What is Glaucoma - Risk Factors and Types

Image
Glaucoma is a condition afflicting the optic nerve, which is the "wires" that connect our eyes with our brain. When glaucoma sets in, it means that the optic nerves have been damaged, which may lead to blindness. This condition is irreversible. The World Health Organization estimates that 4.5 million persons globally are blind due to glaucoma, and this number is expected to rise to 11.2 million by 2020. Unfortunately, there is a very low awareness of what is glaucoma and that it leads to blindness. It was found that 70% of Malaysians surveyed do not know what glaucoma is. As a result, many patients only see their eye doctors or specialists when their vision is already significantly impaired, making it too late to save the sight that has been lost. Risk Factors of Glaucoma Age Existing short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hyperopia) History of steroid use eg. self-medication by purchasing steroid eyedrops from pharmacies Diabetes . Please click on this link to f...

How to Prevent Strokes

Email askfuiping@gmail.com to purchase Shuang Hor Lingzhi to Prevent Stroke. A stroke happens when the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off. It is a medical emergency. The earlier treatment is provided, the lesser will be the damage. Stroke is the 3rd most common cause of death in Malaysia. It is estimated that in every hour, 6 people experience a stroke. There are several measures that can be taken to prevent a stroke. 1. High blood pressure Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke. A reduction in blood pressure reduces the incidence of stroke.

Fatigue Is More Than Just Tiredness

Image
When we are tired or drowsy because we don't have enough sleep, it is remedied once we get some rest. But fatigue is different. It causes us to feel a lack of physical energy and mental alertness. Many of us confuse fatigue with drowsiness. So we force ourselves to stay awake and try to sleep earlier that night. But how come we still continue to feel fatigue? Causes of Fatigue There is a wide range of health conditions and syndromes that can cause prolonged fatigue (more than 24 to 48 hours). Some common causes of fatigue are: 1. Metabolic and endocrine disorders Anaemia, hypothyroidism, diabetes, electrolyte abnormalities, kidney disease, liver disease, Cushing's disease Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is underactive. The gland is responsible for controlling your body's metabolism (the speed your body converts food into energy). When the thyroid gland under-performs, you will feel sluggish as your cells do not have enough energy. In diabetics, abnormally hig...

Does Lingzhi Cause Side Effects?

Image
Some people say Lingzhi is no good because it has side effects. No. That is not true. Lingzhi does not cause side effect. However, there is a particular experience that should be highlighted. Lingzhi helps normalize your body constitution by helping your body to detoxify and improve metabolism. As a result, consumers of Lingzhi will experience a reaction called Healing Reaction (or Vertigo Reaction). Your body will go through a period of discomfort before it gets better. For example, to get your house in order, the spring-cleaning will bring about a period of disarray and disorder first. Likewise, when taking Lingzhi, old toxins are stirred up and begin to circulate in your body again. The toxins had caused you some problems when it entered your body. Now, it won't leave your body without causing some discomfort. In other words, this Healing Reaction happens when stored toxins are being dissolved and discharged from your body . It is this discomfort that has been misunderstood as...

Image
When something is not right with your vagina, whether due to infection or growths, it can affect your overall health and well-being. Many Malaysian women are not familiar with the conditions of their vagina, and do not feel comfortable taking about it. This could be largely due to our cultural taboos regarding sex and sexual health. This article attempts to share with you the signs and symptoms of common vaginal problems, and what you can do to keep it healthy. The vagina is a narrow muscular canal that extends from the vulva (outside of the genital area) to the cervix (neck of the uterus). Vaginal problems will primarily affect your fertility, desire for sex and ability to reach orgasm. Factors Affecting the State of the Vagina 1) Sexual practices . Unprotected sex could cause sexually transmitted infections. 2) Injuries to the pelvic area (vide accident or sexual abuse) can cause trauma to the vagina. 3) Medications . Prolonged use of antibiotics upsets the balance between good...
