What Happens to Your Body When You Eat Avocado Every Day

What Happens to Your Body When You Eat Avocado Every Day Can an avocado a day keep your health at bay? What does the research have to say? Native to the warmer regions of Mexico and Central America, avocados–originally referred to as aguacate or alligator pears–are fruits unlike any other. Avocados are characterized by a large central seed surrounded by a uniquely smooth and creamy green flesh that is encased by a rough outer skin. Botanically, they are actually berries! However, their nutritional profile does not reflect that of a berry. These exceptional fruits contain the highest amount of fat, calories and protein of any fruit. They also boast a fair share of fiber, potassium, magnesium, B vitamins (such as folate), vitamin E and carotenoids, among others. It's no wonder avocado consumption has increased dramatically worldwide. Not only are they packed full of nutrients, but the buttery, slightly nutty flavor is hard to resist. However, their high caloric and fat content

The 11 signs of midlife crisis in men and women

The 11 signs of midlife crisis in men and women


THE term "midlife crisis" is often used to describe someone doing something suddenly out of character later on in life.





It is usually said as part of a joke, but it can actually be a serious event and a sign they may need mental health help



A number of things can spark a midlife crisis, including caring for teenage kids, looking after sick relatives, health battles, children leaving home or relationship breakdowns.

For women, going through the menopause can also spark a midlife crisis type event.

The effect of "the change" is huge mentally and physically, and the hormonal shift can be very challenging.

It's not clear who will or won't experience a midlife crisis, with it often going hand in hand with stress or anxiety.

Depression and stress are most common in midlife and strongly linked to aging.

Dr Deborah Lee of Dr Fox Online Pharmacy told patient.info: "When crisis point is reached they go through a profound psychological breakdown, often accompanied by symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.

"When people are younger they are so energetic that they feel they can do anything they want but a decrease in liveliness makes them notice the limitations on life and their activities."

It is thought people who smoke, drink heavily, are obese or don't do much exercise are most at risk.

Having strong social connections, sleeping well, regular exercise and being able to keep your emotions in check will help stave it off.

The American Psychological Association says general signs of a midlife crisis in a loved one include:

  • A notable change in personal behavior

  • Lack of usual personal hygiene

  • A dramatic change in sleeping habits (either being unable to sleep or sleeping all the time)

  • Reduction in work performance

  • Emotional outbursts (including anger, irritability or anxiety)

  • Preoccupation with death

  • Withdrawing from social activities

  • Giving up on relationships

  • Drinking more alcohol

  • Smoking more heavily or abusing illegal drugs

  • Becoming obsessed with appearance

Men and women can experience slightly different symptoms.

Often in women it is related to the menopause so that will include the more classic symptoms linked to that - such as hot flushes, mood changes, insomnia, depression.

Men can suffer erectile dysfunction, feelings of intense sadness, have an affair or develop sudden impulses.

Dr. Lee said: "It's hard to say when a midlife crisis is likely to be over but it tends to happen when the person reaches a stage of acceptance about their life changes.

"Although it might be a great shock initially if the person accepts that this is part of life they can start to focus on what they can do according to their age and continue to enjoy life.

"However, some people find it difficult to admit they're changing and want to stay young."

She said the best way to support someone you love going through a midlife crisis is to keep up communication.

Talk to the person you are concerned about, using sensitive language and listening when they want to talk.



Keep an eye out for depression concerning behavior and stay calm and patient.

If possible you can encourage them to accept the changes they are facing and develop a more positive mindset.

PROTECT: Skin Exposures and Effects

Image
Skin Exposures and Effects Abstract Some chemicals can enter the body through the skin and injure individual organs or groups of organs. Absorbing workplace chemicals through the skin can cause diseases and disorders that include occupational skin diseases. Most efforts to address chemical hazards have focused on breathing chemicals in rather than absorbing through skin. Because of this, researchers have developed many ways to assess the effects of chemicals that workers inhale. However, there are fewer methods to assess skin exposures. Occupational skin diseases are one of the most common types of workplace diseases. They can take different forms, such as: Rash (contact dermatitis) caused by skin irritation Rash caused by skin allergies Skin cancers Skin infections Skin injuries Other skin diseases Occupations at Risk Workers in multiple industries and sectors may face risks of absorbing chemicals through their skin.

HEART FAILURE: SYMPTOMS, CAUSES, DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT & PREVENTION.

Image
HEART FAILURE: SYMPTOMS, CAUSES, DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, PREVENTION.  Heart failure — sometimes known as congestive heart failure — occurs when the heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should. When this happens, blood often backs up and fluid can build up in the lungs, causing shortness of breath. Certain heart conditions, such as narrowed arteries in the heart (coronary artery disease) or high blood pressure, gradually leave the heart too weak or stiff to fill and pump blood properly. Proper treatment can improve the signs and symptoms of heart failure and may help some people live longer. Lifestyle changes — such as losing weight, exercising, reducing salt (sodium) in your diet and managing stress — can improve your quality of life. However, heart failure can be life-threatening. People with heart failure may have severe symptoms, and some may need a heart transplant or a ventricular assist device (VAD). One way to prevent heart failure is to prevent and control conditions

STROKE: SYMPTOMS, CAUSES, TREATMENT AND DIAGNOSIS  A stroke occurs when a blockage or bleed of the blood vessels either interrupts or reduces the supply of blood to the brain.

If you want to become Better Read this now.

You can be whoever you want to be, and live the life of your dreams. The only thing that is keeping you back is yourself and your mind. Once you realize this, you can go as high as your dreams go. Here are 11 atomic habits that will help you do so. 1. Try to be rejected more: Every day, reach out to 1 or 2 people who you'd like to work with (even if you know they won't respond.) You might not hear back at first, but eventually, you will get a response from someone. You got nothing to lose, but potentially a lot to gain. 2. Practice diverting your attention. When you have a self-defeating thought, the solution isn't usually to mull on it until you arrive at a conclusion. You should distract yourself with something productive. Focus on something that helps you, not negative thoughts. 3. Curate your sphere of influence. The people you spend the most time with have a significant impact on who you will become.

5 things you need to know about sexual consent

5 things you need to know about sexual consent In a nutshell, sexual consent is when you and your sexual partner both agree to have sex or engage in any kind of sexual activity. Sexual consent is all about ongoing communication; you and your partner should be checking in with each other during any sexual activity to make sure you are comfortable with what you are doing.   1. Sexual consent must be explicit There’s only one way to know for sure if someone has given their consent: if they tell you. Active consent means that you and your partner give each other a clear and explicit ‘yes’ to the sexual activity. It’s no good just to assume that the other person is as into what you are doing as you are. The absence of a ‘no’ isn’t enough. It’s extremely important to check, because any non-consensual sexual activity (even kissing and touching) is harmful and against the law. 2. You can always change your mind You or your sexual partner can decide at any time that you don’t want to keep going
