i smokes 2-3 times a day on work, i want to quite it, can someone help me?

Asked by Atul in Alternative Medicine at 4:19 AM on November 07, 2007

MR Owais's Answer

Nicotine is a powerful addiction. If you have tried to quit, you know how hard it can be. People who are trying to quit smoking go through both physical and psychological withdrawal. Here are some tips for quitting. Drink a lot of liquids, especially water. Try herbal teas or fruit juices. Limit coffee, soft drinks, and alcohol - they can increase your urge to smoke. Avoid sugar and fatty food. Try low-calorie foods for snacking - carrots and other vegetables, sugarless gum, air-popped popcorn, or low-fat cottage cheese. Don't skip meals. Exercise regularly and moderately. Regular exercise helps. Joining an exercise group provides a healthy activity and a new routine. Get more sleep. Try to go to sleep earlier and get more rest. Take deep breaths. Distract yourself.

Can you give a remedy for scars?

Asked by anish26 in Alternative Medicine at 11:21 AM on November 07, 2007

MR Owais's Answer

Time and treatment will lessen the scar differently in every person. I have thousands of scars. Cortisone works but has bad side effects. My favorite is using those gel sheets for scars and adding constant pressure for many months depending on the severity. It can be very uncomfortable but i have tried all the oils and herbs that are rare and always expensive and found that Curel lotion comforts the most without a mess. 1st,2nd, and mostly 3rd degree scars map 75% of my body. The same with my non-burn scars from stitches, cuts,e.t.c. The only other way i know of is not a home remedy.

What type of massage should be given neck pain?

Asked by vivekbaddie in Alternative Medicine at 3:28 PM on November 07, 2007

MR Owais's Answer

ost massage therapists would say that if you have neck problems you might have tight muscles and poor blood flow to the area. When the muscles (and you) relax, the pain goes away. an acupressure massage therapist or acupuncturist might suggest you have a blockage in one of your meridians. An acupuncturist will try to open up this blockage to let your Qi flow by inserting little tiny needles into very specific points on your body, whereas an acupressure massage therapist will use their fingers and hands to locate and put gentle pressure on these very same points.

What is flat file system?

Asked by nilisha in Computers & Technology at 5:07 PM on November 07, 2007

MR Owais's Answer

A flat file is a file containing records that have no structured interrelationship. The term is frequently used to describe a textual document from which all word processing or other structure characters or markup have been removed. In usage, there is some ambiguity about whether such markings as line breaks can be included in a "flat file." In any event, many users would call a Microsoft Word document that has been saved as "text only" a "flat file." The resulting file contains records (lines of text of a certain uniform length) but no information, for example, about what size to make a line that is a title or that a program could use to format the document with a table of contents.This type of flat file is also known as a comma-separated values file (CSV) file. In SQL for Dummies, an introduction to Structured Query Language and , Allen G. Taylor notes that the advantage of a flat file is that it takes up less space than a structured file. However, it requires the application to have knowledge of how the data is organized within the file.
