Successful automated election
I am so glad that I was able to experience to vote with the new automated way of election. It was great. The result were very fast. But the other side of the coin, it took us about 4 hours in line just to vote. My mom and I were able to vote. I let my mom sit somewhere while I was the one who fall in line. I cannot tell how my legs hurt. But in general it was a succesful first time automated election in the Philippines. I am sure there will be some changes next election to make it more easy for the voters to vote.
Prenatal vitamins
I am working as a nurse-midwife. It is great to be a part of this stage of the life of a pregnant women. In our clinic, there are a lot of pregnant women who come in for prenatal check-ups, labor and delivery. We do health teachings to them in order to let them know about how to become healthy during pregnancy. We also prescribe prenatal vitamins as a supplement but we emphasized that proper nutrition is very important. Healthy pregnancy will prevent some complications during labor and birth.
Diet that works
So you’re looking for a diet plan that really works? Of course, they all say they “really work”.It seems obvious – but just because diets that work for some person do not mean it will work for other people. To lose weight, you must expend more calories than you eat. It is a matter of self discipline and unless you make permanent change in your lifestyle you will achieve losing weight.
Neck pains tips
I have a neck pain or stiff neck for 3 days now and it annoys me. It is very painful. I was just kind of concern because I had it last 2 years ago and it did not got better even I had physiotherapy appointments. My uncle massaged it and it really helped. It is very timely that I got this health tips about neck pain.
Like most people, you’re likely to have neck pain at least once in your life. Your neck is the least protected part of your spine, has a wide range of motion and supports the weight of your head, so it’s particularly prone to injury and wear and tear. Neck pain that continues longer than several weeks is considered chronic. But even persistent neck pain can usually be helped by exercise, stretching, physical therapy and massage. Surgery is may be considered in certain cases. Common causes of neck pain include:
Carrying heavy items, such as luggage, shopping bags, a backpack or handbag, on one side for long periods
Cradling your phone between your shoulder and neck
Muscle tension or strains – a stretching or tearing of the muscle
Osteoarthritis
Poor posture
Rheumatoid arthritis
Sleeping on your stomach or with too many or too few pillows
Spinal stenosis
Trauma from accidents or falls
Whiplash
Get emergency medical care if you:
Experience severe neck pain after a car or diving accident, fall, or sports injury.
Have neck pain that radiates down your arms and legs
Have neck pain with weakness in an arm or leg or trouble walking
Have a high fever and severe headache and your neck pain is so intense that you can’t touch your chin to your chest (this may be a sign of meningitis, a serious spinal cord infection)
Neck pain caused by muscle tension or strain usually goes away on its own in a few days and doesn’t need medical care. To help relieve discomfort:
Apply an ice pack or bag of frozen peas to your neck for 15 minutes three or more times a day.
Stretch your neck muscles by turning your neck gently from side to side and up and down.
Practice good posture, especially if you sit at a computer all day. Keep your back supported, and make sure that your computer monitor is at eye level.
Buy a pillow that’s specifically made to support the neck.
Ask a friend or partner to massage your neck.
