You Need Guts To Be Happy No Matter What: The Importance Of A Healthy Digestive System For Enhanced Immunity

Nearly every brain-controlling chemical is generated in the gut, including hormones and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, GABA and nor epinephrine. The gut is home to 100 million neurons – more than what the spinal cord has. It also contains 24 minor brain proteins, major cells that regulate immune function, one of the body’s in-built opiates, and native bensodizipine. Recently there has been one more addition to the nervous system: The gut, also known as the enteric nervous system. It is ensconced inside sheaths of tissue found in the lining of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon.

We have 2,000 to 3,000 patients we see a year just sleep-related problems between three physicians. About 30 patients per month come through the sleep clinic, Bader said. Dentists can help, too But those with mild or moderate sleep apnea could turn to dentists for ways to address their snoring issues. Thats what Ann Barker, 38, of Sturtevant, did. A patient of dentist Keith Stummers for about eight years, Barker said dental staff brought up the issue of snoring when she went in for a regular cleaning several months ago. They handed her a survey to fill out. Basically, the survey revealed I have some excessive sleepiness, and tiredness, she said.

How Snoring Can Wreak Havoc On A Marriage

It was disturbing her sleep, but I didn’t realize that snoring was the cause of my own fatigue.” The reason for resentment is understandable. Snoring can cause daytime symptoms that can cause serious problems in one’s waking life, and unfortunately it is not just the snorer that suffers — the snorer’s spouse can suffer just as much. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 39 percent of American adults get less than seven hours of sleep each weeknight , and more than one in three (37 percent) are so sleepy during the day that it interferes with daily activities. The sleep loss associated with snoring — whether it’s the snorer or the bed partner who is awakened by the snoring, interrupts important recuperative sleep, which can impair a person’s ability to perform cognitive tasks involving memory, learning, reasoning and mathematical processes. It can impair motor skills and can cause morning headaches, irritability, burnout and depression, to mention just a few symptoms.

Chicago, IL Dentist Offers a Better Night’s Sleep Through an Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece

When a person exhales and the tongue blocks the airway, snoring results. Dental professionals like Dr. DiVerde, a Chicago sleep dentist, can fit patients for an anti-snoring mouthpiece. The mouthpiece helps to stabilize the tongue to prevent it from blocking the airway. Also, the added padding from the mouthguard helps to relax the jaw, which opens the throat and helps to reduce airway restriction.

Proven Weight Loss Supplements

WebMD Feature Reviewed By David Kiefer, MD Losing weight can dramatically improve your emotional and physical health, but it can be a slow process. So its no wonder that 15% of American adults use diet supplements to boost weight loss, opting for a range of products that claim to decrease appetite, block fat absorption, or increase metabolism. Currently, most weight loss experts do not recommend many products marketed as weight loss supplements because of a lack of evidence. Also certain diet supplements, including ephedra, may cause heart attack and stroke. (Ephedra, also known as ma huang, was banned by the FDA in 2004 for sale in the U.S.) However, there are some proven weight loss supplements available.

New Market Study Published: Vitamins and Dietary Supplements in Switzerland

Adequate intake of folic acid by pregnant women is critical to avoid nervous system defects in the developing fetus. The mineral calcium plays a critical role in building and maintaining strong bones; without it, children develop weak bones and adults experience the progressive loss of bone mass known as osteoporosis, which increases their risk of bone fractures. Vitamins and minerals are found in a wide variety of foods, but some foods are better sources of specific vitamins and minerals than others. For example, oranges contain large amounts of vitamin C and folic acid but very little of the other vitamins.

Vitamins & Minerals For Hair That’s Healthier, Stronger And Shinier

“Pineapple is also high in vitamin C, which helps in the formation of collagen, a protein that helps grow new skin and blood vessels.” Get Rid Of Dull Winter Skin: Flax Seeds “Flaxseeds offer vital omega-2 fatty acids that supply the right ratio of essential fatty acids to your body, ensuring peak functioning,” says Snyder. “Omega-3 fatty acids also help prevent inflammation, which can lead to dry damaged skin.” Prevent Breakouts And Acne “The liver filters toxins and pushes the waste to the colon,” says Snyder. “But when these organs become overloaded with waste and toxins (from food), the toxins have to be pushed out through the skin, another eliminative organ, creating those ugly pimples called acne.” Prevent Breakouts And Acne: Coconut Yogurt “Try beauty foods like coconut yogurt, which contains beneficial bacteria (probiotics), and can help keep your system clean,” says Snyder. “It is dairy-free, as dairy is difficult for many to digest and has been to shown to be a potential problematic trigger for acne. ” Prevent Breakouts And Acne: Apple Cider Vinegar Extra Credit: “Raw apple cider vinegar is a strong digestive aid, helping to cure constipation and stimulating stomach acid, which aids in digestion and can help flush out toxins,” says Snyder.

Rangers’ Marc Staal ready to return from frightening eye injury – with visor and new outlook

I spoke to Dr. Shreya Prabhu, an assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, to find out what parents need to know: What signs and symptoms should parents be aware of? There are two types of pediatric glaucoma infantile and juvenile. Infantile glaucoma, which becomes evident within months of birth, is associated with several visible symptoms that parents may be able to spot, according to Prabhu.

That’s because, as you age, the lens of your eye gradually starts to lose flexibility. (Farsightedness, or hyperopia, has a similar effect but is due to the shape of your eye and is usually something you’re born with.) Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do to prevent it. What It Feels Like Your vision is blurred at a normal distance. You may also notice eye strain and headaches when you’re doing close-up work, like sewing. How to Fix It Although presbyopia is a natural condition, you should still see your eye doctor when you notice it to make sure you don’t have a more serious condition, like glaucoma, says Bruce Rosenthal, MD, professor of ophthalmology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. If it is presbyopia, he’ll likely recommend reading glasses. Already wear glasses or contacts?

She added, “Eyes of about 25,000 children from 209 anganwadis in Paithan taluka were screened, of which 30 children were brought to the GMCH for further diagnosis.” Bhaskar Khaire, head of the opthalmology department at the GMCH, said: “Thirty children were brought to the GMCH for diagnosis last week.

Surgery on the other children will be performed next week.” “Ptosis is drooping of the upper eyelid. The lid may droop only slightly, or it may cover the pupil entirely.

Dry Eyes And Technology: What You Need To Know To Protect Your Vision

Christopher Starr, an associate professor of ophthalmology at Weill Cornell Medical College. He explained on “CBS This Morning,” “Normally, we blink about 20 times per minute. It can drop to eight or 10 times a minute. And when you’re not blinking, the tears that are on your ocular surface just evaporate. You’re not distributing new, healthy, clean tears across the ocular surface.” Another thing that can contribute to the dry-eye feeling is the lack of oil being distributed to the eye via your eyelid. “When we blink, we push out a little bit of oil,” Starr said. “It’s critical for healthy tear film.

If they are taking a longer time, we know the brain is not acting as fast as it needs to. It’s a wonderful tool.” The graphics were created by Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania under the supervision of Randy Pausch, who you may recall as the professor who gave the inspiring ‘Last Lecture,’ before his retirement due to the pancreatic cancer that killed him in 2008. Pausch had been attracted to the idea of a game-based eye test, because his daughter was affected by strabismus, commonly known as cross-eyes. Tirendi (pictured), a technology entrepreneur, was also inspired by personal experience. “When I was four years old, I woke up one morning unable to see anything,” he said. “I was blind.
