Stiff neck, treatment and prevention: here is the infallible natural remedy that you absolutely need to know
Stiff neck is a very common disorder that afflicts millions of people every day. However, this does not make it any less annoying. Torticollis is a painful muscle disorder that limits neck mobility and causes discomfort. The condition can be triggered by poor posture during sleep, prolonged use of digital devices, abrupt movements, or excessive stress on the neck muscles.
Common symptoms of stiff neck include pain localized in the neck area, difficulty moving, and a feeling of stiffness. In some cases, the discomfort may radiate to the shoulders and head, causing further discomfort. To prevent stiff neck, it is important to maintain good posture during daily activities, take frequent breaks to stretch neck and shoulder muscles, and use a proper mattress and pillow to promote correct posture during sleep.
To relieve stiff neck, it is advisable to apply hot or cold compresses to reduce pain and inflammation, rest and avoid sudden movements, maintain correct posture, and consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers for pain control after consulting a health professional. If stiff neck persists for more than a few days despite home remedies, it is advisable to consult a doctor as some cases may require more specific treatments,
Groundbreaking Study Reveals: Nuts Can Lead to Abdominal Fat Loss, Contrary to Previous Beliefs
Nuts: Debunking the Weight Gain Myth
For decades, it has been believed that consuming nuts leads to weight gain. The high calorie and fat content of tree nuts, in particular, has raised concerns about their inclusion in a healthy diet. However, a groundbreaking study published in the Nutrients journal challenges this long-held belief and sheds new light on the benefits of incorporating nuts into our diets.
A New Perspective on Nut Consumption
The study conducted by scientists from Vanderbilt University Medical Center focused on millennial-aged adults who had risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome (MetSx), a group of conditions that increase the risk for heart disease and diabetes. These individuals were divided into two groups: one consumed an ounce of unsalted mixed tree nuts such as pistachios, while the other consumed an ounce of carbohydrate-based snacks like pretzels or graham crackers. Both groups maintained their regular dietary habits and lifestyle throughout the 16-week study period.
The study aimed to determine if nut consumption influenced body weight independently by ensuring that both groups consumed equal calories each day. The researchers found no significant change in energy intake or body weight among participants who consumed tree nuts. This directly contradicts the belief that nut consumption leads to weight gain.

Salad of the week

A fresh green recipe already gives the illusion of spring. It can serve as a side dish, but is also good for lunch. The combination of chervil and seasonings such as horseradish and fennel (seed) makes this more than an ordinary ‘green salad’. The dressing is on the heavy side, so estimate how much you want to use.

Study: Thats why its so important to go for a walk every day
Today’s science also confirms this: There is nothing better for the mind than a walk in the countryside. A visit to the park measurably reduces the level of stress hormones. Biologist Gregory Bratman from Stanford University recently showed how such a walk affects the brain. He let subjects walk through his university’s green campus for an hour and a half, then measured their brain activity and saw that their subgenual prefrontal cortex (SPC) had calmed down. An active SPC is associated by brain researchers with rumination, and in fact Bratman’s subjects reported in surveys that they were less likely to get caught up in negative thoughts about their lives. Other studies have demonstrated that walking improves memory and reduces the risk of depression.

The bladder is a hollow, sac-like muscular organ responsible for storing and expelling urine. The main function of the bladder is to store and expel urine. When bladder health worsens, various diseases such as neurogenic bladder, bladder fistula, bladder rupture, bladder diverticulum, cystitis, bladder stones, and bladder cancer may occur.
Among the foods we eat often, some irritate the bladder while others soothe it. In general, alcohol, citrus fruits, coffee, and artificial sweeteners are considered bladder irritating foods. In this regard, we examined foods that are good for bladder health based on data from the Urology Care Foundation.
Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes=Potatoes and sweet potatoes are considered bladder-friendly foods. In particular, potatoes and sweet potatoes do best when temperatures drop. Sweet potatoes contain various nutrients such as carbohydrates, beta-carotene, vitamins A, B, C, E, zinc, folic acid and potassium.

New insights into the role of platelets in patients with liver cirrhosis 2024-02-10 01:08:27
Vienna (OTS) – Among other complications, liver cirrhosis is also associated with changes in the blood coagulation system. However, the role of platelets in patients has so far been insufficiently researched. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have examined and clarified the connection between platelet function and the risk of bleeding, thrombosis or the progression of the underlying disease, liver cirrhosis. The study results recently published in the journal “Hepatology” can improve the understanding of the risk profile of patients with liver cirrhosis and reveal new possibilities for personalized therapeutic approaches.
As part of the study, the research team led by Benedikt Hofer, Thomas Reiberger and Thomas Gremmel from MedUni Vienna and Vienna General Hospital analyzed blood platelet function in 107 patients who were treated for liver cirrhosis at Vienna General Hospital between July 2019 and December 2020. The existence of liver cirrhosis, i.e. severe scarring of the liver, can lead to many complications and, among other things, changes blood clotting. However, the widespread opinion that the disease is inherently associated with an increased tendency to bleed does not hold up to current research findings. “We now know that both anticoagulant and coagulative factors are reduced in patients with advanced liver disease.
