  Experts Reveal Why 'Hair Shocking' Is the Key to Reviving Lifeless Locks. If you notice that your hair has suddenly become uninteresting, it may be attempting to tell you something. "Just like our bodies tell us when they need rest or hydration, our hair speaks to us too," explains Devin Graciano, hairstylist and head of product development at hair-care brand Goldie Locks.

  Karachi hospitals are overflowing with dengue patients. Karachi:  According to information released on Monday, dengue cases have recently increased in the city, where public health has deteriorated due to prolonged periods of heavy rain. Senior medical specialists told Dawn that many dengue patients were seeing their doctors these days and that anyone complaining of a sore throat and a high fever should get tested as soon as they notice them, usually within 24 hours. They advised against self-medication, including antibiotics, steroids, and even some common medications that drop the platelet count, as these may exacerbate the situation and result in death. They also advised against bad patient treatment by any (unqualified) doctor. However, they did not call the situation "alarming" because most patients recovered successfully at home within a week. Three hundred forty-seven cases were reported in five days, and those who had a fever or sore throat were encouraged to get ch

 5 scientific reasons ultra-processed foods are unhealthy Ultra-processed foods, such as chips, boxed cereal, and fast food chicken nuggets, account for about 60 per cent of the calories consumed by the average adult. What makes them so well-liked by the public? The main reason is that ultra-processed meals only require reheating to be consumed. Because of the lack of time individuals have to cook, ultra-processed foods are more popular. However, there are risks to one's health. Hyper-processed foods aren't very close to their natural state. Food manufacturers develop these combinations, which are packaged in appealing hues and presented to consumers. Some of the ingredients in these products include sugar, fat, salt, and additives that are added to food to increase flavour.

The cardiovascular system distributes oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood throughout the body and carries away waste products and harmful substances.

Take a look at these below suggestions for maintaining a healthy heart. 1. Reduce your salt intake, as hypertension is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A heart-healthy diet should include limiting salt (sodium). That's what the AHA suggests, by the way. Sodium intake for healthy persons should not exceed 2,300 mg daily (about a teaspoon of salt).

  How global warming causes monkeypox outbreak Some scientists believe that global warming helps disperse diseases like monkeypox to places that aren't normally found. According to World Health Organization, initial cases of monkeypox in 2022 have no proven connections to nations where the virus is endemic. On May 17 of this year (2022), Portugal recorded the first human monkeypox incidence.   According to Heidi Brown, an associate professor at The University of Arizona, an increase in disease occurs when there is congestion or when more people move to an area, exposing them to new diseases; however, there are also shifting disease patterns connected to climate change.   Brown investigates the connections between climate change, vector-borne diseases, zoonotic diseases, and spatial epidemiology in his studies.
