Treatments for Infertility in Women

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 06:45:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , ,

Infertility, the state of being unable to produce offspring, seems to be a cause of concern for a lot of couples of fertile age. The leading causes for this alarming increase in the rate of infertility include increased workplace stress, hectic and fast paced lifestyle, environmental toxins, delayed marriage and prolonged family planning. Once a couple visits an infertility specialist, they are made to go through several tests. The treatment will depend on the cause or causes behind the infertility. It'll also depend on whether the problem is from the male side, female site, both sides, or remains unexplained. The good news is that there are effective and affordable treatments available. Whether you're in Delhi or London, finding an infertility specialist is as easy as logging on to Google and typing your query for an expert in infertility treatment.

The popular infertility treatments include Fertility Drugs, Surgical Treatment, IUI and IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). Once the cause or causes of the infertility is determined, the infertility specialist in Delhi (or, whichever city you live in) will lay out the most-effective treatment plan for the couple.

Surgical Solution:

In a female infertility case, if the problem is found in the fallopian tubes or the lining of the pelvis and abdomen, the infertility specialist in Delhi can perform a laparoscopic surgery to evaluate the situation and possibly repair the problem. Tests like HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) can be recommended.

IUI:

Intrauterine Insemination or IUI refers to the procedure wherein specially washed sperms are directly placed into the uterus. IUI may be considered in some cases of male infertility, where there is a problem with the woman's cervical mucus, or in case of unexplained infertility.

IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

Assisted Reproductive Technologies refer to the treatments wherein doctors handle the eggs or embryos. In Vitro Fertilization is the most-common form of ART in use; herein, drugs are used to stimulate the ovaries for producing eggs; the eggs then retrieved in an out-patient procedure. These eggs are then placed together with sperm; the wait is now for the fertilization. Once the fertilization takes place, the doctor takes one to three embryos and places them inside the woman's uterus.

The good news is that success chances are now much higher; all credit goes to our doctors and innovative technologies. Now if a couple in India is having problem in conceiving, all it needs to do is look for an IVF clinic in India and discuss the best treatments available.

Our thyroid gland works to produce thyroid hormone needed for our body. The Thyroid hormone controls one's body tremendously, affecting every single cell in our body. It works like a gas pedal for our body. Because of its' important role, it produces serious damage to one's body functionality if the thyroid fails to do its' job normally.

Steps to Avoid Heart Disease

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 18:15:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , ,

Your body's strongest muscle also gets the most exposure to risk factors that can cause it to slow down, or stop functioning well. Inasmuch as most of your body's functions rely greatly on your heart's ability to supply blood throughout your body, you need to take good care of it to sustain its energy. The things we do every day and our lifestyle can greatly affect our heart's health, which means that we have full control over its health, that is, if we choose to.

A healthy life means a healthy heart, and a healthy heart means a healthy, not to mention longer life. What we do to our body can directly affect the functioning of our heart, and most of our habits put our heart at risk for diseases. Heart diseases have been recorded to be the number one cause of mortality in the world's population, and whilst it's early, it's better to tread a path away from them. Here are some of the things you can do to avoid getting heart diseases easily and effectively, leading to a healthier, longer life.

1. Have a heart-friendly diet. Too much fat, cholesterol and calories are harmful to your heart. These are commonly linked to an elevated blood pressure, which puts you at risk for developing heart diseases. On the other hand, consumption of food that is high in Omega-3 fatty acids as well as fruits and vegetables can help prevent the development of heart diseases, aside from protecting your heart from other risk factors.

2. Be nicotine-free. Smoking poses a great risk for your heart to develop diseases. The tons of harmful contents of a single stick of tobacco can compromise your heart's health, making it vulnerable to damages in the blood vessels and arteries which may lead to atherosclerosis, which leads to heart attack. Moreover, avoiding secondhand smoke may just be as effective as avoiding or quitting that smoking habit. The carbon monoxide one can get from second hand smoke will replace some of the oxygen as soon as it hits our system, making the heart work harder, thereby increasing our blood pressure.

3. Work those muscles. At least thirty minutes of exercise daily is good for the heart, not to mention it has great effects to our physical appearance, too. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Even making walking a habit is beneficial to the heart, and you can do this if you don't have enough spare time for a thirty-minute exercise every day.

4. Visit your doctor regularly. Also have your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar checked regularly. Any significant change in the values or levels of the aforementioned can pose a risk to your heart in developing diseases, no matter how much you try to avoid them.

Tips to Get Rid of Fever

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 10:40:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , ,


Fever is a good thing. It's your body's attempt to kill off invading bacteria and other nasty organisms that can't survive the heat. The hypothalamus, which is the body's thermostat, senses the assault on the body and turns up the heat much the way you turn up the thermostat when you feel cold. It's a simple defense mechanism, and the sweat that comes with a fever is merely a way to cool the body down.

The most important thing though is to keep body fluids flowing. Like in heat exhaustion and heat stroke and other similar ailments, when the body temperature goes up, the more fluid it uses. So, although inactive and lying in bed, one can still become dehydrated with a fever. To prevent dehydration during a fever, body fluids need to be replenished. The average adult should drink about 10 glasses of water per day, more than the usual average. Children should strive for 6-10 per day. If your fever is the cause of another illness, such as the cold or the flu, water is equally important in flushing out the body of the "bug" that is causing the illness.

A fever isn't a disease. It's a symptom of an infection, typically caused by a cold or the flu. When you have a cold, for instance, your immune system signals to your brain that it needs more body heat in order to attack infectious cells, and your body temperature rises.

Steaming the body with water to which khus khus (poppy seeds) is added causes perspiration and brings the temperature down. Water boiled with khus khus may be used as a drink in feverish conditions.

Holy Basil (Tulsi) is another equally effective home remedy for fever. You can boil it in 2 cups of water and drink it. You can add some honey when boiling it. 

Normal body temperature ranges from 97 to 99 degrees Fahrenheit, but varies throughout the day. Usually is lower in the early morning and higher in late afternoon. A fever is consider to be any temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. One should get concern when temperature raises above 102 degrees Fahrenheit for an adult and 103 degrees Fahrenheit for children.

The leaves of holy basil are one of the most effective of several home remedies in the treatment of common fever. A decoction made of about twelve grams of these leaves, boiled in half a litre of water, should be administered twice daily with half a cup of milk, one teaspoon of sugar and a quarter teaspoon of powdered cardamom (chhoti elaichi). This will bring down the temperature.

Drink lots of water to compensate for the loss of body fluid. This will also help to reduce the body temperature. To immediately reduce high body temperature, boil powder of 2 to 3 tsp dry roasted fenugreek seeds. Strain the water and add a drop of ghee to it and drink. Drink juice made out of sweet basil leaves twice or thrice a day. Prepare linden tea by boiling 1 tbsp of linden flower in 1 cup of water and drink it hot. Brew willow bark tea and drink it by taking small sips. Willow bark has some aspirin related compound. If you are not comfortable with it then use black elder.

Put an ice pack on your forehead. This also cools you down temporarily. Or, soak a washcloth in a bowl of cool water. Then bring it out and place it on your forehead. This will help your body to lower it's temperature, thus reducing the fever faster.

Health Benefits of Raspberries

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 10:05:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Raspberries are a member of the rose family, and come in many colours besides red. There are also black, purple and gold raspberries, all of which have an intense sweet taste that can be used in a variety of tasty dishes. And not only are raspberries a delicious snack, they are also full of vitamins, minerals and fibres which can help to improve your health. Here are ten reasons why raspberries should be an essential part of your diet.

1) Raspberries are a rich source of fibre.

One single serving of raspberries contains about a third of your daily dose of dietary fibre. There are many reasons why high-fibre foods are good for your health. Fibre helps in the digestive process, promoting bowel regularity and keeping the gastrointestinal tract clean. Studies have shown that a high-fibre diet may reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. Best of all, fibre takes long to digest, so those raspberries will keep you feeling fuller for longer.

2) Raspberries are a source of vitamin C

You'll find about half of your recommended dose of vitamin C in a serving of raspberries. The body is not able to make vitamin C on its own, and it does not store it either. But vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body, and is one of many antioxidants that block some of the damage caused by free radicals. You need a continuous supply of vitamin C in your diet for normal growth and development.

3) Raspberries contain natural sugars

Although raspberries only contain around 53 calories per 100g serving, these calories mostly come from sugars. But experts say that the natural sugars in raspberries are much better for your body than artificially created and processed sugars. The natural sugars are synthesized into glucose that the body uses in the brain and body cells to fuel metabolic processes.

4) Raspberries contain manganese

In just one cup of raspberries you will find almost two thirds of your daily recommended intake of the nutrient manganese. Manganese is a trace mineral that is present in tiny amounts in the body. Manganese helps the body form bones, blood clotting components, sex hormones and connective tissue. The nutrient is also essential for normal brain and nerve function. Experts say that manganese may help prevent osteoporosis, arthritis, premenstrual syndrome, diabetes and epilepsy.


5) Raspberries are a great source of vitamin A and K

Vitamin A strengthens immunity against infections, helps vision in dim lights and keeps skin and the linings of some parts of the body healthy. A single cup of raspberries contains around 4 per cent of your recommended daily allowance of vitamin A.

Vitamin K works to prevent calcification from occurring in your arteries, promotes blood clotting, protects your bones from fractures, prevents bruising and provides some level of protection against both liver cancer and prostate cancer. One cup of raspberries contains around 10 per cent of your RDA of vitamin K.

6) Raspberries are full of antioxidants

Raspberries rank near the top of all fruits for antioxidant strength. Antioxidants may protect cells from the damage caused free radicals, which can lead to cancer and heart disease. Raspberries have an ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) of about 4,900 per 100g, putting them among the top-ranked ORAC fruits.

7) Raspberries are low-glycemic index food

The Glycemic Index is a measure of the effects of carbohydrates in food on blood sugar levels. Foods with carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion and release glucose rapidly into the bloodstream tend to have a high GI. Foods with carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing glucose more gradually into the bloodstream, tend to have a low GI. Raspberries have a low GI, meaning the energy release from them is gradual and long lasting. Studies have shown that individuals who followed a low-GI diet over many years are at a significantly lower risk for developing certain diseases, including type 2 diabetes.

8) Raspberries contain important minerals

Minerals are necessary for three main reasons- building strong bones and teeth, controlling body fluids inside and outside cells and turning the food you eat into energy. You need minerals in the form that they are found in food. Luckily, raspberries are a great source of copper, iron and magnesium.

9) Raspberries are one of your five a day

The UK government recommends that everyone eats five portions of fruit and veg a day to lower the risk of serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Private medical insurance premiums can be higher for people who are overweight, and may not cover diabetes. Two handfuls of fresh raspberries count as one of your five a day.

10) Raspberries are a natural anti-inflammatory

Raspberries provide important anti-inflammatories, including anthocyanins (the pigments in red, purple and blue fruits), which may help reduce cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and improve eyesight and memory.

Raspberries can sometimes be expensive to buy in the shops, but they are really easy to grow if you can give them a sunny or partly shaded spot with well-drained soil. Raspberries can be used in a range of dishes, from a simple snack, to a delicious dressing, and most commonly a perfect pudding!
