Stay cool while eating

Copied from "What every Body is saying"
Did you ever wonder why you get an upset stomach if there is an arguement at the dinner table? When you are upset, your digestive system no
longer has as much blood as it needs for proper digestion. Just as your
limbic system’s freeze, flight, or fight response shunts blood away from
the skin, it likewise diverts blood from your digestive system, sending
blood to your heart and limb muscles (especially the legs) to prepare for
your escape. The upset stomach you feel is a symptom of that limbic
arousal. The next time an argument ensues during a meal, you will recognize the limbic response of distress. A child whose parents fight at the
dinner table really can’t finish his meal; his limbic system has trumped
alimentation and digestion to prepare them for escape and survival. Along
these lines, it is interesting to note how many people vomit after experiencing a traumatic event. In essence, during emergencies the body is
saying that there is no time for digestion; the reaction is to lighten the load
and prepare for escape or physical conflict (Grossman, 1996, 67–73).

Fake and real smile

Can u distinguish between a fake smile and a real smile. Its easy.

A real smile appears primarily because of the action of two muscles:
the zygomaticus major, which stretches from the corner of the mouth to
the cheekbone, and the orbicularis oculi, which surrounds the eye. When
working together bilaterally, these draw the corners of the mouth up and
crinkle the outer edges of the eyes, causing the crow’s feet of a familiar
warm and honest smile.
On the other hand When we exhibit a social or false smile, the lip corner stretches sideways through the use of a muscle called the risorius.

Ondine's Curse

A 6 months old Delhi child has been diagonosed to have Ondine's curse disease or Central hypoventilation syndrome...
Why I shared the news because its a very rare condition in which a person can't respire while sleeping... This disease may be congenital or aquired....
At the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi, Yatharth Dutt’s parents and grandparents cannot remember the last time they slept for a full eight hours. They have been taking turns watching Yatharth sleep the entire night and looking for a blue tinge on his skin and lips, a sign that his body has run out of oxygen.
Ondine's curse is a rare genetic respiratory disorder with around 1,000 to 1,200 cases globally...

It is generally congenital but in rare conditions it may be aquired. Aquired cases are generally caused by trauma or brain damages.....

Stay safe... stay healthy..

Beta blockers

Some people usually take beta blockers to lower the blood pressure. So here are a few things you may like to know about these drugs. Examples of oral beta blockers:
Acebutolol
Atenolol
Bisoprolol
Metoprolol
Nadolol
Nebivolol
Propranolol
Uses for beta blockers
Doctors prescribe beta blockers to prevent, treat or improve symptoms in a variety of conditions, such as:
High blood pressure
Irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
Heart failure
Chest pain (angina)
Heart attacks
Migraine
Certain types of tremors
Side effects and cautions

Side effects may occur in people taking beta blockers. However, many people who take beta blockers won't have any side effects.

Common side effects of beta blockers include:

Fatigue
Cold hands or feet
Weight gain
Less common side effects include:

Shortness of breath
Trouble sleeping
Depression
Beta blockers generally aren't used in people with asthma because of concerns that the medication may trigger severe asthma attacks. In people who have diabetes, beta blockers may block signs of low blood sugar, such as rapid heartbeat. It's important to monitor your blood sugar regularly.

Beta blockers can also affect your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, causing a slight increase in triglycerides and a modest decrease in high-density lipoprotein, the "good" cholesterol. These changes often are temporary. You shouldn't abruptly stop taking a beta blocker because doing so could increase your risk of a heart attack or other heart problems.
