About HIV : Prevent of AIDS, Syimptoms, Treatment And Cure of AIDS

What IS HIV And AIDS

Full Name:- Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

It is caused by a virus name as ‘HIV’. First this virus attacks the immune system in our body. Then make the body vulnerable to many kind of dangerous infections or diseases, even cancer. When somebody get infected by the HIV virus, his immune system goes damage. As the virus progress goes high- it makes the loss of white blood cells in our bodies. It means immune system gets mostly damage. It makes an ‘Anti-body’ that fights against our body. So it’s clear that this time the immune systems are no more able to fight against our infections or germs. After few weeks or months they get other infections too in their bodies. And its one type of cancer too. So here we all clear about that, AIDS is a cause of HIV infection. The researchers says, many people who already infected by HIV, remain healthy for a long time. They become sick after a many years.

HIV Found from: Saliva, Tears, Fluid, Blood contact, Semen, the milk from breast etc. If any mother get HIV infected in her body, then it can be spread her child too from her breast milk. Needle or blood sharing is also one of the reasons of spreading the infection. In operation (when need blood) and any blood donation or sharing program is most dangerous. Researchers say, the sexual contact with a ‘HIV’ infected person is one of the main reasons of spreading the infection.


HIV Infection Is Safe By Following Matter:

• Hugging each other.
• From mosquito’s bite
• If you touch the things any HIV infected person touched it previously.
• When playing a team game and there is a HIV infected player in the team.
• Hand shaking with each other.
• Talking with any infected person.


SYMPTOMS

We already know that AIDS is a cause of HIV infection. If someone have this infection and do not treat yet, then his immune system become very slow and probably damage. Sometime it is undetectable when attack in our body. No symptoms observe since many years (8-10). Here I found few common symptoms of AIDS:
• Sudden fevers
• Chills (coldness)
• Feeling weakness
• Losing weight and feeling sick
• A little pain in lower bally
• Loose motion
• Headache

Most of HIV infected people face this type of symptoms after getting AIDS.


Treatment of AIDS:

• Consult with a good doctor and take the appropriate drugs that fight against the HIV virus. And stop reproducing the virus any more.
• Antiretroviral therapy (Anti-HIV) must be use to prevent the reproduction of HIV virus. Also slow down the further activities of the infection.
• Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) is very important to reduce the number of infection found in blood.

First of all emotional support need for the patient with AIDS. They need to help by other people around him or her. Don’t lose your hope after a few days treatment. Remember there is not appropriate cure for AIDS. If it is found early, then it is trying able.



How To Prevent HIV:

• Consult with a doctor or a senior person about HIV, who have good knowledge of it.
• Never take drugs by injection.
• Don’t share needles. Use each syringe for one person.
• Who have HIV positive and may spread the virus to others, do not donate your blood, plasma, organs, and sperm. Use full masks (medicated).
• Don’t try to hide about HIV if you are infected. Tell your partner about it and avoid physical activities without condoms.
• Avoid breast feeding to new born child if you have HIV. It is better if you check up about the infection before your pregnancy.
• Use protection such as good condoms during the time of sex.
• Avoid anal sex and the partner who already engage with many sexual partners.
• Stop drinking alcohol or smoking.


There is more reason and more protection for this deadly virus. I will update this thread with more details later.

Control Your Blood Pressure: High Blood Pressure and Low Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure:

Blood Pressure is a force which is created by our heart when it pumps or pushes blood in to the arteries. It means when our heart pumps, then blood flows through the arteries or blood vessels. It is necessary to check our blood pressure very often. You can check it at your home. Keep it mind, if your blood pressure goes high or low, then check when you are much relaxed and easy. At the time of checking blood pressure, we take only two readings. One is upper as Systolic Pressure (Heart Beats) and other is Lower as Diastolic Pressure (Rest time between each heart beats). The number of Systolic Pressure is 120-139 and the Diastolic Pressure is 80-89.

Normally we face two type of problem, one is call ‘High Blood Pressure’ or ‘Hypertension’ and other is ‘Low Blood Pressure’ or ‘Hypo-tension’.


What is High Blood Pressure:

Some times our heart makes more force to pump same quantity of blood by the same period of time. If this force or the pressure of blood increase and stay higher by the time, it can harm in our body. If we do not take care of it, then we have to face many dangerous problems in our body. High Blood Pressure is such a things that can be the reason of Heart Attack, Stroke, Kidney Failure and many other heart disease.

This is called a Silent Killer (Hypertension). Because if we have this problem since many years, and we are unable to know about this, then we may get heart attack, stroke, damage of kidney etc. Most of us suffering with this problem. Maximum person feels this problem because of eating extra salt in food, smoking a lot, and the extra fat in their body or over weight.

How To Control High Blood Pressure:

1. First of all the genetic factor is one the reason for our blood pressure high or low. I noticed that, all those people who suffering through this problem are mostly in same family members.

2. Make a routine of regular walk and exercise program in 5-6 days in a week. Exercise at least 30 minutes in a day. With this the blood pressure will be under control by you. If your blood pressure is very high, then do not excess exercise or hard work. Start with light free hand worm up exercise. Remember exercise makes your blood pressure more high for sudden period of time.

3. Avoid salt when you taking food. Most of us mix salt in food to get a good test. But eating extra salt is a result of increasing the chances of blood pressure high.

4. Avoid or stop eating red meat, such as goat, beef, pig etc. Few lean meat can be taken as chicken.

5. Stop smoking totally.

6. Stop eating all those food that contains high fat or calorie. Avoid this type of food, ice cream, any fry food, oily food, butter, the yellow part of egg, few fishes etc. Try to take green vegetables more.

High blood pressure is such a condition, if we once fall on it, then it can suffer a long period of life. Although, we can prevent this problem with a good action or procedure by physician.


What is Low Blood Pressure or Hypotension?

If someone’s blood pressure shows 90-60 mmHg or bellow, then it is call Low Blood Pressure or Hypotension.
It’s happen when the force of blood in to the arteries or blood vessels comes to be low than normal condition.

And many other problems we feel if we have low blood pressure or hypotension.

• If we lost huge amount of blood by any reason or accident.

• If the internal bleeding in to kidney, bladder goes slow.

• Another reason is, if we suffering any frustrated or disappointed matter for a brief period of times, then the blood pressure comes down.

• Eating less food than our body needs to keep running the BMI system.


Proper Treatment and The Tips To Do:

• Drink 5-6 glass of water which contains, some sugar and salt. This drink keep the pressure of blood high.

• Make a habit of regular physical exercise. But do it with few light free hand exercise.

• Mix some salt in the hot water and take a bath with it. It will relief you for few times.

Go Ahead, have A Good Cry

Many of us don’t know that tear has a good effect in our eyes. Tear away besides lubricating the eye and flushing away debris, tears work as the same in the eye that blood does elsewhere in the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients and removing waste products. Tears also improve the image that forms on the retina by smoothing any irregularities on the surface of the eyeball. That’s why all those people with dry eyes may have blurry vision. Tears are a defence mechanism as well their antibodies, enzymes, and other immune components help to protect eyes against micro organisms.

There is much different kind of Tears in our life.

Continues or basal tears are produced for basic eye function, such as lubrication. Reflex or irritant tears occur when the eye is exposed to excessive light, cold, heavy wind, a foreign body, irritating gas(as from cut onions). Psychogenic tears are shed for emotional reasons.

So why do human cry?

I found many of experts to say, crying is a way to communicate needs and elicit attention from others, at least in early life. It release the emotional tension of life. From the research 1980s, psychogenic tears is different in composition from other tears, and its theorized that crying may be a way to rid the body of stress-related chemicals. Boys and girls cry in equal frequency. Women reportedly cry more than men. But how people express emotions, in general, depends largely on cultural and psychological factors.

The Importance of Ginger in Our Health and Life

This is a very common and useful food in the world. It is very effective in our life, include our health. It used in cooking and herbal medicine around the world. Ginger contains many interesting compounds. We are using it daily basis.The best known of these are called gingerols, which produce the hot sensation in mouth. As well as the pungent flavour and aroma. Fresh ginger or powder, adds a unique zest to many of our dish.

After a long time research, the researchers find some important compounds in ginger.

I am providing some recent finding in ginger:


• Ginger has anti-cancer properties. For instance, researchers at the University of Michigan recently found that it keeps ovarian cancer cells in bay-in test tube. This is a long way from saying the ginger can prevent cancer in humans, however.

• It can inhibit the growth of bacteria. For example, in one lab study, it reduced H. pylori, the bacteria in the stomach responsible for most ulcers and possibly stomach cancer.

• In another study says, people with asthma who took ginger reported fewer symptoms, but tests found no changes in lung function.

• Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and thus may be useful as an arthritis remedy.

• Ginger does appear to relieve the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, motion sickness and chemotherapy. If you want to try ginger for nausea and vomiting, you can buy ginger capsules. But keep in mind, large doses of ginger may cause indigestion and nausea, rather than curing them. You can try as candied ginger or ginger in tea. Most bottle ginger in market also contains a little amount of ginger or no real ginger. So be care to buy.
