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

Health risks of high heeled shoes.

 It is so common to see some ladies put on high heels and be on them for hours. If you are one of them, have you sat down and asked yourself if it in anyway affects your health? I will be glad to share the possible health risks of wearing such shoes with you. Consider what a doctor who is a member of the American osteopathic association says " High heels put the foot at an angle and pull muscles and joints out of alignment, so the effects aren’t limited to the feet,” Dr. Surve explained. “It’s not unusual for people who spend lots of time in high heels to have low back, neck and shoulder pain because the shoes disrupt the natural form of the body.”      Structurally, the plantar fascia in the foot is connected to the calf muscle, which in turn connects to the hamstring. The hamstrings attach to the pelvis and low back, which is why wearing high heels can make your back ache along with your feet. Also, walking on the balls of your feet will shift your center of gravi...

HOW MUCH BLOOD IS PUMPED BY THE HEART EACH DAY?

Your heart beats 101,000 times a day. During your lifetime it will beat about three billion times and pump about 800 million pints of blood or about one million barrels -that’s enough to fill more than 3 super tankers. The adult heart pumps about five quarts of blood each minute – approximately 2,000 gallons of blood each day – throughout the body.  A typical athlete’s heart churns out up to eight gallons of blood per minute.     Blood Pumping Procedure The  deoxygenated blood  is collected from all parts of the body by the  right atrium . This deoxygenated blood is pushed into the lungs by the right ventricle. This takes place by the  Pulmonary Artery . The oxygenated blood is collected from the lungs by the left atrium. The  oxygenated blood  is pumped to all body parts by the left ventricle. This is carried out by the  Aorta . The filling up and emptying of the left side and the right side occurs in unison.

Wounds often occur because of an accident or injury. Types of wounds include: Cuts Scrapes Puncture wounds Burns Pressure sores A wound may be smooth or jagged. It may be near the surface of the skin or deeper. Deep wounds can affect : Tendons Muscles Ligaments Nerves Blood vessels Bones AMONG the numerous mechanisms that make human life possible is the body’s ability to heal wounds and regenerate damaged tissue. Th e process begins as soon as an injury occurs. Consider:  The healing process is made possible by a cascade of complex cellular functions: Platelets adhere to tissues around a wound, forming a blood clot and sealing damaged blood vessels. Inflammation protects against infection and removes any “debris” caused by  the injury. Within days, the bo dy beg...
