Studies link it to eye strain, obesity, and even seizures. While neurological and psychological testing suggests that certain types of games can increase neuroplasticity, promote hand eye coordination, and even treat trauma. However, too much of a good thing is almost always bad for you. Between your phone, your work computer, and electronics at home, there’s always a screen available, and that can take its toll. Kids and adolescents are uniquely susceptible to video game addiction, but if you’re finding yourself spending hours in front of a screen, there are a few things you should watch out for. 1. Eye Strain Eye strain is an ongoing problem with our addiction to screens. It has even been given a name in the medical profession: Computer Vision Syndrome , or CVS.

We may have heard a lot of things about Cancer, there are different types of it and one of them is Colorectal Cancer . As the month of March starts the world also celebrates Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, an awareness campaign to promote Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening . CRC, tagged as the third most common cancer among Filipinos, following breast and lung cancer here in the Philippines. Almost all of these cancers start as abnormal growths in the lining of the colon and rectum called polyps. These polyps grow slowly and take around 10 years for some polyps to develop into cancer. Though not all polyps progress to cancer, the removal of these polyps reduces the risk of developing cancer. In addition, polyps and early cancer usually do not cause complaints, like rectal bleeding, constipation, and abdominal pain that are experienced by patients in later stages of cancer. "The Colorectal Unit at The Medical City aims to be at the forefront in Filipinos achieving to

According to surveys, the global organic food and beverage market is expected to reach USD 211.44 billion by 2020. More people are realizing the benefits of organic consumption and that they can still meet their daily dietary needs. With this being said, It's no surprise that going organic has multiple benefits that help us lead more healthy lives. Taking the more natural approach or 'going green' has even been proven to help conserve the environment and improve the lives of farmers. Indeed, the organic lifestyle is steadily increasing in popularity among more Filipinos. With the wide variety of organic produce, you can buy products from rice to dairy that has been produced in an organic way.

Some people think SLEEP is a luxury that they can't afford but for me, it's a necessity. It affects my mood if I don't get the necessary hours of sleep or I'll end up crawling back to bed and won't be able to finish any work. I also noticed that I suffered from stomach problems, mood swing, and high blood pressure during the times that I only sleep 2-3 hrs at night. When it comes to sleep, we always hear the range of  seven to nine hours  as the recommended average for adults.  According to figures, however,  60 percent  of individuals never reach this goal due to different factors, a trend that can wreak havoc on health and overall lifestyle. One of the most commonly pointed factors affecting sleep is work-related stress. According to a study that highlights the direct effects of work on individuals,  33 percent  of the participants identified lack of sleep as an effect of stress. This subject is what Uratex tackled during its recently concluded offi
