Women who eat plenty of apples during pregnancy could be protecting their baby from developing asthma, according to research. The study, conducted by the University of Aberdeen and funded by the charity Asthma UK, also found that eating more fish in pregnancy lowered a child’s risk of developing allergic eczema. The researchers said they did not know why apples or fish had these benefits as it is difficult to link maternal diet and child health, especially as there are so many other factors affecting asthma and eczema.  They monitored the diets of 2000 women throughout pregnancy, and then looked at their child’s health over 5 years. The children of women who ate 4 or more apples a week during pregnancy were half as likely to develop asthma as those of women who ate less than one apple a week.  Women who ate a portion or more of fish a week during pregnancy had half a chance of having their child diagnosed with eczema. Dr Graham Devereux, one of the lead researchers, sa...

Ber is the Urdu name for the fruit of the treeZizyphus vulgaris, or mauritania or sativa and is called the jujube berry in English. It is also known as the Indian jujube or Chinese date. It has a brownish skin when ripe and smells a little like hops, with an astringent taste. These trees are believed to be native to Syria, but there is some evidence that they are also native to the Indian subcontinent.     In Pakistan the fruit can be found in the month of December, and it is sold then fresh, but can also be dried. In Europe the fruit was made into a cough medicine and tisane for medicinal reasons in times past.       In India the tree is sacred to Shiva and is known as “the tree which removes sorrow”, perhaps because of its sedative properties. It was depicted in the Ramayana so has been known for centuries in the subcontinent and was not a recently introduced species.     In Pakistan there are metaphorical uses forber as they say that if you...

Do you think you already know a lot about acne? Think again as you might be surprised that some of the things you've heard about acne aren't true. Myth 1- Acne only affects teenagers Fact- No! Even adults can develop acne for the first time. Teens definitely suffer from the problem more because of puberty. Myth 2- Acne occurs on dirty face Fact- Acne is a complex skin disorder that can't be boiled down to simply "dirt." It's likely that the connection between the skin condition and dirt was made because blackheads are, well, black -- but blackheads aren't caused by dirt, either. Myth 3- Scrubbing hard relieves acne Fact- Scrubbing acne too hard can actually inflame blackheads. A cleanser with ingredients like benzyl peroxide, salicylic acid and sulphur compounds can help clear the skin. Myth 4- Acne doesn’t need treatment Fact- Acne should not be allowed to “run its course”. Various advanced treatments are available to treat acne the initial...
