Cosmetic procedures like botox, trichloroacetic acid peel, sclerotherapy, and radio frequency skin tightening promise younger looking skin but don't last long. They also might have side effects. New research has shown that fascia, which is the tissue that shapes skin, could be manipulated for firmer skin.

Jogging is a common exercise that most people around the world enjoy. In some people, jogging can cause them to develop a raspy voice or even experience constriction in the throat. Silent acid reflux can cause stomach acids to rupture the throat, especially if you jog after a heavy meal. Poor airflow through the nose can mean that you breathe more through the mouth, leading to a dry and sore throat. Exercise induced bronchoconstriction might also occur when you breathe heavily in cold air.

A burning chest pain along with a sour taste in the mouth points toward heartburn while chest pain accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating and dizziness suggests a heart attack.

While training is an important part of staying healthy, too much of it, like everything else, is bad for you. Straining yourself more than your body can handle is likely to increase stress levels, resulting in fatigue.

Remember to also engage your alactic system without the fear of bulking up.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a vital dietary requirement because they help in growth and development, improve brain function, and reduce inflammation. So, it is important that the deficiency is identified at the right time.

An acidic environment within your body, puts you at a greater risk of acid reflux, cancer, osteoporosis, and arthritis. The key to treating such health conditions is ensuring that our blood remains at a healthy, almost-neutral pH.

If you drink tea with meals, consider changing your ways. The antioxidative polyphenols in tea can block the absorption of iron and other nutrients. They can also denature digestive enzymes such as amylase, pepsin, and lipase. However, these enzymes are needed for proper absorption and digestion. The caffeine in some teas might also increase stomach acid, increasing the risk for heartburn. Go for herbal teas if this is a concern.
