High sugar content foods are well known to suppress the immune system which makes you vulnerable to colds, flu and other infections. There is also the “empty calorie” issue in high sugar foods. They provide lots of calories but few nutrients. And of course, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, there is the issue of an over stimulated pancreas from the absorption of high sugar foods. This over stimulated pancreas means you have too much insulin in the blood. This leads to excess fat storage, hypoglycaemic reactions, inflammatory conditions (asthma, arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, migraines), yeast infections and hormonal imbalances and even depression. If you are interested in or concerned about your health it would be wise to control your insulin.

JOINT DISORDERS

Pain in the back may be caused by a strain or sprain, by misalignment of the spinal vertebrae, or by pelvic bones causing pressure on neves. Back tension and spasms may also be caused by emotional states such as anger or fear.

PROBLEM OF OBESITY

When are we going to take action? The World Health Organisation has, over the last 5 years, repeatedly raised the alarm over the rising incidence of obesity and the associated health risks created by this voluminous (pun intended) problem. The incidence of obesity is doubling every 5 years. Even worse is the estimate that up to 20 percent of school age children are obese-not just over weight.

MENTAL DISORDERS

Fainting is a sudden brief loss of consciousness caused by a lowering of blood pressure to the brain. Fainting may result from physical or emotional causes. Common causative factors are blood loss, dehydration, pain, fright, shock, becoming overhead, exhaustion, arrhythmias of the heart, overexertion, and hyperventilation.

PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE

As your muscles adapt to a given exercise resistance (weight), that resistance must be gradually increased to stimulate further gains. The key to strength and muscle development is progressive resistance, which is also called “exercise progression”, or “the overload principle”. This is the gradual and continual addition of weight to the exercise over time, as the previous weights become too easy to lift, so that your muscles are continually forced to work harder and thus increase muscle strength, size and tone.

MENTAL DISORDER-(DIZZINESS)

Dizziness is a symptom more than an illness, but it is nonetheless quite annoying and can be debilitating. Dizziness may accompany fever, headache, and nausea in acute illnesses. It is also present with fainting, motion sickness and loss of balance.

HABIT OF FITNESS

The idea of making fitness a habit is important. People often associate “enthusiasm” with working out and getting fit. There’s nothing wrong with bringing enthusiasm to a worthwhile endeavour. However, it’s not enough, it usually wanes and it’s really not the key ingredient.

MENTAL DISORDER-(GRIEF)

Grief is an emotional reaction to loss and disappointment, such as the loss of a loved one, the breaking up of a relationship, or losing a job.

Grief is characterized by weeping, wailing, sobbing, sighing, withdrawal, and depression. Rational thinking is usually overcome by emotion during acute grief.

RELIEVING TENSION HEADACHES

It seems hard to imagine, but 3 million people in the United States each year report having tension headaches. They are becoming more and more common. Tension headaches, also referred to as stress headaches, are known for mild to moderate pain that feels like there is a band around the forehead or at the back of the head and neck. Some people only experience them occasionally while others can have them more than 15 times in a month (referred to as chronic tension headaches). No matter how often a person experiences these headaches, they are not easy to deal with. What causes them?

MENTAL DISORDER-(INSOMNIA)

Insomnia is difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep to the point that it interferes with getting adequate rest. Insomnia may be caused by emotional distress, worry, nervous tension, too much thinking, pain, drugs, caffeine, overeating, or environments that are not conductive to sleeping.
