Mosquitoes can be found in tropical areas. My daughter was also hospitalized because of Dengue, a mosquito borne disease.That's why I become more vigilant when it comes to mosquitoes.

October last year, my husband is complaining about the severe pain in his stomach, he thought he was only constipated but we're wrong. His doctor advised him to be tested. He was diagnosed with a Fatty Liver. We are still thankful that it was only in stage 1, so we can still do something to reverse it with proper diet and help. More often than not, you think that eating healthy, exercising regularly and avoiding alcoholic drinks are enough to keep your liver protected, but no. That is not enough. When you get older, you will be exposed to complications and sometimes, the liver will be the one who will suffer when you left them unprotected. The liver regenerates and heals when it is damaged but if it was abused too much, it might catch liver diseases or worse, liver cirrhosis! Make sure you have a protection for your liver and that is in the essence of liver protecting capsules like LiverMarin! LiverMarin by ATC Healthcare is specifically made to aid our liver

A few months ago, I notice  that my hair becomes so dry and  i  found  a lot of hair in our bathroom after I showered. Every time  I comb my hair  there are few strands of hair on it. I  worried and decided to buy stuff like shampoo and conditioner that promises to treat hair loss but nothing works out for me  Later, I realize that the best way to  treat it is to know what is the cause of it. Other than your face, your hair is one of the first thing that other people notices, this very reason is why most people take extra effort in caring for their mane, but are you doing enough? A hair salon is one of the usual places that a person would go to whenever they need to have their hair fixed, this is typical if you just need a relief from a bad hair day or to mend your split ends. What if your hair needs a more extensive solution such as for your hair loss? Several factors can cause hair loss and understanding your lifestyle pattern may help remedy your condition. •
