Hot versus Cold Water
What will you prefer to drink – hot or cold water? Being universal solvent, water is essential for humans. But according to naturopath, drinking normal water, hot water and cold water has different effect on our body. First of all it should be noted that an individual must need to drink at least 10 to 12 glasses of water daily. Water should always be drunk at normal temperature – neither too hot nor too cold.
If one drinks water at least 13 minutes before taking a meal then it helps cleanse the stomach and sends a signal to the brain that the stomach is empty and needs food. On the other hand, many people drink water while eating – this is not a good practice, as it fills the stomach and thus the eating potential decreases considerably. And people who drink water after the meal is again a good practice, as it helps in digestion.
Drinking cold water is good in stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes and in strengthening stomach muscles. However, drinking too much cold water is not good, as it leads to hypothermia.
So drink lots of water –at least 15 glasses, as I mentioned earlier and stay fit and healthy. Most of the common diseases start from the stomach, and therefore cleaning is essential to avoid them.

What causes acne?
Several researches have been done on acne, but researchers have found that there are only a few causes of acne. It is one of the most common problems experienced by teenagers and adult groups. In some people, this problem remains for just few weeks, while in others it may linger for years.
Hormonal change during adolescence: It is the most vulnerable age when most teenage boys and girls face acne problem. During adolescent, secondary sexual characters bring several changes in the body such as the growth of body and pubic hair, change in the level of androgens, etc. Androgens are produced in high amounts and that result in secondary sexual characteristics. It has been found that if the androgen level goes up than normal then that causes acne. Androgen triggers hair growth and as a result sebaceous glands also produce more sebum for nourishment and to maintain moisture.
Bacterial growth: Our body harbors several bacteria – some are considered friendly while others are not. Among them, some bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis thrive in anaerobic environmental condition. If a plug like structure develops on the skin surface as a result of clogging of hair follicle by large volumes of sebum then it becomes a perfect thriving condition for the bacteria. These bacteria multiply quickly and lead to the development of pustules, which are very painful acne.
Harmful cosmetics: Almost every woman use cosmetics for beauty purpose, but they never bother to know the ingredients used in these beauty cosmetics. The damaging chemical present in several cosmetic products cause problems such as skin allergies. Non-comedogenic products are good for skin. Some harmful chemicals present in beauty products may cause acne as well. It is therefore, recommended to consult experts before buying beauty cosmetic products.

· Use Neem (Azadiracta) powder plus rose water and apply on the affected area for about 15 minutes everyday.

What is assisted liposuction?
Unlike traditional liposuction, assisted liposuction helps shape one’s body in those areas that cannot be targeted using controlled diet and exercise. These regions include saddlebags or protruding belly. The technique is readily being used to minimize fullness in abdomen, arms, hips, thighs, waist, and other regions of the body.
In case of traditional liposuction, anesthesia is first given to patients. A hollow tube attached to a vacuum is then inserted using a small opening into the area where excess fats are deposited. The tube is then moved around to disintegrate the fat and then they are sucked out of the body.
On the other hand, assisted liposuction uses advanced technology where medical laser beams are used to liquefy the fat, which is then sucked out of the body. Ultrasound assisted liposuction comprises of a cannula that vibrates quickly and gives off ultrasound energy. When the cannula is passed through the fat cells, the energy emitting from it, liquefies the fat cells, which are then sucked out of the body. The ultrasound can be run either above or below the skin surface.
Laser or ultrasound liposuction offers some advantages over traditional liposuction such as the use of sedation rather than general anesthesia. Less trauma and smoother skin are the results of this technology. However, it should be kept in mind that this is a new technology and only a few studies have proved the result than traditional liposuction. It is therefore, important to discuss the advantages and disadvantage of this new technology with the doctor.

In general, the cost includes surgeon’s fee, surgical facility costs, anesthesia fees, and medications cost. It is always advised to ask the surgeon about the total cost of the procedure.
