There are many different kind of milk in the supermarket nowadays. If you don't know the nutrition of what you are drinking, it may really take you some time to decide what to buy. I am going to tell you which one is suitable for you so that you can save some time choosing milk, and spend more taking care of your body.
These three milk I am introducing are all far better than cow milk (even if it's only 2% or skimmed cow milk). I would highly recommend you to spend a few more pennies to buy some better milk rather than junk food.
More than 80% of the world population suffer from lower back ache (LBA). The major cause is mechanical such as poor body posture, unhealthy physical activities, stressful jobs and improper ergonomics, such as soft beds and carrying heavy loads.
Lower backache patients range from the very young to old people. Being a physiotherapist I have noticed in my work experience that patients only visit our clinic when their problems, including LBA, are at their worst.
Can you imagine life without sound, our main communication tool? We need to hear sound to learn and understand language. But sister Anuradha (aged 22 ) and brother Pankaj (aged 14 ) lost their hearing ability at birth leading to loss of any chance to learn speech.
At the local government school they attended they couldn’t progress to higher grades as they were unable to understand the classes and courses. They felt isolated at school and by the community who considered them as deaf, dumb and unintelligent. Finally their parents too accepted that they will never get their hearing back and admitted them to a special school where they learned Nepali sign language.
We all think that diabetes is triggered by being overweight and patients should cut back on dairy products. However, today I came to know that eating two slices of cheese a day can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 12%. If you do not like cheese, you can consume 55 grams of yoghurt a day instead.
There is a so-called ‘probiatic bacteria’ in cheese and yoghurt that can lower cholesterol and produce certain vitamins which prevent diabetes. In addition, dairy products contains high vitamin D, calcium and magnesium, which may help protect against the condition.
However 1moreinfo recommend you to have a balanced diet following the food guide pyramid. Eat lots of fruit and veggie instead of meat, drink more water instead of juice or surgery coffees and teas, eat whole grain food instead of plain white, and of course avoid oily deep fries and super overloaded cakes.
This is a home made version of the potato pancake so the amount of ingredient completely depends on the number of people. Also, feel free to add any veggie ingredients that you like for more colors and nutritions. We have added carrots to make extra crispiness and provide vitamin A, which is good for your eyes vision and can prevent Nyctalopia (Night Blindness).
This is a very healthy dish, we use baking method to reduce the usage of oil but feel free to use pan fry with vegetable oil if you don't have an oven at home. If possible, make it with your love one, it is so much fun playing and making healthy food at the same time.
What is stress?
The process of adjusting and dealing with disturbing circumstances that threatens person's physical and psychological functioning is call stress. When people get stressed that weakens the effectiveness of the body's immune system. They become vulnerable so the harmful cells in the body make them ill.
Stress relates between people and their environments. Circumstance and situation are stressors and the adjustment is the stress. Stressors can be both physical (environmental) and psychological (mental).
Stress reactions are three types; physical, psychological and behavioural.
Turmeric is a herb of ginger family used as a spice in Curry mostly in South East Asian countries. It is also known as yellow ginger which is used for cooking to give a color and flavour in the food. But now it is more than a color and flavour, it is a medicine for Bowel Cancer.
In 2009, a team at the Cork Cancer Research Centre showed it can destroy gullet cancer cells in the lab. Dr Sharon McKenna and her team found that curcumin started to kill cancer cells within 24 hours.
Curcumin, which is found in the spice turmeric, has been linked to a range of health benefits. Some of the hospitals are investigating giving curcumin alongside chemotherapy drugs to patients. However, if the cancer has spread to other organs, it is difficult to give a treatment.

One weekend, I went to temple near village where I work. On my way back from the temple down the stairs, I came across a young boy crawling up. He was using his bamboo stick for his support and trying his best to climb up to the temple. I could tell, it was very difficult for him to climb up but he continued.
Since I am a physiotherapist and I work in NGO, I and my team have been helping many disable villagers. I wondered if he knew about HDC (Hope Disability Centre) and our service so I stopped him for a quick chat.
I have mentioned in my last blog, I will write about my personal work experience. My goal is to reach out every one of you to spread the words that no child should be born disabled. Even if there are, we are here to support and we thank every one of you who have supported us.

AIDS is a disease of the human immune system caused by the HIV. HIV is transmitted mainly by sexual intercourse and blood transfusion. It can be transmitted in different types of bodily fluid.
Should doctors continue working after being diagnose of carrying AIDS? In fact it is very rare to transmit AIDS during doctoring when blades are not involved. The possibility of transmitting is as low as diabetes.
AIDS is not an incurable disease anymore, taking medicines can control it, and it does not make a big difference from everyone else. However there is still a number of doctors suicide when they found out that they have AIDS. Is it the education or the society that should deliver a more proper message, not to discriminate or exaggerate AIDS or any other disease? Everyone can be sick, but not everyone is contagious, nor did bad things in their pasts.
We should try to accept everyone and appreciate his or her contribution to the society rather than criticize. We should embrace everyone. We should let doctors do their job.
If our finger is cut, it will heal automatically, unless it gets infected by dirts and bacterias or if the wound is opened when using finger. Sometimes, it takes longer time to heal if our immune system is severly suppressed by how we eat and live.
What is toothache and why do you have pain? There are many reasons for tooth pain but above all tooth decay (Dental Caries) is the main reason. Tooth decay is the destruction of tooth structure. It can affect both the enamel(the outer coating of the tooth) and the dentin(the inner layer of the tooth) Tooth decay occurs when food containing carbohydrates( Sugar and starches) such as breads, cereals, milk, soda, fruits, cakes or candy are left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth digest these foods turning them into acids. The bacteria, acid, food debris and saliva combine to form plaque which clings to the teeth. The acid in the plaque dissolves the enamel surface of the teeth, creating holes in the teeth called caries.

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

We have always been told to brush our teeth after eating, however acidic food like fruits, soft drinks, wine or juice will soften your enamel.
If you brush your teeth right after consuming acidic food, you are actually damaging the soften enamel.
Solution:
1. Brush your teeth 30mins after having acidic food.
2. Rinse your mouth before you brush your teeth.
3. Chew sugar-free gum to produce more saliva to protect your teeth.
4. Have some cheese for your teeth to absorb some calcium.
