6 Ways To Have Healthier And Sharper Eyes

 



1. Sleep more

It is found that lack of sleep leads
to problems like eye spasms. You
can find this very aggravating
although it is not very painful.
Apart from this, lack of sleep can
also lead to ischemic optic neuropathy (AION). This is due to
damage of optic nerves and will
cause immense pain when you
wake up everyday. Glaucoma is
also attributed for lack of sleep.
People suffering from this problem lose their peripheral
vision that ultimately leads to vision that ultimately leads to
blindness. It is therefore
necessary to get a good sleep.
Try reading books or engage in
activities that make you feel relaxed before sleeping.
Remember that sleeping is the
only way to relax your eyes
after a long, busy day.

Reasons to Drink adequate Water

People seem to carry bottled water everywhere they go these days. In fact, it has become the second most popular drink (behind soft drinks).

When your water intake does not equal your output, you can become dehydrated. Fluid losses are accentuated in warmer climates, during strenuous exercise, in high altitudes, and in older adults, whose sense of thirst may not be as sharp.

Here are six reasons to make sure you're drinking enough water or other fluids every day:

1. Drinking Water Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids. Your body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.

"Through the posterior pituitary gland, your brain communicates with your kidneys and tells it how  much water to excrete as urine or hold onto for reserves.

When you're low on fluids, the brain triggers the body's thirst mechanism.

BEE or WASP STING

A bees or Wasp sting is different from other insect bites because venom is injected into the wound. The main danger is from Anaphylactic Shock – where a person has an adverse reaction to the sing/venom. This can be fatal, so prompt first aid and action is required if there are any signs of this.

(1) First, be safe and move away from the area as fast as you can. Bee’s release a pheromone after stinging which attracts other bees to the location

(2) If there are no obvious signs of a severe allergic reaction, remove the stinger as soon as possible (some wasps do not leave stingers). This can be done using your fingernails or a pair of tweezers. Removing the stinger as soon as possible affect the amount of venom injected into the skin.

DIARRHOEA

Diarrhoea is a change in the consistency of the stool to being abnormaly loose or fluid and increase in the frequency of stools more than is normal for the age.
It is commoner and more severe in children below 5yrs of age.

Management of most cases is aimed at preventing and correcting dehydration and treatment of cause.

When a child passes one loose stool, it should be assumed that dehydration will set in even if the child looks well at the particular time.

Thus the mother or caregiver should start the following at home:

(1) continue brea.st feeding, if the child still brea.st feeds.

(2) prepare ORS or SSS (if ORS is not available)

[ ORS = Oral Rehydration Solution, SSS = Salt Sugar Solution ]

STROKE ( cardiovascular accident,CVA )

This is a kind of interruption in the function of the brain due to a sudden shortage of blood. The neurological deficits the victim experiences do not return within 24hours. This is in contrast to Transient ischemic attack (TIA) that returns fully within 24hrs. However,a person who encounters TIA is at higher risk of having stroke in no distant time.

Pointers:

_ tingling,weakness or numbness on one side of the body
_ loss of muscle tone of the face,and rest of one side of the body.
_ blurred or double vision
_ nausea
_ loss of speech or uttering meaningless sounds
_ loss of balance and coordination
_ altered or complete loss of consciousness

WHAT TO DO:

* Remove the heat source or the person from the heat source.

* Remove his clothing if it contains the source of the burn

* Use running cool water (but not cold,so no ice pack) to cool the affected part for about 20minutes or immerse the affected part in water...this reduces inflammation and swelling.
Beer or soft drink can be used if water is not available.

* apply first aid gel (if available) to the affected part.

* Remove any ornaments, jewelries, watches or tight clothing (these maybe difficult to remove when the affect part swells.

* If the person is a victim of burning house...
bring him out in the open space for fresh air...
Check his airway and breathing and clear nose/mouth.
Do Cardiac-Pulmonary Resuscitation, if unconscious or breathing is bad.

If the person is feeling faint,lay him down.

If clothing is on fire...
Cover the flames with coat or blanket and set the person onto the ground to remove oxygen from the burning area.



DON'Ts:

# don't break blisters or remove peeled skin

# don't remove any fabric stuck to a burn

ACUTE ASTHMA

Asthma is regarded as a chronic inflammation of the airway which tend to cause muscle spasm,increase mucus secretion and cause narrowing of the airway. Hence the breathlessness the sufferers experience. Its usually triggered by a factor.

Common triggers:
Chest infection,pollen,dust,fur,smoke,fumes from frying oil,cold,exercise,excessive emotions...


Pointers:
_Breathlessness
_difficulty in speech
_chest tightness
_Wheezing
_Persistent cough
_Poor skin colour


¤ Mild attack:


Short of breath, wheeze, cough, chest tightness.



¤ Moderate attack:
Loud wheeze, breathing difficulties, can only speak in short sentences.



¤ Severe attack:
Distressed, gasping for breath, difficulty speaking two words, blueness around the mouth.

WHAT TO DO:

* Remove the person from source of triggering factor

* Rest the person,usually the person sits up,leans forward with his hand on a table or on his knees.

* Administer his reliever medication,one puff at a time (usually one minute interval), use spacer if available,especially for a child.

* Give 3 puffs (mild attack) then 6-8 puffs (severe attack) waiting for a minute between each puff and, if no improvement, repeat after 4 to 6 minutes(depending on the severity).

* Rush to hospital or call paramedic,if these measures are not helpful.



HOW TO GIVE THE PUFFS

#1. Using the inhaler with spacer...

*Press inhaler once to deliver a puff.

Have the person breathe in slowly through the mouth and then hold breath for 10 seconds.



* Give a total of 4 puffs( for mild attack) or 6-8 puffs (for severe attack), waiting about a minute between each puff.



#2. Using Inhaler Without a Spacer...

*

Remove the inhaler cap and shake well.

*

Have the person breathe out all the way and seal lips tightly around inhaler mouthpiece.



* As the person starts to breathe in slowly, press down on inhaler one time.

The person should keep breathing in as slowly and deeply as possible (about five to seven seconds) and then hold breath for 10 seconds.

*

Give a total of four puffs ( for mild attack) and 6 to 8 puffs( for severe attack), waiting about one minute between each puff.

* After each set of the 4 or 6 puffs, wait for 4 or 6 minutes (depending on the severity). If the person still has trouble breathing, give another set of 4 or 6 puffs.

*

If there’s still little or no improvement, repeat the steps

until ambulance arrives or hospital is reached.

[ Remember to start CPR when the need arises ]

CHOKING

Children are more prone to this. They usually play with small objects like coins,beans, groundnuts, etc. These objects can get lodged in the nose or throat blocking the air flow.

Pointers:
_difficulty breathing
_noisy breathing
_cough or inability to cough forcefully
_loss of consciousness


WHAT TO DO: five-and-five cycle

NOSE BLEED

Common causes:
_picking of nose
_foreign body
_blowing of nose
_allergic reaction
_head injury
_others: tumor,high blood pressure, cocaine use, anticoagulants.

This is commoner during the dry season in nigeria and during winter.


WHAT TO DO

* Put the person at rest,better sitting.

* The person holds his head forward,pinches the whole soft part of his nose with his thumb and index fingers (for about 10 to 20 minutes) and then breaths through the mouth.

* Repeat,if bleeding persist

* Ice pack or cold towel can be applied to the bridge of the nose.

* If the person is a child,distract with TV/stories/songs etc.

* The person should not try to swallow the blood in the throat.

* If re-bleeding occurs after the above, blow out forcefully to clear your nose of blood clots and spray both sides of your nose with decongestant nasal spray containing oxymetazoline. Then pinch your nose as described above while you make your way to the hospital.

* If you're on anticoagulants,control the bleeding and see your doctor as soon as possible.

* Call a doctor if the above does not stop the bleeding or if the bleeding occurs too often.



DON'Ts
* Don't tilt the head backward,the blood can trickle down into the airway.

* Don't bend down for several hours after the bleeding episode and keep the head higher than the level of your heart.

* Avoid picking,blowing or rubbing the nose for 2 days.

* Don't close mouth while sneezing

* Use humidifier at night during dry weather.

BLEEDING

This range from mild,moderate to severe bleeding. And can also be internal or external.
The major aid you're required to give here is direct and indirect pressures. Indirect pressure is mostly for moderate to severe bleeding uncontrolled by direct pressure.

EXTERNAL BLEEDING

* If possible, start with washing of your hand,avoid contact with the person's blood or body fluids. Use gloves or plastic (waterproof) bag to cover your hand.

[ DIRECT PRESSURE ]

* Use a pad, clean cloth or hand to apply direct pressure over the wound for 10-15 minutes (for mild and moderate bleeding). For severe bleeding,keep applying the pressure.

* Remove obvious dirt and debris but do not remove embedded foreign material in the wound. Just apply pressure beside it.

* Raise the affected area (this reduces blood flow to the area),...if it's in the arm,you can make an arm sling with a cloth or any available material.

* Raise the person's leg (this returns move blood to the rest of the body and to vital organs like the heart.brain,kidney...)

* If the bleeding stops, hold the pad in place with a bandage.

* Rest the person and the affected part.

* Cover the person to provide warmth.

* For mild bleeding,pressure can stop it and you may then use ur tools in first aid for dressing of the wound or seek help. Medical attention will be needed for moderate to severe bleeding.

* If blood leaks through the padding, apply a second pad over the first one. If the pad is soaked with blood,remove quickly and apply another pad.

* In a case of amputated part, secure the part in a container or a plastic bag and take it with you to the hospital.

[ INDIRECT PRESSURE ]

* If with the above measure the bleeding still continues (and medical help is not available yet)...SQUEEZE A MAIN ARTERY.

Apply a pressure to the artery delivering blood to the area...

Pressure points on the body:

#For arm:
Apply pressure on the inside of the arm just above the elbow and another just below the armpit.

#For leg:
Apply pressure just behind the knee and another in the groin.

Squeez the main artery in these areas against the bone. Keep your fingers flat while with your other hand,continue to exert pressure on the wound itself.




INTERNAL BLEEDING

Seek medical attention at once.

Pointers:
_bleeding from body cavities
_vomiting or coughing up blood
_bruising on neck,chest,abdomen or side
_wound that have penetrated the skull,chest and abdomen.
_abdominal pain tenderness following a trauma, possibly accompanied by rigidity or spasm of the abdominal muscles
_fractures
_shock,indicated by weakness,thirst or skin that's cool to the touch.


WHAT TO DO:

* Lay the person with the head lower than the rest of the body,or just lay flat if the former is not possible. Then elevate the legs.


NOTE:
Some people would prefer managing mild wound at home. But remember that if the wound is deep or resulted from a rusty,metal object,the person requires a tetanus shot.

Tetanus booster doses are given every 10years.

SEIZURES

This is commoner in children and epileptics.
Note that seizure can occur without convulsion or loss of consciousness.

Pointers:
_unresponsiveness _staring without blink _twitching involuntarily _fall to the floor _rigidity _loss of bladder or bowel control _foaming in the mouth


WHAT TO DO:

* The goal is to keep the person from injury until the seizure stops or until the person is taken to hospital

* BE CALM (mothers tend to loose their composure in this situation) it's important to be calm and reassure other people who may be nearby.

* Loosen any tight cloth or necklace around the person's neck

* Remove any dangerous object around the person even furniture. If in public,clear people around.

* Time the seizure,note when it started and when it stopped. Also observe the character of the seizure (the doctor will ask you all these in the hospital )

* Don't try to restrict the person's movement or hold him down,unless he moves towards a dangerous object.

* However,if if twitch is not violent...you can cushion his head. Turn him to his side(to prevent choking from saliva or fall back of his tongue). Keep the person airway open by gripping his jaw and gently tilting his head back.

* If the person is a child...tepid sponge his body with cold towel

Call the paramedic or rush to hospital.

For Epileptics...

* Rush the person to hospital if it lasts for more than 5mins otherwise allow the seizure to resolve on its own.

* As soon as the seizure ends,quickly roll the person onto his side,open and clear his airway and mouth.

* Allow the person to sleep until fully recovered.but check for reflex responds every few minutes. However,if he does not wake within 10mins or not breathing well,then seek medical attention.


DON'Ts

COCONUT WATER: Overview, Uses, Side Effects and Dosing.

 

OVERVIEW
Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside immature coconuts. As the coconut matures, the water is replaced by coconut meat.

Coconut water is sometimes referred to as green coconut water because the immature coconuts are green in color.

Coconut water is different than coconut milk. Coconut milk is produced from an emulsion of the grated meat of a mature coconut.

Coconut water is commonly used as a beverage and as a solution for treating dehydration related to diarrhea or exercise. It is also tried for high blood pressure.

How does it work?

Coconut water is rich in carbohydrates and electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, and magnesium. Because of this electrolyte composition, there is a lot of interest in using coconut water to treat and prevent dehydration. But some experts suggest that the electrolyte composition in coconut water is not adequate to be used as a rehydration solution.







USES
    Diarrhea-related dehydration. Some research shows that consuming coconut water can help prevent dehydration in children with mild diarrhea. But there is no reliable evidence that it is any more effective than other beverages for this use.
    Exercise-related dehydration. Some athletes use coconut water to replace fluids after exercise. Coconut water seems to help rehydrate after exercise, but it does not appear to be more effective than sports drinks or plain water.
    High blood pressure. Some research suggests that drinking coconut water might lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure.
    Other conditions.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of coconut water for these uses.



SIDE EFFECTS
 Coconut water is LIKELY SAFE for most adults when consumed as a drink. There are no known serious side effects.
Coconut water is POSSIBLY SAFE for children.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of coconut water during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

High blood pressure: Coconut water might lower blood pressure. It can increase the effects of medications used to lower blood pressure. Discuss your use of coconut water with your healthcare provider if you have blood pressure problems.

Surgery: Coconut water might interfere with blood pressure control during and after surgery. Stop using coconut water at least two weeks before a scheduled surgery.


DOSING
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:

BY MOUTH:

    For high blood pressure: 300 mL twice daily.
    For exercise-induced dehydration: variable depending on estimated loss of fluid.

Foods That Benefits The Body, But Harm The Teeth.

In the world of foods, a lot of weirdos apply. It turned out that many foods that benefit the body are harmful to the teeth. Here’s a list of some of such foods…

Milk:
Nutritionists note that milk is a healthy source of calcium. Other top sources of this mineral are cheese, turnip greens, oranges, and broccoli; but milk not only has the most calcium, it’s also a great source of vitamin D, riboflavin, carotene, and retinol, among others. However, despite these numerous pluses, milk can wreak havoc on your teeth — that is if you take much milk while you are careless with oral hygiene! A dentist, Dr. Deola Olonilua, says the lactose (a form of sugar) in milk rots the teeth as much as frizzy drinks do. She warns that even though certain foods are healthy, the presence of certain elements or minerals in then can damage the teeth when the eater has prolonged exposure to such foods. She says, “Milk has a sugar in it called lactose. The lactose in milk can be especially dangerous for children if they have it just before bedtime. This is because the milk will still be on their teeth as they sleep, and the sugars are converted to acids by oral bacteria. The acids can coat the teeth and consequently eat away at the tooth enamel. That is one of the ways people develop cavities.” She advises that people should not hit the bed immediately after taking milk. Rather, she counsels,
“You should rinse your mouth thoroughly after taking milk, or better still, brush your teeth as the last thing before bed.

Lemon:
Though lemon drinks have detoxifying and other benefits, it can affect your teeth in many ways than one. Lemon contains citric acid, which, dentists say, causes enamel erosion and other dental problems. The online portal, 1800dentist.com, states, “Drinking lemon juice can put you at risk for tooth erosion, a condition where the thin, protective layer of enamel slowly wears away from your teeth. Lemon juice contains acid, which irritates gums and softens tooth enamel.” Experts warn that frequent consumption of products that contain acid will eventually destroy the enamel and expose underlying dentin, leaving your teeth vulnerable to sensitivity and tooth decay. “Enamel erosion is one of the most common causes of cavities and tooth loss. This is because when you feast on these fruits for a long period, it means you are constantly bathing your teeth in acid and sugar; this will not allow your saliva to wash it away and neutralise the acids,” Olonilua says. Other fruits in this category include orange, apple and grapefruit juice. The dentist says since these fruits also contain natural sugars, the best bet is to thoroughly rinse the mouth after taking them.

Dried fruits:
In these days of eating on-the-go, dried fruits come in handy, as you can munch them at any time
of the day. Plus, they are available all the year round, and you can stock up on them without any fear that they would rot. However, experts say though dried fruits have admirably long shelf life, their detrimental effects on the teeth are enormous. Olonilua says, “Dried fruits can be harmful to the teeth because of their concentrated sugar content and stickiness. When you eat dried fruits, parts of them can easily adhere to the teeth, while the sugar in them encourages bacteria to thrive in the mouth. This is very likely to erode tooth enamel.” Scientists contend that since dried fruits are packed
with non-soluble cellulose fibre, they can bind and trap sugars on and around the tooth, making it worse than sweets. They advise that after taking dried fruit, brush immediately; and if you have no access to brush, rinse your mouth thoroughly while running your tongue all over your teeth.

Red, white wine:
When taken in moderation, wine is said to benefit the heart immensely. But then, wines do wreck havoc on teeth also. Take the red wine, for instance, which, experts say, is a tasty mix of natural dyes, acids, and tannin. These three ingredients leave lasting effects
on teeth, as they can contribute to teeth stain. Researchers say saliva in our mouth helps to wash away food particles and protect against acidic foods. However, wine contains alcohol, and alcohol suppresses the production of saliva. When this happens frequently, it is harmful for teeth and it may lead to gum disease. In extreme cases, it may lead to oral cancer, experts warn. A group of New York University researchers warn that if taken in excess, the acidic composition of wines can dissolve the enamel, make teeth porous and easily stained. Another study published in the journal Nutrition Research states that different types of wine may have a more negative impact on your teeth than others. The study shows that white wine has an acid content that tends to increase the risk of dark dental stains if you also drink tea or similar beverages. The researchers tested the effects of multiple red and white wines on teeth, and found that wine erodes the enamel of teeth, while white wine has a worse impact than red wine. “Wine is highly acidic, and the acid leads to lower levels of minerals such as calcium and dental erosion. The white grape variety (riesling) was found to be the most acidic of the wines tested,” the study says. Well, unlike the advice with other foods, experts say it is not recommended to brush immediately after drinking wine. “The softened teeth can be eroded by vigorous hygiene, so you should rinse — and wait a bit — before scrubbing your teeth,” the experts advise. Olonilua says for this reason, it’s always a good idea to drink some water after drinking wine in order to rinse the acids from your mouth.

U-Report: Ex-Minister Commends FGN On F.M.C. Owerri

Report By E.N Iwuala President Goodluck Jonathan and the management of Federal Medical Center (FMC) Owerri have been commended for the massive infrastructural development the medical centre has been witnessing for a while now. The former Minister of Interior, Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho made this remark during the 2013 General Meeting of the Association of Resident Doctors of FMC Chapter, Owerri, held recently at the Multi-Purpose Hall FMC Owerri. Delivering a lecture at the event entitled ‘Good Governance; an Indispensable Tool to Improved Health Care Delivery’, the former minister who is the Chairman and Chief Executive of Genesis World-Wide Shipping Company said that Good Governance among other things, is participatory, transparent, accountable, result-oriented, strategic and promotes the rule of law at all levels and every institution. On improving health system in Nigeria, the Ex Minister had this to say: ‘Improving health system requires reformation and political commitment. In addition, to that, adequate financial and human resources should be put in place… Also, there should collaborative approach to service delivery… There should be increased public-private participation in healthcare delivery and government should also provide information and Communication Technology ICT)…’.
