AIDS/HIV

Q- What is AIDS/HIV and what are its symptoms? ?

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a condition that weakens the immune system. It results from contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which is detected through a blood test. Most people who contract HIV see a progression to AIDS symptoms within 10-15 years of initial infection, although symptoms can occur earlier. HIV causes a broad spectrum of clinical problems. Within a few weeks of infection, some people may experience flu-like symptoms, including fever, general sickness and poor energy, rash, joint pain, and swelling of the lymph nodes. However these symptoms usually disappear quickly and an infected person can remain without symptoms for a long period of time. The onset of AIDS itself is when an HIV-positive patient’s immune system is severely damaged and loses its ability to fight infections. The signs of these infections may include: a fever higher than 100 F for several weeks, dry cough, chronic diarrhea, white spots or unusual lesions on the tongue or in the mouth, blurred and distorted vision, persistent fatigue and skin infections.

Q- How do I avoid getting AIDS/HIV? ?

The only way to prevent AIDS is to avoid becoming infected with HIV. HIV is spread most often by having unprotected sex with an infected partner. The virus enters the body through the vagina, vulva, penis, rectum, or mouth during sex. HIV is also spread through contact with infected blood. This can occur while sharing needles during intravenous drug use and through other direct blood-to-blood contact such as receiving infected blood during a blood transfusion, though this is highly unlikely in many countries now due to thorough screening of donated blood. Mothers can also spread the virus to their babies during pregnancy, childbirth, or breast-feeding.

Q- What can I do to help me live with AIDS/HIV? ?

There is no cure for AIDS but certain drugs seem to slow the progression of the disease. In addition, various nutritional factors may be helpful in supporting the immune system. Because of the complicated nature of this disorder, medical supervision is strongly recommended with regard to dietary changes and nutritional supplements. Some healthy things you can do are: • Good nutrition is vital for people with HIV. • Add shiitake, reishi, and maitake mushrooms or supplements to your diet. • Consume plenty of green drinks from leafy greens. • Take appropriate dietary supplements and supplementary fiber. • Exercise and reduce lifestyle stress. • Drink at least two liters of water per day. • Eliminate junk food,avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and Echinacea. • Limit your intake of soybeans and soy products, which contain enzyme-inhibitors. • Always use a condom and practice food safety and drink clean water.

Allergies

Q- What are allergies and what causes them? ?

An allergic reaction occurs when the body’s immune system overreacts to normally harmless substances (allergens), and the white blood cells begin to attack them as invaders. Almost any substance can act as an allergen. The most common allergy triggers include: pollen, dust mites, molds, animal dander, latex, foods, and insect venom. Foods known to cause allergies are: wheat, sugars (fructose and sucrose), soybeans, shellfish, pineapples, onions, dairy foods (cheese and milk), citrus fruits, chocolate, bee pollen, and alcoholic drinks (beer and wine). The symptoms of allergies include: cold-like symptoms (nasal congestion, runny eyes, itching eyes, itching ears, itching throat), shortness of breath, headache, swelling of mouth and/or throat, diarrhea, intestinal discomfort, inflammation, and hives. The most severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis, can lead to low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, shock, and loss of consciousness, all of which can be fatal.

Q- What can I do to relieve my allergy symptoms? ?

Severe allergic reactions require medication and immediate medical help, but for mild allergies here are some healthy things you can do: • Keep rooms free of dust and use a free-standing air filter. • If using an air conditioner in your room, use appropriate filters to circulate pure air in the room. • Use mold-proof paint on walls and do not carpet bathrooms or other damp rooms. • Reduce mold by removing houseplants, by frequently cleaning shower curtains, bathroom windows, damp walls, areas with dry rot and indoor trash cans with mix of chlorine and bleach. • Use a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity in your home to 50% or less. • Do not smoke, and avoid second-hand smoke. • Shower or bathe before bedtime to wash off pollen and other allergens in your hair and on skin. • Keep pets out of the house to avoid pet dander. • Avoid excessive stress and learn healthy techniques for dealing with stressors. • Rotate foods to help detect a food allergy. • Increase onions, garlic, and citrus fruits for Quercetin, a natural antihistamine. • Drink plenty of water and fruit juices. • Gargle with one cup of warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon of non-iodized salt to relieve symptoms.

Q- What is cancer and what are its warning signs??

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the body. Cancer cells invade and destroy the tissue around them, forming a hard lump or tumor.

Chronic fatigue

Q- When is pain considered chronic??

Typically chronic pain is discomfort that continues long after the body has healed from injury or illness, often for three months or more. Chronic pain often affects older adults who suffer from ongoing conditions like arthritis. It can also occur with no known link to injury or illness simply because the nervous system malfunctions or the brain fails to produce chemicals that suppress pain. Chronic pain can occur anywhere in the body and can range from mild intermittent pain to severe pain that interferes with everyday life. Chronic pain can be described as: shooting, burning, or aching pain; or persistent soreness, tightness, or stiffness.

Q- Can diet affect chronic pain??

Here are several nutritional tips to help reduce unhealthy inflammation and the associated pain: •    Eat fresh pineapple, which contains bromelain, effective for treating inflammation •    Eat whole, fiber-rich, unprocessed foods, emphasizing magnesium •    Eat calcium-rich foods for bone and muscle strength such as leafy greens, almonds, blackberries, broccoli, mustard greens, oatmeal, orange, navy beans, and sunflower seeds •    Avoid simple or refined sugars including fruit juices, sodas, and sugary baked goods •    Avoid caffeine, salty foods, and alcohol •    Limit foods high in saturated fats: red meats, dairy, shellfish, and hydrogenated oils •    Drink chlorophyll-rich green drinks •    Eat more fatty fish (mackerel, herring, and salmon)

Chronic pain cannot be eliminated in every case, but there are many lifestyle choices you can make to prevent or reduce the symptoms of chronic pain. Seek early treatment of injuries and illness.

Constipation

Q- What causes constipation??

Constipation refers to difficulty in passing stools. Regular bowel movements are essential for good health, but most people experience occasional constipation; it is one of the most common digestive complaints. It is usually caused by insufficient amounts of fiber and fluids in the diet. Other contributing factors include:  inadequate exercise, stress, depression, anxiety, and poor diet. Constipation can also be a side effect of some medications, such as painkillers and antidepressants, and it’s very common during pregnancy. It is most common in children and mature adults, and it affects women more than men. Regularity is usually achieved by simple lifestyle changes and improved diet. Many people think it is optimal to have one bowel movement each day. But “normal” varies from person to person. Some have bowel movements three times a day, while others move their bowels just three times a week. In general, anyone who experiences straining, pellet-like stools, hard stools, cannot fully empty their bowels and has fewer than three bowel movements a week is considered constipated.

Q- How can I avoid or alleviate constipation? ?

No matter what your age, you can help avoid constipation by making several healthy lifestyle choices: •    Take time to eat, breathe slowly, and chew food thoroughly •    Consume fiber-rich foods: vegetables, fresh & dried fruits, whole wheat, oat bran •    Drink 2 to 3 liters of water per day •    Exercise regularly; follow a plan appropriate to your abilities •    Eat small frequent meals; avoid overeating at one sitting •    Drink warm lemon water just before meals to stimulate digestion •    Include stewed or soaked prunes in your daily diet •    Avoid dairy products, soft drinks, meat, white flour, highly processed foods, salt, coffee, alcohol, and sugar

Diabetes

Q- What is diabetes??

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder resulting from the body’s inability to make enough insulin or to properly use it. If your body becomes insulin resistant, more glucose remains in your blood stream and is likely to be stored as fat, rather than burned for energy. There are two main types of diabetes, Type I and Type II.  Type I is caused by a lack of insulin. This type usually occurs in children or adolescents. In Type I diabetics, their bodies make little or no insulin. People with type I diabetes must take insulin every day to replace what their pancreas is unable to produce. Type II is typically diagnosed in people over 40. However, the incidence is increasing in children and young adults. Both heredity and lifestyle issues, such as obesity and lack of exercise, are risk factors for Type II Diabetes. The majority of people with Type II diabetes do not require insulin to manage their condition.  People with Type II diabetes often have no symptoms, and the condition is detected only when a routine exam reveals high blood glucose levels. Occasionally a person with Type II diabetes may gradually begin to experience symptoms including: numbness of the feet, ankles, and legs; blurred or poor vision; fatigue and poor wound healing; excessive urination and thirst; yeast infections; generalized itching; and excessive hunger.

Q- What can I do to treat my diabetes??

If you have Type II Diabetes, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends a healthy, low-fat diet, rich in grains, fruits, and vegetables.  •    Avoid saturated fats and simple sugars •    Eat foods with a low glycemic index, such as beans, peas, fruits, and oats •    Lose weight by reducing calories by 250 to 500 per day •    Do not use tobacco products and restrict alcohol use •    Exercise regularly •    Self-monitor blood glucose •    Consider a vegan diet •    Discuss your treatment plan with your doctor

ABDOMINAL TIGHTNESS/PAIN

Even the slightest disorder in abdomen can leave you with severe discomfort and sleepless nights. Abdominal tightness is no different and is seen as one of those health issues which irritate the most. Amazingly, there is no single reason behind it; abdominal tightness may result from number of reasons. Abdominal tightness or stomach tightening is the state in which the individual experiences uneasiness as a result of stomach pain, stomach cramping and even stomach bloating. Whatever may be the reason, it needs to be handled with full attention and care as the comfort of entire body rests on it. A thorough knowledge about the causes and treatment of abdominal tightness will help you get over it and be at ease. Follow the next sub-section where all the information is provided.

Causes Of Abdominal Tightness

Wrong Eating Habits
Wrong eating habits are the prime factors behind most of the stomach related health problems. Over-eating, intake of very spicy or oily food, and eating at wrong time usually results in abdominal tightness. It may also occur by the excessive intake of alcohol.

Constipation
One of the most common causes for pain and abdominal tightness is constipation. When an individual experiences irregular bowel movements, usually less than 3 times a week, and that too very dry and dark in colour, the person is expected to have problem of constipation. You can be sure about constipation if the patient also experiences headache, bloating and gas along with infrequency in bowel movements.

Acute Gastritis
Caused by the intake of alcohol or certain medications like aspirin, or severe stress, acute gastritis is a rapid inflammation of the stomach lining. It is basically brought by a bacterial or viral infection. Tightening in abdomen, combined with pain, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite are some of the major symptoms of acute gastritis.

Appendicitis
In the beginning of the intestine, there lies appendix, in the form of a big pouch. The abdomen tightening may occur due to swelling or inflammation in appendix caused by the blockage of feces. It is a serious medical condition and needs urgent medical action..

Diarrhoea
Diarrhoea can also be one of the possible reasons behind abdominal tightening. When diarrhoea catches an individual, it usually makes the stools very diluted and increases their frequency to a significant level. It also shows signs of fever, headache, nausea, loose stools (sometimes, with blood) along with pain and tightness in abdomen.

Bowel Obstruction
Bowel obstruction, which is directly related to the digestive system, also shows its impact in the form of abdominal tightness and significant pain. The varying types of obstruction in bowel largely depend upon the area of infection: in the large intestine or the small intestine. Usually caused by adhesion, injury, crohn’s disease, volvulus etc, bowel obstruction has abdominal tightness as its foremost symptom.

Lead Poisoning
Lead is known for its poisonous properties. Even a bit of its intake can cause severe health problems. Usually it gets in human system through contaminated water, air and also through utility products like cosmetics and paints. It causes several health problems that include vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach tightness, fatigue etc.

Pregnancy
Pregnant women usually experience tightness in their abdomen. During early stages of pregnancy it occurs as an outcome of the increase in the amount of a hormone named as progesterone. During this period, pregnant women experience nausea, too much burping, headache, stomach bloating and tightened stomach.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Generally known as IBS, irritable bowel syndrome is a health problem related with the large intestine whose cause is yet to be identified. More often it is manifested in the form of abdominal tightness, though other symptoms include nausea, bloating, abdominal pain, gas, constipation or diarrhoea.

Strained Muscles
Most sportsmen experience the tightness in abdomen resulting from the severe injuries caused by the excessive physical activities like exercises or sports. It happens when one or more muscles of stomach get pulled or strained during physical activity.

Treatment Of Abdominal Tightness
Avoid oily and spicy food as much as you can. Set a time for meals and refrain from eating at late nights or at wrong times.
Chart a well-balanced diet and follow it properly. Include fibre-rich products which help in reducing gas and subsequent tightening in stomach.
Intake of plenty of clean water really does wonders with the digestive process. Make a habit of drinking 8-10 glasses of water every day.
When suffering from stomach tightening due to constipation or gas formation, take aloe vera juice, prune juice and other such relieving substances like broccoli, potatoes, yogurt, asparagus, flaxseed, almonds, honey, etc.
- Follow BRAT (Banana, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast) diet when abdominal tightness is due to diarrhoea. You should also take high-fluid content for fast recovery.
Take a spastic colon diet enriched in magnesium, folic acid and vitamin B6 abdominal tightness is due to irritable bowel syndrome. For this purpose, consume green leafy vegetables, whole wheat breads and cereals, beans, peas and carrots etc. in your food.
When the patient is pregnant, it is normal to have tightened stomach. In case of severe tightness and its continuation over a period of time, contact a doctor immediately.
The problem of acute gastritis can be easily taken cared of with the help of medication. Acidity and inflammation can be cured with the help of over-the-counter and prescription antacids.
One of the severe ailments causing tightness in stomach is appendicitis. The only way to get it treated is surgery.
If however, in a few days time (having followed the treatment) abdominal tightness, pain and discomfort, doesn’t subside then it is recommended that you get the condition diagnosed from a qualified medication professional.
