Hints for Reducing Belching
2008-02-11 19:37:00
Everyone belches occasionally, often after eating. However, some people belch so much that it becomes annoying and embarrassing. Belching is simply the release of swallowed air from the stomach. The stomach does not produce air or gas on its own. Each time a person swallows food or liquid, some air is swallowed with it. The more frequently a person swallows, the greater the amount of air entering the stomach. Some individuals are "air swallowers" because they frequently swallow saliva and air, and then belch it up. Air swallowers should concentrate on trying to reduce the number of times they swallow air.Avoid pipes, cigarettes and cigars; chewing gum and hard candy; sipping through straws and bottles with narrow mouths; and dentures that do not fit properly. They can increase saliva.Avoid foods that contain air, such as carbonated beverages or whipped cream, and fizzy medicines, such as bicarbonate of soda. Eat slowly. Gulping food and beverages add large amounts of air into the st...

Cinnamon Help Lowering Blood Glucose and Cholesterol
2008-02-11 19:23:00
There has been a lot of talk these days about cinnamon. According to some studies, cinnamon may improve blood glucose and cholesterol levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. The results of a study from 2003 in Pakistan showed lower levels of fasting glucose, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol after 40 days with levels continuing to drop for 20 days after that. The study was made up of 60 people with Type 2 diabetes who were divided into 6 groups of 10. Three groups received cinnamon in the form of capsules totaling 1, 3 or 6 grams of cinnamon a day. The other three groups received placebo capsules. The capsules were taken three times a day, after meals. All three levels of cinnamon showed results, leading researchers to believe that as little as 1 gram a day of cinnamon may benefit people who have Type 2. There has been some debate in this country on whether "true" cinnamon was used for the study.According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there are two typ...

The main causes of liver damage
2008-02-10 06:33:00
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause. 2. Not urinating in the morning. 3. Too much eating. 4. Skipping breakfast. 5. Consuming too much medication. 6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener. 7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit. 8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Main taining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."

TAKE CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
2008-02-10 06:30:00
BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS 1. No Breakfast People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. 2. Overeating It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power. 3. Smoking It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease. 4. High Sugar consumption Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development. 5. Air Pollution The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency. 6. Sleep Deprivation Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells. 7.

Watching Television And Obesity
2008-02-07 03:03:00
On average, most of us watch more than four hours of television per day. We're so sedentary, we don't even get up off the couch to switch the channels as we did in the old days. Meanwhile, obesity rates are increasing. When you sit watching TV, you burn fewer calories than pretty much any other activity, according to Dr. William Dietz from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Weight control is a matter of calories taken in versus calories burned. More calories taken in than used up results in weight gain.The average household has the TV on in the background for more than 7 hours per day. People viewing more than 3 hours of television per day are twice as likely to be obese as those watching less than 1 hour per day. As TV viewing time increases, so does snacking, while physical activity decreases. Researchers found that for middle-aged men, TV viewing and eating between meals was associated with weight gain. Vigorous activity, decreasing TV use, and changing eating habits result...

Daytime Sleep May Boost Memory
2008-02-05 18:33:00
Take a daytime nap, and you might wake up with a sharper memory. That's what happened in a new napping study that involved 33 undergraduate students. First, the students took three different tests of their short-term memory. In one test, they had to learn and remember pairs of unrelated words, such as "alligator" and "cigar." In another test, they had to navigate and remember a maze shown on a computer screen. And in the last test, the students had to copy a complex drawing onto a sheet of paper, and then sketch the drawing from memory. Next, half of the students napped for about 45 minutes, while other students watched TV. Finally, all of the students repeated the three memory tests Napping boosted scores on the word-pair test, but not the other two tests. A closer look at the test scores shows that on all three tests, people with the highest scores before napping were the ones with the biggest gains in their post-nap test scores. So if they didn't really absorb information befor...

Minimizing Adverse drug reactions
2008-02-03 17:34:00
What exactly is an adverse drug reaction? The World Health Organization’s definition of an ADR is “aresponse to a drug that is noxious and unintended and occurs at doses used in man for the prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy of disease, or for modification of physiological function.”3 This 30 year old definition is highly debated but is commonly understood to mean undesired side effects of pharmacological agents and interactions with other drugs, including herbal remedies, alcohol, and food. The terms “side effect” and “ADR” are often interchanged. Although there is no clear distinction, the former implies minor effects that have no lasting effect and may not even require discontinuation of the drug (for example, hypotension in a patient with heart failure who has been treated with an ACE inhibitor) whereas ADRs are more serious, always require discontinuation (or dose reduction), and may have lasting effects (for example, a florid skin rash in response to an antibiotic...

Are you Having STD ? and not knowing it.
2008-01-28 18:33:00
Could you have an STD and not know it? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Some sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, have symptoms that are often confused with signs of a bladder infection, while others, such as Chlamydia, seldom have any symptoms at all. Chlamydia According to the CDC, chlamydia is the most frequently reported and fastest growing sexually transmitted disease in the United States. Still, most cases go undiagnosed. The disease is most common in women aged 15-24. Symptoms: Three-quarters of women with chlamydia experience no symptoms; those who do may notice abnormal vaginal discharge, burning when urinating, and spotting between periods. Symptoms vs. exposure time: If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1-3 weeks of exposure. Transmission: Chlamydia can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It can also be passed from mother to baby during vaginal birth. Treatment: Chlamydia can be easily cured with antibiotics, usually a single dose ...
