QUICK REMEDIES TO STRESS-CAUSED HEAD-ACHES.


 Most people get involved in so many activities each day, they end up having a head-ache. Stress-caused head-aches are so common in adults and children. Pills are efficient in relieving yourself of the head-ache. But the question is, how often will you continue to endanger your liver with ANAESTHETICS( drugs that can make a person not to feel pains)?
   Well here are some pill-free tips that can help you get rid of stress-caused head-aches.
1. Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can lead to a headache, especially if you've vomited recently or you're hungover. Drink a tall glass of water as soon as your head starts to hurt, and try to continue drinking small sips throughout the day. You may gradually feel the pain start to ease. Don’t drink water that’s too cold if you already have a headache. Extremely cold or iced water can trigger migraines in some people, especially if they’re already prone to migraine headaches. Room-temperature water is a better option.
2. Find a quiet, dark place to take a break. If you can, try to lie down and relax for at least 30 minutes. Shut the blinds, turn off the lights, and focus on your breathing. This sensory reduction can help you relax and heal. Request absolute peace and quiet. If you're forced to rest around other people, explain that you have a headache and ask that they please try to be quiet and leave you undisturbed. Asking for cooperation can help you avoid an ugly interruption later
3. Practice progressive muscle relaxation. Progressive muscle relaxation can help ease headache pain. Other exercises focused on relaxation, such as gentle yoga or meditation, can also help. Lie down in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Beginning at your forehead, tense all the muscles in a specific group for five seconds. Relax the muscles and focus on the feeling of release that you experience in your muscles. Move to the next group of muscles. Muscle groups to tense and relax include: forehead, eyes and nose, lips-cheeks-jaw, hands, arms, shoulders, back, stomach, hips and buttocks, thighs, feet and toes.
4. Use acupressure techniques. Acupressure may help you relieve tension and headache pain, especially if your headaches are caused by muscle tension or stress. Stimulating acupressure points in your neck, shoulder, and hands can help relieve headaches.
5. Use aromatherapy. Aromatherapy preparations vary considerably, but some of the more commonly used essential oils for headache treatment include lavender, sweet marjoram, and chamomile. Use for neck massaging, in a bath, or to inhale. For the relief of aches and pains: Mix five drops rosemary oil, five drops nutmeg oil, five drops lavender oil in a carrier oil such as olive or coconut oil. Massage onto the neck and upper back area.
6. Use food-based remedies. Lack of food can cause a headache, so make sure you've eaten something recently. Some foods and beverages may also trigger headaches (red wine, MSG, and chocolate are common culprits). Be mindful of what you eat, and don’t eat foods that you notice routinely cause headaches. You may also be able to help treat headache pain by eating certain foods.
7. Get plenty of sleep. Having good "sleep hygiene"-- getting plenty of good quality sleep-- can help you feel better generally and can reduce headache occurrences. Adults should get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night. If you have trouble sleeping, try some of the following techniques:
  • Limit your "screen time" before bed
  • Only use your bed for sleep and intimacy
  • Limit caffeine consumption in the later part of the day
  • Begin dimming the lights and giving yourself time to "wind down" before preparing for bed Reference :wikihow

FACTS ABOUT BLOOD YOU MUST KNOW.

Blood makes up around 7% of the weight of a human body. Blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. These blood cells float in a yellow liquid called blood plasma. Blood plasma is made up of 90% water and also contains various nutrients, electrolytes, gases, proteins, glucose and hormones. Blood plasma can be separated from the cells by spinning blood in a device known as a centrifuge until the cells collect at the bottom of the tube. Red blood cells have the important job of carrying oxygen around the body. They also contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains iron which combines with oxygen to give hemoglobin and our blood, a red color. Red blood cells develop in bone marrow and circulate in the body for around 120 days. White blood cells are an important part of the body’s immune system. They defend against certain bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, infectious diseases and other unwanted materials. Platelets help blood clo...

HALITOSIS (BAD BREATH), WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW!

  Bad breath, medically known as HALITOSIS, can result from poor dental health habits and may be a sign of other health problems. Bad breath  can also be made worse by the types of foods you eat and other unhealthy lifestyle habits. when it comes to what you eat,  all the food eaten begins to be broken down in your mouth .  If you eat foods with strong odors (such as garlic or onions), brushing and flossing -- even mouthwash -- merely covers up the odor temporarily. The odor will not go away completely until the foods have passed through your body.    If you don't brush and floss  teeth   daily, food particles can remain in your  mouth , promoting bacterial growth between teeth , around the gums, and on the   tongue. This causes bad breath .   Antibacterial  mouth   rinses also can help reduce bacteria.    In addition, odor-causing bacteria and food particles can cause bad breath if de...
