Treatment of Blood Under a Fingernail

Everyone at some point in their life pinches or smashes their fingertip under or between something. It's just a part of life (ouch)!! If it were not for the fingernail, the injuries would probably heal within a few days like a common bruise and have no lasting effect or pain. However, because the fingertips are highly vascular, minor trauma, such as a crushing injury or a blow to the fingertip will cause them to easily bleed underneath the fingernail. Your skin, and the anatomy of the fingernail, naturally seals that area below the nail and does not allow the blood to drain. The blood therefore pools in the nail bed, causing an increase in pressure and intense throbbing pain. This is how the fingernail becomes darkened, and you can often literally feel throbbing pain to your injury, with each heartbeat.

Treatment and Expectations: Immediate treatment includes ice and elevation of the limb to minimize the swelling of the injury. Sounds easy you say? Well read on! The next part is not for the faint at heart.

If the pool of blood under the nail is painful and you can feel a throbbing sensation (your pulse), then relief can only be achieved by actually releasing the pressure. This can be done by creating a hole in the top of the fingernail itself, and allowing the blood to drain. Now this may sound like the last thing you want to do to an already painful finger, but if you get in the car and drive to an Urgent Care center, this is exactly what they would do. The following section describes two basic ways to painlessly achieve this, one by drilling a hole, and one by burning a hole. Neither way is any more painful than the other, and both are very easy to do.

One way to do it: The hole can be made with a jeweler's drill (a really small drill bit that you can twist by hand), or an 18 gauge syringe type needle. Clean the top of the nail off with alcohol and begin drilling the hole directly over the largest and darkest part of the blood pool. Use a quick twisting motion of the needle or drill with very little pressure. You won't feel any additional pain because the nail has no nerves in it. When you get through the nail, blood will spurt out of the hole, often with surprising force, and relief will be instantaneous. You can also try to gently squeeze out any remaining blood from the hole.

The fastest and best way to do it: The other method involves melting a hole right through the nail. Although it sounds horrifying, in my experience, it is easier, faster, less traumatic and more sterile since it cauterizes and kills bacteria with the heat. To begin, first straighten a small paperclip. Then holding it with a pair of glove or pliers, heat the paperclip in a flame until it gets red hot, and then poke a hole in the nail. You really should not have to push the paperclip, as it will melt through by itself. Apply just a little pressure, right over the darkest spot, and continue until you feel a little pop, or blood is released. You want to do this procedure quickly enough so that you won't have to reheat the paperclip again to finish the job. When you get through the nail, blood will spurt out of the hole, often with surprising force, and relief will be instantaneous. You can also try to gently squeeze out any remaining blood from the hole.

Whichever method you choose, you don't want to go deeper than about 1/16 in. (2mm) below the nail. (Don't stress about this, just estimate it with your good judgment and get it over with!) After your done, soak in some Hydrogen Peroxide solution, repeat the soaks three times a day. This is to prevent a clot from forming and causing pressure to build up again. You might have to squeeze once or twice again, but usually, the first time does it.

When to seek professional medical attention:

-Signs and symptoms of infection. -You lose any movement or range of motion in the body part as a result of the trauma. -The injury appears to be worse than a simple bloody fingernail. -When in doubt.

Foods To Be Avoided For High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure if left unchecked results in increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and leads to target organ damage such as LVH, retinal changes and vascular changes. The main objective in the management of hypertension is prevention of target organ damage and reduction of cardiovascular risk. The management requires a multi-prolonged approach. Although it is widely accepted that drug therapy is essential for optimal Blood pressure control, it should not be forgotten that non-pharmocological measures are also important in the management of hypertension.

What are the foods to be avoided in high blood pressure? This is very common question my patients often ask me. On one hand, it is exceedingly complicated and complex and has been the continued focus of research by doctors and physicians. On the other hand, the vast majority of dietary recommendations for hypertension have resemblance and similarities to general healthy diet recommendations.

Following Foods should be avoided if you have High blood pressure:

1. Alcohol

The association between alcohol and high blood pressure is well documented both in population and clinical studies. An Alcohol intake of about 80 g/day (Equivalent to four pints of beer) has been shown to raise Blood pressure particularly in patients of hypertension. Blood pressure tends to fall when alcohol is stopped or reduced and remains low in patients who continue to abstain. Patients with hypertension should avoid Alcohol. As alcohol can raise blood pressure directly, is also an important factor in damaging walls of blood vessels, which can elevate the blood pressure further and make it more difficult to treat, while at the same time increasing the risk of complications. Limit consumption of Alcohol to no more than two drinks per day in most men and one drink per day in women and lightweight men.

2. Salt

A restriction in dietary sodium intake can reduce the incidence of hypertension. Studies have shown that there is a clear relationship between dietary salt intake and Blood pressure and people who consume less salt have a smaller rise in Blood pressure with advancing age. Salt restriction to about 100mmol/day (2.4 gm sodium or 6 gm sodium chloride) has been shown to produce a significant reduction in systolic Blood pressure to about 8-14 mm Hg in several randomized placebo-controlled studies. In some people, eating too much salt can make blood pressure much worse and In other cases the same salt consumption may have no effect.

More salt intake will result in more retention of fluid by kidneys and this will lead to more pre-load on heart, that will result in more blood pressure. You should avoid salt in your diet if you really want to control your blood pressure. If you are already a patient of hypertension, then reduce salt in your diet as it just accentuates the problem. You can lower your blood pressure to a great extent if you reduce salt consumption in your diet. You should not have more than 6 grams (100mmol/day) of salt per day. Pizza, canned foods, frozen diners, broths, canned soups and salad dressings have high sodium so try to avoid these foods. If you are non-vegetarian then make sure you are including white meat like chicken and fish rather than red meat in your diet.

3. Fats

Food that is rich in fats should be avoided. Foods High in Fat are as follows:

Fats and oils (like margarine, vegetable oils, butter, lard, salt pork, meat drippings, gravy, and fat back)

Cream, ice cream, Whole milk, 2% milk.

Most pies, pastries, cakes.

Most cheeses (like cream cheese, cheddar, American)

Many snack foods (like nuts and chips)

Fatty meats (like corned beef, regular ground beef, ribs, sausage, hot dogs, bacon, bologna, salami,)

Fried foods (like French fries and fried chicken)

Most cookies contain high fat content

Many fast foods are also rich in fats

Saturated fats are not good for heart and blood vessels. Low density lipoprotein LDL is main factor which causes thickening of blood vessels so causing extra strain on blood vessels in patients of high blood pressure. The balanced high blood pressure diet should include mild amounts of saturated and trans-fats (red meat, fast food), and moderate amounts of other fats (olive oil and canola oil).

4- Caffeine Intake: The evidence from the literature is rather conflicting and the effects of caffeine seem to depend on multiple variables such as daily dose, preexisting Blood pressure and coffee drinking habits. The ingestion of 250mg of caffeine has been shown to cause an increase in systolic blood pressure ranging from 6mm of Hg in normal individuals to 10 mm Hg in patients with hypertension and an increase in diastolic blood pressure of 5 mm Hg in normal individuals to 8.5 mm Hg in patients of hypertension.

Food That Lowers Blood Glucose

Glucose present in the blood is the result of ingesting foods that release glucose from the gastrointestinal tract to the circulation. During starvation, the body -mainly the liver- released amounts of glucose are just sufficient to keep glucose levels in the blood within the normal range.

Physiologically under normal conditions, Insulin is secreted in response to glucose stimulation of the beta-cells of the pancreas. To lower blood glucose, we have to either reduce the intake of high glucose releasing foods, or stimulate the pancreas to secrete more insulin.

Sometimes the pancreas B-cells ability to secrete Insulin is partially or completely devastated leading to none insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) -type 2-, or Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus(IDDM) -type l-, respectively.

The other condition that may elevate blood glucose is what is known as insulin-resistance, iea reduced response of the body cells to the effects of insulin resulting in reduced cell uptake of glucose and causing the level of glucose in the blood to rise.

Since insulin effect is mediated through cell receptors, hence any agent that modulate receptors so that their response to insulin is enhanced, will result in enhancing glucose uptake by the cells and lowering its blood level (actually this the way many oral hypo-glycemic drugs act).

Many plants act this way of modulating cell receptors,consequently the traditionally used herbs or foods by diabetics are candidates for modulating insulin receptors.

There are foods that affect the blood glucose loading capacity of some other foods that release glucose into circulation quickly ie these foods reduce the Glycemic Index of some other foods by either:

1- Slowing the gastric emptying (decreased motility of the gastro- intestinal tract) and thus slowing the rate at which glucose is delivered to the circulation.

2- Holding the glucose(with other molecules) within a gel consistency these foods form with water and also slow the rate of glucose delivery to the circulation.

To summarise, foods that lower blood glucose may act through:

1- Increasing the ability of pancreas cells to secrete insulin in response to glucose stimulation.

2- Modulating the body cell receptors of insulin. Onions, garlic,mustard and other S containing plants probably act here.

3- Decreasing insulin inactivation. Onions, garlic probably act here.

4- Reducing the Glycemic Index of some foods. Fenugreek may act here.

Magnesium and High Blood Pressure - A Real Issue!

The words of Linus Pauling enforces the seriousness of this article on Magnesium and high blood pressure. Twice a Nobel Prize winner, he once said, "You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency."

How often have you read that statement? 10 times, 50 times, 100 times? But who's taking it to" heart"!

Do we think as time moves on, somehow, somewhere, someone will invent a synthetic substance compatible with the make-up and wonderful design of the living cell, or replenish the soils around the globe with all the minerals that our bodies need?

Linus Pauling uttered those words years ago. Has anything changed? This article is a reminder that it hasn't and that there is a link between low magnesium and high blood pressure.

You may find the information timely in your case because the Western World is suffering a crisis and the rest of the nations are catching up. High blood pressure, coronary heart disease and heart attack are almost reaching epidemic proportions. Some would argue that they have already.

Am I exaggerating? Certainly not! This is a real problem that touches almost everyone and its high time we sat up and took notice. Contrary to popular believe we need as much as 420mg of magnesium a day for men and 320mg for women, but some of us are not even getting half that amount.

Taking charge of your own health will serve as a protection, if you are careful not be distracted by all the misleading noise out there that gives high blood pressure a twist to its label "the silent killer". What will it cost us to stop and listen to that wee, small voice trying to be heard amongst all the clatter, understand what's being said and take action? A little of our time and the price of a few hamburgers each month compared to the rising cost of medical treatment or our very lives if we fail to act soon enough.

Magnesium and High Blood Pressure - The Missing Link?

People with hypertension should be familiar with sodium and potassium, the two most talked about minerals in connection with the condition. They interact with each other, helping regulate, several systems in our bodies which include blood pressure and hydration. If we get the balance wrong then a chain reaction of events can throw our systems into chaos. The irony is, we are not juggling with all the balls needed in this nutritional balancing act.

Magnesium is also a very important component, but the fact is, its importance has been dampened down. A few dedicated scientists and doctors are totally frustrated by the sheer apathy they receive when trying to convince not only the individual, but whole nations to pay attention to this most important but ignored nutrient. Paul Mason is a fine example. He has shown over and over again with the proof of many scientific trials that magnesium is a, if not the missing link to heart disease and control of high blood pressure.

Magnesium and High Blood Pressure - Examples of how Magnesium Affects Blood Pressure

Syndrome X is a complication of several symptoms all related to one another. Magnesium is essential for calcium and potassium assimilation. Muscles in the arterial walls will contract If the calcium level within the cell is too high, whereas magnesium causes these muscles to dilate. Doctors call it "Nature's Calcium blocker" because it does the same job that Calcium channel antagonists do, modulate vascular tone. It also stimulates nitric oxide, a mechanism at work when we exercise, helping to relax and dilate blood vessels.

High levels of calcium but low levels of magnesium can cause persons to become obese especially
concentrating most of the weight gain around the stomach. These people are highly likely to develop high blood pressure, diabetes and insulin secretion, known factors contributing to heart attack.

Magnesium and High Blood pressure - Other Causes of Magnesium Deficiency

There is evidence to suggest that the lack of Vitamin D may be a root cause of magnesium deficiency. As we smear on the uv sun block we are in effect hampering the production of vitamin D which is manufactured from sunlight. Most foods contain very little apart from fish. Fish oil capsules are a popular way of making sure we get our vitamin d as well as other nutrients like omega 3.

The continued use of diuretics is another factor causing depletion starting with the wasting of potassium which leads to the loss of magnesium. Adding to the chaos, too much calcium and age related factors involving absorption of minerals are known to cause low magnesium levels.

Magnesium and High Blood Pressure - Finding a Source

Magnesium is missing or almost missing from bottled water which health-conscious people are habitually drinking to avoid the risk of contaminants such as heavy metals and chlorine. At the most you will only find about 30% of magnesium RDA in bottled water, making it a less than adequate source. The question is, from where do we get the other 70%.

There are a few food sources, like pumpkin seed, soy beans, oat bran or spinach, however it can be rather tiring and frustrating having to continuously work out which minerals and how much each food item contains. Apart from that, as I noted previously, the soils are depleted of these vital nutrients, so the chances of getting enough from these foods will vary depending where the produce is coming from.

A wise and easier choice would be to supplement the diet with a balanced mineral, trace mineral and vitamin solution, because although there is an abundance of good quality potassium, calcium, vitamin d, and magnesium supplements on the market, caution must be exercised when deciding how much to take of each one in conjunction to the effect on the others. And remember, they have to be easily absorbed into the intestines to bring maximum benefits.

Whether you suffer from cardiovascular disease, or desire to stay healthy and guard against these death dealing illnesses, give your body all the nutrients it needs to work efficiently. This rule of nature not only applies to magnesium and high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease or heart disease but, as Linus Paulus said, "....every sickness, every disease and every ailment...."

Why Does Blood Pressure Raise at Night?

The heart pumps blood to all parts of the body and this blood is carried throughout the body via the arteries. The force with which the heart pumps the blood into the arteries is known as blood pressure. While there is no particular cause of blood pressure that has as yet been determined as a definite ground for the disease to develop, there are a number of factors which all add up to lead to the culmination of the condition.

When a specific cause is not known, the illness is referred to as primary high blood pressure. Many a time high blood pressure arises out of complications due to some other medical problem in such context it is called secondary high blood pressure.

Blood pressure alters throughout the day. Under normal circumstances, blood pressure is lowest while the person sleeps and higher during the daytime when a host of activities are being carried out.

When a person wakes up, the blood pressure is higher than normal. This is so because when the person gets up from a horizontal position, which is from lying down, a surge of adrenaline goes straight to the head and this increases the heart rate which in turn increases the blood pressure. While there can be minute to minute fluctuations in blood pressure, on an average most people are assumed to have low blood pressure at night.

Then why is it that sometimes your blood pressure is much higher at nigh than what it is during the day?

For this, researchers have found a variety of reasons.

One of the basic reasons for a spike in blood pressure levels at night is due to night-time noises which can range from traffic on the roads, to airplanes flying over-head to stray animals making a noise. These disturbances can cause the level of blood pressure to rise noticeably. Researchers have found that the rise in blood pressure is linked to the loudness level of the noise.

The decibel level of the noise source is the key factor in determining what kind of effect the noise has on the blood pressure of the listener. For some people, the noise of their partner snoring can cause enough of a disturbance to cause a fluctuation in their levels of blood pressure.

Blood pressure levels have also been linked to the weather and research has proven that during the daytime in hot weather the blood pressure falls but there is a marked increase in the level of systolic blood pressure at night. There has also been a recent study that has managed to find a link between the Restless Leg Syndrome and the development of cardiovascular disease through an increase in the level of blood pressure in people at night.

This is especially true in the case of elderly people. The symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome are basically in the form of an almost involuntary and unconscious movement of the legs at a period of every twenty to forty seconds. These movements are most pronounced at night as the person is not comfortable being still and at rest. These movements lead to a marked increase in the level of blood pressure, and as they are most common during the nighttime, before the person manages to fall asleep, there is a definite increase in the person's blood pressure at night.

Those are only a few strategies of many to help you lower and even successfully take control of your high blood pressure.

More simple yet powerful strategies and step-by-step instructions about what to do and how to do it right, you can find in a special report by Samuel Baron "Natural Treatment For Hypertension".

Fasting Blood Sugar and Other Glucose Tests

Fasting blood sugar or FBS is a test for the levels of glucose in blood. Glucose is the major monosaccharide in blood. Its measurement is vital to the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Fasting, because the patient has to fast for 8-12 hours before testing. Fasting is crucial to come up with reliable laboratory results and consequently - diagnosis.

How is Fasting Blood Sugar performed?

1. When the test is ordered, the patient should contact the health worker responsible in the collection of the specimen.

2. Proper instructions are given. Instructions may vary, if there are other tests simultaneously done with FBS. Examples are: If it is done with triglyceride test, fasting would be 12-14 hours. If electrolyte is performed, water may not be permitted.

3. Fasting usually starts after the evening meal. 7 pm to 7 am. Nothing is eaten; not even candy, coffee, tea or any beverage.

4. Before 7 am, the patient should already be in the laboratory.

5. Blood then is extracted and properly labeled and encoded.

6. The patient can eat after the blood extraction.

7. The fasting hours should not be shortened or prolonged.

Other tests that can be performed with glucose in the diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are:
1. 2 -hour post prandial test (2-HPPT)

This is the most sensitive parameter in diagnosing diabetes mellitus. It is because two hours after a meal (post prandially), glucose levels in normal persons will go back to normal.

Normal blood glucose levels in adult:

Orthotoulidine method = 60-110 mg/dL
Nelson-Somogyi method = 80-120 mg/dL

2. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

The patient ingests a glucose load/challenge or solution. Then timed specimens are collected at 30 minutes or one-hour intervals. The results are compared to standard results for normal patients.

3. Intravenous Glucose Tolerance Test (IGTT)

This is the same as OGTT. The difference is that the glucose load is injected intravenously. Persons who have gastrointestinal problems employ IGTT. Obtained results are interpreted just like OGTT.

4. HbA1C test (Hemoglobin A1C).

This test is a measure of the patient's compliance to his drug treatment. If the patient is dutifully taking in his medicine, the obtained result would be normal. If the patient is not complying with his medications, then the result is elevated.

It is good that people become aware of these different tests, so that they would be able to monitor their glucose levels or that of diabetic relatives and friends.

High Blood Pressure - Critical Facts About a Silent Killer, Part I

High blood pressure (hypertension) is indeed a silent killer. In a significaare no symptoms until you end up with a stroke, heart attack, eye disent number of cases there ase which may lead to blindness, or even chronic kidney disease leading to dialysis. Know the Critical Facts. Do you know what your blood pressure is or even what your creatinine is? High blood pressure can be present for years without any signs or symptoms.

What is Normal Blood pressure?

Normal blood pressure is considered less than 130/80. The top number is referred to as the systolic pressure (when the heart pumps) and the bottom number is referred to as the diastolic pressure (when the heart relaxes). Regardless of which number is elevated, each carries the same risk for bad outcomes.

Who is at risk for High Blood Pressure?

There are several major risk factors: Being obese or over your ideal body weight; high stress lifestyle; eating a diet high in sodium or salt, a lifestyle which lacks exercise, chronic (ongoing) kidney disease, and a family history of high blood pressure.

Bad Effects of High Blood Pressure

1. Damage to the retina (back of the eyeball) which can lead to decreased vision or even blindness.

2. Stroke

Stroke may result from damage to blood vessels in the brain. These blood vessels can burst and cause death.

3. Kidney damage leading to chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease can lead to such a significant loss of kidney function (ESRD or End Stage Renal Disease) that one may need dialysis. High blood pressure is the number two reason why patients require dialysis in the United States. Diabetes is the number one cause. Early signs of kidney damage may be manifested as a small amount of protein in the urine or slight elevation of the blood level of creatinine. The creatinine level in the blood is a major way by which we measure the kidney function. The higher the level the worse the function. The kidney function (sometimes referred to as the GFR) can be calculated using an individual's age, sex, race and weight. Another sign may be blood in the urine (hematuria).

4. Enlarged heart

If blood pressure remains uncontrolled, the heart has to pump against these high pressures and become enlarged. The heart can be become so enlarged that this ballooning process may become irreversible. Heart failure may result. There is a high death (mortality) rate amongst people with heart failure.

5. Aneurysms

An aneurysm is a ballooning or bulge in a blood vessel (an artery). An aneurysm can burst and can cause death or stroke. These aneurysms can be in the brain, abdomen, chest, and other parts of the body.

Symptoms

Although in a significant number of cases there are no symptoms, here are some which some persons might experience: headache, hearing or feeling your pulse in your head, feeling tired, nausea, dizziness, chest pain or even tightness, and poor exercise tolerance.

Free Radical Production

High blood pressure (just like diabetes and obesity) can cause increased production of free radicals. Free radicals are damaging particles produced in your body by or as a result of certain disease states. Taking antioxidants (neutralizers of free radicals) can place the body in a better position to fight disease states and strengthen the immune system.

Blood in the Stool: Explanation of Various Terms for Gastrointestinal Bleeding or Hemorrhage

Gastrointestinal bleeding:

Bleeding in the GI tract is very common. It should not be ignored because of its potential serious causes and life threatening results. Understanding basic terms and definitions used in GI bleeding will make it easier for you to recognize GI bleeding in yourself or a family member, communicate more clearly to your doctor about your symptoms, and search more effectively and accurately for information. You will also be a more educated and effective advocate for yourself so that the cause can be diagnosed and treated accurately and in a timely manner.

Blood in the stool:

Blood in the stool or gastrointestinal tract may take various forms or appearances depending on where it is coming from and how brisk the bleeding. There are common medical terms and definitions for blood in the gastrointestinal tract or stool that may not be familiar to the lay public but can be helpful to know if you or a family member experience gastrointestinal bleeding.

Hematemesis is vomiting blood:

Red hematemesis is vomiting red blood. Coffee ground's hematemesis is vomiting blood altered by stomach juices.

Blood in the stomach is quite nauseating usually resulting in vomiting. Vomiting blood is called hematemesis. It can be bright red if occurring briefly after the blood enters the stomach or when the bleeding is brisk. Stomach acid and digestive juices alter any blood that remains in the stomach. If the altered blood is vomited, it usually appears like old coffee grounds, hence the term "coffee grounds like" hematemesis. Blood may originate from the stomach, be swallowed, or regurgitated from the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine just after the stomach.

Melena and blood as a very potent laxative:

If blood in the stomach is not vomited completely the altered blood passes into the intestine where it usually triggers diarrhea. However, the diarrhea is usually black, tarry and foul smelling. This is termed melena or melenic stool. Though many doctors mistakenly refer to such stool as melanotic that is an incorrect term. Melanotic refers to containing melanin, the dark skin pigment present in moles and the malignant skin cancer, melanoma. Melena or melenic stools indicate an upper gastrointestinal tract bleed or source of blood because it has been altered by digestive juices only present in the stomach and upper small intestine. Such bleeding usually originates from a site reachable by an upper scope though occasionally the site is beyond the reach of such a gastroscope.

Lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage and rectal bleeding:

Red blood passed rectally usually indicates the source of bleeding is in the lower colon or rectum, or lower GI bleed, except in massive hemorrhage from the upper tract. Bright red blood on toilet paper or dripping in the toilet bowl is usually from the anus or rectum, most commonly from hemorrhoids or an anal fissure, though can occur with rectal cancer.

Bloody diarrhea and colitis:

Bloody diarrhea, often with mucus, is typical of colitis. Colitis is inflammation of the colon or large intestine from any of a number of causes that may include infection, poor blood flow to the intestine (ischemia) and the chronic inflammatory bowel diseases ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Occult blood in the stool:

It takes about 50-100 ml blood to turn the stool black or melenic. Less than 2 cups of bleeding is therefore not usually visibly detectable and is termed occult blood in the stool. Various chemical tests for occult blood in the stool exist that can be done on evacuated stool or stool obtained by a gloved finger exam by a doctor. Occult blood in the stool is concerning for cancer and necessitates an evaluation for the cause.

Green Tea and Blood Pressure - How to Use Green Tea To Lower Your High Blood Pressure Symptoms

Green tea has been shown to greatly lower high blood pressure symptoms. This article will discuss how green tea manages to do this and discuss some of the scientific studies conducted to make this finding.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a very common medical ailment suffered by people worldwide. Research has shown that drinking green tea can actually significantly lower blood pressure symptoms. One of the most common forms of heart disease and illness is having a high blood pressure. Alarmingly, high blood pressure affects about 20 percent of the world's population.

There are many serious and life-threatening conditions that are caused by having high blood pressure which include kidney failure, heart disease and also strokes. High blood pressure is not an insignificant matter and if left unchecked can even be fatal.

Extensive research has uncovered that simply drinking half a delicious cup of green tea on a daily basis can significantly reduce high blood pressure symptoms by more than half. This study was undertaken by Chinese people who regularly drink green tea. Unlike us in western society, people in Asia have known about the powerful medicinal health benefits of green tea for thousands of years.

The good news is that research has also shown that people in the western world are now reducing their high blood pressure symptoms much the same way as people have been in China for years.

Some people are not sure if they have high blood pressure. Some people are also not sure what the cause is of high blood pressure symptoms to occur in the first place. High blood pressure triggers inlclude having a poor diet, having too much stress and not exercising enough. Unfortunately, your genetic makeup can also be a trigger for high blood pressure symptoms.

The good news is that green tea can significantly reduce high blood pressure symptoms. Studies have been conducted on mice who were exposed to stress triggers. Mice who were fed green tea did not result in suffering from hypertension. Additionally, a significant decrease in high blood pressure symptoms has also been shown from studies conducted on around 20,000 men and women who suffer from hypertension who started making green tea a part of their daily regime.

How Does Green Tea Alleviate High Blood Pressure Symptoms?

It's simple really. Green tea enables blood vessels to relax. It is important to bear in mind though that some green tea blends do contain caffeine so if you should be on a caffeine-free diet then a decaffeinated green tea product may be better for you.

Conclusive findings all over the world are starting to reveal the power of green tea in reducing hypertension high blood pressure symptoms. Simply adding green tea to your daily regime can greatly reduce your high blood pressure hypertension symptoms plus also help arm your system against other harmful ailments and conditions.

Fresh Hot Cocoa - More Effective in Reducing High Blood Pressure Than Green and Black Teas

Just recently, a wave of enthusiasm towards green and black teas as heart healthy drinks has made these Oriental favorites into popular American drinks. But one treasure from ancient Americas stole the attention from these drinks--fresh hot cocoa. Which is the best of the three? Let us examine cocoa's properties.

Cocoa can reduce high blood pressure more effectively.
According to a recent research, cocoa stands a better chance at lowering blood pressure compared to black tea and green tea. It turns out that this rich, dark drink can produce results almost similar to laboratory-produced medications prescribed for blood pressure. With this effect, it is possible to reduce the odds of developing blood pressure-related illnesses. Disorders can be reduced by as much as 20% among regular fresh hot cocoa drinkers.

Cocoa drinks have more dynamic polyphenols than teas.
While both drinks have high levels of polyphenols (a type of antioxidant), dark chocolate possesses the more potent type.

Flavonoid content of cocoa plays a huge role in the reduction of blood pressure.
Dark, pure chocolate has more flavanoids than black tea or green teas. The flavonoid epicatechin which is found in dark chocolate can reduce the chances of cholesterol collecting in the blood vessels and of blood clotting. It is also known for its property to delay the immune response that leads to the clogging of the arteries.

Unless you are someone who hates chocolate (which is very unlikely), you would definitely love the news that very dark chocolate can do more good for you than you can ever imagine. So try to incorporate this into your diet and you will most likely decrease your chances of developing heart problems. You will increase the likelihood of reducing blood pressure-related problems. However, you should remember that despite these benefits, chocolate is still packed with calories, and the addition of this in your diet would mean a reduction of something else.

Menstrual Blood Clots - Should You Be Worried

Menstrual blood clots are a part of menstruation that rarely gets talked about. When menstruation gets talked about at all, other menstrual and premenstrual symptoms, like menstrual cramps and mood swings, are much more likely to get a mention.

Maybe that's because menstrual blood clots don't cause as much disruption or discomfort as a backache or bloating can.

Still, menstrual blood clots can be alarming, especially for young women who have just started menstruating.

So let's take a look at this often ignored menstrual symptom.

Should You Worry About Menstrual Blood Clots?

No necessarily. Menstrual blood clots are usually nothing to worry about. In fact, in most cases, they are perfectly normal. A few quarter-sized, or smaller, blood clots in your menstrual flow just mean your body's natural coagulation system is doing its job.

But, while menstrual blood clots aren't usually cause for concern, there are certain times when you might want to talk to your doctor about them.

When Should You Be Concerned About Menstrual Blood Clots

These are some of the signs that you should talk with your doctor about menstrual blood clots.

* You have been passing blood clots for more than a day.

* The blood clots are large, bigger than a quarter.

* You've never passed menstrual blood clots before, so having blood clots in your menstrual flow is an unusual occurrence for you. Such changes in your menstrual cycle could be a sign of a more serious medical condition.

So, menstrual blood clots are usually a normal part of some women's menstrual cycle. But it's important to know when menstrual blood clots are a cause for concern, and to talk to your doctor if you believe menstrual blood clots are a sign that you have a more serious condition.

Natural Remedies Help Reduce High Blood Pressure

Do you take prescription drugs for hypertension? If so, you may be interested to know that natural remedies help reduce high blood pressure better and more safely than prescription medications. There are many natural cures that work to eliminate hypertension, and they also help with other conditions such as high cholesterol and diabetes.

Why are prescription drugs risky? Most are synthetic, and can cause many side effects such as nausea, dizziness and headache. They only mask the symptoms, and do not treat the underlying cause. Using natural methods help reduce high blood pressure quickly, and they also treat the root cause of the problem.

You know that living with hypertension increases your risk of stroke, heart attack, and aneurysms. It is sometimes known as the "silent killer", because many people don't even realize they have high blood pressure! Here is some information you need to know to lead a healthy, long life.

Help Reduce High Blood Pressure

1. Change your diet - Add healthy fruits and vegetables, and cut down on processed foods, fried foods and reduce salt intake. Salt is one of the worst things you can eat when you have hypertension. Add bananas, celery, dark chocolate and 1 glass of red wine to your diet.

2. Practice deep breathing - Deep breathing, when done the right way, reduces stress and anxiety. This is very important for reducing blood pressure. Stress is one of the leading causes of hypertension.

3. Meditation - This is also relaxing and good for reducing and eliminating stress and anxiety. Meditation calms your nervous system and relaxes your muscles, which is important for good heart health.

4. Herbal remedies - Once you achieve a normal reading, herbal supplements will help maintain good blood pressure better than prescription drugs. They are also very effective for a host of other conditions such as high cholesterol and anxiety.

These are just a few suggestions that will help reduce high blood pressure. There are hundreds of other natural remedies that work well, and when combined they are very effective and can add years to your life! You will also feel better than you have in years.

Taking prescription drugs is risky, and can actually harm internal organs such as your liver. Why risk it, when natural remedies help reduce high blood pressure so effectively? Find out about the best guides and supplements for managing hypertension below - your life depends on it.

How to Lower a Blood Sugar "Spike"

What should you do when you have a "spike" of high blood sugar? Maybe you forgot or missed or didn't take enough of your meds or insulin injection. Maybe your insulin has gone bad. Or maybe you were naughty and binged -- even a little binge can cause a spike in blood sugar.

What is a spike in blood sugar and how would you know it?

You should always test your blood sugar two hours after meals or snacks. Anything over 140 mg/dl (7.5 mmol/l) at that time is high, but a "spike" is anything over 180 mg/dl (10 mmol/l).

What should you do? That depends on whether you are type 1 or type 2.

If you are type 1:

Anything above 250 mg/dl (14 mmol/l) requires at least testing for ketones.

(If you are newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes you really need to educate yourself on ketones. They are the toxic by-products of burning fat for energy instead of sugar. You can detect the presence of ketones with urine test strips.)

IF KETONES ARE PRESENT, DO NOT EXERCISE in an effort to try to lower your blood glucose level. You have ketones because insulin isn't present. That means the sugar cannot be metabolized. Worse than that, your body will burn fat for the energy to exercise and produce even more ketones.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER and don't eat anything. Call your doctor to find out whether you should take insulin now (which is likely) and how much. The doctor will want to know your blood sugar level and ketone strip reading. He or she may also want you to go to the hospital or clinic.

High ketones can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, or "DKA", symptomized by a flushed appearance,
dehydration, exhaustion, shock, and eventual unconsciousness. Severe DKA requires immediate
and expert medical care.

If your blood sugar is lower than 250 mg/dl but higher than 140 mg/dl (7.5 mmol/l), double-check whether it has been over two hours since you ate. If it has, check with your doctor as to whether and how much corrective insulin you should take. If it has not yet been two hours, drink a large glass of water and check your blood sugar again later.

If you are type 2:

There is such a thing as super-high blood glucose levels above 500-600 mg/dl (28-33 mmol/l) called the "hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state" (HHS). The symptoms begin similar to DKA. Such high levels can lead to coma and death.

Fortunately, this is not caused by a spike in blood sugars. HHS is a result of higher and higher blood sugar building up over time, at least over several days if not weeks. Regular testing -- even if done just once a day -- should reveal increasing high blood sugar levels long before they reach HHS.

Neither is DKA generally a concern for type 2 diabetics. They are usually able to produce some insulin and utilize enough of it to prevent fat-burning for energy and its ketone by-products.

If, however, your blood sugar spikes near 500-600 mg/dl, you should definitely call your doctor. He or she might well recommend you go to the hospital right away.

If your reading is above 350 mg/dl (19.5 mmol/l) two hours after eating, call the doctor. You may not have to go to the hospital, but corrective measures have to be taken under the doctor's direction and care.

If your blood sugar level is not so high as that but still a spike (above 180 mg/dl) two hours after eating, there are some things you should and should not do.

DO NOT EXERCISE, thinking you will burn the extra sugar off. You will more likely cause your liver to release extra glucose into the bloodstream and drive your levels higher, not lower.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER to help your kidneys and liver.

If spikes are frequent, be sure to check your blood glucose more often, before and after snacks and meals. Keep accurate records of the time, the amount of insulin if any, and what you ate. See if you can determine and prevent the causes of your blood sugar spikes.

Of course, if you've been naughty, there's no one to blame but yourself. Be good and avoid not only blood sugar spikes, but diabetes complications down the road.
