My Research on Pimples

Hello Friends, today I am writing on "pimples", the suffering which is very much familiar to me!!!

Pimple: According to me a pimple is a storehouse of oil and dirt, that gets trapped in the pores of skin and causes irritating due to the formation of a jelly-like white substance, called 'Pus'. A pimple is damn irritating, and the major problem associated with it is, the re-occuring of it again and again. And of course, when a single pimple appears once on the face, it gives rise to many within a few days. Lets see how to take care of facial pimple.

What I have experienced in the last two and a half year is that, pimples are like your dearest ones. If you take care of them, they will never leave you, and if you will ignore them, they will definitely leave you. There is no scientific reason behind this, its all about my experience. Let me explain it how.

When I got pimples for the first time, I just ignored them. I didn't apply any cream or other pimple products on it, and I remember that within a week, they left. Sounds strange!!! And when I got it again on my precious skin, that time, I showed great care towards it, and applied night creams before sleeping. This became my routine, and the pimples started increasing, as if my skin is a house where I am treating it as a guest, and a pimple is calling its relatives to get the pleasure of services...! LOL

Then I tried other techniques to get rid of pimples. And each new technique was like... leading me into the dark hole of misery. I started pinching off the pimples on my skin, and they became worsened, leaving dark spots on my skin. I have these dark spots till now, and I am living with its effects. Many times, I left using facial creams, then again started reusing them... I faced various ups and downs in taking decision for my skin, and each decision of mine was wrong, I suppose. And once, like a good student of biology, I used my lessons to find a remedy for my pimples, but of no use. I did research on Net about it, but failed to find the root cause.. I asked my relatives on this subject, but failed again! I tried almost every remedy, and the result was certain, not a bit interesting.

And today, when 2 and a half years have passed living with pimples, getting revealed and concealed time and again, I have understood one thing, and that is, pimples are the result of hormonal imbalances in our body during adoloscence, and nobody can get rid of its effects, by any possible remedy. Usually our remedies are by external sources, which has nothing to do with the internal functions of our body. What we can do at most is to consult a good physician who can guide us all about our skin, the type of pimples we get, what we can do as a remedy, and suggest us what sort of care is to be kept regarding the subject.

Have a happy day, and take care... of your skin!!!

Hi friends, its long time after I am posting to this blog. And today lets talk about dental care!

Wikipedia defines Dental Floss as: "Dental floss is made of either a bundle of thin nylon filaments or a plastic (Teflon or polyethylene) or a silk ribbon used to remove food and dental plaque from teeth". It is a best method to keep your teeth neat and clean. A research has found that flossing every 48 hours, help to hinder the growth of bacteria.


Brush before Flossing: If you brush your teeth before flossing, then it adds to a plus point in keeping your teeth healthy and germ free. Flossing is beneficial only if you use the thread in each and every corner of your teeth.

Benefits of black tea

Image source: www.topnews.net.nz
Most of us consume tea daily. But do you know that black tea is more powerful than tea containing milk? I read this in newspaper "Punjab Kesari" dated Friday, 23rd March, 2012. Here is the translation of the passage in English:

Specialists say that consumption of black tea for 3 or more than 3 times a day, helps in preventing heart problems. Daily consumption of black tea also prevents a person from type-2 diabetes. It has been proved from a review that, taking tea with or without milk, helps in reducing heart problems. With this, the level of bad cholesterol and blood sugar can be minimized in the body.

Experts say that the benefits of tea mostly comes from the flavonoids contained in it. Due to the presence of anti-oxidant items in tea, cardiovascular diseases can be avoided. Overall, due to the presence of flavonoids, swelling, blood-clotting are minimized, and there is an increase in the working capacity of blood vessels. Besides this, in an experiment of 12 weeks, about 87 volunteers found that the consumption of 3 cups of tea per day helps in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Nutritionist Dr. Carrie Ruxton, who is a member of T.A.P.(Tea Advisory Panel) says, "We get a lot of benefits from the anti-oxidant flavonoids contained in the black tee, especially in case of heart. However, it has been found from recent studies that flavonoids do their work only when we don't pour milk into it".

So, enjoy your healthy habit of consuming black tea! Happy reading :):):)

Facts about Ambulance!

Image source: http://www.tatamotors.com
  • An Ambulance is a commercial vehicle used to carry sick and injured people to hospital for treatment.
  • Modern-day ambulances are typically large automobiles on a van or light truck chassis with a maximum road weight up to 7.5 tonnes. (http://auto.indiamart.com/ambulance/)
  • They are categorized into various sub-categories such as Emergency ambulance, Patient Transport Ambulance, Response Unit and Charity Ambulance depending on their functional use: 
  1. Emergency ambulance – The most common type of ambulance, which provide care to patients with an acute illness or injury.
  2. Patient transport ambulance – A vehicle, which has the job of transporting patients to, from or between places of medical treatment, such as hospital or dialysis center, for non-urgent care. These can be vans, buses or other vehicles.
  3. Response unit – Also known as a fly-car, which is a vehicle which is used to reach an acutely ill patient quickly, and provide on scene care, but lacks the capacity to transport the patient from the scene.
  4. Charity ambulance – A special type of patient transport ambulance is provided by a charity for the purpose of taking sick children or adults on trips or vacations away from hospitals, hospices or care homes where they are in long term care. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambulance)
  •  An ambulance's helpline number is 108.
  • The name "AMBULANCE" written in front and back of the vehicle is laterally inverted like this:

It is done so that when the ambulance is on its job, then while traveling over road, other vehicles could leave its way by recognizing it as an ambulance, by reading the letters "AMBULANCE" in correct form through the rear-view mirror.

More health-related facts will be posted soon!

AIDS: Acquired Immuno Deficiency Sydrome

What is AIDS? 
 AIDS is the final stage of HIV disease (HIV: Human immunodeficiency virus), which causes severe damage to immune system. Common bacteria, yeast, parasites, and viruses that usually do not cause serious disease in people with healthy immune systems can cause fatal illnesses in people with AIDS. HIV virus is estimated to spread in people of age 25-44 years.

Transmssion
 80% of this virus spread through sexual contact; 18% spread by untidy blood transfusion to infected patients; and 2% of this virus spread through used and infected syringes, needles etc.A pregnant woman can transmit the virus to her fetus through their shared blood circulation, or a nursing mother can transmit it to her baby in her breast milk.

Symptoms
 People with AIDS have had their immune system damaged by HIV and are very susceptible to these opportunistic infections. Common symptoms are:
  • Chills
  • Fever
  • Sweats (particularly at night)
  • Swollen lymph glands
  • Weakness
  • Weight loss
Note: At first, infection with HIV may produce no symptoms. Some people, however, do experience flu-like symptoms with fever, rash, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes, usually 2 - 4 weeks after contracting the virus. Some people with HIV infection stay symptom-free for years between the time when they are exposed to the virus and when they develop AIDS.

AIDS: as viewed by society
 People often discriminate against people suffering from HIV-AIDS because they perceive that the AIDS-infected person must have sexual contact with someone and got the disease. But that is not always true! Victims of AIDS get the disease because of the several factors as mentioned above.

AIDS is not spread by
  • Casual contact such as hugging
  • Mosquitoes
  • Participation in sports
  • Touching items that were touched by a person infected with the virus
