How To Cure Bad Breath ?


In 80 to 90 % of cases, it's due to something in the mouth. Most often, it's nothing more serious than a dirty mouth.

Plaque
, the nearly invisible film of bacteria that's constantly forming in your mouth, is often responsible for bad breath. Other dental culprits include cavities and gum disease.

Occasionally, bad breath is due to something in the lungs or gastrointestinal tract or to a systemic (bodywide) infection.

However, eating a garlicky meal is one of the most common causes.

The strong odors of foods such as garlic, onions and alcohol are carried through the bloodstream and exhaled by the lungs. Another big loser when it comes to bad breath is tobacco.

Electric cigarette


According to the World Health Orgnaisation (WHO) 20% of the worldwide population are smokers.
The legal environment in Europe is limiting the places where one can smoke in public.
More and more public places, like airports, railway stations, restaurants, and the workplace, have established or become no-smoking zones. Smokers often have to remain "outside".

Herpes Cure

One of the reasons that herpes infections are difficult to treat effectively is that the virus hides in the cells of the nervous system between outbreaks.

During these times, when the infection is latnet , the virus becomes effectively invisible to drugs and the immune system.

During active infections, some of the hidden virus "wakes up" to do its dirty work, but while any virus remains hidden it's impossible for treatment to lead to a full cure.

Laser Eye Surgery - Is it healthy ??


People need to wear glasses for different reasons. Some people are said to be short-sighted or myopic. This is due to the cornea being too steeply curved or the eye longer than normal.

Therefore, light rays fall in short of the retina - the area at the back of the eye that interprets the image - and results in blurred distance vision.

Other people are long-sighted or hyperopic because their cornea is too flat or the eye is too short. This means that the light rays focus too far beyond the retina.

Others have a condition where the cornea is oval shaped rather than spherical, called astigmatism. This produces two different focal points which can blur images at all distances.

Laser surgery to reshape the cornea can help to correct these problems.

Complications occur in less than 5% of cases, according to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.

Some people have a problem with dry eyes in the months after surgery and artificial tear supplements might be needed in the long term.

Many patients have experienced glare or halo effects when night driving, particularly just after treatment. This is more likely the higher the correction that has been made, but is rarely severe.

In rare cases, excessive thinning of the eye wall can cause the shape of the eye to be unstable after treatment. Severe loss of vision is very unusual, but some patients could require corneal surgery or hard contact lenses to restore vision, it said.

Eggs - healthy or not?

Eggs are in the news again. Is it good news this time or bad news?

Well--it's both.

Yet again, eggs are confusing us all by being nutritious, but associated with certain health risks.

According to recent studies, the news looks good if you're a woman trying to avoid breast cancer; not quite so good if you're a middle aged man who eats more than one a day.

I grew up with the idea that eggs were a healthy way to get protein for breakfast.

Then came the news they had Bad Cholesterol, and many health-conscious folks like me started to avoid them.

Then researchers figured out that the cholesterol in the eggs wasn't all that problematic, and eggs started to look like a great convenient choice again.

I probably eat about 7 eggs a week myself, the kind with a bit of an Omega-3 boost, and don't plan to stop.

Paraffin - Removing body hair


Here you cam find tips and techniques on how to give an at home removal and wax treatment for body hair removal...

Paraffin wax treatment is a luxurious spa service intended to moisturize and soften the skin.

This is often applied to the hands and feet as components of manicures and pedicures respectively.

Just as I thought that the wax used is same wax ingredient for candles or hair removal, paraffin wax is a variant that is more viscous and bonds to the skin.

Paraffin wax is softer compared to the above mentioned.

This wax contains paraffin oil. And since it is soft, it melts at a lower temperature.

Thus, the skin can be submerged without the fear of burning or blistering.

How to Prevent HPV


The only true method of protecting yourself against HPV is to abstain from all sexual activity.
This includes any sexual contact and is not limited to interourse.

Because abstinence is not realistic for most adults, other means of protection must be used to reduce the risk of developing HPV.

There is no cure for HPV, though the virus often goes away on its own without medical treatment.

Limit the amount of sexual partners you have in your lifetime.
The more sexual partners you have, the increased risk of contracting HPV.
Remember, HPV is very common and it is estimated that 80 percent of people will be infected with HPV at some time during their lives.
