Awareness of Allergies
Is pollen allergic?
To remember the daily dosage, time it with an evening shower. A quick full-body
rinse before bed washes away pollen before you hit the sheets.Question: Does my diet affect my vaginal odor?
Answer: Women’s fixation with this perceived problem seems universal. A slight scent is normal.
See your doctor, avoid douching; which kills healthy vaginal flora, and thong underwear, which can transmit germs from back to front, advises Dr Mathews. Both can pave the way for harmful bacteria to raise a stink. It’s also possible that certain foods may alter your feminine scent. Though there’s no scientific proof, you can try consuming more ‘odor-eating’ foods. Some women swear by a diet loaded with acidic fruits such as pineapples and mangoes.
In the lab, the scientists watched human fat cells release C-reactive protein (CRP), which prompts cells that line artery walls to become inflamed. So it’s likely that the more fat that’s stored in your body, the more CRP you have in circulation. Excess CRP may ignite hot spots on artery walls where atherosclerosis (blockage) can build up. If you’re heading for abdominal surgery, chewing gum may help you recover more quickly. The gum group’s bowel function returned within 3 days of the operation and they went home a full day earlier than the other group. Chewing gum can also help prevent the temporary loss of digestive function common after abdominal surgeries, such as C-sections and hysterectomies. The act of chewing may signal to the gut that food is on the way, encouraging it to become active.If you’re overweight, pay special attention to dosing instructions
Because obesity may weaken your liver’s ability to flush medication from your system, side effects can be amplified in heavier people—so you may need a lower dose. Make sure you get the right amount for your weight.
For your life
1 Question your dose: Ask your doc or pharmacist if the prescription is based on lean body mass (muscle, organs and bone). Her calculations may be off, as this is challenging to assess in obese people, warns George B Corcoran, PhD, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Wayne State University. Even a slightly high dose can be dangerous: If a medication is more water soluble, for instance, much of it will stay in the lean body mass and go to the body’s organs, increasing side effects.
2 Have your liver checked: Your annual blood report might catch problems; more frequent or specific tests may help show if a medication is being particularly hard on your liver.
New CPR: Hold your breath
For some CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) cases, skip the mouth-to mouth: A landmark Japanese study says that a person who receives chest compressions alone after going into cardiac arrest is twice as likely to survive with brain function intact than one who gets both compressions and oral resuscitation. The body has enough oxygen to sustain itself for a few minutes until help arrives, so doing compressions to circulate already oxygen-rich blood is a greater priority. Traditional CPR is still advised for those who have drowned or suffered a non-cardiac emergency.
Who’s sleeping around? Scientists can tell
People who are socially dominant and either very friendly or very antagonistic tend to be more sexually promiscuous.
When they compared the subjects’ responses, they were able to confirm that dominance is a key trait of people who have a lot of sexual partners. They also found that people who are either extremely warm or cold toward others tend to be promiscuous—and that people who are just moderately warm have the fewest sexual partners. Antagonistic people might prefer to have multiple sex partners in order to avoid being in a monogamous relationship, out of fear of being poorly treated or being later rejected.
