Broken heart syndrome and valentine's day
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone. February 14 has come to be a day many people set aside to show and expect love in a very special way, especially among those who are in romantic relationships. The excitement and expectations among partners are so high and intensely emotional as this day draws closer. And the question is can any of these highly expectant lovers develop a disease called broken heart syndrome?

Broken heart syndrome is another name for a type of heart disease known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This heart condition manifests in a similar way as a heart attack (myocardial infarction): the affected person experiences a sudden chest pain and difficulty with breathing; some people can also vomit, have palpitations (feel their heart beating very fast) or temporarily lose consciousness (something called syncope). Broken heart syndrome usually occurs after a person has been severely stressed physically or emotionally. Emotionally stressful situations that have been linked to the broken heart syndrome in affected individuals include a very bad news about their finances (maybe they lost their lifesaving in an investment); death of someone they loved so much. And what else can cause a severe emotional stress? A break up of that wonderful, blissful relationship or any other disappointments on Valentine's Day could cause...

Staying hydrated is important for maintaining your health. As a matter of fact, the human body is made up of over 70% water; many of us still do not drink a sufficient amount of water daily.
There are few things in the world more refreshing than an ice cold glass of water. Maybe it's the lack of flavor that makes us deny ourselves an essential natural resource, while inadvertently damaging our bodies.

Most of the time are are simply not drinking enough water, however excessive sweating, blood loss, diarrhea, and fever are some conditions that lead to dehydration.
Here are seven signs from your body that let you know when you need more water daily.

1. Dry Skin - This is an early sign of dehydration, which might be a precursor for a severe health issue.
Not drinking enough means little or no sweating; this causes the body to retain toxins and salt normally excreted through the skin.
It also affects the skin's ability to shed dirt and accumulated oil; drink more water to stave off acne breakouts.

2. Dry Mouth - Water lubricates the mucous membranes in the throat and mouth; it keeps your mouth moist long after taking a drink.

3. Headaches - At times this might be a way of the body informing you it needs more water. Since the brain is a top priority in the body, water from the blood is used by the brain. This eventually affects oxygen intake for the brain and leads to a headache.

4. Loss of Muscle Mass - Fitness experts always advise drinking water before, during and after a workout. Muscles are made up mainly of water; this means the less water in the body, the less muscle mass.

5. Digestive Problems - Dehydration causes the strength and amount of mucus in the stomach to reduce, this may lead to the accumulation of stomach acid. This eventually leads to indigestion and heartburn.

6. Fatigue - Feeling disoriented and tired when you are dehydrated are warnings. When fatigue sets in, we just reach out for another energy drink or coffee to get an energy boost.
When really a glass of water is the best choice; coffee and energy drinks will long term lead to further dehydration.

7. Dry Eyes - Your level of hydration affects more than your mouth. Without water in the body, your tear ducts dry up, some blood-shots formed in the eyes are a result of dehydration.

It’s nearly 10pm, you should be preparing to hit the sheets. That’s when your stomach starts rumbling with hunger.
You’ve been told over and over how eating late makes you gain unnecessary fat. While there’s more to it than just getting heavy, you might need to start making some smart choices about your midnight snacks.
Instead of reaching out for the tastiest snack in your fridge, take the time to pick light and healthy food. Below are five types of foods to avoid at night and why:

1) Caffeine - Taking drinks rich in caffeine is a bad idea past bedtime. The main culprit here is coffee. When taken as early has 6pm, coffee has been shown to disrupt sleep.

2) Dairy fat - Drinking warm milk before bed can help you sleep better, that's because a sleep-inducing amino acid is present in it. However consuming food rich in high-calorie butter or cheese will really clog your system and reduce the quality of sleep you get.

3) Beans - Eating beans late leads to excessive gas and eventually bloating. This will most certainly disturb your sleep quality and the next day.

4) Oily/Spicy foods - Avoid late eating of oily food they cause indigestion, Spices lead to flatulence and disturbed sleep.

5) Alcohol - Taking alcohol gets you drowsy and in a way bogs you down. It just won't give you the kind of sleep you want to have.

A strong memory depends on the health and vitality of your brain. The brain's fitness depends on how often it is utilised and every time you do something new or different, you create new neural pathways that helps boost your memory.

Here are some tips to work out your brain:

Memorise Phone Numbers - Mobile phones remember every number that calls them so no one memorizes phone numbers any more, but it is a great memory skill. Learn a new phone number every day and increase the sharpness of your brain

Go a Different Route - Drive or walk a different way to your destination. This deviation in routine helps the brain practice spacial memory and directions

Pick a Book - Read a book on an entirely new subject. Read a novel set in ancient Nigeria; Learn about economics or poetry. There are many good non-fiction books that entertain you while teaching about a subject

Use Your Opposite Hand - Spend the day doing things with your non-dominant hand. If you are left-handed, open doors with your right hand. If you are right-handed, try using your keys with your left. This simple task will cause your brain to lay down some new pathways and rethink daily tasks

Use a Mental List - Writing a list is good, but we can become too reliant on them. Make your shopping list, but then try to shop without it. Cross check, only when you have put every item you can think of in your cart. Do the same with your "to do" lists

Solve a Problem - Pretend you are starting a business and think about how you would solve a problem. What would you sell and to whom would you sell it? Who are your competitors and how would you beat them? Give your brain something to chew on

Observation Games - Pick a specific thing to observe on a new day. You may decide to pay attention to what shoes people are wearing one day. Everywhere you go, and on TV, note how people dress and think about why certain people dress the way they do. Give your brain something to think about

Close Your Eyes - Try a safe activity, like eating or showering, with your eyes closed. That forces you to use and strengthen your other senses. Most of what your brain does is process what your senses are bringing in. So, closing your eyes forces the brain to process that information in new ways

Let the Music Play - Learn to play a musical instrument. Studies show that learning something new and complex over a longer period of time is an ideal brain exercise

Do Maths in your Head - Figure out problems without the aid of pencil, paper, or computer; you can make this more difficult — and athletic — by walking at the same time

Absent periods can occur due to various reasons, but only becomes a health concern if this absence persists over a period of time. This condition is called secondary amenorrhea.

Although most people are quick to consider pregnancy while dealing with the various reasons for missed periods, there are a number of possibilities which are seldom mulled over, but should be considered in order to take effective precautions and seek proper medical care:

Weight: Body weight affects the hypothalamus, which can upset your menstrual cycle. BMI level under 18-19 may trigger irregularities since enough estrogen will not be created. This is also why underweight women, who suffer from bulimia or anorexia, tend to miss their periods frequently. On the other hand, overweight women may stop ovulating due to increase in the production of estrogen and therefore, have heavy, infrequent periods.

Stress: Any type of physical or emotional stress is bound to affect your cycle. This is because, the production of stress hormones in the body increases and an elevated level of adrenaline and cortisol may impair the functioning of the reproductive system. Under stressful situations, the body employs its amino acids to assist the neurotransmitters to produce stress hormones over sex hormones. As a consequence, the chances of missing your periods increase.

Exercising Too Much: While regular workout is indispensable for battling a sedentary lifestyle, overdoing it might cause your body to produce lesser estrogen and delay your periods. Women, who are into athletics and gymnastics, are more likely to suffer from amenorrhea.

Breastfeeding: Prolactin is the hormone that aids milk production and may also repress ovulation for a while. Many breastfeeding moms may not get their periods for a month or more as a result.

Food Allergies: Celiac disease or untreated gluten allergy can directly harm hormone production. They are directly related to your gut health and your adrenal glands which is why they can influence the sex hormone creation.
