Physical Illnesses Related to Stress

Stress related physical illnesses are commonly referred to as psycho-physiological disorders or psychosomatic illnesses. Even though the general perception is that stress causes psychological problems, the reality is that psycho-physiological disorders and illnesses are nearly as common. It is just that most people fail to correlate stress with physical symptoms and problems.

Stress produces a response from the central nervous system that initiates certain actions within the body. We do not have conscious control over these actions. Continuous stress results in constant alertness, something that can adversely affect certain organs.

For example, the stress response can cause the heart to beat faster, something that the blood vessels may not be able to tolerate if the pressure is maintained at high levels for a long time.

The link between stress and cardiovascular disease is fairly well known. As age advances the fatty deposits often cause constriction in blood vessels. Prolonged stress causes high blood pressure and a simultaneous constriction of blood vessels leads to cardiovascular problems like heart attack, stroke and even heart failure.

Knowing the Difference Between Bronchitis and Pneumonia

Bronchitis and pneumonia are not synonymous. However, both are diseases affecting the lower respiratory system. Typically, it affects the airways going to the lungs, so it is imperative that a person should learn the major differences of the diseases to have a better understanding.

A severe lung infection is called pneumonia. The alveoli are filled with other liquid and pus. Thus the normal flow of oxygen is blocked. The blood is then getting less amounts of oxygen. In the absence of oxygen in your body, the cells fail to work properly.

There is no such thing as a diabetic diet. A dietician can advise you on a diet plan that is right for you. A nutritionist or registered dietician can also teach you how to choose the best foods for meals and snacks.

Typically a diet that is designed for a diabetic consists of 40% to 60% calories that come from carbohydrate food sources and 20% form protein with the remaining 30% coming from fat sources.

Doctors and researchers have determined recently that diabetics can consume some sugar as long as they are consuming a healthy, well-balanced diet. It is still important not to add sugar to the foods you eat.
