Can drinking actually change your personality ?

April 25, 2018

 Can drinking actually change your personality?
Can drinking actually change your personality, Yes, but it might not be as straightforward as you think. Rachel Winograd, PhD, assistant research professor says that your personality involves how you present yourself to other people and the way you feel about yourself and the situation you're in. Dr. Winograd and a team of researchers published a study on the phenomenon of a "drunk personality," which found that people can change when they drink — but the change probably isn't as drastic as they believe. Rather, people think that they're more of a hot mess than they actually are.( .refinery29.)

George F. Koob, PhD, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), says that because alcohol dulls the sense of restraint, it might cause you to be more carefree than you normally are.Drinking of alcohol you lose inhibitory control over your reptile brain,and so for some people, that can be manifested in an extroverted and agreeable personality, and for others, it can result in anger and the 'bad drunk,' so to speak. He says, People who are happy, with a little bit of alcohol, are probably going to be a little bit more happy. But, people who are suppressing anger and resentment and have a chip on their shoulder, when they drink, that is going to be exposed and exaggerated. ( .refinery29.)

Too many drinks can also change the brain's chemistry well after the last cocktail. "Alcoholism affects the prefrontal cortex of the brain--the area responsible for impulse control, decision making, and judgment," says Manejwala. Brain-imaging studies of alcoholics have shown that the volume of that area is reduced, as is blood flow to the region. "When someone is getting sober, it can take six months or more for the brain to heal," he says. That may explain why someone in early sobriety can have difficulty making clear decisions. "The alcoholic may think, 'This is a bad idea for others, but I am different. I can handle it.'" ( harpersbazaar.com)

"We all know that when you start to drink, inhibitions go," says internist Nicholas A. Pace, a member of the medical-scientific committee of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. And as the level of alcohol increases, the effects increase. "Three or more drinks in an hour can lead you to do things you would never do otherwise and may not remember afterward."( harpersbazaar.com)

Now psychologists have found what many already know – that men need alcohol to have a good time in social situations. While women are perfectly capable of enjoying themselves and bonding with others sober, men need alcohol to get to the same point. A review led by the University of Pittsburgh found men are more likely to smile at each other and talk more loudly in conversation after a few drinks. This is because of masculine norms, which leave men embarrassed to show too much emotion. Alcohol, handily, causes changes to the brain which make them less inhibited and able to share their bromantic feelings.The research, published in the journal Behaviour Research and Therapy, concludes that men get more ‘social rewards’ from drinking alcohol than women. (dailymail.co.uk)

Asthma symptoms and possible prevention measures.

April 25, 2018


Asthma symptoms and possible prevention measures.
Asthma is a disease that affects the breathing passages of the lungs (bronchioles). Asthma is caused by chronic (ongoing, long-term) inflammation of these passages. This makes the breathing tubes, or airways, of the person with asthma highly sensitive to various "triggers." When the inflammation is "triggered" by any number of external and internal factors, the walls of the passages swell, and the openings fill with mucus. Muscles within the breathing passages contract (bronchospasm), causing even further narrowing of the airways. This narrowing makes it difficult for air to be breathed out (exhaled) from the lungs. This resistance to exhaling leads to the typical symptoms of an asthma attack.  ( emedicinehealth.)

Symptoms

Asthma symptoms vary from person to person. You may have infrequent asthma attacks, Asthma signs and symptoms include: Shortness of breath, Chest tightness or pain, Trouble sleeping caused by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing, A whistling or wheezing sound when exhaling (wheezing is a common sign of asthma in children),Coughing or wheezing attacks that are worsened by a respiratory virus, such as a cold or the flu.

For some people, asthma signs and symptoms flare up in certain situations, Exercise-induced asthma, which may be worse when the air is cold and dry. Occupational asthma, triggered by workplace irritants such as chemical fumes, gases or dust. Allergy-induced asthma, triggered by airborne substances, such as pollen, mold spores, cockroach waste or particles of skin and dried saliva shed by pets (pet dander)  (mayoclinic.org)

Persistent cough is a common sign of lung disease. Coughing is a major feature of asthma, especially in children. If your infant or child coughs to the point of vomiting, discuss the possibility of asthma with your doctor. There are reasons other than asthma for a long-term cough, like whooping cough and postnasal drip.  (asthma.ca)


Asthma symptoms often vary over time, due to different environmental triggers such as mould or pollen spores. Just like the leaves on a tree change, these triggers can be different throughout the four seasons of the year.At present it is spring, so all the tips are related to the spring season. Tips for summer, fall and winter are already on this site as well. (4seasonsofasthma.ca)


Seek medical help immediately for:

  • Fast breathing with chest retractions (skin sucks in between or around the chest plate and/or rib bones when inhaling)
  • Cyanosis (very pale or blue coloring in the face, lips, fingernails)
  • Rapid movement of nostrils
  • Ribs or stomach moving in and out deeply and rapidly
  • Expanded chest that does not deflate when you exhale
  • Infants with asthma who fail to respond to or recognize parents
  • (.aafa.org)

Asthma Treatment and Prevention

There is no cure for asthma. Control symptoms by taking asthma medicines and avoiding your triggers. With proper treatment and an asthma management plan, you can reduce your symptoms and enjoy a better quality of life. Talk to your healthcare provider about your asthma symptoms and be sure to discuss any changes in your asthma management or status. (.aafa.org)

How to reduce cholesterol level for health lifestyle?

How to reduce cholesterol level for health lifestyle?

A healthy cholesterol reading from a blood test is less than 200 mg/dL. 'While it used to be thought that eating cholesterol-rich foods would raise blood cholesterol levels. Eating foods that contain monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats can help prevent and manage high levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing 'good' HDL cholesterol levels. Drizzle some olive oil or sunflower oil on salads and veggies since both are good sources of monounsaturated (MSN)

Increasing the amount of calcium in your diet can increase HDL 'good' cholesterol and decrease total and LDL cholesterol concentrations. Add fruits and vegetables to every meal and snack, top salads with beans, and start your morning off with whole oats. (MSN) 

whey protein may have some of the same health benefits of dairy, When consumed whey protein as a supplement, it lowered both LDL and total cholesterol. Drinking too much alcohol can raise your cholesterol. Men should have no more than two alcoholic drinks per day, and women only one. Eat a 3.5-ounce serving of fish at least twice per week, preferably those higher in omega-3 fatty acids.(MSN)

Foods naturally rich in soluble fiber have proven particularly good at lowering cholesterol. Excellent sources include oats, oat bran, barley, peas, yams, sweet potatoes and other potatoes, as well as legumes or beans, such as pinto beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, and peas. Nuts and seeds have been proven to modestly lower LDL cholesterol levels. To avoid blood-pressure-raising salt, choose raw or dry-roasted, unsalted varieties. (www.pritikin.com/)

A daily intake of 1 to 2 grams of plant sterols has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Psyllium husks are seed grains sold as a soluble fiber supplement and laxative. (www.pritikin.com/)

Being overweight can raise your cholesterol levels. Losing weight, even just 5 or 10 pounds, can lower your total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Quit  over Smoking, because it   lowers your HDL cholesterol. Even exposure to second-hand smoke can affect your HDL level.  Exercise can raise HDL cholesterol levels. It can also reduce levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides (a type of fat in your blood). Try to work out for 30 minutes, 4 to 6 times a week. Make sure you talk to your doctor before starting an exercise plan. (familydoctor.org)

Regenerate  your liver with  natural remedies.

If your liver doesn’t work at its best, fat won’t be digested or removed as it should be. Even worse, your metabolism will get slower and toxins will stay in your body. We encourage you to try and include these 7 foods in your diet so that, little by little, you can start to regenerate your liver.

Eating a clove of garlic on an empty stomach is possibly the most classic remedy in natural medicine. To avoid bad breath, we recommend chewing a bit of fresh mint. if you want to optimise the function of your liver and lose weight, we recommend that each morning you eat a clove of garlic on an empty stomach.

Grapefruit is a fabulous fruit for a healthy liver. Its high vitamin C content and antioxidants help the natural cleansing functions of the liver.

Both tea and coffee are very rich in antioxidants such as catechins and polyphenols. These are fantastic for taking care of your liver.

Avocados are the food that we most recommend , contain a high level of omega 3 fatty acids, which is great for your heart. 

You’ll find buckwheat in natural food stores or in the specialized section of your local supermarket. With it, you can make bread, dessert,  buckwheat regulates the metabolism of fat thanks to inositol, a compound that acts as a liver protector to help process certain hormones.It also helps to purge toxins from drugs and glucose.

You can never leave out artichokes from your diet. After all, they’re not only good for your liver, but also your pancreas.Their natural enzymes act as regenerators, protectors and optimisers of all processes associated with the digestion of fats.

Turmeric is particularly good for the liver. It’s a good anti-inflammatory and a “golden” spice that, because of its colour, gives a big hint about its multiple properties and antioxidants.
