The makers of a product called Red Copper Pan claim food will not stick to their copper-infused cookware, and they say the product defies scratches. Does it work? To test the Red Copper Pan, we turned to Chef Adam Glenn, owner of the Glenn restaurant in Charleston, Missouri.
Hernia Overview. A hernia occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained. These contents, usually portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity.
What causes an inguinal hernia? The cause of your hernia may not be known. You may have been born with a weak spot or opening in the abdominal wall. The area may have become weak from surgery or an injury. You may get a hernia after you lift something heavy or strain during a bowel movement. Your risk for a hernia may be increased if you smoke or you are overweight. Inguinal hernias are more common in males.
