<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Stick with your
exercise plan, and it may help control diabetes-related nerve pain
(peripheral neuropathy). In one study, people who took a brisk 1-hour
walk on a treadmill four times a week slowed how quickly their nerve
damage worsened. The key is to make exercise a regular part of your
life. If you’re not active now, talk with your doctor to see what type
of exercise is right for you. <a href="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/tips-for-exercising-with-nerve-pain/">Read more...</a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Don’t let fear of bladder accidents keep you from an active life filled with work, friends, and family. Incontinence is not a
normal part of aging, nor is it something you just have to live with.
There are plenty of things you can do. The sooner you call your doctor,
the faster you can get treated.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">First Steps</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">It’s not easy to talk
about incontinence. That’s why women wait, on average, 6 years before
they get help. Take the first step and call your doctor. He might refer
you to a urologist, gynecologist, or urogynecologist who treats urinary
conditions. At your first visit, ask if your diet, health conditions, or
medications could be causing the problem.</span><br />

you’re suffering from incontinence, you’re likely to think of it as
being inconvenient and embarrassing, but we also need to think in terms
of our health. Having urine trapped against the skin can create many
problems, including skin irritation and infection. This is why
incontinence hygiene is important, whether you face incontinence, or
whether you care for a loved one who is afflicted with incontinence.</span> </span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: georgia,palatino; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">Read more: <a href="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/incontinence-hygiene-stay-comfortable-dry/" target="_blank">GoldenEraMart-Health-Junction</a></span><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: georgia,palatino; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: georgia,palatino; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"> </span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: georgia,palatino; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><a href="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/incontinence-hygiene-stay-comfortable-dry/" target="_blank"></a> </span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: georgia,palatino; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"> </span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: georgia,palatino; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"> </span></div>

risk of eye problems. Your blood sugar (glucose) levels may be high <br />
because your body can’t make or use insulin properly. Too much blood <br />
sugar can build up, damaging nerves and blood vessels in the body. When <br />
the damage happens in the blood vessels in the eyes, this can lead to <br />
vision loss or blindness. Anyone with diabetes is at risk, so it’s <br />
important to get routine eye exams.</span><br /><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Most people with
diabetes can enjoy some alcohol. Rules are the same as for everyone
else: one drink per day for women; two for men. But you need to know how
alcohol affects your blood sugar. A sugary drink might spike your blood
sugar. But if you drink on an empty stomach or take certain meds, your
levels could swing too low.</span><br />

The media was buzzing about <a href="http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/news/20140320/dietary-fats-q-a">recent research</a><br />
showing that people who eat less saturated fat tend to have the same <br />
rates of heart disease as people who eat higher amounts. So, does this <br />
mean “bring on the butter?” Not so fast. Even though some researchers <br />
now question the link between saturated fat and heart disease, that <br />
doesn’t mean saturated fat is completely off the hook.</span><a href="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Saturated-Fat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Saturated-Fat" border="0" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2028" height="166" src="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Saturated-Fat.jpg" width="200" /></a><br /><br />

fats). Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind: </span><br /><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"><a href="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/heart_attack.jpg"><img alt="heart_attack" class="wp-image-2000 size-thumbnail alignleft" src="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/heart_attack-150x150.jpg" /></a> </span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Stroke: Causes and Risk Factors</span></strong></div>
<div class="article_title" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">A stroke, sometimes
called a “brain attack,” happens when an artery to the brain becomes
blocked or ruptures. As a result, blood flow is cut off to a part of the
brain, depriving cells of oxygen and glucose from the blood supply. If
the cut-off is brief, brain cells may be stressed but able to recover.
But if cells are deprived for more than 3 or 4 minutes, they may die,
resulting in permanent damage to the brain. In some cases of stroke,
certain functions are lost, but other areas of the brain can learn to do
the tasks previously handled by the damaged area.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Two types of stroke exist:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"><i>Ischemic stroke: </i>About
80% of strokes are ischemic strokes. This type happens when a blood
vessel in the brain develops a clot that cuts off blood flow to cells.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"><i>Hemorrhagic stroke: </i>The
remaining 20% are hemorrhagic strokes, which happen when a weakened
blood vessel in the brain bursts. When the vessel bleeds or hemorrhages
suddenly, surrounding brain tissue can become damaged. Hemorrhagic
stroke is the most serious type of stroke. </span><strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;"> </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Risk Factors</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">How do you know if you
are at risk for having a stroke? There are two types of risk factors:
controllable and uncontrollable. Some stroke risk factors, such as high
blood pressure and smoking, can be controlled by medication or lifestyle
changes. Other risk factors, such as age and race, cannot be changed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">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.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Sudden numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of movement in your face, arm, or leg, especially on only one side of your body.</span></li>

Kegel exercises can help you take control of your leaky bladder.</span><br /><br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">If you practice Kegel <br />
exercises (also called pelvic floor exercises) for five minutes, two or <br />
three times daily, you will likely see significant improvement in your <br />
ability to control urinary leakage. Another bonus: Kegel exercises can <br />
also help you have more intense orgasms, and improve erections.</span><br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">What Are Kegel Exercises for Men?</span></strong><br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Kegels are exercises that help you zero in on and strengthen muscles below the bladder that help control urination.</span><br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">In men, urinary <br />
incontinence can be caused by a weak urinary sphincter that may result <br />
from surgery for prostate cancer, an overactive bladder, or a bladder <br />
that doesn’t contract. Kegel exercises can help you improve — or in some<br />
cases completely regain — bladder control.</span><br /><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">What Are the Symptoms of Diabetes? </span></strong><br />
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">People with
type 2 diabetes often do not have any symptoms. When symptoms do occur,
they are often ignored because they may not seem serious. Symptoms in
type 1 diabetes usually come on much more suddenly and are often severe.</span></div>
<div class="node">
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Common symptoms of diabetes include:</span></div>
<ul class="node">
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Excessive thirst and appetite</span></li>

fatty acids include EPA and DHA, found mostly in fish and seafood. <br />
Another type, ALA, is found in flaxseeds, leafy greens, and navy beans. <br />
Eating foods with fatty acids from either animals or plants helps keep <br />
your heart healthy. Even more impressive, they can actually reduce high <br />
triglycerides. It’s no surprise, then, that your doctor told you to eat <br />
foods with omega-3s as part of your plan.</span></div><div class="node"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 14px;">Need some new ways to include omega-3s in your menus?

<a href="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/shoes-and-diabetes-whats-on-your-feet-matters/diabetes-tool-box/" rel="attachment wp-att-993" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Diabetes Tool Box" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-993" height="144" src="http://goldeneramart-healthjunction.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Diabetes-Tool-Box-150x144.jpeg" width="150" /></a><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Cold
sweats, trembling hands, intense anxiety, a general sense of confusion —
no, it’s not the night before final exams. These are the signs of low
blood sugar or hypoglycemia, which can result from an insulin overdose, a
potentially dangerous complication of diabetes.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Hypoglycemia happens to
many people with diabetes. And it can sometimes be serious. Thankfully,
most episodes related to insulin are avoidable if you stick with a few
simple rules. WebMD takes a look at how to prevent and treat insulin </span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">When Insulin Works too Well</span></strong><br />
<br />
<div class="node">
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Insulin
stimulates the cells of the body to absorb sugar (glucose) out of the
blood. It also inhibits the production of glucose by the liver. In type 1
diabetes, the body does not make insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the body
is resistant to the insulin the body does make, and with time the
pancreas may make less insulin. </span></div>
<div class="node">
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">All people
with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin injections. Many people with
type 2 diabetes — those whose blood sugar can’t be controlled with oral
medication, diet, and exercise — take insulin injections.</span></div>
<div class="node">
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">There are several ways you can get too much insulin in your system and have a drop in your blood sugar:</span></div>
<ul class="node">
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">You inject too much insulin because you have difficulty reading the syringes or vials or are unfamiliar with a new product.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">You inject the right
amount of insulin but the wrong type. For instance, you normally take 30
units of long-acting and 10 units of short-acting insulin. Injecting 30
units of short-acting insulin is an easy mistake to make.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">You inject insulin, but
then didn’t eat. Short-acting insulin injections should be timed with
meals. Blood sugar rises after meals, but without eating, insulin lowers
blood sugar levels to a potentially dangerous level.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">You inject the right
amount of insulin but inject it into an arm or leg just before exercise.
Physical activity can lower blood sugar levels and also affect insulin
absorption: Don’t inject in an area affected by the exercise.</span></li>
</ul>
<strong><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Symptoms of an Insulin Overdose</span></strong><br />
<div class="node">
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">It doesn’t
matter how it happens. An insulin overdose always has the same effect:
low blood sugar levels, or hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia
include:</span></div>
<ul class="node">
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Anxiety</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Confusion</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Extreme hunger</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Fatigue</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Irritability</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Sweating or clammy skin</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Trembling hands</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="node">
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">If sugar levels continue to fall during an insulin overdose, serious complications — seizures and unconsciousness — can occur.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 16px;">Doctors<br />
may tell you to cut the fat, but not all fats are unhealthy. Omega-3 <br />
fatty acids may have far-reaching health benefits. Studies suggest they <br />
help lower the risk of heart disease, the nation’s top killer. They may <br />
also protect against depression, dementia, cancer, and arthritis. <br />
Omega-3s are found in salmon, walnuts, spinach, and more – but the <br />
health benefits can differ greatly from one source to another.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">The Omega-3 Alphabet</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 16px;">Omega-3<br />
fatty acids come in more than one form. The types found in fish, called<br />
DHA and EPA, have been studied most extensively and appear to have the <br />
strongest health benefits. Another form known as ALA is found in <br />
vegetable oils, flaxseed, walnuts, and dark leafy vegetables such as <br />
spinach. The body converts a small amount of ALA into EPA and DHA. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 16px;">ALA <br />
may also have some health benefits of its own.</span><br />
