AMAZING UNTOLD FACTS ABOUT YOUR EAR....DON SCREAM YET, READ ON FIRST.
1. How earwax is like nose hair
Earwax is another of our body's mundane, under-appreciated, yet totally amazing protective devices. Like eyelashes and nose hair, earwax shields our body from outside invaders, including dust, bacteria, and other micro-organisms that can get in and irritate, inflame, or infect.
2. How earwax is like tears
Earwax lubricates our ears, in much the same way as tears lubricate our eyes. Without adequate amounts of earwax, our ears would feel dry and itchy.
3. Earwax cleans up after itself
Thanks to earwax, our ears are self-cleaning. Whenever you move your jaw or chew, you help keep earwax churning slowly from the eardrum to the ear opening, where it will then either dry up, flake off, or fall out.
4. Your ears are "no trespassing" zones
Since our ears are self-cleaning, we should never, ever stick anything in them! That includes those cotton-tipped swabs that seem perfectly designed to fit inside the narrow ear canal. Keep these swabs and any other objects - including your fingers - out of your ears. When you put something in your ear – to scratch an itch or to attempt to remove wax – you risk pushing wax further into the ear, where it can become blocked.
5. How earwax affects hearing
Blocked earwax is the most common cause of hearing loss. This can happen if wax is pushed back toward the eardrum or if the ears produce more earwax than is needed. Symptoms of impacted earwax include earache, feeling of fullness in the ear, a sensation that the ear is plugged, and tinnitus or ringing in the ear. Your ear may also itch, have an odour, or emit a discharge.
6. DIY ear cleaning how-to
If you suspect that your ears are blocked by excess earwax, you can seek a doctor's assistance in clearing it. Or if your ears are otherwise healthy (free of tubes or eardrum perforations), you can safely attempt to clear excess wax from your ears on your own.
• First you will need to soften the wax. A couple of times a day for a few days, apply several drops of baby oil, mineral oil, glycerine, hydrogen peroxide, or commercially available products into your ear canal.
• Once softened, the wax can be washed out. To do this, tilt your head to the point where your ear canal is straight and use a rubber-bulb syringe to gently sq**rt water into the ear canal. Tip your head to let the water drain.
• Dry your ear with a towel or a hair dryer set on the cool setting.
People with diabetes or weakened immune systems should consult their doctor before attempting this at home.

BREAKFAST, THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY. SKIP IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day - says Ms. Eileen - Nutritionist, Mumbai. If your entire breakfast comprises one cup of rushed coffee and a toast, then you're setting yourself up for an unhealthy future. This will affect your digestive system. Besides, it will also harm your energy reserves and negatively affect your metabolism. If you skip your breakfast, you are likely to eat more during the other meals and this can lead to weight gain. Eileen says - the key to a good breakfast is a balance of protein, fat and carbohydrates.
Studies show that eating a healthy breakfast (as opposed to the kind containing doughnuts) can help give you:
1. A more nutritionally complete diet, higher in nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
2. Improved concentration and performance in the classroom or the boardroom
3. More strength and endurance to engage in physical activity
4. Lower cholesterol levels

LADIES WATCH OUT!! THAT PAIR OF HIGH HEELS COULD DENY YOU AN ENJOYABLE 40s.
Wearing high heels can be fashionable and may make you feel taller, but at what price?
1. Back
The normal s-curve shape of the back acts as a shock absorber, reducing reduce stress on the vertebrae. Wearing high heels causes lumbar (low-back) spine flattening and a posterior (backward) displacement of the head and thoracic (mid-back) spine. High heel shoes cause you to lean forward and the body's response to that is to decrease the forward curve of your lower back to help keep you in line. Poor alignment may lead to muscle overuse and back pain.
2. Knees
Knee osteoarthritis is twice as common in women. Some of that blame may be due to high heels. The knee stays flexed (bent) and the tibia (shin bone) turns inward (varus) when wearing high heels. This position puts a compressive force on the inside of the knee (medial), a common site of osteoarthritis. If you already have osteoarthritis, it is best to avoid wearing high heel shoes. High heels increase the distance from the floor to the knee and can result in increased knee torque which can also lead to osteoarthritis.
3. Ankles
High heels limit the motion and power of the ankle joint. The calf muscles (gastrocnemius & soleus) are shortened because of the heel height. The shortened muscles cause them to lose power when trying to push the foot off of the ground. The position of the ankle may also cause a shortening (contraction) of the achilles tendon. This can increase the pull of the achilles tendon where it attaches on the back of your heel bone (calcaneus) and may cause a condition called insertional achilles tendonitis.
4. Feet
With the foot in a downward position, there is significant increase in the pressure on the bottom (plantar) of the forefoot. The pressure increases as the height of the shoe heel increases. Wearing a 3 1/4 inch heel increases the pressure on the bottom of the forefoot by 76%. The increased pressure may lead to pain or foot deformities such as hammer toes, bunions, bunionettes (tailor's bunions) and neuromas. The downward foot position (plantarflexion) also causes the foot to be more supinated (turned to the outside). This change in foot position changes the line of pull of the achilles tendon and may cause a condition called Haglund's deformity (pump bump).
WORD OF ADVICE: Save Your Feet
If your car tires are out of alignment, you can only drive so many miles before you are at risk of blowing a tire. The same is true for your body. Things need to be in alignment. It is recommended that you only wear high heels for special occasions and even then only a heel height of 1 1/2 inches. Your feet and body will thank you - and you'll save money on trips to the podiatrist's office.
