Women are typically given 6 weeks to recover from pregnancy, but new research has revealed that the brain changes that occur during pregnancy can actually take 2-6 years to recover from, affecting memory, hormones and the woman’s stress response.

Forgetfulness, mental fogginess and difficulty concentrating are common complaints, sometimes referred to as “mom brain”. The massive changes in hormones like estrogen and progesterone during and after pregnancy affect brain chemistry.

Progesterone, in particular, can cause drowsiness and contribute to mental fog. Also, the chronic exhaustion that comes with caring for a newborn significantly impacts memory and focus.

Additionally, a mother’s priorities shift completely to her new baby, and the mental load of new responsibilities, anxiety, and stress can interfere with concentration and memory.

After childbirth, hormone levels like progesterone and estrogen, which were extremely elevated during pregnancy, drop dramatically and the hormone levels continue to fluctuate for months or even years while the body adjusts. These hormonal shifts, along with other life changes, can contribute to mood swings, anxiety and depression.

Furthermore, the body’s stress response undergoes significant changes during and after pregnancy. Pregnancy alters the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the body’s response to stress. Elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol have been linked to changes in the amygdala, a brain region involved in social and emotional development. While these changes are part of a normal adaptation to motherhood, excessive stress can increase the risk of anxiety and depression for the mother and may even affect the child’s neurodevelopment.

It is VITAL to give yourself grace and understand that these changes are beyond your control.

Take good care of yourselves sweet friends and always ask for help when you need it.

🚫 Cancer-Causing (or Cancer-Linked) Foods

1. Processed Meats

Examples: Bacon, sausages, hot dogs, deli meats

Risk: Classified as Group 1 carcinogens (same category as to***co) by the WHO due to links with colorectal cancer.

Why? Contain nitrates/nitrites, preservatives that can form carcinogenic nitrosamines.

2. Red Meat (excessive consumption)

Examples: Beef, lamb, pork

Risk: Linked to colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.

Why? High-temperature cooking (like grilling) creates heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), both carcinogens.

3. Fried and Deep-Fried Foods

Examples: French fries, fried chicken, chips

Risk: Contain acrylamide, especially when starchy foods are fried at high temps.

Why? Acrylamide is a probable human carcinogen.

4. Highly Processed Foods (Ultra-Processed)

Examples: Packaged snacks, sugary cereals, frozen ready meals, processed cheeses

Risk: Linked to higher overall cancer risk, especially breast and colon cancer.

Why? Low in nutrients, high in additives, sugar, and unhealthy fats.

5. Sugary Drinks and Excess Sugar

Examples: Sodas, energy drinks, sweetened juices

Risk: Linked indirectly to cancer through obesity, a known cancer risk factor.

Why? Obesity increases risk for at least 13 types of cancer.

6. Alcohol

Examples: Beer, wine, spirits

Risk: Directly linked to breast, liver, colorectal, and esophageal cancer.

Why? Ethanol breaks down into acetaldehyde, a carcinogen.

7. Charred or Burnt Foods

Examples: Burnt toast, charred meats

Risk: Contain HCAs and PAHs.

Why? Formed during high-heat cooking like grilling or barbecuing.

8. Salt-Preserved or Pickled Foods (Traditional methods)

The main difference between varicose veins and spider veins lies in their appearance, size, and severity:

💫1. Appearance and Size

Feature Varicose Veins Spider Veins

Size Larger, bulging, rope-like Small, thin, web-like
Color Blue, dark purple Red, blue, or purple
Texture Raised above the skin surface Flat or slightly raised

💫 2. Location:

Varicose veins: Usually found on the legs, particularly the calves and thighs.

Spider veins: Can appear on the legs, face, or other areas.

💫3. Symptom Varicose Veins and Spider Veins:

Pain/discomfort Often painful; can cause aching, heaviness, throbbing, or swelling Typically painless, mostly cosmetic
Health risks Can indicate poor circulation or vein disease Usually not linked to serious issues

💫4. Cause:

Both are caused by weak or damaged valves in the veins, but:

Varicose veins often result from more significant vein valve failure and pressure buildup.

Spider veins result from smaller capillary dilation near the surface of the skin.

💫5. Treatment:

Hijaamah improves blood circulation, reduced inflammation, and detoxification that might lighten the appearance of varicose veins or spider veins. It may help these veins appear lighter over time .
However, Varicose veins may require medical treatments (e.g., laser therapy, sclerotherapy, vein stripping).

Chronic sleep deprivation triggers a process where the brain begins to "eat itself" through a mechanism called phagocytosis, driven by microglial cells and astrocytes, as revealed by scientific studies.

When you consistently get insufficient sleep, these brain cells, typically responsible for clearing out debris and maintaining neural health, become overactive.

Microglia start consuming synapses—critical connections between neurons—while astrocytes break down and recycle damaged cellular components excessively.

This self-cannibalism, observed in studies on mice, mimics a process seen in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, where synaptic loss impairs memory, cognition, and brain function.

Research, such as a 2017 study published in the "Journal of Neuroscience", showed that sleep-deprived mice had significantly higher levels of phagocytic activity compared to well-rested ones.

Astrocytes in sleep-deprived brains expressed more genes linked to engulfing synaptic material, while microglia displayed increased markers of inflammation and synapse pruning.

This pruning, normally beneficial for refining neural circuits during development, becomes destructive when uncontrolled, leading to cognitive decline, mood disorders, and weakened immune responses.

The body’s circadian rhythm, disrupted by chronic sleep loss, exacerbates this.

Without adequate rest, the brain accumulates toxic proteins like amyloid-beta, further stressing cells and triggering self-destructive cleanup.

Over time, this can impair learning, memory consolidation, and emotional regulation, raising risks for neurological disorders.

While occasional sleep loss won’t cause immediate harm, persistent deprivation—less than 6 hours nightly for most adults—escalates this damage.

Prioritizing 7-9 hours of quality sleep, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, and minimizing stressors like screen time before bed can help protect your brain from this destructive process.

A shocking study has revealed that a single plastic tea bag steeped in hot water can release over 11 billion microplastic particles and 3 billion nanoplastics into just one cup of tea.

Researchers warn that these particles can be absorbed by human cells, raising serious health concerns including inflammation, oxidative stress, and even DNA damage.

Experts suggest switching to loose-leaf tea or plastic-free bags to reduce exposure.

📱 Too much screen time in kids isn’t just about sore eyes or missed sleep — it’s leaving a mark in their blood that could predict future heart disease.

A new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that greater recreational screen time in children and teens is linked to higher risks of high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and cholesterol imbalances.
Even just one extra hour of screen use per day was tied to measurable changes in health.

Researchers analyzed long-term data from Denmark and discovered a unique "screen-time fingerprint" in blood samples — a metabolic signature associated with future cardiovascular disease.
Among adolescents, screen exposure often exceeded six hours daily, raising concerns about silent, early impacts on heart health.

Sleep emerged as a key player. Kids who slept less or went to bed later showed even stronger links between screen time and health risks, highlighting the importance of balancing technology use with rest.

Experts stress that parents should model healthy screen habits, limit late-night device use, and prioritize active play.

This research underscores that managing screen time is just as critical for lifelong health as diet and exercise.

📱Children's brains generally absorb more radiation from wireless devices than adults' brains do.
This is due to several biological and anatomical differences.

📊 1. Children’s brains can absorb 2 to 10 times more microwave radiation than adults' brains under the same exposure conditions.

For example, when using a cellphone at the ear:

A 5-year-old child may absorb twice as much radiation to the brain and up to 10x more in the bone marrow than an adult.

A 10-year-old may absorb 50% more radiation in the brain than an adult.

🧠2. Reasons for Higher Absorption

Thinner skulls and softer tissues in children allow more radiation to pe*****te deeper.

Smaller heads result in a higher relative exposure, especially to critical regions like the brain stem and eyes.

Developing brain tissue has higher water content, which can increase energy absorption from electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

🛡️ Recommendations to Reduce Exposure in Children

1.Use speaker mode or wired headphones for calls.

2.Avoid keeping phones directly on the body (e.g., in pockets).

3.Limit screen time with wireless devices.

4.Use airplane mode when the device doesn’t need to connect to the internet.

5.Keep Wi-Fi routers away from sleeping and play areas.

🌊 Barakah (Blessings) in Water

Water is considered a pure and life-giving element in Islam.

Blowing into water after reciting the names of Almighty Allah is believed to bless the water, turning it into a means of healing or protection when consumed.

📿 Connecting with Allah’s Attributes

Each of Allah's 99 names reflects a unique attribute (e.g., Ash-Shafi – The Healer, Ar-Rahman – The Most Merciful).

Reciting specific names that align with one's needs (like healing, mercy, guidance) is a way of seeking help from Allah directly through His attributes.

📖 Prophetic Ruqyah (spiritual healing):
The Prophet ﷺ would blow over people after reciting Qur’anic verses or supplications.

The power is not directly in the water or the ritual itself, but in Allah’s mercy and will.

Researchers have discovered something truly disturbing:
our brains are loaded with microplastics.

In a new study, scientists examined 91 brain samples taken from autopsies this year — and every single one contained microplastics.

Even more troubling, the brains had ten to twenty times more plastic than the liver and kidneys from the same bodies, making our grey matter one of the most plastic-contaminated tissues tested so far.

In 24 of these brain samples, microplastics made up about 0.5% of the tissue by weight.

That might sound small, but for something that’s supposed to be pure nerve tissue, it’s staggering.

One of the study’s authors, a pharmaceutical sciences professor at the University of New Mexico, said he was shocked by how much plastic was there, admitting it was far more than he ever imagined.

This finding adds the brain to a growing list of organs tainted by plastic pollution.

Scientists have already found microplastics in human hearts, lungs, arteries, testicles, semen, and just last month, inside bone marrow.

They’ve already been linked to fertility problems, immune system disruptions, memory issues, and even a rise in cancers among young people.

Worryingly, brains of people who died with dementia, including Alzheimer’s, had up to ten times more plastic, hinting at a possible connection.

Researchers also noted that microplastic levels have risen dramatically since 2016, matching trends seen in the environment.

Experts now say it’s time to treat plastic pollution as a global emergency.

Hijaamah removes toxins from the body !!

🔁 1. Heart as the Seat of Understanding –
Spiritual vs Scientific

📌 Islamic View:

The heart (qalb) is the seat of intellect, intention, emotion, and moral consciousness.

It's spiritually alive or dead depending on a person's connection to Almighty Allah.

Purity or corruption of the heart defines the quality of a person’s actions.

📌 Modern Neuroscience View:

Cognition, memory, decision-making, and moral judgment are all based in the brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex.

The heart and brain are connected through the autonomic nervous system.

❤️🧠 2. Heart-Brain Communication in Science

✦ Scientific Insight:

Modern research in neurocardiology shows that:

The heart and brain are in constant communication via electrical, hormonal, and neurological signals.

The heart has a “little brain” (intrinsic cardiac nervous system) with ~40,000 neurons.

Emotions like stress, anger, and love affect heart rate variability, which in turn affects brain function.

🔹 This has led to discoveries in heart-brain coherence (like in HeartMath research), showing:

> Emotional regulation in the heart can positively influence the brain, mood, focus, and overall well-being.

✦ Parallel with Islam:

Islam teaches that a sound heart leads to righteous actions, inner peace, and divine closeness.

Emotional and spiritual states (e.g. envy, arrogance, love, gratitude) deeply affect one’s spiritual and physical health.

📌 Bridge: Modern science confirms that the heart influences mental health, and Islam goes further by placing the heart at the center of moral and spiritual well-being.

---

🧠🕊 3. Mind, Self, and Soul (Nafs) in Islam vs Psychology

✦ Islam:

The nafs is the inner self, subject to desires and ego.

The qalb (heart) can either guide or be misled by the nafs.

Through tazkiyah (purification), one aligns the self with divine guidance.

Both systems recognize inner conflict, moral conscience, and the importance of self-discipline, but Islam brings in a God-centered purpose, while psychology often stops at self-actualization or mental wellness.
