CDC Recommendation: Shingles Vaccine to Adults, Age 60 and Older discuss this article
© gruntzooki Shingles is a condition that can cause debilitating chronic pain. Shingles (herpes zoster) is an outbreak of rash or blisters on the skin that is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox - the varicella-zoster virus. The first sign of shingles is often burning or tingling pain, or sometimes numbness or itch, in one particular location on only one side of the body. After several days or a week, a rash of fluid-filled blisters, similar to chickenpox, appears in one area on one side of the body. Shingles pain can be mild or intense. Some people have mostly itching; some feel pain from the gentlest tou...

Chromium Ingredient May Lower Blood Pressure discuss this article
According to a new study in mice supplements of niacin-bound chromium(III) may reduce blood pressure, thereby offering benefits to cardiovascular health. Results of the new study indicate that niacin-bound chromium III (NBC) may act as an ACE inhibitor, which work by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II, thereby improving blood flow and blood pressure. ACE inhibitors made by drug companies have been found to be beneficial in treating hypertension, particularly in patients with type-1 or type-2 diabetes, and also appear to provide good cardiovascular and renal protection...

“Mad Pride” movement seeks to destigmatize mental illness discuss this article
On May 11, in the midst of Mental Health Awareness Month, The New York Times ran a provocative article titled ‘Mad Pride’ Fights a Stigma, which reported on the burgeoning movement to destigmatize mental illness through proud – if not downright aggressive – acceptance, rather than shame-based avoidance. Taking their cue from other previously marginalized groups such as gay-rights activists, some advocates are going public with their mental health stories, using books and online blog and video posts.

The Savvy Secret Of Sunscreen discuss this article
Andrea’s stumped by sunscreen: I was shopping today and realized just how many sunscreen options are available today. Neutrogena has a whole line of face sunscreens with SPF ranging from 45-80! How do I know how much SPF I really need? Fore Brain’s fast answer: The quick answer is that SPF (aka Sun Protection Factor) is generally a multiplier of your skin’s ability to resist burning. So if normally your skin burns after 12 minutes of sun exposure, applying sunscreen with an SPF 10 will increase the exposure time to 120 mins before you will get burned. This should help you pick out a proper SPF for your skin. Unf...
