Most of us get an occasional headache, but what we don’t realize is that a headache can sometimes be a symptom of an underlying problem. Most likely, your headache will arrive without being a symptom of a disorder. It will develop gradually and then be gone within a few hours. Usually your headache will be caused from tension that places a strain on muscular tissues and blood vessels in the head or neck. Read the rest of this entry »
Here are seven easy tips that can save you a ton of calories and fat!
Having a tuna fish sandwich for lunch is good for you, right? Not if you’re getting the tuna fish that’s already prepared. It’s usually loaded with mayonnaise.

Of the seven people who died of the disease in 1999, one was a 75-year old Canadian who had visited New York City in September 1999, and died after returning to Toronto. The implications of this fact are frightening, and surely caused public outcry in Canada, a country with as strict of agricultural-environmental standards as immigration standards. While the CDC states that WNV is not contagious from person to person (which means passengers on the Canadian victim’s flight were not at risk from his presence), the increasing number of vulnerable wildlife species is sufficient reason for Canadian concern. Furthermore, the Canadian victim’s case illustrates how a person infected with a potentially disastrous viral disease can cross international boundaries unnoticed. Questions such as “What if it was an aerosolized (air-borne) virus?” and “What if it had been something more severe, like hemorrhagic fever?” are bound to be asked.
