Vitamin C

Posted in Nutrition on August 13th, 2011 by Health & Fitness Guru – Be the first to comment

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body doesn’t store it.

You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.

It is important to maintain a healthy colon because if it becomes clogged, it will have an effect on your health. Once the colon is overloaded with toxins, you may become ill. As with the normal body functions, the digestive system cleans the colon to make it function properly. However, if there are too many unhealthy foods that are clogging in the colon like junk foods and preservative-filled foods, the colon and body becomes too stressed to keep up with the cleaning. To help your colon become clean and get rid of the excess waste, you may want to use detoxification program.

Walking Away From Knee Pain

Posted in Fitness, Walking on August 9th, 2011 by Health & Fitness Guru – Be the first to comment

You should contact a doctor if you have stiffness and pain in one or both knees,  especially if it lasts for more than 6 weeks;
knee pain, swelling, or tenderness, especially swelling that occurs within 24 hours of an injury;  or any pain that interfered with mobility or daily activities.

The knee is composed of two bones ( the femur and the tibia)  balancing on one another and lashed in place on all sides by muscles and connective tissue.
It is the only weight-bearing  joint in the body with this design.  And that makes the knee prone to arthritis, injuries,  and pain.

Water Retention

Posted in Fitness, Medical, Nutrition on June 9th, 2011 by Health & Fitness Guru – Be the first to comment

Pre and postmenopausal women may hold excess fluid because they’re not eating enough protein, have a high salt diet, or aren’t getting enough vitamin B6.

Food or chemical sensitivities may also contribute.  While short-term fluid retention isn’t necessarily serious, a long standing problem could be a sign of a hormone imbalance or even acute heart or kidney failure.

If  it isn’t part of a monthly menstrual cycle or if it’s accompanied by shortness of  breath, pain in the calf muscles,  or a decrease in urination, see a doctor straight away.

Intermittent Claudication

Posted in Medical, Nutrition, Yoga on February 27th, 2011 by Health & Fitness Guru – Be the first to comment

Intermittent Claudication can be a real pain – usually a burning, cramp like sensation that typically hits after you’re walked a short distance.

If you have intermittent claudication ,  it’s almost certain that you have severe arterial disease in other parts of the body and are at risk for heart attack and stroke.

When you have intermittent claudication, the arteries that feed the muscles of your legs are blocked. The resulting calf discomfort can range from painful to debilitating. The typical drug treatment consists of two medications that improve circulation by “thinning the blood: pentoxifylline  and aspirin.

Natural Remedies for Gout

Posted in Medical, Nutrition on February 27th, 2011 by Health & Fitness Guru – Be the first to comment

Imagine some of the liquid in your body suddenly turned into glass-and the glass shattered.

That’s similar to what happens when you have an attack.  Some of your body’s uric acid,  a normal by-production of protein metabolism,
changes from a liquid into tiny crystals. Those crystals,  sharp spikes and all,  can settle in your joints.  (The joint of the big toe is their favourite.)

The resulting pain,  redness,  heat,  and swelling can be so intense that you can’t even walk.

If you have a case of bursitis or tendinitis – perhaps from typing for hours everyday or from an injury or infection that lasts more than 4 days, you need to contact a doctor. The doctor will find the cause and work with you to devise a long term treatment plan.

A dietary deficiency of the mineral manganese can lead to chronic tendinitis by causing your tendons to stretch abnormally,  you should have a blood test for levels of this mineral.
