11 ways to fight your Back Pain

If you’ve been sidelined by a sore back, you’re not alone. Four out of five people experience back pain at some point, making it the fifth most common reason for visiting the doctor.

Back pain takes various forms, from a persistent dull ache to sudden sharp pain, and has many causes. Sometimes it results from a sprain, fracture, or other accidental injury. It can stem from a disease or medical condition, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal through which the spinal cord runs). Many people develop back pain simply because they’re overweight or sedentary.

The good news is that most lower back pain usually gets better within a few days or weeks, and surgery is rarely necessary. What’s more, simple self-help strategies such as these can be surprisingly effective at preventing back pain and keeping it from returning:

1. Get more exercise. If your back is hurting, you may think the best way to get relief is to limit exercise and to rest. A day or two of rest may help, but more than that may actually increase your pain. Experts now know that physical activity helps ease inflammation and muscle tension by keeping blood and nutrients flowing to the affected area. When you exercise, always start and end with stretches. 

2. Watch your weight. Extra pounds, especially in your midsection, can make back pain worse by shifting your center of gravity and putting strain on your lower back. Staying within 10 pounds of your ideal weight will help control back pain. 

3. If you smoke, stop. Because nicotine restricts the flow of nutrient-containing blood to spinal discs, smokers are especially vulnerable to back pain. 

4. Sleeping position. If you’re prone to back pain, talk with your doctor about the best sleeping position. Sleeping on your side with your knees pulled up slightly toward your chest is sometimes suggested. Prefer to sleep on your back? Put one pillow under your knees and another under your lower back. Sleeping on your stomach can be especially hard on your back. If you can’t sleep any other way, place a pillow under your hips. No matter how you sleep, a firm mattress is probably best. To firm up a soft mattress, you can place a half-inch-thick plywood board underneath.

5. Pay attention to your posture. The best chair for preventing back pain is one with a straight back or low-back support. Keep your knees a bit higher than your hips while seated. Prop your feet on a stool if you need to. If you must stand for a prolonged period, keep your head up and your stomach pulled in. If possible, rest one foot on a stool -- and switch feet every five to 15 minutes. 

6. Be careful how you lift. Don’t bend over to lift heavy objects. Bend your knees and squat, pulling in your stomach muscles and holding the object close to your body as you stand up. Don't twist your body while lifting. If you can, push rather than pull heavy objects. Pushing is easier on the back.

7. Avoid high heels. They can shift your center of gravity and strain your lower back. Stick to a one-inch heel. If you have to go higher, bring along a pair of low-heeled shoes and slip into them if you become uncomfortable.

8. Stash the skinny jeans. Clothing so tight that it interferes with bending, sitting, or walking can aggravate back pain by causing poor posture and misalignment of the spine.

9. Lighten your wallet. Sitting on an overstuffed wallet may cause discomfort and back pain. If you’re going to be sitting for a prolonged period -- while driving, for example, take your wallet out of your back pocket.

10. Pick the right handbag or briefcase. Buy a bag or briefcase with a wide, adjustable strap that’s long enough to reach over your head. A messenger bag (like the ones bike messengers wear) is made to wear this way. Having the strap on the opposite shoulder of the bag distributes the weight more evenly and helps keep your shoulders even and your back pain-free. When carrying a heavy bag or case without straps, switch hands frequently to avoid putting all the stress on one side of the body. To lighten the load, periodically purge bags, cases, backpacks, and other carriers of things you don't need.

11. Forget about back braces. Various back supports are available, from elastic bands to special corsets. They can be helpful after certain kinds of surgery, but there is not much evidence that they help treat chronic back pain. By immobilizing and thus weakening back muscles, back braces may actually aggravate back pain.

5 Tips for Parenting Overweight and Depressed Children

5 Tips for Parenting Overweight and Depressed Children

The risks of poor sleep, inactivity, and depression eating are clear. But what can parents do about it? Experts offer these tips:

1.                               Remember that kids deserve love regardless of their size. "We encourage parents to give unconditional love," Stone says. "From there, the job is to provide a healthy atmosphere -- healthy food choices, activity, and positive social interactions."

2.                               Set a good example. Parents can be more effective by setting good examples with their own healthy eating than by simply encouraging kids to diet or prohibiting certain foods. "You should help them find healthier choices," Stone tells WebMD. "Don’t restrict everything. That doesn’t work."
One way to avoid having to say "no" when your child goes for the cookie jar is to limit buying unhealthful food in the first place. Not bringing tempting food home keeps you from having to prohibit it when it’s within eyesight on the counter or within easy reach in the pantry.

3.                               Don’t scold children for overeating. This is never a good idea, but especially when a child is depressed and overweight. "That makes them feel bad and makes them more depressed," Weissman says. And ironically, they may end up eating more to soothe their hurt feelings after you’ve scolded them.

4.                               Treat the depression. Weissman suggests that parents "first try to deal with the depression and its triggers, then find alternatives to overeating that would be satisfying."

5.                               Consider psychotherapy. This can help children understand the root of a bad mood that has left them sluggish and susceptible to gaining weight. Finding that understanding can give them motivation to fight back with a healthier lifestyle, Weissman says.

Role of Calcium in Human Body

Calcium is the most important nutrient in our body.  As the most abundant mineral it has several imortant functions.  More than 99% of calcium is sotred in our bones and teeth, where it supports their structure.

Functions of Calcium:- A few of calcium functins are muscle contration, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes and sending messages through the nervous system.

Bone is a living tissue through out our life cycle.  Bones are continuously breaking down and being formed at the same time.  This process of remodeling involves a constant breaking down of bone ( resorption) and deposition of calcium into newly deposited bone.  The balance between bone resorption and deposition changes as you age.  When you are a child there is higher amount of bone formation and less break down.  In early and middle adulthood, these processes are relatively equal.  As an going adult, particularly among postmenopausal women, bone break down exceeds its formation, resulting in bone loss, which increases risk for osteoporosis.

Recent clinical studies shows that if you supplement to build bone as children, its like depositing " money in the bank " for your old age.  Bone loss is inevitable for women and men as we age, but if you stated out with a large account it helps later in life.  In other words, osteoporosis is larlgely preventable.

Calcium Deficiency:-  Calcium deficiency is usually due to inadequate supply or a failure in metabolism of calcium.  When blood calcium levels drop too low, the vital mineral is borrowed from the bones.  It is return to the bones from calcium supplied through the diet.  If an individuals diet is low in calcium, there may not be sufficient amounts of the elelment available in the blood to be returned to the bones.

Reasons for calcium deficiency:-  1) Women menopause, family history of osteoporosis, obesity, smoking, alcohol, high salt, completely non veg diet, low protien, low calcium diet.

What is psoriatic arthritis?

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the skin (psoriasis) and joints (arthritis). Psoriasis is a common skin condition affecting 2% of the Caucasian population in the United States. It features patchy, raised, red areas of skin inflammation with scaling. Psoriasis often affects the tips of the elbows and knees, the scalp, the navel, and around the genital areas or anus. Approximately 10% of patients who have psoriasis also develop an associated inflammation of their joints. Patients who have inflammatory arthritis and psoriasis are diagnosed as having psoriatic arthritis.
The onset of psoriatic arthritis generally occurs in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Males and females are affected equally. The skin disease (psoriasis) and the joint disease (arthritis) often appear separately. In fact, the skin disease precedes the arthritis in nearly 80% of patients. However, the arthritis may precede the psoriasis in up to 15% of patients. In some patients, the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis can be difficult if the arthritis precedes psoriasis by many years. In fact, some patients have had arthritis for over 20 years before psoriasis eventually appears! Conversely, patients can have psoriasis for over 20 years prior to the development of arthritis, leading to the ultimate diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis.
Psoriatic arthritis is a systemic rheumatic disease that also can cause inflammation in body tissues away from the joints other than the skin, such as in the eyes, heart, lungs, and kidneys. Psoriatic arthritis shares many features with several other arthritic conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis (formerly known as Reiter's syndrome), and arthritis associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. All of these conditions can cause inflammation in the spine and other joints, and the eyes, skin, mouth, and various organs. In view of their similarities and tendency to cause inflammation of the spine, these conditions are collectively referred to as "spondyloarthropathies."

Tips                           :-  Doint these type of exercises two to three time a week is very good.

Mis-Conception No.2:-   Fat rich diary products are harmful to health

Truth                          :- Low-fat or skimmed, yoghurt and cheese are rich in nutirents as in whole milk but
                                     contain less fat and calories.  They are rich in protien, calcium as well as Vitamin D
                                     which are benifitial for muscle and bone health.
Tip                             :- If your age is between 9-18yrs or above 50yrs you should take three servings of
                                    diary products.
Mis-Conception No.3:- Low starch and high protien food structure is conductive to weight

Truth                         :- This may cause nutritional imbalance.  Daily intake of less than 130gms starch
                                    increase blood ketone concentration and results in high uric acid levels causing
                                    kidney stones and gaut.
Tips                           :-  Diet should be balanced and must include all nutirents even including carbs & fats.

abnormal Cholesterol at young age

As per new guidelines from the National Lipid Association in the journal of Clinical Lipidology, all children should be screened for high cholesterol between the ages of 9 and 11.

Children with a family history of abnormal cholesterol levels or premature cardiovascular disease should be screened as early as 2 years.  Familial hyprcholesterolaemia (FH) is an inherited condition marked by high LDL cholesterol staring in childhood and increased risk of premature coronary heart disease.  It is important that FH is diagnosed early because changes in diet and eating habits at young age can help reduce the effects of FH later in life.  The treatment is also more effective when started early, before cholesterol deposits in blood vessels become too advanced.

SOFT DRINKS AND THEIR RISKS

A drink or a beverage means nothing but a “liquid for drinking”. Usually it contains a substantial amount of phosphoric acid. There are two types of beverages:

1.     Alcoholic beverage

2.     Non-alcoholic beverage

Alcoholic beverage: An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol, commonly known as alcohol. They are divided into three general categories: beers, wines and spirits. Alcohol is a psychoactive drug that has a depressant effect. High blood alcohol content is usually considered to be legal drunkenness because it reduces attention and slows reaction speed. Alcohol can be addictive and the state of addiction to alcohol is known as alcoholism.

Non-alcoholic beverage:  A non alcoholic beverage is a beverage that contains no alcohol. It contain less than alcohol by volume. There are actually several varieties of non-alcoholic drinks such as soda, fruit juice, tea, coffee and cocktail or mock tail.

                        Now let us understand the nature of non-alcoholic beverages called soft drinks and some reasons to stop drinking them:

A soft drink is a non-alcoholic beverage contains carbonated water, sweetener and flavoring agent. The sweetener may be sugar, high-fructose coke, soda pop, fizzy drink, tonic or carbonated beverages. It usually commercially prepared and sold in bottles or cans.

These are some powerful reasons to stop drinking soft drinks:

1.    Soft drinks are useless-   There are no nutritionally beneficial components in soft drinks as they mostly consist of filtered water and refined sugars.

2.    Weight gain and obesity- Drinking a single 330 ml can a day translates to more than 1lb of weight gain every month. For each additional soda consumed, the risk of obesity increases by 1.6 times.

3.    Diabetes- Soft drinks not only contribute to obesity but also stresses the body’s ability to process sugar. Rapidly absorbed carbohydrates like high fructose corn syrup put more strain on insulin-producing cells than other foods. When sugar enters the bloodstream quickly, the pancreas has to secrete large amounts of insulin for the body to process it. Some scientists believe that the unceasing demands that a soda habit places on the pancreas may ultimately leave it unable to keep up with the body's need for insulin.

Researchers found that women who drank one or more sugary drinks a day gained more weight and were 83% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who imbibed less than once a month.

4.  Weakened Bones And Risk Of Osteoporosis - Frequent consumption of soft drinks may also increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially in people who drink soft drinks instead of calcium-rich milk. High soda consumption (particularly cola) in children poses a significant risk factor for impaired calcification of growing bones.

5.  Dental Caries And Erosion- Soda eats up and dissolves the tooth enamel. Researchers say that soft drinks are responsible for doubling or tripling the incidence of tooth decay. Soda's acidity makes it even worse for teeth than the solid sugar found in candy. Dental experts continue to urge that people drink less soda pop, especially between meals, to prevent tooth decay and dental erosion.

6. Kidney Damage- There is good evidence that cola beverages can increase the risk of kidney problems, more so than non-cola sodas. Researches clearly demonstrated that large quantities of cola result in enhanced kidney stone formation. If you're wondering exactly how soft drinks cause kidney stones, it's because of their acidity and radical mineral imbalances. Your body must buffer the acidity of soft drinks with calcium from your own bones. As this calcium is eliminated through your urine, it slowly forms kidney stones.

7. Increased Blood Pressure- Experts have reasons to believe that over consumption of fructose, particularly in the form of soft drinks, leads to an increase in blood pressure.

8. Likely To Cause Heartburn- Soft drink consumption is a strong predictor of heartburn.

9. Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factor- Soft drink consumption is a significant risk factor for developing of metabolic syndrome18, a combination of the symptoms such as high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance.

10. Harmful Effects On Liver- There is evidence that consumption of too many soft drinks puts you under increased risk for liver cirrhosis similar to what chronic alcoholics have.

11. Impaired Digestive System- Soda, no matter who makes it, is the most acidic beverage you can buy, with a pH of about 2.5, about the same as vinegar, but the sugar content disguises the acidity. To put that into perspective, consider that battery acid has a pH of 1 and pure water has a pH level of 7.

12. Dehydration- Another problem with sodas is that they act as dehydrating diuretics. Both caffeine and sugar cause dehydration. Caffeine is a diuretic and causes an increase in urine volume. High concentration of sugar is drawing off water because your kidneys try to expel the excess sugar out of the blood. When you drink a caffeinated soda to quench your thirst, you will actually become thirstier.

13. High Caffeine Content- Another advantage of avoiding sodas is that you will avoid the unnecessary caffeine. Soda drinks are a major source of caffeine in the American diet. High doses of caffeine can cause irritability, restlessness, tension, insomnia, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal disturbance, excessive urination, irregular heartbeat and other side effects.

14. Toxins – Aspartame- The poison in diet soda is an artificial sweetener aspartame. Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. It is used because it's about 200 times sweeter than table sugar. Despite US FDA approval as a "safe" food additive, aspartame is one of the most dangerous substances added to foods. After you drink an aspartame-sweetened product, aspartame breaks down into its starting components: phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol (that further converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, which are known carcinogens.). There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption.

15. Possible Cell Damage Ability- A new health scare erupted over soft drinks recently amid evidence that they may cause serious cell damage. Research from a British university suggests a common preservative E211, known as sodium benzoate has the ability to switch off vital parts of DNA. Sodium benzoate occurs in small amounts naturally in berries, but is used in large quantities to prevent mould in soft drinks.

16. Risk rises with soda consumption

·        A 25% increased risk of impaired fasting glucose and triglyceride levels.

·        A 31% greater likelihood of becoming obese.

·        A 32% higher chance of lower HDL levels.

·        A 44% increased risk of metabolic syndrome.

Health effects of tobacco

The health effects of tobacco are the circumstances, mechanisms, and factors of tobacco consumption on human health. Epidemiological research has been focused primarily on cigarette tobacco smoking,^[1] which has been studied more extensively than any other form of consumption.^[2]

Tobacco is the single greatest cause of preventable death in the United States^[3] and worldwide.^[4] Tobacco use leads most commonly to diseases affecting the heart and lungs, with smoking being a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (including emphysema and chronic bronchitis), and cancer (particularly lung cancer, cancers of the larynx and mouth, and pancreatic cancer). It also causes peripheral vascular disease and hypertension. The effects depend on the number of years that a person smokes and on how much the person smokes. Starting smoking earlier in life and smoking cigarettes higher in tarincreases the risk of these diseases. Cigarettes sold in underdeveloped countries tend to have higher tar content, and are less likely to be filtered, potentially increasing vulnerability to tobacco-related disease in these regions.^[5]

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that tobacco caused 5.4 million deaths in 2004^[6] and 100 million deaths over the course of the 20th century.^[7] Similarly, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes tobacco use as "the single most important preventable risk to human health in developed countries and an important cause of premature death worldwide."^[8]

Smoke contains several carcinogenic pyrolytic products that bind to DNA and cause many genetic mutations. There are over 19 known chemical carcinogens in cigarette smoke^{[citation needed]}. Tobacco also contains nicotine, which is a highly addictive psychoactive chemical. When tobacco is smoked, nicotine causes physical and psychological dependency. Tobacco use is a significant factor in miscarriages among pregnant smokers, it contributes to a number of other threats to the health of the fetus such as premature births and low birth weight and increases by 1.4 to 3 times the chance for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).^[9] The result of scientific studies done in neonatal rats seems to indicate that exposure to cigarette smoke in the womb may reduce the fetal brain's ability to recognize hypoxic conditions, thus increasing the chance of accidental asphyxiation.^[10]Incidence of impotence is approximately 85 percent higher in male smokers compared to non-smokers,^[11] and is a key factor causing erectile dysfunction (ED).^[11][12][13]
