Risk of Stroke, Make Changes for Better Health

May is National Stroke Awareness Month and the goal of the month's activities is to reduce the impact and the incidence of strokes. According to the National Institutes of Health, each year more than 700,000 Americans have strokes. The incidence of this health risk affects finances, relationships, mental health and community support resources. Focus on avoiding strokes should be ongoing and not simply the target of activities one month of the year. In counseling clients to set goals for a healthier lifestyle, my recommendations to improve well-being will help in reducing the risk of stroke. You can take easy steps to reduce your risk of having a stroke. They include losing weight, lowering blood pressure, exercising more, drinking in moderation, and if you are a smoker, stopping. The tactics you can take are clearly linked. In losing weight you will want to adjust your diet, choosing plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods. Choose low-fat lean meats such as poultry, fish or beef. Make sure the milk, cheese and yogurt items are low-fat. The key to losing weight is to limit your food intake so that you use more calories than you eat. To lose one pound you'll need to burn 3500 calories or cut out 3500 calories that you typically eat. Get moving, add exercise. Make exercise a regular part of your daily routine. It is recommended that you exercise about 30 minutes a day five to six days a week. The addition of exercise will ramp up the number of calories your body burns. If carving out 30 minutes is tough for you to do, consider breaking it up into smaller, maybe 15 minute intervals. Walking is one of the easiest ways to get your body moving---invest in a pedometer or get an app for your smartphone that counts your steps each day. Weight loss and exercise will help you bring that blood pressure down. Good eating habits and consuming less salt and more potassium-rich foods are beneficial in controlling blood pressure. Potassium rich foods include white beans, lentils, baked sweet and white potatoes, cantaloupe, bananas, halibut, and salmon. In tackling the blood pressure challenge, make sure you check-in with your health care to provider so that, if needed, medication to aid in lowering blood pressure can be considered. Drinking alcohol can be protective and a risk factor in stroke prevention. Drinking in moderation such as 5-ounces of wine, 12-ounces of beer or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits daily is considered heart healthy and can aid in decreasing the risk of blood clots. Heavy drinking on the other hand is a risk factor which can increase the odds that you may have a stroke. Dl1xSrKc

Homeopathy Exposing The Big Pharma Involvement

Not so long ago the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) held a public hearing at Silver Spring Maryland USA with patients, end users, health care professionals, carers, industry related representatives and others concerned to express their views on the subject of "homeopathic products and their application." As expected, this forum comprised of friends, foes and those sitting on the fence regarding homeopathy. The FDA took in the oral and written discussions with a focus on their regulatory framework regarding homeopathic products, and a viewpoint towards examining whether or not they should impose more scrutiny, regulation and tighter control. Unlike pharmaceutical products, Current FDA policies officially allow homeopathic remedies to find their place on shelves for selling without the need for efficacy or safety evaluations. However, it has been said that homeopathy is controversial, lacking in supporting science (defended by practitioners, as well as the efficacy issues)...
