			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have all heard of the cold shower benefits but most of us aren’t aware that these benefits actually include. Actually, when someone tells you to take a cold shower in the morning, you may be quite surprised. However, cold showers really have certain health benefits. Check them below and you may even consider changing your opinion about the temperature of water.</p>
<p>First of all, cold showers are very beneficial for the circulatory system and thus for your general health. Cold water causes cutanerous vasoconstriction – it makes the blood vessels on the skin surface contract and push the blood to the inner body organs. This improves the circulation of blood in the body. In addition, the toxins are eliminated easier and then the heart starts working much better.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cold-shower.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-216" title="cold-shower" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cold-shower-300x261.jpg" alt="Cold Shower" width="300" height="261" /></a>Cold showers are also useful for the health and beauty of your skin and hair. Human skin and hair are covered with a layer of sebum that protects them from drying. When you have hot water showers this sebum is washed and your skin and hair are left unprotected. Thus, their health gets worse because the skin becomes dry and the hair becomes brittle. In addition, hot water makes the skin pores open up. When these open pores are exposed to air and dust, they may easily become clogged and this is not a sign for healthy skin. That is why cold showers are more beneficial for the health of your skin and hair than hot ones.</p>
<p>Some people claim cold showers may improve fertility in men. Actually, sperms are damaged by heat, so men are recommended to avoid exposing themselves to high temperature. If you have low sperm count you can try having cold showers regularly. After all, you can’t lose anything if you give it a try. You can only improve your health.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to increase sperm volume depends on several factors, including sperm quality, sperm quantity, and motility. Speaking of sperm quantity, an abnormally low volume is referred to as hypospermia. One cause for the lack of semen or low volume is ejaculatory duct obstruction. Low semen volumes can be the result of obstruction of the seminal vesicles which produce ¾ of the seminal plasma. Obstruction in the prostatic pathway may be due to low fructose levels. Sperm quality is determined by sperm structure and shape. Men are fertile if over 4 percent of their sperm has normal structure and shape. Normal sperm cells have a long tail and an oval head while sperm cells with small, large, crooked, or tapered heads and double or curled tails are less likely to achieve fertilisation. A third factor is motility. Sperm cells should be able to move on their own in order to reach the egg. Men are fertile if over 40 percent of their sperm is motile. As you can see, <a title="how to increase sperm volume" href="http://howtoincreasespermvolume.com/" target="_blank">how to increase sperm volume</a> and sperm quality depends on these 3 factors.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/sperm-volume.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-210" title="sperm-volume" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/sperm-volume-300x177.jpg" alt="sperm volume" width="300" height="177" /></a>There are some things to do to produce healthy sperm, but depending on sperm quality, quantity, and motility, your doctor may recommend surgery or hormonal treatment. What you can do is change your eating habits and lifestyle. First of all, it is important to watch your body weight. Extra pounds may lower your sperm count by disrupting the production of reproductive hormones. This increases the percentage of low-quality or abnormal sperm. Second, you must get plenty of exercise. Physical activity is also important for your overall health and reproductive health. Do not exercise to exhaustion because this can result in a significant drop of sperm quality and a temporary change in hormone levels. Manage stress because it interferes with the production of reproductive hormones. When thinking of how to increase sperm volume, remember that stress decreases sexual function.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people experience constant neck pain that worsen their health state. Unfortunately, most of them ignore it and don’t pay serious attention to it but neck pain can cause more serious health issues, so it shouldn’t be ignored.</p>
<p>The medical term for neck pain is cervicalgia. The neck is the part of the body that balances the skull and is always at work. That is why the muscles of the neck may often undergo stress and tightening.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/neck-pain.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-205" title="neck-pain" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/neck-pain-300x199.jpg" alt="neck pain" width="300" height="199" /></a>The most common cause of neck pain is damaged nerves. This health condition is characterized by damaged nerves that conduct the signal from the brain. The damage itself may a result of pressure or compression. Degenerative disc disease may also cause constant neck pain. This disease affects the discs in our back that are responsible for providing a kind of cushioning to the spinal column and reducing the impact in cases of injuries and dangerous movements. Certain injuries can also lead to neck pain. A sudden pain may be caused by a blow or a fall but this pain may later become constant. An inappropriate posture may also result in neck pain. If you remain in an awkward position for a long time, you may suffer from pain in the neck.</p>
<p>The symptoms of constant neck pain include headaches, pain in the back, stiffness, etc. There are also some less common symptoms, such as dizziness, pulsations, swallowing problems, glandular swelling, etc.</p>
<p>If neck pain is ignored and left untreated, it may become more serious and cause other health problems. Most often doctors prescribe pain killers to treat the pain. In severe cases people have to wear a cervical collar and to use cervical pillows. However, the treatment depends on the cause of the neck pain.</p>
<p>To prevent neck pain occurrence, you should avoid keeping your neck in the same position for longer periods of time. Also, don’t do quick movements and ensure you sleep in proper position.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A group of researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine have studied and collected the top five health related myths that doctors believe. Here are their findings:</p>
<p>Doctors often recommend drinking plenty of water every day. Some of them even tell us we should drink eight glasses of water daily. Studies conducted in 1945 claim that we need to drink a millilitre of fluids for every calorie we consume. However recent research has found out that we provide our bodies with the needed fluids from the food we eat or from drinking other liquids, such as tea, milk, coffee, etc. In order to maintain your health, you really need to drink fluids, and especially water, but you should not go to extremes.</p>
<p>It is often claimed that people use only 10% of their brains. However, the numerous studies haven’t found any proof of this claim. On the contrary, it has been proven that at any time there is no part of the brain that is absolutely dormant.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/doctor.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-201" title="doctor" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/doctor.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Your mother has probably told you that you can wreck your eyes if you read in dim light. However, according to doctors, there is no evidence that reading in dim light has a bad effect on the health of your eyes. Actually, you may feel your eyes a bit achy and dry but this feeling is just temporary.</p>
<p>One popular myth that even doctors believe is that as soon as you start shaving, your hairs will grow back darker and thicker. Newly grown hair is darker because it hasn’t been exposed to sunlight and it only looks thicker because the end of the hair has already been removed.</p>
<p>According to some health specialists cell phones interfere with medical equipment and this causes serious problems. However, independent studies have found that there are only 4% of incidents related to cell phones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Infants have very delicate health, so they require great care and attention. Digestive problems seem to concern parents very much and some of these problems can cause serious health conditions. Parents must have at least slight knowledge about the potential digestive problems their infants may experience because if they aren’t properly addressed, the issues may lead to unwanted and harmful health problems.</p>
<p>Diarrhea is one of the most common health issues related to the digestive system. Sadly, about 450 babies annually die because of diarrhea only in the USA. Diarrhea may be caused by some different reasons, including changes in the diet, used of antibiotics and infections. The most effective treatment of diarrhea in infants is rehydration.</p>
<p>Constipation is also very widely spread digestive problem in babies. It is the situation when the infant has hard bowel movements. Constipation is very easily found and treated at home. It may be caused by changes in the diet and intake of certain medicines. Consumption of fruits and foods rich in fibre can effectively deal with this health problem. However, if the constipation continues longer, you should consult a doctor.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/baby-colic.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-197" title="baby-colic" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/baby-colic-300x205.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="205" /></a>Another very common digestive problem in infants is vomiting. Mothers tend to mistake spitting for vomiting. However, spitting up is absolutely normal in babies after a mean, and in combination with a burp. Vomiting may be cause by a blockage of the stomach or the intestines. In some cases it may be a result of virus infections. This problem is not serious and disturbing if it happens once or twice. But if it persists you should consult a doctor because intensive vomiting may lead to dangerous health problems.</p>
<p>Baby colic is probably among the earliest problems in infants and some specialist say it is a digestive problem. It is believed that a massage of the abdomen is beneficial in cases of baby colic. It is recommended to consult a doctor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bad mouth taste is very uncomfortable and stressful but it may be a result of a serious health problem. That is why it is important to understand what causes bad taste in the mouth.</p>
<p>Pregnancy is one of the most common causes of bad mouth taste. The reason for this is the hormonal changes that occur in the body during pregnancy. Often bad taste leads to nausea and growing discomfort. Happily, bad mouth taste during pregnancy is only temporary. It can be felt very strongly during the first three months but will gradually disappear later on.</p>
<p>The usage of certain medicines may also cause the occurrence of bad mouth taste. Such medicines include antidepressants, anti-thyroid and neurological medication, drugs that contain zinc, etc. In case the bad taste becomes unbearable, you should consult your doctor and ask them to prescribe another medicine.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/bad-mouth-taste.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-193" title="bad-mouth-taste" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/bad-mouth-taste-300x246.jpg" alt="Bad Taste in the Mouth" width="300" height="246" /></a>Bad taste in the mouth may also be a result of dental problems, such as tooth decay, gun infections and diseases, as well as poor oral hygiene. You need to take a proper care of your teeth and to use appropriate dental products in order to avoid declined oral health and hence – bad taste.</p>
<p>Infectious oral virus is also among the causes of bad taste in the mouth. Mouth health problems, such as ulcers and fungal infections that are treated in time, also result in metal bad taste.</p>
<p>Acid reflux is a term used to define the regurgitation of stomach acid into the oesophagus. Acid reflux very often becomes the underlying cause of bad mouth taste. That is why bad taste is also described as acid taste. Acid reflux often occurs in cases of overeating, irregular eating or excessive consumption of spicy foods.</p>
<p>Bad taste in the mouth is often caused by certain health problem. That is why if you can’t discover the reason for bad taste yourself or if it continues for a longer period of time, you need to consult your doctor who will find out the reason and determine the treatment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As it comes to blood pressure, people often consider high blood pressure to be more dangerous for our health. However, low blood pressure is also very harmful and has numerous side effects. Low blood pressure is known as hypotension. We talk about hypotension if the blood pressure goes below 90/60 mmHg. In case this medical condition is not properly treated, it may have serious and dangerous health consequences.</p>
<p>The side effects of low blood pressure are mainly caused by the insufficient quantities of oxygen that go to the different body organs. Some of the health consequences related to hypotension include nausea, dizziness, fainting spells, heart and brain problems, effects on the kidneys, etc.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/low-blood-pressure.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-189" title="low-blood-pressure" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/low-blood-pressure-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a>Nausea is one of the most common side effects of low blood pressure. Nausea occurs because the brain doesn’t receive enough blood and oxygen due to the low pressure. In some cases nausea is followed by vomiting. Dizziness is another common result of hypotension and it is often seen in elderly people.</p>
<p>Fainting is very often caused by low blood pressure and it is a result of insufficient blood flow and oxygen scarcity in the brain. As blood pressure drops suddenly, people risk to get seriously injured because they lose conscious unexpectedly.</p>
<p>Low blood pressure may cause many serious cardiovascular diseases, including a heart attack because the heart can’t pump blood to the organs of the body. This happens because the flow of blood becomes very slow in cases of hypotension.</p>
<p>The brain is also seriously affected by the low blood pressure. As the brain can’t receive proper quantities of blood and oxygen, the nervous system may experience some complications, such as nerve damage, confusion, mental illness, etc.</p>
<p>Hypotension may also have effects on the kidneys. Their main function is to eliminate the toxins but low blood pressure may worsen the way the kidneys work. So, as a result, toxins may build up in the kidneys and cause serious health problems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sea salt has many different health benefits, but before we discuss them, lets first see how it is obtain and what the different between sea salt and table salt it.</p>
<p>Sea salt is an unrefined salt obtained by evaporation of sea water. There is one major difference between table salt and sea salt – their mineral composition. As table salt is refined, it lacks most of the minerals contained in it before the industrial processing. Thus, table salt contains 99,9% sodium chloride, while sea salt has only 98% of this compound. Sea salt contains around 80 other minerals, including magnesium, iron and sulphur. Thanks to its composition, sea salt has numerous health benefits in comparison with table salt.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/sea-salt.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-185" title="sea salt" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/sea-salt-300x200.jpg" alt="sea salt" width="300" height="200" /></a>One of the health benefits of sea salt is its ability to clear the sinus cavities because it is a powerful natural antihistamine. To relieve asthma symptoms, you need to drink one or two glasses of water and to put little sea salt on your tongue. In addition, sea salt can be used to clear the lungs of phlegm and mucus plugs.</p>
<p>Also, sea salt is very useful for the circulatory system because it can control high blood pressure and is able to regulate irregular heartbeats. Some scientific studies have found that regular intake of moderate sea salt amounts may reduce the risk of heart diseases and heart attacks.</p>
<p>Sea salt contains minerals that are very beneficial for the health and good appearance of the skin. Baths with sea salt are often used to treat psoriasis. In addition, sea salt is widely used in cosmetic products, especially in natural body exfoliants. Sea salt crystals are a popular ingredient of antiperspirants.</p>
<p>Another health benefit of sea salt is that it can regulate the levels of blood sugar. This makes it very useful for people who suffer from diabetes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people may be unaware that tomatoes are actually fruit and that tomato juice has numerous health benefits. There is hardly another fruit juice that is as beneficial as tomato juice. If you want to maintain you health in perfect state, then tomato juice is your best option. Tomatoes and tomato juice is famous as a nutritious drink with many advantages. Let’s take a look at some of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Food colouring has been widely used and its health effects have been greatly discussed, especially by parents who are worried how food colouring affects their children. The FDA in the USA refused to come out with a decision on colourings and their usage by children. However, there are arguments that the chemicals in food colouring are connected with hyperactivity as well as other health disorders. That is why many people and organizations want synthetic colours to be eliminated and not used in foods.</p>
<p>The USA is one of the few developed countries that don’t have strict regulations about food colourings and other food additives. In the UK food manufacturers have to use natural ingredients for colouring, such as juice. American authorities argue that they don’t have to impose restrictions because there are no proven facts about the connection between food colouring and certain food colourings.</p>
<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/food-colouring.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-172" title="food-colouring" src="http://healthybay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/food-colouring-300x206.jpg" alt="Food Colouring" width="300" height="206" /></a>However, the observations on the link between food colouring and behavioural changes are found back in the 1970’s. Organizations that want artificial colours to not be used in foods cite animal studies as a proof for the negative effects of these additions on human health. They claim that food colours are related to behavioural changes and physical diseases. Among the mentioned health issues are hyperactivity and even cancer.</p>
<p>Some of the dyes used in food industry have been banned because of their health effects. Thus green 1 was banned because studies have shown it is connected with liver cancer. It is also believed that red dyes cause hyperactivity in children. However, medical authorities claim that most artificial food colourings are absolutely safe in small quantities.<br />
Many parents prefer to eliminate foods that contain synthetic colouring from their children’s diet. Most of the European countries start to adopt policies that ban dyes and remove them from foods.</p>
