Polio is increasing with 85 possible cases

Polio is increasing with 85 possible cases<br />
The number of formal cases can take several days or weeks, while doctors will check again for symptoms against CDC guidelines.<br />
An unofficial study by NBC News showed that the incidence of paralysis in most children has been on the rise throughout the country.<br />
<br />
The condition, which is called a softened myeloma or AFM, appears to have been caused by a viral infection, but health officials have been unable to link the cases to any specific virus. Causes symptoms ranging from muscle weakness to total paralysis.<br />
<br />
Health officials in 26 states told NBC News that they were investigating or reporting 85 cases of FMM.<br />
<br />
It happens suddenly and can cause a variety of symptoms, including vertigo, inability to walk, trouble swallowing or difficulty moving the arm. There is no specific treatment but if children show symptoms, they need quick care - especially if they have trouble breathing, they may need a respirator.<br />
<br />
At the end of September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed 38 cases in 16 states. The Centers for Disease Control did not state, but health officials in Colorado said they had 14 cases in 2018 and Minnesota officials confirmed six cases.<br />
<br />
State health officials in 24 other states told NBC News that they had suspected or confirmed cases, some of which were reported after the end of September. An informal number of interviews based on interviews with these officials shows 33 suspected cases and 52 cases of acute myelitis, for a total of 85 suspected and confirmed cases.<br />
<br />
"There are currently two possible cases reported in 2018 under investigation," Brittany Fowler, a spokeswoman for the Maryland Department of Health, told NBC News.<br />
<br />
"A suspected case has been reported in an adult male," said Lynn Sotvin of the Michigan Public Health Service.<br />
<br />
A spokesman for the Center for Disease Control said the agency had not planned to issue updated figures this week.<br />
<br />
It takes time to confirm AFM status. Viruses can cause a range of neurological symptoms and AFM is one of the rare cases that can follow a viral infection. To confirm AFM confirmation, doctors must determine whether the spinal cord is affected.<br />
<br />
The CDC contains a list of tests to be run to confirm the situation.<br />
<br />
"All suspected cases are sent to the CDC for review by neurologists," said Lara Anton of the Texas Department of Health Services. Texas confirmed eight cases of AFM this year.<br />
<br />
"It takes about a month to review the situation and decide on AFM."<br />
<br />
There are few cases of this process at the moment and are not reflected in the number of official cases. All Texas cases except one are children. "<br />
<br />
Alabama is also investigating two possible cases. "We have not yet completed our investigations to make sure they are AFM, so we have not reached the Centers for Disease Control," said Sherry Davidson, an epidemiologist in Alabama. "It may take a month or two because there are a lot of documents to review and a committee of experts that needs to be reviewed."<br />

Six children in Minnesota have been diagnosed with a rare "polio-like" disease since mid-September, state health officials said.<br />
<br />
Acute flaccid myelitis, known as AFM, affects the body's nervous system -- specifically, the spinal cord -- and can cause paralysis. Unlike polio, there is no vaccine for AFM.<br />

What is the polio-like illness paralyzing US children?<br />
Minnesota typically sees less than one case a year, the state Department of <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Health</a> reported. The disease typically affects children; all the recent cases in Minnesota were in children younger than 10.<br />
AFM can develop from a viral infection, although its exact cause is unknown. Symptoms include limb weakness, facial drooping and trouble swallowing or talking. Doctors stress the importance of recognizing the early signs of AFM and seeking care as soon as possible.<br />

AFM cases first spiked in the United States in August 2014. By the end of that year, 120 people had been diagnosed in 34 states.<br />
The increase coincided with a national outbreak of severe respiratory illness caused by enterovirus D68. From August 2014 through August 2018, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention received information on 362 cases of<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> AFM</a> across the United States.<br />
The CDC says it's important to practice disease prevention steps: staying up to date on vaccines, washing hands and preventing mosquito bites.<br />

Medical Cannabis To Become Available On UK Prescription Within A Month

<br />
Within the next month medicinal cannabis will be available on prescription in the UK, with experts predicting that around 10,000 multiple sclerosis sufferers are set to benefit.<br />
<br />
Currently cannabis-derived medicines are only prescribed in exceptional circumstances - when the go-ahead is granted by a medical panel - but the Home Office is set to relax the rules.<br />

<br />
According to the Metro, Home Secretary Sajid Javid has sanctioned the 'rescheduling' of the currently illegal treatment and an announcement is expected within two weeks, paving the way for it to be prescribed almost immediately.<br />
<br />
It is believed that cannabis-derived medication could be given instead of a patient needing to try other treatments beforehand.<br />
<br />
This means that people suffering with chronic pain, epilepsy, nausea as a result of chemotherapy and MS will be among those who will be prescribed the drug first.<br />
<br />
Genevieve Edwards, from the MS Society, told the Sunday Telegraph: "This is very encouraging progress for thousands of people with MS who have been forced to choose between living with relentless pain and muscle spasm or breaking the law."<br />
<br />
The campaign to legalise cannabis for medical purposes has gone on for some time but the turning point was when the Home Office granted Charlotte Caldwell's 12-year-old son, Billy, a special dispensation and 'urgent' licence for the of use medicinal cannabis oil.<br />
<br />
Billy was the first in the UK to receive a consignment of the drug on the NHS to help him with his intractable epilepsy, which leaves him with suffering with up to 100 seizures a day. Charlotte says the medicinal cannabis virtually cured Billy's symptoms and improved his quality of life.<br />
<br />
But according to Charlotte, authorities told their family doctor to stop handing out the life-saving treatment - after which she flew to Canada, where the drug is legal, to stock up on the medicine before Billy's ran out.<br />
<br />
After the confiscation in the UK, Sajid Javid used 'an exceptional power' as Home Secretary to get a licence issued for the family, according to Sky News.<br />
<br />
Speaking outside hospital at the time, Charlotte said: "There can only be one conclusion here: that my beautiful sweet little boy, who has a life-threatening form of epilepsy and one seizure can kill him, he needs his medicine back."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ03tEB_v0-qCPu19TxHrYkio5xHDtS21IYIuNoGOMaOWHQeB1CG3HjeeVynmKGhrlGKTurdZJuZkk51hFtSulKlL_sH_IOcs3JdqQU9SWdmJs2fJ2b_rg-0MOk2OJ5_e4ItJacNREHHM/s1600/e5a9fb475bb9920a63fe9e765ab1baa1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="386" data-original-width="512" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ03tEB_v0-qCPu19TxHrYkio5xHDtS21IYIuNoGOMaOWHQeB1CG3HjeeVynmKGhrlGKTurdZJuZkk51hFtSulKlL_sH_IOcs3JdqQU9SWdmJs2fJ2b_rg-0MOk2OJ5_e4ItJacNREHHM/s400/e5a9fb475bb9920a63fe9e765ab1baa1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And now a Government spokesperson has told the Metro: "We completely sympathise with the families who have been facing desperate situations as they try to find treatment.<br />
<br />
"In July the Home Secretary committed to swift action on behalf of those whose medical conditions could potentially be eased by cannabis-based products and we have announced that cannabis-based products for medicinal use will be available for specialist doctors to prescribe legally from the Autumn.<br />
<br />
"In the interim the expert panel will consider applications for these products. Any proposed course of treatment with cannabis-based medicine must be clinically led."<br />

Doctors at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital successfully removed the uterine fibroid, also called a leiomyoma, by after a hysterectomy. They also were required to extract the 53-year-old patient’s ovaries.<br />
<br />
The tumor, as outlined by Live Science, qualified as “giant” in <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">medical</a> terms because it was larger than 25 lbs. The OB-GYN who treated over, Dr. Poh Ting Lim, told the outlet how the mass was 26 inches across at its widest point.<br />

Because of the size in the tumor, plastic surgeons also was required to reconstruct over’s abdominal wall, which had stretched and thinned to allow for the development. The woman also had trouble breathing for few months and was generally not able to move when she attained a healthcare facility, said Dr. Lim, who also authored the report.<br />
<br />
According to Washington Post, uterine fibroids, a kind of pelvic tumor, are most frequent in women during their child-bearing years. While they’re not cancerous, they could become life-threatening should they grow with a size where they might impede or deform other organs, like the lungs, on this woman’s case. This usually only happens whenever they’re left unattended.<br />
<br />
<br />
Because uterine fibroids grow slowly — at a rate of around 9 percent every six months for ladies within their reproductive years — after which have a tendency to shrink during menopause, Dr. Lim posited the tumor what food was in the sufferer’s body for about 5 years. The largest record of a fibroid in a very living patient was 100 lbs. inside late 1800s, the report said.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">Mayo Clinic</a>, it’s unclear just what causes uterine fibroids, but genetic and hormonal shifts, specifically in estrogen and progesterone, manage to play an important role. They’re also more common in ladies whose mother or sisters have experienced one. Many women have uterine fibroids at some point during their life but don’t understand it since the majority of don’t experience symptoms. For those who do, heavy menstrual bleeding, long stretches, pelvic pain, frequent urination, constipation and back and leg pain are most typical.<br />

Use honey first for a cough, new guidelines say

Honey and over-the-counter medicines should be the first line of treatment for most people with coughs, new guidelines recommend.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="660" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjABm4D-lM3K3SIlrV4_mhya-_GQk1aY9SWXO7wgsyPQbBrHw81wE05TYP06eMExvdVV-b-NQ0WFq2yCWKcgO6uP0QKhfRdjdMuBdgxcgp0UFBs-YJCJF-uvMuGLTdv6feahMidYxL8mAY/s640/Use+honey+first+for+a+cough%252C+new+guidelines+say1.jpg" width="640" /><a href="http://use%20honey%20first%20for%20a%20cough%2C%20new%20guidelines%20say/">Use honey first for a cough, new guidelines say</a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Antibiotics should rarely be prescribed by <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">doctors</a> for coughs because in most cases they do little to improve symptoms, health officials say.<br />
<br />
Most of the time a cough will improve on its own within two to three weeks.<br />
<br />
The new recommendations for doctors are intended to help tackle the problem of <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">antibiotic </a>resistance.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" data-original-height="351" data-original-width="624" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5GM69dy8Bwc0nd9Vm2oxFEEBbFFxOuD7plEqgZcFW02wLAylXiOcFEGTmZIvXSNf_cvO4DZinoAyOL_bc0e-F-wJiF7XuqamqaZeerbQFETGaNRhTSyc60mnWuLUxeCOLzBnGKH0Ymw0/s640/Use+honey+first+for+a+cough%252C+new+guidelines+say2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Overusing antibiotics is making infections harder to treat, by creating drug-resistant superbugs.<br />
<br />
'Huge problem'<br />
A hot drink with honey - and often with lemon and ginger as well - is a well-known home remedy for coughs and a sore throat.<br />
<br />
Now new proposed guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Public Health England (PHE) say there is some limited evidence that it can help improve cough symptoms.<br />
<br />
Cough medicines containing pelargonium, guaifenesin or dextromethorphan might also be beneficial, they say.<br />
<br />
Patients are being advised to use these treatments and wait for symptoms to improve on their own, before going to a GP.<br />
<br />
Image copyrightGETTY IMAGES<br />
Most coughs are caused by viruses, which cannot be treated by antibiotics and will clear up on their own.<br />
<br />
Yet despite this, research has previously found that 48% of UK GP practices have prescribed antibiotics for a cough or bronchitis.<br />
<br />
Dr Susan Hopkins, a deputy director at <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">PHE</a>, said: "Antibiotic resistance is a huge problem, and we need to take action now to reduce antibiotic use...<br />
<br />
"These new guidelines will support GPs to reduce antibiotic prescriptions and we encourage patients to take their GP's advice about self-care."<br />
<br />
Check symptoms<br />
However, the guidelines recommend that antibiotics may be necessary for a cough when it is part of a more serious underlying illness, or when a person is at risk of further complications, such as those with chronic health conditions or weakened immune systems.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">Honey</a> is not recommended for children under the age of one because it occasionally contains bacteria that can cause infant botulism.<br />
<br />
Dr Tessa Lewis, GP and chair of the antimicrobial prescribing guideline group, said: "People can check their symptoms on NHS Choices or NHS Direct Wales or ask their pharmacist for advice.<br />
<br />
"If the cough is getting worse rather than better, or the person feels very unwell or breathless, then they would need to contact their GP."<br />
<br />
End sore throat antibiotic use, GPs told<br />
Patients 'need rest, not antibiotics'<br />
What to do if you have a cold or flu<br />
Analysis: Antibiotic apocalypse<br />
The draft recommendations are part of a raft of new antibiotic prescribing guidelines being developed jointly by PHE and NICE.<br />
<br />
England's chief <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">medical</a> officer, Prof Dame Sally Davies, has previously warned of a "post-antibiotic apocalypse".<br />
<br />
If the drugs fail, infections will become harder to treat and common medical procedures such as cancer treatments and transplants would be too risky, she said.<br />
<br />
The consultation on the new guidelines closes on 20 September.<br />

<br />
<br />
Currently, some scientists, docs and activists round the arena have labored to maintain glyphosate out of crops because of issues that it's far a dangerous carcinogen.<br />
<br />
"we are very concerned that consumers are ingesting more <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">glyphosate</a> than they recognise," stated scott faber, vice chairman of presidency affairs at ewg. He has been working to improve meals safety standards for greater than a decade. He said he and his team at ewg had a lab test involving "45 samples of merchandise made with conventionally grown oats" and located glyphosate – the lively ingredient in the monsanto weed-killer roundup – in all but .<br />
<br />
"i used to be greatly <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">surprised</a>," stated dr. Jennifer lowry, who heads the council on environmental health for the american academy of pediatrics and is a toxicologist at kid's mercy kansas metropolis.<br />
<br />
"we do not know plenty approximately the effects of glyphosate on youngsters," lowry stated. "and basically we're just throwing it at them."<br />
<br />
Ewg used its own, more stringent standards to finish that products with immoderate levels of the herbicide protected quaker old school oats, cheerios, quaker dinosaur egg immediately oats, exceptional price instant oats, and again to nature conventional granola. Glyphosate changed into even found in a few organic products, though most had non-detectable tiers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The sector health enterprise says glyphosate is a "probable carcinogen," and california lists it as a chemical "acknowledged to the kingdom to cause most cancers."<br />
<br />
Monsanto disputes that, pronouncing in a assertion, "glyphosate does now not cause most cancers" and "has a extra than 40-yr records of secure use."<br />
<br />
Of ewg's observe, monsanto says "even at the very best degree suggested… an adult might have to consume 118 kilos of the food item every day for the relaxation in their life with a purpose to attain the epa's limit" for glyphosate residues.<br />
<br />
But just closing week, a jury in california ordered monsanto to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dewayne-johnson-monsanto-roundup-weed-killer-jury-award-today-2018-08-10/" target="_blank">pay one guy $289 million in damages after he claimed</a> the enterprise's weed killers precipitated his most cancers. Ewg's faber is skeptical of epa's glyphosate limits.<br />
<br />
"we do not assume it does enough mainly to protect youngsters," faber stated.<br />
<br />
"it is time now for them to step up and do their jobs to ban glyphosate," stated zen honeycutt, who heads mothers throughout the us, a collection shaped to raise attention approximately toxic exposures. Her circle of relatives switched to an organic-most effective weight loss program after her three sons advanced allergic reactions and different health problems.<br />
<br />
"we want to agree with that what's inside the grocery keep is safe and the stunning reality is that during many instances it's now not," honeycutt said.<br />
<br />
In a declaration quaker stated: "we <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">proudly</a> stand by the protection and nice of our quaker merchandise. Any levels of glyphosate that may remain are appreciably beneath any limits of the protection standards set with the aid of the epa and the european commission as secure for human intake."<br />
<br />
Preferred mills informed cbs news: "our products are secure and without question they meet regulatory <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">safety levels</a>. The epa has researched this issue and has set regulations that we comply with."<br />

As she entered the third trimester of her pregnancy, Sania is physically keeping herself active with walking, playing and yoga. Sania is currently in her hometown, Hyderabad and is enjoying chilling out on the last days of her pregnancy. India’s gutsiest sports star shared a picture of herself sitting and relaxing on her chair and looking out of the window. She captioned it, #moments with a heart and pregnancy woman emoji. Here’s the picture that she shared:<br />

<br />
<br />
In April 2018, Sania and her husband, Shoaib Malik announced the <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">pregnancy</a> on their social media handles and shared the last name of their child. After 8 years of marital bliss, Sania and Shoaib are now gearing up to welcome their first child, Baby Mirza Malik. Speaking about the same at the Goa Fest 2018, Sania expressed that her child would not only take his/her father’s family name (i.e. Malik) forward but will have ‘Mirza Malik’ as the surname. Sania stated, “Today I will tell you a secret. My husband and I have spoken about it and we have decided that whenever we have a child, the child will have Mirza Malik as a surname and not just Malik. So that’s where we stand as a family including my husband. He actually wants a daughter.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In an interview with the Mumbai Mirror, Sania Mirza shared her mommy diary and talked about her workout, diet, and some <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">pregnancy tips</a>. The 31-year-old tennis icon believes, “While every woman’s body reacts differently to pregnancy, it’s unfair to think that you are handicapped for nine months. I’d recommend using this time to prepare your body for the changes that are going to happen in the following months. Begin by staying active and live a normal life; that’s what I did.” Sharing the best part about her pregnancy, she remarked, “Now, I’m just giving my body the rest it needs and waking up whenever I feel like — usually between 9 am and 10 am — so that I feel refreshed. Since sleep at night is hard to come by, especially in the third trimester, there is no point in stressing yourself out in the morning.” (Also Read: Seven Months Pregnant Sania Mirza Playing Tennis With Sister Anam Mirza Is Inspiring In Every Sense)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
About practising yoga, Sania shared, “Yoga isn’t just for the body but for the mind as well — it keeps you physically and mentally fit which is crucial at this stage. The asanas you practice, especially in your second and third trimester, teach you to breathe correctly during labour.” She further added, “Before becoming pregnant, I used to push my body to perform even when I experienced pain but I don’t any more. It took a while to train my mind that I won’t be able to do even five per cent of what I could before and that it’s okay. With pregnancy, priorities change and you have to adapt to the fact that your body is altering while creating something within and that it requires energy. In my case, I had to relax and refrain from routine activities — everybody’s ‘routine’ is different — which were hyper.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sania Mirza has a support team which includes a massage expert for prenatal massages (two to three times a week), a dietician who guides her at every step and a yoga instructor whom she follows diligently. Reminiscing about the time when she gained more weight during her pregnancy than she should have, she managed to get back on track with her team’s instructions. She shared, “For a smooth pregnancy, you need <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">prenatal experts</a> who know what’s right or wrong for you at each stage.” (Also Read: Soon-To-Be Mom Sania Mirza Shares Her Pregnancy Craving And She Loves Eating It Like Never Before)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She went on to say, “My dietician says this is the time that the body craves for things it lacks. So when it asks for something too often, maybe you should oblige. I’ve been off processed sugar for the last 3-4 years so thankfully, I don’t miss sugar as much. But when I long for it, I have it in small quantities.” Sania shared her pregnancy diet and said, “I included a lot of greens in my diet — something I wasn’t having enough of. My mother ate an apple a day for both her pregnancies and I do that too.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Talking about her pregnancy cravings, Sania snacks on energy bars made from jaggery and dry fruits, and she also manages to drink one glass of milk daily. She stated, “<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">Calcium</a> is a big must in the third trimester. What you eat reaches the child, so eat what you feel like but make sure it is healthy. I also have a lot of yoghurt because it is great for acidity and because I don’t like milk. Plain yoghurt is non-fattening, has no sugar and full of calcium. Regardless of whether you are pregnant or not, my dietician recommends flaxseed for everyone and I get my fix through roasted flaxseed crackers with an Indian spice tadka.” (Also Read: Sania Mirza's Sister Anam Mirza Is Super-Excited To Be 'Maasi', Shares Picture With Soon-To-Be-Mom)<br />

Vitamin C skin care – The challenge

Vitamin C is often regarded as a wrinkle fighter or an anti-aging agent. The main objective of ‘<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">Vitamin C skin care</a>’, in scientific terms, is to increase the synthesis of collagen (a structural protein that is found in skin).  The additional benefit of ‘Vitamin C skin care’ is related to its capability of countering free radicals which cause damage to the skin.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Vitamin C</a> skin care, however, faces a major challenge today. This is related to the oxidation tendency of Vitamin C skin care products. On coming in contact with any oxidising agent (e.g. air), the Vitamin C in the Vitamin C skin care products,  gets oxidised; thus making the Vitamin C skin care product useless (in fact counter-effective). The oxidised Vitamin C imparts a yellowish-brown colour to the Vitamin C skin care product. This is something that you need to check before buying a Vitamin C skin care product. Even after you buy a Vitamin C skin care product, you need to store it properly and keep checking that it’s still good to use (i.e. it hasn’t attained a yellowish-brown texture).<br>

Fast Weight Loss Tips

Are you interested in losing weight?   If you are, are you in a hurry to do so? While it is advised that you do not rely heavily on fast weight loss, also commonly referred to as rapid weight loss, there are many individuals who do.  If you are interested in <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">losing weight</a>, as quickly as possible, you will want to continue reading on.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
One of the many ways that you can go about achieving a fat weight loss or rapid weight loss is by reducing the foods that you eat. When reducing your food consumption, it is important that you only reduce your consumption a little bit.  <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">Unfortunately</a>, many individuals who want to achieve fast weight loss think that they need to stop eating altogether, even if it is for two or three days.  That is something that you do not want to do.  Once you resume eating again, you will likely gain all of your weight back, almost automatically.  It is also important to mention that starving yourself is dangerous to your health.<br />
<br />
In conjunction with reducing your food intake, it is advised that you reduce the amount of sweets or junk food that you eat. For fast weight loss, you will want to <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">completely eliminate</a> junk food from your diet, even if it is only for a short period of time. This means that if you want a snack, you should grab an apple or an orange instead of a chocolate bar or a bag of chips. With candy and other sweets being high in calories, you may see a significant decrease in your calorie consumption by eliminating them from your diet.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">Exercise</a> is another way that you can go about achieving fast weight loss. The thing about using exercise to achieve fast weight loss is that it is a little bit tricky. With exercise, you may not notice a significant weight loss right away.  For instance, it typically takes most individuals at least a week or two to notice an improvement in their <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">appearance</a> with the use of exercise. With that in mind, the more overweight you are, the sooner you may see a decrease in your weight, often quickly.<br />
<br />
In keeping with exercise to lose weight, exercise is important to losing weight, as it helps to limit your calorie intake.  When you burn off calories, with the use of exercise, your body absorbs less calories. This is what makes it possible for you to lose weight.  Although your first though may be to start exercising as much as possible, right away, you may want to refrain from doing so.  If you aren’t usually <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">physically active</a>, it is best to start out slow.  This should significantly reduce your risk of injuries.<br />
<br />
Another one of the many ways that you may be able to achieve fasts weight loss or rapid weight loss is with the use of a cleanse.  These cleanses are commonly referred to as colon cleanses or <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">weight loss cleanses</a>.  Cleanses work by removing toxins and extra weight, actually waste, from your body.  It has been said that most individuals have at least seven or eight pounds of waste stored in their bodies.  A weight loss cleanse or a colon cleanse should help remove those toxins from your body.<br />
<br />
Should you decide to try a colon cleanse or a weight loss cleanse, to help you achieve a fast weight loss, it is important that you read all directions given to you. Some cleanses have a strict diet that you must follow. For the fastest weight loss, you may want to examine liquid cleanses, instead of those in pill formats, as they often produce the quickest results.<br />
<br />
The above mentioned fast weight loss tips may help you achieve fast weight loss, even if it is only a small weight loss. As a reminder, it is important to proceed with caution. While it is more that possible for you to achieve your fast weight loss goal, it can also be dangerous to you and your health.<br />

Healthcare for Long-term Patients: Is this Insurance Right for You?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Healthcare for Long-term Patients: Is this Insurance Right for You?<br />
<br />
Long-term care insurance is not right for everyone. For a small percentage of the population this coverage is an affordable and worthwhile type of <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">insurance</a>. Determining whether or not long-term care insurance is right for you won't be the only task at hand; looking for scams will also be a concern.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz1FTCjXBGxVpbbTTmUlyGH394UJZPoKB12gTgyiP08zodtp4hSxss16s8IDwR2yGiGDOQ6jJ8vxtCXNA8qjUPARSJ6hXoM_pFdVewN0hyhwXQLRW3INJLa9F_qqfh6spXUoc5DFUn-cM/s1600/Healthcare+for+Long-term+Patients+Is+this+Insurance+Right+for+You.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="700" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz1FTCjXBGxVpbbTTmUlyGH394UJZPoKB12gTgyiP08zodtp4hSxss16s8IDwR2yGiGDOQ6jJ8vxtCXNA8qjUPARSJ6hXoM_pFdVewN0hyhwXQLRW3INJLa9F_qqfh6spXUoc5DFUn-cM/s640/Healthcare+for+Long-term+Patients+Is+this+Insurance+Right+for+You.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>

<br />
<br />
As you get older, the need for assistance in your everyday <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">life increases</a>. Whether it is in-home care or residing in a nursing home for a few months you will most likely need some way to pay for these types of services. In order to maintain long-term care insurance you must pay for them each and every year until death. Many policies are canceled by policyholders that are on fixed incomes and are simply unable to pay for the increasing premiums as they get older. If the only funds you are receiving were those from Social Security or SSI, then it would be wise to not purchase a policy. Also, if you find that every day purchases and paying for utilities makes you stretch your budget to the limit, you probably should stay clear of this policy. This type of policy is only right for someone who has significant assets they want to preserve for their family, remain independent, or just to spare their family the expense of a nursing home bill.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">Comparing policies</a> can prove to be difficult because every company is selling a different combination of benefits and coverage. Many companies offer to pay a fixed amount for each day you receive care, while others will cover a percentage of the overall cost of care or supply a specified amount. Beware of these types of policies unless they offer inflation protection. You see, if they do not account for the increasing cost of nursing home costs, then you are stuck with a policy that really does you no good.<br />
<br />
Just like a standard <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">healthcare</a> plan, you will have to receive services at designated locations. If you go outside of this network they will simply refuse to pay for any care that you receive. If you have any type of mental disease or nervous disorder then don't expect many carriers to accept you (the one exception is Alzheimer's). There are more restrictions in this type of insurance than any other health insurance.<br />
<br />
If this type of <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">policy is right for you</a>, please make sure that the company is reputable. There are many individuals who thrive on the fact that not many people will make an informed decision when it comes to purchasing long-term health insurance. Be sure to read the fine print and find out everything you can about the policy before committing to a company and a long-term health insurance plan.<br />

Sports Fitness Fun Way to be Healthy

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
When you talk about sports <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitness" target="_blank">fitness</a>, what comes first in your mind? It is, basically, the different sports activities, right? This is because sports fitness has always been referred to as the sports itself.<br />
<br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5WjS7mQkqfqXE1opWGtSIF1SdWcJOdkynnA8ZQ32Sk5q6L0G6BrhFVG6hmFkumA3HOpiwv6G9XGRLKMHwyBN5AoNq4RyY3YlXPHparKQ7RqwKy8Ebi_NEHphYoNkbTdXPGzUPWT-1Bg/s1600/Fitness.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5WjS7mQkqfqXE1opWGtSIF1SdWcJOdkynnA8ZQ32Sk5q6L0G6BrhFVG6hmFkumA3HOpiwv6G9XGRLKMHwyBN5AoNq4RyY3YlXPHparKQ7RqwKy8Ebi_NEHphYoNkbTdXPGzUPWT-1Bg/s640/Fitness.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>

<br />
<br />
Generally, sports entail <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">physical activities</a> that are usually carried out for some “recreational” functions such as self-satisfaction, entertainment, competition, etc. It uses physical activity that is why most fitness experts regard sports as one way of staying fit and healthy. It can also be considered as one way of physical fitness; the only difference is that <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">sports fitness</a> is more inclined to the development of skill or ability.However, like physical fitness, sports fitness is also capable of toning down the body fats of a person. Because of its rigid and strict health program, a sports enthusiast is able to maintain a well-balanced lifestyle in order to cope up with the strenuous demands of sports.<br />
<br />
In sports, people should learn how to value their <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">health</a>. Otherwise, they can never endure the kind of energy that is required when playing sports activities.<br />
Therefore, for people whoa re into sports fitness, here are some tips that you could use in order to stay healthy and be active on whatever sports you want to pursue:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Drinks lots of water<br />
<br />
Humans can survive days, or even months without food, but they can never last a day without water.<br />
<br />
Water is, indeed, the most <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">important element</a> needed by the body. Excessive perspiration, without any means of replenishing the lost fluids will result to serious health problems, and even death.<br />
<br />
Therefore, for people who are into strenuous exercises and trainings, it is best to always drink lots of water.<br />
<br />
However, for sports enthusiasts, water may not be enough to replace the kind of fluid lost. Hence, it would be better if they would have sports drinks instead. Aside from the fluid, sports drinks have tow additional important ingredients needed by a person who is into sports fitness: carbohydrates and electrolytes.<br />
<br />
Electrolytes are usually lost during strenuous physical activity, and this can only be replaced through sports drinks. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are also needed by the body during rigid workouts to provide more energy so that the body can cope up to the demands of the activity.<br />
<br />
2. More veggies!<br />
<br />
People who are into sports fitness require more intakes of vegetables and fruits. This is because the body is craving for more vitamins and mineral supplements. It makes the body stronger and healthier enabling it to cope up with demands of the activity.<br />
<br />
3. Calcium intake<br />
<br />
People who are into sports fitness should have calcium present on their diet. This is to provide stronger bones to the body.<br />
<br />
Since the body is more exposed to greater <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">physical activities</a>, it is important to have stronger bones in order to avoid fractures or certain bone diseases like “osteoporosis.”<br />
<br />
Calcium can be found in different vitamin and mineral supplements. They are also abundant in foods like sardines, tofu, dairy products, etc.<br />
<br />
4. Warm exercises are always important before any kind of strenuous activities.<br />
<br />
This kind of activity is needed in order not to strain the body. Hence, before playing the sports that you have always love, it is best to do some warm-up exercises first.<br />
<br />
Indeed, engaging into sports activities is one great way of being physically fit. The best thing about it is that in sports, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds.<br />

Health experts urge people to get flu shot after deadly sepsis virus outbreak kills 13-year-old boy

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Doctors are urging people to get flu shots in order to avoid a killer virus - and vaccine supplies are running low as the peak of the season hits.<br />

<br />
Health authorities are warning people about the potential effects of catching the flu and urging them to get <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunization" target="_blank">immunised</a>.<br />
For those that do contract the flu and go on to develop sepsis, the consequences can be deadly.<br />
A shortage in the flu vaccine has been caused by unprecedented demand, and supplies were being reserved for those most at risk of becoming seriously ill.<br />
A 13-year-old boy who was healthy and active died after catching the flu.<br />
Thomas Snell's condition rapidly became worse after he caught a cold while on a rugby tour.<br />
He went to the doctor and was told to rest up and drink fluids - but he never became well again.<br />
Thomas's aunt, Yvette Clarke, told Nine News her nephew was battling to cope with the virus.<br />
'He was not settling. He couldn't sleep, he was really restless and in pain.<br />
'It was 24 to 48 hours that he was in that state - a deathly state.'<br />
Thomas was put on life support five hours later after contracting sepsis.<br />
<br />
His organs shut down as his body tried to fight the bacterial infection, and 18 days later he died.<br />
<br />
'There was nothing they could do to save him. If he had have survived he would have been a quad amputee.'<br />
<br />
About 18,000 people in Australia are <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">diagnosed</a> with sepsis each year and 5000 of those die as a result - more than car crash and breast and prostate cancer deaths combined.<br />
Damian Jones's 18-year-old daughter Madeline died from sepsis in 2017.<br />
<br />
He said she was put on life support after catching the flu before developing sepsis.<br />
<br />
'Just asking the question - could this be sepsis? I think is very important and people shouldn't be afraid to ask that question,' Mr Jones said.<br />
<br />
Dr Dilip Dhupelia, Queensland president of the Australian Medical Association, said the flu should not be underestimated.<br />
<br />
'<a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">Immediately</a>, if you haven't had your flu shot you should be going to get it now. Sepsis or pneumonia, they're some of the causes of death as a result of flu.'<br />
<br />
Thousands of Australians fear they could miss out on the flu vaccine as record numbers flock to try and protect themselves against the virus.<br />
An increase of 25 to 30 per cent of people trying to get their hands on the vaccine which has 'impacted the availability of supplies'.<br />
<br />
In a statement on the Department of Health website Australia’s Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Hobbs said: 'The Department of Health is working closely with states and territories to monitor availability of vaccines.<br />
<br />
'The Department of Health is also working closely with companies to ensure additional vaccines are brought into Australia.'<br />
<br />
The Australian Government made 5.1 million doses available through the National Immunisation Program (NIP) in 2018.<br />

<br />
<br />
WHAT IS SEPSIS?<br />
Sepsis, also known as blood poisoning, occurs when the body reacts to an infection by attacking its own organs and tissues.<br />
<br />
Worldwide, someone dies from the condition every 3.5 seconds.<br />
<br />
Sepsis has similar symptoms to flu, gastroenteritis and a chest infection.<br />
<br />
These include:<br />
<br />
Slurred speech or confusion<br />
Extreme shivering or muscle pain<br />
Passing no urine in a day<br />
Severe breathlessness<br />
It feels like you are dying<br />
Skin mottled or discoloured<br />
Symptoms in children are:<br />
<br />
Fast breathing<br />
Fits or convulsions<br />
Mottled, bluish or pale skin<br />
Rashes that do not fade when pressed<br />
Lethargy<br />
Feeling abnormally cold<br />
Under fives may be vomiting repeatedly, not feeding or not urinating for 12 hours.<br />
<br />
Anyone can develop sepsis but it is most common in people who have recently had <a href="https://healthfunyy.blogspot.com/">surgery</a>, have a urinary catheter or have stayed in hospital for a long time.<br />
<br />
Other at-risk people include those with weak immune systems, chemotherapy patients, pregnant women, the elderly and the very young.<br />
<br />
Treatment varies depending on the site of the infection but involves antibiotics, IV fluids and oxygen, if necessary.<br />
