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.

Arthritis – There are more than 100 types of arthritis, but the most common type is osteoarthritis.

Other forms of the disease are rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.

High Cholesterol

Posted in Fitness, Medical, Nutrition on August 22nd, 2010 by Health & Fitness Guru – 4 Comments

High cholesterol inside your arteries, a dangerous change has taken place in the balance of  fatty substances that circulates in your bloodstream.

To keep your arteries from getting clogged up and prevent them from getting any more clogged up  -  you’ll need to lower your cholesterol.

But not all cholesterol is harmful.  Low density  lipoprotein  (LDL) cholesterol is the bad stuff;   high density lipoprotein  (HDL) cholesterol is beneficial, as it removes LDL from the blood. Often changes in diet and lifestyle are enough to bring cholesterol  levels back to a healthy balance.
