Spending Too Much Time In Front Of The Screen – It Can Be Dangerous For You

Sep 4, 2019

1338

Because of the easy availability of different mobile devices and Internet, more and more people are using such devices and using them for a longer duration. Technology has made our lives easier – but all of these come at a cost.

Recent findings

A survey conducted by Vizulize, eye care experts, found that 40% of 18-24 year-olds use their phone between 4-5 hours a day. This is a lot of time. The same study also found that 65% of 18-24 year-olds were worried about the effects on their eye health, whilst 77% of those between 18-24 were worried about the effects on their mental health from their phone usage. And they are right because there are so many negative impacts of too much screen time.

Whether itâ€™s Instagram, which is probably the most popular at among the 18-24 age brackets; or Facebook, Tiktok YouTube or any other app, young adults are spending more and more time glued to their mobile phone and tablets.

Such actions have negative consequences. Letâ€™s find out how to much screen time can result in both mental and physical negative consequences for anyone, especially those in the 18 to 24 age brackets.

Negative effects

Obesity

When youâ€™re using your phone more, youâ€™re likely to become sedentary and as a result of that, the probability of becoming obese will increase.

Behaviour problems

If youâ€™re using your computer, mobile phone or tablets more and more, youâ€™re likely to have emotional, social and attention problems. They may arise because of different reasons but such problems are often seen in children and adults spend more of their time glued to the screen.

Sleep problems

Too much screen time before bed can cause insomnia and other sleep problems. If you have tried that before bedtime, probably you already know how it can delay falling asleep and you may not be able to get the required amount of sleep necessary for normal functioning.

Educational problems

Academic testing found that children who spend more time in front of the TV, computer or mobile phone do poorly in school and college.

Damage to your brain

Grey matter atrophy, compromised white matter integrity, reduced cortical thickness and impaired cognitive functioning are some of the problems which can be caused by too much screen time. Such problems generally happen because children, young adults and adults who spend too much in front of the screen often suffer from sensory overload, lack of restorative sleep and a hyper-aroused nervous system. All of that can be called electronic screen syndrome and they can damage your brain and its functioning.

Eye problems

This is one of the major concerns of anyone worried about the negative impacts of too much of screen time. Spending too much time in front of the screen can damage your retina through phototoxicity and may result in other physical damages to your eyes. Some of them include eyestrain, tired eyes, irritation and dry eyes and there are long-term effects which may play plague you for a long time creating other health conditions. According to some ophthalmic scientists, the blue light, more screen time, eye strain and other related factors can increase the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration.

How to Overcome Alcohol Addiction

Sep 4, 2019

1533

Alcohol addiction is an issue which millions of people around the world are dealing with and for many this addiction can tear apart their lives. There are many stages of alcoholism and whilst many people enjoy a drink, it can be very easy to cross the line into dependency. Alcoholism isnâ€™t just used to describe those who drink from morning until night, many people who function well during the day have a dependency on alcohol which can start from a bottle of wine per night, and very quickly grow into something bigger. If you feel that you have an addiction, here is how to overcome it.

Honesty

The first step in overcoming any addiction is facing up to the fact that you have an issue, only then will you be able to reach out for the right support. It can be difficult for many to admit that they do have a problem, but doing so is the first step to your recovery.

Talking

It is important that you tell your family and friends that you have an addiction, this will be very difficult but it will encourage them to help you in overcoming your demons. Trying to quit on your own isnâ€™t possible if you have friends and family members offering you a night out or a drink, so make sure that everyone in your close network knows what is going on.

Pros and Cons

A simple pros and cons list for your drinking habits can really help you to learn why you drink and in doing so you can make a plan for how you will stop. Think about when you drink and how it makes you feel, do you drink more when you are in a certain mood or after a certain event? This list will help you drill down into the root of the issue and then help you to overcome them.

Set Goals

The road to recovery will be a bumpy one which is why it is important that you set yourself milestones. You could start gradually by cutting out alcohol between Monday and Friday, then start to limit the weekend consumption and gradually move towards a quit date. Following this you must celebrate success when you have had a period of time without drinking.

Replacing

Try to replace your drinking with other activities such as playing sports or attending classes or clubs on an evening. If you donâ€™t replace your drinking time with activities then you may slip back into drinking again.

Rehabilitation

Treatment for alcohol addiction has many components and if you feel that the problem is too big or you donâ€™t feel confident in your own ability to quit, you can reach for help at a rehab centre who can address each of these areas. Here you will find trained professionals who will help you to understand why you drink and they will help you to formulate a plan which will hep you to curb your habits.

Shut-Eye: The Myths That Are Dragging Us Down

Sep 4, 2019

1691

If you havenâ€™t read the news, or the scientific journals to be precise, sleep is a big talking point right now. It was once regarded as something that we just â€œhadâ€� to do in order to survive, and various high-profile anecdotes almost promoted the notion that you should stay out of bed whenever possible.

Of course, as time has progressed, so have opinions. A lack of sleep has been associated with a whole host of nasty conditions, while it also wreaks havoc with the way that you look as well. In relation to the latter, it can lead a lot of people to a facelift, for the simple reason that it can make your face look a lot older than you really are.

So, sleep has become a real minefield over the last few years. Itâ€™s also attracted plenty of misinformation and through todayâ€™s post, we will take a look at some of the key myths that have arisen which surround it.

Myth #1 â€ You donâ€™t need sleep

Well, this first myth has almost been covered. We have already spoken about all of the anecdotes that have historically done the rounds about famous individuals who survived on as little as five hours sleep per night.

Now is the time to banish such thoughts from your mind. While these individuals certainly did survive, it wasnâ€™t doing them any good. A lack of sleep has been associated with umpteen different long-term health problems â€ so quit believing this first myth before itâ€™s too late.

Myth #2 â€ Count sheep

OK, thereâ€™s more to this next myth than the subtitle might suggest. For people who are struggling to sleep, one suggestion has been to persevere in a bid to eventually get to the land of nod (and a lot of people supposedly count sheep to achieve this result).

As it turns out, this couldnâ€™t be further away from the truth. If you do follow this approach, you are much more likely to develop an association between your bed and insomnia. Ultimately, in the future, it can become even harder to fall asleep.

Instead, itâ€™s time to get up, do something, before reverting back to your pillow at a later time.

Myth #3 â€ Alcohol before bed makes you sleepy

Well, it does, but that doesnâ€™t mean to say that having alcohol before bed is a good idea. Sure, it might help you drop to sleep on the sofa, but thatâ€™s where its â€œbenefitsâ€� stop. From a longer-term approach, alcohol wreaks havoc with the quality of your sleep. It wonâ€™t give you sufficient amounts of REM and ultimately, the quality of your sleep has eroded. The result? Youâ€™ll be more tired than ever by the next morning.

Myth #4 â€ TV should not be used as a relaxing tool

By a similar token, your TV is also commonly used as a method to relax. However, the blue light side effects are there for all to see â€ these lights emitted from devices like TVs signal to the brain that it should be staying awake. Less melatonin is produced, and the result is that it can be more difficult to fall asleep.

Hand pipes have a certain novelty attached to them as they are considered a very classical way of smoking marijuana.

Moreover, there is a wide range of smoking pipes you can choose from. You will find many unique pipe designs out there to buy for novelty purposes or to gift a fellow smoker. Here is a list of the most special pipe designs in the market.

Sherlock Pipe

The first in my list, Sherlock pipe, is a classical glass pipe that is modeled after the pipe smoked by the legendary Sherlock Holmes himself. Sherlock pipes have a large bowl with an arched stem leading to a mouthpiece that allows a clean and smooth hit. The arched stem cools down the smoke and lessens the harsh hits standard with regular smoking pipes.

Corn Cob Pipe

Made from genuine pieces of corn, nothing beats the smooth smoking experience of a classic corn cob pipe. The corn keeps the flame soaring and allows the user to get some very potent hits.

Gandalf Pipe

For all you Lord of the Rings fans out there, a Gandalf pipe has an extra-long stem pipe modeled after the pipe Gandalf the Grey smoked. The stem glass of this pipe is very thin to replicate Gandalfâ€™s pipe so you must have some wisdom to handle them with care, or else YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Santa Feo Pipe

This wooden geared pipe is a cannabis equivalent to a puzzle piece, and after solving it you enter a world of euphoria and fairies. The uniqueness of this pipe is that it has three different chambers, a hallmark of craftsmanship, where all you have to do is turn and burn.

Glow Spoons

Glow spoons are an aesthetic piece of wonder and light in the dark for smokers who have their nightly cravings. With shining LED light on the spoons, you can choose from a lot of colors ranging from neon blue to white, all giving off a peculiar sensation.

The glow factor of these pipes will entertain you and your friends while having a smoke and they are one of the best weed pipes currently available.

Solopipe

It is an â€œall you need in one pipeâ€� kind of a thing. If you are one of those who forget where they have put their lighter, this oneâ€™s for you because letâ€™s be honest â€ no one lets their smoking pipe out of their sight.

It has a built-in lighter and an area to insert cannabis. All you need to do is fill up the cannabis, hit the button, and youâ€™re good to go.

Erectile Dysfunction in Men is a Common but Curable Condition

Aug 30, 2019

1382

Erectile dysfunction is a condition where a man is unable to attain or sustain an erection. Although much older men are more likely to experience erectile dysfunction, it is also common in younger men. More than 18 million men in the US have erectile dysfunction. Risk factors include drinking, smoking, stress, lack of exercise, and an unhealthy diet.

As much as the disease is treatable, many men feel ashamed or embarrassed to seek treatment. Some try home remedies such as consuming nuts and other foods. Coffee is also said to ward off erectile dysfunction. It is, however, important to seek medical attention. The Center for Reconstructive Urology offers treatment for erectile dysfunction. These treatment methods include surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Non-surgical procedures:

Oral medications and injections

Oral medications are the first mode of treatment a doctor will use. Drugs include Levitra, Cialis, and Viagra. These drugs work by increasing the effects of a natural chemical in your body, known as nitric oxide. The chemical relaxes penis muscles and helps you to attain an erection. The drugs, however, may not be used when someone is on a nitrate prescription. Doctors may also inject medication such as MUSE (Medicated Urethral System for Erection) into the penis to promote healthy blood flow and trigger an erection. MUSE may also be inserted into the tip of the urethra.

An erectile dysfunction pump

Also known as a vacuum pump or penis pump, it helps to achieve an erection by drawing blood into the penis through creating a vacuum. It consists of three separate parts. These are; a transparent plastic tube which the doctor will place over your penis, a battery-powered pump attached to the tube, and an elastic ring or band fitted at the base of an erect penis. The battery-powered pump slowly pumps the air out of your penis, which causes it to fill with blood. The band maintains the erection. Once you have placed the ring, you can remove the pump to have sexual intercourse. It is vital to choose an appropriate band size that will not cause injury.

Surgical procedures: Penile implants

If you are reactive to the non-surgical methods of treatment or they fail to work, you can opt for penile implants. Inserting penile implants in the inside of the penis and scrotum is a surgical process. There are various types of penile implants including malleable penile prosthesis; AMS penile prosthesis, Ambicor; and inflatable penile implant prosthesis 3-piece. Doctors consider several factors before deciding which method is best for you. These factors include your body type and shape, age, size of the penis, past surgeries, whether or not you are circumcised, and your overall health. Let us look at each of the surgical processes below.

The malleable or semi-grid rods

A doctor will insert two constantly rigid but flexible rods into your penis. They are usually set facing downwards, but you can change then to an upward position when you want to have sex. The rods make the penis permanently firm. If you want to have an erection, you will hold the penis in the desired direction and return it to the original position when you are done. They are, however, quite uncomfortable due to their rigid state.

The 3-piece inflatable pump

A doctor will place two cylinders in the penis, accompanied by an inflatable pump in the scrotum and a fluid-filled container in the abdomen; all of which are connected using a tube. When you squeeze the pump in the scrotum, the fluid goes out of the cylinder and creates an erection. When you release the pump, the fluid returns to the cylinder. The three-piece inflatable pump is very comfortable in a flaccid state compared to the malleable rods.

AMS 2-piece penile prosthesis, Ambicor

This method contains a two-piece inflatable cylinder in the penis shaft and a fluid-filled container and a pump, all inserted in the scrotum. That eliminates the separate reservoir. Just like the three-piece inflatable pump, you will inflate the implants when you desire an erection, and deflate them when you are finished. Most men find them easy to sue, and they are also comfortable than semi-rigid ones.

While erectile dysfunction is treatable, it is better to prevent it. You can prevent the medical condition by quitting smoking, eating healthy, exercising and maintaining a healthy weight, and also avoiding the use of illegal drugs.

4 Things Not to Do Before A Gynecological Visit

Aug 29, 2019

1912

Preparation

The first pelvic exam is an important step in any woman’s life and there are specific ways to prepare for it. However, there are also ways not to prepare for it. Experienced bluebonnet OB/GYN specialists insist that women should prioritize their reproductive health by ensuring that they keep to the recommended preparatory guidelines associated with gynecology. Here are several things that a woman should stay away from before going for their first pelvic exam.

Contraceptives

Prior to the appointment, it’s important that a woman preserves the natural state of the vaginal area, in order for the doctor to objectively assess the health condition. This will also allow the smear test results to be as accurate as possible. According to expert bluebonnet OB/GYN specialists, many supposedly harmless contraceptives and gels may have adverse effects on the reproductive area, such as redness and itching which may be mistaken for a disease. Additionally, some contraceptives have substances that might alter the chemical composition of the vaginal area and change the results of the test. It’s advisable to cease the use of these products at least 24 â€ 48 hours before the time of the exam.

Abstinence

A pelvic exam procedure may not sound like a valid excuse to postpone lovemaking, but it actually is. Sexual intercourse can actually affect the test results because the sperm’s pH is alkaline while the vaginal fluids are acidic. This will distort the results of the smear test, including the Pap smear leading to the wrong diagnosis. Using a condom is to be avoided because the friction can slightly traumatize the vaginal flora or cause inflammation, also causing misleading errors. Using lubricant is also not recommended. It’s best to refrain from any sexual activities 24 â€ 48 hours before the pelvic exam. However, if sex did take place, the doctor should be informed. This will help them adjust the tests appropriately and come up with the correct diagnosis.

Hygiene

It’s understandable to want to feel as confident and comfortable as possible before seeing an OB/GYN specialist but many women tend to be too scrupulous about their intimate hygiene. Excessive thoroughness may alter the vaginal flora and therefore the results of the pelvic exam and smear test. During the exam, the doctor pays attention to numerous details including the color, smell, nature and amount of vaginal discharge taking place, among other things. Too much interference may change the parameters of the reproductive area indicating some abnormality. This doesn’t mean that one should completely ignore personal hygiene. Just enough is fine. Before the appointment, wash the area with warm water, making sure to avoid antibacterial soap which may affect the vaginal pH and change the test results.

On period

In some cases, menstrual blood can make it difficult to examine the internal area of the reproductive organ. Many gynecologists believe that changes in the body that occur during menstruation affect the smear test results, especially due to cellular composition and changes in the vaginal pH. However, experienced OB/GYN specialists recommend women to go for the appointment if the menstrual flow is abnormal either because it has come too early or it’s a little too heavy. Seeing the doctor will help clarify the situation. This is also a good time to have an intrauterine device inserted (if one wishes) because the procedure will be less painful.

Dealing With Orthodontic Issues and Choosing An Orthodontist

Life Style

Aug 28, 2019

1157

Since your dental health in general and your smile in particular are probably close to the top of the list of things you care about, you should take your teeth and your orthodontic care extremely seriously. Whether youâ€™re dealing with orthodontic issues now or not, you should look for an orthodontist like this one : https://www.flavoieorthodontiste.com/ before your dental issues become very hard to manage. Your dentist will usually be the first health professional to detect some orthodontic or general issues that you may potentially have. More often than not, if thatâ€™s the case, they should be able to recommend an orthodontist that they know personally or professionally. You should also think about asking your friends and family members just in case they happen to know a good orthodontist. When youâ€™re looking for a good orthodontist, here are some of the things you should consider:

Start Your Research Online

And be particularly mindful about consumer reviews and recommendations. Start your research process online to get an idea of the number of dental health professionals in your area in the first place, and once youâ€™ve compiled a decent list of them, compare their websites and their customer reviews. All bad reviews shouldnâ€™t be taken at face value, but if thatâ€™s all there is, take the hint. The same logic applies to perfect reviews, by the way.

Ask your Acquaintances

Donâ€™t stop at your close friends and family members, ask around to make your network work for you. You are employed by a big company? Chances are that some of the people you see everyday at the office already know your next orthodontist! Ask them, you donâ€™t risk anything and you never know what could come out of that.

Pay Attention to Their Certifications and Expertise

Considering the high level of competence required to be a successful orthodontist, you should definitely take into account the level of expertise and knowledge of your future dental health professional. Beyond the formal education that they received at a dental school, most orthodontists must complete an extra 2 to 3 years of training to be fully ready for the job. You should also look into the certifications or extra qualifications that the dental health professional has. If you have a family history regarding certain orthodontic issues, you might want to make sure that the orthodontist you pick is proficient in treating your particular problems.

Go for a First Consultation

Whether you actually need orthodontic care or not, itâ€™s good practice to go for a first consultation in order to get to know better your future orthodontist and the staff. Ask all the questions that you may have here and there and see which type of treatment is ideal for you. If you donâ€™t like the general feeling of the clinic or the first impression given by the orthodontist, keep looking: your future dental health professional is still out there.

Get Specifics on Coverage and Cost

And you need to get that from the get-go. Orthodontics operations costs can add up rather quickly, so you need to get on top of this issue before it starts to become one. Your insurance may potentially cover a portion of the costs associated with your orthodontic treatment, but you also have to think about the cost of the specific procedure(s) you need to get done, or the payment options offered by your dental health professional. Whether your treatment involves traditional braces, Invisalign, or some other kind of dental appliances, you need to know precisely how much itâ€™s going to cost you down the road, and how much youâ€™ll get reimbursed for.

Explore Your Options

When youâ€™re looking for an orthodontist, you need to make sure that theyâ€™ll provide you with all the latest orthodontic treatments and technologies available. Discuss beforehand the benefits and drawbacks of the different treatment plans youâ€™re considering. Braces, for example, have considerably evolved in the last decade, and that alone gives you several orthodontic treatments to choose from. You might also want to look at the success rate of a given orthodontist for the specific procedure you want to get done.

You need an orthodontist sooner rather than later? Then get out there and apply these recommendations!

4 Amazing Changes That Happen To Your Body After Childbirth

Aug 27, 2019

1624

It’s not a brand-new piece of information; giving birth is quite a big deal.

For the purposes of today, we’re not referring to the process of raising a little person into the world, either. Instead, today’s post is about the changes which happen to your body as you go through pregnancy, and also after giving birth.

Suffice to say, they are pretty significant, and this has even led some women to consider a mommy makeover. However, to highlight just how much your body can change in this period, we have penned todayâ€™s article. Letâ€™s now take a look at four amazing changes that you need to look out for.

Your shoe size will change

If you thought todayâ€™s article was all about pointing out the obvious, youâ€™re set for a surprise. One of the main changes that most of us are aware of relate to the bump. As it turns out, there are umpteen other things that happen to your body, and your shoe size is one of these.

As we all know, we do carry extra weight during pregnancy. This extra weight causes our foot to flatten somewhat, meaning that it spans a greater area. Whatâ€™s the hard and fast result? Some women find that their shoe size can increase by as much as half a size.

The ever-changing breasts

Remember we mentioned the mommy makeover at the start of today’s article? Well, something else that a lot of new moms turn to is a breast augmentation.

Why might this be the case? Put simply, there are all sorts of changes that happen during pregnancy. During the initial period, as the body is preparing for breastfeeding, they get bigger. Then, once the breastfeeding period is over, these shrink back down to their “normal” size.

Your hair is also all over the place (but in a good way)

Most women simply crave thicker hair – and this is something that you will be given during pregnancy. Changes in hormones mean that you lose less hairs than you normally do – leading many to speculate that they have a thicker head of hair.

Of course, this isn’t permanent. Once you do give birth, your hair loss returns to normality. This can sometimes mean that more hair actually falls out initially, but over time things even themselves out and back to normal.

Your sex drive might diminish

Your other half might not like this final point but unfortunately, it’s a reality.

There are a couple of reasons why your sex drive tends to decease during this period of your life. The first relates to sheer tiredness; let’s not forget that this is likely to be incomparable to anything else you have experienced.

Then, there are the hormones. If you have chosen to breastfeed, your oestrogen levels will be reduced and as a result of this, your desire for sex will fall. Itâ€™s not a guaranteed side effect, but itâ€™s certainly worth being aware of.

5 Tips to Get Your Hair, Nails, and Skin Healthy

Aug 27, 2019

1256

Most women do not mind a little glamour and glow in their skin. This is best defined by the tone of your skin and the strands of your hair. Contrary to what people think, solutions to radiant skin, strong nails, and beautiful hair are not always found inside the bottle or at your beauticianâ€™s store. You can get them from just following a routine of simple healthy practices. The advantage of achieving beauty through healthy practices is the uniform elevation of your beauty overtime.

Hair, nails, and skin are made up of similar cells and proteins that belong in the same biological system any step you take to improve one will most likely improve all three. Consider the following healthy tips.

1. Know your diet and stick to it

Understanding the necessary nutrients for the development of your hair and skin is essential. Different foods offer different vitamins which are important for the natural growth and protection of your skin, hair, and nails.

Antioxidants â€ Foods rich in antioxidants are important because they help defend your body from unstable molecules and free radicals leaving your body smooth, healthy, and with a youthful appearance. Antioxidants are found in plant-based foods.
Fatty acids â€ Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for healthy skin and protection against several skin conditions. Biotin is also a natural remedy found in food that keeps your hair and nails strong and healthy.
Avoid inflammatory foods â€ Sometimes we consume food that triggers an allergic or inflammatory reaction to the skin. This inflammation further breaks out into rashes or hives on the skin.

2. Use supplements to boost your health

You should also consider the use of hair skin and nails supplements as a way to improve your beauty and appearance. They are used because they provide support to the other practices that lead to a healthy body. These supplements usually include biotin, collagen, and other vital components that may have anti-inflammatory properties for the protection of your skin.

3. Drink lots of water

Dehydration can have harmful effects on your skin including dry skin, itchiness, and may contribute to ageing as well. Always keep your body hydrated by consuming a lot of water or fluids in a day. The first sign of dehydration is dry skin and if this continues your skin might lose its elasticity.

4. Exposure to sunlight

Sunlight has vitamin D properties that are essentially helpful for the development of glowing skin and strong hair and nails. On the other hand, too much of it can damage or kill your skin cells leading to skin cancer, wrinkles, and ageing. Try to limit your exposure to sunlight or consider wearing sunscreen each time you step into the sun.

5. Avoid stress

Stress triggers several skin conditions including, eczema, acne, psoriasis, and rosacea. Stress also triggers inflammation which may lead to accelerated ageing. There are common practices you can do to avoid stress. They include mindfulness activities, yoga, meditation, music, and art amongst other common practices.

The stress also makes the face duller and creates a high chance of hair fall which can lower your self- confidence. To get rid of all these negatives, consider using hair skin and nails supplements and walk confidently.
