Let me start by introducing myself; my name is Variola. It is a latin name, so most people just call me Smallpox . I m not going to lie to you, I am a horrible friend. I tend to keep you all to myself during our time together. I am highly contagious and only like to hang around with humans, as other mammals scare me. I can attack you in 2 forms: Variola major and Variola minor. Variola major owns my more devilish qualities. In this form i tend to kill about 35 of those i get tied up with. Now, if me and you are to become friends, you should probably request that i give you my brighter side, Variola minor. This way, you only have a 1 chance of our friendship ending in death - to you. In the 20th century, I was responsible for up to 500 million fatalities. If, after my wrath, you survive, i make sure that i have left my mark. You ll be very lucky to forget about our little fling, as in most cases i leave you with scars known as potmarks . And i m merciless when it comes to that. i dont mind leaving them anywhere and everywhere on your body, including your face. If you are even luckier, I will simply leave you blind so that you do not have to look at your scarred body in the...

Maintaining good oral health seems to be something that more and more people aren t paying attention to. With vending machines around every corner and strong messages through advertising tempting us to eat the latest taste-bud sensation dentists are becoming increasingly worried that many of us are not eating properly balanced diets and are filling up with foods like crisps, fizzy soda s and sweetened fruit juices.

Let s start this article off right. You are not going on a diet . Our concept of a diet implies a temporary change that will work miracles - if we re only strong enough to stick to it. That way of thinking is encouraged by decades of fad diets that promised us quick, low-effort weight loss, if we just ate this one miracle food. I still remember the Cabbage diet, the No-Carb diet and the Banana diet, among others. Over and over throughout the last 40 years, diets that advocated eating by a strictly enforced menu have been proven ineffective, or worse, dangerous. Going on a diet also implies that you will eventually go off your diet - whether you fall off it, or return to normal eating . The secret to losing weight and keeping it off is to create a new eating plan that will BECOME your normal eating. And this is the place that most of the popular diets fail. Any diet that restricts your intake of ANY necessary nutrients too severely will ultimately fail you. In order to lose weight and maintain your weight loss indefinitely, you need to teach yourself to eat a balanced diet in portions that your body needs. Below is a list of common diet mistakes that will undermine your...

What causes arthritis. Arthritis is caused by a variety of factors including joint instability, age-related changes, altered biochemistry, hormonal factors, environmental factors, and psychological factors. Stress can also cause arthritis since stress disrupts the body s hormonal balance. Stress-induced cortisone deficiency can be a factor in some forms of arthritis. When body systems release adrenalin and cortisone, it weakens the immune system. As a result, bacteria and other detrimental organisms spread throughout the body. How is arthritis treated. Treatments for arthritis include rest and relaxation, exercise, proper diet, medication, and instruction about the proper use of joints and ways to conserve energy.
