How to get rid a small bump on eyelid?

Category: Healthavinashsing @ 2:00 pm

Small bumps on the eyelid are normally styes. A stye is like a pimple that can appear red and swollen and it is basically an inflamed oil gland on the edge of your eyelid. It is caused by bacteria on the skin that get into the hair follicle of the eyelash.

To get rid of the stye (small eye bump), apply warm compresses for 10 mins, 4 times a day. The stye should disappear within 2 days.

To avoid styes always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the skin around your eye!

Are crisps any good to our health?

Category: Healthavinashsing @ 6:09 pm

Many people like eating crisps - whether at work, school, having a picnic, on the bus or anywhere else. These very handy snacks are very tasty to the mouth and soothing for the hungry stomach. But how good are they really to our overall health?

The British Heart Foundation has found that eating a packet of crisps a day is almost equivalent to pouring 5 litres of cooking oil down your throat every year. Now if that figure doesnt shock you, i dont know what will then?

So if you’re looking to lose weight, beware of those nice little snacks called crisps as they can be adding back again those calories that you spent so hard in the gym to lose!
