What Is Tonsilitis
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, caused by either bacteria or viruses. Tonsils are groups of tissue, similar to the lymph nodes or 'glands' that circle the throat. This circle of tissue is part of a ring of glandular tissue around the throat called Waldeyer's ring, and the tonsils are found on either side of the back of the throat.
What Causes Diabetes And Types Of Diabetes
A healthy diet, regular exercise, and culturally sensitive care may be helpful in preventing and controlling diabetes, say researchers. The findings are based on recent reviews that suggest that a healthy diet and exercise can help prevent diabetes, and that patients from ethnic minorities do better with diabetes education that takes their language and culture into account.
Heart Attack Causes, Symptoms And Signs
The blood supply to the heart is usually stopped by a blood clot in the coronary arteries, causing the heart attack. The arteries are narrowed in places due to 'plaques' - a build-up of the fatty substance cholesterol over many years.
What Causes Asthma And Asthma Treatment
Asthma is a condition that affects your airways - the small tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. People with asthma have airways that are almost always red and sensitive, inflamed.
Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids can cause infertility by presenting as a space occupying lesion; by contiguous enlargement and subsequent blockade of the tubes, by formation of adhesions, by exhibiting heavy menstrual flow causing symptomatic anemia and causing irregularities of menstruation and hormonal imbalance, and by causing discomfort and pain during intercourse.
Apple juice could help reduce behavioural and psychotic symptoms associated with dementia according to study published in the American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias.
Researchers added two 4oz glasses of apple juice a day to the diets of 21 people with dementia with moderate to severe dementia. After a month, carers reported an approximately 27 per cent improvement in behaviour such as agitation, anxiety and delusion. There were no notable changes in cognitive performance or day-to-day functions.
Alzheimer’s Society comment:
‘This very small study, funded by the apple juice industry, suggests apple juice could reduce agitation and anxiety but it does not say it can improve dementia. There are many limitations to this research and we certainly cannot yet hail apple juice as a miracle cure.’
‘It could however form part of a healthy diet, which we know has benefits for people with dementia. One in three people over 65 will die with dementia yet dementia research is drastically underfunded. We hope the new government will live up to its promise to prioritise it in future years.’
