Effects of Caffeine Withdrawal : Headache & Migraines

I’ve been wondering since yesterday why I’m experiencing headache. I went to the mall yesterday, as I was still in a jeepney, my headache started. I thought I was not just use to have a long ride for commuting. Again, today headache attacks same time around at noon time, I feel so dizzy and unbearable headache. I thought again maybe I’m just lacking sleep or I was hungry, wondering because I just ate my breakfast and lunch. Wondering again, it’s been two days I have this headache and came across to my mind that it’s been 2 days too since I stopped drinking coffee. We’ve been trying to conceive a baby and my Ob-Gyne advised me to stop drinking coffee, tea, softdrinks or any caffeinated drinks. And my husband reminded me over again to stop drinking. So I just did. It’s ok that I’ll take some headache. I know it’s worth sacrificing when you know it’s for your future little one J If possible I don’t want to take any medication. Just because the pain wont gone, I asked my sister Tin...

Menstrual Cycles What happens in the 28 Day monthly period The Menstrual Cycle Menstruation is a woman's monthly bleeding. It is also called menses, menstrual period, or period. When a woman has her period, she is menstruating. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from the inside of the uterus (womb). It flows from the uterus through the small opening in the cervix, and passes out of the body through the vagina. Menstruation is part of the menstrual cycle, which helps a woman's body prepare for the possibility of pregnancy each month. A cycle begins on the first day of bleeding and continues up to, but not including, the first day of the next period. The average menstrual cycle is around 28 days long. However, a cycle can range anywhere from 21 days to 35 days or more. The length of a woman's cycle may change a little from month to month. Most menstrual periods can last from 1 to 8 days, with the average being 4 to 5 days. Periods are a normal part of a w...

Hi everyone, today my hubby prepared our breakfast, a healthy dish, a salad dish that is new to me, I do love vegetable salad. You will think that it is spicy or it wouldn’t taste good. As I eat I enjoyed that flavour, the taste and the combination of wasabi, it has a sweet, sour and wasabi taste but it not that too much spicy. Using wasabi in this recipe is a good choice. Try this at home and you will like and enjoy every bite. We have shared this salad dish to my Aunt Belen and she like it a lot than the other salad she tasted.

1. Think long term . Shortcuts and quickie plans never last. 2. Do it yourself . Improving your health and energy are better motivations than a coming class reunion . 3. Prepare the way . Don't rush into a diet before you are ready for long-term changes. Keeping a diet journal will help you become more aware of what you eat and why. 4. Think fruits, grains, legumes , and vegetables . In the standard American diet , more than 50 percent of calories come from fat, sugar and alcohol. 5. Control portion sizes . Use a smaller plate. Serve yourself smaller portions and put away leftovers before you eat. At restaurants, ask for a doggie bag instead of cleaning your plate. 6. Eat three meals a day .

Successful weight-loss managers realize that they are not on a temporary diet . They are starting a permanent new lifestyle. 8. Ex...
