Healthy ways to enjoy your CHRISTMAS holiday

Christmas holiday is a unique holiday and a very special one. It comes at the end of the year, meaning that it comes at the right time to relax and stay away from the frustrations that the year was loaded with. It's also globally recognized thus your vacation plans won't clash with that of your overseas lover or friend. You should actually enjoy yourself to the fullest given that you will have to wait for 11 more months to see another Christmas. But question is, how will you enjoy it safely? There are two health parameters that you should aim at controlling as you enjoy your holiday. They include controlling stress levels and having a controlled diet.

1. Try touring
Touring has remained being the number 1 choice for anyone who respects the definition of the word holiday. Try hiking, ice skating, touring beaches, islands and zoos. As you are there, get yourself involved as much as possible so as to divert your stressed brain from normal issues that lead to stress like pressure at work, debt and hellish spouse.

Get to know new people and be curious to learn more. Simply put, get yourself involved. However, exercise caution while touring like avoiding dangerous spots when hiking and using life jackets when boat riding. Before visiting a place, investigate first if it will have negative impact on your health like avoiding cold and dusty places if you're asthmatic.

2. Eat rare meals
You might have heard that seafoods boost your sexual desire. This is the right time to get the

coast and try the trick on yourself. You can as well go to areas where you know there are healthy foods but are only found there. Show your belly some love this way instead of overfilling it with booze.

3. Undergo medical checkups
I don't mean that you should always wait until December for you to undergo checkups. Instead,

I imply that this is the right time to undergo checkups so that you can plan your next year with your health in consideration. If possible, carry your whole family so that they too can undergo the tests.

4. Travel upcountry
It might appear as a normal and useless practice, but in real sense it can have positive impacts on your health.

First, you will be away from your drunkard friends hence your frequency of visiting the bar will reduce as you will also want to show your parents how you are a good boy/girl. Secondly, some of the tourist destinations features might be in your Homeland so it will be like an added advantage. For example, if you come from coastal regions then you will enjoy the same priviledges as someone who is paying to get there. You will also meet your old friends that you have really longed to meet and as you share your childhood memories, you are relieving yourself of stress unknowingly.

5. Be active in sports and workouts
If you are a gifted sportsperson, then this is the time to put it into practice so that you regain your almost lost skills and fitness.

Incase you are not a real sports guy, don't worry, you can always do the morning and evening jogging as you visit the gym to become the most muscled guy at your workplace next year. You can as well go and cheer up Chelsea as they play Valencia because you might probably have really wanted to watch them live but you lacked time.

6. Go easy on booze
Christmas comes with booze-tempting moments. Even your own resistance to overdrinking can fail.
Every party that is held must be graced with some beer otherwise it won't be considered a party. Worse still, your friends really want you present so how on Earth can you resist? But with all these temptations, stick to your lane and have only one glass. Don't forget the Golden rule "DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE".

7. Visit children's homes
Set aside one day and go with your whole family to a children's home. Give them gifts and take selfie's with them so that they also feel they are being loved. Adopt one if you can.

8. Learn a new language
Luckily, there are many schools in towns nawadays that teach foreign languages. Join one and give your peers a hard time trying to understand what bonne nuit means in French.

Natural and artificial remedies for acne

Acne is a common skin condition that can affect individuals of any age group, although it is more commonly noticed among teenagers and young adults. Acne develops when the follicle that carries dead skin to the skin surface becomes clogged. While acne in most cases is inflammatory, it can also develop as non-inflammatory acne. It manifests itself as tiny pimples, papules, nodules, or cysts, as per the increasing nature of its severity. Typically, acne begins to show in the years following puberty, as this is when there are considerable hormonal changes that take place in the body. Acne is also common among women due to monthly hormonal changes. Acne affects those areas of the skin that have the most number of sebaceous follicles. Thus, it is primarily visible on the face, chest, back, upper arms, and shoulders.

Maggot therapy/ larval debridement therapy

Maggot therapy is a type of biotherapy that involves the use of live, disinfected maggots (larvae stage of flies) on a non-healing skin and soft tissues of human beings and animals. The purpose is to clean out the necrotic (dead) tissues within a wound. It is also called maggot debriment therapy(MDT). Medical uses Maggot therapy is applied for chronic ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers. A Cochrane review of methods for debridement of venous leg ulcers found maggot therapy to be effective over other methods like use of drugs. How it works Well disinfected maggots that are prepared in the labs are applied to a clean bandage then wrapped around a clean bandage. The bandage is then wrapped around the wound. The maggots will then feed on the dead tissues for two days during which the patient feels itchy and pain. The pain is suppressed by use of painkillers prescribed by the medic. After 2 days, the maggots have fed on the tissues and are ready to be removed. Their fatness ...
