TOP 10 COMMON MYTHS ABOUT AMD

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), also known as wet AMD, is a condition
that causes vision loss in the center of the retina. The disease can be caused
by high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and other factors. Age-related
macular degeneration does not affect a person’s eyesight overnight but
progresses over time. However, diagnosing it early is essential for keeping
one’s baseline vision intact. This article debunks 10 common myths about the
condition. Read on to know more. Dry AMD is easier to treat than Wet AMD
Patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can see improvement
within just one month after starting a new treatment plan. Many people think dry
AMD is more difficult to treat than wet AMD, but the opposite is true. While
both forms of the disease can cause vision loss and blindness if left untreated,
dry AMD does not require surgery or prescription treatment as frequently as it
does for those with wet AMD. One will know right away if they have AMD The truth
is that most patients with AMD do not know they have it. Generally, at the
initial stages, it creates only minor vision changes or shows no symptoms at
all. It is only at a later stage, when the vision starts getting worse, does a
person realize that something is wrong with their eyesight.

DENTAL IMPLANTS – TYPES, BENEFITS, AND PROCEDURE

Dental implants are the most promising way to restore a smile on the faces of
people who have lost one or more teeth. This procedure is widely suggested for
people who lost their teeth in an accident or due to periodontal disease. Dental
implants help people grind and chew food properly and also help in giving their
appearance a proper definition. Read on to learn more about this procedure, its
types, and its benefits. Who needs dental implants? An individual with one or
more missing teeth or damaged roots would require dental implants. This
procedure replaces a tooth or teeth that have been lost. They are usually made
of titanium, a biocompatible metal that does not cause inflammation in the body
when it enters it. It can replace one or more teeth, including the root of a
molar (the back part of your upper jaw). Types of dental implants There are
three types of dental implants – endosteal implants, subperiosteal implants, and
zygomatic implants. Dental implants are placed into the jawbone. They can be
placed either endosteal (through the bone) or subperiosteal (on the surface of
your jawbone). Endosteal implants Endosteal implantation is done by creating a
hole in your oral cavity, then inserting a metal post inside this opening.

MANAGING AFIB – BEST FOODS TO CONSIDER

Heart-related issues are some of the most concerning health concerns in the
country. Of these, a key condition is atrial fibrillation or abnormal heart
rhythm. The country sees over 454,000 hospitalizations with atrial fibrillation
as the primary diagnosis, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC). However, one can prevent and manage the condition by making lifestyle
changes, including healthy eating habits. Here are some heart-healthy foods to
help deal with atrial fibrillation: Causes and symptoms Atrial fibrillation, or
AFib, is heart arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm. The condition usually causes
an irregular or fast heartbeat and can be fatal if not treated immediately.
Atrial fibrillation is caused by an imbalance between the electrical impulses
that control the heartbeat’s rhythm in the left atrium—the top section of the
heart. One may have this irregular heartbeat for several months before or after
being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. The condition develops when the upper
chambers of the heart beat irregularly and chaotically. An irregular heartbeat
can cause severe damage to blood vessels, making them leak fluid. If left
untreated, this fluid buildup can lead to organ failure and other serious
complications. Here are some of the common causes of AFib: High blood pressure:

DENTAL IMPLANTS – FOODS TO EAT AND AVOID

Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth, but there are certain
things that one should avoid after getting the procedure. The gums are delicate
after the surgery. Many patients return to the dentist because of a post-surgery
injury caused by a particular food item. Apart from following proper oral
hygiene, it is also essential to watch out for certain foods to protect the
implants. What are dental implants? Dental implants are artificial tooth roots
that replace missing teeth. They are made of titanium and surgically placed in
the jawbone, replacing your natural tooth with an implant that looks, feels, and
functions like a real one. The implants can replace single or multiple teeth in
both the upper and lower jaws. The procedure involves placing an implant into
your jawbone behind (or below) the remaining healthy natural teeth so they can
support new ones when needed later. List of foods eat after dental implants
Macaroni and cheese This food is both tasty and filled with carbohydrates and
fats, which can curb your cravings. It can also satiate your hunger pangs. Eggs
Eggs, soft-boiled or scrambled, or plain omelets are suitable for your teeth and
serve as a daily dose of protein.

AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION – CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, AND MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a common condition that affects the
macula – a light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Age-related Macular
Degeneration is the top cause of blindness in people over 65, affecting more
than 6 million people today. As you age, AMD can cause a progressive loss in
central vision (the ability to see objects clearly). It can lead to vision loss
or blurriness of things you see with your central eye. Here we will take an
in-depth look at what causes AMD, how it affects your eyesight, and what
treatments are available. What is macular degeneration? Macular degeneration is
a disease that affects the macula or the light-sensitive tissue at the back of
your eye. It causes blurred vision and loss of central vision (the area where
you see things clearly). This can make driving dangerous or impossible for some
individuals who have lost their peripheral vision because they cannot judge
distances accurately anymore. Risk factors In general, the following risk
factors are associated with AMD: Age (50 or older) Gender (men more likely than
women) Family history of AMD in first-degree relatives (parents and siblings),
especially if there is a tendency for early onset of the condition High-risk
factors include high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes.

COMMON KIDNEY DISEASES AND HOW TO MANAGE THEM

The kidneys are among the essential organs in the body. They help eliminate
toxins from the blood and transform the impurities into urine. Unfortunately,
several diseases may affect the kidneys and prevent them from functioning
correctly. As per estimates, around six million people in our country aged 18 or
older suffer from kidney disease. It can affect one or both kidneys and can be
severe enough to require dialysis or even transplantation if not managed. What
are the types of kidney diseases? They are mainly divided into chronic kidney
disease (CKD) and acute kidney disease (AKD): Chronic kidney disease CKD is a
long-term problem affecting the organ’s ability to filter waste from the blood.
Here, the kidney is affected gradually, usually due to ailments like diabetes or
high blood pressure. The main symptoms are tiredness, feeling sick more often,
and weakness in one arm or leg when standing up (this may go away on standing up
straight). Acute kidney disease AKD occurs suddenly and is more severe but not a
long-term problem. It may result from damage to the organ due to an illness or
treatment. The symptoms include chest pain, stomach pain, loss of appetite, and
fever, among others.

KEY THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MACULAR DEGENERATION

Macular degeneration is an eye disorder that affects the macula, a tiny part of
the retina that provides sharp central vision. The most common kind of this
disease is age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which affects many people in
our country over 60 years. While there is no cure for macular degeneration,
several treatments and lifestyle changes help manage the symptoms and improve
your vision so that it does not interfere with everyday life. What are the types
of macular degeneration? There are two common types of the condition: Wet or
exudative macular degeneration This is the more common type. It occurs when the
tiny blood vessels in front of your retina get damaged and leak fluid into your
eye, causing swelling, redness, and dampness. The condition can affect your
central vision and cause blurry patches in the center. Central vision is the
area you see directly in front of you. Dry or atrophic macular degeneration Also
known as senile macular degeneration, this condition occurs when the retina does
not receive sufficient oxygen due to damage from aging; it results in a
breakdown of the central part of the retina (the photoreceptors). What causes
this eye disorder? The risk factors include genetics and lifestyle ailments,
such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and diabetes.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT KIDNEY PROBLEMS

Kidney diseases are some of the most common and life-threatening conditions that
affect patients worldwide. These diseases lead to kidney function failure over
time. It can be caused by various factors, including environmental toxins,
genetic predispositions, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Kidney disease can
lead to severe health complications such as acute renal failure (ARF), chronic
kidney disease (CKD), or chronic renal failure (CRF). A healthy kidney is a sign
of a healthy body and lifestyle. The function of the kidney The kidney is an
essential organ that performs many functions in the body. It filters the blood,
removes waste products and excess water from the body, and helps maintain a
person’s balance of electrolytes like sodium and potassium. Kidneys help
maintain their normal levels of salt concentration which is essential for the
proper functioning of every cell tissue in the body because, without adequate
amounts of salt, no cells can function properly. The kidney also plays a vital
role in regulating blood pressure and volume by keeping them at appropriate
levels through urine production. The kidneys also regulate fluid balance in your
body by removing excess water from urine and adding extra water into the urine
when necessary for your body tissues not to be dehydrated.  Kidney failure is
when a person’s kidneys cannot function properly due to disease or injury; this
condition can be fatal if left untreated.

MODIFYING HOMES FOR PEOPLE WITH POOR VISION

One of the top reasons for low vision and blindness in people over 55 is macular
degeneration. Macular degeneration causes loss of vision due to damage to the
macula in the retina of the eye. It can be difficult for people with this
condition to live in inaccessible homes. So, to ensure ease of maneuverability
for people with macular degeneration or similar conditions, here are 13 tips to
make a home low-vision friendly. Use clear and contrasting colors for walls The
key to making a low-vision-friendly home is using light and dark colors. Dark
colors can be complex for those with low vision, but if used intelligently, it
can make all the difference. The answer lies in how light reflects off certain
surfaces. If you have a bright yellow wall with black trim around it, then any
space adjacent to it will be illuminated by daylight coming through windows
above them. Contrasting shades like white or black help keep things cooler by
reflecting out more heat than they receive from direct sunlight. Place essential
items in your line of sight Ensure that important items, such as mobility aids,
phones, and other necessities, are within your line of sight and not obscured by
something else in the room.

NASAL POLYPS – SYMPTOMS, CAUSES, AND MANAGEMENT

Nasal polyps can be a symptom of an underlying condition or occur independently.
The visible signs and symptoms of nasal polyps include congestion, runny nose,
loss of smell, and pressure or pain around your eyes and cheeks. A deviated
septum may contribute to nasal polyps. However, they can also occur in people
who do not have this condition, such as athletes who blow their noses frequently
during exercise routines. Read on to learn more about nasal polyps. What are
nasal polyps? Nasal polyps are small, soft growths that develop in the lining of
the nasal passages and sinuses. They are also sometimes called nasal tumors or
nasal corking. They are not cancerous, contagious, or caused by allergies. Nasal
polyps may also be associated with other conditions like chronic rhinosinusitis
(CRS), allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic sinusitis (CS), and asthma. Nasal polyps
typically develop before the age of 40, and they do not usually cause symptoms
until they grow larger or become inflamed or infected.  However, large nasal
polyps can block airflow through your nose. If this happens, you may experience
sinusitis, headaches, and a stuffy or runny nose. You may also experience
difficulty breathing through one nostril at a time if large polyps block the
other nostril completely.

ATOPIC DERMATITIS – CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, AND MORE

Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a disorder that results in dry, irritable, and
inflammatory skin. Though it can affect anyone, young children are more
vulnerable to this disorder. The symptoms include recurring (chronic) and
sporadic flare-ups, though it is not contagious. Atopic dermatitis patients risk
contracting asthma and seasonal and food allergies. Regular moisturizing and
skin disease condition-related treatments help alleviate itching and prevent
further outbreaks. Using medicated lotions or ointments during treatment is also
helpful. Symptoms Depending on an individual’s age, the severity of the
condition, and other circumstances, symptoms of atopic dermatitis may vary.
Those who have the condition typically experience phases of worsening symptoms,
followed by times of improvement or even complete disappearance. The following
sections will cover some likely variances in symptoms in more detail. General
eczema symptoms Eczema symptoms are usually not severe. The most common signs
and symptoms of atopic dermatitis include dry, itchy skin, skin flushing, or
weeping sores.  Individuals with severe eczema skin disease may need more
intensive care to eliminate their problems. Infections of the skin can also
result from persistent touching and scratching. The appearance of the skin area
afflicted by atopic dermatitis will vary depending on the frequency of itching
and infection.

AFIB – TYPES, CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, AND MANAGEMENT

Atrial fibrillation (Afib) occurs when the usually stable and regular electrical
impulses in the heart’s upper chambers (atria) begin firing chaotically, causing
them to quiver or twitch (fibrillate). This can cause blood accumulation and
clotting in the atria. These clots can reach the lungs through the blood vessels
and cause pulmonary embolism or can reach the brain, resulting in a stroke.
Let’s look at the forms, signs, and causes of Afib and its treatment options:
Types of atrial fibrillation Afib can be classified as one or more of these:
First-diagnosed Afib: Regardless of symptoms or the number or length of
episodes, this refers to individuals diagnosed for the first time with Afib.
Asymptomatic Afib: This condition is also called silent Afib, given the lack of
signs or symptoms. A random electrocardiogram (ECG) could reveal asymptomatic
atrial fibrillation. Paroxysmal Afib: Two or more episodes of the conditions
that spontaneously resolve within a week are categorized as paroxysmal Afib.
Persistent Afib: This refers to two or more episodes of atrial fibrillation that
last seven days or more. Long-term persistent Afib: If the condition persists
for more than a year, it is referred to as long-term persistent Afib. Permanent
Afib: This is a chronic condition that cannot be managed using common treatment
options.

HOW TO REDUCE SUGAR INTAKE AND MANAGE BLOOD SUGAR

It is a known fact that too much sugar can be devastating for your health. When
blood sugar is high, the body produces more insulin, which can lead to several
health complications, including prediabetes and diabetes. So, you must cut down
on sugar. Choosing healthy snacks and increasing fiber and probiotic intake can
help. Moreover, regular exercise is essential. Here are a few tips to lower
sugar intake and manage blood sugar levels naturally. Avoid carbohydrates A high
intake of carbohydrates has a substantial impact on blood sugar levels. The body
breaks down carbohydrates into sugars like glucose, which enters the blood.
While the body requires glucose for energy, an excess can be harmful. As the
amount of glucose increases, so does the amount of insulin produced by the body,
leading to a greater risk of lifestyle disorders. Some foods with an abundance
of carbs to stay away from are potato chips and donuts. Control your portion
size If you are dealing with frequent blood sugar spikes, monitoring portion
size can help. When you eat a large meal, blood glucose increases suddenly. To
avoid this, eat smaller meals. You can opt for five to six small meals per day
instead of two or three large ones.

11 MANAGEMENT OPTIONS TO KEEP ANXIETY AT BAY

People with anxiety disorders regularly and excessively experience fear and
panic in everyday situations. If unchecked, anxiety can impair normal
functioning and degrade the quality of life. One must consult a health expert if
anxiety is affecting their social life. But first, ensure that any physical
health issues are ruled out before consulting them. Most individuals with
anxiety disorders need medication or therapy, but coping strategies and
lifestyle decisions can also be helpful. Stop and take a breath When you
experience an anxiety episode, take a moment to think about what is making you
feel uneasy. Usual anxiety symptoms include concerns about a recent or distant
event. For example, you can worry that something wrong will happen to you in the
future. Or, you can still be upset about something that has already happened in
the past. But, whatever your concerns, most anxiety issues stem from not
focusing on the present. The next time you feel nervous and get distracted from
the present moment, sit down and take some deep breaths to reclaim your
composure. You can regain balance and return to the present moment by pausing
and taking a few deep breaths. If you have the time, consider advancing this
practice by experimenting with breathing techniques.

BREAST CANCER – CAUSES, TYPES, AND MANAGEMENT

Cancer that originates in the breast tissue is called breast cancer. It is the
second most common cancer among women in the country. The condition is seen in
women more than men. Fortunately, advancements in screening and breast cancer
treatment have enabled dramatic improvements in survival rates over the years.
The symptoms include changes in the texture and shape of the nipples, discharge
from the nipples, and a lump in the breast.  Read on to learn the causes, types,
and management options of breast cancer.  Causes of breast cancer Breast cancer
occurs when abnormal breast cells divide and multiply more rapidly than healthy
cells. These abnormal cells accumulate to form a lump or mass. Doctors have not
been able to know the exact cause of breast cancer. However, multiple factors
can trigger the chances of developing the disease, and they include: Family
history and genetics The risk increases if you have parents or close relatives
who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Having gene mutations such as BRCA1
and BRCA2, which are passed down from parents to children, also increases the
risk. Age The risk of breast cancer increases with advancing age.  Gender The
risk of developing breast cancer is higher in women than in men.   Personal
history of breast conditions The risk increases when an earlier biopsy has
indicated atypical hyperplasia of the breast or lobular carcinoma in situ or if
cancer has been detected in one breast.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Chronic kidney disease   occurs when there is a gradual failure of kidney
function due to illnesses, genetics, etc. The kidneys’ main role is to filter
waste matter and flush out excess bodily fluids, but advanced kidney failure
causes fluids, electrolytes, and waste to build up in the body. Various factors
must be understood to manage the condition, including the causes, symptoms,
prevention tips, and more. Read on to learn more about chronic kidney disease.
Causes of chronic kidney disease The main causes of chronic kidney disease are
as follows: Diabetes When the body’s sugar levels are too high and become
unmanageable, bodily organs stop functioning as normal. The first to be affected
are the kidneys, leading to diabetes, which, in turn, affects the nerves, eyes,
and heart.   High blood pressure This is when blood pressure against the walls
of the blood vessels increases, and can lead to chronic kidney disease, heart
attacks, and strokes. Hence, chronic kidney disease can also be caused by
uncontrolled high blood pressure.   Genetics Chronic kidney disease can also be
passed down through the genes. Therefore if someone in your close family has the
condition, it is likely to be passed down to you.   Autoimmune disease Lupus
nephritis is an autoimmune disease that causes swelling of the small blood
vessels, which are responsible for flushing waste out of the kidneys.  Birth
disorder Sometimes, certain malfunctions of the kidneys develop in the mother’s
womb and can cause infections and kidney damage later on in the person’s life.  
Other causes Kidney stones or tumors can cause kidney damage or failure if not
treated in time.  Glomerulonephritis It is a group of diseases that can cause
inflammation in the filtering segments of the kidneys.

HAVE THESE 14 FOODS TO MANAGE MACULAR DEGENERATION

Macular degeneration is an eye condition that causes changes in the macula,
leading to vision loss. Though there is no cure for this condition, following an
eye-healthy meal plan is important in managing complications like vision loss. A
nutritional regime for age-related macular degeneration should include healthy
amounts of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Some foods that contain
eye-healthy vitamins that help manage symptoms of macular degeneration are
listed below. Macular degeneration Age-related macular degeneration is a primary
cause of vision loss among people aged 55 years and above. The condition refers
to the deterioration of the central part of the retina called the macula.
Symptoms include blurry vision, blind spots, difficulty recognizing faces,
visual distortions, and more. Studies indicate that nearly 20 million people in
the country live with some form of age-related macular degeneration. This
condition occurs in two forms- the dry and the wet form. The dry type occurs
when the macula gets thinner with age. This condition gradually progresses over
the years. The dry form can advance into the wet type when abnormal blood
vessels develop in the back of the eye and harm the macula. The wet type of AMD
usually accelerates vision loss. Leafy green veggies Dark-green, leafy
vegetables are rich in beta-carotene and carotenoids such as lutein and
zeaxanthin.
