Yes. When cold foods and liquids come with the roof of the mouth, they trigger a reaction in the fifth cranial nerve, a branch of which runs form the mouth’s surface to the head and is primary nerve responsible for sending headache pain. Not everyone however experiences “ice cream headache”, which something of a mystry, although studies have shown that about 90 % of ice cream headache sufferers are also prone to migraines.

To alleviate the problem, eat or drink cold foods slowly, warming them in the front of the mouth to cool gradually. Its the initial “shock” of the cold that causes the pain.

RAISING THE STEAKS

How do you prefer your meat – chopped or ground to a paste?

Your choice could make all the difference between life and death. Because studies suggest that highly processed meats could lead to cancer of the pancreas. Of 190,000 people, those who reported eating the largest quantities of hot dog, sausages and other processed meats had the highest rates of pancreatic cancer. The blame may lie with carcinogens that develop during processing or cooking, rather than with the meats’ high fat and cholesterol contents, says study author Ute Nothing, PhD. Lower your risk by buying, cooking and eating meat in whole pieces – chunks from a single animal.

Why it happen? - As burns and other skin injuries heal, “remodeling” occurs: Dead tissue breaks down and makes space for healthy tissue and nerves and blood vessels grow along with this new tissue. Once the hard scar tissue forms, nerves are trapped and may be tickled when the tissue stretches or bends. Moreover, the fibroblast cells that make up scar tissue can release chemicals that trigger itch nerves.

The Solution - This itching is a sign of healing, so feel encouraged. But if the power of positive thinking does not do the job, try an over-the-counter soothing lotion that contains camphor and menthol to help numb the surface of the irritated area.

Being intelligent may have helped you move faster up the corporate ladder; it may even have made you rich. But intelligence doesn’t guarantee that you will be happy, says a report in the British Medical Journal.

In the study, 550 participants took the same IQ test at ages 11 and 79. As seniors, they also completed a satisfaction with life scale. The results showed that happiness late in life had no correlation with IQ. The author say that intelligence can be mixed with blessing: On the one hand, it can help you succeed, while on the other, it can make you more aware of how much you still haven’t achieved.

Clipping a pedometer onto your waistband in the morning can make active – even if you don’t “exercise”.

When a group of sedentary people were given a daily goal of “10,000 steps of brisk activity”, their improvements in fitness level, blood pressure, and body aft over 2 years were comparable to those of a group that followed a traditional gym-based aerobic programme.
The pedometers made counting steps easy and fun, and acted as a motivational tool by providing immediate feedback.

“Most people are shocked to realize that they are sitting for 12-14 hours a day and taking an average of only 2,000 to 3,000 steps,” says Andrea Dunn, PhD, of The Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas. Once the participants realized this, they started changing it by taking stretch breaks, walking in airports and railway stations, using rest rooms on other floors and pacing the sidelines of their children’s soccer fields. “The pedometers make it a game to get you moving,” says Dr. Dunn.

Even if you walk regularly, you are probably not hitting 10,000 steps, which is about 5-6 miles. That’s why it’s important to be active all day long. If you are trying to lose weight, you may need to up your tally to around 18,000 steps.
