The difference is, cardiac arrest and heart attack

The difference is, cardiac arrest and heart attack


Some people die suddenly, even if they look healthy or everything is fine. There are no specific symptoms. Some think of it as a heart attack. Many consider heart attack and cardiac arrest to be the same thing. While these two are different. It is difficult to distinguish between heart problems and those of a similar nature. However, the causes of heart attack and cardiac arrest are different.


When the heart stops working due to a problem in the body, it is called sudden cardiac arrest. This is primarily an electrical problem in which the heart beats irregularly and the heart cannot pump blood properly. Due to which the body cannot reach the important organs of the body including the brain and lungs. The heart stops working.



When cardiac arrest occurs, people suddenly become unconscious. Death can occur if not treated in time. Therefore, in the case of sudden cardiac arrest, it is important to start treatment immediately.


What are the symptoms?


There are no symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest. But without immediate treatment, the patient is unlikely to survive. However, cardiac arrest can make the patient unconscious, unresponsive, and abnormal breathing.


Heart-related causes of cardiac arrest?

- Swelling in the heart muscle


- Abnormal heart rate


Other causes of cardiac arrest


- Getting current


- Excessive use of drugs


- To waste blood


- Drowning


What to do


With proper treatment within one minute of cardiac arrest, the patient can be saved. For that, CPR should be provided to the patient immediately. An ambulance should be called as soon as possible. Moreover, if an automated external defibrillator is available in the ambulance, the patient should be treated immediately with that device.


What is a heart attack?


Blood circulation in the body can lead to a heart attack. Oxygenated blood cannot be supplied to any part of the heart due to blocked arteries. If the blockage is not opened in time, that part of the heart will be damaged and arteries will be destroyed.


Symptoms of a heart attack appear suddenly in the patient. In which there is a problem in the chest or upper part of the body. The patient suffers from shortness of breath and vomiting. Symptoms of a heart attack start appearing gradually, a day earlier or a week earlier. It makes the heart beat faster. It is important to know and understand the symptoms of a heart attack in time as it can lead to heart failure if not treated in time. However, the symptoms of a heart attack in women may be different than in men.


What to do in case of a heart attack?


One minute is important in a heart attack. Therefore, a person should be rushed to the hospital immediately even if the symptoms of heart attack are slight.


The relationship between heart attack and cardiac arrest?


Most heart attacks do not have symptoms of cardiac arrest. But most cardiac arrests lead to heart attacks. In particular, irregular heartbeats are the main cause. Similarly, electric problems are a major cause of cardiac arrest and circulation is a major cause of heart attacks.

Risk of high cholesterol

Risk of high cholesterol


Cholesterol risk has become such a problem today that young people, middle-aged people, and the elderly need to be aware of it. It is a dangerous disease that has no pre-existing symptoms and can suddenly cause major problems. When the problem becomes so big then it can be difficult to handle. Therefore, measures can be taken to prevent such a problem before it arises.



To avoid cholesterol, you can plan step by step. With a little effort, you can find a solution to this dangerous problem.


Cholesterol is essential for the body


The important thing is that cholesterol is essential for the body. Cholesterol is a chemical compound that is needed for cell formation and hormones. When this cholesterol goes up then the body starts to ache. This increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and various arterial diseases.


How much cholesterol does the body need?


Cholesterol is of two types. Low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol (harmful cholesterol) accumulates in the arteries (blood vessels) and causes dangerous diseases.


High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is also known as good cholesterol. It works by taking the bad cholesterol in the body to the liver. So that such cholesterol goes out of the body.


The liver makes cholesterol


Our liver produces 80 percent of the body's cholesterol. For the remaining 20 percent, we depend on a daily diet. Meat, eggs, fish, poultry, and dairy products (milk, yogurt, ghee) are sources of cholesterol. Foods taken from tree plants do not contain any cholesterol.


The liver controls the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is absorbed by the small intestine after each meal. Which is stored by the liver. When the body needs cholesterol, it is sent by the liver and removes unwanted cholesterol from the body. When the body stores excessive cholesterol.


When does it become dangerous for the body?


High cholesterol-raising foods increase the amount of LDL (bad cholesterol) in the body. This is called high cholesterol. If the body's LDL is too high and HDL is too low, cholesterol builds up in the blood cells. Cholesterol does not cause blood to flow properly in the body. It causes heart and brain problems. It can also be fatal.


How to detect signs of high cholesterol?


High cholesterol has no symptoms in itself. In most cases, it can appear suddenly. Sometimes it can be seen as a heart attack. As cholesterol builds up in your body, the blood vessels become smaller and the blood does not flow properly.


How to be vigilant?


Cholesterol can be detected by blood tests. It is believed that after the age of 20, you should have your blood tested every 4 to 6 years. If someone in your family has had high cholesterol problems before, you should check your cholesterol as soon as possible. People with high blood pressure, weight gain, and heavy smoking are also good for quick cholesterol testing.


Causes of high cholesterol


Diet: Eating too many fatty and dairy products can raise cholesterol. Eggs and meat-based foods are also factors in cholesterol.


Weight: Being overweight also causes cholesterol. Being overweight can also lead to high cholesterol.


Lack of physical activity: Lack of physical activity can also increase LDL i.e. bad cholesterol.


Age and gender: Age and gender also affect it. Cholesterol naturally rises in the human body after the age of 20. Cholesterol levels in men gradually decrease after the age of 50. While it is very rare in women until menopause.


Besides, some chronic diseases, such as having a person with high cholesterol in the family, can transmit hereditary traits, be affected by certain types of drugs, or even cause cholesterol problems due to smoking.

 Constipation: Pay attention to these things!


Most people suffer from constipation due to a modern lifestyle and an unhealthy diet. Constipation can also be a cause of other piles, fistulas, fissures. The diet we eat plays an important role in all three cases of disease progression, other diseases, or complications. Therefore, it is beneficial for the health of the patients suffering from constipation to pay attention to the unhealthy diet.



Piles

Piles are also called hemorrhoids. If you have symptoms such as bleeding during bowel movements, difficulty in passing, and lumps of flesh coming out, you should understand that you have piles. The main reason for this is constipation. It has four stages.


1. The first step


When defecating at this stage, the lump of flesh does not come out but the blood flows.


2. The second stage


At this stage, when defecating, a lump of meat comes out but after defecating, it goes inside by itself. At this stage, there is pain and even bleeding.


3. The third step


At this stage, when defecating, the lump of meat comes out and since it does not go inside itself, it should be pushed with the fingers of the hand. At this stage, there is itching, pain, swelling, and even bleeding.


4. The fourth stage


At this stage, the lump of meat does not go away even when pushed by the finger of the hand. Staying outside creates a fear of infection. It also causes bleeding, pain, etc.

Fistula in anomaly is a condition in which small holes are seen around the place of defecation. Even in this disease, there is pain and pus.

Alzheimer's disease: a complication

 Alzheimer's disease: a complication


The statistics are alarming, with an average of one person losing memory every three seconds in the world. Especially because of Alzheimer's. In the past, only the elderly had Alzheimer's disease. Today, even young people and adults are victims.


Stating that the growth rate of Alzheimer's disease has accelerated, it is estimated that the number of people suffering from this disease will increase by 70 million by 2030.


In Asia alone, 2.29 million people suffer from dementia, while in South Asia alone, 9.8 million people suffer from the disease, according to the World Alzheimer's Report.



What is Alzheimer's disease?


With Alzheimer's, a person's memory is impaired by drying out and gradually eroding brain cells. It is also called neurodegenerative disease as it is a brain-related problem. This disease causes constant damage to brain cells.


Why Alzheimer's?


Age also increases a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Similarly, 70 percent of Alzheimer's diseases are caused by heredity. Besides, high blood pressure, head injuries, obesity, etc. can also cause Alzheimer's disease, so in recent times, Alzheimer's disease has become a 'thread' for the world. Therefore, it is necessary to spread public awareness to raise public awareness about it.


These are the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.


Symptoms


- Forgetting (forgetting recent and immediate work done within 48 hours)


- Decreased ability to think


- Changes in behavior


- Difficulty speaking and swallowing


- Increased depression


- And, as the problem progresses, people will stop recognizing the people around them.


Stages of Alzheimer's disease


Generally, Alzheimer's disease has three stages.


Early-stage- In the early stage, the patient's friends, family, and other people may feel this problem. However, people with this disease can easily drive and do other things. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. And, forgetting where you put the word you know or the object you use, having a problem with the name, forgetting what you read, being unable to make any plans.


Moderate-stage Alzheimer's disease can last for years if it is in the middle stage. As the disease progresses, the person may need more care. Because people with Alzheimer's often get confused about the word and start behaving strangely.

And, they need to be taken care of all the time, constantly reminded of the environment around them, taught to eat, swallow, and talk.


How to avoid


There is no definitive way to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Scientists are still researching it.

Besides, regular exercise from a young age can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's.

Risk of cancer due to poor lifestyle

Risk of cancer due to poor lifestyle


As long as we live, many processes related to life continue in our bodies. One of these actions is to become cells. In this process, the old and dead cells of the body are destroyed by themselves but new cells are formed in their place. This process continues in our bodies.


However, in the case of cancer, red blood cells, and white blood cells in the body begin to grow unnecessarily. These cancer cells slowly spread throughout the body and interfere with the functioning of healthy cells. These diseased cells are called cancers.


Our bodies, like computers, have many types of coding, which are passed on to our bodies by our parents through genes. Cigarettes, tobacco, drugs, and the wrong diet change the genetic code of our cells and this is what causes cancer in our body. Therefore, our lifestyle is responsible for getting cancer or not.



According to doctors, poor diet and lifestyle are the main causes of cancer. Inactive people, people who smoke, and people who smoke are at risk of cancer.


The risk of any type of cancer is high in people who smoke and smoke. Therefore, to avoid serious diseases like cancer, the use of tobacco should be stopped immediately.


Smoking can cause lung cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and cervical cancer. Tobacco and gutkha can cause cancer of the mouth and digestive glands. Cigarettes are found to be the biggest cause of cancer in 90 percent of cases.


Cigarettes enter the body when smoking bindi or cigarettes. These elements convert healthy cells into diseased cells and these same cells turn into cancer. There is also danger in not smoking cigarettes or bindi but constantly in contact with second-hand smoke.


Alcohol is dangerous for the body and it also increases the risk of cancer. Prolonged consumption of alcohol increases the risk of lung cancer, breast cancer, and anal cancer.


Uncontrolled weight gain can also lead to cancer and other serious illnesses. To control weight, you need to work hard every day.


It is said that if you work in one place all day, you will have to exercise for half an hour in the morning or evening. It is also important for the health of the body that the calories we eat should be used. Otherwise body fat starts to accumulate and obesity starts to increase.

Which oil is more harmful to health?

Which oil is more harmful to health?


Oil is essential to our diet. Oil is essential for cooking vegetables or pulses. On top of that, fried food requires oil. So we use oil in every meal.


But doctors warn that "excessive use of oil is harmful to health." They suggest using controlled amounts of oil. Because there is a need to be so cautious about oil, most of the oils available in the market are found to be blended and inferior.






There are various oils available in the market, from mustard to sunflower. From soybeans to olives. Of these, relatively cheap oil reaches our kitchens. Which of these oils is suitable for consumption? Why


The BBC has published an article in this regard.


So there are many alternatives to oil - mustard oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil. But, what is useful for health?


The oil used in our cooking is often made from its fruits, plants, seeds, and seeds. Oil is produced by crushing it by a certain refining method.


Polyunsaturated fatty acids


The biggest advantage of oil is that it contains a lot of fat. These include saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fatty acids.


Until a few years ago, coconut oil was considered the best for health. Some even gave it the status of a superfood. Their understanding was that coconut oil is less likely to accumulate in the body as fat. However, a study from Harvard University confirmed that coconut oil is 'pure poison'.


Health problems


This is because the human body cannot digest much fat. Unnecessary fats begin to accumulate in our bodies. It causes heart problems and high blood pressure.


A UK government directive states that no man should consume more than 30 grams of oil a day and no woman more than 20 grams. This is because the fat in oil is made up of particles of fatty acids. This fatty acid is either bound to a single bond, called saturated fat. Either is attached to a double bond, called unsaturated fat. It is bound to a small chain of fatty acids, which dissolve easily in the blood. And, fulfills the energy needs of the body. However, long-term fatty acids reach the liver directly. It raises the amount of cholesterol in our blood.


Research on coconut oil says that it increases the amount of low-density lipoprotein in our body. It has a direct relationship with the heart. Therefore, coconut oil contains high-density lipoprotein.


Fatty acids and vitamins


High-density lipoprotein contains a chemical called lauric acid, which is called C-12 fatty acid. It is a long processed acid, which accumulates in the liver. It impairs health.


That's why experts say that the amount of saturated fat in the oil is low, it is useful to eat. But, it should also be eaten in small quantities. It provides the body with essential fatty acids and vitamins.


Fear of heart problems


Some oils are found in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, depending on the plant or oil extraction process. One survey found that the use of olive oil reduced the risk of heart problems by five to seven percent.


Olive oil


Olive oil is beneficial because of the monounsaturated fatty acids found in it. It contains vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and other micronutrients found in plants. Using olive oil also gets rid of harmful fatty acids in the body.


The bacteria found in olive oil are also good for the stomach. It also reduces the risk of heart problems. Olive oil also protects against cancer and diabetes.


It is advisable to consume less oil


Olive oil contains antioxidants and vitamin E. However, heating this oil can destroy the nutrients in it. So it is more beneficial to consume it raw.


However, the amount of oil should be controlled.


This article is based on catering, especially in the West. However, it is not advisable to overheat any oil. The amount of oil is not much. Oil should be used sparingly.

What is the sweetness of life?

What is the sweetness of life?


Generally, how and to what extent any lust attracts a person depends on the level of body and mind. Therefore, sometimes even when we are walking unintentionally, we are suddenly fascinated by a lust. How many people have so much negativity in their minds that they don't feel any smell at all. Because people need a special kind of sensitivity to feel a certain smell.


We must have realized this ourselves. When many things are floating in the mind, then we do not even feel the fragrance of flowers. But when our mind is happy, the environment around us begins to look colorful and the scent of flowers suddenly begins to be felt.






The flower was always fragrant. It was spreading fragrance in the atmosphere. The thing is, we needed something that we didn't have to feel that scent.


Whether it is flowers or other plants. Be it soil or life. Everyone has their own fragrance. It has its own characteristics. But to feel that, it is necessary to have a certain kind of sweetness within oneself.


It is important to have a kind of happiness within yourself. So that when they go out, they talk to the plants. In ancient times, people discovered the usefulness of thousands of species of plants in this way.


For this, they did not need a microscope or any microscopic study. We came to know about such Ayurvedic medicine because the plants said this through various means.


Plants speak when we have nothing to speak about and we remain silent. Only when we have something to talk about do we understand our existence. Gain information about the limits of existence.


For example, about 20 years ago, the use of phones was very low. People used the phone only when there was an emergency. Times have changed today. Every man has a smartphone in his hand. So people today have countless things to talk about.


Yes, technology has enabled us. It is because of technology that we have been able to move forward. We can use such technology for good work. There is no dilemma in this.


But as soon as the battery of such technology or smartphone runs out, then due to the lack of a charger to charge it, we automatically start to disappear. Lack of batteries, lack of smartphones, we suddenly start to feel like idiots. In other words, the main reason for our smartness is our phone.


In this sense, Swadhisthana and Manipuraka are two dimensions by which people can do many things. The further we go, the less capable and more discriminatory it becomes. In a way, it is the result of Manipurak Swadhisthana and Muladhara.


Manipura Swadhisthana and Muladhara are the centers of body nutrition. It can reproduce what the body needs. And, these two together create life. Manipura only handles it. In this sense, manipuraka is very important in life.



Every cycle of life can move in its place. But especially since manipuraka is more dynamic, it tends to move from one place to another. Because this is the place where the 72,000 nerves in the body meet and reconnect. So, people can speed up their manipurak in different ways.


While Swadhisthana is the soul and the place. This is the place of the subconscious mind where life experience and its shadow are stored from the very beginning of human existence.


The mainstream stores all our karma, while Swadhisthan activates it. Swadhisthana awakens clarity and develops a personality.


Similarly, the mainstream relates to the unconscious mind where the karma and experience of the previous life are stored. This determines our future destiny. And, it is also the foundation of human personality development. It invigorates, inspires, and develops a personality.

Must wear a mask until the vaccine is developed?

Must wear a mask until the vaccine is developed?


The world is now waiting for the corona vaccine. But there have been rumors that the virus should survive until the vaccine is ready. The only way to avoid this disease is to be careful. Corona vaccine testing is currently underway around the world. But since it takes time to complete the testing process, experts have suggested ways to prevent it.


According to experts, the virus is targeting people with weakened immune systems. In this case, if scientists believe that the mask is a method that not only protects against viruses, it also indirectly plays a role in gradually developing immunity in the body.



Why is wearing a mask effective?


According to scientists, the mask does not completely prevent the corona, but it does reduce the risk of infection. Any so-called deadly virus, even if you take simple precautions, is not life-threatening. Many people die when they are not aware of many diseases as normal.


Effective mask in research


According to Monica Gandhi and George Rutherford of the New England Journal of Medicine at the University of California, wearing a mask greatly reduces the risk of the corona. One study also found that the mask filters out saliva containing corona. Similarly, wearing a mask reduces the inoculum in the body of any person. Not only this, but this principle was also used in mice. Even then, this theory has succeeded.


The study found that masked mice were less likely to be infected than other mice. This means that the mask reduces the risk of infection.


According to scientists, wearing a mask makes the virus less likely to enter the body.

Symptoms of iron deficiency

 Symptoms of iron deficiency

Iron is an essential mineral for the body, which is essential for our health. All the cells in our body contain some amount of iron. But most of the iron is found in the red blood cells in the body. Red blood cells carry oxygen from our lungs to the rest of the body.

Iron plays an important role in the body to produce energy from nutrients. The need for iron also depends on a person's health, age and gender. Women also need more iron for maternity and pregnant women, while men need less iron than others, according to Nutrition Nepal.


Even for an adult woman, one to three grams of iron needs to be stored in the body.

Similarly, iron contributes to the proliferation of the nervous system. If we have too much iron in our body, our body has the ability to store it for the future.

Risk of dehydration in diarrhea

It is raining. There is a risk of food spoiling, melting, and infection. Even flies and chains contaminate food. The source of drinking water can also be dirty. This can cause damage to the tree or diarrhea.

Diarrhea does not have to be scary. It is easily cured by rest, sanitation, nutritious food, adequate water intake etc. However, if you have persistent diarrhea for more than a week, you should be careful.

If you have persistent diarrhea, further treatment is needed. Negligence in such cases can lead to complications due to dehydration. It carries the risk of death.


When there is diarrhea, the amount of water in the body decreases. If this sequence continues, dehydration occurs. In case of dehydration, some symptoms start appearing. As the thirst persists, the lips and mouth appear dry. There are no tears when you cry. It is buried inside the eye. Symptoms include convulsions, restlessness, and lethargy.

The average person gets the amount of iron they need from food. But there are some situations where the amount of iron supplement in our diet is required.

Is there anemia due to iron deficiency?

When there is not enough iron in the red blood cells in our body, such a condition is considered as anemia. If there is not enough and healthy amount of iron in the body, the red blood cells in the body cannot send oxygen effectively.


Symptoms of low iron in the blood:


-Feeling tired


-Feeling weak


- Dizziness


- Difficulty concentrating on any work, etc.


Boys and girls need the same amount of iron in their body until the last stage of childhood or adolescence. This is because a woman's menstrual cycle usually does not begin before puberty begins.

Newborns need a small amount of iron. They receive iron based on the amount of iron in the mother's body while in the womb.

Babies need 0.27 mg daily for the first 6 months after birth. Normally healthy, breastfed babies get that amount from their mother.

Babies born prematurely need more iron than others. Even low birth weight babies need a lot of iron, according to Nutrition Nepal.

Therefore, in case of diarrhea, adequate clean water or liquid should be consumed. Eat digestible and nutritious food. In case of dehydration, treatment should be sought immediately. However, it is not easy to stay in the hospital in the current adverse conditions. So it is better to be careful than to face any problem.
