What is Diabetes Exactly?

What is Diabetes Exactly?

Diabetes is the name of two diseases that have the same symptom, excessive urination. Diabetes usually refers to diabetes mellitus, by far the more common disease, where the body cannot utilize the sugar normally.

Cause of diabetes is unknown. The disease is common in some families, but many diabetics have no known family history of diabetes. Doctors believe that diabetes occurs due to the lack of the hormone, insulin in the body.

Insulin, which is produced by the pancreas, enables the body to use and store sugar. Some diabetics do lack insulin. This form of the disease is called Type 1 diabetes (also known as insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile-type diabetes).

People who become diabetic after their 40’s have normal or above-normal insulin production.. Their bodies do not respond efficiently to the insulin. Doctors call this form of the disease Type II diabetes (also known as insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-type diabetes). Almost 80% of diabetics have Type II, which is a milder form of the disease.

The differences between Type I and Type II diabetes vary in the treatment. Type I diabetics need to receive daily doses of insulin. It needs to be injected into the bloodstream and cannot be orally taken because it is destroyed in the digestive system. Not taking insulin results to excessive amount of sugar in the blood, resulting to to diabetic ketoacidosis and the patient may go into a diabetic coma. That’s why many diabetics carry candy or table sugar with them in case of an insulin reaction.

Most cases of Type II diabetes can be controlled by a diet that is low on calories. Some Type II diabetics whose condition cannot be controlled by diet alone use insulin or take oral drugs that reduce the level of sugar in the blood.…

Qualifications You Need in Order to Be Awarded a Federal Grant For College

Qualifications You Need in Order to Be Awarded a Federal Grant For College

The option to further one’s education is far greater today than ever before. There are good programs set up to help students and their families, which almost anyone can qualify for. Those who qualify for any assistance will be a U.S. citizen, not owe for any previous federal loans, and be enrolled in an eligible program. There are three major types of financial assistance available: governmental grants, student loans, and scholarships.

Getting Started With FAFSA

Before any of these can be applied for, a student must fill out a Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA). The application is found on the FAFSA website online and will be used to determine eligibility.

Anyone under the age of 24 will be considered a dependent. Those over 24 will be independent. Dependent students will need their parent’s financial information, as it will be used to determine eligibility for federal grant money. Independents will not need to provide parental documentation as the outcome is based on their own income. Any free money available will be applied to a student’s account before any other type of financial aid can be awarded. Below are the three main programs for financial assistance:

Government Grants

Grants are means tested, or needs based. This means that qualification for them is based on a students income and other factors that may demonstrate the need for help. The most common grant available is the Pell Grant.

Pell grants are free money. They are most commonly provided for parents and adults who otherwise could not afford to attend a school. Pell or any other types of grants do not need to be paid back by the student. Once funds are released to the school, it will be applied first to tuition. The remaining balance is generally refunded to the student for help with buying books and other supplies.

Student Loans

Student loans are cash loans from the federal or state government, private companies or banks which are applied after any grants that were available to cover tuition and school costs. Loans are not means tested, or needs based, allowing anybody to borrow up to a set amount of money. The amount of the loan is determined by the educational program and can be used for living expenses.

Students do not need to qualify for grants to apply for loans, but having federal grants will not affect the ability to borrow money. Loans can help with transportation, food, and other living costs. Students typically have to start paying on their loans six months after they graduate or leave the program.

Scholarships

Scholarships are the last stop when looking for funding. All scholarships are different as far as their qualifications and guidelines go. Generally, there are only limited amounts of money the scholarship foundations can give out in any given year. So it is a good idea to apply to them as soon as possible. Many, but not all, will …

Stem Cell Supplements – What You Need to Know

Stem Cell Supplements – What You Need to Know

Stem cell supplements are here to stay – they are the way of the future.

Medicine and science has come an awfully long way. Dr Oz said that in the last 12 months we have made a 10 year leap in stem cell technologies. In his words he described this breakthrough as “truly amazing”.

Scientists are now predicting that the average human will easily be able to live to 120 years of age by 2050 in a very healthy state. This statement is only possible due to the huge amount of medical and scientific developments being made with stem cell research. You may not be aware – but our own “adult stem cells” (those within our bodies from the day we are born) are fundamental to our overall health and wellbeing, how and when we age.

In 1896 the average human lived to just 48 years of age. Today the average human lives to 80 years of age. It’s incredible what facts are now available and what is being discovered to enable us all to take advantage of living a longer, healthier life.

Stem cells are the master cells of the human body. They are the foundation cells from which every organ and tissue in our body is created. It has only been in the last few years that scientists have actually discovered how amazing these stem cells are (especially adult stem cells) and what they can do within our bodies.

Under the right direction, stem cells (once in the blood stream) have the ability to duplicate themselves endlessly and become cells of virtually any organ and tissue of the body. Healthy stem cells override unhealthy cells and are able to seek out areas in the body that require healing. They travel to these areas and repair or replace damaged tissue, muscle, bone and cartilage therefore assisting with the reversal of disease, aging and injury that in turn improves and maintains our overall optimum health.

The bone marrow is an abundant source of adult stem cells hence why many cancer patients have bone marrow transplants or full stem cell replacement therapy.

It’s important to note “adult stem cells” are not embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pre-birth that must come from an embryo. As adult stem cells exist in our bodies from the day we are born the risk of rejection is non-existent.

The use of adult stem cells is now far outstripping those of embryonic. Those who are already sick can receive healthy adult stem cells from another person – again with no rejection issues. This is why so much more US government funding is now being provided for adult stem cell research. The Vatican has also jumped on board, announcing in April 2010 they are putting millions into adult stem cell research.

The Features of Various Urinary Incontinence Products

The Features of Various Urinary Incontinence Products

As the body ages, the muscles start to lose their ability to contract and release properly. This is the case for millions of people suffering from urinary incontinence. When you have involuntarily loss of urine from the bladder, it can lead to embarrassment and can even lead to depression. Learning how to buy the right urinary incontinence products can help you to regain your dignity as you manage your condition discretely. Here are some of the products available in the market for incontinence.

Pads and Inserts

There are absorbent and disposable inserts that look like sanitary napkins and which have a waterproof backing. The inserts are placed on the inner part of the underwear and they protect against leakage. There are also pads or cloth liners that can be washed and reused and which are designed to be worn together with waterproof pants.

Adult Diapers and Protective Underwear

People with higher incontinence levels are better off using adult diapers to protect against leakage. Some adult diapers are reusable while others are disposable. The diapers are generally designed to provide a snug fit on the wearer’s body. The adult diapers may also have leg gathers containing an elastic band, which are meant to enhance the diaper’s fit and further protect against leakage.

Reusable adult diapers enable one to save money over the long-term. They are designed to look and feel like normal undergarments except that the crotch area is made of waterproof material. A reusable and highly absorbent liner is placed inside the undergarment and washed after use. Other liners are disposable.

Some reusable adult diapers are designed to be as absorbent as disposable diapers. No extra pads are required for use with these undergarments. Instead, the crotch of the undergarments is designed to draw fluids away from the surface and into its core. These diapers provide protection for varying levels of incontinence.

Other reusable adult diapers are made of cloth and are washable, while some have a contour shape for a better fit and a plastic cover for greater protection. There are also waterproof pants that can be worn over the user’s undergarments to provide even more protection against leakage.

Male Urinary Incontinence Products

One of the available male urinary incontinence products is the drip collector, which is a small absorbent pocket with a waterproof backing. This drip collector is placed over the penis and secured in place by underwear that is close-fitting. A drip collector is best suited for use by men who constantly leak a little urine.

Another product for men is the condom catheter device that is worn over the penis in a manner similar to that of a condom. At the end of the catheter is a tube that is connected to a bag meant for urine collection and which is attached to the leg. The device is easy to use, ensures very little irritation of the skin and is ideal for handling urine volumes that can either be …

Why Soccer Is A Great Sport

Why Soccer Is A Great Sport

Soccer, or football as it is called in most countries, is arguably the most popular sport worldwide. The sport has its origin in England. It is a team sport played both at the national and club level and it usually provides a great spectacle for its fanatic followers.

In general, the game of soccer attracts huge audiences both at home through live broadcasts on television or at the stadium. More often than not, a few goals will be scored during a soccer match. Goals scored during a soccer match provide one of the most jubilant scenes one would ever experience amongst a set of players and fans in any team sport. Ironically, goals are also the source of so much pain and despair amongst the conceding team and their set of fans.

Apart from goal scoring, there are a number of aspects of the sport that would appeal to the fans. There are skillful players on show who help to create goal scoring chances for their teams and make the game more interesting, there are also individual and team awards for the outstanding performers. Nonetheless, supporters still rate their most captivating matches according to whether their team won or lost.

In current times, soccer tournaments such as the World Cup, European Cup, African Nations Cup and the European Champions League, have become some of the most followed sporting events in the world. The FIFA World Cup in particular, is a global showcase that brings together the best national soccer teams around the world. The first FIFA world cup was played in 1930 with only 13 teams participating in the competition – it has since grown in stature as 32 national teams now participate.

The FIFA world cup has a rich history that soccer fans can relate to. The most memorable World Cups are those which had some captivating matches with great teams and players involved. Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Italy, Germany, England and Spain, have all been involved in some of the unforgettable matches, each one of them having at least a FIFA World Cup title to their name.

One of the main advantages of soccer is that it unites countries and continents especially at the World Cup level. For instance, Spain’s victory during the 2010 World Cup brought together a divided nation in celebration of the victory. Similarly, African fans closely followed and cheered the continents’ participants in the tournament in unison, with Ghana being the most impressive having reached the quarter finals.

At the club level, rivalries are what appeal most to the fans. Club teams constantly try to out do each other by recruiting the best players to compete in the domestic leagues and continental championships. In tournaments such as the European Champions League great rivalries exist between the leading teams such as Manchester United and Barcelona. These teams also participate in domestic cups such as the FA Cup (England) or the Kings Cup (Spain). The beauty of such domestic cups is …

Special exercises that train your tiny foot muscles must be learned carefully, but once you have practiced them and know you are doing them right, they are easy to integrate into short slots of time during your day.

A special exercise to strengthen your big toe muscle increases your ballet foot control. This one tiny muscle supports all of your releves and jumps. It adds to the last second push off onto full pointe, and also gives an extra quick point of the foot that elevates a jump.

It is surprising that at first it may feel impossible to, for example, to lift your big toes off the floor while leaving the other four toes firmly in place. With no rolling in or out of the sole of the foot. And then placing the big toes back down, and lifting the other four.

If this causes a cramp, just relax your feet and keep trying. Working up to twenty repetitions is real progress. For your brain, this is foreign territory. Until a new neural pathway is created. Then you have a new reflex!

As you add more and more simple to learn exercises to your regimen, you will feel the effects in your ballet barre work. As you gain strength and control, you will know that your dreams of dancing in pointe ballet shoes are not impossible to fulfill.

Facing the Problem of Adult Constipation

Facing the Problem of Adult Constipation

When it comes to adult constipation, effects vary per individual. To others this could just be a problem of not passing stools as frequent as they normally do and to some it could be difficulty defecating. Still other people’s symptoms may include bloating and gas.

Since adult constipation symptoms vary, so are treatments. This problem is cured by determining the causes.

What causes infrequent bowel movements in adults?

There are some medications that cause this problem. Patients taking anti-depressants, narcotic pain killers, antacids with aluminum, iron supplements and some types of anti-convulsants are prone to infrequent bowel movements.

Adult constipation is also common to some people with poor diets, laxative dependency and hormonal disorders. Sometimes, this discomfort occurs when digestion slows down in the intestine particularly in the colon.

What treatments are available?

A common solution to the problem of adult constipation is taking higher amounts of fiber. Fiber is non-soluble so it can pass through the body almost unchanged. This makes the stool softer and easier to pass. Vegetables and fruits are still the best sources of natural fiber as well as wheat or oat bran, Psyllium seed and synthetic methyl cellulose.

Another common adult constipation treatment is water. Drinking lots of water keeps the body hydrated and keeps the digestive system running smoothly. Liquid is also needed to support the increase in your fiber intake.

Laxatives can also help ease the discomfort of infrequent bowel movements. You must be careful not to take laxatives in prolonged dosage though as this might lead to dependency that can disrupt the natural bowel movement of your body. Consult a physician if you think that you need to take stimulants to cure your adult constipation.

Enemas too can help but like laxatives must not be used regularly. Enemas help in adult constipation in cases of impaction but there could be side effects like damaging the rectum and disturbing electrolytes in the body.…
