Health tips people need to know

[Bightening]

You only get one body, the way you treat it today goes along way to determine your health in the long term. What if you were allowed to have just one vehicle your whole life? You'd have to take care of it, change the oil, filters, tires, decide what fuel source is best and a lot more. This might seem like the best comparison, but cars have easily replaceable parts.
These are a few health tips. I added some links so you could read more about your health.


1. Drink Water.

many talk about high blood pressure and heart disease/attacks

but not much is talked about low blood pressure and sudden cardiac arrest and things like weight gain due to water retention due to a duff heart.

if you have swollen ankles, easiiy gain weight even when you dont eat much, erectile dysfunction, and you can get tingling hands and legs easily when crossing arms or legs for short periods. then you should ask about low blood pressure

[Mometaskers]

"You can't outrun a bad diet". Helpful to have food journal where you list EVERYTHING going into your mouth if you are trying to lose/gain weight. This would allow you to access what food to cut out, what to add, etc.

but not much is talked about low blood pressure and sudden cardiac arrest and things like weight gain due to water retention due to a duff heart.

I think this drives home the importance of a regular checkup. Just yesterday I was watching a show that talked about rheumatic heart disease. Scary how something simple that people might not even have it checked can lead to heart failure.

[darkangel11]

Most health problems in the modern world come from food. We're eating worse and worse. I think that in the 19th and the early 20th century we were eating the healthiest. It was the times when receipes were really sophisticated and people preferred a rich diet with lots of meat and veggies but not as much sugar and almost no artificial additives.
Now we're basically eating processed shit with a lot of spices and preservatives and it shows.

I think most people know this sort of thing, and people know that they should probably go to an all plant based diet -- but it's not always so easy and cheap for the average family compared to eating the shitty cheap food.

Much better for you to go to eating all plant based food, but I honestly couldn't do it. I love red meat, chicken, eggs, milk and all those other things too much.

Processed foods are killing us, but we're all stubborn and stuck in our ways.

[BITCOIN4X]

During this time we may not realize that our activities at the computer as bitcointalk.org users pretty much affect health. This activity might cause us to lack rest, sleep, drink and even food intake. The higher our active time on the forum for each day, the less physical activity we can do. If we do it continuously without control then I am sure sooner or later we will experience health problems.
That's why I think we should think about our health because being healthy is expensive. So we are not included in the group of people who are always looking for money, but in the end the money will be used to treat illnesses from the habit of making money.

[yoseph]

Drinking water is the most important and it's actually no surprise that it's first on the list. Since the body mostly consists of water we have to drink a lot to replace the ones we mostly sweat out and urinate out of the body. Most people take in water only when they are tasty but that's not good for the body especially when it needs around 4 litres of water on a daily basis.

[BADecker]

Back in 1977, the doctors in Orange County went on strike for a month. There were 50% fewer deaths that month. That's why doctors never go on strike anymore. They would lose all their business if they went on strike too often.

[o_e_l_e_o]

especially when it needs around 4 litres of water on a daily basis.

Maintenance water requirements are approximately 30mls per kilogram of body weight per day. An average 70kg person therefore needs 2.1 litres a day as maintenance. Additional water will be needed on top of this to replace excess losses, such as sweating a lot from exercise or hot weather, but even then, 4 litres is excessive unless you are obese.

Back in 1977, the doctors in Orange County went on strike for a month. There were 50% fewer deaths that month. That's why doctors never go on strike anymore. They would lose all their business if they went on strike too often.

Nonsense from BADecker as usual.

The death rate for Orange County was unchanged during this strike. What did go down was the in-hospital death rate, because tens of thousands of elective operations were cancelled, meaning the risk of death from operative complications became zero. Emergency work continued, and the death rate for these conditions and operations was unchanged.

Doctors go on strike all the time around the world. A simple web search can prove this.

[franky1]

when it comes to food heath the best kept secret is.. (drum roll for anticipation)


the more processing that is required just to make become tasty, edible. the less nutritious it is

EG
if you cant recognise the ingredients by looking at the meal. it aint good for you
if you cant recognise the ingredients label on the packaging. it aint good for you

[Foxpup]

if you cant recognise the ingredients by looking at the meal. it aint good for you
if you cant recognise the ingredients label on the packaging. it aint good for you

This clearly can't be good for you, then:

[Bightening]

Doctors go on strike all the time around the world. A simple web search can prove this.

Had to go on strike twice in the last decade here. It’s common in most developing countries.

That's why I think we should think about our health because being healthy is expensive.

Being healthy might be ‘expensive’, being ill is expensive. You just have to choose your expensive. Most terminal disease can be prevented by healthy lifestyles, which might seem strenuous but it becomes your lifestyle in the long run.

but not much is talked about low blood pressure and sudden cardiac arrest and things like weight gain due to water retention due to a duff heart.

I wasn’t able to talk about all. Low bp is usually associated with drugs and drug misuse and already know medical conditions, as well as pregnancy. Pregnant moms are advised to check their bp regularly which is a part of antenatal.

[o_e_l_e_o]

-snip-

Oh my god. I have no idea what a "banana" is (I assume some kind of rare exotic food?), but you should never eat one. Pentyl acetate is a solvent used in nail polish and paint! Linoleic acid is used in varnish! Oleic acid is used in soldering! Ethene makes plastic! This concoction of chemicals isn't fit for human consumption!

Better to only eat things with one or two easily recognized ingredients, like a bowl of pure sugar or a lump of fat.

[franky1]

sids(sudden infant death syndrome)
sads(sudden adult death syndrome)

both kill people without warning. many adult athletes have their BP taken and because its not high they are given the all clear.. just because its not high..(even when low) they dont have echocardiograms yet one day they are running along and just drop to the ground, with no warning

[Mometaskers]

the more processing that is required just to make become tasty, edible. the less nutritious it is

IMHO processed food is fine every now and then. They are also what we'd end up storing for emergencies due to the packaging and shelf life. Not something to consume everyday though.

Nutrient loss from processing can be made up with other products. My main concern is we don't exactly know what's going inside the container and thus buying processed is a matter of trust. For example, even a well-known (at least in Asia) luncheon meat brand from China have gone through multiple recalls within the past 2 years.

if you cant recognise the ingredients by looking at the meal. it aint good for you
if you cant recognise the ingredients label on the packaging. it aint good for you

This clearly can't be good for you, then:

Oh my gosh! Every banana I've consumed don't have a label. Could I have been eating counterfeit all my life?!

[sovie]

Now we're basically eating processed shit with a lot of spices and preservatives and it shows.

I was listening to a doctor and he was saying that in soft drink there are 47 different chemicals that our body has to digest. Teawhitners, milk powder in fact every packed food item has chemicals that's the reason why cancer is so common.
I have 4 chickens in my house, just to get pure organic eggs and I also do kitchen gardening to get some pure vegetables.

[ChiBitCTy]

Really great list here.  The one most important thing I stress as you did, the two people to never lie to, your lawyer and your doctor. If you don't tell your doctor the full truth, they can't help you as well as if you had. 

One thing I slightly disagree with...cleansers.  Milk Thistle is believed by many to be a natural liver cleanser.  My buddy's mother was a nurse and told him about taking milk thistle after a night out of drinking, stating it would reduce your hangover.  I can vouch for this being absolutely a fact for some people (all bodies are different). I have taken it for years and there is no question that it significantly reduces your hangovers. Being an ingredient found in many cleansing kits..is this not proof that they can help assist in cleaning the liver?
