Be careful what you drink! This is the advice experts are giving about a potentially lethal cocktail that is served to unknowing patrons. Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is fast becoming a crowd-pleaser in the preparation of alcoholic drinks for its melodramatic presentation. But what you don't know is that the chemical, which has a temperature of -200° C, has the ability to freeze everything it comes into contact with. Why would you want to drink it then? LN2 gives alcoholic beverages a 'smouldering' effect because of its extremely cold temperatures. The chemical is completely harmless if it evaporates before it is consumed by the patron. But for Gaby Scanlon of Lancaster, England, this was not the case when she celebrated her 18th birthday earlier this month. The teen had a near-death experience when she consumed ‘Nitro Jagermeisters’, a shooter containing LN2, incorrectly ingesting the drink before the chemical could evaporate. She was subsequently rushed to hospital where d...

Here are five things you can do to help reduce your intake of calories, without being left feeling deprived: Chew more slowly It usually takes a minimum of twenty minutes for your body to register feelings of fullness, meaning that the more quickly you consume your meals, the more you will feel compelled to eat before you start to feel full. Research results published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that those who chewed each mouthful forty times ate nearly twelve per cent fewer calories than those who chewed their food just fifteen times, so try taking your time over each mouthful to help you cut back on calories.

According to Dr. Geoffrey Redmond, an endocrinologist specializing in female hormones, "just because the ovaries are not functioning as much doesn't mean that the other abnormalities won't still be present." He goes on to point out that studies show that male hormone levels climb fairly sharply with age (2). This could mean a worsening of symptoms such as excess hair growth as those hormones become more active. It could also mean that insulin-related issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular symptoms could become more problematic. While the research on menopausal/PCOS mechanisms is sparse, we do know that because PCOS affects many of the body's systems, the responses of each of these systems to aging will vary; and they will also vary according to the individual. The long term prognosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is confirmed by reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Walter Futterweit, who says: "It's not just there when you're trying ...

Licorice Root is one of the most popular herbal remedies in the world. In fact, only ginger is used more often. In traditional Chinese medicine, licorice is used to treat stress by boosting adrenal gland function. It is also used for hypoglycemia and to detoxify the body by purifying the blood and liver. Licorice root can also help people with chronic fatigue syndrome, most of whom have abnormally low blood pressure due to adrenal gland insufficiency. Licorice enables the adrenal glands to produce more of the hormone cortisol, which enables the kidneys to retain more sodium and water, thereby regulating blood pressure. An ingredient in licorice root known as glycyrrhizin is thought to counteract free radical production that causes inflammation and pain in people with inflammatory conditions like lupus. The herb is also useful for relieving dry cough and inflammation in people with asthma. Further, licorice root protects the body from a number of toxins, including aflotoxin,...
