It’s stunning but it’s true. The American Heart Association reports that 73 million, that is one third of adult Americans suffer from hypertension. Two million children and teenagers are also affected by high blood pressure. High blood pressure is said to have occurred when blood flows through arteries with higher than normal force. Genetic inheritance, high salt consumption or thickenings of arterial walls are the major reasons behind this.

Due to high blood pressure, the risk of heart attack, stroke, and aneurysm are more for the people who have it than those who are not affected high blood pressure. Now modern medical science has found that high blood pressure is also responsible for Alzheimer’s disease; it reduced the flow of sufficient blood in the brain. That may lead to this dreaded disease as our brain needs to have ample supply of oxygen all the time.

If like myself you suffer from migraines then you will know that it is a crippling condition, not just another headache as some people think, and when a migraine strikes, “life stops”, as you deal with the throbbing pain, sensitivity to light, smell, sound and debilitating nausea or worse. What makes things worse is that many of the recommended prescription remedies for migraine headaches, just don’t work. So lets take a look at what’s available as a treatment for migraines:

Doctors often prescribe a range of over the counter and prescription drugs for migraine. From prescription drugs like Imitrex to over the counter drugs like Advil but as I mentioned before these don’t work for everyone, and many have troubling side effects that can interact with other medications. This is the main reason by I searched for a natural remedy to overcome my migraines.

The menisci (often called cartilages) and the main joint surfaces of the knee can be made more vulnerable to injury and damage if knee control is not good enough to prevent unplanned joint movements. Meniscal function is partly to control movement of the femoral condyles into particular paths, centring them on the upper shin bone plateau. Without the guiding help the large and strong condyles can catch the edges of the menisci as they roll across the tibial plateau and so cause tears or other damage to the menisci.

One of the most important organs in your body is the gallbladder. The gallbladder aids in digestion and also stores bile.

For people that tend to eat a lot of fatty and oily food, the oil and fat deposits are stored up in the liver and gallbladder. Once the accumulation gathers up over a period of time, the fats and oils form into gallstones.

If the process of gallbladder stones continues accumulating, you could face health problems down the road. At that point, many people resort to surgery to clear out the gallbladder stones.

Many forms of insomnia are in one way or another related to the improper function of your circadian rhythm. Most people associate the circadian rhythm with a time of day, but in reality the circadian rhythm has more to do with light and darkness. Every person has an internal clock that lets us know when it’s time to go to bed and wake up in the morning.

This internal clock within our body controls what is known as the circadian rhythm. These rhythms are associated with the regulation of many hormones that are released within our body throughout the day. For example, our body’s temperature and overall alertness are key factors directly affected by our circadian rhythm.

Have your ever experienced a time when you’re going through various aches in your body and at the same time, feeling a certain imbalance in your life? And you know that the aches you feel are more than just physical. If so, then maybe you should try to dig deeper in your senses and experience the healing powers of Reiki.

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique to relieve the body from stress and create a better flow of energy. Its purpose is to create less tension in the body and even promote healing. This technique aims to treat the whole body of the person; this includes one’s emotion, mind and spirit. A creation of wholeness carries along many benefits because there is a feeling of peace inside and less body aches outside. Reiki has a way of thinking that if an individual’s “life force energy” is high, then we are more capable of being normal and healthy and also develop a feeling of happiness rather than having a low “life force energy” that explains our stress and body pain.

Spastic colon is unpleasant. Actually, spastic colon is often used as another name for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. No matter the term, this condition causes cramps, bloating, fatigue, nausea and other related symptoms.

Spastic colon specifically refers to the muscles in the small and large intestines and how they can contract uncontrollably, leading to cramps and diarrhea or constipation. Imagine your hand opening and closing quickly and without your control, and you have an idea of how spastic colon works. The condition keeps the intestine and the bowels from properly working, leaving the sufferer feeling bloated, weak and otherwise miserable.

Femoral neck fractures are a common feature of particular populations of people with specific problems. Fractures of the neck of the femur are common in post-menopausal women and are secondary to a decrease in bone density. They are less common as stress fractures in people who put significantly increased forces on their hips such as runners and military personnel who are much younger and fitter. These fractures can also occur at almost any age by a direct fall on the hip with great force or if there are pathological changes in the bone such as tumours.

It’s the Spring and the time we all think about what we should be doing to help ourselves become fitter and more beautiful, which we have not been doing that consistently during the last year. Gym memberships rise early in the year but many allow them to lapse as they find the motivation difficult to maintain. However, what does fitness mean? Many of us are not at all clear what it actually means to be fit and what all the fitness measurements mean, an ignorance which bodes ill for our likelihood of continuing with what we plan. Even health professionals such as me are guilty of not having a clear grasp of the numbers.
