From August 1 till August 7, more than 120 countries are celebrating the World Breastfeeding Week. This celebration, which is endorsed by UNICEF, WHO and FAO began in 1992 in commemoration of the Innocenti Declaration that aimed to protect, promote and support breastfeeding around the world. Says World Health Organization, over 1.5 million babies die each year because they are not breast-fed.
With this week-long celebration, all the participating countries and organization hope to increase awareness on the importance of breastfeeding.

Who do you think are the slimmest? Meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians, or vegans?
Well, according to a new research, vegans have the slimmest waists!
The reason for this is not what they don't eat, but what they do.
It's not the meat & fat they don't eat, but its the fibers that they eat more than any one else, because fiber makes you feel full longer, and it seems to inhibit fat absorption.
So, this is one more reason for you to up your intake of fiber-rich fruits, veggies, and whole grains; a slim waist!

Everyone in the family rejoices when a new baby is born. But if the mother gives birth to twins or even more, there’s is no reason for not having a much greater celebration. The level of excitement certainly doubles as well. But in certain occasions, multiple birth doesn’t come as joyful as it does to most parents, especially when the twins are conjoined. Giving birth to conjoined twins could also mean multiple risks both on the part of the mother and the babies such as in the case of the Chinese twins conjoined from the chest to the lower pelvis. They underwent a complicated 13-hour surgery last July 6 in Shanghai, China.

Acupuncture is an ancient healing method. It was first used in China some 2000 years ago.

This method is mostly used to relieve pain caused by different health conditions such as high blood pressure, diarrhea, nausea, and migraine.
