10 Worst Female Health Habits

Finishing off their kids’ meals: Although this applies only to moms, it’s such a common habit that we had to include it in this list. In an attempt to reduce left overs and wasted food, many moms wipe off their kids’ plates at the end of a meal. Depending on how much the child has left, this could be a substantial addition of calories and can seriously derail the mom’s weight management efforts.


Wearing heavy earrings : One of the best things about being a woman is the joy of accessorising! And who can resist a great pair of earrings? Some women, however, go overboard when it comes to wearing large, dangling earrings. Cosmetic surgeons are often approached by women who’ve torn their ear lobes because of constantly wearing big earrings or worse, sleeping with their earrings on. To avoid torn earlobes, it’s best to wear light earrings on a daily basis or wear heavy ones with a chain as support.




Indulging in fad diets:   The need to lose weight, and lose it fast, causes women of all ages to turn to fad diets. From cabbage soup diets to zero carb diets, almost all these fad diets have been proven to be disasters. Not only do they cause your weight to go through the roof the second you get off the diet, they can also cause serious medical harm. The only trick to weight loss is a healthy diet, regular exercise and enough sleep.




Not wearing the right bra: The right bra not only gives you a great shape and allows your clothes to fit better; it can also be a huge contributor to better back health. Wearing a bra that’s the wrong size or one that does not give you the support you need can cause neck and back pain, as well as cause circulation problems. So get yourself measured for the right size and get a bra that fits you well.




Carrying very heavy bags:  Many women, especially moms, often joke that they carry the world in their bags. And while it’s convenient to have everything you need in your bag, a very heavy bag can take a serious toll on your neck and back health. Try and take out unnecessary items from your handbag and if you carry a laptop, use a bag pack to carry it, as against a sling bag.




Wearing ultra tight jeans: While the skinny jean trend is a huge fashion hit, it may not be the best thing for your health. Studies have shown that constrictive clothing can cause a number of medical conditions like vaginal yeast infections, bladder infections and even blood clots in the legs. You may have noticed abdominal discomfort when you eat while wearing tight clothing. Constantly wearing tight jeans can worsen the condition.



Wearing uncomfortable shoes: From wearing flimsy flip-flops that provide little to no support, to wearing very high heels that can play havoc on the joints, women around the country are guilty of putting style before support. While flip-flops or V-slippers seem like a comfortable option for a hot country as ours, most of them provide very little arch or heel support. Also, being as open as they are, they expose the feet to dust and other dirt from the roads. Heels over 2 inches high have been known to have an adverse effect on the joints and can even contribute to osteoarthritis that affects the knees, hips, ankles and feet. For daily wear to college or work, remember to wear comfortable shoes that provide cushioning, as well as support to the entire foot.




Avoiding weight training in gyms: Many women believe that lifting weights as part of their gym workout will lead to them bulking up like men. The truth is that because of the presence of oestrogen in women’s bodies, weight training will not lead to bulky muscles, but rather will help to burn fat, strengthen bones and even cut down the risk of diseases like osteoporosis and diabetes in the future.


Wearing synthetic underwear: Heat, moisture and synthetic clothing can be a breeding ground for yeast infections and itching and you definitely don’t want that in your private regions. Wearing sexy underwear or thongs once in a while is not a bad idea, but for daily use, stick to good old cotton underwear.




Not paying attention to heart health: For some reason, heart disease and heart attacks are only associated with men. While it’s true that oestrogen protects women’s heart for a majority of their lives, post menopause, women are as susceptible to heart disease as men. But the notion that heart disease doesn’t touch women is so strong that very often women even ignore symptoms of a heart attack. Ignoring heart health is a big mistake and women as well as men should take all the necessary measures to ensure a healthy heart.

CHRONIC SINUSITIS- NEW PROCEDURE HELPS

WHAT IS SINUSITIS?


It is an inflammation of the sinus lining caused by bacterial/ viral & or microbial infections, as well as structural issues like blockages of the sinus opening ( ostium). If the ostium is closed, normal mucus drainage may not occur, leading to infection & inflammation of the sinuses.

Sinusitis is usually preceded by a cold, allergy attack or irritation from environmental pollutants. The resulting symptoms- nasal pressure, nasal congestion, a "runny nose"& fever- run their course in a few days. However, if symptoms persist, a bacterial infection or acute sinusitis may develop. If sinus occurs frequently or lasts 3 months or longer, it may lead to chronic sinusitis. In such cases, the mucous membranes of the nose, sinuses & throat becomes inflamed, possibly from pre-existing cold or allergies. Swelling obstructs the sinus openings & prevents normal mucus drainage, causing mucus & pressure to build up.


Treatment


Chronic sinusitis is treated primarily using medication. Patients who do not respond to medication such as anti-biotic, nasal steroids, or over the counter drugs for more than 12 weeks , may benefit from surgical intervention. The doctor will make the decision based on the symptoms, nasal endoscopy & on CT scanning of the sinuses.


A breakthrough procedure,called Balloon Sinuplasty is now available.  Ensuring minimal bleeding & without cutting the normal structure, this procedure opens blocked sinus by restructuring the walls of the sinus passage. The procedure helps the drain mucus from the blocked sinus & restore normal sinus functioning.


Balloon Sinuplasty has a faster recovery time & provides long lasting results. Clinical data reveals that patients who underwent this procedure reported significant improvement & relief from symptoms & did not have any recurrence even after 2 years. Additionally, patients who do not et relief even after undergoing conventional surgical treatment can also try Balloon Sinuplasty.

How To Get Rid of Bad Smells/ Fumes

Smelly Feet


if the 25,000 sweat glands in your feet overdo their job or if your wear damp socks or shoes for too long, your feet can get smelly.


Solution-  Apply a diluted solution of lemon grass oil or verbena oil to your feet after washing & drying them.




Arm Pits Smelly


anxiety, hormones & armpit hair can turn your sweat sour. Or you may have wildly over active sweat glands, which is hyperhidrosis.


Solution-Most people need deodorants, not antiperspirants. But if you really suffer, try a boric acid or tannic acid solution. If this doesn't help, then put on 20% aluminium chloride at night & wash it off in the morning. Or try antibiotic cream to kill multiplying bacteria. Beta blockers ( medicine for high blood pressure) relieves chronic, stress related sweating.




Guts
What one eats fuels bad breath & flatulence. Food odours- onions, garlic, curry- pass into one's bloodstream & the aromas are exhaled from one's lungs ! The intestines pump out methane when one can't cope with carbs or don't have good bacteria in your guts.


Solution- Sweeten your breath by flossing, brushing your teeth & tongue & drinking plenty of water. Gas? try probiotics ( spore forms).

Foods That Fight Cavities

Encountering dental problems isn’t the most pleasant to happen to anyone. 

In order to prevent and protect us from these issues we must take the necessary steps. There’s nothing simpler than including a few foods to help you stay away from cavities and tooth decay. Below are a few for your help:

Fruits and Veggies

Including high-fiber foods in our daily diet keeps the saliva flowing, which creates minerals that help fight tooth decay.

Eating these fresh fruits and veggies is the simplest and healthy way to fight it out with tooth problems. 

Whole Grains

Whole grains are a rich source of Vitamin B, fiber and iron, which help in keeping the gums healthy. Eating bran, brown rice, whole grain cereals and pasta could help you put a stop to cavities. 

Calcium rich foods

Few of the most basic and vital ingredients to prevent tooth decay and ensure the good heath of your teeth are calcium rich products like milk, yogurt, cheese etc. This holds true particularly for growing children. Other sources of calcium would be leafy greens like spinach, broccoli. Apart from that fish, almonds, dried beans contain a good amount of calcium. 

Sugar-free Gum

It is recommended that one can chew sugar-free gum to avoid cavities. While chewing gum, there is a constant flow of saliva in your mouth. The mineral in the saliva helps to replace essential minerals on the teeth that are otherwise lost daily. 

Other Natural Ingredients

Adopting the natural route and taking a few extra steps to prevent tooth decay can be extremely rewarding. A few drops of tea tree oil on your toothbrush helps kill bacteria and has anti biotic properties. Another natural way is to rinse your mouth with either mint or cinnamon. These ingredients not only heal wounds but also help reduce toothaches.

Top 10 detox foods

Recently overindulged? Feeling a bit sluggish? Or just not looking your best? It could be that your body is in need of a detox. Fortunately, there are many foods around that can help counteract the effects of a toxic lifestyle. Whether you want to lose weight, feel more energised, improve your complexion or boost your mood, check out these top 10 foods to cleanse your body and boost your health.

Lemon: Lemons are a staple of many detox diets, and there is good reason for this. Firstly, lemons are packed with antioxidant vitamin C, which is great for the skin and for fighting disease-forming free-radicals. Furthermore, the citrus fruit has an alkaline effect on the body, meaning that it can help restore the body's pH balance, benefitting the immune system. Try starting your day with hot water and a slice of lemon to help flush out toxins and cleanse your system.

Ginger: If too much fatty food or alcohol has caused problems for your digestive system, it may be worthwhile adding some ginger to your diet. Ginger is not only great for reducing feelings of nausea, but it can help improve digestion, beat bloating and reduce gas. In addition to this, ginger is high in antioxidants and is good for boosting the immune system. To give your digestion a helping hand, try  sipping on ginger tea or adding some freshly grated ginger to a fruit or vegetable juice.

Garlic: Garlic has long been known for its heart benefits, however the pungent food is also good at detoxifying the body. Garlic is not only antiviral, antibacterial and antibiotic, but it contains a chemical called allicin which promotes the production of white blood cells and helps fight against toxins. Garlic is best eaten raw, so add some crushed garlic to a salad dressing to boost its flavour and your health at the same time.

Artichoke: If you have recently been overindulging in fatty foods and alcohol, adding some steamed globe artichoke leaves to your meals is a great way to help get your body back on track. Globe artichokes are packed with antioxidants and fibre and can also help the body digest fatty foods. On top of this, globe artichoke is renowned for its ability to stimulate and improve the functions of the liver - the body's main toxin-fighting tool.

Beetroot: For those needing a quick health-boosting shot of nutrients, you can't do much better than beetroot. Packed with magnesium, iron, and vitamin C, the vegetable has recently been hailed as a superfood due to its many reported health benefits. Not only is  beetroot great for skin, hair and cholesterol levels, but it can also help support liver detoxification, making it an ultimate detox food. To enjoy its benefits, try adding raw beetroot to salads or sipping on some beetroot juice.

Green tea: While it's not technically a food, no detox plan would be complete without regular consumption of essential liquids. Fluids are essential for keeping our organs healthy and helping to flush toxins from the body, and drinking green tea is a great way of boosting your intake. Green tea is not only a good weight-loss drink, but it is extremely high in antioxidants. Research has also suggested that drinking green tea can protect the liver from diseases including fatty liver disease.

Cabbage: Many celebs have resorted to the cabbage soup diet to help lose weight and get in shape quickly before a big event, however cabbage is not only good for weight loss - it is also an excellent detoxifying food. Like most cruciferous vegetables (including broccoli and sprouts), cabbage contains a chemical called sulforaphane, which helps the body fight against toxins. Cabbage also supplies the body with glutathione; an antioxidant that helps improve the detoxifying function of the liver.

Fresh fruit: Fresh fruits are high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre, and are also low in calories, making them an important part of a detox diet. If you're after brighter eyes and skin, shinier hair and improved digestion, try boosting your intake of fruit and eating from a wide variety of different kinds. The good news is fruit is easy to add to your diet, so try starting your day with a fresh fruit salad or smoothie and snacking on pieces of fruit throughout the day.

Brown rice: If you want to cleanse your system and boost your health, it is a good idea to cut down on processed foods. Instead, try supplementing your diet with healthier whole grains such as brown rice, which is rich in many key detoxifying nutrients including B vitamins, magnesium, manganese and phosphorous. Brown rice is also high in fibre, which is good for cleansing the colon, and rich in selenium, which can help to protect the liver as well as improving the complexion.

Watercress: Like most green herbs and vegetables, watercress is an excellent health-booster and detox food. Firstly, watercress leaves are packed with many vital detoxifying nutrients, including several B vitamins, zinc, potassium, vitamin E and vitamin C. Secondly, watercress has natural diuretic properties, which can help to flush toxins out the body. To reap the benefits of this nutritious food, try adding a handful of watercress to salads, soups and sandwiches.

PANADOL is Toxic

PANADOL  (Thanks to the lady who shared  this useful info.)

My  husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is  planning to set up a database of its patient.  And he knows some of  the doctor quite well.  The doctors used to tell him that whenever  they have a   headache, they are not willing to take PANADOL PARACETAMOL.  

In fact, they  will turn Herbal Medicine or find other  alternatives. This  is  because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver. According to  the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for at least 5 years. 

And   according to  the doctor, there used to be an incident where an air stewardess consumes  a lot of Panadol during her menstrual as she needs to stand all the time.   She's now in her early 30's, and she needs to wash her kidney  (DIALYSIS) every month.


As said by the  doctor that whenever we have a headache,  that's because   it is due to  the electron / Ion imbalance in the brain. As an alternative solution to  cope with this matter, they suggested that we buy 1 or 2  cans of isotonic drink ( eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking water  according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup   100plus, one  cup water or 2 cups water).My husband and I have tried this on several  occasions, and it seems to work well.

Another method  will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water  so that it  brings the blood pr e ssure down from your throbbing head.   

As  Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser would be  your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain).  We all will  fall ill as we age, for woman, we would need to go through childbirth.  

Imagine that we  had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol  (Pain Killer)  when you need to have a surgery or operation, you   will need a  much more amount of general.
If you have a very high intake of Panadol  throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps ) it is very likely that  normal general anesthetic will have no effects on you  as your body  is Pumped full with Panadol and your body is so used  to pain killer  that you would need a much stronger pain killer,  Morphine????

The thought is  scary enough to turn me t o Herbal Medicine or other healthier alternative.   Value your health, value your life, THINK TWICE before  you easily pop that familiar pill into your mouth again.   

Please  don't always take PANADOL and try send this to people you care about.

T.C.W. has been used intravenously to treat diarrhoea both in Sri Lanka and abroad by various researchers. 

As mentioned earlier, T.C.W. is best avoided in patients with hyperkalaemia such as renal failure, acute adrenal insufficiency and in patients with low urine output due to haemolysis following blood transfusions and in case of viper bite in whom serum potassium is usually very high.

Use of i.v. Tender Coconut Water in the treatment of Diarrhoea 

Prof. K. Rajasuriya and colleagues were the first to use i.v. T.C.W. to treat diarrhoea in Sri Lanka (CMJ, Vol. 2, 1954, 255-261) Prof. C.C. De Silva used intravenous T.C.W. in the treatment of infantile diarrhoea (Paediatric International Rome, 19, 1958, 225) Dr. (Mrs) N. P. Fernando used T.C.W. as i.v. rehydrating fluid in malnourished children with diarrhoea (J.C.H., Vol 4, 1955, 57-59). 

Tender coconut water has been used in other areas of the world where intravenous solutions cannot be obtained. Japanese have used T.C.W. intravenously in Sumatra in World War I. Pradera et al have used intravenous T.C.W. for paediatric patients in Havana, Cuba without any serious reactions (Am. J. Dis. Child, 64, 1942, 977). 

Dr. Ben Eisman at Barnes Hospital, St. Louis used fresh intravenous T.C.W. in 21 patients without evidence of any serious reactions (B. Eisman, A.M.A. Archives of Surgery, 68, 1954, 167). 

Composition of Fresh Tender Coconut Water 

Sugars in the form of glucose and fructose form an important constituent of T.C.W. The concentration of sugar steadily increases from 1.5% to about 5.5% in the early months of maturation and this slowly falls to about 2% at the stage of full maturity.  Sucrose which is a non-reducing sugar, appears in the late stages and this increases with maturity. So tender king coconut water and 'Wewara' water do not contain significant amounts of sucrose 90% of total sugar in mature coconut is sucrose and hence the different taste of mature coconut water. 

Minerals 

Tender coconut water contains most of the minerals such as potassium (290 mg%), Sodium (42 mg%), Calcium (44 mg%), magnesium (10 mg%), Phosphorus (9.2 mg%), iron (106 mg%), and copper (26 mg%) (Source: Satyavate Krishnankutty, 1987).  King Coconut  "Thambili", (King Coconut) short in stature and indigenous to that country and the nuts of which its inhabitants regard as "a living pharmacy." And so do sell and consume thousands of them on a daily basis.

A Sight of a king coconut palm in most of Sri Lankan home gardens is a common thing. And bunches of king coconuts can be seen many wayside kiosks throughout the country.  These nuts come in several varieties, the most commonly found being the 'Red Dwarf (kaha Thambili, more commonly called 'Gon Thambili'.) Other varieties are the 'Ran Thambili' a smaller and containing about 40 nuts a bunch. But it is the king coconut that is realy known as 'king of coconuts'. in the villages the more easily available, cheap and popular drink is that of the green coloured young coconut, the 'kurumba'.

The king coconut is also a hot favourite among visitors to Sri Lanka.  It's soft, spongy, tangy, nutritious and tasty kernel called the 'londha' . The kernel can also be eaten straight off the split nut by scooping it either with a piece shaved off from the nut shell which most villages do, or by scooping it with a spoon.

The sweetness of the king coconut water is said to vary among palms (the 'Gon Thambili' is less sweet) and is quantity in each fruit to be dependent on the correct timing of its harvesting which is best when the nut is between its seventh to eighth months of maturity.

It is a good source of carbohydrates, has a high dietary soluble fibre and appreciable amounts of protein, fat, Vitamin E, iron, calcium, and phosphorus. And apart from this, its pharmaceutical benefits are legion. And so king coconut water has been used in folk medicine from time immemorial - particularly as a

'brew' made by the addition of a proportionate quantity of powdered 'Aralu' (myrobalan) nuts to its water and used as a laxative. And that long before modern day medicines like blood purifiers and other chemical and herbal cures came into the picture.

King coconut water comes naturally sterile and is, therefore, a good substitute for life saving saline. It is said that during World 11, both the Americans and the Japanese military doctors found that in an emergency they could dip coconut water instead of sterile glucose solutions straight into a person's veins.

Lanka's ayurveda physicians talk of this 'Aralu brew' as having the properties for "expelling heat from the body" thus resulting in a feeling of freshness - a freshness which is due to the concoctions ability to balance the body's electrolytes. King coconut oil promotes hair growth and the 'ran thambili water' is used as an eye-clean wash.

Moreover, King coconut water is considered a good antidote to some of the powerful drugs that are now being administered to some patients.  scientists believe that king coconut water is far superior to injecterble potassium salts. 

Other countries like India, Fiji, Indonesia, Malaysia and the philippines have also put this product into good use by processing, sweetening, drying of dehydrating its tender kernal and popularising those products around the world. 

In Brazil, the coconut is used green to drink the water, that is purest, nutritional and complete drunk that the nature produces in the tropics. The human being needs it for conservation of its health. The water of green coconut is delicious, cooling, nutritional and therapeutical, and softens the skin,  reduces the cholesterol level combat verminose infantile, prevents and assists in the treatment of the artrite, controls pressão arterial, combat the dehydration restitutes the energy immediately, prevents vomits and nauseas during the pregnancy purify the blood are calmante natural reduce the fever deal with ílcera stomachal combat the arrest of womb prevent the nausea.
