It’s all too easy to get caught up in the stresses and strains of daily living- your work, your family, bills – until you’ve forgotten what it feels like to truly enjoy your own company or feel something other than tiredness at the end of a long day.

But there are ways that you can change this for yourself – ways that will make those little moments shine more brightly and create bigger smiles in our lives overall.

Can Alcohol Permanently Damage Your Brain

Can Alcohol Permanently Damage Your Brain?

  • by

Alcohol can cause permanent damage to the brain and nervous system, according to a study by medical professionals from Harvard Medical School.

“A new study analyzed data from nearly 600,000 people who drank at least some alcohol, and monitored their health over time. They found that regardless of gender, higher alcohol consumption was associated with a higher rate of stroke, fatal aneurysms, heart failure, and death.“

Alcoholics are at an increased risk of developing irreversible, age-related cognitive dysfunction like memory loss. Heavy drinking and binge drinking can result in permanent damage to the brain and nervous system as well as increased susceptibility to developing conditions like stroke or heart disease.

The study also found that alcohol activates brain regions that are important for learning and memory, which means drinking too much alcohol can hinder your ability to learn new information. Drinking more than two drinks per day is not recommended because the negative effects may outweigh the benefits. However, drinking two to three glasses of wine or beer per week is considered to be safe.

Is Organic Juice Good For Diabetes?

Many people are under the misconception that all fruit juices are healthy. Sadly, this is not the case. In fact, fruit juice contains a large amount of sugar which raises blood sugar levels very quickly. Therefore, people with diabetes who want to avoid heart disease and other diabetes-related complications are usually best to avoid drinking fruit juice altogether.

This is also true for anyone who is looking to lose weight by following a low-sugar diet or simply wants to keep their overall blood sugar levels as stable as possible. The only fruit juice that you would be safe in drinking would be 100% pure extract from orange skin without any added sugars or ingredients such as water or pulp (unless you have sensitivities).

What Foods Can Cause Kidney Stones? Foods to Eat and Avoid

  • by

If you have ever experienced the sharp, intense pain of a kidney stone, then you know it is not something to take lightly. For millions of people around the world every year, this nightmare may become a reality any second.

What are kidney stones?

Kidney stones are tiny crystals or pieces of minerals that form within the kidneys during urination. These stones can form as early as one week after starting a new diet or lifestyle and sometimes they can become life threatening.

If you have ever woken up in the middle of the night from pain and had to throw up, then you know what it is like to be fully awake with kidney stones in your bladder. Fortunately, kidney stones usually do not cause death or major problems unless they get stuck in your ureters (the tubes that carry urine out of the kidneys) which can block how much fluid gets into your bladder and eventually cause you to lose massive amounts of urine.
