Alcohol interferes with the brain's communication pathways and can affect the way the brain looks and works. Alcohol makes it harder for the brain areas controlling balance, memory, speech, and judgment to do their jobs, resulting in a higher likelihood of injuries and other negative outcomes. Alcohol-Induced Blackouts Alcohol misuse can cause alcohol-induced blackouts. Blackouts are gaps in a person’s memory of events that occurred while they were intoxicated. These gaps happen when a person drinks enough alcohol that it temporarily blocks the transfer of memories from short-term to long-term storage—known as memory consolidation—in a brain area called the hippocampus. Alcohol Overdose Continuing to drink despite clear signs of significant impairments can result in an alcohol overdose. An alcohol overdose occurs when there is so much alcohol in the bloodstream that areas of the brain controlling basic life-support functions—such as breathing, heart rate, and temperature control—be

This helps carry away waste products from the liver. All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. The liver processes this blood and breaks down, balances, and creates the nutrients and also metabolizes drugs into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body or that are nontoxic.

Good Source of Magnesium Many people have heard that fiber and fluid are good for relieving constipation, but did you know that magnesium—a mineral found in green peas—may also help? “One recent study looked at the diets and bowel habits of 9,519 adults and found that dietary magnesium was inversely associated with constipation. Those with higher dietary magnesium reported less constipation compared to those who consumed less magnesium through their diet,” says Dandrea-Russert, referencing a 2021 study in Food Science & Nutrition. Magnesium may have a laxative effect by pulling water from your body into your stool, improving stool frequency and consistency. Magnesium supplementation has been shown to relieve constipation for some time now, says Dandrea-Russert, but this is one of the first studies looking at dietary magnesium’s impact on constipation. Its results are promising; however, the study was observational so we can’t be sure that magnesium is what caused reduced constipati

Q. I get headaches constantly, but it seems like the men in my life get them less frequently. Are headaches more common in women? And if so, why? It’s true: Women get more headaches than men do. In fact, when researchers asked participants in  a recent national survey  if they were bothered “a little,” “a lot,” “somewhere in between” or “not at all” by a headache or migraine in the past three months, women were nearly three times as likely as men to report having been bothered “a lot.” Although there are likely many contributors, research suggests that one clear reason for the gender discrepancy is hormones. Other causes include: the combined pill (combined oral contraceptive pill) – some women find their headaches improve while they're on the pill, but others report more frequent attacks, especially in the pill-free week, when oestrogen levels drop the menopause – headaches usually worsen as you approach the menopause, partly because periods come more often and partly because the
