Content: If you do receive a positive result, additional tests may be needed to look further into the heart. The takeaway
While there are several tests to measure blood pressure changes brought on by a change in position, the tilt-table test may be a more appropriate method for diagnosing older adults, according to an article in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging
Trusted Source
. Prior to the test, a doctor will discuss how it may aid in your diagnosis and inform you of any potential risks. If your test was negative but you’re still having symptoms, talk to your doctor about other potential causes. They may review your medications or recommend other tests.

How to prevent type 2 diabetes in children
Content: In fact, type 2 diabetes was once called adult-onset diabetes. But what was once a disease mainly faced by adults is becoming more common in children. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body metabolizes sugar, also known as glucose. Between 2011 and 2012, about 23 percent of new diabetes diagnoses in children
Trusted Source
were type 2 diabetes. Until 2001, type 2 diabetes accounted for fewer than 3 percent of all newly diagnosed diabetes cases in adolescents. Studies from 2005 and 2007 show that type 2 now comprises 45 percent of those diabetes cases. Causes of type 2 diabetes in children
Being overweight is closely tied to the development of type 2 diabetes. Overweight children have an increased likelihood of insulin resistance. As the body struggles to regulate insulin, high blood sugar leads to a number of potentially serious health problems. Obesity in American children and adolescents has more than tripled since the 1970s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

What makes a blackout a “blackout?” A blackout is a temporary condition that affects your memory. It’s characterized by a sense of lost time. Blackouts occur when your body’s alcohol levels are high. Alcohol impairs your ability to form new memories while intoxicated. It doesn’t erase memories formed before intoxication. As you drink more alcohol and your blood alcohol level rises, the rate and length of memory loss will increase. The amount of memory loss varies from person to person. One study
Trusted Source
estimated that the odds of experiencing a blackout is about 50% when blood alcohol content reaches 0.22 percent.

Content: What causes a blackout? There are two types of blackouts: partial and complete. If you experience a partial blackout, visual or verbal cues may help you remember forgotten events. If you have a complete blackout, memory loss is permanent. Even with cues, you’re unlikely to remember what happened during this time. The nature of blackouts makes it difficult for researchers to examine the correlation between memory recall and blackout type. Blackouts are often associated with alcohol consumption. For many people, drinking too much alcohol too quickly, or on an empty stomach, can cause a blackout. A blackout can also be caused by:

For many people, drinking too much alcohol too quickly, or on an empty stomach, can cause a blackout. A blackout can also be caused by: epileptic seizures
fainting

psychogenic seizures
low blood sugar
certain medications
oxygen restriction
A 2006 study
Trusted Source
found that temporary memory loss caused by a fall in blood pressure (syncope) is a more likely cause of nonalcoholic-induced blackouts. What happens to the body during a blackout? Alcohol impairs your ability to walk, speak, react, and remember events. It also lowers inhibition, hinders impulse control, and affects decision-making. The reward pathway in the brain regulates these activities.

Content: He also stated that: “ The differences in observed effects of cannabis are then due to their terpenoid content.” Terpenoids are a substantial group of organic compounds found in plants. They can have a wide variety of effects in humans. Are the munchies real? The “munchies” are a scientifically supported effect of marijuana. There’s likely more than one mechanism behind them. THC affects brain areas that control appetite. It may also increase ghrelin, a hormone associated with hunger. Finally, THC enhances smell and taste, which can cause you to start or continue eating.

Content: Advocates suggest “die by suicide” as a better, more compassionate option. Keep reading to learn more about some of the complex factors that contribute to suicide. We’ll also offer guidance on how to help someone who might be considering suicide. Why do people consider suicide? If you’ve never thought about taking your own life, you may find it difficult to understand why someone would consider dying this way. Experts don’t even fully understand why some people do and others don’t, though a range of mental health issues and life circumstances can play a role. The following mental health concerns can all increase someone’s risk of having suicidal thoughts: depression
psychosis
substance use disorders
bipolar disorder
post-traumatic stress disorder
While not everyone experiencing mental health issues will attempt or even consider suicide, deep emotional pain often plays a significant part in suicidal behavior and risk of suicide. But other factors can also contribute to suicide, including: breakup or loss of a significant other
loss of a child or close friend
financial distress
persistent feelings of failure or shame
a serious medical condition or terminal illness
legal trouble, such as being convicted of a crime
adverse childhood experiences, like trauma, abuse, or bullying
discrimination, racism, or other challenges related to being an immigrant or minority
having a gender identity or sexual orientation that isn’t supported by family or friends
Facing more than one type of distress can sometimes increase suicide risk.

Experts agree that a number of warning signs can suggest a person might have suicide on their mind, but not everyone shows these signs. It’s also important to keep in mind that simply thinking about suicide doesn’t automatically lead to an attempt.

7 Impressive Health Benefits of Yogurt
Written by Brianna Elliott, RD on January 20, 2017
Yogurt has been consumed by humans for hundreds of years. It’s very nutritious, and eating it regularly may boost several aspects of your health. For example, yogurt has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, as well as aid in weight management. This article explores 7 science-supported health benefits of yogurt. What Is Yogurt and How Is It Made? Yogurt is a popular dairy product that’s made by the bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used to make yogurt are called “yogurt cultures,” which ferment lactose, the natural sugar found in milk. This process produces lactic acid, a substance that causes milk proteins to curdle, giving yogurt its unique flavor and texture. Yogurt can be made from all types of milk. Varieties made from skim milk are considered fat-free, whereas those made from whole milk are considered full-fat.

The Bottom Line
Content: Unfortunately, many yogurts have been pasteurized, which is a heat treatment that kills the beneficial bacteria they contain. To ensure your yogurt contains effective probiotics, look for one that contains live, active cultures, which should be listed on the label. Some types of probiotics found in yogurt, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, have been shown to lessen the uncomfortable symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is a common disorder that affects the colon ( 18
Trusted Source
, 19
Trusted Source
, 20
Trusted Source
, 21
Trusted Source
). One study had IBS patients regularly consume fermented milk or yogurt that contained Bifidobacteria. After only three weeks, they reported improvements in bloating and stool frequency — effects seen after six weeks, as well ( 21
Trusted Source
). Another study found that yogurt with Bifidobacteria improved digestive symptoms and health-related quality of life among women who did not have a diagnosed digestive condition ( 22
Trusted Source
). Furthermore, several studies have found that probiotics may protect against antibiotic-associated diarrhea, as well as constipation ( 23
Trusted Source
, 24
Trusted Source
, 25
Trusted Source
, 26
Trusted Source
, 27
Trusted Source
, 28 ). Summary: Some types of yogurt contain probiotics, which may boost digestive health by reducing the symptoms of common gastrointestinal disorders, such as bloating, diarrhea and constipation. 4.

Consuming yogurt — especially if it contains probiotics — on a regular basis may strengthen your immune system and reduce your likelihood of contracting an illness. Probiotics have been shown to reduce inflammation, which is linked to several health conditions ranging from viral infections to gut disorders ( 29
Trusted Source
, 30
Trusted Source
, 31
Trusted Source
, 32
Trusted Source
). Research shows that in some instances, probiotics may also help reduce the incidence, duration and severity of the common cold ( 33
Trusted Source
, 34
Trusted Source
, 35
Trusted Source
, 36
Trusted Source
, 37
Trusted Source
). Moreover, the immune-enhancing properties of yogurt are partly due to its magnesium, selenium and zinc, which are trace minerals known for the role they play in immune system health ( 38
Trusted Source
, 39
Trusted Source
, 40
Trusted Source
). Vitamin D-fortified yogurts may boost immune health even further.

Content: Nevertheless, fat-free and low-fat varieties of yogurt are still popular in the US ( 51

Trusted Source
, 53
Trusted Source
). There is no clear evidence that the fat in yogurt is harmful to your health. In fact, it may benefit heart health ( 54
Trusted Source
, 55
Trusted Source
). Some research shows that the intake of saturated fat from whole-milk products increases “good” HDL cholesterol, which may protect heart health. Other studies have found yogurt intake to reduce the overall incidence of heart disease ( 55
Trusted Source
, 56
Trusted Source
, 57
Trusted Source
). Furthermore, dairy products like yogurt have been shown to help reduce high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease. The effects seem to be most prominent in those already diagnosed with high blood pressure ( 58
Trusted Source
, 59
Trusted Source
, 60
Trusted Source
). Summary: Regardless of its fat content, yogurt appears to benefit heart health by increasing “good” HDL cholesterol and reducing blood pressure. 7.

7 Surprising Health Benefits of Eating Seaweed
1. Contains Iodine and Tyrosine, Which Support Thyroid Function
2. Good Source of Vitamins and Minerals
3. Contains a Variety of Protective Antioxidants
4. Provides Fiber and Polysaccharides That Can Support Your Gut Health
5. May Help You Lose Weight by Delaying Hunger and Reducing Weight
6. May Reduce Heart Disease Risk
7. May Help Reduce Your Risk of Type 2 Diabetes by Improving Blood Sugar Control
Possible Dangers of Seaweed
Excess Iodine
Heavy Metal Load
The Bottom Line
Content: 21% of the RDI
Seaweed also contains small amounts of vitamins A, C, E and K, along with folate, zinc, sodium, calcium and magnesium ( 10 ). While it may only contribute to a small percentage of some of the RDIs above, using it as a seasoning once or twice per week can be an easy way to add more nutrients to your diet. The protein present in some seaweeds, such as spirulina and chlorella, contain all of the essential amino acids. This means seaweed can help ensure you get the full range of amino acids ( 10, 11, 12 ). Seaweed can also be a good source of omega-3 fats and vitamin B12 ( 10, 13
Trusted Source
, 14
Trusted Source
). In fact, it appears that dried green and purple seaweed contain substantial amounts of vitamin B12. One study found 2.4 mcg or 100% of the RDI of vitamin B12 in only 4 grams of nori seaweed ( 14
Trusted Source
, 15
Trusted Source
). That said, there is an ongoing debate about whether your body can absorb and use the vitamin B12 from seaweed ( 16
Trusted Source
, 17
Trusted Source
, 18
Trusted Source
). Summary
Seaweed contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals, including iodine, iron, and calcium. Some types can even contain high amounts of vitamin B12.

The bottom line
Content: Ascorbic acid supplements have a bioavailability similar to that of the ascorbic acid found in foods like fruits and vegetables ( 6
Trusted Source
). You can take vitamin C supplements at any time of day, with or without food, although taking ascorbic acid with foods can help decrease the potential gastrointestinal side effects caused by its high acidity ( 7
Trusted Source
). Make sure to store vitamin C supplements in a cool, dark place, as this nutrient is sensitive to heat and light. Also, keep in mind that because excess vitamin C is excreted, doses over 1,000 mg typically aren’t needed — except under specific circumstances, such as during high-dose intravenous (IV) vitamin C treatment ( 8
Trusted Source
, 9
Trusted Source
, 10
Trusted Source
, 11
Trusted Source
). B vitamins
B vitamins are sold individually or as B complex supplements that contain all eight B vitamins. Because they’re water-soluble, you can take them with or without food and at any time of the day. That said, it’s often recommended to take B vitamins in the morning due to their important role in nutrient metabolism and energy production. What’s more, some people may benefit from taking B vitamins on an empty stomach. For example, it’s recommended that people with a B12 deficiency take B12 supplements on an empty stomach with water to promote maximal absorption ( 12 ). Summary
Water-soluble vitamins are not readily stored in your body, so you must consume them regularly to maintain healthy levels.

B9 (folate)
B12 (cobalamin)
Though each B vitamin has unique functions, many of them are involved in the same bodily processes, such as metabolism and acting as cofactors for enzymatic reactions ( 1

Benefits
May increase muscle size and strength
May fight muscle loss in older adults

Safety and concerns
Is creatine bad for your kidneys?
May cause bloating
How to take it
The bottom line
Content: Creatine is most effective for high-intensity and repetitive sports and activities, such as bodybuilding, combat sports, powerlifting, track and field events, soccer, football, hockey, and track or swim sprints ( 4
Trusted Source
, 5
Trusted Source
). May fight muscle loss in older adults
Creatine may help slow sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle strength and function that often occurs naturally with aging. The condition is estimated to affect 5–13% of community-dwelling adults age 60 years and older. It has been linked to physical disability, poor quality of life, and an increased risk of death ( 6
Trusted Source
, 7
Trusted Source
, 8
Trusted Source
). Several studies in older adults have found that taking this supplement in combination with weight lifting may benefit muscle health ( 9
Trusted Source
, 10
Trusted Source
, 11
Trusted Source
). A review of studies found that taking creatine supplements helped older adults build more muscle mass ( 12
Trusted Source
). In the review, participants took creatine supplements and resistance-trained 2–3 times per week for 7–52 weeks. As a result, they gained 3 pounds (1.4 kg) more lean muscle mass than those who only weight trained ( 12
Trusted Source
). Another review in aging adults found similar results, observing that taking creatine may help boost the effects of resistance training, compared with doing resistance training alone ( 13
Trusted Source
). May improve brain function
Taking a creatine supplement has been shown to increase levels of creatine in the brain by 5–15%, which may improve brain functioning.

Title: Fish Oil for Bodybuilding: What Are the Benefits?

Nutrition
Should You Take Fish Oil for Bodybuilding?
What is fish oil?
Potential benefits for bodybuilding
May reduce muscle soreness
May improve workout quality
May aid muscle health as you age
Should you supplement with it?
The bottom line
Content: Taking the same amount of fish oil daily lessened the temporary loss of muscle strength and range of motion after exercise ( 9
Trusted Source
). What’s more, a 6-week study in 20 resistance-trained men following a low-calorie diet for weight loss showed that supplementing daily with 4,000 mg of fish oil (containing 2,000 mg of both EPA and DHA) maintained or even increased lower-body muscle strength ( 12
Trusted Source
). As such, fish oil may help maintain muscle strength alongside dieting, which is a regular component of bodybuilders’ training. Nonetheless, additional research on fish oil’s effects on muscle size and strength is necessary ( 13
Trusted Source
, 14
Trusted Source
). May aid muscle health as you age
Aging is associated with the progressive loss of muscle mass. After age 30, muscle mass declines by 0.1–0.5% per year — with a dramatic increase in loss after age 65 ( 15
Trusted Source
). As you age, it becomes more difficult to maintain and build muscle, partly due to a decreased response to both resistance training and protein intake ( 16
Trusted Source
). Interestingly, the anti-inflammatory properties of fish oil may enhance your muscles’ sensitivity to protein and resistance training, allowing for greater gains in muscle size and strength as you age ( 17
Trusted Source
). For example, a 16-week study showed that supplementing daily with 4,200 mg of omega-3s (containing 2,700 mg of EPA and 1,200 mg of EPA) significantly increased muscle growth after exercise in older adults, compared with younger adults ( 18
Trusted Source
). Other studies likewise demonstrate that fish oil may boost or maintain muscle mass in older adults — particularly when combined with resistance training ( 19
Trusted Source
, 20
Trusted Source
, 21
Trusted Source
).

Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, fish oil may prevent or reduce muscle soreness, inhibit the temporary loss of strength and range of motion after exercise, and improve muscle sensitivity in older adults. Still, more studies are necessary. Should you supplement with it? Fish oil seems to be most effective for reducing DOMS, which is a common occurrence for many bodybuilders.

Content: Potential benefits
Due to its nutrient content, heart of palm may offer several health benefits. High in antioxidants
Heart of palm is rich in plant compounds like polyphenol antioxidants. These compounds neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can trigger oxidative damage when levels become too high in your body. Oxidative damage is linked to numerous diseases ( 2
Trusted Source
). In turn, antioxidants may reduce your risk of certain conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease ( 2
Trusted Source
, 3
Trusted Source
). Diets high in polyphenols are also associated with reduced inflammation, which is thought to be a key factor in many of these ailments ( 4
Trusted Source
, 5
Trusted Source
, 6
Trusted Source
). Loaded with essential minerals
Heart of palm is a plentiful source of several minerals, including potassium, copper, phosphorus, and zinc. Potassium serves as an electrolyte and helps regulate blood pressure. Increased intake is linked to lower blood pressure in healthy individuals ( 7 ). Alongside iron, copper aids in the formation of red blood cells.

How to maximize the health benefits of sushi
The bottom line
Content: As its flavor is very strong, it’s only eaten in small amounts. It is made from the grated stem of Eutrema japonicum, which belongs to the same family as cabbage, horseradish, and mustard. Wasabi is rich in beta carotene, glucosinolates, and isothiocyanates. Research shows that these compounds may have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties ( 11
Trusted Source
, 12
Trusted Source
, 13, 14
Trusted Source
). However, due to the wasabi plant’s scarcity, many restaurants use an imitation paste made from a combination of horseradish, mustard powder, and green dye. This product is unlikely to have the same nutritional properties. Seaweed
Nori is a type of seaweed used to roll sushi. It contains many nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, iodine, thiamine, and vitamins A, C, and E ( 15 ). What’s more, 44% of its dry weight is protein, which is comparable to high-protein plant foods like soybeans ( 16, 17 ). However, one roll of sushi provides very little seaweed, which makes it unlikely to contribute much to your daily nutrient needs.

Bottom line
More than 200 types of magnolia trees exist worldwide. One type — Magnolia officinalis — is commonly called the houpo magnolia, or sometimes simply “magnolia bark.” The houpo magnolia tree is native to China, where it has been used for thousands of years as a supplement in traditional Chinese medicine. Though the use of magnolia bark is common in traditional Chinese medicine, you may wonder what current research says about the tree bark. This article reviews the science-supported benefits and side effects of magnolia bark. Share on Pinterest
Typically, magnolia bark is bark of the houpo magnolia tree that has been stripped away from it branches and stems to make supplements. The leaves and flowers from the tree are sometimes used as well. The bark is particularly rich in two neolignans that are believed to be responsible for its medicinal properties — magnolol and honokiol ( 1

Does magnolia bark have side effects?
The bottom line
Content: Oxidative stress also appears to play a significant role in many changes in the body and mind that accompany aging ( 11
Trusted Source
). Polyphenols, such as those found in magnolia bark, have been suggested as a potential therapy to combat the side effects of oxidative stress and inflammation ( 12
Trusted Source
). Based on research in mice, some scientists believe that honokiol may help combat aging by increasing antioxidant enzymes and decreasing levels of methane dicarboxylic aldehyde ( 13
Trusted Source
). In research, changes in levels of methane dicarboxylic aldehyde are often interpreted as a sign of antioxidant activity. Research on honokiol has found that it can reduce inflammation in the brain and spinal cord specifically, partly due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier ( 14
Trusted Source
). This suggests that it has potential as a therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Moreover, oxidative stress is widely believed to contribute to diabetes and its related complications. In a 2016 review, magnolia bark was found to improve high blood sugar levels and diabetic complications in animals ( 15
Trusted Source
). Nevertheless, additional research in humans is needed. May have anticancer properties
Various studies on honokiol support the use of this polyphenol in magnolia bark as a therapy for cancer treatment and prevention.

Does magnolia bark have side effects?
The bottom line
Content: One way in which honokiol may combat cancer is by helping regulate cell signaling pathways. Given that cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal cell division and growth, the ability to regulate cellular pathways is beneficial ( 16
Trusted Source
). A 2019 review study found that honokiol has shown potential to prevent tumor growth in the brain, breast, colon, liver, and skin, among other organs ( 17
Trusted Source
). Furthermore, honokiol may not only have anticancer properties itself but also help increase the effectiveness of other anticancer and radiation drug therapies ( 18
Trusted Source
, 19
Trusted Source
). Though more rigorous human studies are needed, the polyphenol shows promise as an anticancer therapy in humans ( 20
Trusted Source
). What’s more, magnolol likewise appears to have anticancer properties. Similar to honokiol, studies in animals have shown that magnolol may help control and suppress tumor growth in various organs. Additionally, a test-tube study found that magnolol inhibited the growth of lung cancer cells ( 21
Trusted Source
, 22
Trusted Source
). Yet again, clinical studies in humans need to be conducted. May relieve stress and anxiety
As mentioned, magnolia bark extract appears to have protective effects against many neurological conditions.

). A study in 40 women ages 20–50 found that taking 250 mg of magnolia and phellodendron bark extract 3 times a day resulted in greater relief of short-term and temporary anxiety than taking a placebo ( 24
Trusted Source
). A second study of the same magnolia and phellodendron bark extract in 56 adults observed that consuming 500 mg of the extract per day resulted in significantly lower cortisol levels and improved mood ( 25

The polyphenols in magnolia bark — honokiol and magnolol — have been found to help induce and improve sleep. Therefore, magnolia bark could be used as a remedy for insomnia or simply to promote better sleep overall. A study in mice found a magnolol dose of 2.3–0.9 mg per pound (5–25 mg per kg) of body weight significantly decreased sleep latency, or the amount of time it takes to fall asleep ( 27
Trusted Source
). The same study observed that the same dose increased REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM sleep. Additionally, the magnolol appeared to increase the number of times the mice woke up during sleep but decrease the length of time they were awake. A second study in mice observed similar outcomes after administering honokiol, which also decreased the amount of time it took the mice to fall asleep and transition into non-REM sleep ( 28
Trusted Source
).

A second study in mice observed similar outcomes after administering honokiol, which also decreased the amount of time it took the mice to fall asleep and transition into non-REM sleep ( 28
Trusted Source
). Magnolia bark’s effects on sleep appear to be closely connected to the activity of the GABA (A) receptors in the central nervous system. This makes sense, as it’s known that GABA (A) receptor activity is closely associated with sleep ( 29
Trusted Source
). May improve symptoms of menopause
Some of the benefits of magnolia bark, such as improved sleep and mood, could be especially beneficial for women during menopause ( 30
Trusted Source
). A 24-week study in 89 menopausal women experiencing symptoms of sleep and mood alterations were given a supplement containing 60 mg of magnolia bark extract and 50 mg of magnesium daily. The women experienced significant improvements in insomnia, anxiety, mood, and irritability ( 31

Magnolia Bark: Benefits, Usage, and Side Effects
Potential benefits
May protect against the effects of oxidative stress and inflammation
May have anticancer properties
May relieve stress and anxiety
May improve sleep
May improve symptoms of menopause
How to take magnolia bark
Does magnolia bark have side effects?
The bottom line
Content: Magnolia bark’s effects on sleep appear to be closely connected to the activity of the GABA (A) receptors in the central nervous system. This makes sense, as it’s known that GABA (A) receptor activity is closely associated with sleep ( 29
Trusted Source
). May improve symptoms of menopause
Some of the benefits of magnolia bark, such as improved sleep and mood, could be especially beneficial for women during menopause ( 30
Trusted Source
). A 24-week study in 89 menopausal women experiencing symptoms of sleep and mood alterations were given a supplement containing 60 mg of magnolia bark extract and 50 mg of magnesium daily. The women experienced significant improvements in insomnia, anxiety, mood, and irritability ( 31
Trusted Source
). Still, magnolia bark extract was not the only compound examined in this study. Thus, it cannot be said with certainty that the effects were due solely to the magnolia bark. A similar study in more than 600 menopausal women found that consuming a magnolia bark supplement daily for 12 weeks relieved symptoms of insomnia, irritability, and anxiety ( 32
Trusted Source
). Another study in 180 menopausal women determined that a supplement containing magnolia bark, soy isoflavones, and lactobacilli more effectively reduced the severity and frequency of hot flashes than a supplement containing the soy isoflavones alone ( 33
Trusted Source
). Again, note that magnolia bark extract was not the only supplement given in this study.

Magnolia bark appears to have many potential benefits, including anticancer properties, improved sleep, treatment of menopause symptoms, relief of stress and anxiety, and protection against oxidation and inflammation. How to take magnolia bark
In traditional Chinese medicine, magnolia bark is often harvested by being peeled or cut away from the tree. The bark then undergoes a process of drying and boiling before it’s infused into a tincture for oral consumption. Today, magnolia bark extract is readily available in pill form.

11 Surprising Benefits and Uses of Myrrh Oil
Written by Marsha McCulloch, MS, RD on January 4, 2019
You may be familiar with myrrh from Biblical stories even if you’re not sure what it is. Myrrh is a reddish-brown dried sap from a thorny tree — Commiphora myrrha, also known as C. molmol — that is native to northeastern Africa and southwest Asia ( 1
Trusted Source
, 2 ). A steam distillation process is used to extract myrrh essential oil, which is amber to brown in color and has an earthy scent ( 3 ). Myrrh has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine. Scientists are now testing the oil’s potential uses, including for pain, infections, and skin sores ( 4
Trusted Source
). Here are 11 science-based health benefits and uses of myrrh essential oil. Share on Pinterest
1. Kills Harmful Bacteria
Ancient Egyptians used myrrh and other essential oils to embalm mummies, as the oils not only provide a nice scent but also slow decay. Scientists now know this is because the oils kill bacteria and other microbes ( 5
Trusted Source
). Additionally, in Biblical times, myrrh incense — often in combination with frankincense — was burned in places of worship to help purify the air and prevent the spread of contagious diseases, including those caused by bacteria.

Top 8 Vitamins and Nutrients for Healthy, Strong Nails
Written by Amy Goodson, MS, RD, CSSD, LD on July 18, 2018
Your fingernails can say a lot about your health. Nail beds constantly give rise to nail tissue, and adequate vitamin, mineral and nutrient intakes help support the growth, formation and strength of new nail cells. A change in the appearance, texture or shape of your nails could indicate nutrient deficiencies. Here are the 8 most important vitamins and nutrients to keep your nails healthy. 1. Biotin
Biotin is a B-complex vitamin, also known as vitamin B7, coenzyme R and vitamin H.
It promotes healthy cell growth and aids in the metabolism of protein-building amino acids that are essential for nail growth. Biotin-rich foods and supplements may help strengthen your brittle fingernails. A few small studies support biotin supplement use to that effect ( 1
Trusted Source
, 2
Trusted Source
, 3
Trusted Source
). One study in 35 people with brittle fingernails found that 2.5 mg of biotin per day for six weeks to seven months improved symptoms in 63% of participants ( 2
Trusted Source
). Deficiency in this vitamin is rare, and while there is no Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for biotin, the Adequate Intake (AI) recommendation for adults has been set at 30 mcg per day ( 4
Trusted Source
).

Other B vitamins are also important for nail health. Vitamin B12 plays a role in iron absorption, as well as the development of red blood cells. Both iron and B12 are necessary for keeping nails strong and healthy. A deficiency in vitamin B12 can result in entirely blue nails, bluish-black pigments with wavy longitudinal dark streaks and brownish pigmentation ( 5
Trusted Source
, 6
Trusted Source
). Likewise, folate, or vitamin B9, is important for nail growth and health by contributing to red blood cell formation and the development of new cells. A deficiency in folate can cause a pigment change in your nails and make them rigid and brittle ( 7
Trusted Source
). To prevent deficiencies, adults require 2.4 mcg of vitamin B12 and 400 mcg of folate per day, though pregnant women have an increased need ( 4
Trusted Source
).

Summary Adequate protein intake is needed to produce keratin, which is responsible for keeping your nails strong and resilient. 6. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids can help lubricate and moisturize your nails, giving them a shiny appearance. These fatty acids may also reduce inflammation in your nail bed, which nourishes and promotes the health of cells that give rise to your nail plate. A lack of omega-3 fatty acids could contribute to dry and brittle nails ( 16
Trusted Source
). There is no RDA for omega-3 fatty acids, but the AI is 1.6 grams and 1.1 grams per day for men and women respectively. The AMDR says that up to 1.6% of total calories can come from omega-3s ( 14
Trusted Source
, 15
Trusted Source
). Fatty fish like salmon, trout, mackerel, tuna and sardines top the charts with omega-3s, but they can also be found in walnuts, soy, eggs, chia seeds, flaxseeds and fish and flaxseed oil. Summary To prevent dry and brittle nails, consume adequate omega-3 fatty acids.

Content: Zinc
Zinc is required for many reactions in your body, including the growth and division of cells. Nails are made up of a type of cell that grows and divides rapidly. Because of this fast production, a steady supply of zinc is needed to promote the healthy growth of nails ( 18
Trusted Source
). Inadequate zinc intake can contribute to a degeneration of your nail plate, causing the appearance of white spots on your nails ( 18
Trusted Source
, 20
Trusted Source
). The RDA for zinc is 11 mg and 8 mg per day for men and women respectively ( 9
Trusted Source
). Animal proteins like beef, poultry, fish and eggs are rich sources of zinc. However, soy, chickpeas, black beans, nuts (such as almonds and cashews) and seeds also contain it. Summary Zinc is required for the healthy growth of your nails. Animal proteins are a great way to consume adequate zinc through your diet, though certain plant foods pack this mineral as well. Supplements vs Food Sources
A nutrient-rich diet is likely the best way to achieve strong, shiny, healthy nails.

Certain yogurts contain probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that have been shown to help prevent or treat various types of diarrhea. Do all yogurts contain probiotics? Bacteria are naturally found in all fermented milk products, including yogurt. To make yogurt, specific bacterial cultures are added to milk to help convert its sugars into lactic acid. This fermentation process is what sets the yogurt. To be considered a probiotic, bacteria need to be alive and able to provide health benefits. The starter bacteria cultures used to make yogurt aren’t considered probiotics, per se, as they often don’t survive digestion and thus don’t confer any therapeutic effects on your body ( 11

Restraint – Air conditioners are not meant to run for hours and hours. It is like having a hole in your wallet. As mentioned earlier, the temperature of the AC should be a degree or two below the room temperature. So keep your AC at 22-21 degrees max, let it run for two hours and then switch it off. The use of air conditioners has increased HCFC (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons) release by 20-30 percent which has set back ozone layer recovery by a whopping 25 years.

Content: Personally, I have woken up in the middle of the night sneezing like a maniac! Therefore having allergies during summer can be worsened if your AC is not maintained properly. Cleaning and maintenance of Air conditioner (Source: lovelivehealth.com)
Adequate Ventilation – Allowing fresh air to come in can help reduce indoor contaminants. Cold air is heavy and dense and can make breathing difficult. Having ventilated spaces allows normal and better breathing. An AC can be kept on for 2-3 hours and when not in use, make sure to open your windows to let the fresh air come in. The body is more suited to fresh air outside than the air in a heavy air-conditioned room. Air Cleanser – Having air cleaning units can drastically reduce the germs and pollutants that come from outside. Water Power – Drinking adequate amount of water can help reduce the symptoms of flaky dry skin.

Content: I personally wake up in the morning with itchy eyes. Even the sides of the nostrils and nose bridge are prone to drying out. This is because the AC sucks out moisture from your skin. applying olive oil or a moisturiser is recommended. Also, having a humidifier installed professionally can help solve this problem. Go Out, Inhale Fresh Air – Getting accustomed to air conditioners makes the outside temperatures seem even hotter. We tend to eat calorie-dense food when it is cold. The summer months are meant for a leaner diet. The AC can lull you into a beautiful sleep but it just makes you lethargic. Nowadays, even gyms are installed with 5-6 ACs which completely defeat the purpose of sweating it out!

Maybe: The blackness should be differentiated from blurring. True blackness is a different problem and should be addressed immediately. The blur is usually caused by glasses or dry eyes. These are usually easy to remedy by on ophthalmologist. 6.3k views Reviewed >2 years ago

See an eye doctor: It is not uncommon for vision to blur when reading or staring at a computer for a long time. It is less common to have vision black out when performing these tasks. See an eye doctor soon to evaluate the cause of the diminished vision.

Many things: A number of conditions can cause a sudden blackout of vision. Most of these are vascular events affecting important structions in the visual pathway, such as retinal aretery or vein occlusion, hemorrhages, and vasospasm. We see with both our eyes and our brain, and these structures require perfusion of blood for oxygen, butrition and proper function. 6.4k views Reviewed >2 years ago
