Why You Snore And How To Prevent It

Image
Why It Happens If you snore, it's because the relaxed tissues in your throat vibrate as the air you breathe in rushes past them. About half of U.S. adults do it from time to time. Things like your weight, your health, and the shape of your mouth can make you more likely to sound like you're sawing logs during the night.  How Do I Know If I Snore? If it’s loud enough to wake your partner, you probably have heard about it. If you don’t believe them or sleep alone and want to know for sure, turn on a voice-activated recorder before you fall sleep. Stuffy Nose Anything that stops you from breathing through your nose can make you snore, like if you’re stopped up from a cold, flu, or allergies. Over-the-counter medicines or nasal strips can help open up those airways, but talk to your doctor if you’re stuffed up for weeks at a time. The Shape of Your Nose If the thin wall between your nostrils didn’t form quite right, one side can be smaller than the oth...

Four dangerous foods that slowly destroy the heart you must stop eating

Image
The heart is a muscular organ in humans and other animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assists in the removal of metabolic wastes. In humans, the heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest. The human heart is situated in the middle mediastinum, at the level of thoracic vertebrae T5-T8. A double-membraned sac called the pericardium surrounds the heart and attaches to the mediastinum. The Heart is very delicate hence the reason we take a lot of precaution when it comes to our diet and what may likely affect it.You may not even realize it, but chances are good that you eat at least one thing that’s terrible for your heart on a daily basis. Some many deaths are caused by heart attack and nearly every single case is caused by one of three things, or a combination of them; poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and chronic stress. Reducing all thr...

"Don't let people kiss your baby" mother warns after newborn baby girl dies days after someone with herpes kissed her

Image
An 18-day-old baby has died after she contracted a life-threatening herpes infection through a kiss. Baby Mariana was born healthy on July 1, however, on July 7, which was her parents' wedding day, she became ill and had to be rushed to the hospital where doctors tried unsuccessfully to save her life. Iowa couple, Shane and Nicole Sifrit had to cut their wedding reception short to take their 6-day-old daughter to the Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. At the hospital, doctors said the child had become infected with meningitis HSV-1, which is caused by the herpes virus. The virus is usually passed through sexual contact or transmitted from mother to child. Both parents of the child tested negative to the herpes virus, suggesting the baby had become infected through someone who had visited the family and kissed her. "It immediately went downhill from there. Within two hours she had quit breathing and all of her organs just started to fail," Shane...

OJ Simpson's parole may be in jeopardy after he was caught masturbating in his prison cell by a female corrections officer

Image
OJ Simpson risks being denied parole today after he was caught masturbating in his prison cell. This act is strictly forbidden in federal prisons in the U.S. and for this reason, the former athlete is facing a disciplinary hearing. He was caught by a female corrections officer in June as she was making her rounds. Simpson was a model inmate ever since he entered Lovelock Correctional Center in 2008, until he was caught pleasuring himself. It is believed this might affect his parole hearing when he goes in front of the Nevada Department of Corrections Parole Board on Thursday.  A source told Dailmail: "While it's not the most serious charge to be written up for in prison, it's serious enough that any potential parole date may be delayed or his parole denied all together." Most observers believe Simpson will be granted parole after meeting with the four DOC parole board members on July 20. He will appear remotely from Locklock in front of the four-member pa...
