HEALTH IS WEALTH

There are effective headache treatments available and ways to find quick relief. Headache Treatment: Medications Just about any over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever can offer relief for non-migraine headaches, also known as tension headaches, says Jack M. Rozental, MD, PhD, a migraine specialist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Medications that contain only one drug (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin) are an effective headache treatment, he says, as are those that include a combination of aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine. For those who suffer from frequent or recurring headache, doctors sometimes recommend prescription-strength doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Indomethacin, an NSAID that is available only by prescription, is "usually used for arthritis, but can also be very useful as a headache treatment," Dr. Rozental says. "Indomethacin's downside is that it is among

1. Limit Bed Rest Studies show that people with short-term low-back pain who rest feel more pain and have a harder time with daily tasks than those who stay active. “Patients should avoid more than three days of  bed rest,” says Mike Flippin, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in back and spine care at San Diego Medical Center. “I encourage my patients to get moving as quickly as possible.” 2. Keep Exercising Activity is often the best medicine for back pain. “Simple exercises like walking can be very helpful,” Wilmarth says. “It gets people out of a sitting posture and puts the body in a neutral, upright position.” But remember to move in moderation, Flippin says. “Stay away from strenuous activities like gardening and avoid whatever motion caused the pain in the first place.” 3. Maintain Good Posture The pain may have started after a long workout at the gym, but the strain that caused it has probably been building for years. Wilmarth says most people have poor postu

Originally indigenous to India,Jackfruit is a tropical fruit which is full of nutrients. Such are its health benefits that it has become a widely exported item. Typically the jackfruit needs a humid and hot climate to grow and cannot be grown in countries with colder temperatures. In appearance, it is thorny on the outside and fleshy on the inside. One jackfruit can have up to 150 seeds inside their flesh. Jackfruit Taste The fleshy part (the “bulb”) can be eaten as is, or cut up and cooked. When unripe (green), it is remarkably similar in texture to chicken, making jackfruit an excellent vegetarian substitute for meat. In fact, canned jackfruit (in brine) is sometimes referred to as “vegetable meat”. Jackfruit Nutrition The best part of the fruit is that even its seeds have been found to have a high nutritional value.Let's talk about the Nutrition Breakdown of the Jackfruit per 100gms of serving: Calories: 94 Fat: 0.3 mg Dietary fiber: 2 g Protein:

Eggs are one of the few foods that should be classified as "superfoods." They are loaded with nutrients, some of which are rare in the modern diet. Here are 10 health benefits of eggs that have been confirmed in human studies. 1. Incredibly Nutritious Eggs are among the most nutrition food on the planet. A whole egg contains all the nutrients required to turn a single cell into a baby chicken. A single large boiled egg contains . Vitamin A:  6% of the RDA Folate:  5% of the RDA Vitamin B5:  7% of the RDA Vitamin B12:  9% of the RDA Vitamin B2:  15% of the RDA Phosphorus:  9% of the RDA Selenium:  22% of the RDA Eggs also contain decent amounts of vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B6, calcium and zinc This comes with 77 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats. Eggs also contain various trace nutrients that are important for health. In fact, eggs are pretty much the perfect food. They contain a little bit of al

Here’s what they had to say. 1. Does eating red meat increase the risk of  cancer  and  heart disease ? A: For  heart disease , the answer is pretty clear. Some red meats are high in  saturated fat , which raises  blood   cholesterol . High levels of  LDL cholesterol  increase the risk of  heart disease . When it comes to  cancer , the answer is not so clear. Many researchers say it does raise the risk, especially for  colorectal cancer . A recent National Institutes of Health-AARP study of more than a half-million older Americans concluded that people who ate the most red meat and processed meat over a 10-year-period were likely to die sooner than those who ate smaller amounts. Those who ate about 4 ounces of red meat a day were more likely to die of cancer or  heart  disease than those who ate the least, about a half-ounce a day. Epidemiologists classified the increased risk as “modest” in the study. CONTINUE READING BELOW The meat industry con
