Prolapse of the uterus refers to the downward displacement of the vagina and uterus. The word prolapse is derived from the Latin “procidere” which means with effect to fall. This disorder is more common in our country than in the western world. The uterus is held in position by adequate ligaments besides; it has the support of the muscular structures of vagina and all other local tissues and muscles. Due to the laxity of support by muscles, tissue and ligaments, the uterus sags downwards. A woman suffering from prolapse of a uterus feels that something is coming down through the vagina. She feels a sense of fullness in the region of the bladder and rectum. Other symptoms include dragging discomfort in the lower abdomen, low backache, heavy menses and milk vaginal discharge. There is also an increase in the frequency of urination and the patient feels difficulty in total emptying of the bladder. There may also be a burning sensation due to infection. The woman may experience difficulty in passing stools and complete evacuation of bowels. These symptoms become more pronounced before and during menstruation. The condition may also result in difficulty in normal sexual intercourse and sometimes sterility. https://health2daytips..com/2019/11/natural-treatment-for-prolapse-of-uterus.html

Cleansing the colon is a good initial step, because efficient waste disposal is essential in order to prevent the accumulation of debris and disease. Many modern bowels are accustomed to highly processed food and drink. The stress of our diet can cause a variety of disorders to arise, from a wide range of bowel complaints to less-obvious problems in other parts of the body like skin disorders, general allergies, and so on. A common problem today is poor stomach activity with depleted digestive juices, which contributes to making the colon less competent and more prone to under activity or overactivity. Cleansing the colon is a good initial step toward increased health and well-being. The cleanse can last between two and three weeks or, if taken at a gentler pace, between two and three months. This cleanse should be directed and supervised throughout by a practitioner after initial checks for individual suitability. If the program is not appropriate for any reason, such as work commitments or children, it can be modified and used on a two-day basis. The cleansing must be accompanied by a good diet without coffee, sugar, wheat, dairy products, and so on. Mucus-forming foods must be avoided as they can cause excessive stickiness in the colon, slowing down the passage of the feces and pasting old fecal matter to the walls of the colon. It is important to note that excessive mucus clogs up the whole body, not just the colon, so avoid animal products, eggs, cheese, and all wheat. Useful additions while cleansing includes: • Organic flaxseeds or psyllium husks (the fluffy, soft seed tops of a large fleawort, Plantago psyllium, found growing in Asia). Both plants soothe, heal, and attract water into the bowel. • It is vital to drink plenty of water — two quarts a day at least, but four quarts would be better. Some find tepid water (no sparkling spring water) easier to consume and more detoxifying. • Good foods: oats, rice, seeds, fruit, vegetables, herbal teas. The powerful herbal colon cleansing is the following: 1. Chamomile and cascara capsules: This is a very strong formula, designed for the modern bowel. It can be used on a weekly or daily basis on its own but is also a vital part of a three-pronged approach to the cleansing. People who may need to use this are those who are constipated because of an inherited lazy colon or through fiber and water deprivation or those who use morphine and other opiate drugs for pain relief. But there can be many, many other reasons for constipation. The number of people with lifelong genetic and behavioral tendencies toward this condition is rising by the day as junk-food consumption increases. The herbs help to retrain and regulate bowel function, promoting natural peristalsis; they also facilitate water absorption in the bowel and encourage liver, gallbladder, stomach, and pancreatic function. These herbs also clear out some of the old pockets of stagnant fecal matter that may harbor viruses, parasites, fungi, and bacteria. Should the bowel be inflamed, bleeding, and with pockets, this formula can still be used but with the addition of individually chosen herbs like meadowsweet leaf and flower, marshmallow root, and slippery elm inner bark. Although at first, the formula may not quite suit the individual, minor changes can be made until it does, such as using stool protectors and softeners. 2. Barberry capsules: Once constipation has given way to regular bowel movements, the bowel is ready to be cleansed in a different way. This formula is based on Master Herbalist Dr. Christopher’s formula and is designed more for daily maintenance. Dr. Christopher originally had a dysfunctional and chronically constipated bowel. He wanted to design and use an herbal formula, containing no laxatives that would maintain, strengthen, and gradually improve his bowel after he had cleansed and removed most, if not all, of the old fecal matter with strong herbs and healing clays. Combine this formula separately with psyllium husks, flaxseeds, and plenty of water on a daily basis. The herbs he used, which now have more than fifty years’ use, included • Cascara sagrada bark — used in correct quantity, a gentle peristaltic tonic • Barberry rootbark — a liver and bowel herb • Cayenne pod — to help circulation and peristalsis • Fennel seed — alleviates gas and toxicity • Garlic clove — protects against fungi, viruses, and other microbial • Gingerroot — warming and circulating • Licorice root — digestive and tonic • Lobelia leaf — antispasmodic, relaxing • Red raspberry leaf — stops bleeding, “feeds” the bowel, provides protective mucilage • Chinese rhubarb root — gentle, tonic, and laxative • Turmeric root — assists the immune system and liver • Wild yam root — a prime digestive (alleviates gas) and liver herb • Chamomile flower — soothing, antimicrobial reestablishes bowel flora Mix these together and place in capsules. Many people use this formula on a daily basis, aside from taking it during a bowel cleanses, and it is quite safe to do so. 3. Clay and flaxseed powder: The third herbal formula is designed to draw and detoxify within the bowel. The formula is made with the following powdered herbs: psyllium husks, bentonite clay, apple fruit pectin, flaxseed, slippery elm inner bark, sycamore charcoal, marshmallow root, and fennel seed. This formula draws out poisons, toxins, and heavy metals (like lead and mercury), and even removes radioactive materials such as strontium 90. It removes more than two thousand known chemical and pharmaceutical drug residues. Another of its incredible abilities is that of softening hardened fecal matter so that it comes away from the colon wall easily and painlessly. At the same time, it soothes and heals the stomach, intestines, and colon itself. Bentonite clay is able to absorb forty times its own weight and gently eases out old fecal matter, stale bile, and other unwanted residues. The clay is derived from volcanic ash and contains montmorillonite, which is a molecule five hundred times smaller than those that make up water (composed of hydrogen and oxygen), making it a far superior cleanser to water. These tiny molecules are capable of getting into the incredibly small nooks that water simply can’t enter, which is vital for a thorough cleanse. Most toxic material is positively charged, while bentonite clay carries a negative charge. Therefore, toxins are immediately neutralized. The pectin in apples removes radioactive substances from the body and generally detoxifies. Flaxseed and slippery elm inner bark lubricate, nourish, and cleanse. Marshmallow root similarly soothes, and its calcium and magnesium feed the nervous system. Slippery elm and marshmallow share an ability to promote tissue regeneration — useful in a bowel condition in which certain areas have worn very thin or old deoxygenated flesh is being exposed for the first time in years after being cleaned. Fennel seed is rich in phenols, which act in an antibiotic capacity. Charcoal cleanses the bloodstream supplying the bowel. Psyllium husks provide gentle, healing fiber. This formula can be taken half a teaspoon at a time (once or twice daily), mixed into juice, not just as part of a particular cleanse but by way of gently and consistently cleansing.

A kidney cleanse can be done at any time of year, but if a liver cleanses is also contemplated, do the kidney cleanse first. Very cold, damp weather is not an ideal condition in which to clear the kidneys, but as long as you keep warm and well wrapped up, it can be done during any season. Emotionally, you may feel weepy, vulnerable, and watery. Those who have felt this way have also felt that past issues were somehow accessed and flushed away. You must consume at least four and a half quarts of liquid a day, plus three cups of barley water. Keep vegetables and fruit separate in this program. On waking, drink at least a pint of distilled water. This flushes the digestive tract. Prepare a morning drink in a bottle: For the kidney and bladder flush, use the juice of two lemons or one lemon and one lime, one quart of spring water, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can, if you wish, add half a teaspoon of kidney herb tincture to the morning drink or take it separately. Herbs to choose would be similar to (or the same as) this formula: two parts each of dandelion root, marshmallow root, and Rehmannia root; and one part each of chickweed leaf, lobelia leaf, ginkgo leaf, Astragalus root, burdock root, Siberian ginseng root, parsley leaf, and bearberry leaf. A little maple syrup may be added to taste. Fifteen minutes after this drink, consume two cups of a tea made from the dandelion leaf, parsley leaf, bearberry leaf, and corn silk. This really gets the kidneys awake and livened up. If you are hungry, drink fresh fruit juices and fruit and herb teas until noon. Do not consume anything for one hour, and then begin on vegetables or vegetable juices, using olive oil dressing with apple cider vinegar, spices, and herbs. Also, have some potassium broth; it aids the body in ridding itself of toxins. Eat only vegetables, salads, vegetable juice, and herb teas until 4:00 p.m. eat nothing for one hour before switching back to fruit. Supper: Eat fresh fruit and drink fruit juices and herb teas. This program can be followed each day, but it is desirable to incorporate a day or two of fasting in the middle. For instance, on a five-day program, stop all solid food after lunch on the second day and stay with liquids only, including the potassium broth, until suppertime on the third or fourth day. Then take a little fruit and ease back into eating vegetables and fruit as before. Every day, take thirty minutes of energetic exercise in the open air to get the cardiovascular system stimulated and cultivate positive thoughts. This is a time to nurture yourself and find out how to make the most of the food program — don’t plan to do this program in a busy week. On this program, the kidneys are stimulated and supported and, though it might seem that they are working overtime, they are relieved of coping with a heavy, exhausting diet with too much inorganic material and too little liquid. The adrenals also benefit. Distilled water, being “empty,” can carry out of the body a much greater load of inorganic material that might otherwise collect in the kidneys, forming stones and irritation. Traditionally, the kidneys are the seat of energy in the body, and they are also associated with the emotion of fear. Purging this negative emotion is very important and has a radical effect on one’s general outlook on life. Read more health tips @https://health2daytips..com/

Rheumatism is recognized as one of the most serious threats to health. It is a crippling disease which causes widespread invalidism, but it rarely kills. The disease is referred to as an acute or chronic illness which is characterized by pain and swelling of the muscles, ligaments, and tendons or the joints. It affects both men and women, young and old. The disease quite often extends to the heart and valves and the lining of the vital order becomes inflamed. It is the most common cause in 80 percent of the cases of valvular organic diseases of the heart. The Treatment: In acute rheumatism, the patient should be put on a short fast of orange juice and water for 3 0r 4 days. While during the fasting, the bowels should be cleansed through a warm water enema. Then after the juice fast, the patient should be placed on a restricted diet for 14 days. In this phase, orange or grapefruit may be taken for breakfast, lunch may be of a raw salad of any vegetables in season, with raisins, prunes, figs or dates; and for dinner, one or two steamed vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, carrots, turnips, cauliflower, etc., and a few nuts or some sweet fruit may be taken. No bread or potatoes or other starchy food should be taken; otherwise, the effect will be lost. After that, the patient may gradually commence a well-balanced diet of three basic food groups, namely: 1. Seeds, nuts and grains. 2. Vegetables 3. And fruits. In chronic rheumatism, the patient may be placed on an all-fruit diet for four or five days. In this phase, the patient should have three meals a day of fresh, juicy fruits such as apples, grapes, peaches, pears, oranges, pineapples, and grapefruit. He may thereafter gradually adopt a well-balanced diet. The patient should take ripe fruits and fresh vegetables in abundance. Lots of buttermilk should be taken. The foods which should be avoided are meat, fish, white bread, sugar, refined cereals, rich indigestible and highly seasoned foods, tea, coffee, alcohol, sauces, pickles, and condiments. Raw potato juice is regarded as an excellent food remedy for rheumatism. One or two teaspoonfuls of the juice pressed out of mashed raw potato should be taken before meals. This will help eliminate an acid condition and relieve rheumatism. The skin of the potato is also an excellent food remedy for rheumatism. The skin is exceptionally rich in vital mineral salts and the water in which the peelings have been boiled is one of the best medicines for the ailments caused by an excess of acid in the system. The potato peelings should be thoroughly washed and boiled for a few minutes. The decoction should then be strained and a glassful of the same should be taken three or four times daily. Celery is another effective food remedy for rheumatism. A fluid extract of the seeds is more powerful than the raw vegetable. This also has a tonic action on the stomach and kidneys. Five to ten drops of this fluid should be taken in hot water before meals. The powdered seeds of the fruit can be used as a condiment. Lemons are also valuable and the juice of two or three lemons may be taken each day. Other helpful methods in the treatment of rheumatism are the application of radiant heat and hot packs to the affected parts, a hot tub bath, cabinet steam bath, dry fiction, and a sponge bath. Hot Epsom-salt baths are also known to be beneficial and should be taken twice a week for three months in case of chronic rheumatism and once weekly after the three months. The affected parts should be bathed twice daily in hot water containing Epsom-salt after which some olive oil should be applied. Fresh air, deep breathing, and light outdoor exercises are also beneficial. But dampness and cold should be avoided. Visit https://health2daytips..com/ for more health tips

The prevention of conception is one of the most common causes of prolapsus of the ovaries, a very common and painful disease. Not infrequently, too, other organs, particularly the bladder, become affected in consequence of the congested and condition of the contiguous parts. It is undeniable that all methods employed to prevent pregnancy are physically injurious. Some of these have been characterized with sufficient explicitness, and the injury resulting from incomplete carnal knowledge to both parties has been made evident to all who are willing to be convinced. It should require but a moment's consideration to convince anyone of the harmfulness of the common use of cold ablutions and astringent infusions and various medicated washes. Simple and often wonderfully salutary as is cold water to a diseased limb, festering with inflammation, yet few are rash enough to cover a gouty toe, rheumatic knee, or erysipelatous head with cold water but yet, when in the general state of nervous and physical excitement attendant upon carnal knowledge, when the organs principally engaged in this act are congested and turgid with blood, do you think you can with impunity throw a flood of cold or even lukewarm water far into the vitals in a continual stream? Often, too, many women add strong medicinal agents, intended to destroy by dissolution of the spermatic germs, ere they have time to fulfill their natural destiny. These powerful astringents suddenly corrugate and close the glandular structure of the parts, and this is followed, necessarily, by a corresponding reaction, and the final result is debility and exhaustion, signalized by leucorrhoea, prolapsus, and other diseases. Of the use of the intermediate tegumentary coverings, made of thin rubber or gold-beater's skin, and so often relied upon as absolute preventives, it is said to be just cobwebs for protection, and bulwarks against love. Their employment must certainly produce a feeling of shame and disgust, utterly destructive of the true delight of pure hearts and refined sensibilities. They are suggestive of licentiousness and the brothel, and their employment degrades to bestiality the true feelings of manhood and the holy state of matrimony. The degree of perturbation that a like practice should exert upon the genital system of woman by provoking desires which are not gratified, a profound stimulation is felt through the entire apparatus; the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries enter into a state of organism, a storm which is not appeased by the natural crisis, a nervous super-excitation persists. The sensibilities of the womb and the entire reproductive system are teased for no purpose. It is to this cause, too often repeated, that should attribute the multiple neuroses, those strange affections which originates in the genital system of a woman. https://health2daytips..com To be contd

Here is a presented fact by a physician: The sexual function is for the purpose of producing new individuals to take the place of those who die, and thus preserve the species from becoming extinct. In the animal kingdom generally the reproductive function is necessarily a periodical act, dependent upon the development of the reproductive organs of both the male and the female at stated periods. In those exceptional cases in which the organs of the male are in a state of constant development, sexual congress occurs, in lower animals, only at those periods when the periodical development occurs in the female. Fecundation of the female element can only take place about the time of periodical development in the female. The desire for sexual congress naturally exists in the female only at or immediately after the time of periodical development. The constant development of the sexual organs in human males is a condition common to all animals in which development occurs in the female at short intervals, and is a provision of nature to secure a fruitful union when the female is in readiness, but not an indication for constant or frequent use. The time of sexual congress is always determined by the condition and desires of the female. An additional fact, as stated physiologists, is that, under normal conditions, the human female experiences sexual desire immediately after menstruation more than at any other time. It has, indeed, been claimed that at this period only does she experience the true sexual instinct unless it is abnormally excited by disease or otherwise. The conclusion facts drawn from the above facts are the following: The fact that in all animals but the man species, the act can be performed only when reproduction is possible, proves that in the animal kingdom in general the sole object of the function is reproduction. Whether man is an exception must be determined from other considerations. The fact that the males of other animals besides man in which the sexual organs are in a state of constant development do not exercise those organs except for the purpose of reproduction, is a proof of the position that the constant development in man is not a warrant for their constant use. The general law that the reproductive act is performed only when desired by the female, is sufficient ground for supposing that such should be the case with the human species also. It is incredible the act of bringing men into life, the act of humanity, without contradiction of the most importance, should be the one of which there should have been the least supposed necessity for regulation or which has been regulated the least beneficially. The very lively solicitations which spring from the genital sense, have no other end than to insure the perpetuality of the race. He is an ill-husband that uses his wife as a man treats a harlot, having no other end but pleasure. It is a sad truth that many married people, thinking that the flood-gates of liberty are set wide open, without measures or restraints, have felt the final rewards of intemperance and lust by their unlawful using of lawful permissions. It is a common belief that a man and woman, because they are legally united in marriage, are privileged to the unbridled exercises of amativeness. This is wrong. Nature, in the exercise of her laws, recognizes no human enactments, and is prompt to punish any infringement of her laws, in those who are legally married, as in those out of bonds. Excessive sexual indulgence between the married produces as great and lasting evil effects as in the single man or woman, and is nothing more or less than legalized prostitution. The effects upon the husbands – The principal blame in the matter properly falls upon the husband, but it cannot be said that he is the greatest sufferer, however, his punishment is severe enough to clearly indicate the enormity of the transgression and to warn him to reformation of his habits. The married man who who thinks that because he is a married man, he can be indulge in the act as long as he want, will suffer as certainly and as seriously as the unmarried debauchee who acts on the same principle in his indulgences, perhaps more certainly from his very ignorance, and from his not taking those precautions and following those rules which a career of vice is apt to teach the sensualist. Married people often appear to think that the connection may be repeated as regularly and almost as often as their meals. Till they are told of the danger, the idea never enters their heads that they are guilty of great and almost criminal excess. Some people go as far as to believe that indulgence may increase their powers, just as gymnastic exercises augment the force of the muscles. This is a popular error, and requires correction. Such patients should be told that the shock on the system each time connection is indulged in, is very powerful, and the expenditure of seminal fluid must be particularly injurious to organs previously debilitated. It is by this and similar excesses that premature old age and complaints of the generative organs are brought on. It is not the body alone which suffers from the excesses committed in married life, but much of the languor of mind, confusion of ideas, and inability to control the thoughts, of which some of the married men complaints, arise from the cause. The debilitating effects of excessive sexual indulgence arise from two causes; the loss of the seminal fluid, and the nervous excitement. The sperm is the purest extract of the blood. Nature, in creating it, has intended it not only to communicate life, but also to nourish the individual life. In fact, the re-absorption of the fecundating liquid impresses upon the entire economy, new energy, and manliness which contributes to the prolongation of life. Nothing costs the economy so much as the production of semen and its forced ejaculation. It has been calculated that an ounce of semen was equivalent to forty ounces of blood. Semen is the essence of the whole individual. https://health2daytips..com

It is of utmost important for us to understand the relation of the mind to the functions of the sexual system. The mind has the power to stimulate many of the glands of the body to unusual activity. In the presence of delicious fruit or a table spread with tempting food, the mind stimulates the salivary glands to increased activity. The blood flows freely to the glands and they secrete saliva many times as fast as they would when the mind is engaged in other things. If, when the saliva is being secreted so rapidly, the mind should be suddenly directed to something else, the unusual flow of saliva would cease. THE RELATION TO SEX ORGANS. The mind can awaken, intensify, and prolong a desire for food. This causes a rush of blood to the salivary glands, stimulating them to unusual activity in the secretion of saliva. In the same way the mind can awaken, intensify and prolong sexual excitement. This causes a rush of blood to the genital glands and stimulates them to unusual activity. In the male, this results in the dissipation of the vital energy by voluntary or involuntary discharges of the vital fluid. In the female, the internal secretions or vital energy does not become chemicalized as in the male, but it is directed to wrong channels or is dissipated by radiation. It has been observed that the development of the feminine physical and mental characteristics during adolescence and the maintenance of womanhood are due to the generation of an internal secretion of the genital glands. The nerves, as well as all other organs of the body, faculties of the mind and powers of the soul, are injured by the dissipation of this energy. Whatever leads the mind to entertain lascivious thoughts about matters of sex will cause an excess of blood to flow to the genital organs, resulting in sex consciousness and passion. The reading of novels tainted with immoral suggestions, admiring obscene pictures, engaging in the public round dance, kissing, caressing, teasing, handling will produce these results. Self-pollution, or the secret sin, is more common among the females than was formerly believed. These indulgences lead to abnormal sexual desire, weaken the will and make it possible for the girl to surrender the priceless gem of virtue. The dissipation of sex life in anyone or more of these ways will slowly undermine the physical, mental and moral health. The victim loses the snap and luster of the eye, the ruddy glow of health, plumpness of features, and become conscious of bodily lassitude, nervousness, loss of mental and moral tone. Dissipation of the sex life will explain many nervous invalid and consumptive patients. The continuous involuntary function of the creative organs is to generate this creative force, the life principle. It is for the person involve in the act to decide what use he or she will make of it. If is to keep the mind pure, eat only wholesome food, take plenty of exercise, breathe deeply, sleep in properly ventilated rooms, spend time in God's word, this creative life will vitalize the blood, give elasticity and strength to the muscles, and will express itself in physical health, strength and beauty. By keeping the mind pure, following the forgotten physical directions, taking plenty of mental exercise in reading books of high mental and moral tone, hearing good speakers and indulging in independent thought, this vital principle will be directed to the brain, where it will be converted into intellectual brilliancy and mental vigor. https://health2daytips..com |
Rice is a cereal grain, which belongs to the grass species oryza sativa and oryza glaberrima. The grain comes in more than 40,000 varieties with different shapes, sizes, texture, aroma, and colors. Most varieties contain a high amount of carbohydrates and protein. The fiber content varies according to the types. For example brown rice has more fiber than the white rice, so it is a healthy option. The health benefits of rice include its ability to provide instant energy, regulate and improve the bowel movements, stabilize blood sugar levels, and slow down the aging process, and also plays a role in providing vitamin B1 to the human body. The other benefits include its ability to aid in skin care, boost metabolism, regulate digestion, and reduce high blood pressure. And also helps in weight loss, boosts the immune system, and provides protection against dysentery, cancer and heart diseases. Below are the health benefits of rice in details: CONTROLS BLOOD PRESSURE: Because of the low amount of sodium in rice, it is considered to be one of the best foods for people suffering from hypertension. Sodium can cause veins and arteries to constrict, thereby increase stress and strain on the cardiovascular system as the blood pressure increases. It is also associated with heart conditions like atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes, so to avoid such a mineral will be good for the body. PREVENTS ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: Brown rice contains high level of nutrients which stimulates the growth and the activity of neurotransmitters, subsequently helps to prevent Alzheimer's disease to a considerable extent. The various species of wild rice have been shown to stimulate neuro-protective enzymes in the brain, which inhibit the effects of free radicals and other toxins that can cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease. BOOSTS CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: Rice bran oil is known to have antioxidant properties that promote cardiovascular strength by reducing cholesterol levels in the body. The wild and brown rice varieties are far better than the white variety since the husk of the grain is where much of the nutrients are. DIURETIC AND DIGESTIVE QUALITIES: The husk of rice is considered to be an effective medicine to treat dysentery. As diuretic, it helps to eliminate toxins from the body like uric acid, and even lose weight, since approximately 4% of urine is actually made up of body fat. The higher fiber content also increases the bowel movement regularly and protects against various types of cancer, as well as reducing the chances of cardiovascular diseases. SKIN CARE: Medical experts has found that powdered rice can be applied topically to cure skin conditions. The phenolic compounds, particularly in brown or wild variety of rice, have anti-inflammatory properties, which makes them good for soothing irritation and redness. Either it is consumed or topically applied, it tends to relieve a number of skin conditions. The antioxidant capacity also helps to delay the appearance of wrinkles and other premature signs of aging that affect the skin. PREVENTS CANCER: Variety of brown rice, is rich in insoluble fiber that helps to protect against many types of cancer. It is believe that such insoluble fibers are vital for protecting the body against the development and metastasis of cancerous cells. The fiber is beneficial in defending against colorectal and intestinal cancer. Besides the fiber, it also has natural antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin A, and phenolic and flavonoid compounds, which help sour free radicals from the body. PREVENTS OBESITY: Rice forms an integral part of a balanced diet as it can provide nutrients without having any negative impacts on health. The low levels of fat, cholesterol, and sodium also help to reduce obesity and associated conditions. PROVIDES ENERGY: Because of the abundant of carbohydrates in rice, rice acts as fuel for the body and aids in the normal functioning of the brain. Carbohydrates are metabolized by the body and turned into functional, usable energy. The vitamins, minerals, and organic components found in it increase the functioning and metabolic activity of all the organs, which further increases the energy levels. GLUTEN-FREE: Rice naturally does not contain any gluten, so it causes no inflammation in the gut. For people suffering from celiac disease, they can easily include it in their diet. https://health2daytips..com

Healthy gums play a major role not only for the dental health, but for the overall health also. Gum disease causes irritation, redness, and inflammation of the gums, which is very painful for individuals experiencing it. So it is important to take care of the gums and teeth regularly. The home remedies for gum disease includes brushing and flossing of the teeth regularly, massaging of the gums, using an antimicrobial mouth wash, regular oral hygiene, quit smoking, and using clove, mint, and fruit juices. TYPES OF GUM DISEASES: The types of gum diseases can be divided into two types, namely gingivitis and periodontitis. And if left untreated for a long time, may cause major damage to the bones and soft tissues that support the teeth. Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease where the gums become swollen, red, and may bleed easily. Generally, gingivitis makes its way into the least orally hygiene mouths. The untreated gingivitis leads to periodontitis. The causes of most gum diseases is the presence of bacterial plaque . The plaque is a sticky and colorless film that easily attaches itself to the teeth. THE CAUSES: Wrong brushing techniques: Many people sometimes over do the brushing of their teeth in the quest to keep their teeth healthy. The overly vigorous brushing of the teeth might actually cause damage to the gums, since they are very soft and sensitive. Many people who use the back and forth styles of brushing, which can irritate and damage the gums, causes a recession in the gum line, as well as increasing the frequency of bleeding gums. Chemotherapy: The swollen and painful bleeding gums could be an unpleasant side effect of chemotherapy. People who are undergoing chemotherapy may suffer from stomatitis which gives rise to painful sores and ulcers in the mouth and on the gums. Smoking and tobacco: A study in the Swedish army revealed that soldiers who smoked were more susceptible to oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis than those who did not. Using cigarette and tobacco products is extremely bad for the gums. Poor oral hygiene: When the brushing and flossing of the teeth is not done regularly, then the gum disease can develop therein. THE REMEDIES: The use of mouth wash: The use of anti-microbial mouth wash is very beneficial in preventing and reducing gingivitis and plaque. But there must be a recommendation from the dentist first before choosing a specific mouthwash. Massaging of the gums: Massaging the gums after brushing will help to increase blood circulation. An increased amount of circulation will strengthen the gums and prevent them from bleeding. Cleaning the tongue: Cleaning the tongue is as important as brushing the teeth. The proper scraping on the surface of the tongue is recommended after every meal. This will remove the excess bacteria and prevent them from forming plaque on the teeth. Flossing: Flossing the teeth regularly may help in reducing gingivitis. By simpling sliding the floss up and down between the teeth, it can reach those places that are difficult for a brush to reach, which therefore remove the plaque. Brushing of the teeth: It is suggested that the brushing of the teeth should be done twice daily. And it is more beneficial when there is fluoride content present in the toothpaste that is use. The suggested brushing time of the teeth should be from 30 to 60 seconds. And should ensure the proper brushing of the gum line as well, since most of the plaque that can cause infections is present therein. Fruit juices: The fruits and fruit juices are good for keeping the human body healthy. The consumption of fruit juices such as pineapples, oranges, and grapes has a positive impact on reducing plaque. Mint: Due to its germicidal properties, mint stops harmful bacteria from growing inside the mouth, and also helps to keep the teeth and tongue clean. Mint is also used in almost all the mouth fresheners. Cloves: Cloves are excellent for gum health. Using cloves is an age-old and easy home remedy for any kind of dental problems. Clove oil is being analgesic and have antiseptic properties, which makes it highly effective in both relieving the pain caused by the gum disease and healing the infection at the same time.

The menopause, also called the climacteric, while in some language, is known as “change of life,” this is the period at which woman ceases to menstruate. The average age at which this occurs is about forty-eight. But while some women continue to menstruate up to the age of fifty, fifty-two, and even fifty-five, others cease to menstruate at the age of forty-five or even forty-two. Between forty-four and fifty-two are the normal limits. Anything before or beyond that is exceptional. Just as the beginning of menstruation may set in without any trouble of any kind, and just as some women have not the slightest unpleasant symptoms during the entire period of their menstrual life, so the menopause occurs in some women without any trouble, physical or psychic. The periods between the menses become perhaps a little longer, or a little irregular, the menstrual flow becomes more and more scanty, then one or several periods may be skipped altogether, and the menopause is permanently established. Many women, however, the majority probably, suffer considerably during the transitional year or years of the menopause. Symptoms are both of a physical and of a psychic character, but psychic symptoms predominate. There may be headache, capricious appetite, or complete loss of appetite, considerable loss of flesh, or on the contrary very sudden and rapid putting on of fat, great irritability, insomnia, profuse perspiration, hot flashes throughout the body, and particularly in the face, which make the face “blushing” and congested, are particularly frequent. Then the woman's character may be completely changed from gentle and submissive, she may become pugnacious and quarrelsome, jealousy without any grounds for it may be one of the disagreeable symptoms, making both the wife and the husband very unhappy. In some exceptional cases a genuine neurosis or psychosis may develop. The cause of suffering during menopause: Most of the distressing symptoms of the menopause are due, not to the menopause itself, but to the wrong ideas about this period that have prevailed for so many years ago. We know the influence of the mind over the body, and the pernicious effect which wrong ideas may exercise over our feelings. The generally prevalent opinion among women, and men for that matter, and not only of the laity but unfortunately of the medical profession as well, is that the menopause is the end of woman's sexual life. Every woman is laboring under the erroneous impression that with the establishment of the menopause, with the cessation of the menses, she ceases to be a woman, and as she does not become a man, she becomes something of a neuter being, neither woman nor man. And she has the idea that after the menopause she can have no further attraction for her husband or for other men. Naturally such an idea has a very depressing effect on any human being. Any human being fights to the last to retain all its human functions, especially the function which is considered as important as is the sexual function. Although the permanent cessation of the menses in the woman's reproductive function is at an end, but the reproductive function is not. If women in general will learn that with the establishment of the menopause they do not cease to be women, if they will learn that the sexual desire in women lasts long beyond the cessation of the menopause, many women being as passionate at sixty as at thirty, if they will learn that their attractiveness or non-attractiveness to the male does not depend upon the menopause, but upon their general condition, if they will learn that many women at fifty and sixty are much attractive than some women at half that age, they will not take the onset of the menopause so tragically and they will thereby avoid the greater part of their mental and emotional suffering. https://health2daytips..com

The act of nursing is sometimes painful to the mother, especially better the habit is fully established. The discomfort is greatly increased if the skin that covers the nipples is tender and delicate. The suction pulls it off leaving them in a state in which the necessary pressure of the child's lips cause intense agony. This can be prevented in a great measure, if not entirely, by bathing the nipples twice a day for six weeks before the confinement with powdered alum dissolved in alcohol, or salt dissolved in brandy. If there is any symptom of the skin cracking when the child begins to nurse, they should be painted with a mixture of tannin and glycerin. This must be washed off before the baby touches them and renewed when it leaves them. If they are very painful, the doctor will probably order morphia added to the mixture. A rubber nipple shield to be put on at the time of nursing, is a great relief. If the nipples are retracted or drawn inward, they can be drawn out painlessly by filling a pint bottle with boiling water, emptying it and quickly applying the mouth over the nipple. As the air in bottle colds, it condenses, leaving a vacuum and the nipple is pushed out by the air behind it. When the milk accumulates in the breast in hard patches, they should be rubbed very gently, from the base upwards with warm camphor-rated oil. The rubbing should be the lightest, most delicate stroking, avoiding pressure. If lumps appear at the base of the breast and it is red swollen and painful, cloths wrung out of cold water should be applied and the doctor sent for. While the breast is full and hard all over, not much apprehension need be felt, it is when lumps appear that the physician should be notified that he may, if possible, prevent the formation of abscesses. While a woman is nursing she should eat plenty of nourishing food-milk, oatmeal, cracked wheat, and good juicy, fresh meat, boiled roasted, or broiled, but not fried. Between each meal, cocoa, gruel made with milk, good beef tea, mutton broth, or any warm nutritive drink can be taken. But tea and coffee are to be avoided. It is important to keep the digestion in order and the bowels should be carefully regulated as a means to this end. If necessary, any of the laxative mineral waters can be used for this purpose, or a teaspoonful of compound licorice powder, taken at night. Powerful cathartic medicines should be avoided because of their effect upon the baby. https://health2daytips..com

Fruits and vegetables contain certain mineral elements, which are not present in sufficient proportions in the meats, starches, and fats. The products of their digestion and burning in the body help to neutralize, or render harmless, the waste products from meats, starches, and fats. Also they have a very beneficial effect upon the blood, the kidneys, and the skin. In fact, the reputation of fruits and vegetables for “purifying the blood” and “cleaning the complexion” is really well deserved. The keenness of our liking for fruit at all times, and our special longing for greens and sour things in the spring, after their scarcity in our diet all winter, is a true sign of their wholesomeness. Not the list of their advantages is that they contain a very large proportion of water, and this, though diminishing their fuel value, supplies the body with a naturally filtered and often distilled supply of this necessary element of life. Many of the vegetables contain small amounts of starch, but few of them is enough to count upon as fuel, except potatoes, which is already classed with coal foods. Most fruits contain a certain amount of sugar, how much can usually be estimated from their taste, and how little can be gathered from the statement that even the sweetest of fruits, like ripe pears or ripe peaches, contain only about eight percent of sugar. They are chiefly useful as flavors for the less interesting staple foods, particularly the starches. And in fact, our instinctive use of them to help down bread and butter, or rice, or puddings of various sorts, is a natural and proper one. Like the vegetables, they contain various salts which are useful in neutralizing certain acid substances formed in the body. People who fed upon a diet consisting chiefly of salted or preserved meat, with bread or hard biscuit and sugar, but without either fruits or fresh vegetables, are likely to develop a disease called scurvy. Their low fuel value: How little real fuel value fruits and vegetables have, may be easily seen from the following table. In order to get the nourishment contained in a pound loaf of bread, or a pound of roast beef, a person have to eat: Large apples or pears (5Ibs); 4-1/2 quarts of strawberries; a dozen bananas (3-1/2Ibs), 7Ibs. Of onions; 2 doz of large large cucumbers (18Ibs); 10Ibs of cabbage; ½ bushel of lettuce or celery. Apples, the most wholesome fruit – when ripened, or properly cooked, they are readily digested by the average stomach, though some delicate digestions have difficulty with them. They contain a fair amount of acids, and from five to seven percent of sugar. Their general wholesomeness and permanent usefulness may be gathered from the fact that they are one of the few fruits, which can be eaten daily, all year round, or at very frequent intervals, without getting tired of them. Food that don't get tired of, is usually food which is good for the body. Dried apples are much inferior to the fresh fruit, because they become toughened in drying, and because the growers sometimes smoke them with fumes of sulphur in the process, in order to bleach or whiten them, and this turns them into a sort of vegetable leather. The other fruits – their advantages and draw backs; The next in usefulness probably come pears, though these have the disadvantage of containing a woody fiber, which is rather hard to digest, and they are of course, poorer “keepers” than apples. Then come peaches, which have one of the most delicious flavors of all fruits, but which tend to set up fermentation and irritation in delicate stomachs, though in the average stomach, when in moderation, they are wholesome and good. Then come the berries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries – all excellent and wholesome, when fresh in their season, or canned, or preserved. A warning is given about these most delicious, fragrant berries, and as it happens to apply also to several of the most attractive foods. While perfectly wholesome and good for the majority of people, strawberries, for instance are to a few, perhaps one in twenty, so irritating and indigestible as to be mildly poisonous. The other foods which may play this kind of trick with the stomach of certain people are oranges, bananas, melons, clams, lobsters, oysters, cheese, sage and parsley, and occasionally, but very rarely, eggs and mutton. The banana is of some food value because it contains not only sugar, but considerable quantities of starch, about the same amount as potatoes. But, if bananas are not fully ripe, both their starch and sugar are highly indigestible, while, if over-ripe, they will develop in them irritating substances, which are likely to upset the digestion and cause hives, or eczema, especially in children. Bananas should therefore be regarded rather as a luxury and an agreeable variety than as a substantial part of the diet. Food values of the different vegetables: The vegetables depend for their value almost solely upon the alkaline salts and the water in them, and upon their flavor, which gives an agreeable variety to the diet. Parsnips, beets, and carrots are among the most nutritious, as they contain some starch and sugar, but they so quickly pall upon the taste that they can be used only in small amounts. Turnips and cabbages possess the merit of being cheap and very easily grown. They contain valuable earthly salts, plenty of pure water, and a trace of starch. But these advantages are offset by their large amount of tough, woody vegetable fiber, this is incapable of digestion, and though in moderate amounts it is valuable in helping to regulate the movements of the bowels, in excess it soon becomes irritating. Both of them, particularly cabbages, contain,also, certain flavoring extracts, very rich in sulphur and exceedingly irritating to the stomach, cause them to disagree with some people. If these are got rid of by brisk boiling in at least two waters, then cabbage is a fairly wholesome and digestible dish for the average stomach. And because of its cheapness and “keeping” power, it is often the only vegetable that can be secured at a reasonable cost at certain seasons of the year. Onions – especially the milder and larger ones, are an excellent and wholesome vegetable, containing small amounts of starch, although their pungent flavor, due to an aromatic oil, makes them so irritating to some stomachs as to be quite indigestible. Sweet corns – whether fresh or dried, is wholesome and has a fair degree of nutritive value, as it contains fair amounts of both starch, it should, however, be very thoroughly chewed and eaten moderately, on account of the thick, firm indigestible husk which surrounds the kernel. Tomatoes – are an exceedingly valuable, though rather recent addition to our dietary. Their fresh pungent acid is, like the fruit acids, wholesome and beneficial, and they can be preserved or canned without losing any of their flavor. They were at one time denounced as being indigestible, and even as the cause of cancer, but these charges were due to ignorance and distrust of anything new. Lighter vegetables, or paper foods – the lighter vegetables such as lettuce, celery, spinach, cucumbers, and parsley have been classed with the paper foods. They are all agreeable additions to the diet on account of their fresh taste and pleasant flavor, though they contain little or no nutritive matter. https://health2daytips..com

The high fuel value and the small bulk of fats give them a very great practical advantage whenever supplies of food have to be carried for long distances, or for considerable lengths of time, as in sea voyages and hunting and exploring trips. So that in provisioning ships for a long voyage, or fitting out an expedition for the arctic regions, fats, in the shape of bacon or pork, pemmican, or the richer dried fishes, like salmon, mackerel, and herring, will be found to play an important part. Fats also have the great advantage, like the starches of keeping well for long periods, especially after they have been melted and sterilized by boiling, or “rendering,” as in the case of lard or have had moderate amounts of salt added to them, as in butter. The most useful and wholesome single fat is the one which is in greatest demand, that is butter. This is the churned and concentrated fat of milk, to which a little salt has been added to keep the milk-acid (lactic acid) which cannot be entirely washed out of it, from “turning it sour” or rancid. The rancid, offensive taste of bad or “strong” butter is due to the formation of another acid call butyric (“buttery”) acid. Butter is the best and most wholesome of our common fats because it is most easily digested, most readily absorbed, and least likely to give rise to this butyric acid fermentation. We should be particularly careful, even more so almost than with other foods, to see that it is perfectly sweet and good because when we swallow rancid butter, we are simply swallowing a ready-made attack of indigestion. Most people's stomachs are strong enough to deal with small amounts of rancid butter without discomfort, but it is a strain on them that ought to be avoided, especially when good butter is simply a matter of strict cleanliness and care in handling and churning the cream, and of keeping the butter cool after it has been made. Plenty of sweet butter is one of the most important and necessary elements in our diet, especially in childhood. And if children are allowed to eat pretty nearly as much as they want it on their bread or potatoes, and plenty of its liquid form, cream, on their berries and puddings, it will save the necessity of many dose of cod-liver oil, or bitter physic. Cream is far superior to either cod-liver or castor-oil for keeping us in good health. On account of the expensiveness of butter, there are a number of substitutes sold, which go under the name of “oleomargarine.” These are made of the fat, or suet, of beef or mutton, mixed with a certain amount of cream and real butter, to give them an agreeable flavor. They are wholesome and useful fats, and for cooking purposes may very largely be substituted for butter. Owing to the fact that their fat is free from the milk acids, they keep better than butter, and sweet, sound oleomargarine is to be preferred to rank, than rancid butter. But it not readily digestible as butter is, its more liable to give rise to the butyric acid fermentation in the stomach. https://health2daytips..com |
THE EFFECT ON DIGESTION: It has been recommended by some people that alcohol increases the appetite and the flow of the gastric juice. When the experiments were carried a little further, however, it was clearly shown that its presence in the stomach and intestines. In such amounts as would result from a glass of beer, or one or two glasses of wine with a meal, interfered with the later stages of digestion, so that the later harmful effects overbalanced any earlier good effects. ITS EFFECT ON THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BODY: Another claim urged in its favor was that it warmed the body and protects it against cold. It ought to have been easy for anyone with a sense of humor to judge the value of this claim by the fact that it was equally highly commended by its users as a means of keeping them cool in hot weather. Its supposed effects in the case of both heat and cold were due to the same fact. It deadened the nerves for a time to whatever sense of discomfort one might then be suffering from, but made no change whatever in the condition of the body that caused the discomfort. Any drug which has this deadening effect on the nerves is called narcotics, opium, chloroform, ether, and chloral. It was found in the bitter school of experience that alcohol, though producing an apparent glow of warmth for the time, instead of increasing the power to resist cold, rapidly and markedly lessens it, so that those who drink heavily are much more likely to die from cold and exposure than those who let alcohol alone. ITS EFFECT ON WORKING POWER: Then, it was claimed that alcohol increased the working power of the body, that more work and better work would be done by men at hard labor, if a little beer, or wine, was taken with their meals. Indeed, most of those who take alcohol believe that they work faster and better, and with less effort with it than without it. But the moment that this feeling of increased power and strength was submitted to careful tests in the laboratory and in the workshop, it was found that instead of more being accomplished when alcohol was taken, even in very moderate amounts, less was accomplished. The false sense of increased vigor and power was due to the narcotic power of alcohol to deaden the sensations of fatigue and discomfort. https://health2daytips..com |
A few rules should be carefully followed during each menstruation, in order that future trouble may be prevented. First of all, it is necessary to avoid taking cold, yet a person should not stay in the house by the side of a fire, or in a warm room all the time, for this would increase the susceptibility to cold. Care should be taken to avoid undue exposure, for nothing will disturb the menstrual process quicker than the sudden chilling of the body, especially when moist with perspiration. Intense mental excitement should be avoided also, if the young girl is at school, she should be told to study more lightly at this time, while any great excitement of any kind, as giving way to anger, or extreme merriment, should be avoided. menstrual pain The feeling of debility and depression which usually accompanies this time is a gentle warning by nature that the body should remain quiet and at rest. It is natural for many girls to be especially depressed at this time, an effort should be made by those who understand the situation to make everything as agreeable and pleasant as possible to the sufferer. Danger to school girls: Without the slightest doubt, many women are suffering intensely to-date who might be enjoying the best of health had they not been obliged to study so intensely while in school. A moderate amount of study does no harm at this time, but the dread of examinations, with the modern system of cramming at certain times of the school year, has without doubt, so worked upon the nervous system that many a life has been made miserable as a result. Danger to office girls: It is astonishing when one fully understands the processes of menstruation, how so many girls and young women can remain all day behind the counter in the store, or at the work-table, during these few trying days, and even escape without serious illness. Employers never think of the subject, and there is a natural delicacy on the part of those most concerned to mention the subject. There should be in all such establishments some woman to whom these girls could confide their condition. This woman, or overseer, could easily be made responsible for the apparent neglect of duties by this girls at such times. Criminal carelessness: How often is it true that young ladies attend balls, skate, and otherwise recklessly expose themselves at this most critical time. One is almost inclined to call such exposures really criminal, because of the terrible consequences that is sure to follow. A simple wetting of the feet, or resting quietly in a draught after exercise, during menstruation may impose upon the person a life-long injury. How carefully, then, should mothers watch their daughters at these periods, and how strongly should they impress upon them the necessity of special care. Condition of bowels important: The condition of the bowels should also be carefully looked after at these times. Indeed, this is important that it should never be neglected. There should be at least one good movement of the bowels each day. Nothing can more certainly derange the menstrual function than persistent constipation. menstrual pain Regularity important: Every mother should make careful inquiry into the exact frequency of the menstrual period with her young daughter, at least during the first two years of the menstrual function. If there is pain at this time, then something is certainly wrong, and treatment should be taken at once. If there is irregularities, this also requires most prompt attention, as it will surely develop into something serious sooner or later. If the flow is too free, or not free enough, or if there is any deviation from the standard of health, the mother should be acquainted with it, and should proceed at once to correct the difficulty. First two years very important: If a girl can get through the first two years of her menstrual life without serious disease, she stands a very good chance of enjoying good health during the rest of her life, while a slight mistake at this time may produce the most serious disease in later life. https://health2daytips..com |
The effect of work upon the heart. Whatever else in our body may be able to take a rest at times, but the heart can never take rest. When it stops, we stop. Naturally, with such a constant strain upon it, we should expect it to have a tendency to give way, or breakdown, at certain points. The real wonder is that it breaks down so seldom. It has great powers of endurance and a wonderful trick of patching up break-down and adjusting itself to strains. human heart Every kind of work, of course, done in the body, throws more work upon the heart. When we run, or saw wood, our muscles contract, and need more food-fuel to burn, and pour more waste-stuff into the blood to be thrown off through the lungs, so the heart has to beat harder and faster to supply these calls. When our stomach digests food, it needs a larger supply of blood in its walls, and the heart has to pump harder to deliver this. Even when we think hard or worry over something, our brain cells need more blood, and the ever-willing heart again pumps it up to them. This is the reason why we cannot do more than any of these things at a time to advantage. If we try to think hard, run foot races, and digest our dinner, all at one and the same time, neither head, stomach, nor muscles can get the proper amount of blood that it requires, we cannot do any one of the three properly, and are likely to develop a headache, or an attack of indigestion, or a “stitch in the side” and sometimes all three. So the circulation has a great deal to do with the intelligent planning and arranging of our work, our meals, and our play. If we are going to increase our endurance, we must increase the power of our heart and blood vessels, as well as that of our muscles. The real thing to be trained in the gymnasium and on the athletic field is the heart rather than the muscles. Unfortunately, however, the heart is itself a muscle, alive and growing, and with the same power of increasing in strength and size that any other muscle has. So that up to a proper limit, all these things which throw strain upon the heart in moderate degree, such as running, working, and thinking, are not only not harmful, but beneficial to it, increasing both its strength and its size. The heart, for instance, of a thoroughbred race-horse is nearly twice the size, in proportion to his body weight, of the heart of a dray-horse or cart-horse, and a deer has more than twice as large a heart as a sheep of the same weight. The important thing to bear in mind in both work and play, in athletic training, and in life, is that this work must be kept easily within the powers of the heart and of the other muscles, and must be increased gradually, and never allowed to go beyond a certain point, or it becomes injurious, instead of beneficial, hurtful, instead of helpful. Over-work in the shop or factory, over-training in the gymnasium or on the athletic field, both fall first and heaviest upon the heart. The importance of food, air, and exercise. At the same time, the system must be kept well supplied through the stomach with the raw material both for doing this work and for building up this new muscle. When anyone, in training for an event, gets “stale” or over-strained, and loses his appetite and his sleep, he had better stop at once, for that is a sign that he is using more energy than his food is able to give him through his stomach, and the stomach has consequently “gone on a strike.” https://health2daytips..com

In order to live a hygienic life, it is not necessary to supply the body with wholesome substances and to exclude unwholesome substances, but it is also necessary that the body should at times act, and at other times be inactive. There are two great forms of activity, they are; work and play. And also the two great forms of inactivity are; rest and sleep. All the four of the activities are needed in a healthy lifestyle and in due relation to each other. It is distinctly unhealthful either to over-do or under-do work, play, rest, or sleep. Moderation in all things is a rule that is particularly important for our health. Not all people are in need of exercise, nor are all in need of rest, but almost everyone needs to change his proportion between the two. Nowadays many people are suffering from too much or too little work. For instance, the increase in diseases of the heart is often due to nervous over-strain combined with either too much or too little physical exertion. Some of the activities are as follows: Prevention of over-strain: The methods of preventing or correcting over-strain vary greatly, according to the kinds of over-strain. In general, over-strain of any kind tends to lead to over-fatigue. Over-strain is to be avoided, by paying attention to nature's fatigue signals as soon as they appear. A very moderate degree of fatigue is perhaps normal, but anything that approaches exhaustion should be avoided with the utmost care. Monotony and interruption: If the monotonous strain of performing numerical additions is interrupted a few times daily, the adding faculty of the brain is given much needed rest. Most people complain of the many interruptions which they suffer, but if they would welcome this interruptions instead of allowing themselves to be irritated by them, each interruption would serve the purpose of a vacation. It is in this way that some of the greatest workers have been enabled to accomplished so much. Eye-strain: One of the organs which is most commonly strained in this days is the eye. The eye, in its modern use is constantly focusing at a short distance. To look at the horizon is a rest. The reflex evils from eye-strain are great and numerous and are often incorrectly ascribed to entirely different causes. Headaches, nausea, and dizziness are especially frequent results of the eye-strain. Eye-strain is to be prevented by scientifically adapted spectacles, by care to secure the right kind of illumination, and in some cases by systematically resting the eyes. Reading on moving-trains or looking at moving pictures for a long time may over-strain the eye. One should be especially careful not to read in a waning light, or, on the other hand, to read in the glare of the sun. If someone works facing a window, it is advisable to wear an eye-shade, otherwise there is a struggle between the tendency of the bright light to close the pupil and the tendency of the work requirement to keep it open. Need of work: Normal work is one of the greatest blessings of life, but too many miss the joy of it, some people because their work has gone to the extreme of drudgery and others because it has shrunk into nothingness and futility. Sometimes people become ill because of their personality, hungry for work, self-imposed curse of the idle rich. Variety of work: Variety of work is especially needed nowadays, when specialization tends to lead men to extremes. Changes in work which prevent a sense of monotony will greatly increase the power to work. Working hours: Working hours should be so arranged as to enable the worker to fully recuperate overnight partly from sleep and partly from the recreation enjoyed in leisure between work and sleep.

The kidneys are the filter-glands. They are made of a mesh, or network, of tiny tubes of two kinds, one set of tubes being blood vessels, and the other set the tiny branches of the kidney tubes which finally run together to form the ureters. The urine filters, through from the spongy mesh of blood tubes (capillaries) into the kidney tubes and is poured out through the ureters. It is very important that the urine should be discharged as fast as it fills the bladder, that is, about once every three hours during the day. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with this, and whenever nature tells you the bladder is full, it should be emptied promptly, or the poisons which nature is trying to get rid of in the urine may get back into the blood and cause serious trouble. The disease of the kidneys: Naturally, the kidneys, working all the time and pouring out, as they do every day, from three to four pints of the liquid waste called urine, are subject to numerous diseases and disturbances. One of the common causes of these is failure to keep the skin thoroughly clean and healthy, as perspiration is of somewhat of the same character as the urine, and if it be checked, it throws an extra amount of work upon the kidneys. Another most important thing to keep the kidneys working well is to drink plenty of water, at least six or eight glasses a day, as well as to eat plenty of fresh green vegetables and fresh fruits, which, as we have seen, are eighty percent water. We are a walking aquarium, and all our cells must be kept flooded with and soaked in water in order to be healthy. If the blood becomes overloaded with poisons, so much work may be thrown upon the kidneys that they will become inflamed and diseased and cannot form the urine properly and then poisons accumulate in the system and finally produce serious illness and even death. One of the causes of disturbance and permanent damage to the kidneys is the habitual use of alcohol. Even though it is taken in moderate amounts, the constant soaking of the tissues with even small amounts of alcohol may be the most harmful to the kidneys, as well as to the liver. https://health2daytips..com.ng/2018/03/diseases-of-kidney-and-prevention.html#more |
1. EXERCISE: A good amount of moderate exercise is a necessity, and a large amount of work may be accomplished if prudence is properly exercised. It is overwork, and the wants of sufficient rest and sleep that produces serious results. 2. DRESSES: A pregnant woman should make her dresses of light material and avoid surplus trimmings. Do not wear anything that produces any unnecessary weight. Let the clothing be light but sufficient in quantity to produce comfort in all kinds of weather. child bearing without pain 3. SHOES: A pregnant woman should wear a large shoe, the feet may swell and an untold discomfort may be the result. She should get a good large shoe with a large sole, and give the feet plenty of room. Many women suffer from defects in visions, indigestion, backache, loss of voice, headache, etc. simply because of the result of the reflex action of the pressure of tight shoes. 4. BATHING: Cleanliness is next to godliness. A pregnant woman should take a sponge or towel-bath 2-3 times a week. It stimulates and invigorates the entire body. It should be done in a warm room, and the body rubbed thoroughly after each bathing. 5. DIET: The pregnant woman should eat nutritious, but not stimulating or heating food, and should be eating at the regular time. And should avoid drinking much while eating. 6. A pregnant woman should eat all kinds of grains, vegetables, and fruits, and should avoid salted meat, and eat chicken, steak, fish, oysters etc. 7. The pregnant woman, who eats indiscriminately anything and everything the same as any other person, will have a very painful labor and suffer many sicknesses that could be easily avoided by more attention being paid to her diet. 8. The diets should be light, plain and nutritious. Should avoid fats and sweets, relying mainly upon fruits and grain that contain little of the mineral salts. 9. The bathing must be frequent and regular, unless in special conditions, the best results are obtained from cold bathing, which invigorates the system and overcomes nervousness.

The special value of the grape lies in the fact that is a very quick repairer of bodily waste, the grape sugar being taken immediately into the circulation without previous digestion. For this reason is grape juice the best possible food for fever patients, consumptives, and all who are in a weak and debilitate condition. The grapes should be well chewed, the juice and pulp swallowed, and the skin and stones rejected. In countries where the grape cure is practiced, consumptive patients are fed on the sweeter varieties of grape, while those troubled with liver complaints, acid gout, or other effects of over-feeding, should take the less sweet kinds. People who suffers from malaria may use grapes with great benefit. The grapes with its skins and stones, should be well pounded in a mortar and allowed to stand for three hours. The juice should then be strained off and taken. Or a person with good teeth may also eat the grapes, including the skins and stones, if they thoroughly macerate the latter. In the absence of fresh grapes raisin(dried grape) tea is a restoring and nourishing drink. It is noted to be of the same value as milk, if made in proportions given below. It is much more easily digested than milk, and is therefore of great use in gastric complaints. People suffering from chronic gastritis could not do better than make raisin-tea their sole drink, and bananas their only food for a time. To make raisin-tea: Take half a pound of good raisins and wash well, but quickly, in lukewarm water. Cut up roughly and put it into the old fashioned beef-tea jar with a quart of distilled or boiled and filtered rain water. Cook for 4hrs, or until the liquid is reduced to 1 pint. Scald a fine hair sieve and press it all through, except the skins and stones. If desired, you can add a little lemon juice. https://health2daytips..com.ng/2018/02/the-medicinal-benefits-of-grape-fruits.html#more |
Cleanliness is next to godliness: Without cleanliness the human body is more or less defiled and repulsive. The vagina should be cleansed with the same faithfulness as any other portion of the body. Soap and water: is a very simple domestic remedy, and will many times afford relief in many diseases of the womb. It seems it thoroughly cleanses the parts. A little borax or vinegar may be used the same as salt water injections. Syringes: are highly recommended by physicians as vaginal cleansers. They will be found to be a great relief in health or sickness, and in many cases cure barrenness or other diseases of the womb. Salt and water injections – This will cure mild cases of leucorrhoea. Add a teaspoonful of salt to a pint and a half of water at the proper temperature. Injections may be repeated daily if deemed necessary. Injections and during the monthly flow – it is not proper to arrest the flow, and the injections will stimulate a healthy action of the organs. The injections may be used daily throughout the monthly flow with much comfort and benefit. If the flow is scanty and painful, the injections may be as warm as they can be comfortably borne. If the flowing is immoderate, then cool water may be used. Water temperature – females who are not accustomed to use vaginal injections would do well to use water warm-milk at the commencement, after that, the temperature may be varied according to circumstances. But in case of local inflammation, hot water may be use.

ose Mourinho says Paul Pogba's unique value to Manchester United puts him on the same level as Lionel Messi and Neymar. Barcelona dealt United their first defeat of their pre-season campaign, with Neymar's first-half goal enough to see off Mourinho's side - which featured eight changes from the victory over Real Madrid. Pogba returned to the starting line up, along with £90m summer signing Romelu Lukaku, and the midfielder's performance convinced his United boss he deserves to be placed in the category of irreplaceable players at Barcelona and Real Madrid. "(Lionel) Messi and Neymar, there is only one; there is not two," said Mourinho after the game. "(Luis) Suarez, (Andres) Iniesta, (Gerard) Pique, (Cristiano) Ronaldo, (Gareth) Bale, (Luka) Modric, Toni Kroos; there is only one so they can only play for one club, not for two clubs. "We can't have them, they belong to the clubs. But I have to say that Paul Pogba showed the level... he showed he belongs to that level." Pogba, Anthony Martial and Andreas Pereira had their chances on goal to equalise for United in the second half at the FedexField but failed to test Barcelona stopper Jasper Cillessen as they Mourinho insisted it was important for United to finally lose in their last game of their US tour though. "It's very important to lose a match in pre-season," Mourinho said. "I think it would be very bad for us to leave the U.S. without a defeat, playing against teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, it would be very bad to go home with just victories. "I think in the game we did some very good things and we did bad things. The very good things are to keep and the bad things are to improve." https://pageitnow.com/blogs/857/11275/mourinho-says-paul-pogba-on-same-level-as-lionel-messi-and-neym

Three Kenyan men who stripped and attacked a woman in a bus have been sentenced to death by a magistrate in the capital, Nairobi. The death sentence was imposed after the three were convicted of robbery with violence, a Star newspaper reporter told the BBC. “A bus driver Nicholas Mwangi, conductor Meshack Mwangi and petrol station attendant Edward Ndung’u were found guilty of robbery with violence and assault by the Nairobi Chief Magistrate, Francis Andayi,” the Daily Nation newspaper has reported.

Chief magistrate Francis Andayi said that those convicted had taken part in a "senseless and uncouth attack that they seemed to enjoy because they were cheering as they stripped the woman", the privately owned Daily Nation newspaper reports. This episode was part of a wave of sexual assaults in Nairobi during 2014, the BBC has said. The victim had told the court that there were about seven men in the bus and they wanted to rape her but she lied that she was HIV-positive. She said the video recording was only 59 seconds long but the incident lasted longer. The charges against them stated that on the night of September 19 and 20 at Millenium petrol station in Githurai 44, jointly with others, they robbed a woman identified as H E W (to protect her identity) of Sh10,200, a Samsung Galaxy mobile phone worth Sh27,000, one bottle of perfume, a clutch bag and a make-up kit all amounting to Sh41,700.

Drinking coffee could be connected to a reduced risk of dying from a slew of disease including heart disease and stroke, according to two new studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The health benefits and limitations of coffee have been long studied, and this isn't the first time coffee drinkers have seen headlines claiming their morning habit may result in a longer life. One of the studies examined a little over 185,000 Americans, and found that whether people drank caffeinated or decaffeinated, coffee was associated with a lower risk of death due to heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease in African-Americans, Japanese Americans, Latinos and whites. "Seeing a similar pattern across different populations gives stronger biological backing to the argument that coffee is good for you whether you are white, African-American, Latino or Asian, " Veronica W. Setiawan, lead author of the study and an associate professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California, said in a statement. Those who reported that they drank two or three cups of coffee a day had an 18% decrease chance of death compared to those who did not drink coffee over the 16 year test period, according to the study. The group reported their coffee drinking habits and updated them every five years. "We cannot say drinking coffee will prolong your life, but we see an association," Setiawan said. The European study, surveyed more than 520,000 people across 10 countries, and also found that those who drank several cups of coffee a day had a lower risk of death than those who did not drink coffee. The study does have limitations, and the researchers were not able to pinpoint a casual relationship, or why coffee appears to have these health benefits. The researchers note that those who do not report drinking coffee may skip the beverage because of health problems, thus their mortality rate could be the result of them being more unhealthy to begin with. Both studies separated smokers from nonsmokers and other factors that could have played a part in the results. https://pageitnow.com/blogs/857/10800/research-has-found-that-drinking-coffee-can-lead-to-a-longer-li
