Diabetes

What is Diabetes

During digestion most foods are converted into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that is the main fuel source for the body. Once food has been converted into glucose, it moves into the bloodstream where it is circulated around the body. It then passes into the body's cells to be used as energy. 
For glucose to pass from the bloodstream into the cells, insulin is required. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas - a large gland that sits behind the stomach. Specialised cells in the pancreas, called beta cells, automatically produce the correct amounts of insulin to move the glucose into the cells. Insulin production rises and falls throughout the day in response to the body's needs. However in people with diabetes, there is a problem with the production of insulin or with the body's ability to use the insulin. 



Diabetes is a metabolic disorder, which means a problem with the process by which food is digested and used as energy by the body. It is a chronic (long-term) condition characterised by high levels of glucose in the blood (hyperglycaemia). If not treated it can cause long-term complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, stroke, circulatory problems and damaged vision.

What is Symptoms of Diabetes

The onset of symptoms in Type 1 diabetes is typically quite sudden and symptoms can be severe.  However the symptoms of Type 2 diabetes tend to manifest gradually, so much so that they may go unnoticed.  When hyperglycaemia occurs, the body tries to get rid of the excess glucose by excreting it in the urine.  This increases urine output and can lead to dehydration.  At the same time the body's cells are starved of the glucose energy they need. The combination of these factors produces the common symptoms of diabetes.  These may include: 

• Weight loss
• Excessive thirst
• Excessive urination
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Irritability
• Yeast infections
• Blurry vision
• Skin wounds or infections that are slow to heal
• Numbness and tingling in the feet.

What is Treatment of Diabetes

Many natural foods also help with blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes. These include Sage, buckwheat, okra, peas, Brewer’s yeast, fenugreek seeds and broccoli and other vegetables. These foods help because they are high in fiber. Some herbs help also reported, including garlic, nettle, ginger, ginseng and Hawthorn. 
Diabetes mellitus is known in Ayurveda as “Madhumeha”. Ayurveda describes the pathology of this disease as caused by a disturbed “Meda Kleda and Kapha”. It is believed that all body tissues lose their vitality due to this condition. 
Hands on massage therapy can improve the health and well-being of a person. Muscles and soft tissues are manipulated in this process which affects the circulatory, nervous system and muscles of the body. Since massage was used to treat diabetes and other diseases.

What is Causes of Diabetes

We know that diabetes develops as a result of your body’s cells, not getting enough insulin (a hormone that helps convert blood sugar/glucose into energy). This is usually because the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin, or because your body’s cells begin to resist insulin. Although we know what leads to the development of diabetes who don’t currently know why this happens in some individuals and not others. 
Type 1 diabetes is caused by the body’s immune system destroys the insulin-creating cells in the pancreas. This process leads to a complete lack of insulin in the body, thus forcing a dependency on insulin injections. 
Another factor is the inadequate diet. If you eat too much sugar, proteins, fats and refined carbohydrates, which turn into sugar, you can trigger diabetes. Studies have shown that people in poor countries are not affected by diabetes in so many because they don’t overeat. 
Recent research has found that infection, like strephylococci, can also lead to diabetes. Age is being accused as well. As you get older, they increase the chances of developing diabetes. Also, just like diabetes can lead to hypertension, suffering from hypertension can lead to diabetes.

Dwarfism

What is Dwarfism

Dwarfism is a condition of short stature. It is defined by the advocacy group Little People of America (LPA) as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches or under, as a result of a medical or genetic condition. Although other groups may extend the criteria for certain forms of dwarfism to 5 feet, the average height of an adult with dwarfism is 4 feet. 
There are two main categories of dwarfism -- disproportionate and proportionate. Disproportionate dwarfism is characterized by an average-size torso and shorter arms and legs or a shortened trunk with longer limbs. In proportionate dwarfism, the body parts are in proportion but shortened.

• Poor growth
• Failure to thrive

• Normal intelligence - many types of dwarfism do not affect intelligence
• Subnormal intelligence - some types do affect mental ability
• Normal sexual organs

What is Causes of Dwarfism

Dwarfism can be caused by any of more than 200 conditions. Causes of proportionate dwarfism include metabolic and hormonal disorders such as growth hormone deficiency.

The most common types of dwarfism, known as skeletal dysplasias, are genetic. Skeletal dysplasias are conditions of abnormal bone growth that cause disproportionate dwarfism.  

They include:

Achondroplasia. The most common form of dwarfism, achondroplasia occurs in about one out of 26,000 to 40,000 babies and is evident at birth. People with achondroplasia have a relatively long trunk and shortened upper parts of their arms and legs. Other features of achondroplasia include:

• a large head with a prominent forehead
• a flattened bridge of the nose

anxiety its Management

                                  Anxiety 

Anxiety is something that we all experience sometimes. All of us experience a wide range of emotions, both positive and negative. Negative emotions such as anger, fear, and apprehension are normal human responses to unpleasant or dangerous situations, and are in fact necessary for survival. Sometimes however, these emotions get out of hand and occur without any stimulus, even to the point of disrupting our daily activities and harming our health.

Symptoms of Anxiety

Like many psychological problems, an anxiety disorder is a little difficult to detect, particularly as many of the symptoms are normal human responses. The key difference however is that these responses occur without any stimulus. Sometimes the individual is almost constantly in a state of worry, while others may experience sudden, unprovoked “anxiety attacks”.

Some of the symptoms of anxiety disorder include:

• Constant state of apprehension
• Irritability
• Restlessness
• Fatigue and exhaustion
• Inability to concentrate
• Chest pain
• Headaches
• Breathlessness
• Nausea
• Indigestion
• Insomnia
• Inability to calm down or relax

Causes of Anxiety

Unlike a physical disease or medical condition, there are no specific causes of anxiety. A variety of causes can combine to have a negative effect on a person, ultimately resulting in an anxiety disorder. The body’s chemical processes, one’s life experiences, and many other factors play a role. There can be specific elements of your life and environment that make you anxious and contribute to the problem of anxiety, such as work pressure, academic expectations, or major illness, or there can be a general existential crisis. Constant worry can cause panic attacks.

Remedies for Anxiety

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a good treatment for anxiety, and you can do it on your own. Lavender oil is particularly effective, but you can also use jasmine or sandalwood.

Vitamins

Meditation
