Drinking too much water is bad?

Since grade school we are thought by our Science teacher to drink plenty of water because it is good for our body but recently I have read online that drinking too much water is not healthy as what is believe to be.

Well these past few days I am drinking a lot of water  because I frequently got  headache and occasionally felt pain in my left waist when I ate salty food. After few days I have feel few changes on my body. I feel like I lose weight and my stomach became smaller than before, the only thing I don’t like I have to go to the bathroom frequently especially at night.

But according to recent studies drinking a lot of water is not healthy at  all because it can lead swelling of the brain when your body salt levels drop (hyponatraemia) and can cause kidney damage instead of preventing it. So the question is, how many glass of water we should really drink a day?

Feeling Cold During Menstruation

These past few days I am not feeling well before and during my menstruation period. I felt so cold even it is warm, I already wear socks, sweat shirt and long pants but I am still feeling cold. The coldness is not from the room temperature I know it is coming from my body, so I decided to take iron supplements  it’s been a while since the last time I take this supplement because I am afraid of getting overdose from it.

After I took the supplements my body started to feel warm and my menstrual cramps didn’t bother me so much, I think I am really anemic.  I should try to increase my iron intake and change my diet, I should eat red meat and other green leafy vegetables like moringa but sad to say it is not around here.

Katinko Ointment

My lower back is disturbing  me these past few days. I think it all started when I sat on the floor again and yesterday we did some squats and few leg exercise that irritates it more. Last night the pain made me restless I am just thankful that I brought a Katinko ointment with me, I rub the ointment on my back and it helps a lot so I can sleep and when I wake up the pain is gone.

I first discover Katinko ointment when I have  a colds and itchy cough, one of my cousin told me to buy Katinko ointment because it is proven helpful by their family. So I bought my first Katinko ointment in a local pharmacy and rub it on my back, it gives a hot soothing sensation and when I inhale the ointment it helps me to breathe well and clear my clogged nose.

Aside from treating colds Katinko oitment can also be used for skin itch and insect bites, I have proven it many times  it stop  me from scratching my skin when I had insect bites. Katinko ointment an also be used for temporary ache and muscle pains,  neck and shoulder stiffness, rheumatism, back pain, flatulence, insect bites, bruises, colds,  sprain, sea sickness and headaches.
