Forget about the various creams available in the market that promise blemish-free and fair skin. If you really want soft, smooth and flawless skin, chemical peels are the safest bet, say experts.

published 135 days, 12 hours, 30 minutes ago posted by

Archi_003 137 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes ago

Using insulin to treat diabetes could be harmful if the patient has chronic high blood pressure (BP), says the latest research. Insulin is a hormone that controls the levels of glucose, a key source of energy, in our blood via its effects on the liver, muscle, and fat cells. How insulin affects the heart is not very clear, animal studies suggest that insulin protects the heart from stress, whereas clinical studies suggest a link between high levels of insulin in the blood and hear...

Parents' obesity tied to child's risk of becoming obese

Having two obese parents may substantially raise a child's risk of becoming obese, with mom's weight playing a particularly important role, a new study suggests. UK researchers found that among more than 7,000 2- to 15-year-olds in a national study, those who had two obese parents were 12 times more likely to be obese than children with two normal-weight parents. That was with factors such as socio economics -- gauged by parents' jobs -- and ethnicity taken into account. (more)
