For decades, researchers have explored how humor helps patients relieve stress and heal.

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing is more effective in bringing your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.

What is best : using a deodorant or an antiperspirant?

de MedLady, September 22nd, 2008

Humans pay very much attention on how they look and how they smell. Nowadays people are not limiting themselves to just being clean. They use all kinds of hygiene products that make their skin smell divine and look fresh. But are they safe for us?

When it comes to daily products that we use we first think about deodorants. Deodorants are great if you are not much of a sweating person. This is due to the fact that they only cover up sweat with their lovely scent, but they don’t do anything against stopping it. Also, they neutralize the unpleasant smell of sweat as they contain antiseptic agents who are great for destroying the bacteria that develop within the sweat (the reason why transpiration smells bad is due to this bacteria that develop in time if you don not take a shower as soon as you start sweating). Deodorants are preferred by many people as they allow the body to sweat, which is a natural mechanism for cooling down the human organism.

Kidney Stones : Causes and prevention

de MedLady, August 28th, 2008

As you might have heard or even experienced, having kidney stones is very unpleasant and painful. This is why it is good to know why stones form inside the kidneys and what can be done in order to avoid this from happening.

Genetics play a part in determining this condition and so, some people are more likely to develop kidney stones in case some other family member has had them in the past. In people who are more susceptible to developing this affection, certain foods might lead to stone formation inside the kidneys. Inherited affections like cystinuria and hyperoxaluria are considered to be another cause of kidney stones. This is because of too many oxalates in the urine. These oxalates gather up in the kidney and form crystals that will end up forming stones. Also, people who suffer of certain metabolic affections like hyperparathyroidism or suffer of organic diseases like the cystic kidney might develop kidney stones as well.
