As a young kid I always saw a vast difference between how my grandmom drank water versus how the following generations of my uncles and aunts drank water. For example, whenever my meal was served next to my grandmom, she suggested not to drink water but to sip it, and not all at once. She especially did not drink water half an hour before a meal, and she waited a minimum 15 minutes after a meal.

Signs And Symptoms Of High Blood Pressure

Did you know that around 1 out of every 3 adults in America has high blood pressure?Blood pressure is simply the pressure exerted by your blood as it pushes against the walls of your arteries. If you have high blood pressure or hypertension, this pressure is higher than it should be. Your blood pressure may vary during the day, depending on your activities. While a brief rise in blood pressure is normal, continuous high blood pressure can mean that you need medical attention.

But having hypertension doesn’t mean masturbation is off the cards either – as long as your BP is managed properly with medication or lifestyle changes

Your Penis Shrinkage...Temporary or Permanent????

Most urology practicers will vouch that not a day goes by without hearing these five words from a patient: “Doc, my penis is shrinking.” The truth of the matter is that the penis can shrivel due to a variety of circumstances, but most of the time, it is a mere illusion – a sleight of the penis if you will.

Weight gain and obesity cause an increasingly generous pubic fat pad, the male equivalent of the female mons pubis, which makes the penis appear shorter and retrusive. It is estimated that with every 35 lbs of weight gain, there is a 1-inch loss in apparent penile length. However, the length is usually intact, with the penis merely hiding behind the fat pad – the “turtle effect.” Lose the fat and presto…the penis reappears. Having a plus-sized figure is clearly not helpful when it comes to penile size and other issues....MEN GET IN HERE!

Natural Remedies To Reduce Melanin Production And Fix Uneven Skin

Your summer tan, freckles, brown spots, and hyperpigmentation disorders like melasma all have something in common – melanin. This pigment in your skin gives it color and protects it from the damaging effects of the sun’s rays by absorbing or deflecting them. The more melanin you have the darker your skin. So, when you go out in the sun, your skin starts producing more melanin and gets tanned.

Medications might not affect all children in the same way. It is important to work with a health care professional who has experience in treating children with ASD.

The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less.
