can be taken so as to prevent it. Hence, children, elderly people and people who have a weak immune system should be cautious so that they do not get attacked by the flu. Swine flu was initially originated in Mexico and later the virus has spread all around the world. Cases of swine flu are starting to get visible in US. It has now been specifically renamed as H1N1 influenza or flu to avoid people thinking as it has some connection to pigs.
People with 65 years and older, children younger than five years old, pregnant women, and people with weak immune system are at higher risk of getting affected with swine flu virus. The symptoms of swine flu are similar to normal seasonal flu, so to make difference between them is a tough task.
The common symptoms are high fever and chills in the beginning, severe fatigue and body aches. Other symptoms like cough, cold, sore throat, difficulty in breathing, headache, weakness and general discomfort are also present. Some people experience diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
You are contagious if you have the above symptoms. So you should stay home unless you are going to hospital for treatment. It is important that you consult your physician for the swine flu tests if you notice any of these symptoms. If it is diagnosed in early stage, there is a good chance of making a quick recovery.
To prevent from getting in contact with the virus, cover your nose from a mask. If you have symptoms of cold or flu, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough and sneeze to prevent other people from getting infected. Wash your hands often with antibacterial soap. Avoid touching your nose, eyes or mouth since viruses spread that way fast. Avoid going to school, office or anywhere outside.
To learn more about H1N1 flu symptoms, prevention and treatment, you need to know complete information on H1N1 flu. Be sure to pick up the book on swine flu to keep yourself and your family away from this pandemic disease.

PROTECTION FROM SWINE FLU (Health and Lifestyle)
H1N1 SYMPTOMS
Swine flu is possibly the biggest topic in the news today! Currently, it has been confirmed in Mexico, the United States, as well as around 70 other countries in Europe and other places. Even as I write this article, the first case has been discovered in South Africa! As of early June, the A(H1N1) flu strain (Swine Flu), has been declared a pandemic which is the first pandemic in 41 years! So far, this has amounted to over 140 deaths. The question is, how can you get protection?
Luckily, there are many ways to protect yourself. Recently, there has been a vaccination discovered, and medical officials are working to distribute it as much as possible. But while that can help a great deal, the best way would be just to stay as healthy as possible. Staying healthy is not that hard to do. For the most part, washing your hands every time they come in contact with something potentially harmful to your body will keep you pretty healthy. Your hands touch everything, and so does everyone. Almost everything you touch in a public place has been touched by thousands of people. If you don't wash your hands before you eat, you are taking these things in to your body.
The A(H1N1) Flu is a highly contagious disease that just keeps spreading. We all need to keep ourselves healthy and get protection from swine flu so that we don't expose those who could die from this disease. By following very simple steps, you can get the best protection there is, and you will never have to worry about having the Swine Flu or carrying it on to someone else again!
If you click on the link below, you'll be directed to my lens, where I will tell you all about a survival guide written by a former sailor who has been trained to avoid the swine flu, and a close to home book, written by a mother of three. Both books are full of essential information to keep you and your loved ones safe.

How to Prevent Swine Flu - Special Tips to Boost Your Immune System Now
H1N1 SYMPTOMS
By Celine Yong
To prevent swine flu, many people think that wearing face masks and popping vitamin supplements will boost their immunity against the disease. However, many experts believe that we need to do more to keep swine flu at bay.
Wearing a face mask only stops an infected person from coughing and sneezing on other people. It does not stop germs from invading our bodies. Taking vitamin supplements will not help if we do not adopt a healthy lifestyle.
We are especially vulnerable to swine flu at the moment as the vaccine is not yet available. The best way to cope with swine flu is to boost our immune system.
Experts recommend the following tips to boost our immune system:
1) Going On A Healthy Diet
Experts recommend eating a balanced diet, with at least five to seven servings of fresh fruit and vegetables. Your daily diet should also include good protein and essential fatty acids. Salmon and eggs are excellent choices.
2) Exercise Thirty Minutes Daily, Five Times A Week
Experts have found out that during moderate exercise, immune cells circulate through the body more quickly and are able to locate and kill bacteria and viruses more promptly. After exercise ends, the immune system returns to normal after a few hours. But when you exercise regularly, the positive immune response your body exhibits appears more long-lasting.
3) Take Adequate Vitamin A and Vitamin C
Vitamin A is required to maintain tissues lining our lungs and digestive system. Sweet potatoes and carrots are excellent sources of Vitamin A. Vitamin C is an antioxidant which prevents inflammation of our tissue lining. Oranges and grapefruit are high in Vitamin C.
4) Get Sufficient Sleep
Our bodies have a chance to rejuvenate and undergo cell renewal when we sleep. This ensures that our immunity system is functioning at an optimum level at all times. We should also sleep in well-ventilated rooms.
5) Quit Smoking
Smoking compromises the respiratory system, making it more susceptible to attacks by flu viruses and other bacteria. Incidentally, by maintaining a healthy diet, a smoker is likely to cut down on cigarettes as a healthy diet spoils his or her taste for cigarettes. It will make quitting smoking easier.
6) Cleanse Your Blood
Cleanse and support the blood with garlic, tomato, spinach and nettle tea. Improve blood circulation with frequent dry skin brushing. This helps to reduce cellulite in women too.

Swine Flu (H1N1) Symptoms and How it Spreads
Swine Flu (H1N1) Symptoms and How it Spreads
By Nick Hampshire
Swine flu symptoms are similar to symptoms of other flu viruses. These include fever, cough, headaches, chills, body aches, a sore throat and fatigue. Vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported with this virus. It is important to remember that other conditions can cause these same symptoms. To determine for sure if you have swine flu versus another strain of flu or other condition, you will need to go to your doctor for a lab test. It is important to remember that flu is not a rare illness. According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control, 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population suffers from a case of the flu each year.
Flu is similar to a cold virus in that it is typically spread from one person to another when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can pass through an infected person's lungs, throat or nose, sending particles into the air that can pass to anyone that person comes in close contact with. Being out in a crowd increases your chances of being infected.
The other main way the virus spreads is from touching surfaces that are contaminated with the virus and then touching your eyes, mouth or nose. An individual infected with the virus can start transmitting it up to a day before the symptoms start, and up to a week after the symptoms become noticeable, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It is believed the new swine flu spreads in the same way as other types of flu.
