BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
Someone send me this brain damage lyrics, I thou it would be nice if I can post this in this blog
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

How to treat acne
Acne Cure Treatment
DRUGSTORES offer a mind-boggling array of products and treatments that range from the Power Pimple Peel to the Teminator 10 next to long-time standards like Clearasil and Stridex.
'The over-the-counter stuff isn't necessarily bad for mild acne,' Dr Jodi Ganz says. 'Look for topical cream products with salycic acid or benzoyl peroxide.'
But you might want to see a dermatologist if the over-the- counter products don't work after two months, Dr Ganz and Dr Leslie Lawley advise.
Be patient, both doctors say. Even with prescription medications, it can take six to 10 weeks before these drugs show any signs of working.
The following is a brief list of the types of medications usually prescribed by dermatologists for moderate to severe acne. Check with your doctor for details.
Retinoids, also known as Retin A
One of the gold standards in fighting acne, retinoids work well getting rid of blackheads and whiteheads, Dr Lawley says. Don't take any retinoid pill if you're pregnant, however, or want to become pregnant, since it has been linked to birth defects.
Combination of oral antibiotic and topical antibiotic creams
The oral antibiotic (pills) acts as an anti-bacterial to reduce infection while the topical antibiotic reduces inflammation.
Doctors commonly prescribe a member of the tetracycline antibiotic family for the oral dose. Doxycycline is one of the more common names, which is usually prescribed with a high-percentage benzoyl peroxide cream.
'But we do worry about antibiotic resistance,' Dr Ganz says. 'We try not to keep a patient on an antibiotic for too long.
'If someone needs an oral treatment, we start both on cream and oral antibiotic and decrease his reliance on oral and maintain the topical. In addition, researchers are looking at treating acne with more anti-inflammatory agents, as opposed to just antibiotics.'
Accutane
'If the patient has seen no results and has been on oral antibiotics, Accutane is an option but you cannot take it if you're pregnant,' Dr Lawley says, noting that it has been linked to birth defects in children born to women taking the drug.
It has also been associated with depression and suicide, according to US Food and Drug Administration reports.
Birth control pills
For women who aren't trying to get pregnant, low-dose birth control pills can be helpful in controlling hormones, which aggravate acne. They're another option if the antibiotics are not working, Dr Lawley says. But she doesn't prescribe them before ruling out risk factors such as age and whether the patient smokes. She also typically recommends an examination by a gynaecologist.
Corticosteroid injections
These are shots used to dissolve acne cysts that do not respond to other therapies and to treat scar tissue.
Microdermabrasion or dermabrasion
Also known as 'power peels', this method can reduce noticeable scarring and pock marks.
Photodynamic therapy
Also known as laser treatments. ALA (a 20 per cent solution of aminolevulenic acid) is painted on the skin and a laser light activates the solution, killing the main bacteria. Dr Ganz says: 'This is good for people who don't want to be on antibiotics or have problems with antibiotic resistance.'

Symptoms of Liver Failure
Liver Damage Symptoms
The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring , and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil.Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done)Foods also add to the burden of liver.Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."
Because :
Evening at 9 - 11 PM : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm - 1 am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3 am : detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 - 5 am :detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am :detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9 am :absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
