system: Are proteins important when eating healthy for weight loss?
output: Proteins help repair and maintain your body, including muscle. You can get protein in all types of food. Good sources include fish, meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, nuts, beans, and other legumes.
system: What minerals are important when eating healthy for weight loss?
output: Minerals, like vitamins, must come from the diet. Your body needs them, but it can't make them. You need more of some minerals (such as calcium, potassium, and iron) than others. For instance, you need only small amounts of the minerals zinc, selenium, and copper.
system: How many calories should I eat per day when eating healthy for weight loss?
output: A dietitian can help you figure that out. Don't cut your calories too much, or your diet is going to be hard to stick with and may not give you the nutrients your body needs.
system: How are calories an important measurement when eating healthy for weight loss?
output: A good general rule is to use My Plate, which makes it easy to envision just how much of each food type to include in your meal. When you eat more calories than you need, your body stores the extra calories as fat. Even low-carb and fat-free foods can have a lot of calories that can be stored as fat.
system: What does a healthy diet include?
output: But exactly what is a healthy diet? It should include: Protein (found in fish, meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs, nuts, and beans) Fat (found in animal and dairy products, nuts, and oils) Carbohydrates (found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans and other legumes) Vitamins (such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K) Minerals (such as calcium, potassium, and iron) Water (both in what you drink, and what's naturally in foods) Dieting or not, everyone needs a mix of those nutrients, ideally from foods. Stick to your calorie âbudget,â because when you're working on losing weight, you need to burn more calories than you eat or drink.
system: What are some general tips when eating healthy for weight loss?
output: More tips: Choose nonfat or 1% milk instead of 2% or whole milk. Pick lean meat instead of fatty meat. Select breads and cereals that are made with whole grains and are not prepared with a lot of fat. If you eat a high-calorie food or meal, balance your intake by choosing low-calorie foods the rest of the day or the next day. Check the food labels on packaged foods to help you budget fat, cholesterol, and sodium over several days. That's just the start of what you might want to know about nutrition for weight loss. Keep learning as much as you can, including the following terms.
system: How important is water when eating healthy for weight loss?
output: It should include: Protein (found in fish, meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs, nuts, and beans) Fat (found in animal and dairy products, nuts, and oils) Carbohydrates (found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans and other legumes) Vitamins (such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K) Minerals (such as calcium, potassium, and iron) Water (both in what you drink, and what's naturally in foods) Dieting or not, everyone needs a mix of those nutrients, ideally from foods. But most Americans get too much of it, which makes high cholesterol and heart disease more likely. You can drink water or get it from foods that naturally have water in them, like fruits and vegetables.
system: Why are biologics for Crohn's disease so expensive?
output: You may be able to get help to pay for it. Biologics are hard to make, and that drives up the price. One year of treatment can add up to about $20,000. Even if you have health insurance, you may have to pay 25% to 35% of the cost of the drug. You can find out which help pay for each type of biologic used to treat Crohn's disease.
system: How can you screen for colorectal cancer?
output: The current American Cancer Society screening guidelines for colorectal cancer n an average risk patient begin at the age of 45 and include the following options: Stool based tests: Fecal immunochemical test ( FIT) yearly Guaiac fecal occult blood test yearly Stool DNA test every 3 years Structural examinations: Colonoscopy every 10 years Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years. If you have a positive result on a screening test that is not a colonoscopy, further evaluation should be performed on a timely basis with a colonoscopy test to take a look at your entire colon.
system: What happens after a biopsy confirms colorectal cancer?
output: Should a biopsy confirm cancer, imaging tests using chest X-rays and CT scans of the abdomen, pelvis, and possibly chest are performed to find out whether the cancer has spread to other sites. Blood tests will also be ordered to find out how well the liver and kidneys are functioning, to determine if you are anemic, and to measure the blood level of a substance called carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA), often found in higher-than-normal concentration in the presence of colorectal cancer, especially if it has spread.
system: How is colorectal cancer diagnosed?
output: The current American Cancer Society screening guidelines for colorectal cancer n an average risk patient begin at the age of 45 and include the following options: Stool based tests: Fecal immunochemical test ( FIT) yearly Guaiac fecal occult blood test yearly Stool DNA test every 3 years Structural examinations: Colonoscopy every 10 years Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years. If you have a positive result on a screening test that is not a colonoscopy, further evaluation should be performed on a timely basis with a colonoscopy test to take a look at your entire colon.
system: How is radiation therapy used to treat colorectal cancer?
output: For rectal cancer, radiation is usually given after surgery, along with chemotherapy (known as adjuvant therapy), in order to destroy any cancer cells left behind. In addition, it can be used along with chemotherapy before surgery (known as neoadjuvant therapy) in order to shrink a large tumor, making the surgery easier. In advanced rectal cancer, radiation can be used to shrink tumors that cause symptoms of bowel obstruction, bleeding, or pain.
system: What are the treatments for colorectal cancer?
output: The need for permanent colostomy is more common with rectal cancer, since retaining the rectum may be difficult. Radiation therapy is treatment with high-energy rays that destroy the cancer cells.
system: How is surgery used to treat colorectal cancer?
output: The main types of treatment for colorectal cancer are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Usually, the surgeon can reconnect the healthy sections of the colon and rectum. When this is not possible, the surgeon forms an opening -- known as a stoma -- in the abdomen and reroutes the severed colon to it. Waste is collected in a bag worn over the stoma. This procedure, known as a colostomy, often is only temporary. Once the bowel has had time to heal, a second operation reconnects the colon and rectum. The need for permanent colostomy is more common with rectal cancer, since retaining the rectum may be difficult. Radiation therapy can be used in people with colon cancer when the tumor has attached to another organ in the abdomen, or if a tumor is found near the margins of the cancer that was removed. These drugs work by blocking the cancer's blood supply or blocking a protein or genetic change made by the cancer to enhance it growth.
system: What are signs of convulsion in children that need immediate medical attention?
output: Appears to have a seizure with uncontrolled, rapid shaking Has trouble breathing Turns blue Hits his head before or during a convulsion Is unconscious for several minutes Might have ingested something poisonous Convulsions, also known as seizures, in babies and young children can be terrifying for parents, and to be safe you should seek emergency help.
system: What are symptoms of akathisia?
output: They include: Drugs used to prevent vomiting and nausea Antidepressants like tricyclics and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ( SSRIs) Calcium-channel blockers So can health conditions like: Parkinson's disease Traumatic brain injury Encephalitis, a type of brain inflammation The main sign of akathisia is a sense of restlessness and intense need to move. To relieve this feeling, you need to stay in motion. It usually affects your legs, usually while you're sitting. People with akathisia are likely to: Rock back and forth Pace or march in place Shift their weight from foot to foot Cross and uncross their legs Squirm or fidget Grunt or moan Other symptoms include feeling irritable, stressed, impatient, or panicked. You may feel like jumping out of your skin.
system: What is tardive akathisia?
output: Tardive akathisia may not show up until months or years after you take a medicine.
system: How is tardive dyskinesia similar to akathisia?
output: Usually, akathisia is a side effect of antipsychotic drugs. It causes movements you do over and over, like blinking and grimacing. But you don't have control over them. With akathisia, you make the choice to move to relieve an urge.
system: What can't you have on you when you get an MRI?
output: Personal items such as your watch, wallet, including any credit cards with magnetic strips (they will be erased by the magnet), and jewelry should be left at home if possible, or removed prior to the MRI scan. Secured lockers are usually available to store personal possessions.
system: Is an MRI safe?
output: If this condition applies to you, you can receive sedation during the exam if prior arrangements have been made.
system: What is gadolinium for an MRI?
output: Certain MRI exams require an injection of a contrast material called gadolinium. This helps identify certain structures on the scan images.
system: What happens after a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam for epilepsy?
output: The results of your MRI should be available to your doctor within 24 hours after your test, Monday through Friday. Your doctor will discuss the test results with you. Many facilities will give you a CD that contains the study that you can carry to your doctor.
system: How long is the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam?
output: The MRI exam poses no risk to the person if appropriate safety guidelines are followed. During the test, several dozen images may be obtained.
system: Are MRIs noisy?
output: Other than the sound, you should experience no unusual sensations during the scanning. Your doctor will discuss the test results with you.
system: Do the benefits of birth control pills outweigh the risk of breast cancer?
output: Since the early 1960s, birth control pills have become the most popular and one of the most effective forms of birth control used in the U. S. But an association between estrogen and an increased risk of breast cancer has led to a continuing debate about the role birth control pills may play in developing breast cancer. For most women, especially young women, experts say the benefits of birth control pills far outweigh the risk.
system: Does the risk of breast cancer associated with birth control pills vary by age?
output: A study of more than 100,000 women suggests that the increased breast cancer risk associated with birth control pills is highest among older women. The study found that the risk of breast cancer was greatest among women aged 45 and over who were still using the pill. This group of women was nearly one-and-a-half times as likely to get breast cancer as women who had never used the pill. But experts caution that many of the women were using older birth control pills that contained higher doses of hormones. Today's lower-dose birth control pills are thought to reduce this risk.
system: My family has a history of breast cancer. Should I take birth control pills?
output: A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that women with a strong family history of breast cancer may have up to an 11 times higher risk of breast cancer if they have ever taken the pill. But experts caution that the study involved mainly women who took birth control pills prior to 1975, when it contained much higher levels of the hormones estrogen and progestin than today's lower-dose pill. Those with a family history of breast cancer related to mutations in the BRCA genes should use caution before taking birth control pills. Women should discuss their family history of cancer with their doctor when evaluating the risks and benefits of using birth control pills.
system: What are some symptoms of enthesitis?
output: Common spots for enthesitis to happen are around your heel, knee, hip, toe, elbow, backbone, and the bottom of your foot. The inflammation can lead to pain and stiffness, especially when you're moving. You also might notice swelling around those areas. Soreness at the back of your heel caused by enthesitis is sometimes called Achilles tendinitis or plantar fasciitis pain at the bottom of your foot. This pain can make it hard for you to run or climb stairs.
system: What are the treatments that can help with enthesitis?
output: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs), like naproxen and ibuprofen, can help with inflammation and pain. If the enthesitis is caused by an autoimmune arthritis, your doctor also may prescribe a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug ( DMARD) or biologics. He may recommend steroids for areas that are especially stiff or painful.
system: What is the connection between enthesitis and arthritis?
output: Tendons are the tissues that attach your muscles to your bones. Enthesitis is common in some forms of arthritis, including psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Over time, enthesitis can lead to: Calcification or ossification: Inflammation of the entheses can cause new bone tissue to form. It's a common symptom of two kinds of autoimmune arthritis -- psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Psoriatic arthritis, which is common in people with the skin condition psoriasis, can affect your entire body. Ankylosing spondylitis mainly affects your spine.
system: What is enthesitis?
output: Tendons are the tissues that attach your muscles to your bones. Ligaments are what attach your bones to one another. Enthesitis is when they get inflamed and become painful because of injury, overuse, or disease. It also can happen in some children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (also known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis).
system: How can inflammation of the entheses affect new bone tissue?
output: It also can happen in some children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (also known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis). It isn't usually linked to osteoarthritis or adult rheumatoid arthritis ( RA), but people with those conditions can have it. Over time, enthesitis can lead to: Calcification or ossification: Inflammation of the entheses can cause new bone tissue to form. That new bone tissue gets in the way of normal movement and function -- like a bone spur on your heel. It's a common symptom of two kinds of autoimmune arthritis -- psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
system: What are common symptoms of allergies in children?
output: For instance, if your child has a mild allergy, such as hay fever, you can expect symptoms such as: Watery, runny eyes Runny nose Sneezing Nasal congestion These symptoms can make your child feel bad, but it's not life-threatening. But sometimes a child can have what's known as anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that needs immediate medical treatment. Many cases are caused by food allergies, medications, or insect stings. Do you know what to watch for?
system: What happens during anaphylaxis?
output: Lungs: Trouble breathing or noisy breathing Coughing, wheezing Sneezing Congestion Tightness in the lungs Hoarseness Heart and Blood Vessels Chest pain Low blood pressure Weak, rapid pulse Dizziness, fainting Skin Pale or flushed skin Hives or welts Itchy skin Sweating Mouth Swelling of the throat, face, lips, or tongue Stomach and Digestion Abdominal pain Nausea, vomiting Diarrhea The person's airways narrow and their throat swells, which can make it hard to breathe. Their blood vessels widen, making their blood pressure fall, sometimes to dangerous levels. Anaphylactic reactions usually happen fast. Symptoms often become the most serious within 3 to 30 minutes of exposure to the allergy trigger. Quicker reactions are usually more severe.
system: What are the two measurements of blood pressure to determine if you have heart disease?
output: That's the force or pressure your heart needs to pump blood around your body. It's recorded as two measurements: Systolic blood pressure: The pressure in your arteries when the heart squeezes (the higher number) Diastolic blood pressure: The pressure in your arteries when the heart relaxes between squeezes (the lower number) Normal blood pressure for an adult, at rest, is less than 120 over less than 80.
system: How does your doctor check your heart rate during exam?
output: He'll feel your pulse to check your heart's rate and rhythm. Each pulse matches with a heartbeat that pumps blood into your arteries. The force of the pulse also helps the doctor know the strength of blood flow to different areas of your body. You can tell how fast your heart is beating by feeling your pulse. Your heart rate is the number of beats in 1 minute.
system: How can blood tests help determine if you have heart disease?
output: Your doctor may recommend a blood test to check your cholesterol and other things that may signal heart disease.
system: What factors can affect your blood pressure related to heart disease?
output: It's recorded as two measurements: Systolic blood pressure: The pressure in your arteries when the heart squeezes (the higher number) Diastolic blood pressure: The pressure in your arteries when the heart relaxes between squeezes (the lower number) Normal blood pressure for an adult, at rest, is less than 120 over less than 80. Blood pressure may go up or down depending on your: Age Heart condition Emotions Activity Medicines One high reading doesn't mean you have high blood pressure. It must be checked at different times while resting to find out your true result.
system: How do you measure your pulse to check your heart rate?
output: You can tell how fast your heart is beating by feeling your pulse. Place your index and middle finger of your hand on the inner wrist of the other arm, just below the base of the thumb. You should feel a tapping or pulsing against your fingers. Count the number of taps you feel in 10 seconds. Multiply that number by 6 to find out your heart rate for 1 minute.
system: What can you expect during a doctor's exam for heart disease?
output: During your visit, your doctor will: Listen to your heart Take your heart rate Check your blood pressure Your doctor will use a stethoscope to hear your heartbeat. Your doctor can also learn about your heart's health by looking at other parts of your body, such as your eyes, arms, legs, and skin. This will let him know if your body is getting enough blood. He'll also check for swelling. If there is any, it could mean that your heart isn't pumping well.
system: What are some simple ways to update an aging loved one's home so it's safer for them?
output: Falls are a big risk. Look for things that someone could trip on, and remove them. Make sure that rugs have non-slip backing. Check on the lighting in your loved one's home. Do you need more lights, or brighter bulbs? In the bathroom, install grab bars in and outside the tub or shower, and next to the toilet. Stairs should have railings on both sides. You may also want to paint the top edge of steps a contrasting color (for instance, a white strip at the edge of a black step) and put non-slip tape on the steps.
system: How can you support an older loved one after the death of a spouse or a partner?
output: The grief can last for a long time. Her feelings might go back and forth from very sad one day, to cheerful the next, to angry after that. These swings happen less often and ease up over time, but they can last for years. You'll want to respect what she's going through, and also encourage her to take care of herself. You can: Listen to her talk about the person who died. Make sure she eats well, gets enough sleep and exercise, and takes any medications. Be patient. Grief can make a person forgetful and disorganized, unable to focus, and less interested in things that used to be favorite pastimes. Encourage counseling -- whether with a therapist, clergy (if the person is religious), or a social worker.
system: What are some practical tips for helping in older person prepare for changes ahead?
output: When you help a loved one through some of the big life changes that come with aging, you'll share of the good times and some of the tougher ones. She might need a little help and feel ready to move in with you or other relatives. If she eventually needs more medical or personal care than your family can give her, you might discuss an assisted living space or a skilled nursing home. Falls are a big risk. Look for things that someone could trip on, and remove them. Make sure that rugs have non-slip backing. Check on the lighting in your loved one's home. Do you need more lights, or brighter bulbs? In the bathroom, install grab bars in and outside the tub or shower, and next to the toilet. Stairs should have railings on both sides. You may also want to paint the top edge of steps a contrasting color (for instance, a white strip at the edge of a black step) and put non-slip tape on the steps. You can: Listen to her talk about the person who died.
system: Will someone need to move when they get older?
output: The home they've lived in and loved for years might not work so well for them now. For example, your mom may need a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor so she doesn't have to climb stairs. She might need a little help and feel ready to move in with you or other relatives. If she eventually needs more medical or personal care than your family can give her, you might discuss an assisted living space or a skilled nursing home. Suggest ways she can get around instead, so she can stay as independent as possible.
system: How can you help an older loved one manage grief?
output: You know that someone going through grief will need a lot of support. You may notice changes in her emotions. These swings happen less often and ease up over time, but they can last for years. You'll want to respect what she's going through, and also encourage her to take care of herself. Make sure she eats well, gets enough sleep and exercise, and takes any medications. Be patient. Encourage counseling -- whether with a therapist, clergy (if the person is religious), or a social worker.
system: How can you make sure if you're older loved one is safe to drive?
output: Make sure that rugs have non-slip backing. If you're not sure, you can ask your loved one's doctor to do a driving safety evaluation and vision, thinking, or memory tests. If the doctor thinks it's OK for your loved one to drive but you're still worried, you can suggest some things that may ease your stress. Ask her doctor to review her medications -- over-the-counter drugs and prescription meds -- to cut side effects. Plan routes ahead of time. Look into a driving safety class for older adults, and encourage your loved one to take one. Keep the radio low or off, and insist on no cell phones or eating while driving.
system: Can exercising my brain help me sharpen my memory?
output: Play games.
system: How can a white board help me stay organized?
output: Put one on your fridge or other area where you spend a lot of time. Write notes and to-do lists on it.
system: How can a GPS system help treat multiple sclerosis's effect on the brain?
