Fitnesseccentric's Tip For Health & Fitness By: There are innumerable health and fitness tips by f
There are innumerable health and fitness tips by following which you can get rid of many disorders and pave your way to a healthy mind and body. These are a few areas that you must focus on to keep in shape.
1. Nutritional Basics:
If you ask any personal trainer, they'll tell you that healthy eating is the key to success regardless of your training goals. If possible, eat organic foods and maintain a balanced diet consisting of vegetables and fruits, some complex carbohydrates and proteins. You must eat more green leafy vegetables since they have lots of antioxidants and that can decrease the chances of diseases such as cancer. Also, remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Choose cereals that are low in sugars and high in grains.
2. Make every effort to walk instead of using an assisted means:
We all want it easy-going and nobody really wants to exert physical pressure. Use the stairs instead of using an escalator or an elevator for ascending a height. Any activity that moves your limb is a tool for keeping-fit. Fitness is not attained when you sit on the sophisticated machines of the gym. A little here and there just on your own can help immensely.
3. Seek for professional help:
You might have to take a small step further by enrolling in a gym depending on your health and fitness needs. To fine-tune your exercise program, you can also opt for a personal trainer. The gym and your trainer should also evaluate your fitness plan from time to time.
4. Discipline:
It is the key to sticking to your fitness goals. Whatever technique you have adopted to stay healthy and fit, ensure that your plan/schedule is followed with every bit of caution and discipline.
5. Drink 2 litres of water every day:
The cells in your body are predominantly made up of water and they require staying hydrated for better functioning. One of health and fitness tips that you will not read anywhere is: Drink before you feel thirsty because when your body feels thirsty it is already dehydrated.
Also, having tea, coffee or softdrinks like soda etc do not count towards your 8 glasses.
6. Have regular checkups done:
Keep up to date with your dental, eyes, ears, cholesterol and other health checkups. And make it a priority because health problems caught early can be dealt with.
7. Sleep & Relaxation:
are essential for your body's rejuvenation. Develop a habit of going to bed and getting up at the same time. Routine makes sleeping easier. Other easy ways to relax are: Yoga, meditation, reading books, listening to music etc.(read entire article)(posted on: 2014-04-23)

Things To Keep In Mind While Recovering From Tonsillectomy By: When your tonsils get sore and infected, it become
When your tonsils get sore and infected, it becomes difficult to eat or breathe at night. The doctor may suggest you to have an operation called tonsillectomy to remove the tonsils.
This surgery involves using a conventional scalpel for removing the tonsils. There are other alternatives to this traditional method also. These days, medical practitioners are increasingly using techniques such as lasers, ultrasonic energy, radio waves, or even electro cautery to cut, burn, or evaporate away the enlarged tonsils.
The night before surgery, you're not allowed to eat or drink anything after dinner, not even water. This is because your surgeon doesn't want you to throw up during the operation. It would be a mess. The surgery lasts for only about 20 minutes and is performed under anaesthesia.
You might be wondering what happens after a tonsillectomy? How to recover from a tonsil surgery?
Here are some points to keep in mind for the post-operative care:
• A sore throat normally persists for two weeks following the surgery. There is a significant pain following the procedure and it may necessitate a hospital stay.
• Recovery can take from 7-10 days. During recovery proper hydration is very important since dehydration can increase throat pain.
• At some point, usually after 7–11 days of surgery bleeding may occur when the scabs begin sloughing off from the surgical area. The overall risk of bleeding is only 1% or 2%.
• Pain relief can be provided by relatively mild narcotic analgesics.
• Tonsillectomy is quite more painful in adults than children, although there are always individual variations in response.
• Children who have had a tonsillectomy should be kept off school for two weeks. This is done to reduce their risk of getting infected from another child that will make them feel more uncomfortable.
• Swallowing is rather difficult after having a tonsillectomy. But you must eat solid foods since they help your throat to heal quickly. You must also drink plenty of fluids however; avoid acidic drinks like orange juice as it will sting.
• Ensure a good oral hygiene post surgery. You must regularly brush your teeth and use mouthwash to prevent infection in the mouth.
• Earache is common with tonsillectomies so it isn't a major cause for concern.
• You need to take it easy for a few days after surgery. You can do light activities at home.
• While you're recovering, the doctor prescribes medication so that you don't hurt and can eat and drink with ease. They might also suggest antibiotics to prevent infection.
• You may see little white patches at the back of your throat. This is normal and there's nothing to panic. After the first week, these patches will begin to fall off. You should return to see your doctor for a checkup.(read entire article)(posted on: 2014-04-23)
