How to Cure Neuropathy in 4 Days

Blog
Neuropathy feels like tingling, burning and numbness sensation in your feet or hands. It can make it very difficult to walk or make you unable to use your hands.

Why Do We Eat What We Eat?

Why Do We Eat What We Eat?

Blog
Why do we eat what we eat? It's simple and complicated. We eat what we eat because we have acquired the taste. An acquired taste for the food we eat keeps us desiring the food that we routinely eat. Over time, we have acquired a taste for the food that we eat and the drinks that we drink. Therefore, over time, we can get a taste for something new. The video below defines an acquired taste. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjpy1fdwGjA The unfairness of it all makes a plant-based diet difficult to adhere to while at work or when we get hungry, or both.

Best Things You Can Do To Treat Your Dry Eyes

Blog
Some patients who are diagnosed with hypertension experience dry eyes because certain blood pressure medications may cause dry eyes.

Therefore, it is very important to drink at least four 16 ounces of water every day, unless this is contraindicated to your health (i.e. heart failure).

How To Swallow Your Blood Pressure Pills

How To Swallow Your Blood Pressure Pills

Blog
Swallowing pills is difficult for some people. This problem swallowing may prevent someone from taking much-needed medication, like blood pressure medication. You should monitor your blood pressure with a home blood pressure monitor for the most accurate blood pressure measurement. Home blood pressure monitoring is the most important thing that you can do to confirm that your blood pressure warrants treatment. Your blood pressure measurement severity in the doctor's office determines if your health care provider recommends blood pressure medication or lifestyle modification. DO NOT fail the opportunity to use lifestyle modification because your healthcare provider will give you blood pressure pills. See the video below that may help you learn how to swallow your blood pressure medication. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI8O59FjQXQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI8O59FjQXQ
