Different Home Remedies for Pain in Knee

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:32:00 +0000

This blog post will provide you extensive information on how to relief yourself from the pain in knee. So let's get digging shall we :)

Knee

Knee is that part of our body on which almost no one gives even a second thought unless you start to feel pain in knee. It's one of the most complex and beautifully engineered body part created by nature and because of it's complex design, knees can hold the whole body weight for life. Of-course when pain in knee occurs, or when an individual start to see knee pain symptoms it's because he/she didn't paid attention in the first place. Don't worry there are numerous remedies which can help the pain in knee go away.

1. Stay Slim

If you are getting overweight then you must try to reduce it, because sooner or later you will feel pain in knee. When an individual gets overweight, different body parts feel stressed and knee is one of them. Consider this example, if you are overweight by 20 pound or 10 kg at most then when you move, you will put almost 50 kg or 100 pounds of weight on your each knee on each step. Yes, that's right, you read it right.

2. Feet Posture

A lot of times when pain in knee occurs, it's because of the feet posture. If your feet are Pronated, then you should at all cost make your feet posture to "Normal Pronation". This is really important because if the posture of your foot is not right then your will feel pain in knee. You can easily bring your foot back to normal posture by buying shoes designed by podiatrist.

3. Are You Buying the Right Kind of Shoes ?

If you are used to high heel shoes ( this goes for both man and woman ) then there is a bad new for you. When you wear high heel shoes, you are deliberately putting body weight forward which in turn badly affects the knee. So if you are feeling pain in knee when you wear high heel shoes then please stop! Understand this; your body is sending you knee pain symptoms which over time if ignored will get worse. "Health is Wealth".

4. Running will only increase the Pain

A lot of people especially the athletes believe that if they are feeling pain in knee, then if they start running or keep running the pain will eventually go away. This is wrong, if knee is in pain then running will make it even worse. Keep in mind that knee is different than biceps, triceps etc. If knee gets injured then it will really take for you to recover.

5. The Surface

If you do jogging then consider jogging on the grass, running tracks, or in the forest paths. A lot of people like to run on the side of road or on the pedestrian side which is wrong, because when you run on road or on hard surface compared to soft surface your knee takes much more stress.

Two Simple and Effective Exercises Which Can Help You During Pain in Knee

1. Hamstring Stretch

This is one really simple yet highly effective exercise to heal the pain in knee. First, you have to lie straight on your back. Now raise any leg first, hold your thigh straight with the help of your hands. Second, you now have to straighten your knee, but do it slowly. When you start feeling a mild stress in your thigh, stop at that point. Hold your body in this position for about 30 seconds, then slowly lower the leg. Now do this same method with your other leg. Do this exercise 2 to 3 times a day, it won't bite.

2. The great Calf Stretch Exercise

This exercise has to be done standing. Stand two feet in front of the wall. Bring your right foot forward ( lunge it ) while keeping your left leg as straight as possible. Keep the right leg a bit bent, now lean towards the wall, while keeping your hands on wall, this will support the body. When you feel a mild stretch in the calf , stop at that point. Keep yourself in the particular position for about 20 seconds and come back to normal position. Do the same with the left leg.

Eating Disorder

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:38:00 +0000

When people are trying to lose weight; they sometimes go in a disorder which is called Eating Disorder. In eating disorder an individual starts eating less then the normal body requires. Here is typical example which will clarify everything.

If an individual weighs 112 pounds and that individual is size six. Based on this data if that individual eats 500 or less calories daily then yes, that individual has a eating disorder. Eating disorder is psychological disorder because when the individual goes into program of losing weight, he/she with the passage of time may get into habit of eating less than required. This usually starts when an individual sees himself/ herself as becoming popular by losing weight ( yes, when you are losing weight people around you start noticing your body change and you start to feel proud). This psychologically starts to create a goal in the mind of the individual that people are admiring him/ her, so that pride should not fall at any cost and that's the point where one falls into eating disorder.

By the way don't confuse yourself "eating disorder" with "selective disorder" both are different.

Simple Ways to Reduce Your Weight - Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:47:00 +0000

Here are some great tips that will help you to reduce your weight in no time. You just need to be consistent in it, that's all.

1. Increasing the meal time

If you eat meal in 10 minutes or less then you should slow it down. Take small portions of bites and chew your food properly. You should increase your meal time by 20 minutes. This is one of the best ways to reduce your weight because when you are eating slowly and chewing it thoroughly, you will be triggering the fullness hormones in your body, which will make you believe that you have eaten up to full. Eating quickly puts more food in your tummy in less time, which effects digestion plus build fat in your body.

2. Sleep

There has been a research done in Michigan University, which tells that if you are sleep for one extra hour everyday your body weight can reduce to fourteen pounds by the end of year. So if you sleep for 8 hours, then increase it to 9 hours. On the other hand if you are sleeping less like 4-5 hours, your body will make you hungry and you will be eating more than usual.

Broccoli

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:00:00 +0000

I hope that you must have heard of the vegetable Broccoli which is also known as Brassica Oleracea or Brassica italica. The latter two are the names which most of us are not familiar. This vegetable is full of nutritional values also Broccoli has amazing ability of therapeutic powers. Normally women eat this vegetable as men don't like it also Broccoli is used to fight against Breast Cancer for women. Broccoli is you can say cousin of Cauliflower, which is also full of mineral and vitamins deposit.
Let us digg some more on the Term Broccoli. The Broccoli vegetable is grown in Calabria, Italy, so italy is the home land of Broccoli. The word Broccoli comes from the Iltalian language "brachium" which stands for "branch or Arm". In the 8th century when there was the Roman Empire was on it's full rise, Broccoli was very famous vegetable in Roman Empire, later when immigrants from Italy came to America they also brought this gift to the America. It was in year of 1920's when the first plantation of Broccoli took place in California. Every individual who love's himself and takes care of his or her health, loves to eat Broccoli.

As I mentioned in the start that Broccoli is full of nutrition's, so let's see what these nutritions really are. If we take 100 grams of broccoli, it contains almost 25grams of calories. Other than this it contains

1. Iron
2. Magnesium
3. Zinc
4. Different vitamins including C, B1, B6, B2, E, K, A.
5. Also it contains Omega 3 fatty acids which are normally found in Fish oil.
6. Fiber.
7. Potassium

Due to these valuable minerals and vitamins. Broccoli must be micro waved or sprouts should be steamed, in this way the whole nutrient value will remain safe.

According to the research which was published in the "American Journal of Epidemiology" , there it was mentioned clearly that Broccoli helps to reduce the Coronary heart disease. Also if you have Liver problem like Hepatitis of any kind, Broccoli is very useful in this case as it helps detoxification by boosting it up. Making our immune system strong and also prevents from various infections. If you have any kind of problem in stomach whether it could be stomach pain, indigestion, burning of stomach, intestine problems, use Broccoli as it is useful in stomach problems.
Broccoli is also anti-cancer agent as it has been proved by the scientists at University of Johns Hopkins according to them Broccoli contains sulforaphane which found in abundant quantity in this vegetable and element helps fight cancer.

So every women should use Broccoli as it is anti-cancer agent and I say that men must also use this vegetable as it is full of nutrition.

What To Do, When You Need Immediate Attention ?

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:51:00 +0000

There are times when you no one is home and you are your own in the kitchen. You are making some salad for yourself and when slicing the tomatoes you also slice your finger. Now at this time lots of question pop up in mind that weather you should apply bandage on it or go to the ER, or go to Walmart, CVS. The first thing you should do is to go to these CVS or Walmart as these also have drop-in medical clinics that can help you out with your situation as they contain nurses, physicians and even sometime doctors. In these situations they can help you out but if they think that you really need to go to ER they will tell you. If you have medical insurance, then there is chance that your medical insurance company might also contain 24/7 nurse hotline, which in many cases can become very useful. There are many who don't have any health insurance if this is the case then you can go to findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov, now this website can help you find federally funded clinic near you. Just type in your home address and you will be there :).

Hepatitis A, B, C

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 09:56:00 +0000

Hepatitis is a disease, where virus attacks only liver and as a result causing inflammation of liver. When a person is diagnosed with Hepatitis A,B,C which ever it may be, a fear comes in mind. There is at the moment no cure for Hepatitis but only treatments are available which can suppress the infection. I myself was diagnosed with Hepatitis A, I got my self scared lots of question started to pop up, for which I had no answers. There are lots of things which I learnt during this disease in terms of treating this disease. I want to share my personal experience with you so that it will help anyone who has hepatitis, and what to do when you get hepatitis.

1. Don't be afraid when you get diagnosed with this Hepatitis.

2. Diet is most important factor in getting rid of this disease. The specific food items which I found to be useful are:

a) Boiled Rice.

b) Boiled Vegetables.

c) Small quantities of fruits but no Mango included.

d) Boiled water, drinking after each hour.

e) Glucose D mixed with water, two times a day.

f) If you can get Real honey from the farm then this real honey is a must have, because I take it 1 table spoon in the morning and one in the night, this has helped me sooth the stomach pain, and indigestion is getting better. Try it you won't regret it but there is only one condition that Honey must be real no added, artificial flavors in it.

There are two basic kinds of Honey. One is produced in summer where bees make honey from fruits and the second one is produced in Spring, when bees make honey from flowers. Honey made from flowers is of superior kind, both kinds are effective, but I am using Honey made from flowers.

g) Don't eat meat but you can take Chicken only.

i) You can take milk once in a day as it also contains fats, so only one glass is good.

j) If you can get natural sugar cane juice, it's natural glucose, and trust me it's very good for liver.

k) Some times you can do fast for 12 hours this helps your stomach to relax and in my case fasting becomes
more easy as I have lost my appetite.

l) Don't eat any fried foods.

3) Try to rest as much as you can as in this disease a person can't eat much so if you are doing physical work it will make you weak and can cause sever fatigue, joint pains. So be-careful with physical work.

4) The period in which hepatitis goes away is from 6 to 9 months and it can go away earlier provided that if diet is maintained. I am on 3-week when the Hepatitis was found in me, but I using the given diet pattern I am feeling much better.

5) Take Lemon-tea some time, but I drink it 2-3 times a day as lemon and hot-water helps in digestion.

6) Don't take tea ( the one with sugar and milk in it ).

I gave a test at lab of ALT SERUM level and you know what I go to point 10 , the scale in which ALT is considered normal is 0-42, so i came at 10 which is very perfect and I am very happy because this diet pattern has helped me to recover in three weeks.

I also read the Surah Fatihah which is the First surah of Quran, I read it because it is known as the Cure. As I read it with the intention of healing Hepatitis I started to feel better as soon as I finished the Surah. So I must say that you should also read this Surah as it has Healing power. If you don't want to read it, it's ok, the above diet pattern helps to fight Hepatitis effectively.

Energy Therapy: Integrative Healing For Cancer Patients

noreply@blogger.com (Milady) — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 13:23:00 +0000

Medical patients facing a cancer diagnosis should be aware that traditional medical treatment is not their only option. Alternative therapies such as emotional freedom technique (EFT), healing touch, and intuitive bodywork have a place in cancer treatment as well.

Known as energy healing, these alternative healing therapies can benefit cancer patients in a number of important ways. They help patients cope with the emotional and spiritual aspects of living with cancer such as rare diseases like mesothelioma as well as the physical side effects (pain, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting) that can really take their toll on a person's health.

Patients typically feel a tremendous loss of control when they discover they have cancer. EFT and other healing therapies give them a renewed sense of being in control. When integrated with standard medical treatment, alternative therapies offer hope to cancer patients. Even those with the most serious cases are most likely faced with an unfavorable mesothelioma life expectancy can reap the benefits of energy healing. By healing the mind, all patients should be aware that it helps to heal the body.

EFT, healing touch, and intuitive bodywork are three different forms of energy therapy. Patients can receive them alone (EFT tapping, for example) or in combination (as intuitive bodywork integrated with healing touch). Each therapy works in a unique way to support natural healing. They do this by clearing energy blocks at many different levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. This allows for the free movement of universal life energy.

While energy healing cannot treat or cure cancer, it can help patients explore the roots of their illness and manage their current symptoms. Numerous anecdotal reports suggest EFT and other energy therapies can help cancer patients bear their symptoms, pain, and stress.

Some people consider energy healing to be humankind’s definitive healing tool, supporting a person's journey from brokenness back to wholeness. Conventional medicine (surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation) usually produces painful side effects in people who are already suffering pain. EFT, healing touch, and intuitive bodywork -- together or apart -- can minimize the negative effects of cancer treatment.

The National Cancer Institute, reports a growth in the number of cancer patients using energy therapy as an alternative healing method. They use these alternative treatments, not in replace of, but alongside traditional cancer treatment. Complementary therapy helps patients manage cancer in a safe, non-invasive manner. And it is ideal for patients with serious illnesses like mesothelioma or pancreatic cancer, because it helps them accept death and reach inner peace.

Patients who are diagnosed with cancer naturally want to fight their disease. While conventional treatment is a proven method for battling cancer, alternative therapies are often essential for helping patients survive the fight. EFT, healing touch, and intuitive bodywork may work better for some patients than others. But patient testimonials and anecdotal reports make energy healing worth exploring.

Kidneys Which Guard Our Blood

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 11:58:00 +0000

Kidneys are most important part of our body. Kidneys purify blood and maintain chemical balance in the body. Kidneys have the ability to remove toxins and extra water in the form of Urine. Kidneys resemble to Black eye pea or bean and is almost equal to closed hand in the form of punch. Kidneys lie almost in the middle of back and below the rib cage. It's a very perfect reprocessing machine. In one day kidneys purify 200 quart of blood from toxin and extra water.

Blood gets toxicated because of food and continous work in cells. When our body gets the required food from blood, then remanings are added as discharge to blood. If kidneys don't remove this toxin, this toxin becomes poison for the body.

Kidneys filter the blood through small holes called Nephron. Each individual kidney contains 1 million Nephron's. Inside each Nephron there is web of blood tubes called Glomerulus, which is connected to Tubule ( which collects urine ). Blood is purified by passing through this complex mechanism. First that matter enters in the kidney which can be sent back to body after pufication. Kidneys gather phosphorus, sodium, potassium and sends it back to the body. So in one way kidneys keep balance of chemicals in body.

Other than purification kidneys also release two kinds of hormones known as:

1. Erythropoietin ( which is responsible for red blood cell formation )
2. Calcitriol ( Which is form of vitamin D and keeps balance of calcium in bones and keeps chemical balance in body )

Working of Kidneys

If you are healthy that means your kidneys are also working hundred percent fine. But human doesn't need to be 100 percent for working. Some individuals are born with only one kidney, some donate there one kidney. In each case the body functions perfectly.

The problem arises when kidneys start doing work at or below 25 percent. If this goes to 15 percent the body cannot survive unless it is attached to dialysis. Transplantation has to done at this stage.

In most of kidney diseases Nephrons are the number one target of infections, due to which kidneys cannot purify to there perfection. Infections normally attack both kidneys. If an individual has sugar and blood pressure then that individual is at risk of kidney infection.

In Diabetics, glucose does not gets dissolved fully in blood, and this glucose then harms Nephron. If the level of glucose remains less in blood, kidneys can be remained safe. High blood pressure on the other hand effects the small veins in kidneys due to which kidneys can't perform well.

Glomerulus Disease

There are some diseases that only effect Glomerulus due to which when patient urinates blood also comes along with urine. In this condition patient has to keep his/her blood pressure in control.

Why Kidneys get infected

If you eat poisonous matter or get hit hard by accident, you can get kidney infection. Some times taking medicine for a long period of time can also cause kidney infections. According to research those medicine which contain Aspirin, Acetaminophen, ibuprofen etc are dangerous for kidneys.

During accident if large amount of blood is discharged from body or you got hit very hard, this can immediately effect the proper working of kidneys.

Symptoms of Kidney Infections

If you get kidney infection at first you will not notice it at all you will feel yourself perfectly fine. But as time passes by, if you feel that urine is coming too much or less, you feel dizzy all day, or feel very sleepy all the time, feel tired, you don't feel hungry, if you eat you feel that if you might vomit. Your hand and feet get swollen. You feel very bad head aches for some time when you get up from sleep. These all are symptoms of kidney infection.

Medical Tests of Kidneys

There are different types of tests to check whether kidney is infected or not.

1. Creatinine Test ( creat ).
2. Creatinine Clearance (CrCl).
3. Urea.
4. Glomerular Filtration Rate ( GFR and eGFR).
5. Haemoglobin Test (Hb).
6. Platelets test (plats).
7. Albumin.
8. White cell count test.
9. PTH which stands for Parathyroid Hormone.

How to fight Kidney Infections

If the conditions of kidney is very bad, unfortunately kidneys then cannot be repaired. You have to do dialysis or transplantation.

If kidney infection is in early stages, then through different medicines and methods kidneys can be kept healthy. Also one has to make sure that paralysis and heart attack are in control, because these can cause kidney infection. If patient is diabetic, keep the sugar level controlled and before taking any medicine ask doctor.

The Play of Diet

Kidney patient should know that daily necessities can worsen the infection. Like protein, which is vital part for normal body functions. Infected kidneys cannot remove proteins from toxins, so normally doctors advise there patients to avoid protein so that kidneys have to work less. But protein has to be maintained by body so ask alternative foods that can provide protein.

Patient should avoid smoking, avoid salt as it increases the blood pressure. Keep balance of potassium in body. Healthy kidneys can remove excessive potassium from body, but infected kidneys cannot perform this function very well, so be careful.

If kidneys stop working completely

This condition is called Uremia, in which kidney stop working completely. So patient has to do dialysis in this case. There are two types of dialysis namely:

1. Hemodialysis
2. Peritonial dialysis

If patient is lucky enough he can get donation of kidney which is known as kidney transplantation. So always drink plenty of water so that kidneys keep working properly.

Responsibilities Of Patient

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 10:33:00 +0000

Whenever a patient goes to doctor, he/she has some basic responsibilities that must be kept in mind. Just like doctor has responsibility, similarly patients also have responsibilities. If you want to know about these responsibilities then keep on reading.

1. If you have an appointment with the doctor, then come on schedule. It's better to come fifteen minutes before the actual time. If by any reason you cannot come at specified time, tell the receptionist about the situation. This is to make sure that no one gets frustrated by your late coming. Many doctors don't give appointments because they know that patient will not come on time or if patient does manages to come (not on time), patient tries to get first to the doctor, which is kind of frustrating for others.

2. Doctor will ask you about your condition, which is known as taking history. You should go prepared for this. Which condition started when, you should know about it. If you think that you might forget about some specific condition take a note about it. If there is surgery done on you, you should tell this about doctor.

3. You should keep record of your previous disease and of those current diseases. So that when you show your medical record to doctor, doctor can easily diagnose you. Keeping track of things is a very good habit.

4. What ever medications you are taking. Tell them to doctor, so that doctor knows what you are up to. If the name of medicine is difficult to remember write down the name of it.

5. Whatever doctor suggests, understand it thoroughly. If there are foods that you have to avoid do not hesitate to ask.

6. Act fully to what doctor has prescribed to you. Don't change your doctor or prescription, if any one of your family members or friends say to do so. If you keep on going to same doctor, the doctor can understand your disease much better rather then changing the doctor and starting again from scratch.

7. If doctor asks to meet you after some days of prescription, then you should follow as the doctor says.

These are some important points that every patient should keep in mind when going to see doctor. These are responsibilities of a patient, which every patient should know.

Live Long By Having Mediterranean Diet

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 18:49:00 +0000

All of us must be familiar with the word "Meditate" where you try to understand yourself by sitting in a quiet room. But very less know about Mediterranean diet, and if you are woman and you are on Mediterranean diet you can live upto 15 years more and if you are a male you can expect to live 8 years more.

So what is Mediterranean diet ?

Mediterranean diet is a combination of vegetables ( any vegetable), nuts, fish, meat, olive oil, fruits along with very small amount of alcohol. If you are doing excercise daily and if you combine this basic food combination to your daily diet provided the condition that you don't smoke you can expect to live longer as much as 15 years. According to the study which was done in Netherlands at the university of Maastricht under the supervision of Piet van den brandt, who is epidemiology professor, observed almost 120,000 men and women together whose age ranged from 55 to 69 years during the year of 1986 and yes this was ten year study period. He said that " If you choose to live healthy by taking a healthy life style then this has profound effects on health as well as age. The Mediterranean diet effects were more visible in women than the men." The effects were 15 years more in women and 8 years more in men, which is very significant effect. So now the decision is yours that which one do you choose a long healthy life or short unhealthy life by taking all the garbage of fast food ? The choice will always be yours. So in my opinion stay healthy by eating healthy food items.

A new hope to treat Parkinson Disease

noreply@blogger.com (fahd iqbal) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 02:10:00 +0000

According to new study which is published in FASEB journal, nicotine actually helps in preventing Parkinson's disease, nicotine works by making a shield around Dopamine neurons found in brain. This is a break through because it will help to unravel the new treatments. According to the Patrick Michel, who is the joint author of institute du cerveau et de la Moelle Epiniere, Hospital de la Salpetriere, which is in Paris said that " This study will raise the hope to help the patients with Parkinson disease at an early stage or yet even at that stage where this disease is not apparent."

So in my opinion we should include some amount of nicotine in our diet through the use of coffee or tea, but not through cigarette definetely not through cigarettes. Till then stay healthy by eating healthy foods.
