Anemia Diet - How to Treat Anemia Naturally Through Diet?
Anemia is defined as hemoglobin concentration in blood below the lower limit of the normal range for the age and sex of the individual. In adults, the lower extreme of the normal hemoglobin is taken as 13 g% for males and 11.5% for females. New born infants have higher hemoglobin levels and therefore, 15% is taken as the lower limit at birth, whereas at 3 months, the lower limit is taken as 9.5%. Although hemoglobin value is employed as the only parameter for determining whether or not anemia is present, the red cell counts, haematocrit(PCV) and absolute values (MCV, MCH and MCHC) provide alternate means of assessing anemia. Anemia has a complicated technical definition, but in simple terms it means that a person’s blood contains a lower than normal amount of red blood cells or other elements that help transport oxygen throughout the body. Often caused by a lack of iron, anemia gradually starves the body of the oxygen it needs, leading to symptoms such as extreme skin pallor, shortness of breath, heart palpitations and fatigue.
Say No to Breast Cancer
We hear it all the time…lose weight for your health. Few people however, realize the extent to which this is critical to their physical well being and ultimately their life expectancy.
In January 2003, the Journal of the American Medical Association featured a study finding that obesity appears to lessen life expectancy, especially among young adults. The researchers compared Body-Mass Index (BMI) to longevity and found a correlation between premature death and higher BMIs. For example, a 20-year-old white male, 5′10″ weighing 288 pounds with a BMI of greater than 40 was estimated to lose 13 years of his life as a result of obesity.Jamie McManus, M.D., F.A.A.F.P. and author of “Your Personal Guide to Wellness” notes that while this study referenced extreme levels of obesity, there are still millions of overweight people in developed countries with a life expectancy rate that is three to five years less than their healthy-weight counterparts. She also estimates that there are 600,000 obesity related deaths each year in America.
Symptoms Of Mesothelioma Reduced By Radiotherapy
Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer that commonly is resistant to standard forms of treatment, which include chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, or a combination thereof. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos. When asbestos enters the body, it can become lodged in the thin protective sacs that surround the lining of the lungs (pleura), heart (pericardium), or abdomen (peritoneum).
Symptoms typically do not appear until decades after first exposure, and diagnosis can be difficult. Due to the long latency period and challenges in diagnosing, mesothelioma is often not accurately identified until it has reached late stages.
