What Is Your Face Trying To Tell You?

What Is Your Face Trying To Tell You?

We always notice any changes to our face straight away. After all, it’s the part of our body that we instantly see in the mirror! As the skin on the face is particularly sensitive, there can often be changes to the pigmentation, and new blemishes may appear. But are they something you should be worrying about? You just need to understand what your face is trying to tell you, and then you will know whether you need to book an appointment with a doctor…

Puffy Cheeks And Jowls

If you notice that your cheeks and jowls seem a lot puffier than normal, it’s a potential sign that you have been including too much gluten in your diet. So, you can reverse these symptoms by cutting down on things like white bread, pasta, and pastry. However, it might take a couple of weeks for the puffiness to totally go away. If you need an instant remedy, you should apply some rosehip seed oil to the skin as this has been proven to calm down any inflation.

Constant Cold Sores

Do you always suffer from cold sores? These are small blister-like irritations that occur along the lips. You will normally experience a burning or itching sensation before the actual sore develops. The sores are caused by the herpes virus and will repeatedly appear if treatment doesn’t completely remove the virus. Are you asking yourself “can herpes be cured?” Lots of people wonder the same as there are lots of myths surrounding the virus. Thankfully, though, the virus is easily cured once you start taking the correct medication.

Drooping Face

If you ever notice that one side of your face is drooping down, you should call for an ambulance straight away. That’s because this is a sign that you are having a stroke. Usually, a drooping face appears alongside other symptoms, such as a difficulty to speak and blurred vision. But even if you only experience a drooping face, you should still seek medical help as sometimes the symptoms don’t manifest together. Plus, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Pale Patches On Your Skin

You should never ignore any pale patches that appear on your face. These are a sign that you are suffering from Vitiligo. This disease can affect the skin all over the body but, more often than not, it appears on the face, neck, and hands. Sometimes, it can also be found on the scalp. It is important you get checked out if you think you have Vitiligo as if it is left to develop it can increase your chance of developing diabetes and other serious conditions.

Puffy Eyes

Do you wake up every morning with very puffy eyes? Don’t worry; it just means you aren’t getting enough sleep! Try to go to bed an hour earlier, and you will find that you wake up feeling a lot more refreshed and with a lot less puffiness around the eyes!

So, next time your skin is trying to tell you something, you need to listen!

What You Need to Know if You’re Injured at Work

What You Need to Know if You’re Injured at Work

Getting Injured at work is something no one wants to happen, but if you have ever been involved in a work-related accident then you could be eligible for some sort of financial compensation.

Accidents at work come in all shapes and sizes and all levels of severity, but if you have suffered an accident, due to your work environment and it is affecting your time at home, with your family, carrying out everyday tasks, and even preventing you from going back to work, you should be taking action.

Knowing what you are entitled to when it comes to work-related injuries or accidents, can be rather confusing, so follow our step-by-step action list on what to do should this ever happen to you.

Report all Details

Should you ever be involved in a work accident, where you sustain a major or even a minor injury, the best thing to do immediately afterward is to make sure that you report down all the details. You will want to note down all the details of the accident, a wet floor with no caution cone, a hidden step with no sign, or a car accident where you were carrying out a work-related task. You will want to get all the necessary details down as it is very easy to forget the finer details as time goes by.

All employers should have something called an ‘accident book’. Some employers may be unaware of this, but nevertheless, from your perspective, it should exist. Your employer has an obligation to report all work-related incidents and accidents to the local authority. This is to go some way in ensuring that the same thing doesn’t happen again and that local authorities are monitoring any incidents that happen in the local area.

Personal Injury Claim

Once you’ve figured out why your accident happened you will need to get the ball rolling with your personal injury claim. A personal injury claim is possible for anyone that has been hurt or injured as a direct result of a fault within the work area. So if you are unsure whether you are eligible or not, the best thing for you to do is contact a personal injury lawyer in your area and talk them through your accident and the injuries you have sustained as a result. They will be able to talk you through your rights, and what they think you are entitled to and will be able to talk you through the process.

Who is Responsible?

The blame has to lie somewhere. With any accident, there is a party that has to take responsibility. So after recording all details of the accident and contacting your personal injury lawyer, you will need to be finding out who is to blame for it. Your employer has a legal obligation to ensure top-level health and safety for all their staff, and also their visitors, and all companies should be carrying out regular risk assessments. When this is not done properly, accidents happen and people’s health suffers, so you will need to look into the reasons why your accident happened and then, therefore, who is to blame.

6 Simple Lifestyle Swaps That Will Improve Your Health & Wellbeing

6 Simple Lifestyle Swaps That Will Improve Your Health & Wellbeing

https://www.pexels.com/photo/berries-blur-close-up-focus-236723/

Do you want to be healthier? No, not just a feel like you’re living a better life, but feel healthier in yourself, look happier and know that your body is benefitting too? Well, you might think that you have to completely overhaul your life, but that isn’t necessarily true. Yes, there are common ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’ that go alongside a healthy lifestyle journey, but you don’t have to go cold turkey to see the benefits. Instead, you just need to think about making realistic changes that can last a lifetime. If you want to have better levels of general health and wellbeing, here are a few simple swaps you can make in your lifestyle to reap plenty of rewards.

Soda For Water

We all know that we have to drink more to keep our hydration levels up, but that doesn’t necessarily mean increasing the amount of caffeine or sugary drinks you consume. Even if you love coffee or soda, try to swap one drink a day out for some water. Your body will thank you for it – and you will even get better skin. Then, you can slowly switch the balance, so you’re drinking more water than anything else.

Added For Natural

It’s not always easy to know when you’re consuming added sugar, but you will definitely notice that your body feels awful when you eat badly. So, you could try to stay away from sources of added sugar and go for more natural food choices instead, like fruit and vegetables over processed foods.

Toxins For None

This one might throw you off, because you may not think that you knowingly expose yourself to any toxins, but there are many ways that you do. The most obvious way that you do that is through smoking, so you may want to try out vape alternatives or even to cut back and quit altogether. Secondly, there’s also alcohol that is a toxin, which you may want to switch to non-alcoholic alternatives. Lastly, there’s also beauty products with chemicals in that you can switch to natural.

Passive For Active

You may also find that you allow yourself to become as passive as possible in life. If you work in an office, it’s easy to forget how to be active. So, you may want to start moving more in any way that you can. Whether that means walking more and driving less or taking up a new fun activity that you can enjoy.

Allergens For Organic

There’s also your home to consider too. You may not know it, but a healthy home can boost your own health. So, you may want to think about the allergens you can take out of your home to replace to organic options, like fabrics, cleaning products and even ways to reduce pet allergies.

Stress For Serenity

And finally, there’s also your mind to think about. Stress is a huge harm to your life. So, you’re going to want to avoid it as much as possible. Mindfulness can help to calm you down in stressful situations, but you also need to have pastimes that relax you, like reading. You could also try out yoga to balance your stressful life.

Controlling Your Home Through Your Phone

Controlling Your Home Through Your Phone

We’re kind of in that day and age where our smartphones have become a detachable limb. We use them for everything: getting the latest news, handling work emails, booking holidays, keeping up to date with our friends and family and just about everything else you can think of. But another type of future is fast approaching, one where you can control our home from that little device that is nestled nicely in your pocket.

You may have heard of the Internet of Things already, and interconnected world that we thought was strictly reserved for sci-fi movies. So, to help you get around this a little bit more, we have come up with a list of ways you can already control your home with your phone.

Cooking Is A Dream

Smart ovens are now a thing, which is good news for all those that love cooking and all those that loathe it. It is set to revolutionize the way you enjoy your cooking because your oven will know exactly how long everything will take to cook, send progress notifications to your phone, and even send a live video stream to your phone. If you still don’t believe that kind of future is here, then we recommend you check out the June Oven; your disbelieving eyes won’t believe what they are seeing.

Perfect Temperature

We want to enjoy the summer and winter months as best as possible, which means having a home that is a comfortable temperature and not having to worry too much about your energy bills as a result. But thanks to modern thermostats, which connect to your phone, panic stations are no longer a thing, as Farnen & Dermer can explain and install. There are now plenty of systems that let you control your home’s temperature remotely, meaning you can turn the air con off while you’re out or turn the heating on before you leave work so that your home is warm by the time you get home.

Perfect Mornings

If you’re anything like us then operating in the mornings without coffee is unfathomable. It’s only when you’ve had that first sip that your brain gets into gear and you realize you’ve put your trousers on back to front or something. If this is you then you need to get yourself a smart coffee maker, which is the most simple way to modernize your home. You just tap a button on your phone, snooze until you get a notification saying it is ready and then head down for the perfect morning.

Robot Cleaner

Dyson is the undisputed heavyweights when it comes to vacuums. They have innovated with everything and stayed ahead of the curve, and this is the case with smart tech as well. Let’s say you’ve got your in-laws coming around for dinner, but while you’re at work you suddenly realized that you can’t remember the last time you gave your home a good vacuum. Not only that but your mother-in-law is a stickler for that stuff. That’s where the Dyson 360 Eye becomes the ultimate cleaning aid. First off, you can control it remotely and, secondly, it can find its way around your home all by itself. Saviour.
