10 Foods High in Omega-3s

Naturally fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines, and albacore tuna are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These are “good” fats that help keep your heart healthy. They may also help keep your brain sharp, especially as you get older. The American Heart Association suggests eating two servings of fatty fish a week. A serving is 3 ounces — about the size of a deck of cards. Try it baked, grilled, or poached.

The Most Common Stroke Symptoms

Medical-SymbolIf you have symptoms of a stroke, call 911 or other emergency services right away. General symptoms of a stroke include:


  • Sudden numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of movement in your face, arm, or leg, especially on only one side of your body.
  • Sudden vision changes.
  • Sudden trouble speaking.
  • Sudden confusion or trouble understanding simple statements.
  • Sudden problems with walking or balance.
  • A sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches.
Symptoms can vary depending on whether the stroke is caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke), where the stroke occurs in the brain, and how bad it is.


A stroke usually happens
suddenly but may occur over hours. For example, you may have mild
weakness at first. Over time, you may not be able to move the arm and
leg on one side of your body.

Treating Male Urinary Incontinence: Kegel Exercises

Men Incontinence Male urinary incontinence is both preventable and manageable. Kegel exercises can help you take control of your leaky bladder.




If you practice Kegel
exercises (also called pelvic floor exercises) for five minutes, two or
three times daily, you will likely see significant improvement in your
ability to control urinary leakage.  Another bonus: Kegel exercises can
also help you have more intense orgasms, and improve erections.





What Are Kegel Exercises for Men?




Kegels are exercises that help you zero in on and strengthen muscles below the bladder that help control urination.




In men, urinary
incontinence can be caused by a weak urinary sphincter that may result
from surgery for prostate cancer, an overactive bladder, or a bladder
that doesn’t contract. Kegel exercises can help you improve — or in some
cases completely regain — bladder control.

Common symptoms of diabetes include:
  • Excessive thirst and appetite
  • Increased urination (sometimes as often as every hour)
  • Unusual weight loss or gain
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea, perhaps vomiting
  • Blurred vision
  • In women, frequent vaginal infections
  • In men and women, yeast infections
  • Dry mouth
  • Slow-healing sores or cuts
