Myths About Health

Slide 2 of 30: False. Flu vaccine effectiveness varies on any given year but, on average, "science shows that the flu vaccine is about 60 percent protective at preventing the flu," says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, MD, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. "If you do get the flu despite the vaccine, the flu you get will be less likely to be severe, and less likely to result in hospitalization, pneumonia, and death," he says.

Slide 3 of 30: Nope. Cranberry juice and UTIs have been lumped together since forever, but the National Institutes of Health (NIH) says that cranberry products are not effective in treating a UTI if you already have one. While some research suggests that cranberry juice, extract, or pills might help prevent UTIs, there's not enough evidence for this, the NIH says.

Poem

Collecting Your Memories
By MwsR

It is sad sometimes
But it is so real.
The life we live all the time.
When there is doubt or fear, or pain
We go back to where we once were.
Finding comfort from the same.
It’s scary to think
For us to move on we need to collect our memories
Before they sink.
Often blinded by the once was
Too much can cloud our today’s.
But if you have to, to move ahead, or just because…
Then collect your memories
Express their feelings as best you can.
Be it in song, writing, or whatever sensories.

Scientists who study cat behavior call this distinctive paw action “kneading” and believe it to be a sign of a relaxed cat. My own cats knead before taking a nap near me. While they are kneading, they purr — one of them gets so relaxed, he sometimes drools. Kneading usually occurs near a favorite person.
