DIARRHEA

Acute diarrhea is usually due to infection by such bacteria as Staphylococcus, E. Coli, Salmonella, or Shigella or such parasites as Amebas or Giardia lamblia.

The stools are loose or watery, sometimes profuse or explosive and may be foul-smelling. Food particles may be found in the stool.

AMEBIC DYSENTERY

Amebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by a microganism called Entamoeba bistolytica, more commonly known as amebas.

SYMPTOMS

The main symptoms of amebic dysentery are painful abdominal cramps, loose watery stools, and gas. The stools may contain mucus and blood, and are infectious. Amebas frequently cause liver swelling and tenderness and, less commonly, abscesses in the liver.

DIGESTIVE DISORDERS

COLIC

Colic is a condition found in babies from just after birth until three or four months of age, with crying, irritability, and what seems to be pain or cramps in the abdomen.

Symptoms

Colicky babies cry and appear to be in pain or distress. Gas may be part of the problem. They may cry incessantly, or only at certain times. The crying can be very distressing to parents, who feel helpless to do anything about it.

TEETH DISORDERS

TEETHING

Some children have no problems at all when their first teeth break through. For others, it is quite an ordeal, and for their parents as well.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of teething are pain in the teeth and gums, drooling, redness and swelling of the gums, fever, changes in the stool, restlessness, fussiness, and difficult sleeping.

COMPLICATIONS

Teething can be a challenging event, even though there are no complications.

COUGH (DRY)

Water

Adequate water can actually reverse athrosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to plaque build-up). It seems that water can actually flush the arteries of plaque.

HEALTHY EATING

For many people, holidays, festivals and family get togethers are a time for celebration. These celebrations often involve foods that are high in fat, sugar and calories and short on nutrition.

Create a Plan Ahead of Time:

Before the festival and marriage ceremonies sneak up on you, create a plan for incorporating fitness and good nutrition into your daily routine. Evaluate your party schedule and then determine how much time you will realistically have available to devote to working out and/or eating healthy meals.

This holiday or festival seasons don’t be trendy-avoid the Seasonal trend. (the average weight most Americans gain between Thanksgiving and New Year’s and Indians in festival like Diwali and marriage ceremonies).
