What Causes Leisure Sickness Syndrome?

Posted by admin on January 17th, 2012

It was Dutch psychologists Ad Vingerhoets and Maaike van Huijgevoort who came up with the possible existence of this condition. As the name suggests, this syndrome is characterized by a person falling ill or feeling so only or mostly when he/she is on a vacation or a weekend than when working. Having said that, it can be understood that workaholics may be the group of people who may exhibit the typical trait of the leisure sickness syndrome. According to some people, this condition somehow mimics the condition called Paradise Syndrome. While not officially attributed to be a real psychological condition, here the affected person bears a sense of dissatisfaction despite having accomplished all that he/she desired in life. Apparently, Ad Vingerhoets conducted a survey on about 2000 men and women who carried large workloads and felt very responsible for their work. He found that 3.2% of these people reported to have been suffering from this illness, when they had little to do.

Reported Symptoms

People who were reported to be suffering from this syndrome, exhibited symptoms such as feeling nauseous, experiencing headache, fatigue, migraines, muscular aches and pain, and even common infections such as cold and flu. Research indicates that this condition can have two manifestations. In one type, these symptoms immediately appear when the person shifts from a working environment to a leisure one which could be on a weekend, or may be before a vacation. In another type, this syndrome onsets in people who after giving up a busy life, decide to adopt a slow and quiet one.

What may happen is, when a person is overloaded with work, his/her body adapts itself to the stress. But the moment, the same person tries to make a transition to a relaxed setting such as a weekend, the body thinks that it is a let-down response thus, triggering stress and the symptoms mentioned above.

It has been reported that about 3% of both men and women seem to be affected by the syndrome. And this 3% consist of people bearing characteristics such as perfectionism, eagerness to always stay ahead in the race, over-developed sense of responsibility; in short, driven personalities. It may be said that, the immune system of such people works better when they are coping with stress in their work environment. Read the rest of this entry »

Birth Control Ring Information

Posted by admin on January 17th, 2012

The birth control ring is a hormonal contraceptive, which when placed inside a woman’s body, releases the hormones estrogen and progestin. These hormones not only prevent ovulation, but also thin out the lining of the uterus, making it nearly impossible for an egg to implant itself to the uterus, and bring about a change in the cervical mucus by thickening it, which does not allow sperm to pass into the uterus. They also bring about a change in the composition of the mucus, which refrains the sperm from permeating the egg.

Once you start using the ring, you should continue to use it for three consecutive weeks, and then discard it. Start using a new ring after exactly one week, during which you will most likely get your period. In the event the ring is outside your body for more than three hours at a stretch during the three weeks, its effectiveness decreases even after you insert it back and it may not protect you against a pregnancy. In such a case, you need to use another form of contraception for a week even after you reinsert it.

Advantages
The advantages far outweigh its risks, hence, is quite a suitable contraceptive. Let’s understand how beneficial it is in terms of a woman’s health.
•It works well for women who find it hard to remember to pop a pill everyday. It is much easier to use the ring as you need to insert it just once a month.
•The ring exposes the body to a lesser dose of hormones, as compared to the birth control pill, and is equally effective.
•Women experience shorter and pain-free periods once they are on the birth control ring. This also significantly reduces the chances of women suffering from iron deficiency and anemia, two of the most common causes of constant fatigue and weakness.
•Regular use of the ring can help clear up acne.
•The birth control ring proves to be very effective at preventing an ectopic pregnancy, since it inhibits ovulation. An ectopic pregnancy can, in some cases, prove fatal to the mother. Read the rest of this entry »

Tips to Reduce the Risk Associated with Ultrasonic Humidifiers

Posted by admin on December 22nd, 2011

The U.S. Environmental Protections Agency (EPA) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have conducted studies to figure out whether ultrasonic humidifiers actually have some health hazards or not. Results obtained confirm the dispersal of minerals and microbes into indoor air which is, without a doubt, a cause for concern. However, there is only limited information on this subject and requires further study.

Tips to Reduce the Risk Associated with Ultrasonic Humidifiers

Health risks of using an ultrasonic humidifier can be minimized by following a few precautionary measures. Tips given below are derived out of recommendations given by the U.S. EPA for the use of this appliance.
•Avoid using tap water for humidification. Instead, use distilled water or water with low mineral content so that white dust or a layer of minerals does not become a part of the household.
•Learn how to clean an ultrasonic humidifier and clean the appliance regularly to prevent microbial growth which gets dispersed in the environment.
•Do not let water stand in the reservoir for a long period of time as it will get contaminated. Use of contaminated water for mist production will ultimately contaminate indoor air.
•Maintain relative humidity not more than 50%. Anything above this limit will make the interior too humid and promote mold growth in the house. Read the rest of this entry »
