Lowering Cholesterol Without Statins.

Statins are a class of drugs that are often prescribed by doctors to help lower blood cholesterol levels. Thus, statins help prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Studies show that, in certain people, statins reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and even death from heart disease by 25 to 35 percent. Studies have also shown that statins may reduce the likelihood of recurrent stroke or heart attack by about 40%.

"High cholesterol runs in conjunction with other problems. If you take statins, you only attack cholesterol, do not fix other problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, and metabolic syndrome, "said Chauncey Crandall, MD.

Dr. Crandall recommends the following steps to lower cholesterol without statins :

Change your diet.

Plant-based diet, which consists mostly of fruits, vegetables, and grains, along with meat substitutes such as beans, lowering cholesterol naturally.

Take supplements of plant sterols.

Plant sterols, also known as plant stanols, is the plant version of cholesterol. And when consumed in sufficient quantities, plant sterols block the absorption of cholesterol in the human small intestine.

There are some products that contain plant sterols, such as a special margarine, but they also contain chemicals, so you better take a daily supplement of 2 grams.

Begin the day with oatmeal.

Oatmeal is the best defense against cholesterol foods. The reason is because oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which turns into a gel in the body, which helps you feel full and also interfere with digestion cholesterol, removing it from your body.

Get 8-10 hours of sleep a night.

Lack of sleep can increase LDL cholesterol, known as cholesterol is "bad," contributes to high blood pressure, and lead to overeating. If you snore, or find yourself excessively sleepy during the day, check yourself for sleep disorders are common and dangerous that known as sleep apnea.

Check your vitamin D levels.

Lack of vitamin D linked to high cholesterol. The body's ability to synthesize vitamin D from the sun decreases with age. Check your vitamin D levels with blood tests. If it is low, take a daily supplement of vitamin D.

Check your blood sugar levels.

You must have a fasting blood sugar level of 100 or less. Blood glucose levels are too high cause LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) and high triglycerides, which are harmful blood fats, cholesterol remainder.

Reduce eating gluten.

Grain-based foods cause obesity and inflammation, which research shows can be a carrier of heart disease is even more dangerous than cholesterol. If you consume wheat products, make sure that you eat are whole grains, and avoid multi-grain products that are not healthy.

Exercise one hour every day.

Walk briskly for one hour will help lower cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure, and ensure the flow of blood to your heart.

Take the supplement red yeast rice.

Red yeast rice is traditionally used in Chinese medicine. Red yeast rice contains substances that are chemically identical to the active ingredient in the statin drug. Download using instructions from your doctor.

Sprinkle foods with cinnamon.

In one study, researchers found that about half a tablespoon of cinnamon every day cut total cholesterol by 26 percent.

Cinnamon is also an excellent way to make heart-healthy foods, such as cheese or low-fat Greek yogurt, it tasted delicious. And if you sprinkle on oatmeal or other foods, you will encourage your breakfast power in the fight against cholesterol. Thank you for reading this article.

Did you know Waking Things Herpes Virus.

Although it can be cured, herpes (skin rash illness caused by a virus) can always recur because the drugs can only be expelled most viruses. The rest will be crystallized, sleeping and hiding in the blood to rise again someday if he met with the trigger.

There are two types of the virus that causes herpes, the herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-1 and type-2. HSV type 1 is more common in the face, eyes and throat while HSV type 2 triggers infection in the genital or genital area.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 65 percent of adults are carriers of HSV type-2. Viruses are crystallized in the blood is generally not realized because it has no symptoms, although actually be active again if at any time to meet with the trigger.

There are three things that can awaken the herpes virus from hibernation or sleep length.

1. Sunlight

A study published in the American Sports Medicine reveals the relationship between oral herpes with sunlight, especially ultraviolet-B (UV-B). Mentioned, the skier who often bask have a higher risk for relapse oral herpes.

Rhoda Ashley Morrow, PhD, a virologist from the Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle said that risk can be prevented by sunscreen. According to him, SPF-36 have been powerful enough to ward off 100 percent of UV-B.

2. Stress

All the things that trigger stress can weaken the immune system. In these conditions, the herpes virus can rise and trigger an infection, especially in the throat, causing inflammation.

A study published in the journal Antiviral Research said, the recurrence of herpes due to stress can be prevented with red wine. Not only because it can relieve stress, direct contact with the alcohol can also prevent bangkutnya herpes virus and prevent infection in the throat.

3. Remove the gear

How to Avoid Illness Herpes

Many people do not realize that he had been infected with the herpes virus because sometimes herpes does not cause symptoms. How is herpes disease transmission and how to avoid them?

There are two types of herpes that can infect humans, namely herpes zooster (shingles) that looks like chickenpox and genital herpes (herpes simplex).

Both diseases are caused by a different virus infection. If zooster herpes disease caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV), genital herpes disease caused by Herpes HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus 2). Both of these diseases are different, but both are contagious disease.

Modes of transmission.

1. The disease is genital herpes (genital).

Transmission is through direct skin contact is from the infected area to the affected areas.

For example, when someone who is infected kissing or having sex such as oral, vaginal or anal, it can cause infected partner.

This type of herpes most contagious if someone is sick condition, usually characterized by itching, tingling and other sensations before appear any of the skin.

2. zooster herpes disease.

This disease usually affects adults who have immune system is declining. The herpes virus is everywhere but if someone has a good immune system, it rarely affected by this condition.

Varicella zoster virus is a virus that also causes smallpox. If the person has been exposed to smallpox rarely exposed to herpes zooster.

In contrast to smallpox, herpes zooster results in pain and tremendous pain. And location of the disease only occurs in some side of the body. Sometimes there are also attacking the eyes, face, neck, around the ears and the tip of the nose.

The first symptom is pain felt in one particular area. Followed by a rash which contains a liquid whose characteristics are similar to chickenpox. If scratched can lead to infection.

How to avoid

There are several ways you can do to avoid genital herpes infections, namely:

1. Using a condom is good for men or women.
A study showed that the herpes virus can not pass through latex condoms if used correctly. This practice enough to reduce the risk of transmission.

2. To be honest with your partner if one has a sexually transmitted infection, it can help to reduce transmission through sexual contact.

3. Do not perform oral sex if the flu or known to have HSV-1 in the mouth, because this could be spreading the virus to the genitals.

4. Faithful to one partner (monogamous) and practice safe sex every time you have without any exception. Reduce friction and also prevent small cuts in the vagina or penis potential entry of the virus into the body.

5. Wash your hands after touching the sores before touching other parts of the body to avoid the spread of the virus.

To avoid zooster herpes (shingles) there are several ways you can do, namely :

1. If you have not been getting chickenpox at all, try not contiguous with the person being smallpox.

2. Perform a vaccine to prevent infection with the varicella virus zooster. A person can not get herpes zooster if not ever get chicken pox, so one way is to protect yourself from chickenpox by the smallpox vaccine.

3. If you're having herpes zooster, frequently wash your hands so that the disease does not spread to other body parts.

4. As much as possible avoid touching or contact with people who are sick herpes zooster, because touch is one of the media the spread of this disease.

5. Keeping the immune system in order not to decrease, making it difficult virus to infect the body. Thank you for reading this article.

Transmission of infection occurs by inhaling spray saliva measles. Patients can transmit the infection within 2-4 days before the onset of skin rashes and 4 days after the rash there.

Before the widespread use of measles vaccination, measles outbreaks occur every 2-3 years, especially in children aged pre-school and elementary school children. If someone has had measles, then the rest of his life normally he will be immune to the disease.

Causes.

Measles, rubeola (not rubella = German measles), or measles (in some areas also called tampek, dabaken or morbili) is an infectious disease that is contagious or infectious since the beginning of the prodromal period, ie the range of the first 4 days since the appearance of the rash. Measles is caused by paramiksovirus (measles virus). Transmission occurs through saliva splashes from the nose, mouth and throat with measles (water borne). The incubation period is 10-14 days before symptoms appear.
Immunity is obtained after vaccination against measles, active and passive immunity infection in a baby has been born to mothers who are immune (lasts for 1 year).

People who are susceptible to measles are :

- Infants aged over 1 year - babies who did not get immunized - teens and young adults who have not received a second immunization.

Symptoms.

Symptoms begin to appear within 7-14 days after infection, which are :

* Heat agency
* Painful throat
* Colds Coryza
* Cough (Cough)
* Koplik spots
* Muscle pain
* Red-eye (conjuctivitis)
2-4 days later the small white spots appear in the mouth of the inner (Koplik's spots). Rash (redness of the skin), which feels a bit itchy appear 3-5 days after the onset of the above symptoms. This could take the form of macular rash (rash redness horizontal) and papules (reddish rash that stands out). At first the rash appears on the face, which is in front of and below the ears and on the neck next to the side. Within 1-2 days, the rash spreads to the trunk, arms and legs, while a rash on the face started to fade.

Bacterial infections: pneumonia and middle ear infections
Sometimes thrombocytopenia (decreased platelet count), so that patients prone to easy bruising and bleeding
Encephalitis (brain infection) occurs in 1 out of 1.000 to 2000 cases.

Diagnosis.

Diagnosis based on symptoms and a characteristic skin rash.
Other tests may be done:
blood tests, examination of peripheral blood
examination Ig M anti-measles
Examination of complications of measles:

Ensephalopati,
Bronkopneumoni

Treatment.

There is no specific treatment for measles. Children should undergo a break. To reduce fever, given acetaminophen or ibuprofen. If there is a bacterial infection, antibiotics are given. So it must be on guard.

Prevention.

Measles vaccine is part of routine immunization in children. The vaccine is usually given in combination with mumps and German measles (MMR / mumps, measles, rubella) vaccine, injected in the muscles of the thigh or upper arm.
If only contains measles vaccine given at the age of 9 months. In the form of MMR, the first dose given at 12-15 months of age, the second dose is given at age 4-6 years.
In addition, patients should also be advised to rest for at least 10 days and eat nutritious food in order to increase immunity.
There is also a MMRV vaccine, a combination vaccine MMR vaccine and chickenpox (varicella). With this combination, the governance of vaccination is simpler, because the number of injections fewer and cheaper. But for children aged 2 years or less, MMRV vaccine have more side effects than the vaccine MMR and chickenpox vaccines separately in one day. The addition of febrile seizures occurring events 7 to 10 days after vaccination, the incidence of mild fever and the addition of additional events such as itching measles. But MMRV vaccination at age 4 to 6 years there was no evidence of the incidence of febrile seizure compared to the addition of the vaccine MMR and chickenpox vaccines separately.

Incubation time.

Time of exposure to illness: About 10 to 12 days until first symptoms, and 14 days until the rash develops. Immunisation (MMR) at 12 months and 4 years. People who are close and are not immune should not attend school or work for 14 days.
