If the cause of cold feet is poor circulation, a prescribed course of treatment might include water applications, foot exercises, aerobic exercise, massage and diet to improve blood flow and warm up the extremities.

Avocado Sandwich (Photo credit: J. Chris Vaughan ) In general, aim to consume about 3,500 milligrams of potassium a day. Your best bet is simply to eat more potassium-rich foods, especially fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. If you're following the DASH diet, eating these foods shouldn't be much of a problem. Have a cup of orange juice with breakfast, half an avocado in a salad at lunch, and half a cup of cooked spinach or a baked potato with dinner. For snacks, try a banana, 8 ounces of low-fat yogurt, or five dried prunes.

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The potato’s stereotype as a fattening food for health-conscious folks to avoid is getting another revision today as scientists report that just a couple servings of spuds a day reduces blood pressure almost as much as oatmeal without causing weight gain. Scientists reported on the research, done on a group of overweight people with high blood pressure. “The potato, more than perhaps any other vegetable, has an undeserved bad reputation that has led many health-conscious people to ban them from their diet,” said Joe Vinson, Ph.D., who headed the research. “Mention ‘potato’ and people think ‘fattening, high-carbs, empty calories’. In reality, when prepared without frying and served without butter, margarine or sour cream, one potato has only 110 calories and dozens of healthful phytochemicals and vitamins. We hope ou...

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) taking blood pressure in PE (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Raisins: Eating raisins and soy appears to help reduce high blood pressure, thus warding off heart disease. Munching on a handful of raisins three times a day helped people with slightly elevated blood pressure lower their numbers after several weeks, said one of the studies presented at the American College of Cardiology conference. Blood pressure ranged from 120 over 80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) to 139 millimeters of mercury over 89 mm Hg, or just higher than normal. The raisin-eating group saw significant drops in blood pressure, in some cases lowering the top number, or systolic pressure, by 10.2, or seven percent over the 12-week study. Researchers think that high level of potassium in the shriveled, dried grapes. "Raisins are packed with potassium, which is known to lower blood pressure," said lead investigator Harold B...

"Structure Redetermination and Packing Analysis of Aspirin Crystal". Chem. Pharm. Bull. 33 (7) : 2641-2647. ISSN 1347-5223. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) BRUSSELS - There is additional evidence that aspirin can prevent cancer, and can help treat. A regular small dose of aspirin is today prescribed to heart problems. Soon cancer? Previous research has found evidence that prolonged aspirin intake, about ten years every day reduces the risk of cancer. New studies reinforce that suspicion now. And the beneficial effect appears to act quickly: after three to five years. Moreover, aspirin appears to the emergence of metastases of cancers already present to slow down. This is contained in a series of three articles published yesterday in the medical journal The Lancet . The three studies are meta-analyzes "in which...

Ook kinderen komen in groten getale met hun ouders mee naar ziekenhuizen op de Open dag van de zorg. Dit onderstreept de openbare functie van een ziekenhuis, en hoe goed ouders het belang zien hun kinderen hiermee vertrouwd te maken. Werkbezoeken aan ziekenhuizen brengen was altijd al een van de leukere onderdelen van mijn werk, maar wat ik heb gezien tijdens de Open dag van de zorg 2012 heeft écht mijn hart verwarmd. Ik was uitgenodigd om te komen kijken in het Ruwaard van Putten Ziekenhuis in Spijkenisse. En de vriendelijkheid van alle medewerkers die ik daar sprak en zag, was dermate overweldigend dat ik niet kon nalaten aan de bestuurder te vragen of ze hiertoe extra waren geïnstrueerd. Niets daarvan, het enthousiasme dat deze mensen uitstraalden, was puur en eerlijk en was op geen enkele manier voorbereid of van bovenaf opgelegd. Deze medewerkers waren spontaan en open en traden de bezoekers van de open dag met grote inzet tegemoet. Ze vertelden over de zorg, legden uit wat hun...

Uit onderzoek “Souvenir 1 en 2” van professor Philip Scheltens van het Alzheimer Centrum VU, blijkt dat specifieke nutriënten bij licht dementerende patiënten zorgen voor een duidelijke verbetering van het geheugen. Wellicht een doorbraak in het onderzoek naar behandeling van dementie. Tijdens de ‘Nationale Hersenlezing’ van de Hersenstichting Nederland sprak professor Scheltens over dit onderzoeksresultaat. Verder betoogde hij dat de exponentiële stijging van het aantal dementerenden noopt tot een Deltaplan tegen deze ziekte: “Uit het World Alzheimer rapport 2010 blijkt dat de kosten voor dementie in Nederland 7,5 miljard euro bedragen, gelijk aan de totale rijksuitgaven voor Defensie en Verkeer en Waterstaat samen. Scheltens pleit voor extra investeringen in onderzoek naar bestrijding van dementie. “Bij aids is de mortaliteit met 85 procent gedaald door extra geld voor onderzoek. Voor dementie geldt dat het vijf voor twaalf is.” Related articles Computer model of spread o...

Voor een aantal groepen mensen, de zogenaamde risicogroepen, is griep echter wel een reden om contact op te nemen met de huisartspraktijk. Zij moeten tegen het griepvirus worden gevaccineerd. Huisartsen voeren meestal een actief beleid om mensen uit deze groepen op te sporen en te benaderen. U behoort tot een risicogroep, als: > onder behandeling bent (geweest) bij uw huisarts of een specialist in verband met een longaandoening > onder behandeling bent (geweest) in verband met een ...

She has found a secret for baby gender prediction. She uses neck hairline of the previous child to predict gender of the next baby. If this is your second child, look at the back of the neck of your first born. Does the hairline across the back of the neck go straight across, or come to a point? If the hairline goes straight across, your baby will be the same gender that your first born is. So, if your first born is a boy, you'll be having another boy. If the hairline goes to a point, your baby will be the opposite gender of what your firstborn is. So, if your first born is a boy, you'll be having a girl!
