Head Ache




Headache







A headache is a symptom of an underlying disorder in the body and is not a disease in itself. There are several factors that contribute to the development of headaches and these include stress, dehydration, low blood sugar after missing meals, infections, high blood pressure, eye strain, brain aneurysms, brain tumors, sinusitis, head injury, and even premenstrual syndrome. Most causes of the headaches are self-limiting, that is, they subside by themselves after a while or on removal of the causative factor. Those that do not resolve in this manner require further investigation and medical intervention.

TYPES OF HEAD ACHE



Types There are mainly five types of headaches. These include vascular, muscular, cervicogenic, traction, and inflammatory.
Vascular headaches are also known as migraines, but include other headaches such as toxic and cluster headaches. The pain can appear on either or both sides and can be associated with disturbances in vision and nausea and vomiting. At times, the pain can be so intense as to be incapacitating and can result in an individual being prostrated for the duration of the headache.
Muscular headaches occur from tensing of the head and neck muscles and can be called tension headaches. These may appear to start in the temples but usually radiate to the neck and upper
back and shoulders.
Cervicogenic headaches occur due to a disorder in the bony skeleton of the neck and usually involve some amount of nerve root compression. These are also associated with restricted movement of the neck or the arms.
Traction headaches are caused by traction or pulling on the intracranial structures by abnormal structures such as masses.
Inflammatory headaches are caused due to infection and/or inflammation of the brain and surrounding structures. These are obviously symptoms of underlying disease and are cured by eliminating the underlying cause.


Diagnosing a headache
A headache that does not have any other associated component is usually harmless and does not require any further investigation. If the headache is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, altered vision, stiff neck, convulsions, loss of consciousness, pain in the ear, severe pain, vomiting, etc., immediate medical attention is required. Based on physical signs and other relevant history, additional investigations including either CT scan or MRI may be required to rule out serious causes for the symptom.

Treating a headache Headaches respond well to mild analgesia. Individuals with chronic or recurrent headaches that have not been identified as having any organic cause demonstrable on radiological imaging can resort to maintaining a record of their activities of the day the headache occurred. This will help in identifying a specific pattern, if present, and will go a long way toward treating and avoiding further headaches.

Preventing a headache


Some simple measures, gradually incorporated into routine lifestyle, can help prevent headaches or at least to reduce their frequency of recurrence. A few points that need attention include:
Avoidance of irritants.
Maintaining a regular routine with regard to meals and bedtime.
Healthy diet with emphasis on vitamins, proteins, and micronutrients.
Fluid intake over 2 liter per day.
Avoidance of caffeine or alcohol.
De-stressing oneself when one notices signs of stress.
Relaxing.
Getting adequate sleep.
Reading in good illumination and with appropriate posture.
Staying happy and in positive company.
A few therapies that are yet to be proven medically as being efficacious in treating chronic headaches are also known. These include massages, aromatherapy, acupuncture, etc., and need cautious indulgence.

Weight loss by eating food


Grapefruit

I'm not sure if it has magical fat-burning properties, but research suggests that this sweet 'n' sour citrus fruit can aid in weight loss. One Scripps Clinic study found that eating half of a grapefruit or drinking four ounces of grapefruit juice with meals (without making any other changes in eating habits) resulted in an average weight loss of more than three pounds in 12 weeks. Scientists speculate the weight loss happens because grapefruit lowers insulin levels, which curbs your urge to snack. And, of course, the less you snack, the easier it is to lose weight.

Tip: If grapefruit is a little too tart for you, try sprinkling some Splenda on top.

Green Tea


Green tea is one ambitious beverage. Not only does it help prevent cancer and heart disease, but numerous research studies have also found that drinking green tea, or taking green tea supplements, can also rev up your metabolism. Just how big of a difference can this fat-burning brew make? Some researchers claim if you drink five cups of green tea a day, you'll burn 70 to 80 extra calories. That's not bad, and definitely worth a shot!

Spicy Foods


Like it hot? Good news: Eating spicy foods can help you burn more fat. Hot foods make you sweat and raise your heart rate, which temporarily increases your metabolism. So grab some cayenne, your favorite bottle of hot sauce, hot chilies or red pepper flakes, and give your food ‑- and your metabolism ‑- a kick.

Low-Fat/Nonfat Dairy


In addition to building strong bones, calcium also inhibits the production of calcitriol, a hormone that tells cells to generate more fat. Woohoo! Several studies have concluded that incorporating low-fat or nonfat dairy products into your diet can help you lose more weight. My favorite forms of low-fat dairy are Dannon Light 'n' Fit Smoothies, Yoplait Light Yogurt and Dreyer's Grand Light Ice Cream.

Water


Skimp on water, and it'll be harder to lose weight. Dehydration slows down your metabolism, and it can also lead to sugar cravings and fatigue (which might make you less likely to exercise). Yikes! Some experts recommend guzzling eight cups of H2O a day. I have at least 10 to 12 glasses daily.

Cinnamon


Research shows that a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon, eaten with food, helps metabolize sugars more effectively and lower the body's blood sugar levels. This is helpful because high blood sugar levels and excess sugar in the blood can lead to fat storage. Cinnamon also brings out natural sweetness in food and, well, tastes good. So sprinkle away! My favorite way to use the stuff? Mixed with Splenda and some fat-free cottage cheese or on baked apples. Mmm!

HG Protein Tip..!


Protein is essential for building muscle. And the more muscle you have, the more fat you burn ‑- even when you're at rest. Protein also has the highest thermic effect of all the macronutrients (protein, carbs and fat). So, you burn more calories digesting protein than you do digesting carbs or fats. Your best protein-packed bets are turkey, egg whites, fish, tuna and skinless, boneless chicken breasts.

solution of puzzel 1

Solution:
9 * 9 + 9 + 9 + 9/9 = 100
99 + 99 / 99 = 100
(99 + 9/9) * 9 / 9 = 100
(99 + 9/9) + 9 - 9 = 100
(9 + 9/9) * (9 + 9/9) = 100
(999 - 99) / 9 = 100
99 / 9 * 9 + 9 / 9 = 100
(99 + 9/9) / (9 / 9) = 100
