Summer is here so this is a good time to remind parents and babysitters about a few things that can prevent a disaster from happening.
Every patient and care provider needs to take an active role to make sure health care is safe. Here are some tips that you can use when you or a member of your family has to go to the emergency room or be admitted to the hospital. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or to raise a concern. Remember, medical professionals need reminders, too.
Be safe. Be careful. Watch where you step. You hear these cautions from family and friends all of the time. But what can you do to be sure that you are indeed being careful and watching and preventing a fall or accident in your home? Below we look at two areas—yourself and your home—where you can be safer and more secure.
Inflammation is defined as a localized reaction of tissue to irritation, injury or infection. Symptoms include pain, swelling and red coloration of the area. We commonly think of inflammation as the painful result of arthritis. But inflammation is also a component of chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression, cancer and diabetes. That is why anti-inflammatory foods are so important. Below is a list of food groups and nutrients that contain foods with anti-inflammatory properties.
Caring for your feet is one of the many important things you can do — and need to do — if you are diabetic or if you have been told you have “poor circulation.” Diabetes, a condition having to do with your body’s production of blood sugar, often results in changes in blood supply to your feet.
Children are our nation’s greatest assets and the future leaders of tomorrow. However, year after year, hundreds of them are injured and killed in crashes on our nation’s highways. Far too many of these casualties are due to improperly installing children’s restraints or not using them altogether.Archive
