Although small, the tongue plays a substantial role in the normal functioning of your everyday life. Not just enjoying your meals, a healthy tongue is necessary in order for one to have a clear speech. The tongue's color and texture can denote a lot about the health of the overall body. And while an injury or thrust on the tongue may not seem like a very big problem, we will admit to it being extremely painful and inconvenient. A sore on the side of the tongue can bother one when eating and speaking, but in most cases does not indicate a very serious problem. There are several causes that can trigger the eruption of blisters or tongue canker sore and here are some of the most common reasons: Smoking - Smoking is not only bad for the lungs but can traumatize the tongue too. The habit of smoking tobacco and any other substances puts the tongue at the risk of developing sores and blisters over time. On the other side, if an individual has been smoking for a very long period, quitting smoking too can lead to sore on the side of the tongue. Medications - Certain medications may not go down too well with your tongue. Anti-inflammatory drugs especially can have side-effects and commonly show up as sores on the side of the tongue. Also, there are mouthwashes that can cause irritation around the tongue and further lead to the formation of blisters or thrust. Injury - Injuries such as biting down on the tongue when chewing can be extremely painful. If there is a wound that is formed on the surface, the tongue becomes sore and there is difficulty while chewing and speaking. Also, in case one has consumed something very hot, blisters are likely to form instantly and send down severe pain. However, this soreness decrease after a few days. Infections - Developing infections on the tongue is very common. These infections lead to white or red bumps forming on the surface of the tongue and thus affects your taste buds. Although these are painful they do clear up completely after a few days or weeks. Food sensitivity - The tongue may be sensitive to some kinds of food that make the side of the tongue sore. While the condition for some people may be caused by vegetables, others may experience this sensitivity and soreness by eating nuts. This allergy is likely to be seen in younger adults or kids. An itchy throat, swollen tongue and lips too are associated with food sensitivity. There are several natural remedies for thrust and sores that you can perform at home. However, if the condition gets worst, do visit the doctor and undergo thrust treatment.

Arthritis is a health condition that has several forms, which is why it can be quite confusing to comprehend it. The common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, and gout. The following article attempts to provide a brief understanding of each of these types.

• Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia is considered to be a central pain syndrome and is not an autoimmune disease. It does not cause tissue inflammation nor does it damage joints or muscles. In this condition, the brain and spinal cord perceive the pain signals differently. Burning sensation characterizes fibromyalgia. It 's hard to diagnose as there is no blood test and it cannot be viewed on imaging tests such as x-rays. The other symptoms associated with this condition are extreme fatigue, sleep problems, loss of concentration and depression.
• Osteoarthritis Healthy joints have a layer of cartilage, and in osteoarthritis, this protective cartilage starts breaking-down or degenerating. Due to this, the bones forming the joints start rubbing against each other resulting in excruciating pain. Other parts of your joints such as bone, synovium, and ligaments can also cause pain. The level of the pain depends on the person and intensity of the osteoarthritis.
• Rheumatoid arthritis In a healthy body, the immune system protects us from virus and bacteria. In rheumatoid arthritis, the joints and other organs come under attack from the body’s immune system. The immune system targets mainly joints called synovium, which is capable of inflicting a permanent form of bone damage. 
• Psoriatic arthritis Psoriatic arthritis is an autoimmune inflammatory condition. The immune system attacks the body resulting in severe inflammation and pain. The joint and the connective tissue where tendons or ligaments attach to bones are affected by psoriatic arthritis. Some foods can be used to alleviate pain and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. These are aloe vera, apple cider vinegar, capsaicin from hot peppers, Dead Sea salts, oats, Oregon grape, tea tree oil, and turmeric.
• Gout Although this is a form of inflammatory arthritis, it does not cause inflammation throughout the body. If your body produces too much uric acid or if you are unable to eliminate the excess uric acid, crystals are formed in the joints. It has been observed that the large joint of the big toe is the affected area in most patients, but it can also affect other joints.

Before heading to the store to purchase a counter depth refrigerator, be precise with your measurements. The average depth of a counter depth refrigerator measures approximately 30”, which works out 5” or 6” deeper than most counters. The kitchen cabinet size too matters. The height of a counter depth can go up to 72”. So if your top cabinets are big, then you will have to compromise on the space of the refrigerator. The counter depth refrigerators are 36 inches wide on an average. Firstly, dimensions decide which type of counter depth refrigerator is fit for your kitchen. Secondly, capacity is another factor.

It gels with the interiors of the kitchen with élan giving it a seamless look. Manufacturers and brands have different features that are present in one model, but missing in others. Designs and styles vary from models and brands. Compare the features that are more important, and you are going to use them often.

Counter depth refrigerators are the best choice for any kitchen type like galley and L-shaped as they are high space savers and give more storage room. Also, these types of refrigerators also maintain a safe and noticeable distance from the island allowing plenty of room to move around.

Top 3 best-buy keyboards for your laptops Once one has picked out or built the perfect gaming PC which is the hard part, comes the time to find all the accessories that are needed. You’re running the most graphics-intensive games on the market at 60 frames per second, but you might not enjoy the most of it if your keyboard is clunky, your headset uncomfortable, and your mouse plagued by bad third-party customization software. However, the good news is that quality accessories from low-key manufacturers and even the big-name brands are just a click away. Also, they are available at various online stores like Amazon, Newegg, etc. Easy availability has turned the once research-intensive process of peripheral buying into a relatively quick and cheap exercise. If one has historically been a console player, one might remain a bit oblivious to what brands are worth the investment. Also one needs to know how much one needs to spend and how much can the accessories withstand the wear and tear of countless multi-hour sessions. You need a mouse, keyboard, and headset combo for a game-changing upgrade. So, for anyone who is outfitting a new rig, dusting off an old one, or looking to get back into PC gaming without spending a fortune, here are some inexpensive and capable keyboards options that are a perfect buy:

• Logitech K360 wireless keyboard

Spending a ton of cash on a glowing, fancy keyboard isn’t advisable as a keyboard only stands out in two categories: comfort and easy-to-use. In both the departments, the Logitech K360 hits a perfect mark for a wildly low price tag.The Logitech K360 list price is $50. It’s one of the wireless accessories that last up to three years using just two AA batteries. Also, it retains the function and comfort level of a full-sized keyboard in a more compact form. Although, it might not flash rainbow colors, or have the perfect aesthetic sound, or have the feel of a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches; it still gets the best job done for less than the price of a pair of movie tickets.

• Corsair K55

It is one of the fancy gaming accessories that a gamer would love. The Corsair K50 list price is $50. It is an excellent choice if one does happen to be looking for something a little more ostentatious than a basic and standard keyboard.

For example, it has a detachable rubber wrist base and can be angled to the optimal spot for your hands while playing so that you are at ease. Without needing any third-party software, it also has six macro keys you can customize. Programming these six macro keys involves recording the multi-key functions right on the device’s onboard memory. Also, the same goes for the lighting effects.

• Redragon K552 kumara

Redragon is a brand that when one first discovers it, it seems too good to be true. The pricing of the company’s accessories is better than every big-name gaming brand, and all the products also have stellar ratings. However, Redragon was spun out of a third-party white-label manufacturer, that means it is designed and manufactured electronics for companies to slap their brand name on. With its expertise, the company now makes its gears ultra-affordable. Also, one won’t easily find a deal as good as the Redragon K552 Kumara. It may not highlight the best switches out there, but it gives you the loud, clacky joy of a mechanical keyboard multiple times the price. The Redragon K552 kumara list price is $33.
