Negative Calorie Diet

The negative calorie diet supposedly helps people lose weight by eating only foods that give less energy than the energy the body spends in digesting these foods. This means you can eat only fibrous vegetables and fruits like celery or carrots or papaya, though you can eat as much of them as you want. Negative calorie diets are not safe.

Nose Bleed / Epistaxis

Nose bleeds happen when the blood vessels in the upper part of the nose break and bleed. This is usually caused by injury, colds, or allergies. It is not a serious problem, and can be treated by holding the nose closed with the fingers for 10 minutes. Occasionally, however, it might be a sign of severe calcium deficiency or drug abuse.
