If that doesn't scare the pants off you, nothing will. So let's find a quit smoking program to get you off those coffin sticks. Introduction ARTHRITIS - JOINT - PAIN Arthritis is a general term which is commonly associated with a number of painful conditions affecting the joints and bones. The term "arthritis" literally translates to "joint inflammation." There are approximately 100 different forms of this condition, and it affects millions of people throughout the world. Symptoms can include joint pain, stiffness, inflammation, and limited movement of joints. When a joint is inflamed, it may be swollen, tender, red, or warm to the touch. In a healthy joint, the ends of the bones are covered by cartilage, a spongy material that allows almost frictionless motion between bones. The joints are enclosed in a capsule and lined with tissue called the synovium. This lining releases a slippery, lubricating fluid that helps the joint move smoothly and easily. With arthritis, the cartilage may be damaged or worn away by degenerative processes or by inflammation, making movement painful and difficult. If left undiagnosed and untreated, arthritis may progress to cause irreversible damage to the joints. Contrary to popular belief, arthritis affects all age groups. It's more common in those over forty-five, and in the case of osteoarthritis, three-fourths of the cases occur in women. The foundational causes of arthritis are dependent upon the form of arthritis. For instance, in some cases arthritis is the result of injury. A tweaked knee, a dislocated elbow, a damaged shoulder could all potentially result in an arthritic condition in the following years. In forms of arthritis such as gout and pseudo-gout, which are caused by deposits of crystals called calcium pyrophosphate, the cause is considered to be a metabolic abnormality. There are also hereditary factors and infections that can cause arthritis. And finally, there are some forms of arthritis in which we simply haven't been able to identify a cause. Traditional arthritis treatment has been through the use of drugs that are designed to minimize the symptoms. For example, joint inflammation and swelling can often be reduced, and pain can often be controlled. Of course, these are not cures. There really isn't a cure for the arthritic condition at this time. BLOOD PRESSURE HEALTH Your heart pumps blood throughout your body using a network of tubing called arteries and capillaries which return the blood back to your heart via your veins. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart beats. There are two types of high blood pressure, primary hypertension and secondary hypertension. Primary hypertension accounts for 95% of hypertension and has several contributing factors. Secondary hypertension occurs when there is a malfunction in one of the body's organs or systems. Primary (or essential) hypertension can be attributed to a variety of factors. Roughly 30% of cases can be attributed to genetic factors. For example, high blood pressure affects more African-Americans than Asians or Caucasians. In addition, there can be a hereditary factor. You're twice as likely to suffer from high blood pressure if either of your parents had it. COLON HEALTH Before delving into what colon cleanse is, is it not wiser to get an idea of what your colon does? That way, you will better understand why getting your colon cleansed is immensely important. In this article, we will be discussing the colon’s role in the digestive function of the intestinal tract. Colon cleansing and its benefits will also be discussed. What is the Colon and where is it Located? The colon is perhaps better known as your large intestines. It basically starts at the junction between your appendix and small intestines and ends up in the opening of your anus. The colon is about 1 to 2 meters in length and is subdivided into Ascending Colon, Transverse Colon and the Descending colon. The names would be better understood by a discussing of how the colon lies in your body. Basically the colon forms and inverted letter ‘U’, the ascending portion of it starts at the appendix and ends when the colon starts to bend. The Transverse part of the colon lies horizontally – near where your liver and stomach are located. The descending portion starts out at the bend 2nd bend of the transverse colon and goes down up to the anus. DIABETES Diabetes is a disease that affects the way your body uses food. Normally, your body converts sugars, starches and other foods into a form of sugar called glucose. Your body uses glucose for fuel. The cells receive the glucose through the bloodstream. They then use insulin (a hormone made by the pancreas) to absorb the glucose, convert it into energy, and either use it or store it for later use. In diabetes, something goes wrong with this process. Food is changed into glucose, but either your body doesn't make enough insulin or it can't properly use the insulin it produces. When the glucose is unable to enter the cells, it begins to build up in the bloodstream. High blood-glucose levels, or as they're sometimes known – high blood-sugar levels, are one of the main signs of undiagnosed diabetes. The goal of treatment for all types of diabetes is to keep blood sugar at or near normal levels. FOOD ALERGIES Peanuts can leave you breathless. Cat dander can lead to itchy eyes, a stuffy nose, coughing and sneezing. And most of us have suffered through those seasonal allergies with horrible pollen counts. Approximately 60 million Americans are affected by an allergy, which means one in every five adults or children suffer from them. Allergies are common in men as well as in women. Thirty-five million people have upper respiratory symptoms, which are allergic reactions to airborne pollen. Around 10 million Americans have allergies to cats and two million present severe reactions to various insect stings. Simply defined, an allergy is an intolerance of the immune system to specific substances. You're allergic to these substances when your body reacts adversely to them, thereby producing excessive histamine, which triggers a cascade of allergic symptoms that can affect the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, skin or cardiovascular system. Typically a person will suspect that he or she is allergic to something before taking an allergy test. In most situations, a simple skin test will be performed first as a way to confirm a suspicion. With skin tests, several allergens can be tested simultaneously. Skin tests and blood tests are the most common types of allergy tests performed today. 75% of Americans who suffer from an allergy are allergic to ragweed. Ragweed is the late summer early fall equivalent of springtime allergies, both are brought on by pollination of flowers. Most medical professionals suggest an over the counter decongestant or antihistamine to treat the symptoms associated with a seasonal allergy. It's believed that 11 million Americans suffer from some type of food allergy. The symptoms of a food allergy range from tingling in the mouth to swelling of the tongue and throat to more severe reactions that can actually result in death. Some childhood food allergies will go away with age. However, allergies to peanuts, fish, shellfish and nuts are considered lifetime allergies. Some allergy reactions (such as in the case of shell fish allergies or nuts where one’s breathing pipes lines will close and literally you will be out of oxygen) require immediate treatment. Other allergy reactions may be mild and require nothing more than an over-the-counter medication. Additionally, a doctor may prescribe an asthma medication such as Albuterol to provide rapid relief to acute respiratory distress.
