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. They can also break away from this malignant
tumor and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system, which can carry them
throughout the body, causing new tumors to form in other organs. The seven
classic warning signs of cancer can be remembered by using the acronym
CAUTION:
• Change in bowel or bladder habits
• A sore that fails to heal • Unusual bleeding or discharge • Thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere • Indigestion or difficulty swallowing • Obvious change in a wart or mole • Nagging cough or hoarseness Cancer is usually treated with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. In addition to medical treatments, you may wish to fight the cancer using alternative treatments and good nutrition. |

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) |
|
Q- What lifestyle changes can
assist me in alleviating chronic pain??
|
|
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. Eat a healthy
diet, get adequate sleep and pursue regular gentle exercise. Avoid stress as
well as alcohol, smoking and drug use. Try alternative therapies such as

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 |

Eye health
Q- What are eye health problems
that can occur? ?
|
Nearly everyone experiences some
form of eye problem in their lives ranging from harmless eye twitches and
itchy eyes to more serious disorders, such as cataracts. Eye troubles can be
localized, or can be symptoms of disease, either in the eye itself or
somewhere else in the body. These problems also include glaucoma, macular
degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, arteriosclerotic retinopathy, eye
strain/computer eye syndrome, poor night vision, dry eye syndrome, and
short-sightedness.

each eye problem specifically, there are some general steps you can take to
enhance overall eye health.
• Eat a diet rich in proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Especially include: broccoli, raw cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, green vegetables, squash, watercress, and sunflower seeds. • Eliminate sugar and white flour from your diet. • Protect your eyes from overexposure to sunlight and wind. • Drink plenty of water. • Stop smoking, avoid tobacco smoke and other airborne irritants. • Get plenty of rest.

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 |

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.

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.

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.
