5 Ways To Bash Period Pain https://pakiholic.com/5-ways-to-bash-period-pain/ Mon, 28 May 2018 18:03:59 +0000 http://pakiholic.com/?p=7336 How we all hate that time of the month when our energy goes down to 0% and the excruciating period pain makes us completely mad! Everything seems dull, every person begins to get on the nerves, and most importantly, functioning at work/college/school is JUST SO DIFFICULT!

But take note that it’s normal for most women to feel period pain because of your body’s way of telling you how it needs rest and extra care.

Here are some tips that you MUST follow to kick the pain bye bye.

  1. Exercise and Stretch:

As much as we like to sit and lie down during the period, it is highly recommended by doctors that stretching, walking, or any other kind of exercise that loosens up the muscles is beneficial for pain relief.

Source: www.livestrong.com

 

    2. Heat Things Up

A warm bath or resting a heating pad/hot water bottle on your lower belly or back are good enough ways to relax your muscle.

Heat is an excellent way to reduce pains, you may also want to have hot drinks such as tea and milk.

Source: www.everydayhealth.com

 

   3. Avoid Coffee

Although otherwise a great agent to make you fresh, coffee is a vasoconstrictor which makes blood vessels constrict. If you’re already big on coffee and can’t function without it then you may have it once a week before your period starts.

Source:www.hotfridaytalks.com

 

    4. Avoiding These Foods:

During menstruation, it’s a good idea to avoid foods that cause bloating and water retention. Some of the most annoying-down-there foods are:

  • Fatty foods
  • Carbonated beverages
  • Salty foods
  • Caffeine
  • fatty foods

Diet plays a very important role! You must eat healthy during your days. It adds up to feeling fresh and energetic. Have lots of fruit.

 5. Eat More Greens

Dark leafy greens are a dietary source of magnesium, calcium, and countless other micronutrients.  These nutrients are essential for mediating muscle contractions. In Chinese dietary therapy, dark green vegetables are also considered to be mildly cleansing, which is what the body needs in a “stagnation” condition. Some greens such as dandelion greens (very bitter, but very helpful) also have a mild diuretic effect, which reduces bloating.

Hopefully, these tricks would work just fine on you. Do share if you know other secrets of our dark and gloomy days!

Want to Ace This Semester? Now You CAN https://pakiholic.com/want-to-ace-this-semester-now-you-can/ Thu, 03 May 2018 09:11:26 +0000 http://pakiholic.com/?p=6355 By Maha Usman

It’s that time of the year when you can’t sleep or eat because of the stress that exams bring to you. It’s okay buddy, it’s only natural.

The internet is a great place to make maximum use of scoring an A in all of your exams; there are plenty of videos and study material online which you can watch to understand the loopholes that might have bugged you in class.

This blog is dedicated to every student who’s struggling with grades. Our team sat together and discussed how our study routine used to be and how we managed to get a GPA above 3.5.

  • Sleep

OUR FAVOURITE HOBBY! Jokes apart, if you’re planning a study routine for a few hours/ all-nighter, it is a MUST to get ample of sleep for you to function and understand what you’re studying. It is necessary for you to have a fresh mind, eat healthy( because junk food makes you sleepy), and hydrate yourself before you grab your books.

Source: memeshappy.com
  • Understand What You’re Studying, This is How

This top-scorer, all-rounder, oh-so-smart friend of mine tells me how he used to study; “I would translate everything to Urdu because our mind processes everything better when we read something in our mother language. It always helped me to understand things better and I’d be able to write them with more clarity as well”- Said the Amazing Shahnawaz.

Source: gifimage.net
  • Make Summaries on Sticky Notes

Once you’re done with a concept/paragraph/page, take a sticky note and write a brief summary of what you gathered from that specific topic. Do it on every page and topic, this will not only help you understand the lesson better but would extremely beneficial when you’re skimming through the book in the morning.

Source: memegenerator.net
  • Read Out Loud

Reading out is a great technique to memorize something because you’re understanding more and listening to yourself. You could also practice reading out with a friend; Tell them to listen to you and raise questions as you study.

Source: asianmeditour.com

 

  • Make Counter-Arguments

While you’re going through a topic, create doubts and question the loopholes in the text. Answer them yourself by studying the topic and include it in your answer sheet. This wouldn’t give the examiner a chance to question your argument.

E.g. Instead of saying Realism is an approach to the study and practice of international politics, you could sayRealism is an approach to the study and practice of international politics. It emphasizes the role of the nation-state and makes a broad assumption that all nation-states are motivated by national interests, or, at best, national interests disguised as moral concerns.

Source: www.theodysseyonline.com
  • Quiz Yourself

Always a smart idea to quiz yourself after every topic you go through. Not just that but also quiz yourself before going to sit in your exam. Always works!

searchingtheclouds.wordpress.com
  • Use Youtube Video Tutorials

Watch videos on YouTube based on the same topic that you’re learning. While watching videos, aim to picture the concepts and elements in your head.

We came across this really cool technique in university and wikihow explains it so well:

Mnemonics are simply memorization techniques that can help you while you’re studying. You can use acronyms to help you, chaining ideas together, or keywords (especially helpful for languages).

Acronyms: this is basically a combination of letters, each of which stands for an idea that you will need to remember. For example, the FOIL method in algebra stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last, designating how you’re supposed to do an algebraic problem.

Chaining creates a story where each word or idea you have to remember cues the next idea that you have to remember.

Keywords: for each foreign word you have to remember, pick an English word that sounds like it. Then you’d visualize an image that has both the English word and the foreign word in it. For example “cabina” is the Spanish word for a phone booth. Imagine a cab trying to fit inside a phone booth. You’ll be able to recall the image, which will lead you to “cabina.”

  • Mind Mapping: Before attempting the exam, make a rough mind map for every question and make bullet points of all the things you’re going to cover. This way you can easily go back to the pencil-written map if you forget something during the exam.

Hijab Wearing Girl Breaks Stereotypes Through a Beauty Pageant https://pakiholic.com/hijab-wearing-girl-breaks-stereotypes-through-a-beauty-pageant/ Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:38:21 +0000 http://pakiholic.com/?p=5990 “Confidence breeds beauty”- Estee Lauder

Maria Mehmood is a 20 years old student of Psychology, aspiring to change the socially constructed image of Muslims in the West. She happens to be a student of psychology, based in Birmingham. As a part of Miss England competition, the young model is the first ever participant to wear a Hijab and that too someone who made it to the semi-finals.

“Muslims are associated with negative things like terrorism. I’m determined to do my bit to challenge those views,” Maria told The Mirror.

“It’s pretty rare for a Muslim woman to be in a beauty pageant but there’s nothing to stop us entering. I entered Miss Birmingham and the organizers were delighted to have a hijab-wearing Muslim in the competition. They fast-tracked me through to the final where I competed against 30 girls and came second. I couldn’t believe it,” she said.

Maria hopes to become a social worker. Photo: The Mirror

Even though her friends and family are constantly supporting her, she believes that the Muslim community at large is going to backlash her decision.

In an interview, she expressed:”When I came runner-up, they were delighted for me. I’ve got three brothers and they’ve also been so good. Most people have been supportive. There have been a few negative comments and I’m fully expecting some criticism from old-timers and conservatives. But what I’m doing is empowering for Muslim women. I’m anticipating most people will back me,” she added.

Interestingly, when asked about the swimmear round, she replied, “Obviously, “I’m not going to parade on stage in a bikini as that is going against my religion and beliefs. I’ll wear a burkini.”

The competition of Miss England semi-final would be held in Newark, Notts, in July. If Maria wins this title, she would be competing in the following Miss World Contest.

Mehmood also added: “In today’s society, we [Muslims] are not exactly loved because what is happening in the world.”

Looking forward to the finals! Send us your thoughts about this 😀
