Ever experienced a sudden case of hiccups when you were having a hearty laughter session? So what causes those involuntary fits that interrupt your laughter and conversation when they attack you in their full power? Sometimes, when you laugh for an extended period of time, air rushes into your diaphragm because of improper breaths, which forces your body to expel the excessive air in a different way – hiccups. Laughter can also disturb the phrenic nerves, which connect the brain to the diaphragm, by abnormal breathing, which in turn leads to contraction of the diaphragm and eventual hiccups.
It is surprising that people can develop this life-threatening disease even if they have never smoked a tobacco product throughout their lives. Three major factors play a role– the environment, lifestyle, and genetics. Radon gas, a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that forms naturally as a result of the decay of radioactive elements can be an important environmental constituent. Spending a large amount of time in areas where one is exposed to secondhand smoke could increase the risk of falling prey to the disease. Individuals with a family history of lung cancer are also more likely to develop lung cancer themselves.
Long nails, especially in women, are often symbolic of beauty and grace. However, if not well-maintained, they can be an open invitation to diseases, pathogens or health problems. A study states that nails longer than 3 millimeters carry more bacteria and yeast under them which may cause pneumonia, urinary tract infections or blood stream infections. It recommends one to be extra-attentive while washing hands or to simply keep nails short. That someone desirous of keeping long nails however, must keep them clean at all times, isn’t a nail-biter (though that is NOT how we recommend you to trim them)!
Almost 80% people are over brushing their teeth, although the damage caused to the teeth depends more on your toothbrush and your technique of brushing rather than how often you brush.

This is the reason that it is necessary to replace your toothbrush often. Also, learn the proper technique with a little research online or from a dentist.
