Urine is falsely praised as a miracle cure, but its toxic content reveals a darker truth. In reality, it is a toxic waste product that contains harmful substances and bacteria that can cause severe health complications if ingested. Why is urine poisonous? First and foremost, urine is the body’s way of eliminating toxic waste products, such as urea, creatinine, and other harmful substances. These toxins are produced as a result of the body’s metabolic processes and are meant to be excreted, not ingested. Drinking urine would reintroduce these toxins into the body, causing harm and potentially leading to organ damage.…
Experiencing heartburn during pregnancy is a common issue. Alternatively, as you prepare to give birth, the relaxation of muscles can ease the opening between your oesophagus and stomach, allowing stomach acid to make its way up. This discomfort, often characterised, by a burning sensation in the chest, can make everyday activities challenging. What is heartburn? Heartburn is a burning sensation that feels like it’s in your heart, but isn’t really. It’s in your esophagus, the swallowing tube that runs alongside your heart. The feeling is caused by acid refluxing up from your stomach. It’s treatable. How to alleviate heartburn Fortunately, there…
Prolonged pelvic pain, with no swelling, can be a sign of a hidden hernia. Read on to learn about the causes and treatment of the health issue. Pelvic pain can be a nightmare for any individual, especially when one is unsure about what possibly is causing it. Even though there are many potential reasons for pelvic pain, one very common reason that usually stays undetected is a hidden hernia. In that matter, understanding what a hidden hernia is and how you can get it treated is a must. What is a hidden hernia? It is also called an occult hernia,…
Vitamin B6 is another essential nutrient that is majorly responsible for production of energy in the body. Read on to understand how these warning signs indicate of its deficiency. Vitamins and minerals help in the optimal functioning of the body. There are several signs that the human body emulates indicating the deficiency of certain vitamins. One important vitamin is B6 that is majorly responsible for the production of energy. It is all necessary for enhanced metabolism, immune function, and the production of neurotransmitters. A deficiency in this essential vitamin can lead to a range of health issues. Fatigue, headaches etc…
The results of a new large-scale study published in The BMJ suggest that a relatively new diabetes drug might reduce the risk of developing dementia in people with type 2 diabetes. People who have type 2 diabetes are at an increased risk of developing dementia. A recent study investigates how a diabetes medication may affect this risk. The scientists behind the study focused on sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, which they found significantly reduced dementia risk compared with another diabetes drug. The longer an individual had been taking the drug, the greater the protective effect was. Taking SGLT-2 inhibitors was associated with a 35% lower…
Persistent headaches have become common. But it is not just because of seasonal allergies, it may very well indicate towards a looming eye problem. Constant headaches have become seemingly common.

Some mild, some severe and some fleeting. While the causes for headaches can be manifold, eye problems are among the most common causes of headaches in the young. Here is how to identify when your headache is due to eye…
We have many classes of seeds. The Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) seeds, hybrid seeds, organic seeds and heirloom seeds. Let’s look at the differences between them? GMO Seeds GMOs stands for Genetically Modified Organisms. In other words, GMOs seeds are created in labs for desirable traits by injecting seeds with genes from another plant. Some of these traits could withstand drier weather conditions or harmful insects. Unlike hybrid seeds that are products of cross-pollination, GMOs seeds are generated in labs via gene modification. GM corn and cowpea (beans) These seeds are generally purchased by commercial farmers for producing crops on…
Earthworms and their marine cousins, bloodworms, can look a lot alike. So much so that if you grab a container of bait worms from a tackle shop, you’d be forgiven for not knowing whether they came from soil or muddy seabed. But you’d scarcely think they were relatives from the arrangement of their genes, new research suggests. That’s because the group of earthworms that wiggled out of the ocean hundreds of millions of years ago—members of the class Clitellata—have completely reorganized their genes, landing many in new spots along their chromosomes. In terms of genome structure, a bloodworm looks more…
“Nigeria today has the second-highest rate of food insecurity on earth, and climate change is only accelerating the problem,” Gates remarked. “Arable land has disappeared. Pests have wiped out harvests. And prices for staple foods have soared. Climate-related losses on many African farms are more than double those seen globally. The poorest farmers are the ones hit hardest, having to cope with more droughts, pests, and diseases, which in turn exacerbate food shortages and push up food prices.”
