Your sinus issues may just be due to Vitamin D deficiency! {Health}

totally unrelated but a funny cartoon!

After like a long time, I am doing a health post. All the credit goes to my friend who had suffered from severe sinus issues for the past 10 days and has embarked on a new research to find out the reason and today she just happened to stumble on this piece of information!

So, what she says is something like this. Vitamin D deficiency is perhaps the reason for most of the respiratory issues, PCOD and even infertility. But, today we are going to focus on sinusitis. First check out the source of my friend's knowledge here.

Basically, any respiratory issue gets inherently triggered by Vitamin D deficiency like asthma, sinus, etc. Also, the surgeries prescribed for sinus issues do no good. What happens is that when infection gets triggered, the sinus cavities get filled and blocked and they are not able to drain the mucus.

Also, if you are prescribed antibiotics, please remember that they are not the preferred solution. Why? Because one is never sure what triggered the infection - bacteria, virus or if its a fungal infection. If the mucus is tested, a proper treatment can be given. 

But, when a generic treatment is done, the antibiotics prescribed are extremely strong in dosage and they do more harm to the body than good. So, avoid taking antibiotics as and when you can. Also, homeopathic treatment has been known to do a bit of good so you might wanna try it out.

Also, the two simple treatments often prescibed for sinus is regular steam inhalation and oil pulling. I must say I am very happy that oil pulling is in the list coz I loved it. Do you remember I shared it a little while back? If you missed it, check it out here. 

Hope this helps :) And, do let me know if you know of something else as well about avoiding sinus and treating it! And, don't forget to check the link above. It is really informative.

What do you say? Do you suffer from sinus? What do you do?

Is rheumatoid arthritis hereditary? {Your Opinion}

I would request you all to please answer the question in case you know any doctor, you are a doctor or you have any one in your family or friends with such cases. I need some information regd. this disease.

For the uninitiated, rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease which occurs mainly in the joints but not necessarily restricted to it. The cause of the disease is as of yet unknown but a mistaken identity flares up the disease. The white blood cells start killing the body's own cells thinking them to be foreign substances. In case of rheumatoid arthritis, they mainly attack the joints.

Apparently, according to wiki, low levels of vitamin D can also trigger this disease. For those who do not know, Vitamin D is extremely important to prevent any disease related to the bones. So, if you are getting less of Vitamin D, I would suggest you to eat a balanced diet and get good dose of sun everyday. Also, deficiency of calcium leads to arthritis so better to get a good dose of it. Waiting for your comments :)

Do you suffer from perpetual hunger or nausea? {Health}

Sometimes, our healths go haywire and we have no idea!! And, then, we have certain symptoms going on in the body which we hardly understand. When I was suffering from some of such symptoms, I asked my mom for help and understood a little bit about understanding my body needs. So, let me share my experiences. 

Perpetual Hunger

This is one of the major problems I found when there was a change in my diet. I am used to eating more of grains and veggies and less of carbs but in between I used to have more of carbs and less of everything else so I was always left with a feeling of hunger even though I would have a stomach full of food. 

If you feel hungry even after having a proper meal, remember to change a little of your diet and inclue more of proteins than usual. Proteins make you feel full and helps in controlling cravings. Also, perpetual hunger might be a symptom of diabetes so make sure you get your tests done.

Feeling of nausea 

This one is a symptom for high blood pressure, as told by my mom. She also suffers from the same issue. And, you might also be really hungry because of which you might be feeling nausea-tic. Also, nausea is a symptom for migraines and, of course, pregnancy.

Going to bathroom continuously

This is one thing which again I found is quite annoying when there is a diet change. Remember that this might also be due to excess of fluids and also, it might be a symptom of, again, diabetes. 

Joint Pains or Body Pains

This can be due to extreme weakness or lack of Vitamin D or even due to improper nutrition. So, you might really want to look into what is bothering your body. 

So, these are few of the symptoms I can remember on the tip of my fingers. Do take care of your health and learn to listen to your body. And, do not forget to go to a doc!

Have you ever faced such symptoms?

I am also deficient in Vitamin D!! {Health}

Guess my surprise on hearing this!! When all the while I used to marvel at how someone can be deficient in the most available vitamin, I found out that I am one of the lot. Like one of the reader mentioned in her comment, my Vitamin levels are almost at 3-4 out of the scale of 30. I came to know of this when I got my complete blood test done. But, I have yet to consult a doctor on this!!

Vitamin D deficiency has become so prevalent now. Even my FIL suffers with the same and apparently someone told him that his knee pains are due to the same reason. In fact, my boss was diagnosed with extreme low levels of Vitamin D and was given shots for it. And, since then, he has been feeling much better with high levels of energy and lesser other health issues.

Now, if you feel tired all the time or drowsy and suddenly start feeling a lot of joint pains and aches, you might want to go to a doc and get yourself tested for Vitamin D. Of course, do not rush to doc right away but analyze how your body is feeling. If you know your body well, you will know when something is wrong with it.

Have you been tested for Vitamin D?
