Medicinal plants and It's Benefits

Image
Medicinal plants, also called medicinal herbs, were discovered back in prehistoric times and used in folk medicine. Plants synthesize hundreds of chemical compounds for functions such as repellent of insects, fungi, diseases and herbivorous mammals. Many phytochemicals with potential or proven biological activity have been identified. However, since one plant contains very different phytochemicals, the effect of using the whole plant as a cure is unclear. In addition, the phytochemical content and pharmacological effects, if any, of many plants with medicinal potential have been overlooked as a result of careful scientific research to determine efficacy and safety. The term "medicinal plant" covers various plant species used in herbal medicine ("herbal medicine" or "herbal medicine"). It refers to the use of plants for medicinal purposes and studies of such use. The word "herb" comes from the Latin word "herba" and the old French word ...

Mental illness is widespread, and it is one of the most fearful consequences of aging. But cognitive impairment is not inevitable. Here are 12 ways that you can help maintain brain function. 1. To maintain psychic stimulation Through research with mice and humans, scientists have found that brain activity stimulates new connections between nerve cells and can even help the brain generate new cells, develop neurological "plasticity" and create a functional reserve that provides protection against future cell loss. Any thought-provoking activity should help build the brain. Read, attend courses, try 'mental gymnastics' such as puzzles ...

High Blood Pressure or Hypertension

Image
High blood pressure (HBP or hypertension) occurs when the blood pressure - the force with which blood presses the walls of blood vessels - is constantly too high. How your blood pressure and blood system work To survive and function properly, your tissues and organs need oxygen-rich blood that your circulatory system transports through your body. When your heart beats, it creates pressure that pushes blood through a network of tubular blood vessels, including arteries, veins and capillaries. This pressure, the blood pressure, is the result of two forces: The first force (systolic pressure) occurs when blood is pumped from the heart into the arteries that are part of the circulatory system. The second force (diastolic pressure) occurs when the heart rests between heart beats. High blood pressure is the "silent killer". You may not feel that something is wrong, but high blood pressure can silently cause harm that can threaten your health. The best prevention is to know your blo...

Kidney Problem and Treatments

A mountain bicycle  (MTB) or mountain bike is a bike designed for off-road riding. Mountain bikes have some similarities to other bikes, but have features designed to increase strength and performance in rough terrain. Typically they include suspension forks, larger studded tyres, stronger wheels, stronger brakes, straight handlebars, low gears for steep climbing and sometimes rear suspension to truly smooth the trajectory. Mountain bicycle are generally specialized for use on mountain trails, single trails, fire roads, and other unpaved surfaces, although most can [original research?] never be used off-road, and hybrid road bikes are often offered for sale based on "mountain bikes" frames. Mountain biking terrain usually has stones, roots, loose dirt, and steep slopes. Many routes have additional TTF (Technical Trail Features) such as log dumps, block walks, rock gardens, skinnies, gap jumps and wall walks. Mountain bikes are built for this type of terrain and features. The ...

A bicycle is widely regarded as a very efficient and effective means of transport, ideally suited for short and medium distances. Bicycles have many advantages over cars, including sustained physical activity associated with cycling, easier parking, better maneuverability and access to roads, cycle paths and country trails. Cycling can also reduce fossil fuel consumption, air pollution or noise levels and significantly reduce congestion. This results in lower financial costs for both the user a...
