Air pollution is among the most critical health concerns that the modern world is facing today. Rapid industrial and scientific advancement in the last century has certainly made human life more comfortable. But it has also been the main cause behind air pollution. Wastes in the form of smoke from industrial power plants, automobiles and homes pollute the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels like coal, wood, diesel, kerosene, petrol etc in industries, power plants and houses also causes air pollution.

The various pollutants present in contaminated air and their ill effects are:

1. Carbon monoxide- Carbon monoxide is produced due to incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons and fuels. This gas combines with hemoglobin and reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. This leads to blurred vision, headache, unconsciousness and death in extreme cases. 

2. Hydrocarbons- The smoke emitted by automobiles contains a variety of hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are formed from unburned fuel. During rain, the hydrocarbons present in the air enter the surface water. These hydrocarbons form a oily film on the surface of water. Drinking of water containing toxins like hydrocarbons can lead to typhoid, hepatitis, jaundice, cholera, diarrhea, dysentery and various skin ailments like formation of wrinkles and pimples. Regular use of Lifecell cream can help in getting rid of pimples and wrinkles.   

Love Your Teeth..... They Are Your Smile!

 Hiya people and once again I'm really really sorry for not posting frequent enough because my precious lappy is not working these days. (thanks to my geniusness!) Anyways, funny I should mention about teeth and smile! I'm having a big toothache these days but not to worry because it's not because of a teeth problem. Anyways it made me realise how important our teeth are, at least to avoid the unbearable pain you'll get once you have a toothache, you should protect yours. Well, basically that's what I'm gonna tell my kids. "Brush your teeth twice a day or you'll suffer in future!"

However, I'm not going to keep writing about brushing your teeth but rather a more deeper aspect. Why on earth do we get these toothaches? What causes those pains? How to avoid a toothache? What are the simple remedies for a toothache? Likewise so keep reading people!

Once I got my toothache, all I could think is how the hell I'm gonna get out of this? So after trying some few remedies my mom told me ( which were okay first but the ache did not disappear fully) I searched the internet for home remedies. Believe me, it was not satisfactory at all. Bearing all that in my mind I tried few of them and few new things but nothing was permanent.

Your Weight, Your Health......

A problem we often see in most parts of the world is over weight or obesity. Where there are nations with no food at all for some regions even show some amount of obesity. But why? Why do people get fat? We eat, we work out but still obesity is a problem for you?

I've known people who are born fat. Some gain weight over time and then there are people no matter what they eat or how much they eat, they never get fat. Kinda jealous about them right? It's not only food that should be considered regarding getting fat or thin but other facts like, the amount of good fat you eat, the amount of exercise you do, your age, your sex, they all play a part.

First of all, let's see what's a healthy weight......

As you all know, the simplest way to determine your healthy weight is the BMI. BMI means Body Mass Index. BMI is determined by dividing your weight from the square of your height. When you measure your weight in kg, your height should be in meters or else if you measure your weight in pounds, height should be measured in inches. BMI does not measure your body fat but merely gives an idea about the fat in your body. Now the healthy range of the results of BMI lies between 18.5 to 24.9. That means you have proper weight for your height. 

Prevention Is Better Than Cure.......... Gastritis

It's a miracle if you have been able to live your life without a single illness or a disease but unfortunately or fortunately we cannot live so. I said unfortunately for the obvious reason that we all wish to be free of illnesses. I said fortunately because unless you loose something you don't realize how valuable it is and it holds very true for your health too. My mom always keeps telling me that no matter how well you eat or how many times you eat without skipping meals, that's not enough. I realized after a while she was telling me the truth because just because you do everything right doesn't mean that you are disease free. You just have to be careful of types of diseases you can get without any of your concern as well as illnesses that you get by over concern regarding your health. So as to say health is like a beam balance. You have to maintain it at the center giving a medium attention. We always worry and care more about aspects like our body shape and figure. So today we are going to discuss about an illness most of us familiar with because of over dieting and neglect. Gastritis.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure.......... Migraine

Howdy people!!! I hope you guys are doing fine. Well, today we are going to learn about Migraine. Ohh!!! One of the most irritating illnesses in this world. What is Migraine really??? Well Migraine is a common type of a headache. It further pushes into details like vomiting, nausea etc. Some have vision problems as result of this. So let's get to know it first then.

Migraine- Identify it

Migraine usually can appear in any stage of life but mostly it shows symptoms during ages of 10 to 45. Another thing you have to know is that this can be in family rather than the normal individual headache. Mostly women are prone to this than men. Migraine is not just another headache. It is due to abnormal brain activity. What you have to understand here is that this is not due to serious medical problems like brain tumor or cancer but simply the abnormal activity triggered by a certain causative agent.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure.......... Asthma

Asthma is a chronic disorder that causes the airways of the lungs to swell and narrow or simply inflammation. This results in wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. When this happens the amount of air that is taken into the lungs reduces.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure.......... Allergies

Today, we are starting a new series of entries to raise awareness among our readers about diseases and illnesses that affect our health directly and indirectly. In doing so we hope to help our readers regarding these diseases to prevent them from future damage. Health is very important.
