Manage Your Diabetes with a Diet Menu

This is a great starter diet for someone suffering from Diabetes, who is looking for an effective way to manage the health and fitness portion of their diabetes management plan. Be sure to always consult your physician before beginning any new diet plan. This diet provides 50 percent starches, 30 percent proteins and 20% fat in calories, and follows the diabetic food pyramid's method of creating an eating plan. Make sure to only eat the foods that are on the list below, and only eat the amount that is specified. It is important that you do not skip over or miss meals, or snack in between the planned meals. All foods should be measured, which can be done using a standard measuring cup, teaspoon or tablespoon. Foods are generally measured after cooking to ensure proper portion size. Make sure always to bake, broil or boil meats rather than frying, unless you are specifically designed to do so. Special foods are not necessary, as you're only required to stick to low calorie and lean foods, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables rather than canned or frozen, and skimmed milk instead of whole or Vitamin D.

As a diabetic, make sure to avoid sweets, candy, sugar, honey, pies and anything else that is prepared with sugar. You should also avoid foods that are high in fat or cholesterol, as well as alcoholic beverages like beer and wine. Avoid fats, sweets, fried foods and foods prepared in sugar or oil in order to control or maintain your weight. Make sure to avoid red meats, high cholesterol and fat foods and alcoholic beverages at all times, regardless of the goals in your personal diet management plan.

A standard 1800 calorie sample menu involves two fruits, two breads, one meat, two fats, one milk, and a free food. This translates to approximately 2/3 of a cup of apple juice, of of a cup of oatmeal, one slice of toast, one egg that is soft cooked, one cup of percent or skim milk, and a glass of coffee or tea for breakfast . For lunch, expect to have two meats, two breads, one vegetable, two fruits, two fats and a free food, which translates to something like a half cup of tuna, two slices of bread, a half cup of tomato slices, a cup of mixed fruit, a teaspoon of margarine, and a glass of tea with lemon. The ideal dinner consists of three meats, two breads, one raw vegetable and two fats. This can translate to three ounces of baked chicken, a half cup of mashed potatoes, a slice of bread and a cup of broccoli or a tossed salad with a tablespoon of salad dressing.

Obesity is Fatal

Every additional study that is done on obese people is bringing new links to light and so obesity is now viewed as a more dangerous condition than before. The reports that are publicized often never reach their tasks, or if they do then they're ignored or dismissed by the people they are trying to reach. To make an impact on the people who need to know this information, steps should be taken to force the acknowledgment of problems by those people. Their return attitude to nutritional problems needs to be reviewed through strong action.

There are a range of different illnesses that can be attributed to the fact that someone is obese. Obesity may be the cause, either directly or indirectly, of many potentially fatal conditions. There are certain illnesses, like heart disease that are well known to be exacerbated or caused by obesity, but more and more illnesses are being shown to be linked to obesity. The latest scientific studies have now linked cancer to obesity , particularly kidney cancer. The results of different studies are published repeatedly in different newspapers and magazine in the hope that they will persuade people to change their lifestyles.

This has been ineffective since one of the most difficult things is trying to persuade obese people that they are the ones who need to enact the changes in their lives. The idea that they will be one of the people who is unaffected by the health problems is very loyal in obese people. Even those people who realize that they can be affected are likely to be unwilling to do anything to change their lifestyle. They ask why the conditions were not a problem before, which is a major misconception. A rise in the number of obese people has led to more studies of obesity which has brought the links between obesity and other conditions to light.

One method is to weigh obese people and force them to take steps to agree for each pound above an acceptable weight. This can take the form of a variety of different actions including community service. Spending time attending to obese people who are suffering from diseases related to obesity could force them to face the harsh reality of the situation they have put themselves in. The acknowledgment of the link between those problems and their lifestyle may provide motivation to change their lifestyle.

Another method would be to create an additional tax which could either be levied on their weight by pound. Alternatively the tax can be on different types of food depending on what their nutritional value is. The tax they pay can go towards the health care that they will need for problems related to their excessive weight. This will help to potentially relieve taxes for those people who have healthy lives who are currently forced to pay for those services. The more they weigh the more they must contribute to the health services they use as a result.

Mouth Ulcers and Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Mouth ulcer has become progressively less common since the last 10 years; it is a disease which mainly affects those over 45 and is seen twice as often in men. Improved dental care and mouth hygiene may be factors in its decrease, but the best proven link is with pipe and cigar smoking, particularly when associated with drinking. Mouth ulcers also cause a problem of bad breath. As pipes have given way to cigarettes, cancer of the lung has increased and cancer of the mouth decreased.

The mouth is the proximal part of the long digestive tract. It can be prone to trauma and infections and such causes can be varied.

o Infection: Those affecting the oral cavity could be viral, bacterial, and at times even fungal. Patients on antibiotics and steroid therapy or a prolonged period of time have been noted to get fungal infections of the mouth, due essentially to a change in the bacterial flora of the mouth. These microbes many a times causes bad breath.

o Chemical Causes: Chronic cigar and cigarette smoking, habitual chewing of strong peppermints, betel nuts and alcoholism are possible causes as are industrial chemicals such as mercury or nitrous oxide (the latter combines with saliva, causing a corrosive action in the mouth, damaging its mucous membrane).

o Traumatic Causes: Injuries from sharp teeth, accidental biting, badly- fitted dentures, sharp toothpicks are some of the possible causes. Also the oral cavity mucosa could have been damaged by swallowing extremely hot drinks and food.

o Allergies: Frequent allergens to some sensitive oral cavities are the certain lozenges, mouth washes, and at times even drugs. In women, lipstick can be a cause.

o Vitamin Deficiency: Degenerative and ulcerative changes in the mouth can be due to a deficiency of the Vitamin B group and Vitamin C.

o Diseases: Diseases of indeterminate origin, such as lichen planus, erythema multiforma and oral pemphigus can easily affect the oral cavity.

o Brushing Methods: Using improper toothbrushes and unsuitable toothpaste, combined with vigorous brushing, can subject the mucous membranes especially around the teeth, to ulceration, and later too superimposed infections.

o Salivary Gland Deficiency: When there is saliva deficiency, the oral cavity is dry and the mucous membrane easily damaged.

o Nervous State: Those who are extremely depressed, worried and unduly concerned have been noted to get frequent mouth ulcerations and infections.

The ulcers which commonly occur are recurrent aphthous ulcers. These, unlike malignant ulcers, are found more often in females and are most troublesome at an earlier age, between 10 and 40.

The development of an abscess ulceration is usually heralded by soreness or a burning feeling in the mouth; they are round or oval, less than five in number and under 10mm in diameter. Treatment is by the local application of steroids: Adcortyl (Triamcinolone) in Orabase, or by holding a steroid pellet containing either weak hydrocortisone or betamethasone, against the ulcer.

Abscess ulceration runs in families; in some women it is associated with the premenstrual period, and in other patients can be precipitated by minor injury or emotional stress. Eighty per cent of abscess ulceration can be classified as minor. In the remaining 20 per cent of cases the ulcers are larger, often more than five in number, recur more frequently, heal more slowly, are accompanied by feelings of general ill health and frequently respond less well to locally applied weak steroids.

The occasional patient may need a course of full-strength steroid tablets. The persistent abscess ulcer, which can last for up to six weeks, may be mistaken for a cancerous growth. The clue to the correct diagnosis of major abscess ulceration is that there is a history of recurrent attacks, but both types of ulcers can be confused with a chronic sore due to ill-fitting false teeth.

Any persistent abnormality in the mouth whether an ulcer or a hard lump, should be shown to your doctor, who, unless he is absolutely sure of its nature, can always arrange for it to be examined microscopically.

If I Miss My Spouse During The Separation, Does It Mean I Shouldn’t Get Divorced?

I sometimes hear from people who felt sure that separating and then pursuing a divorce was the best idea. Sometimes, they firmly believe that their marriage is too far gone to save. Other times, they believe that they have fallen out of love with their spouse. But then, at some point during the separation that they felt sure would lead to a divorce, a strange thing begins to happen. They start to miss their spouse. Much to their surprise, they are deeply affected by their spouse’s absence. And they often have no idea what this should mean for their marriage or for their expected a divorce.

I heard from a wife who said: “for the last five years, my husband and I have seriously grown apart. For the past year and a half, I have been closely watching my marriage. Because I was trying to determine if there was anything left and if I should try to save it. I decided that it was truly over because I believed that I felt nothing for my spouse and for my marriage. My husband had a hard time accepting this, so I decided to pursue a separation before filing for divorce. I figured this would give him some time to adjust and would be the best and most kindest way to go about this. I felt like my mind was made up. We’ve been separated for about four weeks. Well, for the last couple of weeks, I have started to miss my husband desperately and I don’t know what to make of this. My best friend says that I just miss him because he had almost become a habit and that this doesn’t mean that I still love him or that I should change my mind about the divorce. But I don’t know if she is right. I find myself thinking of him longingly and remembering some of the good times in our marriage. Is this normal? Is my marriage still over?”

I couldn’t decide if this wife’s marriage should be over or not. This was a decision that only the couple should make. However, if I’m being honest, I think that the wife missing her husband was quite telling and important. I will tell you why below.

Missing Your Spouse During A Separation Means That You Aren’t Indifferent And In My Opinion, This Is Significant: I know that many people will disagree with what I am about to say. But I believe that if you still have some feelings for your spouse, this could potentially mean that your marriage isn’t really over. I believe this is true even if you are feeling negative emotions like anger, frustration, or confusion. Because I think that if you are having any feelings at all, this means that you are still invested in your marriage, even if this frustrates or upsets you.

I know that people will often say that you are missing your spouse simply because your habit has been broken. They will say that splitting up with take some adjustment even if there is nothing left. I actually disagree with this. I believe that feeling nothing or a sense of indifference might be an indication that is over. But this wasn’t the case here.

I find that people who are truly over their partner or their marriage actually feel a sense of peace and acceptance. There is no anger, frustration, longing, or confusion. There just isn’t anything more. Because both people know that they have done all that they could and yet it still wasn’t enough.

I couldn’t tell this wife what she was feeling or why she was feeling it. But it did seem pretty evident to me that she hadn’t yet reached the point of indifference and I believe that this was telling. Of course, this is only my opinion. And the only opinion that really mattered was her own.

Where To Go From Here: Again, this isn’t my decision to make. It truly was the wife’s decision and she would likely have to get still, take some time, and dig deep so that she could listen to what her heart was trying to tell her. This was a serious decision that might strongly impact two lives.

So this is only my opinion, but it seems to me that it makes sense to not rush this. She could just take her time and see if the feelings continued on. I wasn’t sure that she should completely share this with her husband until she was sure of her feelings. Because I have been the spouse who was on the other side of this, and I wouldn’t have wanted for my husband to give me false hope until he was sure.

So I would suggest just remaining present and holding off on filing for a divorce until she was more sure of her feelings. Regardless of whether this relationship was eventually going to end, it is always a good idea to leave things in a positive way. It is always a good idea to maintain a positive relationship with someone who will always be very important to you. So I would suggest not making any rash decisions and to just watch and listen. Your heart might be trying to tell you something and you can’t receive the message if you are not listening and willing to hear what it has to say.

With literally hundreds of lotions and creams that promise to heal dry itchy skin, it can not be easy finding the 5% of products that are actually effective.

But, I have a secret for you …

I no longer have dry skin, and so can you!

So what the secret? …

I want you to think about something for a second.

When you use a skin care product, what is that will determine whether it is effective or not?

Most people would say the popularity of the product. I understand that we tend to be attracted to popular skincare products and remedies.

However when it comes to finding an effective skin care product, you need not look any further than the ingredients that it contains.

Why?

This is because it is the contents of the product that will be absorbed by your skin. Forget about popularity or the models endorsing the product.

So what's the secret to finding a dry skin remedy that works?

The secret lies in finding a body cream or lotion that contains natural oils that can easily penetrate your skin.

Look for a product that contains:

1. Grapeseed oil
2. Avocado oil
3. Jojoba oil
4. Macadamia oil.

What do the above oils have in common?

They are organic and will mix well with your skin's sebum. Sebum is the oil our skin releases to keep itself well lubricated.

Warning: Do not neglect the above.

A dry skin remedy that contains the above oils will be effective because it deep moisturizes the skin.

Care And Treatment Of Diabetes

There are three different types of diabetes and each requires different treatment. Diabetes is not curable, it is a life long disease that can however be kept under control with proper care. Type 1 diabetes care – this type of diabetes is also known as insulin dependent diabetes; it often starts in childhood or before the age of 20. This type of diabetes occurs when one's immune system gradually attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

These are the typical symptoms of Type 1 diabetes:
frequent urination
excessive thirst
unexplained weight loss
unexplained hunger
blurred vision
numbness of lower limbs or tangling sensation
tiredness and fatigue
dry itchy skin
sores that are slow to heal
nausea, vomiting and stomach aches

People with Type 1 diabetes must use insulin daily failing which, can lead to glucose fluctuation in the blood stream and that can turn into an emergency situation at times. Proper monitoring of the blood sugar levels can alleviate the fear of having to be faced with such an emergency. The control of the sugar level can now be done right in your home with a specialized easy to use machine.

Type 2 diabetes care – in this case of diabetes the body fails to use properly insulin which is needed to take and use sugar from the blood cells, thus, causing high blood sugar.

Treating type 2 diabetes often needs planning your meals carefully in order not to raise blood sugar in the blood; when this step is not enough you will need to take specific medicines to bring down the blood sugar.
In due time diabetes can cause severe side effects such as:

kidney failure – which can be rented only by kidney transplant
Heart attack
Amputation of limbs
Blindness

The main way to take control of your diabetes is to educate yourself and learn how to efficiently keep down the blood sugar levels in your body. This requires perseverance on one's part especially if you are taking care of a minor. Constant checking of your blood sugar level, often 4-5 times a day will help you take charge and do not have to deal with an emergency situation.

Some Acne Treatments That Are Available

If you want to help yourself with acne treatment, you might try diet or reducing stress. You may also guard against touching or popping your pimples. If these methods do not work, there are certainly other acne treatments available.

Again, doing it on your own, you can by benzoyl peroxide creams over the counter. These creams have been used for years. They have been proven quite effective. The main thing to remember is that they take time, maybe four months or longer.

If you go to a doctor, you might be prescribed a low dose of Accutane. This drug should not be used by pregnant women, however, because it can cause birth defects or even fetal death. The doctor may also have you use antibiotics. Oral antibiotics are generally used in conjuction with vitamin A, while topical antibiotics are used with benzoyl peroxide.

There are also new treatments available. Blue light therapy is an exciting breakthrough in acne treatments. This involves a blue light system available in a dermatologist's office. The patient is exposed to the system for a little over 15 minutes. It works by destroying harmful bacteria. A preparation called ALA or Levulan can also be applied thirty minutes before the blue light therapy proceeds as usual. Results seem to be good and appear to have long-lasting effects. The treatment shows improvement in the skin in two to four weeks.

Another new acne treatment is diode laser therapy. This form of therapy works to cause the sebaceous glands to produce less oil. This treatment has been shown to decrease acne lesions on the back. Pulsed light and heat treatments both destroy bacteria and cause the sebaceous glands to produce less oil by shrinking them.

A couple of treatments used in spas are now being applied by doctors as acne treatments. One of these is chemical peels. A chemical peel removes blackheads and whiteheads, unclogs pores, and exfoliates. This is accomplished by putting an acid such as salicylic acid on the face. Another procedure which does basically the same thing but in a different way is microdermabrasion. This is done by spraying on crystals and vacuuming them off the skin. If these two treatments are not done by a professional, they can aggravate acne rather than clearing it up.

Acne is difficult to treat and it usually takes time. There is actually no known cure. In the meantime, doctors have many acne treatments available. If ordinary methods do not clear that acne up, maybe it's time to see a dermatologist.

Get Rid of Dust Mite Allergy Symptoms

By Definition, when your immune system does not function properly and leads to a hypersensitive reaction because of a substance which is otherwise non-malignant then you are suffering from allergy. The Dust mite is the main cause of many allergies. Surprisingly, you can find dust mite allergy symptoms in around 10 percent of the US population. Also, around 90 percent of asthma sufferers are found to have an allergy to this little critter.

As the dust mite is found in almost all houses, it can be a challenging task to overcome the condition or symptoms that it causes.

It is quite possible that your symptoms may get worse when you are cleaning your house, vacuuming or changing the bed sheet, as this is when you are most likely to disturb this microscopic bug. In a few serious cases, the noticeable symptoms may be labored breathing and wheezing.

The components contained in the dust attack respiratory passages and this is what causes these asthma or hay fever like symptoms. Also, these symptoms can lead to skin conditions like eczema, which is an itchy skin inflammation. Pollen and dust are primary causes of symptoms being intensified. There are also particles that float in the sunlight beam which include dust and other waste. It is these particles that invoke the reaction of the dust mite allergy.

Benzyl benzoate and tannic acid are the most widely used chemicals in this regard.

If you do opt for chemicals be careful to avoid over-use as this in itself can cause respiratory problems. There are also many spread powders, sprays and cleaning products that are helpful to control allergy symptoms. So basically the only real way to get rid of dust mite allergy symptoms, is to be thorough in the cleaning of your home and ensure a safe dust-free environment. So, what are you waiting for? Clean up your home and ensure the safety of your family from dust mites today!

Panic Attacks – What Can Trigger Them?

Anxiety disorders and panic attacks can strike anyone under the sun. They do not seem to spare even the youth, children, and elderly people. Everyday, a case of one or the other is being reported. More and more people are approaching doctors and therapists with problems of stress, anxiety, and panic attacks.

Causes

There is a wide range of treatment plans for these maladies; however, doctors and their patients fail to analyze the root causes of anxiety disorders and panic attacks.

Panic attacks can come suddenly, while others have a definite, known cause. However, every disorder has some factor responsible for it.

Here are some common factors that cause these anxiety issues.

1. Genetic

Studies have revealed the fact that people can inherit their panic attacks or anxiety disorders from their maternal or paternal ancestors. The disorder can be passed on from the paternal or the maternal side of the family.

Twins are more susceptible to panic attacks; if one twin gets it, the other developments a panic attack too.

Many times, a petty domestic issue or a problem can trigger a panic attack, and genes have nothing to do it although family has.

2. Passive Nature

If you make a character study of those who suffer from panic attacks, you will be surprised to observe that passive people who severely assert themselves suffer from anxiety disorders or panic attacks. Inability to assert oneself can be an inborn trait or could be developed owed to certain unfortunate circumstances.

3. Vitamin Deficiencies

You may feel surprised to learn that vitamin deficiencies can trigger panic attacks. However, a person who lacks vitamin B is pride. Vitamin B deficiency also manifests as disorders in the ear ear, hyperthyroidism, hypoglycemia, and so on. In such a case, take of vitamin B can solve your problems of panic attack.

Cure vitamin deficiency problems, and you will automatically cure anxiety disorders and panic attacks.

4. Phobias

Irrational fears or phobias about certain things, people, or circumstances can lead to a panic attack or anxiety disorder. People may be terrified of water, elevators, fires, heights, and so on. People who never had a phobia in their life might feel that phobias are absurd. However to people suffering from them, phobias are real. These people usually end up suffering from anxiety disorders.

5. Drugs

Some drugs can actually cause anxiety disorders. These drugs could either be prescribed or unprescribed. Some drugs combine chemicals that do not agree with certain individuals. Intake of such drugs will cause irritability and restlessness, two common signs of a panic attack.

The medical world offers zillions of treatment plans for the effective management of panic attacks. Therapy offers a long-term solution to these medical problems. If you find it difficult to control a panic attack, do not hesitate to seek professional help. Do some research and find out what alternative health options may be available to you as well.

Discover the Normal Causes of an Anxiety Attack

For understanding the causes of an anxiety attack, we should first understand what anxiety is and what factors can cause anxiety. In his daily life a person may experience anxiety often but most people have no idea why an anxiety attack is triggered.

Anxiety is an emotion which we feel when we are in some kind of tense situation. For some people it can be studying hard for a major exam, for others it can be prior to giving a speech in front of a group of people while for the shy and introverted type it can be going for a blind date.

It is absolutely all right to feel anxious of certain things or worry over certain circumstances if you have a rational and logical reason behind it. In that case anxiety would be just a typical and rational reaction. But if you start feeling unexpected gushes of overwhelming terror which comes without any warning and for no apparent reason, then its time to be cautious, because now it is no longer regular anxiety but it could be the start of an attack.

It is very important to understand the causes of these attacks as they will help you immensely in avoiding such attacks from occurring in future. If you know which situations trigger such an attack then you can avoid them or possibly eliminate them altogether.

The difference between regular anxiety and an anxiety attack is that such attacks are much more intense than just the feelings of stress or anxiety that you experience in everyday life. An attack can be described as a sudden feeling of intense fear or of approaching disaster that will strike without any warning and for no logical reason.

Attacks can sometimes be triggered due to certain medications, caffeine or related products. It can also be due to abnormal heart rhythm or some other problem related to the heart. For some people stress related to work, relationship or death of a loved one can trigger a sudden attack. Other disorders like Phobic Disorder, Stress Disorder or Generalized Anxiety Disorder can also lead to an attack.

Such attacks are caused by a change in the functioning of Amygdala, a small organ inside the brain that regulates anxiety recurrence when there is an anxiety provoking sensation, thought or situation. When a certain level of anxiety is reached then it results in a rush of Adrenalin which leads to producing sever symptoms that reach a peak in as little as a few minutes time.

Although the peak of the anxious feelings range anywhere from five to thirty minutes. However, its resulting symptoms may last a little longer than that. The symptoms of anxiety attacks, although sometimes completely harmless, can be extremely frightening. Some general symptoms of an attack are difficulty in breathing, intension heartbeat, palpitation, trembling, nausea, excessive sweating, chest pains, sudden chills, fear of going crazy or going to die, and the like.

The symptoms may vary from person to person depending on the situation. The intensity of the reaction may also vary greatly but that does not mean that your condition is something unusual and undiagnosed. These symptoms are just a general guide as every person reacts differently.

More often than not, an attack is a sign of some underlying anxiety disorder. It can be treated successfully with correct medication and professional help. There is no hard and fast rule in treatment of these disorders and you may not have to go costs therapies also. There are proven methods that cure you by eliminating the causes of anxiety attacks.

Symptoms of Chronic and Acute Leukemia

Discovering leukemia while it is still in an early phase is critical in its treatment because when the disease advances it starts to spread in the whole body and it's much harder to be treated.

Therefore it's important to learn the symptoms of leukemia so that you can detect its signs and take the appropriate measures. Symptoms however may vary from one person to another and they also depend on what type of leukemia the patient has. Leukemia can be divided into two major types: acute leukemia and chronic leukemia, each having its specific symptoms.

Leukemia symptoms result from the fact that the blood cells of someone suffering from leukemia are diseased and they can not fulfill their role anymore.

Patients with acute leukemia have too little red blood cells in their bodies which leads to a general feeling of weakness and to a pale color.
