THE PRICE OF THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY

February 24th, 2011

Back in the good old days, illnesses were not that complicated.  People who get sick can either have the same treated at home or just take a pill or two, and he is fine the next morning.  Unfortunately, owing to the worsening pollution, coupled with the substances mixed in processed foods, the sicknesses we had before had evolved into more complicated and serious one.  The simple cold is not that simple anymore.  Fevers now have to be monitored because it will lead to several complications if it persists for at least three days.  If natural remedies were 100% effective before, the same is not true in the present case because doctors and medicines are needed to treat any illness, with natural remedies supplementing it.  So with the progress of technology and while we may enjoying its fruits also goes with the risks of incurring serious health problems which have become increasingly difficult to deal with.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY: A BIG PROBLEM

February 19th, 2011

A common problem which remains ignored but poses a major threat to our children is obesity.  While some parents may find chubby children cute and charming,  they are unaware  and ignorant of the fact that it poses certain major problems to their health which, if not checked and dealt with, may possibly lead to a child’s early death. Since children today opt to play with their gadgets rather than engage in active physical play, they have a tendency of gaining unwanted pounds because though their food consumption remains the same, it is never shed off since they do not do much physical activity. Hence, the best thing to prevent childhood obesity is to simply prevent our children from eating too much junk food and at the same time encourage them to go out and play rather than holing themselves up in their rooms where only their fingers get the much-needed exercise.

WHEN MIGRAINE STRIKES

February 18th, 2011

It may start off as a nasty headache only to turn out something far more serious – you are having a migraine attack.  Migraines are very painful and hard to deal with, which is why doctors advise that in dealing with this condition, you have to treat it before it even starts.  Hence, in treating migraine attacks, it is better to take steps to prevent it because once it blows, the only way to deal with it is to sleep it off till it passes.

No one is spared from this condition, as practically everyone may suffer from it.  Migraine sufferers know when they would have an attack, the most common of which is having an “aura”.  The best way to deal with it is simply to adopt measures to avoid it. For starts, try staying away from those foods which trigger it.

Can you tell the difference if you are having a heart burn or a heart attack?

February 16th, 2011

We suddenly feel excruciating pain in our chests. Some may dismiss it as having a mere heartburn. However, people are unaware that they may also be suffering from a heart attack.

Heartburn is only a symptom, and the persons suffering from it usually feel a burning sensation in their chest and extending to their throats. This is usually brought about after people eat, lie down, or simply bend over as the stomach acid backs up into their esophagus. It is difficult to determine what brings about these chest pains, so people should also observe the symptoms of having a heart attack, such as if the pain extends to the left arm, or if it is accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness or nausea. Though heartburn is a common symptom, persistent attacks should prompt a trip to the doctor.  People who think they have heartburn but also exhibit signs of having a heart attack should waste no time and get emergency treatment for their condition.

My Sweet Tooth!! – How do I overcome it?

February 7th, 2011

Everybody at some point of time has cravings for sweet foods. These sugar cravings happen because of the low functioning adrenal glands which are above the kidneys. One of the fundamental reason for the cravings is stress. When you are under tremendous stress adrenaline is secreted, thus causing the craving for sugar. Excessive adrenaline can reduce the body’s energy reserves.

During such times, doctors could prescribe a dosage of adrenal supplements. This will help the patients to regain their energies and thus will be in better control to take control of their diet in order to control the sugar intake.

Need for water i.e. thirstiness can sometimes be interpreted with need for sugar. Thus identifying such situations and taking sufficient water at these times helps to replenish the body. Also increasing the intake of protein rich food can lead to reduction in the craving. Food items that contain beans can help.

Swimming on the other hand is one common exercise that doctors prescribe to anyone who wants to reduce their weight and be fit. There are swimming pools that have the water temperature controlled. Thus enabling one to practice swimming at any part of the day at any time of the year irrespective of the weather.
