Relieving pain with Acupuncture

Acupuncture, a traditional Asian practice, is now used in the West to treat various conditions like pain and headaches.

It involves inserting fine needles at specific body points, potentially releasing pain-killing endorphins and affecting mood-related serotonin.

Variations include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean acupuncture, differing in needle depth and manipulation.

Generally safe with low complication rates, acupuncture's effectiveness for pain relief has mixed evidence.

When considering acupuncture, choose an experienced, ideally certified practitioner.

Fruit is a key part of a healthy diet, offering both nutrition and taste

Experts recommend incorporating fruit into your daily diet, aiming for about 2 cups per day on a 2,000-calorie diet.

Pairing fruit with protein or fat can enhance satiation and balance blood sugar levels.

Nutritious options include adding fruit to oatmeal, creating energy balls with dates and nuts, or topping pancakes with fruit.

The "Devil Comet" (comet 12P) is anticipated to erupt again around December 29 or 30, following a 15-day eruption cycle.

This cryovolcano comet, approximately 18.6 miles in diameter, experiences outbursts when the sun heats its surface, leading to the release of gas and ice.

The last significant eruption on November 14 made the comet much brighter.

Its eruptions have historically caused "horn-like" formations in its gas cloud, though recent activities have shown less pronounced horns.
