Simple Inhaler tips to help you ease Asthma

Simple Inhaler tips to help you ease Asthma

With Asthma or COPD, there are numerous methods to make breathing easier, and one of the most effective methods is to use your inhaler properly. These pointers will assist you in perfecting your breathing technique. So here are the inhaler tips for you.

Assist With Breathing Problems: Don’t Forget To Take Your Medicine.

If you’ve just been diagnosed with asthma or COPD, you’re undoubtedly altering your lifestyle. The greatest thing you can do to breathe better and live completely is to take your medication on time regularly as prescribed by your doctor. It will only take a few minutes of your time, but it will have a significant impact on your quality of life.

Keep it up; you’re off to a great start!

Exhale and Ready to Breathe More Easily If You Have Asthma or COPD

It is necessary for your medication to reach the lungs in order for it to function. It makes all the difference how you breathe before, during, and after using the Inhaler. You should clear your lungs just before breathing. As a result, they’ll have more room for a nice deep inhale carrying your medication. Exhale gently and deeply away from your inhaler, and then ready to inhale deeply.

With Various Kinds Of Inhalers, You Must Perfect Your Inhaling Technique.

The kind of Inhaler you use determines how you inhale your medication. The dry powder inhaler (DPI), metered dose inhaler (pMDI), and small volume nebulizer are the three major kinds of inhalers that may be used to administer asthma or COPD medicine at home. See the booklet that comes with your inhaler for additional information.

Use A Nebulizer With A Little Volume

The tiny volume nebulizer functions similarly to a pMDI in that it releases the medication when activated. If you’re using a small-volume nebulizer, take a few calm, deep breaths before pressing the dosage release button.

Hold Your Breath To Help Asthma Or COPD Medicines Work Better.

This improves the efficiency of the taking. The explanation for this is simple: while the lungs are empty, the medication has more time to settle and be absorbed. If you’re told to hold your breath, follow through. Holding your breath for 5 to 10 seconds is generally sufficient, but read the booklet that comes with your inhaler for more detailed instructions.

After Inhaling, Rinse Your Mouth

Most inhaled medicines require good oral hygiene. After inhaling, it’s a good idea to rinse your mouth with cold water, spit it out, and brush your teeth. This is to prevent potential oral adverse effects, particularly if you are taking a high dosage of the medication for an extended period of time.

Cleaning your inhaler

Last but not the least, keeping your inhaler washed and clean will help it work at its best. It will also help you avoid issues like accidentally inhaling in small pieces of fluff from the inhaler’s mouthpiece. The package insert of your inhaler would describe how and when to clean your inhaler.

Eat ghee for these reasons

Eat ghee for these reasons

Are you afraid of eating ghee because it is fat or because you read not so good article about ghee?

Before concluding not to eat ghee or branding ghee as “not a good food” let us see what ghee contains and why we should reconsider eating ghee.

Ghee has been used for thousands of years and takes center stage in Ayurveda healing practice. It is considered as on the powerful healing foods.

It is nothing but clarified butter prepared by removing the milk solids and water content.

It is simmered longer and gives a nutty flavor. It has higher smoke point compared to butter. It contains fatty acids that plays major role in improving out body health.

When taken in right amount and as a slow food, it can do wonder to our body.

  • Adding 2 to 3 teaspoons of ghee in our daily food helps in squeezing extra fat-soluble vitamins that our body require. It helps to absorb vitamin A, E and K – all these vitamins are needed for good vision.
  • Ghee does not contain lactose and casein – both these are responsible for milk allergy. While preparing ghee these elements disappear by skimming and straining!
  • The conjugated linolieic acid (CLA) is a fatty acid that helps to reduce body fat, obesity and reduces inflammation. Ghee contains CLA and one can feel reduced inflammation after applying ghee on body or when consumed orally.
  • Another reason to eat ghee – it contains fat soluble vitamins that is needed for body to absorb calcium. Vitamin K13 is a nutrient element that helps in absorption of calcium and thus strengthen the bones, teeth and also protects against the calcification of the arteries !! It also helps in absorption of Vitamin D.
  • Applying ghee to hair once a month helps in preventing dandruff and hair fall.
  • Ghee with turmeric applied on skin gives a better skin and shine for the skin.
  • Consuming ghee reduces dryness of the skin and gives younger look. It lubricates the body externally and internally.
  • Applying warm or slightly hot ghee around the belly button reduces stomach pain and reduces constipation.
  • And another important health benefit of ghee is – when taken in correct amount it helps to reduce weight in waist, belly fat and hip region.
  • Consuming ghee with honey – reduces chronic inflammation.
  • Ghee has a nutty, rich flavor and it goes well on bread and rotis. If you have not tried eating ghee this way try it today!!
  • Ghee is added in Ayurveda medicines, because it can be absorbed by body easily and it acts as a base for the herbs. It means it enhances healing power of herbs. Similarly, when we consume with rice or any other dishes, it helps in digestion of the food well.
  • Ghee helps to recover after child’s delivery – including ghee in daily diet helps to heal wounds and brings back stamina of the mother.
  • Ghee is also vital for regeneration and rebuilding of body tissues. It brings back energy, immunity and vitality. Ghee with banana, yogurt and honey improves stamina.
  • Another name for ghee is Medhya – means a substance that increases mental reception, memory and intelligence. Consuming brain nourishing herbs like gotukola (Centella asiatica) with ghee helps to boost mental power.

Did you know? In Hindu religion, ghee is used in performing rituals and “agni karya” (traditional fire). Belief is that ghee with other herbs reduces the impurity of the air and removes toxins and microbes from the air.

How much ghee one should take?

Generally, about ½ teaspoon per meal.  If you consider adding ghee in your food then, per day average intake of ghee should be about 1.5 tsp.

After knowing all these benefits, hopefully, you will include ghee in your food. Use organic ghee or try preparing ghee at home. It is easy..

What Happens To Our Body After Drinking Coca Cola?

What Happens To Our Body After Drinking Coca Cola?

We all know fizzy drinks like Coca Cola are loaded with sugar, but do you really know what happens to your body when you glug a can of the sweet stuff? Few days back following information went viral. Please do read this article to educate yourself about Coca Cola.

After 10 minutes

Ten tea spoons of sugar contained in a glass of Cola, cause devastating “strike” on the organism and the only cause, by reason of not vomiting, is the phosphoric acid which inhibits the action of sugar.

After 20 minutes

A leap of insulin levels in bloodstream occurs. The liver converts all the sugar into fat.

After 40 minutes

Ingestion of caffeine is finally completed. The eye pupils are expanding. Blood pressure rises, because the liver disposes more sugar into bloodstream. The adenosine receptors get blocked, thereby preventing drowsiness.

After 45 minutes

Body raises production of dopamine hormone, which stimulates the brain pleasure center. Heroin has the same principle of operation.

 After 1 hour

Phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in the gastrointestinal tract, which supercharges metabolism. Releasing of calcium through urine also rises.

 After more than 1 hour

Diuretic effect of the drink enters in “the game”. The calcium, magnesium and zinc are removed out of the organism, which are a part of our bones, as well as sodium. At this time we have already become irritable or subdued. The whole quantity of water, contained in a coca cola, is removed by the urine.

Actually, when having a cold bottle of Coke and enjoying its undeniable freshness, do we know what chemical “cocktail” we pour into our throats?

The active ingredient of Coca-Cola is orthophosphoric acid. Due to its high acidity, cisterns used for transporting of the concentrate have to be equipped with special reservoirs designed for highly corrosive materials.

Let’s have a look at “the anatomy” of one of the most advertised products of “Coca-Cola Co.” – Coca-Cola Light without caffeine. This drink contains Aqua Carbonated, E150D, E952, E951, E338, E330, Aromas, E211.

Aqua Carbonated – this is sparkling water. It stirs gastric secretion, increases the acidity of the gastric juice and provokes flatulency – plenty evolution of gases. Furthermore, spring water is not used, but is used regular filtered water.

E150D – food coloring, obtained through the processing of sugar at specified temperatures, with or without addition of chemical reagents. In the case with coca-cola, ammonium sulfate is added.

E952 – Sodium Cyclamate is a sugar substitute. Cyclamate is a synthetic chemical, has sweet taste, which is 200 times sweeter than sugar, and is used as an artificial sweetener. In 1969 it was banned by FDA, since it as well as saccharin and aspartame, caused cancer in rats’ urinary bladder. In 1975, prohibition seized also Japan, South Korea and Singapore. In 1979, WHO (World Health Organization), “who knows why?” rehabilitated cyclamates and recognizing them as safe.

E950 – Acesulfame Potassium. 200 times sweeter than sugar, containing methyl ether, where it aggravates the operation of the cardiovascular system. Likewise, it contains asparaginic acid which can also cause excitant effect on our nervous system and in time it can lead to addiction. Acesulfame is badly dissolved and is not recommended for use by children and pregnant women.

E951 – Aspartame. A sugar substitute for diabetics and is chemically unstable: at elevated temperature it breaks down into methanol and phenylalanine. Methanol is very dangerous: 5-10ml can cause destruction of the optic nerve and irreversible blindness. In warm soft drinks, aspartame transforms into formaldehyde which is very strong carcinogen. Some number of cases with aspartame poisoning include: unconsciousness, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, palpitation, weight gain, irritability, anxiety, memory loss, blurry vision, fainting, joint pains, depression, fertility, hearing loss and etc. Aspartame can also provoke the following diseases: brain tumors, MS (Multiple Sclerosis), epilepsy, Graves’ disease, chronic fatigue, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, mental deficiency and tuberculosis.

E338 – Orthophosphoric Acid. This can cause irritation of skin and eyes. It is used for production of phosphoric acid salts of ammonia, sodium, calcium, aluminum and also in organic synthesis for production of charcoal and film tapes, for production of refractory materials, ceramics, glass, fertilizers, synthetic detergents, medicine, metalworking, and textile and oil industries. Food orthophosphoric acid is used in the production of carbonated water and for preparation of ingredients in pastry. It is known that orthophosphoric acid interfere with the absorption of calcium and iron from the body, which can cause weakening of bones and osteoporosis. Other side effects are thirst and skin rashes.

E330 – Citric Acid. It is widely spread in nature and is used in pharmaceutical and food industries. Salts of citric acid (citrates) are used in food industry as acids, preservatives, stabilizers, and in medical fields – for preserving blood.

Aromas – unknown aromatic additives

E211 – Sodium Benzoate. It is used in production of some food products, as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent. These products refer to jams, fruit juices and fruit yoghurts. It’s not recommended for use by asthmatics and people who are sensitive to aspirin. A study conducted by Peter Piper at the Sheffield University in Britain, found that this compound causes significant damage to DNA. According to his words, sodium benzoate which is an active component in preservatives doesn’t destroy DNA, but deactivating it. This can lead to cirrhosis and degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease.

So, what turns out? Well, it turns out that “the secret recipe” of coca-cola is just one advertising play. What kind of secret may be there, when it’s well known to us that this is a weak solution of cocaine with preservatives, colorants, stabilizers and etc. I.e., this is legalized cocaine addiction plus pure poison. Diet Coke is even worse, because the aspartame in it, replaces sugar, becoming pure neurotoxic poison

So, if you can’t imagine a life without coca-cola, take advantage of the following recommendations

  • Many distributors of coca-cola in U.S use this drink for cleaning their truck engines.
  • -Many police officers in U.S have bottles of coca-cola in their cars and when a car accident happens, they wash the blood out of the road with it.
  • Coca-Cola is a great tool for removing rusty stains on chrome surfaces of cars. To remove corrosion from car battery, pour it with Coke and the corrosion will disappear.
  • To unscrew a rusty screw, dip a cloth in coca-cola and wrap around it for several minutes.
  • To clean stains from clothes – pour coca-cola on dirty clothes, add washing powder and run the washing machine as usual. You will be surprised of the results.
  • In India, some farmers use coca-cola instead of pesticides for pest extermination, because it’s cheaper and the effect is completely satisfying.So, coca-cola undeniably is a very useful product. The key is to be used for intended purposes, but not for drinking.

A Blood Test that can indicate a Heart Attack within 5 Years

A Blood Test that can indicate a Heart Attack within 5 Years

By: Amanda Froelich at www.trueactivist.com

If people learned their chances of having a heart attack within 5 years, they’d likely muster the will power needed to live a healthier life.

Are you aware that every day in America, 2,150 people die from cardiovascular-related diseases, such as heart attack and stroke? One would think this is because the developed nation has an infatuation with high-fat, high sugar refined foods, but such is the case elsewhere, too. In fact, coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.

Luckily, a new test may clue a patient into their chances of suffering an episode within 5 years – spurring them to change their habits and reduce those odds.

The Telegraph reports that researchers from the Imperial College London and University College London found that “high levels of antibodies – molecules produced by the immune system – are linked to a low risk of heart problems.” Such is the case even for individuals who have other risk factors.

Knowing this information, the team developed a new test which monitors the levels of protective immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. The antibodies appear to guard against a heart attack even when a patient already suffers from high cholesterol and hypertension – two precursors to atherosclerosis.

The test’s importance cannot be overstated. After all, everyone hears that they need to adopt healthier eating choices and lifestyle habits to ward off unwanted illnesses down the road, but few act until they HAVE to. If someone took the test and learned that they might be deceased within five years, they’d probably muster the will power to live better so they can live on Earth for a longer period of time.

1,700 people participated in the Anglo Scandinavian Outcomes Trial (ASCOT) which ran 5.5 years. During that time, 470 participants had a heart attack or stroke. This information allowed the team to compare the results with a control group of 1,283 people to determine what was different.

It was discovered that people with the highest number of antibodies had a 58% lower risk of coronary heart disease or heart disease. They also had a 38% lower risk of having a stroke other other heart event during the trial’s test period.

Dr. Ramzi Khami, consultant cardiologist at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, stated:

“Linking a stronger, more robust immune system to protection from heart attacks is a really exciting finding.

As well as improving the way we tell who is at the highest risk of a heart attack so that we can give them appropriate treatments, we now have a new avenue to follow in future work.

We hope that we can use this new finding to study the factors that lead some people to have an immune system that helps protect from heart attacks, while others don’t. We also hope to explore ways of strengthening the immune system to aid in protecting from heart disease.”

The IgG measurement test is relatively inexpensive, which means that it could be employed by more physicians in the near future. Its ability to predict one’s likelihood of suffering a heart attack within 5 years could save thousands of lives. Of course, those who learn that their health is not in the best condition will have to take action to reduce their chances of suffering a heart attack, but knowing beforehand could be the incentive needed to lessen the prevalence of disease around the world.
