This is an attempt to compile all interesting facts or snipets on health and nutrition and i will try my very best to update this regularly........be enlightened

Do you know?

1. Taking regular naps in the afternoon raises your risk of diabetes. In addition, daytime napping tends to disrupt night-time sleep, and again those who sleep for just a few hours a night are known to have a greater chance of developing diabetes.

2. A too-tight shirt collar might be an indicator of future heart troubles. Doctors have long measured fats in the abdominal area as an indicator for cardiovascular diseases and now, the fats around the neck is also shown to be closely associated with cholesterol levels and diabetes. Got a thick neck?.........go exercise boy!

3. The hotter the weather, the more severe the headaches. Many of us can relate to this, seeing that the Malaysian weather is usually hot and humid. It is believed that warmer weather leads lower blood pressure and there is good evidence migraines are related to changes in blood flow around the brain.
