Diabetes is a disease which can be achieved without knowing it. Yet some symptoms should trigger the alert: persistent fatigue, a desire to urinate often, excessive thirst, excessive hunger, a weight loss not resulting from a reduced calorie diet, blurred vision, difficulty heal, vomiting, infections of the genitals, tingling in the extremities, a change of character or mood.

The list is long and of course it is not necessary to present all these symptoms to worry about. If in doubt should immediately consult their GP because most diagnosed early the better.

Diabetes is a disease whose consequences can be disastrous and very disabling. It is therefore necessary to care for and adopt a healthy lifestyle to maintain strict healthy. Eat a balanced diet, little or no refined sugar, the least fat. In fact everyone should eat like diabetics because their diet is the assurance of good health. Following the same lifestyle as a diabetic, that is, a healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity, we fight against overweight and physical inactivity, two evils to fight for everyone.

If you want to learn more about diabetes, for yourself or someone close to you, I recommend the blog of a young diabetic who shared his experience and his daily life. Better Living Diabetes is the credo since the announcement of his illness.

If you suffer from ingrown toenails and you see your family doctor , he may refer you directly to an orthopedic surgeon. This is what happened to me recently and I emerged from the consultation with a letter to the specialist.

The prospect of an operation was far from me to rejoice for I confess I was scared to death of this intervention and especially the famous anesthetic injection, which is supposedly a bad dog. After the operation is normally done as an outpatient, day hospital translate, you go home with a ban on walking for about three days. A nurse has to come to you dressing every day and you're doing with a stop work two to three weeks. What happiness!

In short, I am a reason and the secretariat of the surgeon called in mid-August. No problem I get an appointment for October 26 for a first meeting. Fortunately, the secretary, very kindly, advised me waiting to see a pedicure which she said could get excellent results without resorting to surgery always traumatic.

Listening to good advice I contacted a pedicure recommended by a colleague. Hallelujah, she receives the next day and began to treat this damn ingrown nail, gently. I would not argue that the case is a fun but frankly I was certainly more fear than harm. And after three treatment sessions the ingrown nail resolves slowly but surely.

Have, have, have I still have a panari to toe! It should not make this a habit because it really hurts. Well I'm not here to complain, complain or make me but if my experience can be useful at least it will have served some purpose.

First of all what do you recognize a panari? It begins with an inflammation on the edge of a fingernail and if we are not careful it becomes infected. This often occurs when cutting nails or if they are embodied. A tiny injury opens the door to bacteria that are engulfed with pleasure. A red dot on the edge of a fingernail is a warning sign not to be neglected.

If you did not notice anything but a shooting pain appears with the formation of a white blister on Panarea is definitely there. If you have Betadine or transcutaneous hexomédine (the latter without prescription) in your medicine cabinet , soak the infected finger in this solution. Take an immediate appointment with the doctor as this benign condition can worsen and cause significant complications.

The doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to take by mouth and you will continue the antiseptic baths. Everything back to normal within days.

After reading an advertisement I was tempted to buy the famous patches to stick under the arch at night. There are several brands and advertising the most surprising are those who argue that the user can get healthy in a single night, no less! To borrow the slogan "you lie sick, you wake up healthy."

That is not going to doctors and pharmacists but would seriously reduce the hole in the abyssal social security . In short I let myself be seduced by this tempting offer, saying that for 14 € 90 to 10 patches I do not risk much.

The active ingredients in the patches are Orescience tourmaline , wood vinegar, perlite, chitosan, extract of wormwood and purified silica. I knew that many of these products and did not know what could be their action. At least Orescience did not promise a cure as fast as miraculous but simply to clean the body by eliminating toxins.

According to the laboratory our body stores toxins in contact with the air pollution, water, radiation and food. Certainly there is no day on the news where one or other of these nuisance does the one. The application under each foot for five nights cures is supposed to reduce stress, improve breathing, clear complexion, driving fatigue and heaviness.

So for 5 nights I stuck my patches and conscientiously in the morning, as well as describing the record, my all white patches had taken a dark brown color. If I did not feel a dramatic improvement in my health, I still found a better quality of my sleep. My nights are more peaceful and my more restful sleep. So my days are less painful and I feel less tense.

And to think that I had to wait 57 years to discover I had a heel spur in the foot and my parents had forgotten to make frontal sinuses!

As part of a battery of examinations for a cough that would not stop and resisted all treatment, my doctor to get to the bottom gave me a chest x-ray and one of the sinuses. And here's the verdict falls, I have no frontal sinuses ever since my birth. What a news! I did not even know we had different types of sinuses: the maxillary, the frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid and. Well I'm going to do a trial to my parents for this little defect that makes me far never caused harm.

As I suffered terribly under one foot, the doctor, once again, gave me a radio. Another! And this time, still surprises, I had a bone that had grown in the foot. Well actually the scientific name is heel spur. Never heard before that famous spine but in any case I better understand the expression "to be removed a thorn from the foot" because the case is particularly painful. Once diagnosed, there are no solutions 36. The spine does not occur and only wearing orthotics can provide relief, finally, is what the doctor said.

Sleep is an essential element of our quality of life but the balance is fragile. Worries, hassles, the health problems, all the stress factors affecting it.

What to do when you fled, and the hours on the march alarm clock without being able to find it? Tic, tock, tick, tock .... You change all the time position in bed, you keep your back and can out of your mind the dark thoughts that agitate you. You already know, and you understand, that the clock in the morning, after so little sleep, will be painful as the day that follows.

Lack of sleep will become heavier throughout the working day and you will struggle to concentrate. The head heavy, low morale, you'll want, going to bed. Yet, paradoxically, the more you will be tired and you will have trouble falling asleep when night comes.

This is the vicious circle. How to stop it? Taking sleeping pills? Envy is great but I can not bring myself to as I fear addiction to these substances. And then finally it will not solve the underlying problems, this will only hide them during those few hours of respite.

I'm not losing weight by Dr. Pierre Dukan

The flagship title of the book by Dr. Pierre Dukan has already attracted over one million readers. The author of the book preface sentences shock: "20 million French people are overweight, 35 to 40 000 die each year. Who cares? You! But you do not know what to do. "

8 years after its publication more than a million French bought this book, tried and adopted the Dukan diet. The method is simple, even extremely simple. An attack phase during which the candidate for weight loss only eat protein , without limitation of quantity, or frequency. This first step does not exceed 10 days and each shall determine the duration depending on the weight he has to lose. In three days you can expect to lose up to 2, 5 kg with at least 1 kg from day one. Motivating is not it?

Then follows the cruise phase known to be maintained until reaching the proper weight. The nuance is significant, it is a perfect weight but a reasonable weight and therefore attainable. It must take into account age. I do not know if the love boat during this phase of protein alternatives when they are accompanied by vegetables.

When it reaches its proper weight, it is important not to let down our guard because we must remain voluntary and concentrated to attack the consolidation. This step is probably the most important. It should last 10 days lost per kilogram. Do your maths!

The final stage of thinness found is the final stabilization. This is a resolution to life one day a week of pure protein, consumed daily 3 tablespoons of oat bran and leave the elevators in favor of the stairs. You have to choose one day a week to eat only proteins (eg Thursday) and never deviate. This is the advice of Dr. Dukan because if we start by changing the day we finally abandon the practice key to weight maintenance.

Packed lunches

Lunch at work, and finally on the run as they say commonly, does not necessarily result of a choice. The absence of a canteen, the distance from home or during limited hours we sometimes require.

In this situation eat a healthy, balanced diet is not always easy and requires a little ingenuity. Lasse rubbery sandwiches from the corner convenience stores, their small salad trays watered their age-old orange sauce and did not like going alone to the restaurant, I finally found the solution.

Opportunely flipping catalog gifts loyalty U stores , I spotted and purchased with my points, what they call the bag lunch. This clever little insulated cooler has three boxes that go from freezer to microwave (through the dishwasher). One box contains a sealed bag that is put to chill.

The frozen bag is placed on a grid in one of the boxes, the bottom can still be used. Cold is distributed throughout the cooler. The other two boxes can be compartmentalized or not with a removable bin. The locking system wisely called "Lock & Lock" guarantees a perfect seal.

So now I can cook a full meal: salad, main dish to reheat in the microwave, dessert or fruit. I am not afraid of breaking the cold chain and I can vary my meals.

Healers, facilitators of fire as well as those who hunt or licking the venom shingles are part of history. They have survived the centuries and still today, despite the tremendous progress of traditional medicine, they continue to work.

Critics say they are acting on self suggestion, they have no power out. Indeed their actions totally beyond the rational. They have no medical training and being blown or put your hands on a patient is the magic . There was a time where we have invoked the same witchcraft and evil forces.

Yet we all know at least one person on whom it worked. The grandfather of my husband hunted venom and dressed shingles because he was born on October 6. The popular saying says "the St Bruno, was dressed all evil." Believe it or not but many people who had been bitten by a viper (he lived in the country) were not performed against injecting poison, but came to consult. He rubbed the site of the bite with saliva and that was it. I can assure you that no one died. The service was completely free and reputation of the surrounding area was acquired.

I myself have been relieved of erythema nodosum very invasive and painful, against which medicine was powerless, for a little old lady of 80 years at the time (now deceased, rest his soul). In three sessions all symptoms had completely disappeared to the amazement of my GP who did not stop to comment.

Of course charlatans can unfortunately slip into the lot and some caution. Nothing beats word of mouth to undertake such an approach.

Even more surprisingly, the medical authorities, are now using these healers, shamans or Energisers. They explained the phenomenon, but not always recognize the benefits of these practices including burn victims and patients treated by radiotherapy. Relief of suffering is immediate and accelerated healing significantly compared to conventional treatment protocols.
