A sore throat usually means you have a cold or the flu. Is can also be caused by dry air, pollution, or simply hooting and hollering too loud at a football game. When you are sick of course it may take a few days before your throat is entirely back to normal. But there are many ways to get quick relief.Have a soothing gargle: this is very effective traditional remedy. Add a tea spoon of salt to a cup of warm water and gargle away.Pause for a moment of silence: giving your voice a rest will help ease a sore throat by reducing strain on the vocal cords.Breathe soothing moisture: breathing in moisture – either by taking a long steamy shower or simply plugging in a humidifier will help protect to delicate linings inside the throat and make them less irritated.

Reach for tea and honey: any warm beverage can make a sore throat feel better, but tea is especially good because it contains compounds called tannins, which can ease the irritation.

Your back is incredibly versatile. We adults, continue to take our backs for granted. We sit for hours at a time,which is extremely hard on the back.
Some back problem are serious,what can you do to get back in action is:
Spend a few days in bed if you are having more than mild pain. But don't lie around longer than that unless your doctor says so. Constant bed rest weakens muscles,which can make the pain worse.
Cool it: Several times a day, apply packs of ice wrapped in towels to your painful areas for sometime and repeat it several times.
Then warm it up: when the worst pain has died down, change your treatment to cold to hot. This will help improve blood circulation and allow the injury to heal more quickly.
Train your back to be ache resistant. Strengthen your back muscles and improve your overall flexibility.
Whenever possible, sit in chairs that provide good lower- back support and avoid back pain.

The whole truth of fruit juices

Sent by - S hruti Aggarwal

Despite all this good news about the health benefits of fruit juices.
People drink so much of it, wanting to be healthy. But the calories can be substantial.If you are going to have a glass of orange juice in the morning, have only two slices of toast instead of three. That’s one way to approach it.
Fruit juices also lack the fibre of the actual fruits themselves even if they contain pulp.This is why nutritionists recommend fruit juices become a part of your regular fruit intake but not replace whole fruits entirely. Combining whole fruits in a blender with store-bought juices is yet another way to boost the fibre content in your drinks.
When considering daily fruit intake, here are the rules:
No more than two fruit servings daily should come from juices.
Vary them throughout the week, while mixing in whole fruits. This way you will garner the double benefits of a healthy diet that’s convenient as well.
