A Useful Medication For Shift Workers

Picture an autoworker that is tasked to work the graveyard shift indefinitely. While working he is working procedurally as he is supposed to but he is drowsy, fatigued, and easily distracted, all common effects of being overtired due to shift work.

Waist Management

Without doubt fat is the most despised of body tissues. However, according to a report last month in "New Scientist" magazine, fat deserves more love than hate.

Osteoarthritis is the wear and tear form of arthritis. It’s the most common of all joint disorders. In fact, osteoarthritis occurs not only in humans but just about all animals with a backbone – including fish, amphibians and birds.
