I am risk-averse as much as possible. I also like to think that my lungs were designed to breathe in - ideally - a combination of oxygen and inert gases, some beneficial isotopes, and nothing else. Well, maybe a bit of perfume, a flower's aroma, some spices, fresh produce,...

Let us remember that nutrition is the science responsible for the study of food, micro and macronutrients, as well as the process in which they are assimilated, absorbed and eliminated from the body, helping its vital functions and pathological conditions due to their excess or deficiency.  The most significant problem...

Why is it easier for us to take better care of our car's needs than our own health? We devotedly regularly take our vehicle to a specialist (a garage mechanic) for maintenance, and, in the case of mechanical problems, we ask questions, cluck with concern over every detail of...

Red wine and beer are more of a trigger than white wine, and dry wine is less of a trigger than sweet. I wasn't a big drinker to begin with, but so desperate to make every attempt to get rid of the migraines that I tried every strategy and recommendation I came across in my...

Without a doubt, in this issue, we are within the greatest enigma in human existence since, often, many people who suffer from this type of condition seem to be going around in circles, given the lack of convincing results, sustained improvement of symptoms, and constant relapses. They cause many patients...

Neck pain can be self-inflicted. If you spend a lot of time tensing up around an attack, neglecting to practice relaxation exercises in the neck and upper shoulder area will result in at least tension, if not outright pain.  When you bring your car to the garage because it's not...

Reminiscent of homeopathy, which is considered the science and art of healing based on both the disease's individuality and the patient's individuality, using the principles of similarity, minimum dose and the healing force of nature.  Homeopathy has certain characteristics that make it in a certain way predictive, since according to...
