Digestive disorders that would come normal would include that of consuming something that the stomach would not like.

Keeping Track of your Medical History

Written by Charlie on March 6, 2007
For most healthcare institutions and hospitals, patient charts containing the medical history of their patients are kept in order for assigned physicians to have a basis for making their medical diagnoses. Current medical complaints and conditions need to be traced prior to prescribing and advising new medicines and health examinations such as laboratory examinations and cardiology exercises. One wrong advice could lead to patient liability and may worsen the situation of the patient.

Written by Charlie on March 4, 2007
Health is something that has become very delicate as of late.

Headaches Should Not Be Taken For Granted

Written by Charlie on February 26, 2007
Aneurysm
Headaches are only normal for people to encounter. This especially holds true when people are put under a lot of pressure, stressed out and lack the necessary hours of sleep to recharge their body and mind. Abuse of the body’s health is only normal as this is something that most people would usually do when they are always on the go or have to perform the duties necessary for them to uphold their career and lifestyle.

Male Sweat Confirmed To Affect Female Hormones

Written by Charlie on February 8, 2007
male-sweat2.jpg It has been a theory for some time that one's pheromones affect the way we attract someone of the opposite sex. Presumably, one's scent calls our prospective mate to us. Until recently this has mainly been theory. A study conducted by the University of California Berkley has shown that a hormone found in male sweat increases production of cortisol in women. Claire Wyart, one of the researchers of the Berkley Olfactory Research program, who also lead this particular study said that while most people don't believe that pheromones exist because humans do not exhibit behavior that can be stereotyped they have been able to show that the male chemical signal, androstadienone, definitely causes hormonal, physiological and psychological changes in women. The study had 21 women sniff from various vials - some containing the hormone androstadienone while others contained yeast. Their bodies reactions were measured afterwards. ...

The excitement is palpable, you make a plan and you intend to follow it to the dot. Yet as time goes by, other things crop up, other priorities get in the way. I am no exception to this, shall we say, phenomenon. I suppose it is part of life. At a certain point, you just seem unable to sort through the muddle of daily life. When I first visited my trainer weeks ago, I was brimming with enthusiasm. We decided on settling for at least twice a week of workout sessions. Now, barely a month later, I am struggling to balance all the things I need to do. My workload is such that I have to be up early and go back ...
