Coconut juice not only a good thirst quencher, it is also good for reducing heat in the body. On hot days in the tropics when you feel sluggish and overheated, drink lots of young coconut juice. It will revive you and replenish your energies. In folk medicine, the fresh juice of young coconuts is also recommended for reducing fevers and relieving headaches, stomach upsets, diarrhea and dysentery, for strengthening the heart and for restoring energy to weakened bodies recovering from illness. It is believed that expectant mothers who regularly drink young coconut juice will help the fetus grow stronger and with greater vitality.
Does this info help? ;)
SONG OF THE DAY:
TITLE: IF I NEEDED YOU ARTIST: DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL
If I needed you Would you come to me Would you come to me And ease my pain? If you needed me I would come to you I'd swim the seas For to ease your pain.
In the night forlorn The morning's born And the morning shines With the lights of love You will miss sunrise If you close your eyes That would break My heart in two.
The lady's with me now Since I showed her how To lay her lily hand in mine Loop and Lil agree She's a sight to see And a treasure for the poor to find.
If I needed you Would you come to me Would you come to me And ease my pain? If you needed me I would come to you I'd swim the seas For to ease your pain.

A friend of mine asked me, what is the cause of migraine headaches? Well, I am curious myself so I did a little research on migraine and "copy & paste" the information that I have (plagiarism at its best..hehe). No worries, I'll cite the sources ;).
What are migraine headaches?
Migraines are disabling headaches that most likely stem from problems with the nerves and blood vessels in the head. Migraine headaches typically last from 4-72 hours. They may occur as often as several times a week to only once a year. People who have migraines are called migraineurs.
Migraine headaches affect about 15% of the population. Three times as many women as men have migraines. Over 80% of migraineurs have family members who have migraines. The following types of migraine headache have been identified:
Migraine without aura (common migraine): This type accounts for 80% of migraine headaches. There is no aura before a common migraine.
Migraine with aura (classic migraine): This type is usually preceded by an aura and is usually much worse than a common migraine. Most often, an aura is a visual disturbance (outlines of lights or jagged light images).
Status migrainosus: This is the term used to describe a long-lasting migraine that does not go away by itself.
What causes migraine headaches?
No one fully understands the exact cause(s) of migraine headaches. Many experts think that a migraine begins with abnormal brainstem (a part of the brain) activity that leads to spasm (rapid contraction) of blood vessels in the cerebrum (main part of the brain) and dura (the covering of the brain). The first wave of spasm decreases blood supply, which causes the aura that some people experience. After the first spasm, the same arteries become abnormally relaxed, which increases blood flow and gives rise to migraine headache pain. Certain chemicals normally found in the brain (namely, dopamine and serotonin) may be involved in causing migraines. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters because they transmit signals within the brain. Neurotransmitters can cause blood vessels to act in unusual ways if they are present in abnormal amounts or if the blood vessels are particularly sensitive to them.
Various triggers are thought to bring about migraine in people who have a natural tendency for having migraine headaches. Different people may have different triggers.
Certain foods, especially chocolate, cheese, nuts, alcohol, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) can trigger migraines. (MSG is a food enhancer used in many foods, including Chinese food.)
Missing a meal may bring on a headache.
Stress and tension are also risk factors. People often have migraines during times of increased emotional or physical stress.
Birth control pills are a common trigger. Women may have migraines at the end of the pill cycle as the estrogen component of the pill is stopped. This is called an estrogen-withdrawal headache.
How are migraine headaches treated?
Self-care at home
Most migraineurs can deal with mild-to-moderate migraine attacks at home. The following measures may help relieve migraine headache pain:
Using a cold compress to the area of pain
Resting with pillows comfortably supporting the head or neck
Taking certain over-the-counter headache remedies: Note that none of the following (with the exception of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine combinations) has been clearly shown to relieve migraine headache pain.
And now, let's put on your dancing shoes and bust your groovy moves with this song of the day.
TITLE: CLOSER
ARTIST: NE-YO
[Verse 1] Turn the lights off in this place And she shines just like a star And I swear I know her face I just don't know who you are Turn the music up in here I still hear her loud and clear Like she's right there in my ear Telling me that she wants to own me To control me Come closer [x3]
[Chorus] And I just can't pull my self away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop [x4] And i just can't bring myself away But I don't want to escape I just can't stop [x4]
[Verse 2] I can feel her on my skin I can taste her on my tongue She's the sweetest taste of sin The more I get the more I want She wants to own me Come closer She says come closer
[Chorus]
Come Closer [x7] I just can't stop no [x4]
[Chorus]
And I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop [x5]

SONG OF THE DAY:
TITLE: WHY ARTIST: SECONDHAND SERENADE
Buttons on my phone are worn thin I don't think that I knew the chaos I was getting in. But I've broken all my promises to you, I've broken all my promises to you.
Why do you do this to me? Why do you do this so easily? You make it hard to smile because You make it hard to breathe. Why do you do this to me? Me.
A phrasing that's a single tear, Is harder than I ever feared And you were left feeling so alone. Because these days aren't easy Like they have been once before These days aren't easy anymore.
Why do you do this to me? Why do you do this so easily? You make it hard to smile because You make it hard to breathe Why do you do this to me? To me, to me, to me.
I should have known this wasn't real And fought it off and fought to feel What matters most? Everything That you feel while listening to every word that I sing. I promise you I will bring you home I will bring you home.
Why do you do this to me? Why do you do this so easily? You make it hard to smile because You make it hard to breathe Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this to me? Why do you do this so easily? You make it hard to smile because You make it hard to breathe Why do you do this to me? To me, to me, to me.
