मधुमेह में शहद का प्रयोग

मधुमेह रोगियों को शहद खाना चाहिए या नहीं खाना चाहिए इसे लेकर काफी भ्रम की स्थिति रहती है। लेकिन शहद में प्राकृतिक मिठास होने के कारण मधुमेह रोगी इसे खा सकते हैं। मधुमेह रोगियों को हाइपोग्लाइसिमिया की स्थिति  में शहद खाने की सलाह दी जाती है। हाइपोग्लाइसिमिया तब होता है जब आपका ब्लड शुगर काफी कम हो जाता है। लो ब्लड शुगर में अगर व्यक्ति को सही उपचार नहीं मिले तो वो 8 घंटे की अंदर मर भी सकता है। रोगियों के लिए जितना खतरनाक हाई ब्लड शुगर होता है उतनी ही खतरनाक लो ब्लड शुगर भी है। शहद में वे सारे गुण होते हैं जो रक्त में ग्लूकोज का स्तर बढ़ाते हैं और उसके दुष्प्रभावों से रोगियों का बचाते हैं।

शहद का प्रयोग युगों-युगों से होता आया है। शहद को हजम करने की आवश्यकता नहीं होती यह एक स्वयं पचा हुआ पोषक आहार है। इसके सेवन से शरीर को सीधे तौर पर उर्जा मिलती है जिसका उपयोग बच्चे, बूढ़े, जवान और रोगी सभी कर सकते है। 

शहद या मधु एक प्राकृतिक पदार्थ है, जो मधुमक्खियों द्वारा फूलों के रस को चूसकर तथा उसमें अतिरिक्त पदार्थों को मिलाने के बाद छत्ते के कोषों में एकत्र किया जाता है। मधुमेह रोगी आमतौर पर शहद का प्रयोग नहीं कर सकते है। क्योंकि शहद उनके लिए अनुकूल नहीं है। लेकिन मधुमेह रोगी एक विशेष प्रकार के शहद का इस्तेमाल कर सकते है। नीम के पेड़ों के फूल से बने हुए शहद का। इस शहद का उपयोग मधुमेह रोगी कर सकते है, पर कम मात्रा में, ज़्यादा मात्रा में नहीं। क्योकि ज्यादा मात्रा में शहद का इस्तेमाल मधुमेह रोगी को नुकसान पहुंचा सकता है।

 

क्या है हाइपोग्लाइसिमिया  

हाइपोग्लाइसीमिया वह अवस्था है जब रोगी में ब्लड शुगर का स्तर काफी कम हो जाता है। अगर रोगी का ब्लड शुगर 70 एमजी/डीएल हो जाए तो वह लो ब्लड शुगर का शिकार माना जाएगा। ब्लड शुगर अगर एक स्तर से नीचे चला जाए तो यह खतरनाक हो सकता है। हाइपोग्लाइसीमिया तब होता है जब रोगी का शरीर ज्यादा ग्लूकोज इस्तेमाल करने लगता है और उस अनुसार रक्त में ग्लूकोज के बनने की प्रकिया काफी धीमी हो जाती है। इसके अलावा रक्त में ज्यादा इंसुलिन निकलने से भी यह समस्या हो जाती है।  

मधुमेह रोगी के लिए शहद का प्रयोग करने के तरीके

• शहद कि गुणवत्ता मधुमक्खियों द्वारा बनाये जाने वाले छत्ते के स्थान पर निर्भर करता है छत्ते के आसपास लगे फूलों के गुण शहद में संचित रहते है। जामुन पर लगे छत्ते का शहद मधुमेह के लिए अधिक उपयोगी होता है। शहद शीघ्र हजम होकर रक्त में मिल जाता है। शहद को दूध, दही, पानी, सब्जी, सूप, फलों के रस में मिलाकर सेवन कर सकते हैं। 

• मधुमेह में आंवले के रस में हल्दी व शहद मिलाकर सेवन करने से भी मधुमेह रोगी को फायदा मिलता है।

मधुमेह में शहद के लाभ

• अगर मधुमेह रोगी रोज सुबह खाली पेट तुलसी के ताजे पत्तों के रस में शहद मिलाकर पीएं तो उनमें लो ब्लडशुगर की समस्या कुछ ही दिनों में ठीक हो जाती है।

• शहद में कार्बोहाइर्ड्रेट, कैलोरी और कई तरह के माइक्रो न्यूट्रिएंट काफी मात्रा में पाये जाते है, जो मधुमेह के लिए लाभकारी होता है। जिन लोगों को मधुमेह की शिकायत होती है उन्हें चीनी की जगहं पर शहद खाने की सलाह दी जाती है।

• मधुमेह के रोगियों को रोजाना ताजे आंवले के रस या सूखे आंवले के चूर्ण में हल्दी के साथ शहद मिलाकर खाने से काफी फायदा होता है।

• आंवले के रस में हल्दी व शहद मिलाकर खाने से मधुमेह रोगियों को काफी फायदा मिलता है।

• मधुमेह रोगियों को रात को सोने से पहले 10 ग्राम शहद और 10 ग्राम त्रिफला के चूर्ण को एकसाथ मिलाकर गर्म पानी के साथ पीना चाहिए। 

• शहद शुगर की मात्रा और कोलस्ट्रोल को नियंत्रित करता है। 

• शहद शरीर को ऊर्जावान बनाता है। इसलिए कम मात्रा में इसका सेवन मधुमेह में लाभकारी होता है।

मधुमेह रोगी के लिए हर रोज एक चम्मच शहद का सेवन ही फायदेमंद है, शहद का अधिक मात्रा में सेवन फायदे की बजाए नुक्सान कर सकता है ।

• Reduce the swelling and relieve pain. Apply ice to the affected muscle to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Use ice packs in the first 24 to 72 hours after a muscle strain. Apply the cold pack to the affected area three times a day for about 20 minutes.
• Over the counter ibuprofen can reduce the swelling and relieve the pain of muscle aches and pains.
• Compression bandages and elevation reduce swelling as well. Elevation promotes circulation or blood flow to the sore muscles.
• Apply heat to the affected muscle to promote increased blood flow and healing of a strained muscle. Circulation and blood flow can help to heal torn or strained muscles. Heat compresses or soaking in a hot tub can help to improve circulation in the affected area.
• Rest the affected muscles to allow healing time for strained and torn muscles. Continuing intense physical activity can prevent healing of the sore muscles and may result in further injury.
• Begin light stretching to promote healing of the muscles. Gentle stretches of the muscles can improve muscle tone during the healing process. Avoid high impact aerobic activities or weight lifting while experiencing pain in the muscles. Physical therapists can recommend stretching exercises to relieve muscle aches and pains.
• Walking, cycling or swimming can help to strengthen the muscles and avoid re-injuring them. Low impact aerobic activity provides physical exercise without causing another injury of the muscle.
• Gradually increase activities to restore normal function of the muscle. Give the muscles time to heal and stop activities if pain reoccurs.

LOWERING CHOLESTEROL...

The foods that will cut your cholesterol in just three months... and you don't have to give up cheese, chocolate or breakfast eggs

A majority of Britons, 60 per cent, have unhealthy cholesterol levels

Managing this does not have to be hard and including these foods is a start

Add 'smart foods', fibres, nuts, soya, healthy oils and oats to your diet

Your cholesterol is too high. Well, perhaps not specifically you, but thousands of Britons have this news broken to them by doctors every day. We all have an amount of this special type of fat in our blood. It is essential for many bodily functions, but most of us – 60 per cent – have too much.

High cholesterol is a key factor in developing heart disease, which claims three times more lives than breast cancer and twice as many as lung cancer. The good news is that lowering your cholesterol is the biggest thing you can do to reduce your risk. 

It’s something TV personality Gabby Logan, for one, is keen to promote. ‘A key risk factor for heart disease is high cholesterol but you can protect yourself with simple changes to lifestyle and diet,’ says Gabby, who is supporting the British Heart Foundation Love Your Heart campaign.

Few simple tweaks to your diet — like these, along with exercise and other heart-healthy habits — may be helpful in lowering your cholesterol.

1. Oatmeal, oat bran and high-fiber foods

Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the "bad," cholesterol. Soluble fiber is also found in such foods as kidney beans, apples, pears, barley and prunes.

Soluble fiber can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream. Five to 10 grams or more of soluble fiber a day decreases your total and LDL cholesterol. Eating 1 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal provides 6 grams of fiber. If you add fruit, such as bananas, you'll add about 4 more grams of fiber. To mix it up a little, try steel-cut oatmeal or cold cereal made with oatmeal or oat bran.

2. Fish and omega-3 fatty acids

Eating fatty fish can be heart healthy because of its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce your blood pressure and risk of developing blood clots. In people who have already had heart attacks, fish oil — or omega-3 fatty acids — reduces the risk of sudden death.

The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fish a week. The highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids are in:
Mackerel
Lake trout
Herring
Sardines
Albacore tuna
Salmon
Halibut

You should bake or grill the fish to avoid adding unhealthy fats. If you don't like fish, you can also get small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids from foods like ground flaxseed or canola oil.

You can take an omega-3 or fish oil supplement to get some of the benefits, but you won't get other nutrients in fish, such as selenium. If you decide to take a supplement, just remember to watch your diet and eat lean meat or vegetables in place of fish.

3. Walnuts, almonds and other nuts

Walnuts, almonds and other nuts can reduce blood cholesterol. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, walnuts also help keep blood vessels healthy.

Eating about a handful (1.5 ounces, or 42.5 grams) a day of most nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, some pine nuts, pistachio nuts and walnuts, may reduce your risk of heart disease. Just make sure the nuts you eat aren't salted or coated with sugar.

All nuts are high in calories, so a handful will do. To avoid eating too many nuts and gaining weight, replace foods high in saturated fat with nuts. For example, instead of using cheese, meat or croutons in your salad, add a handful of walnuts or almonds.

4. Olive oil

Olive oil contains a potent mix of antioxidants that can lower your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol but leave your "good" (HDL) cholesterol untouched.

Try using about 2 tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil a day in place of other fats in your diet to get its heart-healthy benefits. To add olive oil to your diet, you can saute vegetables in it, add it to a marinade or mix it with vinegar as a salad dressing. You can also use olive oil as a substitute for butter when basting meat or as a dip for bread. Olive oil is high in calories, so don't eat more than the recommended amount.

The cholesterol-lowering effects of olive oil are even greater if you choose extra-virgin olive oil, meaning the oil is less processed and contains more heart-healthy antioxidants. But keep in mind that "light" olive oils are usually more processed than extra-virgin or virgin olive oils and are lighter in color, not fat or calories.

5. Foods with added plant sterols or stanols

Foods are now available that have been fortified with sterols or stanols — substances found in plants that help block the absorption of cholesterol.

Margarines, orange juice and yogurt drinks with added plant sterols can help reduce LDL cholesterol by more than 10 percent. The amount of daily plant sterols needed for results is at least 2 grams — which equals about two 8-ounce (237-milliliter) servings of plant sterol-fortified orange juice a day.

Plant sterols or stanols in fortified foods don't appear to affect levels of triglycerides or of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the "good" cholesterol.
Other changes to your diet

For any of these foods to provide their benefit, you need to make other changes to your diet and lifestyle.

Cut back on the cholesterol and total fat — especially saturated and trans fats — that you eat. Saturated fats, like those in meat, full-fat dairy products and some oils, raise your total cholesterol. Trans fats, which are sometimes found in margarines and store-bought cookies, crackers and cakes, are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels. Trans fats raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the "bad," cholesterol, and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the "good," cholesterol.

In addition to changing your diet, keep in mind that making additional heart-healthy lifestyle changes are key to lowering your cholesterol. Talk to your doctor about exercising, quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy weight to help keep your cholesterol level low.

Understanding Bronchitis -- Cause and symptoms...

Bronchitis is inflammation or swelling of the bronchial tubes (bronchi), the air passages between the nose and the lungs. More specifically, bronchitis is when the lining of the bronchial tubes becomes inflamed or infected.

People with bronchitis breathe less air and oxygen into their lungs; they also have heavy mucus or phlegm forming in the airways. Bronchitis may be acute or chronic (long-term):

Acute bronchitis is a shorter illness that commonly follows a cold or viral infection, such as the flu. It generally consists of a cough with green sputum, chest discomfort or soreness, fever, and sometimes shortness of breath. Acute bronchitis usually lasts a few days or weeks.


Chronic bronchitis is characterized by a persistent, mucus-producing cough on most days of the month, three months of a year for two successive years in absence of a secondary cause of the cough. People with chronic bronchitis have varying degrees of breathing difficulties, and symptoms may get better and worsen during different parts of the year.

Bronchitis Causes:

Bronchitis occurs most often during the cold and flu season, usually coupled with an upper respiratory infection.

Several viruses cause bronchitis, including influenza A and B, commonly referred to as "the flu."

A number of bacteria are also known to cause bronchitis, such asMycoplasma pneumoniae, which causes so-called "walking pneumonia."

Bronchitis also can occur when a person inhales irritating fumes or dust. Chemical solvents and smoke, including tobacco smoke, have been linked to acute bronchitis.

People at increased risk of both getting bronchitis and of having more severe symptoms include the elderly, those with weakened immune systems, smokers, individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) oremphysema, and anyone with repeated exposure to lung irritants.

Who gets bronchitis?

People at increased risk of getting bronchitis and increased risk of having more severe symptoms include:

• Smokers - A study carried out by researchers at the COPD Program at Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute in Albuquerque found that smoking was associated with the overproduction of mucus that causes bronchitis. They reported their findings in theJournal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
• People who are exposed to a lot of secondhand smoke
• People with weakened immune systems
• The elderly and infants
• People with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Those who are exposed to irritants at work, such as chemical fumes from ammonia, strong acids, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide or bromine
• People who are exposed to air pollution - researchers at UC Davis discovered a close association between exposure to components of air pollution and acute bronchitis in preschool-aged kids. The air particulates, known as PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) originate from vehicle exhaust, wood-burning stoves, tobacco smoke, coal burning, and grilling food. Another study found that more people die in the United Kingdom from traffic pollution than from automobile accidents.

What are the symptoms of bronchitis?Signs and symptoms for both acute and chronic bronchitis include:

• Inflammation or swelling of the bronchi
• Coughing
• Production of clear, white, yellow, grey, or green mucus (sputum)
• Shortness of breath
• Wheezing
• Fatigue
• Fever and chills
• Chest pain or discomfort
• Blocked or runny noseAcute bronchitis usually results in a nagging cough that lingers for several weeks even after the bronchitis resolves. Chronic bronchitis's long-term inflammation leads to scarring of the bronchial tubes and airways, which leads to production of excessive mucus. Additional symptoms of chronic bronchitis include frequent respiratory infections and a cough that is worse in the mornings and in damp weather.

When to Seek Medical Care

Although most cases of bronchitis resolve on their own, some people may have complications. A doctor can prescribe treatments that relieve some of these symptoms.

Severe coughing that interferes with rest orsleep can be reduced with prescription cough medications.

Wheezing may respond to an inhaler withalbuterol (Proventil, Ventolin) or fluticasone and salmeterol (Advair), which dilates the airways.

If fever continues beyond 4 to 5 days, see the doctor fto rule out pneumonia or other serious bacterial infections.

See a health care professional if the person is coughing up blood, rust-colored sputum, or an increased amount of green phlegm.

What Is A Phobia? ...Phobias and Fears

A phobia is an irrational fear, a kind of anxiety disorder in which the sufferer has a relentless dread of a situation, living creature, place or thing. People with a phobia go to great lengths to avoid a perceived danger which is much greater in their minds than in real life. If confronted with the source of their phobia, the person will suffer enormous distress, which can interfere with their normal function; it can sometimes lead to total panic. For some people, even thinking about their phobia is immensely distressing.

A phobia starts when a person begins organizing their lives around avoiding the object of their fear. A phobia is much more serious than a simple fear. Sufferers have an overpowering need to steer clear of anything which triggers their anxiety.

If the phobia is of something the phobic person very rarely comes into contact with, such as snakes, their daily lives will not be affected. However, some complex phobias are impossible to avoid, such as agoraphobia (fear of leaving home or public places) or social phobia (fear of being among groups of people).

“Normal” fear vs. phobias

It is normal and even helpful to experience fear in dangerous situations. Fear is an adaptive human response. It serves a protective purpose, activating the automatic “fight-or-flight” response. With our bodies and minds alert and ready for action, we are able to respond quickly and protect ourselves.

But with phobias the threat is greatly exaggerated or nonexistent. For example, it is only natural to be afraid of a snarling Doberman, but it is irrational to be terrified of a friendly poodle on a leash, as you might be if you have a dog phobia.

The difference between normal fear and a phobiaNormal fear Phobia

NORMAL FEAR:

Feeling anxious when flying through turbulence or taking off during a storm 

Experiencing butterflies when peering down from the top of a skyscraper or climbing a tall ladder 

Getting nervous when you see a pit bull or a Rottweiler 

Feeling a little queasy when getting a shot or when your blood is being drawn 

PHOBIA:

Not going to your best friend’s island wedding because you’d have to fly there

Turning down a great job because it’s on the 10th floor of the office building

Steering clear of the park because you might see a dog

Avoiding necessary medical treatments or doctor’s checkups because you’re terrified of needles

What are the signs and symptoms of phobias?

A symptom is something the patient feels and describes, such as a headache, while a sign is something other people, as well as the patient can detect, as may be the case with a rash, swelling or bruising.

The following symptoms are common across the majority of phobias:

When exposed to the source of the fear there is a sensation of uncontrollable anxiety

A feeling that at all costs, the source of that fear must be avoided

The anxiety is so overwhelming when confronted with the source of the fear, that the person is unable to function properly

It is common for sufferers to acknowledge that their fears are irrational, unreasonable and exaggerated; however, in spite of this, they are unable to control their feelings

Panic and intense anxiety, which may include:

- sweating

- abnormal breathing (panting, trying to catch your breath) 

- accelerated heartbeat

- trembling

- hot flushes or chills

- a sensation of choking

- chest pains, chest tightness

- butterflies in the stomach

- pins and needles

- dry mouth

- confusion and disorientation

- nausea

- dizziness

- headache

A feeling of anxiety when the source of the fear is not there but is simply thought about

Children may cry, become very clingy, attempt to hide behind a parent's legs or an object, or have tantrums

What is the treatment for phobias?

Helping those who suffer from phobias is thought to be most effective whenpsychotherapy and medications that are specific to the treatment of phobia are both used. One form of psychotherapy involves the supportive and gradual exposure of the individual with phobias to circumstances that are increasingly close to the one they are phobic about (desensitization). These situations can either consist of actual or computer-generated anxiety-provoking stimuli.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to significantly decrease phobic symptoms by helping the phobia sufferer change his or her way of thinking. CBT uses three techniques to accomplish this goal:

Didactic component: This phase involves educating the individual about phobias and treatment and helps to set up positive expectations for therapy and promote the cooperation of the person with a phobia.

Cognitive component: It helps to identify the thoughts and assumptions that influence the person's behavior, particularly those that may predispose him or her to being phobic.

Behavioral component: This employs behavior-modifying techniques to teach the individual with a phobia more effective strategies for dealing with problems.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medications are often used to treat phobias, particularly when desensitization and CBT are inadequately effective. These medications affect levels of serotonin in the brain. Examples of these medications include fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline(Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), fluvoxamine (Luvox), citalopram (Celexa), andescitalopram (Lexapro). The possible side effects of these medications can vary greatly from person to person and depend on which medication is being used. Common side effects of this group of medications include dry mouth, sexual dysfunction, nausea, tremors, trouble sleeping, blurred vision,constipation or soft stools, and dizziness. In very rare cases, some people have been thought to become more acutely more anxious or depressed once on the medication, even trying to or completing suicide or homicide. Children and teens are thought to be particularly vulnerable to this rare possibility.

Phobias are also sometimes treated using beta-blocker medications, which decrease the physical symptoms associated with panic by blocking the effects that adrenaline has on the body. An example of a beta blocker ispropranolol. These disorders are also sometimes treated with drugs in a medication class known as benzodiazepines. This class of medications causes relaxation but is used with caution these days to treat anxiety due to the possibility of addiction and the risk of overdose, especially if taken when alcohol is also being consumed. Examples of medications from that group include diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan), andclonazepam (Klonopin).

4 Silent Signals You’re Stressed

We generally use the word "stress" when we feel that everything seems to have become too much - we are overloaded and wonder whether we really can cope with the pressures placed upon us.

Anything that poses a challenge or a threat to our well-being is a stress. Some stresses get you going and they are good for you - without any stress at all many say our lives would be boring and would probably feel pointless. However, when the stresses undermine both our mental and physical health they are bad. In this text we shall be focusing on stress that is bad for you.

Surprising Stress Symptoms

1 weekend headaches A sudden drop in stress can prompt migraines, says Todd Schwedt, MD,director of the Washington University Headache Center. Stick closely to your weekday sleeping and eating schedule to minimize other triggers.

2 awful period cramps The most stressed women are more than twice as likely to get painful cramps as those who are less tense, found a Harvard School of Public Health study. Researchers blame a stress-induced imbalance of hormones. Exercise can soothe cramps and stress by decreasing sympathetic nervous system activity.

3 an achy mouth A sore jaw may be a sign of teeth grinding, which can be worsened by stress, says Matthew Messina, DDS, a consumer advisor to the American Dental Association. Ask your dentist about a nighttime mouth guard—up to 70% of people who use one reduce grinding or stop it altogether.

4 odd dreams Dreams usually get progressively more positive as you sleep, so you wake up happier than you were before bed, says Rosalind Cartwright, PhD, an emeritus professor of psychology at Rush University Medical Center. When stressed, you wake up more often, disrupting this process and allowing unpleasant imagery all night. Good sleep habits can help prevent this; aim for 7 to 8 hours a night, and avoid caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime

What works best to cure and prevent canker sores?By DR.ANDREW WEIL DR.

DR.ANDREW WEIL is director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona and is a pioneer in the use of natural healing therapy.

These painful mouth sores are most common in women of all ages and young people, although we don’t know why. Canker sores also tend to crop up when your immune system is weakened by colds or stress. To discover your personal triggers, keep a journal of your outbreaks and the typical causes of fl are-ups: stress, your period, and certain foods. The sores usually clear up on their own in a week or two, but in the meantime, you can take the following steps to speed healing.

Soothe Them Naturally

Make a homemade healing paste. My favorite natural fi x is an herbal supplement, deglycyrrhizinated licorice, which some studies show can help reduce the size of sores, speed healing, and ease pain. Look for chewable tablets or DGL powders at health food stores or online. When using the powder, mix it with water to make a paste, and apply to the sore every few hours until symptoms improve. Try an herbal lozenge. Suck on slippery elm lozenges, which are made from the bark of the slippery elm tree and help soothe the tissue inside your mouth and throat. You can find them in most health food stores.

Prevent Sores for Good

Avoid food triggers. Spicy and acidic foods, such as coffee, oranges, grapefruit, and pineapple, can cause outbreaks or worsen canker sores by aggravating the sensitive tissue inside your mouth. Salty pretzels and chips, nuts, strawberries, chocolate, and cheese can also be problematic for some people. Consider getting tested for a wheat allergy, which has been linked to increased susceptibility to canker sores. Finally, do eat foods rich in B vitamins, such as leafy greens, poultry, and dairy products; a defi ciency of vitamin B12 or folic acid can also lead to canker sores. Brush properly. Brushing your teeth too aggressively can aggravate

your gums and provoke sores. Also, look for toothpastes and mouthwashes that do not contain sodium lauryl sulfate, a chemical that can cause sores in people who are sensitive to it.
