The United States dietary guidelines, based on the 2005 Institute of Medicine report, recommend that the general population aim for sodium levels of 1,500 to 2,300 milligrams a day because those levels will not raise blood pressure.
One of the symptoms of the plague was coughing and sneezing, and it is believed that Pope Gregory VII suggested saying âGod bless youâ after a person sneezed in hopes that this prayer would protect them from an otherwise certain death. The expression may have also originated from superstition.
Why do people cough or sneeze when there is dust in the air? When you are in a dusty place, you do tend to cough and sneeze more often. That is because the dust particles get breathed into your nose and throat and caught in the mucus liâ¦ning, on nose hairs, and cilia in your lungs. When dust is in your nose, it can irritate your nose's lining. This causes you to sneeze, in an effort to clear the dust from your nose. A cough works the same way, but it clears your throat and lungs. Special Caution: Be sure to cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and then throw it away.
