Lactose Intolerance or Dairy Sensitivity is not usually a serious medical problem.

As long as you avoid dairy in all its forms,   the symptoms will disappear.   But many people don’t know that they lactose intolerance or sensitive to milk;  all they know is that they feel lousy a lot of the time.

Milk drinkers are often full of mucus,  they tend to have more sinus infections,   coughs,  headaches,  ear infections,  post nasal drip,  and colds than non – milk drinkers.

Techniques to Help Control Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Posted in Fitness, Medical, Yoga on February 2nd, 2010 by Health & Fitness Guru – 1 Comment

Prescription tranquillizers such as  diazepam ( Valium )  aren’t all bad.  They can help you cope with acute anxiety.  When you take tranquillizers day by day to control chronic anxiety,  they can actually cause the very problem they’re suppose to treat.

That’s because tranquillizers are addictive.  Your brain and body may develop a physical dependence on them within 4 weeks of daily use.  Then, if you try to stop using them,  the inevitable period of physical withdrawal produces  anxiety.  Therefore if you have been taking prescription tranquillizers daily for more than 4 weeks,  you need a program to help you stop taking the drugs,  since the symptoms of sudden withdrawal can be overwhelming.
