Save the planet

Unplugging appliances and switching off lights when they’re not in use are simple but tangible solutions to saving our planet. A climate and energy campaigner of Greenpeace, points out climate change as a serious environmental problem. The burning of coal in coal-fired power plants (where we get most of our electricity) emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, causing climate change.

Don’t wait for anyone to turn off the electric fan if it’s not being used. Each kilowatt wasted is an added problem for the planet – and an additional cost to our electric bill. If done regularly, these simple acts can become a habit, and eventually become part of a lifestyle change. Monitor your bills and you’ll see the rewards of your simple act.

Free Radicals!

Free radicals can play a hand in the aging process, and cause cancer and heart disease. The skin, being the body’s largest organ and also the most exposed, is vulnerable to free radicals hence, our concerns about premature aging and skin cancer.

Thankfully, antioxidants in our body weaken free radicals and help them at bay. Glutathione is the most abundant antioxidant in our bodies. It helps recycle vitamin C, the antioxidant that aids in collagen production, keeping our skin’s youthfulness. Together, these antioxidants work against the free radicals that would normally cause skin adamage. Alpha Lipoic Acid is another antioxidant known to regenerate Glutathione, which in, regenerates’ vitamin c.

Your Desk can make you sick

Your desk may be neater than your male colleagues’, but it probably harbours more germs. In a study of five offices in five cities, found that bacteria levels on women’s desk were nearly three times higher than on men’s. The probable cause: munchies in the desk drawers. Unwrapped foods like fruit, bagels, and cupcakes are havens for microorganisms. Men keep fewer snacks, and the snacks they do have – chips, candy bars – are usually wrapped. The more bacteria in your workspace, the more likely you are to get sick, so keep food sealed. Once a week, wipe down your desk, phone, and keyboard with a disinfectant.

Conception in a Nutshell

  • An egg is released from the ovary at around the 14th day of the woman’s cycle, and must be picked up by the fallopian tube.
  • Hormones produced in the woman’s ovary thin the cervical mocus, allowing the sperm to swin through the cervix, and into the womb and fallopian tubes.
  • Sperm survives up to 72 hours (three days) in the womb and fallopian tubes. Should intercourse take place at the time of ovulation, sperm will reach the egg in the fallopian tube. It only takes one sperm to fertilize the egg. The fertilized egg then travels down into the uterus where it is implanted in the womb’s lining.
  • Hormones from the ovary prepare the womb for receiving a fertilized egg. Once implanted, the hormone called progesterone maintains the pregnancy.
