by: Michael Colucci
The humanity is always being challenged yearly. What good is a year if there has been no major threat to our humanity? It may be quite evil to say, but that’s reality. Every year, there are lots and lots of people who die from diseases, natural calamities or terrorist acts.
It is a quite a scare to consider that one day, it might be us who will be the next victims.
The current scare that is making officials all over the world S%$T their pants out is the H5N1 strain. The H5N1 is a strain of bird flu virus that has been found to be very deadly. It has been considered to be deadly because of the rate it has been transferring from one bird to the other.
The scaring thing about it is that once the birds show symptoms of the disease. They have only a few days to live. The virus also spreads rapidly, sometimes spreading the virus to other flocks in just a matter of days.
Heart Friendly Foods
February 20, 2008
Heart disease results when plaque builds up inside the arterial walls, which causes a partial or complete obstruction of blood flow. This reduces flow of blood to heart and may result in angina. Angina is a sensation of discomfort, pain, burning or pressure, generally felt in the chest area.
Angina may be the first indication of heart disease. But many people with heart disease often get no warning signals, until they suffer a full heart attack. Chest pain should not been ignored, even when it is not permanent.
During a heart attack, the supply of oxygen to heart is cut off, resulting in tissue death for a part of the heart muscle.
There are certain foods that lower cholesterol and thus the risk of heart disease. The following heart friendly foods are important for the health of your heart.

Lifting Procedures For Reducing Or Preventing Back Pain
by: Michael Colucci
Many people don’t realize the importance of lifting objects properly in order to avoid hurting their backs. One of the leading causes of back injuries are due to people lifting heavy objects improperly. In this article I will go over the proper procedures for lifting heavy objects in order to avoid back pain.
Lifting things doesn’t have to be hazardous, whether you’re at home or at work. Many people put lots of stress on their backs on a regular basis, especially those who have jobs in warehouses or delivery companies. Even those who don’t spend lots of time lifting heavy objects can make their backs prone to injury over time even if they lift small objects if they do it improperly.
There are two primary mistakes that many people make when lifting objects. The first mistake is using the wrong muscles to lift up objects. You’re supposed to use the muscles in your legs and buttocks instead of the muscles in your back.
Causes of variations from normal sperm count

Causes of variations from normal sperm count
by: Marc Deschamps
The factors that may affect the normal sperm count and quality could actually be summarized in six main points namely: sperm mobility, concentration, morphology, speed, count and last but not the least, sub-fertility. Drawbacks in any of these areas can vastly affect the chances of conception.
Sperm mobility refers to the sperm’s ability to move in a rather dynamic and active fashion. When it comes to healthy sperm, more than 50% of them may be considered as active if over 25% of them moving vehemently in one direction. Its significance can be understood by the fact that it enables the sperm to travel through the cervical canal, into the uterus and the fallopian tubes and finally, to break through the egg.
Normal sperm count is a function of concentration that refers to the measure of the number of sperm cells in a milliliter of semen. The average or normal concentration measures around 22 million sperm cells per milliliter of semen.

Keloids Prevention And New Researches
by: Martha Fitzharris
Gone are the days when ear piercing was considered as an effeminate ritual. Today’s fashion seems to be transforming the way ear piercing is perceived. This should not come as a surprise because ear piercing is a universal practice even during the primitive times.
An article published in a scientific magazine indicates that individuals who were ear-pierced before the age of 11 showed low chances of developing keloids. A keloid is a kind of scar characterized by a formation of thick, red-brown fibrous tissue at the site of injury. The difference with a normal scar is that keloids are highly pigmented and are slightly raised while normal scar tissues aren’t.
Constructing age categories provides valuable details about the rate of keloid development among ear-pierced individuals. A predictable trend in keloid growth was documented on the following age groups: 1 to 10, 11 to 18 and 19 above. 22.2% among children who had their ear-pierced between age 1 and 10 developed such blemishes, while the figure increases as the age advance. Those who have undergone ear-piercing between 11 and 18 shows a dramatic 83.3% increase in scar tissue development. An irregular figure of 66.7% turnout appears on subjects who were at least 19 years of age and 25% for infants during which ear piercing was conducted.
