6 Natural Remedies to Treat Dry Cough and Mucus at Home

People have faced the problem of cough and mucus for a long time. Mucus is secreted by the nose in response to a variety of things, such as an infection or fever, going inside our body. The mucus produced by our noses also protects us from infections. In fact, when the body’s immunity is weak, the production of mucus increases and works to protect the body from viruses or bacteria. In such a situation we get irritated and want to cure it as fast as we can. But do you know that some home remedies can easily heal it? Let us know more about these remedies. Pippali Decoction Add 3-4 pippali leaves, and a pinch of turmeric in 200 ml water, boil for 5 minutes and drink hot after adding jaggery powder to taste. Read the full list at News18 via MSN.

New GMO labeling rule takes effect, but food anxieties remain

On Jan. 1, the long-running public debate about labeling genetically modified foods entered a new phase. A U.S. federal rule went into effect mandating that food companies disclose whether their products contain a detectable amount of recombinant DNA — genetic material from multiple sources combined through lab techniques to confer desired traits. The new policy requires that those foods be labeled as "bioengineered," or carry a QR code and phone number that customers can use to find that information. Since the law requiring the rule change was passed in 2016, it has sparked a predictable backlash. Groups like the nonprofit Center for Food Safety and a coalition of advocates known as Citizens for GMO Labeling have pushed against the regulation, arguing it doesn't do enough to protect cons...

Here’s how candles lead the wellness industry during the pandemic

Once the remit of last-minute, hastily-wrapped housewarming gifts, candles have had the glow-up of a century over the course of two years. Further proof can be found in the numbers, with reports stating that 49% of scent shoppers used their go-to fragrances less often in 2020, but 85% used home scents in the same time period, with candles leading the category. So, how did the needle move from gifting and decor to wellness essential for the candle industry? We investigate. Let there be light: How candles became the unlikely hero of the lockdown Abigail Cook Stone, co-founder and CEO of Otherland, believes that the extended periods of lockdown have altered the way we view candles. “The events of the past year have made us crave feel-good things to look forward to, such as the anticipatio...

Best raw dog food: The top natural doggy dinners

People are increasingly looking for the best raw dog food. It's not just a passing fad, as pet parents are beginning to favor it over commercial dog food in increasing numbers. While there's nothing wrong with the best dog food that you're probably buying at the moment, it has to be said that raw dog food has some unique advantages that are well worth bearing in mind. One of the biggest draws of the best raw dog food is that unlike more commercial options, it is free from the artificial preservatives that are often the hallmarks of processed options. It also has far fewer ingredients than regular dog food, which means your pup gets everything it needs, and nothing that it doesn't. Get the full list at PetsRadar

5 natural remedies to unblock inflamed sinuses, breathe easy

Sinusitis is not as bad as the common cold. Actually, sufferers swear that it is much worse. Sinuses evolved as a body part with a purpose and serve it well... except for those who suffer chronic congestion and infection. It can be very unsettling when swelling on the insides of the sinus lining disallows proper drainage of nasal fluids and leaves the space clogged. Sinuses are air-filled spaces behind the bones of the upper face: between the eyes and behind the forehead, nose and cheeks. The sinuses lighten the skull and improve our voices. But the larger function that they are there on the human body is for the main function of producing mucous that moisturises the inside of the nose. Thanks to this design, a marvel of Nature, the mucous layer protects the nose from pollutants, micro-or...

Do I need a wellness screening every year?

Physicians insist on the importance of regular wellness screenings — just don’t call them physicals. The term “physical” is outdated, says George M. Abraham, president of the American College of Physicians and chief of medicine at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester, Mass. In reality, he says, what patients need is less a head-to-toe examination than an annual preventive visit — a chance for doctor and patient to check in and cover topics that might not come up during more focused sessions. Over the years, there has been a movement away from annual physicals and toward routine preventive screenings. Researchers are split on the concrete value of general health exams. In 2019, a systematic review of general health checks published in the Cochrane Database of Systemat...

The Beginner’s Guide to the Paleo Diet

Certain diets emphasize macronutrients—high-carb diets, low-carb diets, low-fat diets, high-fat diets, etc. For example, in the 1980s low-fat diets were all the rage, and as a result, all sorts of packaged low-fat cakes, cookies, and snack bars took over grocery store shelves like wildfire. However, while the original premise of the diet was that eating less fat would help people lose fat, it became evident that many of the processed and packaged foods we eat were still contributing to weight gain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and overall disease risk. As a result, nutrition and wellness experts started encouraging people to focus less on specific macronutrients and rather on overall diet quality with the aim of consuming fewer processed foods. Thus, diets such as the paleo diet...

Men, here are the natural foods to increase your ‘stamina’

Omena, groundnuts, fish, arrowroots and cassava are some of the readily available natural foods that help men amass enough stamina in bed, Science and multiple interviews with experts reveal. The International Journal of Impotence Research projects that by 2025, 322 million men in the world would be suffering erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to an inability to either produce or maintain an erection that is firm enough to have sexual intercourse. Partners of men with erectile dysfunction experience lower sexual satisfaction, correlated to the degree of ED in their partner. The principal risk factor associated with ED is age, and the increasing prevalence of ED is linked to the global ageing population. Read more at Standard Media.
