Snacks are the food items that we munch on at odd times to keep the hunger pangs away until meal times. Can we indulge on snacks? Yes, as long as it is healthy. Over-indulgence on fried and sweet snacks causes weight gain. Eating healthy snacks on the other hand keeps us slim and helps in our quest for weight loss too.

Hypertension
How to manage hypertension
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is chronically elevated. With every heart beat, the heart pumps blood through the arteries to the rest of the body. Blood pressure is the force of blood that is pushing up against the walls of the blood vessels. If the pressure is too high, the heart has to work harder to pump, and this could lead to organ damage and several illnesses such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, aneurysm, or renal failure.

Defining Cancer
At its heart, cancer is the result of uncontrolled cell growth. Our
bodies are composed of trillions of cells, all working together. In
cancer, one of those cells stops paying attention to the normal signals
that tell cells to grow, stop growing or even to die. Cancer cells still
share many of the same needs and properties of normal cells but they
become independent of the controls that make our body function smoothly.
The process by which a normal cell changes into one that behaves so
abnornally can take a long time and is often triggered by outside
influences.(1)The next few sections
describe the differences between normal and cancer cells and outline the
steps leading to the creation of a cancer cell from a normal cell.
Cancer is actually a general term that describes a large group of related diseases.(1)Every case of cancer is unique, with its own set of genetic changes and growth properties. Some cancers grow quickly while others can take years to become dangerous to the patient. The many differences between cases of cancer, even of the same organ (i.e. different cases of breast cancer), is one of the main reasons that treatment is so difficult.

Nelson Madela Dies Aged 95
"Nelson Mandela has been, and will remain, an inspiration for many of us around the world involved in humanitarian work," said Kevin Jenkins, World Vision International president. "Mandela was probably the greatest leader of our age, a tireless, fearless advocate for the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our world, particularly children. He believed in justice and wasn't afraid to do what he thought it would take to achieve it.
"Mandela's death is, of course, most keenly felt in his home country, and we join with South Africans in sending our condolences to his family, and in mourning his loss.
"Many of the children we work with, and our staff, have life-changing stories to tell of meeting Madiba over the years. All talk of his great compassion, and his tireless commitment to seeking justice and change."
Jenkins recalled a statement by Mandela that said - All people are created in the image of God and are his children.'
"When his time came to lead his nation, he preached tolerance, respect and forgiveness. What he achieved for his nation took determination, hard work and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable opposition at times. He knew when to get his hands dirty and when to be diplomatic. He made the world better for countless millions of children. What better legacy is there than that?"
World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities worldwide to overcome poverty and injustice. World Vision has been working in South Africa since 1967. We currently work in six of the nine provinces in South Africa, reaching nearly one million people
Ways On How To Solve Back Pain
Back Pain |
1. Move More!
Raise your hand if you've been sitting at your computer for
hours leading up to reading this post. I think most of my readers can raise
their hand (I can, too, for today anyway). Our fascia (aka connective tissue)
is one of the most sensory dense systems in our body. It houses all kinds of
receptors that detect stretch, load, vibration and pressure, and pain. The
thing is, if there is no movement in the body, there is no signal communicated
to the brain and the soft tissues that is necessary for correct muscle
activation. Meaning: no movement, no signal, no change. If no change is
indicated, the body learns that the body's current position is where it should
stay, and will reset the new "normal" length of the tissues. When you
go to move after being sedentary for a long time, the sensors that detect
stretch, for instance, say, "Whoa! That's further than we're used to! Put
the brakes on and stop it before it's too much!" What this means to you is
limited, inefficient movement, and potentially pain.
