Some studies suggest that getting a massage may help calm the part of the nervous system responsible for involuntary responses to dangerous or stressful situations (sympathetic nervous system).1
Although there has not been a lot of research on massage and blood pressure, some evidence shows that adding massage to your stress management routine could help you keep your blood pressure in check.2
This article will go over what scientific evidence says about massage and hypertension. You'll also learn other lifestyle changes that can help you control your blood pressure.
What the Science Says
Studies have suggested that different forms of massage could help lower blood pressure, but the findings don't always agree. It's also unclear how long the effects last and whether massage would be a long-term strategy for helping someone manage their blood pressure.
Swedish Massage
Some researchers have looked at whether getting a Swedish massage can help lower a person's blood pressure.
There are many options for treating high blood pressure. While some people do need to take medication to keep their levels in check, there are also many lifestyle changes that can help, including:

However, that period may not be long enough to ensure the stomach is empty if an individual is taking certain medications for diabetes and/or weight loss that slow gastric emptying. That’s according to a recent advisory issued by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).
In recent weeks, the ASA came out with new guidance that suggests withholding use of medications like Wegovy and Ozempic prior to surgery to reduce the risk of complications associated with anesthesia.
“Because of the delayed gastric emptying, we’re finding more and more people are arriving for surgery with basically full stomachs, and that’s the one thing we don’t want when we’re doing an elective operation,” said Jodie Emerson, president elect of the Michigan Association of Nurse Anesthetists and a practicing nurse anesthetist in Alma.
Wegovy and Ozempic are brand names for a drug called semaglutide that helps control blood sugar levels in adults with diabetes. They and other glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists like Trulicity can delay stomach emptying, decrease hunger and reduce how much people eat.
Emerson said the problem comes if a patient doesn’t disclose to their nurse and/or surgeon that they’re taking one of these drugs. Without that knowledge, they may begin anesthesia before the stomach has been cleared, which can increase the risk of regurgitation and aspiration of food into the airways and lungs before or during surgery.
If food from the stomach comes back up the esophagus and into the back of your throat, it can make its way into your lungs and potentially lead to pneumonia.
ASA President Dr. Michael Champeau said the association has received anecdotal reports that the delay in stomach emptying could be associated with this increased risk. More research is needed on how these drugs interact with anesthesia.
“These complications can be serious, so we are providing guidance on when GLP-1 agonists should be stopped in advance of an elective procedure,” Champeau said.
Patients who take a GLP-1 agonist daily should not take their dose the day of their procedure or surgery. Those who take it weekly should not take their dose the week prior to the procedure.
If they are on these medications, their care team can take an ultrasound to see the contents of their stomach before surgery and take precautions.
“We’re putting more of a big push on making the public aware that they need to disclose medications they’re taking, as well as supplements they’re taking,” Emerson said. “Honesty is the best policy.”
Semaglutide which was first developed to help control blood sugar levels in adults with diabetes. However, it proved beneficial for weight loss in non-diabetics as well.
Wegovy gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in June 2021. Within a year, success stories of weight loss from users of the weekly shots sparked an increase in popularity.
You should also talk to your doctor to see if another medication is recommended leading up to surgery to help control your condition.
The ASA said patients should consider delaying their procedure if they experience gastrointestinal symptoms the day of their surgery, such as severe nausea/vomiting/retching, abdominal bloating or abdominal pain.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for nearly a quarter of all deaths in this country every year, yet it's largely preventable. That's because the biggest cause of CVD is high blood pressure, which can be controlled by both medication and lifestyle changes.
The problem is that high blood pressure has no symptoms, so around 4 million people in England have no idea theirs is too high. That's why it's vital to have yours checked – it's the only way to know.
Checks are available for free at your GP surgery and – if you're over 40 – at many pharmacies. Workplaces often offer tests and you can buy a blood pressure monitor for use at home.
Cardiovascular disease is a general term for conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels. It's usually associated with a build up of fatty deposits inside the arteries and an increased risk of blood clots. It can also be associated with damage to arteries in organs such as the brain, heart, kidneys and eyes.
It's most common in men, older people and those from ethnic minority backgrounds. And while it can be caused by obesity, dietary factors, smoking and high cholesterol, the most serious risk factor is high blood pressure (hypertension).
In fact, almost half of all deaths from CVD and around 40 per cent of all associated illnesses in this country are due to high blood pressure.
While anyone can have high blood pressure, you're more likely to if you're overweight, eat too much salt and not enough fruit and veg, or you don't get enough exercise. Smokers, drinkers, the over-65s and those of black African or Caribbean descent are also more likely to be at risk.
If you sleep badly or have a relative with high blood pressure, that also increases your chances, so it's worth getting tested at least every five years if you're over 40.
A cuff is usually placed around your arm (sometimes your wrist) and inflated until two numbers appear on the machine.
The top number (called systolic pressure) is the force at which your heart pumps blood around your body while the bottom number (diastolic pressure) is the resistance to the blood flow in the blood vessels.
Ideal blood pressure is considered to be between 90/60 and 120/80 (or below 150/90 if you're aged over 80). Meanwhile, high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90 (150/90 or over if you're aged over 80).
However, if you are measuring your blood pressure at home, it's slightly different: ideal is below 135/85 for adults aged under 80; below 145/85 for adults aged 80 and above.
Between 120/80 and 140/90 means that you are at risk of developing the condition if you don't take preventative measures.
If you are suffering from high blood pressure/hypertension, consider taking l natural all ALISTROL. It’s a clinically tested and proven to lower high blood pressure quickly and safely while strengthening the heart muscle. Click here to learn more:

Millions of us suffer at least one nutrient deficiency thanks to modern diets and sedentary lifestyles.
Yet most of us are entirely unaware, even though our bodies are screaming out for more iron, zinc, vitamin b12 and other essential vitamins and minerals.
Doctors say it is because the symptoms can be easily overlooked or linked to other, more innocuous, health problems.
Constant fatigue may easily be dismissed as having poor sleep or a busy schedule, but in many cases it results from insufficient iron.
The metal is key to ensuring oxygen-rich blood flows around the body; without it, a person could find themselves out of breath.
And if your gums bleed often, it might be a lack of vitamin C rather than a dental issue. A poor diet could even cause brittle or damaged nails.
Fatigue is a symptom of many common ailments, described by doctors as one of, if not the, most frequent complaints across all fields of medicine.
It is so common because of how prevalent iron deficiency is in the population, a Japanese research team speculated in 2017.
Iron is a crucial mineral for the body's creation of hemoglobin - a substance in the blood that carries oxygen. An iron-deficient person may feel tired because their body is not circulating enough oxygen through the blood.
In severe cases, iron deficiency can lead to a diagnosis of anemia - where the body's tissue lacks oxygen because of a shortage of healthy red blood cells.
The American Red Cross recommends iron-rich foods such as beef, lamb, chicken, spinach, broccoli, strawberries and watermelon - among many others - as additions to a diet that boosts iron intake.
Dandruff
Shedding white flakes from your hair can not only be embarrassing - but also ruin your black outfit.
Dandruff is a condition where the skin on the top of a person's scalp becomes dry and scaly - causing it to flake.
Causes of dandruff are similar to those of dry hair. Niacin's boost to blood circulation to the scalp can prevent dryness, along with vitamin b6, pyridoxine, which supports the breakdown of protein and boosts brain health.
Zinc can keep skin cells on the scalp fresh and healthy, preventing shedding.
Pyridoxine is in fish, poultry and chickpeas. Zinc is common in meats, nuts, seeds and many vegetables.
Hair loss
Dry hair can often lead to temporary hair loss, which can devastate self-esteem and other health issues.
But, iron and protein are not the only critical components to maintaining a healthy hair due.
Vitamin b3, known as niacin, facilitates blood circulation to the scalp - which keeps hair strong and healthy. Vitamin b7, called biotin, has also been linked to hair health - as it supports keratin production in the body.
People hoping to boost their intake of both vitamins and stop hair loss should eat nuts, seeds and fish - excellent sources of niacin and biotin.
Irregular heartbeat
A variety of issues in the circulatory system can cause an irregular heartbeat. But dietary causes are often overlooked.
Calcium is crucial to the circulation of blood in the body, and helps regulate electrical signals that cause the heart to beat.
Deficiencies in calcium can harm the body's ability to pump blood, leading to an occasional irregular heartbeat.
Weak bones
Not getting enough sun can leave your body brittle.
Vitamin D, which is absorbed through the skin from the sun, deficiency is linked to osteomalacia - a condition where the body's bones weaken.
This is because vitamin D is crucial to the body's process for absorbing calcium - the building block of the body's skeleton.
Italian researchers in 2021 wrote that links between poor sun exposure and brittle bones had gone back as far as the 17th century.
People who suffer from weak bones will often experience weakness, and pain in the bones and joints and are more likely to suffer fractures.
Dry hair
A few chicken breasts could be the answer for pesky dry hair.
A few different factors can cause fuzzy, straw-like and brittle hair, but doctors warn poor iron and protein levels are one of them.
Like the causes of fatigue, dry hair can result from insufficient oxygen making its way around the body because of a shortage of iron.
Protein is a crucial part of hair health too. Hair is made of a protein called keratin, and a person who lacks it in their diet will have trouble maintaining a healthy head of hair.
Meats like chicken, beef and lamb are excellent sources of both protein and iron.
Bleeding gums
Too much pink in the sink is often associated with dental diseases - but nutritionists also warn it can signal a problem in your diet.
Vitamin C, most associated with oranges and citrus fruits but also found in broccoli, peppers and tomatoes, is an integral part of the body's healing process and supports the growth of blood vessels, muscles and other tissue.
When a person lacks vitamin C, their body has trouble repairing damage caused by toxins in the air like cigarette smoke. When the body cannon repair this damage quickly, it could lead to bleeding.
In the most serious cases, a person suffering from a severe vitamin C deficiency can experience tooth loss or scurvy - an ancient disease most notably suffered by 18th-century pirates.
Night blindness
While humans do not quite have the eye-sight of cats - not being able to see at all in the dark could be a sign of a nutrient deficiency.
Night blindness is a condition where a person has trouble seeing in rooms that are not well-lit. This can include not being able to properly watch a movie in a theatre.
The condition occurs when a person's eyes do not properly adjust to changes in environmental light.
It can be caused by a shortage of rhodopsin being manufactured by the eye - a process in which vitamin A is crucial too.
The protein is vital to controlling the eye's sensitivity in light and allows it to adjust itself in low-light environments. Without it, a person's eyes can lose some function when the lights are dimmed.
Vitamin A is prevalent in leafy green vegetables, peppers, fish and dairy products.
Numb fingers
Hypocalcemia, also known as a severe calcium deficiency, can cause a person to feel a numb, tingling sensation in their fingers.
This is because calcium in the blood is crucial to nerve health. When a person suffers from dangerously low calcium levels, their periphery nerves may start to lose some function.
While it is often caused by just a lack of calcium in the diet, which can be fixed by adding more dairy, not getting enough vitamin D can lead to hypocalcemia too.
This is because the vitamin is essential for the body's metabolizing calcium into the blood.
Cold hands and feet
Anemia caused by iron deficiencies can be responsible for yet another symptom - cold hands and feet.
The lack of healthy red blood cells circulating in the body can leave it lacking it the body's extremities.
While using gloves and socks can help keep a person warm in the shorter, more iron-rich fruits and vegetables can solve the problem over time.
Swollen tongue
Another sign of an iron deficiency is 'anemia tongue', when a person's tongue becomes swollen and inflamed.
Like other anemia-related symptoms, the swollen tongue is caused by the body's failure to circulate enough oxygen around the body.
Vitamin b12, called cobalamin, is also crucial to mouth health - and a deficiency of the B vitamin can be responsible for a swollen tongue.
The substance forms red blood cells, the nervous system, and cell metabolism. A shortage can lead to issues circulating blood - and tongue inflammation.
Burning mouth
Burning mouth syndrome is a condition where the tongue and roof of a person's mouth begin to feel a burning sensation. This feeling can spring out of nowhere before quickly disappearing again in sufferers.
Among the different causes of the condition are deficiencies in vitamin b12 and iron.
Similar to a swollen tongue, both substances are essential for mouth health - and the flow of blood-rich oxygen into the mouth.
It can also be caused by a shortage in zinc, which is responsible for helping cells in the body replicate and repair themselves.
Canker sores
No, the sore that opened inside your bottom lip is not caused by herpes but because you are not getting enough nutrients in your diet.
Like other issues in the mouth, they could be a sign of iron and b12 deficiencies.
But, these sores opening inside the mouth could also be a sign that a person's diet lacks other B vitamins.
Vitamin b1, called thiamin, is a substance stored in the liver that is important to the growth of cells.
Ribofalvin, vitamin b2, is essential for skin and body tissue health. Pyridoxine, breaks down vital proteins for the nervous system.
Shortages of all three B vitamins have been linked to the development of canker sores.
Fish, pork and dairy products are good sources of all three vitamins.
Smooth tongues
An exceptionally smooth tongue, known medically as glossitis, can be relatively harmless and overlooked. But it can also signal a dangerous lack of nutrients.
Vitamin b9, known as folic acid, is crucial to the development of DNA and RNA in the body.
While researchers are not sure why, people who eat diets lacking in the vitamin will often suffer a glossy, smooth tongue.
Glossitis has also been linked to deficiencies in iron and b12, like other issues in the mouth.
Folic acid is found in dark green vegetables, nuts, beans and fish.
Spoon nails
Some may realize that, over time, their nails have developed a dipping, spoon-shaped dent.
Called koilonychia, the condition occurs when a person suffers from a severe iron deficiency.
The decreased flow of oxygen around the body caused by an iron deficiency can cause fingernails to soften and, eventually, lose their shape and begin to dip inwards.
Lines across the fingernails
'Beau's lines' are another fingernail issue that serves as an early sign a person is facing a nutrient deficiency.
Small indented lines across the fingernails are often associated with diabetes, vascular disease and other health issues.
But, in some cases, it could also be a sign a person needs more of the nutrient zinc in their diet.
Zinc helps fuel the growth of cells in the body, and fingernail cells very quickly replicate and grow to maintain health.
Foods rich in zinc include oysters, red meat, chicken and avocados.
Brittle nails
Biotin boosts levels of amino acids that create keratin in the body - which also contributes to the strength and growth of nails.
The flow of blood to the nails is also crucial to their health, making iron necessary too.
Restless legs
Restless leg syndrome is a condition that is not often taken very seriously but can be debilitating.
The condition occurs when uncomfortable tingling and itching sensations on the legs cause them to shake uncontrollably. It is most common in elderly people.
The tremors can disrupt a person's sleep and even to relax during waking hours. It can also be a cause for anxiety.
It has been linked to low iron levels in the brain. Scientists believe this is because iron plays a role in the brain's production of dopamine - a hormone linked to happiness - but have not determined precisely how low iron causes restless leg syndrome.
Irritability
Not getting enough essential vitamins and minerals can harm your mental health and put you in a bad mood.
Vitamin b1, thiamin, b6 and vitamin D are all known to have positive effects on a person's mental health - and shortages in a person's diet can cause issues.
While scientists have not firmly established why, absorbing vitamin D from the sun has long been linked to better mental health.
More recent studies have linked the pair of B vitamins to depression and even found that they work in tandem with antidepressants to help mental health.
Muscle twitching
Hypokalemia is a condition that occurs when the body does not have enough potassium, an electrolyte that helps a person's nerves and muscles function.
When a person does not have enough potassium, the electrical signals that keep muscles functioning are disrupted.
As a result, muscles may start to twitch uncontrollably. Bananas are the most famous fix for potassium deficiency, but other foods such as beans, potatoes and green vegetables are also excellent sources.
Nausea
Regularly suffering nausea in the morning - even during dry January - can be a sign you need more greens in your diet.
Magnesium is an essential mineral and electrolyte linked to the body's energy levels and muscle and nerve function.
Long-term deficiencies can cause issues in a person's digestive system, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and a loss of appetite.
Getting more spinach, broccoli and beans into your diet can be an easy way to fix this issue.
Slow healing wounds
Have you ever had a cut that wouldn't scab over? It may mean you need to eat more oranges.
Like with bleeding gums, a lack of vitamin C in the diet harms the body's ability to replace and repair damaged tissue.
This means that when suffering a small cut, it could take people with a deficiency in the nutrient longer to have it recover.
While seemingly inconsequential, this could increase a person's risk of suffering infection after a wound.
When a person suffers a severe injury, their body may take significantly longer to recover if they do not have enough vitamin C.

Blood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury (abbreviated as mmHg), which consists of two numbers — an upper or systolic reading that represents the maximum amount of pressure in your arteries, and the lower or diastolic reading that shows the pressure in your arteries when your heart muscle is at rest between beats.
But what is considered a high enough blood pressure reading to trigger that risk? To date, scientists haven’t been sure. Now, a new study out of England published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One has answered that question.
“We found that in those with diagnosed hypertension, the risk of Covid-19 significantly increased once the high number exceeded 150 mmHg or the low number exceeded 90 mmHg compared to a target blood pressure (120-129/80-89 mmHg),” said lead author Holly Pavey, a doctoral student at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom who is funded by the British Heart Foundation, via email.
The research found people with this level of uncontrolled high blood pressure are more likely to be admitted to the hospital and die from a Covid infection, regardless of other known risk factors such as age, ethnicity or obesity.
The new study was able to drill down and be more specific because of the inherent integration in the UK National Health Service. That level of data sharing allows access to “really granular data on long-term blood pressure control for their patients,” said Dr. Joseph Ebinger, an assistant professor of cardiology and director of clinical analytics of the Smidt Heart Institute at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
“They found it’s not just the diagnosis of high blood pressure — yes or no — but that the risk goes up as your systolic blood pressure goes up, which is really a measure of lack of control,” said Ebinger, who was not involved in the study.
Unfortunately, many people fail to properly control their blood pressure, even after they have been diagnosed and are on medication, Ebinger added.
“It’s estimated that less than half of individuals with a diagnosis of high blood pressure actually have control over their hypertension, so this is a big problem,” he said. “That’s due to a myriad of factors: underdiagnosis, lack of awareness, medication nonadherence and undertreatment.”
On the positive side, successfully reducing blood pressure through medication was linked with a corresponding reduction in risk for severe Covid, the new study found.
“It is really important for individuals to have regular blood pressure checks and for doctors to try and get their patients’ blood pressure controlled,” Pavey said.
“Controlling the blood pressure to target levels is important, irrespective of the type of treatment used to achieve it,” she said. “Ultimately blood pressure control will help to reduce the risk of suffering severely from new strains of Covid-19 or other viruses in the future.”
A primer on blood pressure
Blood pressure readings can be confusing — there are a lot of numbers tossed around, and medical professionals haven’t exactly made it easy for people to follow along.
“Normal” blood pressure readings are typically 120 mmHg systolic (upper reading) over 80 mmHg dystolic (lower reading), according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That’s likely the number you’ll hear mentioned most often. However, that may not be the number your doctor uses to treat you, Ebinger said.
Doctors used to target a blood pressure reading of less than 140/90 to control risk for cardiovascular disease and death, he explained. Then, in 2015, results of SPRINT, or the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial, were published in The New England Journal of Medicine — findings that changed the thinking of many medical professionals.
The SPRINT research found targeting a blood pressure below 120 systolic (the top number) in people with hypertension — but no diabetes — prevented the most cases of heart disease and death. There were some side effects, however, including a “higher rate of acute kidney injury or acute renal failure in the intensive-treatment group,” according to the trial.
That possibility was concerning when it came to the elderly, who often have multiple chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, kidney concerns and more, Ebinger said.
“So in 2017, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines shot the gap and set the guideline of a systolic reading less than 130 and a diastolic of less than 80,” Ebinger said. “And this is where some of the debate starts to come in between different types of doctors. I’m a cardiologist, and we believe lower is better. We want to push that number down as much as we can.
“Some primary care doctors and geriatricians might say, ‘You know what, that may not be the best thing for some of my patients,’ and they’re going to treat to a higher number,” he said. “So this is where clinical practice and some of the guidelines don’t always add up.”
Here are current medical guidelines, according to the US Food and Drug Administration:
A typical normal blood pressure is 120/80 or lower.
Readings between 120/80 and 129/89 are considered pre-hypertension, meaning it’s not as low as it should be but is not yet considered high blood pressure medically.
Blood pressure is a stage 1 red flag high if it reads 130/80.
Blood pressure of 140/90 or higher is considered stage 2 hypertension.
If your blood pressure reads 180/110 or higher more than once, seek out medical treatment immediately. A reading at this high level is a “hypertensive crisis,” the FDA said.
Bottom line? Take your blood pressure often (here’s how to do it right) and check in with your doctor on a regular basis.
Consider taking all natural ALISTROL which is a clinically tested and proven remedy to lower high blood pressure quickly and safely.
]]>In collaboration with Environics Research, the survey, conducted online, asked 982 health experts, including doctors, nurses, first responders and therapists, what they are most concerned about for Canadians. Seven in 10 respondents said they are concerned many aren't aware of what hypertension is or how to detect if they have it.
Hypertension occurs when blood pressure in the arteries rises, causing the heart to exert itself to pump blood into a person's blood vessels. Currently, one in four Canadians are affected by high blood pressure, according to the foundation.
Toronto-based family physician, Dr. Rahul Jain says there are a myriad of reasons as to why high blood pressure is on the rise, including lack of education among Canadians, lack of accessible health care and increased challenges from the pandemic.
Jain says the survey highlights Canada's need to improve on three essential pillars: prevention detection, treatment and education.
"There's many potential opportunities, and I think they really fall under raising awareness to education, which is key, and then also working on prevention detection and treatment," Jain told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview on Tuesday.
The survey found seven in 10 healthcare professionals are worried demographics at the highest risk of hypertension are facing barriers to lack support and treatment for hypertension, specifically women.
According to the heart and stroke foundation, treatment for women has gone down over the last 10 years, which has become a concern since different groups of women are already at risk for hypertension due to uncontrollable factors.
"Some groups in Canada are at higher risk of developing high blood pressure, including women over age 65 in certain ethnic groups, such as those of South Asian and African heritage," Jain said. "We also see hypertension in pregnancy as an important risk factor for future stroke and heart disease."
Factors like ethnicity, family history and gender all play a role in the increased risk of hypertension. However, outside factors like the pandemic have made access to health care difficult for many as hospitals and doctor's offices at times can become overwhelmed, and patients being less likely to visit their family physician for help.
"If patients weren't coming into our clinics as often, you know, we might be missing those new conditions that are going undiagnosed and then potentially causing damage to the body and existing conditions for people to have established hypertension are often worsening," he said.
Jain says it's essential for Canadians to stay informed about what hypertension is and how to prevent it, as its effects can lead to damaged organs, including the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes.
"We can use the analogy of high blood pressure, being similar to pumping too much air into a tire or balloon, which can eventually become damaged and burst if the pressure is too high," he said.
While people with high blood pressure don't show warning signs or symptoms of the condition, Jain recommends Canadians seek out medical help to determine their risk of hypertension and work on preventative measures like increasing physical activity, monitoring the foods they eat and not drinking or smoking.
Additionally, Canadians can also use medically approved at-home devices or blood pressure monitors at pharmacies to keep track of their heart health.
"We encourage everyone to get their blood pressure checked regularly, and this can be at your health care provider's office, but we also encourage out-of-office measurements, which are reliable, such as measuring your blood pressure at home with an approved device or at the pharmacy," he said.
If you are suffering from high blood pressure and are looking for a natural remedy, consider taking all natural ALISTROL. It’s clinically tested, proven and Doctor recommended.
]]>Some days it can feel all too easy to stay in bed or lounge on the sofa.
But meeting your daily step goal really does work to prevent important illnesses, according to new research.
A team from Vanderbilt University Medical Centre asked more than 6,000 participants to wear Fitbit activity trackers for at least 10 hours a day.
The study lasted four years and during this time participants' health records were also recorded.
Analysis revealed taking more than 8,200 steps a day – the equivalent of walking around four miles – was found to protect against the likes of obesity, sleep apnoea, high blood pressure and major depressive disorder.
The results also suggested that overweight individuals can reduce their risk of becoming obese by 64 per cent if they increased their daily steps from 6,000 to 11,000.
As the number of steps increased, risk declined for most conditions.
However the risk of hypertension and diabetes did not decline further after participants reached around 8,000-9,000 steps per day.
The authors said people who wear Fitbits tend to be more active than the average adult.
Yet 'the fact that we were able to detect robust associations between steps and…disease in this active sample suggests even stronger associations may exist in a more sedentary population'.
The team said their findings provide a necessary first step toward the development of personalised activity prescriptions.
Writing in the journal Nature Medicine, they said: 'We examined the association between step count volume and intensity across the entire spectrum of human disease using commercial activity monitors linked to an individual's electronic health records.
'We identified consistent and statistically significant associations between activity levels and incident diabetes, hypertension, gastroesophageal reflux disease, major depressive disorder, obesity and sleep apnoea.
'Taking more steps each day was related to lower risk of developing these chronic diseases.
'Higher step counts were associated with protection from obesity in a high-risk population.'
Polls suggest more than a quarter of UK adults now own an exercise tracker of some kind, with a third of those in possession using theirs every single day.
Figures are similar in the US.
In this study, the data showed that participants took on average 7,731 steps per day.
In 2018 Public Health England and the Royal College of GPs said people should focus on walking briskly rather than just counting steps to improve their health.
As part of a push to get adults doing more moderate intensity physical activity, they said just 10 minutes of brisk walking a day could reduce their risk of early death by up to 15 per cent.

A new report from the Alzheimer Society of Canada predicts nearly one million people in the country will be living with dementia by the end of the decade.
The report, "Navigating the Path Forward for Dementia in Canada," says this represents more than a 65 percent increase from the estimated 597,300 Canadians living with dementia in 2020.
That year, there were 124,000 new cases of dementia diagnosed in Canada, or 15 every hour. By 2030, the report says this will increase to 187,000 new cases annually, or 21 each hourAs Canada's population becomes increasingly older, the number of new cases each year will rise to more than 250,000 annually in the 2040s, the report predicts.
By 2050, the number of people living with dementia in Canada will increase to more than 1.7 million, nearly three times more compared to 2020.
About 1.6 per cent of the Canadian population had dementia in 2020. This is now expected to increase to 3.6 per cent by 2050, the report says.
"There is some hopeful news on reducing risk and delaying the onset of dementia," the report says. "However, population aging in Canada means we will continue to see ongoing increases in the number of people affected by dementia."
The report describes dementia as a set of symptoms caused by certain disruptions to healthy brain functioning. Symptoms may include memory loss, difficulties with attention, problem solving and language, changes in mood and behaviour, and issues with vision, balance and movement.
While the study's authors describe Alzheimer's disease as the illness that causes changes to brain structure years before these symptoms emerge, Alzheimer's dementia refers to the later stage of the disease when those problems become evident.
Other types of dementia exist, but Alzheimer's dementia is considered the most common, the report says.
Although a number of risk factors exist for dementia, the report says age is the most important, with most but not all people who develop dementia being older than 65. The risk of dementia roughly doubles every five years after 65, with nearly one in four Canadians diagnosed after 85.
Women, who tend to live longer than men do, make up a greater share of people living with dementia in Canada and around the world.
All provinces will see an increase in cases as long as current trends continue, the society says, although the situations will vary depending on demographics, migration patterns and risk factors for dementia.
As part of the study, the society calculated the number of hours invested by those, such as family members, friends and neighbours, who care for people with dementia.
There were 350,000 care partners in 2020 providing an average of 26 hours of care per week, the report says, amounting to 470 million hours of care in a year, or the equivalent of 235,000 full-time jobs.
Based on current projections, the study expects the number of care partners in Canada to increase to more than one million by 2050, providing nearly 1.4 billion hours of care in a year, or the equivalent of more than 690,000 full-time jobs.
The Alzheimer Society also calculated how many fewer new cases of dementia there would be if the risk of dementia were lowered generally for everyone.
Under these hypothetical scenarios, the society says delaying the onset of dementia by even one year would result in nearly 500,000 fewer new cases by 2050.
A 10-year delay, meanwhile, would lead to more than four million fewer new cases by the same year and reduce the number of hours needed for care by almost one billion annually.
The report cites another study, which found that 12 risk factors — lack of education, hearing loss, traumatic brain injury, hypertension, alcohol misuse, obesity, smoking, depression, social isolation, physical inactivity, air pollution and diabetes — account for approximately 40 percent of dementia cases worldwide.
"Just by delaying the onset of these by one year could actually have a really profound impact on the number of people having dementia," Alzheimer Society of Ontario CEO Cathy Barrick told CTV News Channel on Tuesday.
The Alzheimer Society report adds that evidence also shows overlapping or multiple risk factors further increase the risk of dementia.
"We have an incomplete understanding of risk and protective factors for dementia development and the progression of dementia — more needs to be done," the study's authors write. "This is especially important as there is no known cure for dementia."

This decline can be reduced, however, if patients with blood pressure numbers above the normal range of 120/80 mm Hg were given antihypertensive drugs.
In the UK, it is estimated that a quarter of the adult population — some 14.4 million people — have hypertension. Of these, five million are undiagnosed and at risk.
In their study, preventative and social medicine expert Sandhi Barreto and colleagues at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte, Brazil followed 7,000 adults — with an average age of 59 — for a four-year period.
The team tested the participants' memories, verbal fluency and so-called executive function — which includes such attributes as attention and concentration.
'We initially anticipated that the negative effects of hypertension on cognitive function would be more critical when hypertension started at a younger age,' said Professor Barreto.
'However, our results show similar accelerated cognitive performance decline whether hypertension started in middle age or at older ages.'
In addition, the team noted that cognitive decline was accelerated in those individuals with uncontrolled, compared with controlled, hypertension.
'We also found that effectively treating high blood pressure at any age in adulthood could reduce or prevent this acceleration,' Professor Barreto continued.
'In addition to other proven benefits of blood pressure control, our results highlight the importance of diagnosing and controlling hypertension in patients of any age to prevent or slow down cognitive decline.'
'Our results also reinforce the need to maintain lower blood pressure levels throughout life, since even prehypertension levels were associated with cognitive decline.'

They called for ‘more aggressive prevention efforts’ to limit the disease dementia cases will triple by 2050 unless people adopt healthier lifestyles and education improves, a major study suggests.
Experts warn of a potential dementia time bomb, with 153 million living with the condition worldwide within decades.
This is up from 57 million in 2019, with the soaring numbers fuelled by growing and ageing populations as well as poor diets and a lack of exercise.
Researchers are now calling for ‘more aggressive prevention efforts’ to limit the disease.
This includes improvements to education, diet and physical activity, better access to health and social care and reduced rates of smoking. More funding is also needed to discover effective drugs, according to the Global Burden of Disease study.
The first comprehensive analysis of dementia prevalence, led by the University of Washington, included data from 195 countries and territories. It examined the impact of expected trends in smoking, obesity, high blood sugar and low education, which are known to increase dementia risk.
The findings, published in The Lancet Public Health journal, said improved access to education could lead to 6.2million fewer cases of dementia worldwide by 2050. But this decrease could be more than offset by a projected 6.8million additional cases linked to obesity, high blood sugar, and smoking.
Women with dementia outnumbered men with dementia 100 to 69 in 2019 and this pattern is expected to remain in 2050.
Dementia cases are expected to rise in every country, with the smallest increases likely in high-income Asia Pacific (53 per cent) and the largest growth in north Africa and the Middle East (367 per cent).
The number of dementia cases in the UK is forecast to increase by 75 per cent, from 907,000 in 2019 to almost 1.6million in 2050.
Lead author Emma Nichols said: ‘We need to focus more on prevention and control of risk factors before they result in dementia. For most, this means scaling up locally appropriate, low-cost programmes that support healthier diets, more exercise, quitting smoking, and better access to education.

]]>In 2017, new guidelines from the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and nine other health organizations lowered the numbers for the diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure) to 130/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and higher for all adults. The previous guidelines set the threshold at 140/90 mm Hg for people younger than age 65 and 150/80 mm Hg for those ages 65 and older.
This means 70% to 79% of men ages 55 and older are now classified as having hypertension. That includes many men whose blood pressure had previously been considered healthy. Why the change?
Behind the numbers
"Blood pressure guidelines are not updated at regular intervals. Instead, they are changed when sufficient new evidence suggests the old ones weren't accurate or relevant anymore," says Dr. Paul Conlin, an endocrinologist with Harvard-affiliated VA Boston Healthcare System and Brigham and Women's Hospital. "The goal now with the new guidelines is to help people address high blood pressure — and the problems that may accompany it like heart attack and stroke — much earlier."
The new guidelines stem from the 2017 results of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), which studied more than 9,000 adults ages 50 and older who had systolic blood pressure (the top number in a reading) of 130 mm Hg or higher and at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The study's aim was to find out whether treating blood pressure to lower the systolic number to 120 mm Hg or less was superior to the standard target of 140 mm Hg or less. The results found that targeting a systolic pressure of no more than 120 mm Hg reduced the chance of heart attacks, heart failure, or stroke over a three-year period.
More than blood pressure
The new guidelines have other changes, too. First, they don't offer different recommendations for people younger or older than age 65. "This is because the SPRINT study looked at all patients regardless of age and didn't break down groups above or below a certain age," says Dr. Conlin.
The guidelines also redefined the various categories of hypertension. It eliminated the category of prehypertension, which had been defined as systolic blood pressure of 120 to 139 mm Hg or diastolic pressure (the lower number in a reading) of 80 to 89 mm Hg. Instead, people with those readings are now categorized as having either elevated pressure (120 to 129 systolic and less than 80 diastolic) or Stage 1 hypertension (130 to 139 systolic or 80 to 89 diastolic).
A reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher is considered Stage 2 hypertension, and anything higher than 180/120 mm Hg is hypertensive crisis.
Check your blood pressure at home
The new guidelines note that blood pressure should be measured on a regular basis and encourage people to use home blood pressure monitors. Monitors can range from $40 to $100 on average, but your insurance may cover part or all of the cost. Measure your blood pressure a few times a week and see your doctor if you notice any significant changes. Here are some tips on how to choose and use a monitor.
If you had previously been diagnosed with high blood pressure, the new guidelines don't affect you too much, says Dr. Conlin, as you still need to continue your efforts to lower it through medication, diet, exercise, and weight loss. "However, based on new information in the guidelines, your doctor may propose treating your blood pressure to a lower level," he says. In addition, high blood pressure sufferers can also take the clinically proven natural remedy all natural Alistrol daily to lower their high blood pressure safely and quickly.
The larger issue is that many men ages 65 and older suddenly find themselves diagnosed with elevated or high blood pressure, since the new normal is a whopping 20 points lower than before. Does this mean an automatic prescription for blood pressure drugs? Not necessarily.
"They should consult with their doctor about first adjusting lifestyle habits, such as getting more exercise, losing weight, and following a heart-healthy diet like the DASH or Mediterranean diet," says Dr. Conlin.
]]>When you’re past 50, some ailments can announce themselves suddenly and painfully. And aches and ouches you might not worry much about when you’re younger could be a sign of bigger problems in middle age.
Heart Attack
This is the big one: 735,000 people have one every year. A 50-year-old man has a 1 in 2 chance of getting heart disease at some point. The most common signs are chest pain, shortness of breath, and pain in your back, shoulders, or neck. You might also feel sweaty, dizzy, or like you’re going to throw up. Your risk is lower if you’re at a healthy weight, don’t smoke, and get regular exercise.
Stroke
This is when blood doesn’t get to parts of your brain like it should, and those brain cells start to die. Get help right away if you have sudden weakness or numbness in your face, arms, or legs, you lose your bearings or get confused, and have trouble speaking. You can lower your odds if you keep your blood pressure in check, eat a low-cholesterol diet, manage your stress, exercise, and quit smoking.
Aneurysm
Many of the lifestyle changes you make to lower your risk of heart disease and stroke can make you less likely to have this as well. An aneurysm happens when the wall of an artery gets weak and bulges outward. If that wall gives way, it can lead to serious internal bleeding or a stroke. Symptoms can include pain, nausea, dizziness, clammy skin, and a rapid heartbeat.
Gallstones
These are hardened chunks of bile, a fluid that helps your body get rid of waste. They get stuck on the way out of your gallbladder, a small organ below your liver. They can range in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball and can cause severe pain in your upper belly or behind your belly button. You're more likely to get them if you’re obese, have diabetes or Crohn’s disease, or don’t exercise.
Acute Pancreatitis
Sometimes, gallstones can set this off. It’s inflammation of the pancreas, which makes enzymes and hormones like insulin that help with digestion. It causes severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and a fever, and can be life-threatening. Seek medical help immediately if you have these symptoms. It also can be caused by heavy drinking, high levels of calcium, or a kind of fat called triglycerides.
Broken Bones
These can happen at any age, but your bones may become brittle as you get older and be more likely to break. A loss of bone is known as osteoporosis, and it's especially common in older women. Calcium and vitamin D can help slow it or stop it from getting worse, and certain drugs can help you keep bone, or even help you rebuild it.
Vertigo
If you suddenly find yourself dizzy, you might have vertigo. It can happen if tiny crystals in your inner ear, which help you control your balance, get moved around. You’re more likely to get it as you get older, probably because the crystals aren’t held in place as well. Your doctor can treat it with a series of head movements that move those particles back into place.
Detached Retina
Your retina is a light-sensitive layer in your eye that tells your brain what you see. If it pulls away from the outer wall of your eye, it won't get oxygen and other things it needs. You might see floating specks or flashes of light. You can permanently lose your eyesight, so see a doctor right away. It’s more common in people who are very nearsighted or have had cataract surgery or other eye diseases.
Kidney Stones
These are hard clumps, usually made of calcium, that form in your kidneys. They often pass harmlessly out of your body, but larger ones can be extremely painful and cause bleeding or infections or block the flow of urine. They’re more common in men than women. You can help prevent them by drinking plenty of fluids every day. Water is best.
Pneumonia
People over 50 are at higher risk of the kind of pneumonia caused by bacteria, not the one caused by a virus. Called pneumococcal pneumonia, it can be life-threatening. Older people are more likely to get it because your body’s immune system gets weaker as you age. But there are vaccine for it, and the CDC recommends them for everyone over 65.
Spinal Stenosis
This develops slowly, but it can make itself known suddenly. It happens when the channel in your backbone that holds your spinal cord and other nerves narrows, usually because of arthritis. The nerves can be pinched or squeezed, causing pain, numbness, or cramps in your lower back or neck. It can be treated with drugs or physical therapy, or, in some cases, surgery.
Gout
This condition shows up as a sudden pain and swelling in one of your joints, often a big toe. It’s a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in your body. If you take certain medications for high blood pressure, eat red meat and shellfish, or drink alcohol, you’re at higher risk. The soda sweetener known as fructose also raises your risk, and so does obesity.
This is when a blood clot gets stuck in a blood vessel in one of your lungs. Your chances of having one go up after age 50, and it can be serious, so get medical help fast if you have chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, and dizziness. You also can have a cough that may even bring up some blood, leg pains, and clammy or bluish skin. The blood clot often starts in your leg, so an early sign might be swelling or pain in one of your calves.
Your risk goes up if you’ve had heart disease or recent surgery, or you were in a cramped position (like in an airplane or car) for a long stretch of time.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, rarely has noticeable symptoms. But if untreated, it increases your risk of serious problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
More than one in four adults in the UK have high blood pressure, although many won't realise it.
The only way to find out if your blood pressure is high is to have your blood pressure checked.
Blood pressure is recorded with two numbers. The systolic pressure (higher number) is the force at which your heart pumps blood around your body.
The diastolic pressure (lower number) is the resistance to the blood flow in the blood vessels. They're both measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg).
As a general guide:
If your blood pressure is too high, it puts extra strain on your blood vessels, heart and other organs, such as the brain, kidneys and eyes.
Persistent high blood pressure can increase your risk of a number of serious and potentially life-threatening conditions, such as:

]]>Researchers broke down blood tests from 200,000 Britons matured somewhere in the range of 40 and 70.
They found that 2,000 of them had extremely high glucose levels, demonstrating they had diabetes, yet had not yet been determined to have the condition.
This proposes 1 percent of the UK – over a large portion of a million people – could be living with type 2 diabetes without knowing it.
The examination by the University of Exeter recommended that a public screening system ought to be acquired to improve finding.
Specialists said indications of type 2 diabetes, which incorporate as often as possible setting off to the latrine, being parched and feeling tired, are not entirely obvious, particularly during the beginning phases.
Co-creator Dr Katherine Young, stated: 'As individuals can have type 2 diabetes for a long time without indications, analysis might be deferred, expanding the danger of entanglements.
'Our investigation shows that populace level screening could recognize instances of type 2 diabetes far prior and possibly diminish inconveniences.'
Diabetes is generally analyzed by estimating the degree of HbA1c, a hemoglobin which is synthetically connected to sugar, in the circulatory system.
Dr Young stated: 'We distinguished that screening by HbA1c would have recognized an additional 1 percent of a populace matured 40-70 years as having undiscovered diabetes.'
She included: 'This screening determination would have been around two years before a clinical analysis was made.'
The creators investigated blood tests from more than 200,000 patients on the UK Biobank information base and contrasted their glucose levels with GP records.
Men beyond 60 years old, particularly on the off chance that they were large, were bound to have undiscovered diabetes than ladies, the specialists found.
England's weight pandemic has prompted taking off degrees of type 2 diabetes. 66% of grown-ups are either hefty or overweight, probably the most noteworthy rate in the Western world.
More than 4 million individuals in the UK presently have diabetes, contrasted and only 1.8million in 1998.
Around 90 percent of individuals with diabetes have type 2, which is generally brought about by corpulence.
Diabetes happens when glucose levels ascend to hazardous statures and can prompt deadly difficulties, including removals, sight misfortune, stroke and coronary illness.
Type 1 diabetes is an inevitable immune system sickness that generally creates in youth, yet type 2 is for the most part brought about by less than stellar eating routine.
Dr Faye Riley, of Diabetes UK, stated: 'Type 2 diabetes can go undetected for quite a long time and this exploration hails that very regularly, individuals can have the condition however not know it.'
The exploration was introduced at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.
People suffering from type 2 diabetes should take all natural Naavudi to bring their blood sugar down to normal range. Taking 3 capsules in the morning (before breakfast) and 3 capsules in the evening (before dinner) will provide healthy results within 2-4 weeks.

]]>"You can certainly get both the flu and Covid-19 at the same time, which could be catastrophic to your immune system," said Dr. Adrian Burrowes, a family medicine physician in Florida.
In fact, getting infected with one can make you more vulnerable to getting sick with the other, epidemiologist Dr. Seema Yasmin said.
"Once you get infected with the flu and some other respiratory viruses, it weakens your body," said Yasmin, director of the Stanford Health Communication Initiative.
Why the flu sometimes kills young, healthy people
"Your defenses go down, and it makes you vulnerable to getting a second infection on top of that."
On their own, both Covid-19 and the flu can attack the lungs, potentially causing pneumonia, fluid in the lungs, or respiratory failure, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Each illness can also cause sepsis, cardiac injury, and inflammation of the heart, brain, or muscle tissues.
Having both illnesses simultaneously "would increase the risk of longer-term effects of any of those organ systems," said Dr. Michael Matthay, a professor of medicine and a critical care specialist at the University of California, San Francisco.
But it's too early to know exactly how much worse than double whammy could be, compared to having each virus on its own.
That's because Covid-19 didn't spread across the US until near the end of the last flu season, Matthay said. So there's not a lot of data yet on people who get both illnesses at the same time.
Half a million US children have been diagnosed with Covid-19
But Matthay suspects the potential for pneumonia would be greater if the body is infected with both the flu and coronavirus.
"The two (viruses) together definitely could be more injurious to the lungs and cause more respiratory failure," he said.
Respiratory failure doesn't necessarily mean your lungs stop working. It means the lungs can't get enough oxygen into the blood.
"Acute respiratory failure can be a life-threatening emergency," the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute says. "Respiratory failure may cause damage to your lungs and other organs, so it is important to get treated quickly."
How can I tell if I have Covid-19 or the flu (or both)?
"Symptoms of influenza and Covid-19 are pretty similar, so it's difficult to distinguish the two," said Dr. Leonard Mermel, medical director for the Department of Epidemiology and Infection Control at Rhode Island Hospital.
Both the flu and Covid-19 can give you a fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, sore throat, body aches, and a runny or stuffy nose, the CDC said.
So your kid has a Covid-19 symptom. What do you do now?
"Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults," the CDC said.
But unlike the flu, Covid-19 can cause a loss of taste or smell.
And about half of coronavirus transmissions happen between people who don't show any symptoms. (Many of those people are pre-symptomatic and are more contagious before they start showing symptoms.)
So the best way to know if you have the novel coronavirus or the flu (or both) is to get tested.
The CDC has created a test that will check for both viruses, to be used at CDC-supported public health labs. The agency said it is continuing to manufacture and distribute these tests.
How can I avoid this flu-COVID-19 double whammy?
Wear a mask and keep physical distancing. Health officials have stressed the importance of masks and physical distancing if Americans want to control Covid-19 -- and get the economy back on track.
With the imminent flu season, such precautions can "doubly protect us from both of those viruses," Yasmin said.
In the Southern Hemisphere, which is just ending its winter months and flu season, several countries have reported astonishingly low flu numbers as people wear masks and social distance.
Get tested for Covid-19 if you socialized closely over Labor Day, Dr. Birx says
In Australia, for example, the number of lab-confirmed flu cases plummeted from 61,000 in August 2019 to 107 cases this August.
But in the US, some people are getting lax about mask-wearing and social distancing. And that's a big problem, said Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
She said there could be a "perfect storm of accelerated Covid-19 activity, as people gather more -- inside, in particular -- as they become continually fatigued with the mask-wearing, the social distancing, and the hand hygiene, and as they are exposed to seasonal influenza."
Get a flu vaccine. This may sound obvious. Yet about half of all Americans don't get vaccinated against the flu, including most children who die from the flu.
Even if you get a flu shot and still catch the flu later, the symptoms are usually less severe than if you got no flu vaccine at all.
And since no Covid-19 vaccine is publicly available yet, the flu shot is the only way you can help inoculate yourself against having both viruses at the same time.
Pediatrician: It's time for all schools to require flu shots
Pediatricians say it's important for children 6 months and older to get the flu vaccine, ideally before the end of October. "Timely influenza vaccination is particularly important," this flu season, the American Academy of Pediatrics wrote this week.
Getting a flu shot can also help many more people than just yourself, said immunologist Dr. Susan Bailey, president of the American Medical Association.
"Since hospitals and doctors' offices are going to be very busy caring for Covid-19 patients, a flu vaccine can help decrease burdens on the health care system and make sure that those who need medical care are able to get it," Bailey said.
About 140,000 to 810,000 Americans get hospitalized with the flu each year, according to the CDC. And the number of Covid-19 hospitalizations are expected to surge more than 150% between now and December 1, according to the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
"Every year, many patients get severe influenza with respiratory failure," Matthay said. Among patients who get severe pneumonia from the flu, "the vast majority of those patients have not had their flu vaccine that year."

]]>as study finds hospital patients given 100micrograms per week had 'significantly reduced' need for life support
Treating coronavirus patients with high doses of vitamin D supplements could help keep them out of intensive care, a study has suggested.
Researchers gave high doses of calcifediol – a type of vitamin D supplement – to 50 patients hospitalized with Covid-19 in Spain.
They were given 100 micrograms of the supplement over the course of a week, with 55mcg on the first day and then two booster doses of 27mcg on days three and seven. The dose was higher than the 70mcg weekly limit recommended by the NHS.
Scientists compared the participants' health with 26 volunteers in a control group who were not given the tablets, which are normally prescribed to patients with thyroid or kidney problems.
Just one patient given calcifediol fell ill enough to be admitted to intensive care, whereas half of the participants in the control group were taken to ICU and two died.
There were no deaths among volunteers receiving the vitamin and the end of the study eventually discharged all 50 patients.
Experts now believe Covid-19 causes a catastrophic build-up of a chemical called bradykinin, which makes blood vessels leaky and drives up the risk of inflammation.
Calcifediol is one of the few hormones, which regulate the bradykinin, and it can also prevent the immune system from going into overdrive.
Researchers have been divided over whether a vitamin D deficiency, which is vital to the immune system, can raise the risk of dying of Covid-19. Some scientists suggested that it may be one of the reasons black people face a higher risk of dying from the illness because they do not produce as much of the vitamin naturally.
Taking too much vitamin D can cause bone and organ damage over time, however, and scientists discouraged people from trying to self-medicate.
For the study, researchers from the University of Cordoba in Spain and research university KU Leuven in Belgium monitored 76 hospital patients with Covid-19.
Fifty of the patients were randomly assigned to have calcifediol tablets, along with normal care.
Twenty-six volunteers were put in a control group who only received standard care, to compare the treatment.
Because the study was conducted several months ago, the standard care for coronavirus in Spain was hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. These two drugs have since been proven ineffective at treating the virus.
Calcifediol was given in high doses at 50 micrograms on the first day then 26 micrograms on the third and seventh day. These patients were then given the drug at this dose weekly until they were discharged.

The University of Washington analyzed swabs from 500 people tested for coronavirus for differences in people of different ages and sexes.
They found signs that genes that turn on the immune response in elderly people get activated more slowly than those in younger people.
Genes that should turn the immune system 'off' to keep inflammation from getting out of control are less active in men
Elderly people's immune responses to COVID-19 may be delayed by three days compared to those of younger adults - and it might explain why the death toll among the age group has been so high, a new study suggests.
The immune system begins to break down with age, a phenomenon called immunosenescence.
By analyzing about 500 swabs taken from coronavirus patients and control, the University of Washington researchers found key differences that indicate elderly people's bodies are slower to mount an immune response than are younger people.
And, compared to women, men's immune systems have a harder time quieting back down after the most pressing threat of the virus has passed, which may fuel the out-of-control inflammation that has proven deadly for many COVID-19 patients.
It's impossible to say for sure why a virus that triggers no symptoms in some who catch it is so lethal to others, but the new study offers some clues that align with undeniable patterns in the lists of coronavirus's survivors and victims.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - which lags behind other trackers, and accounts for about 140,000 of the nearly 190,000 COVID-19 deaths in the US - suggests that nearly a third of fatalities are among people who are 85 or older.
Elderly people are clearly one of the most vulnerable populations to coronavirus.
Every year, elderly people develop pneumonia from and succumb to infections like flu and all manner of other respiratory infections that for younger people would be unpleasant, but not particularly worrisome.
In broad terms, coronavirus's deadly effects on older people fit what we know about aging and infections: Older people have weaker bodies in general, including their immune systems.
Much of the research attempting to establish if and how people might develop immunity has focused on the activity of T and B cells. The former is targeted weapons honed to fight particular infections and to instruct the latter, B cells, to start cranking out another specialized weapon: antibodies.
Both of these are part of our adaptive immunity, a portion of our immune system that develops over the course of our lives, in response to pathogens we encounter as we move through the world.
It's adaptive immunity that will offer some protection against reinfection to those who have recovered from COVID-19 (although how much protection, or how long it will last, is still unclear).
When it comes to defenses against coronavirus in a first encounter, 'we're dealing a lot more with the innate immune system that the adaptive,' lead study author Dr. Alex Greninger told DailyMail.com.
'When you look at a virus, what it's trying to do is all about getting to the highest viral load possible, then going on to the next host, it's not about trying to establish chronic infection - people may have chronic complications - but it's not about that.
'It's about screwing with the innate immune system.
We are born with our innate immune systems, which are comprised of crude but effective tools to block infection, including everything from skin to tiny cells in the white blood cells, like interleukins and cytokines.
These cells aren't tailored to fight any particular pathogens but will attack anything foreign in the body.
By analyzing the 'brain scraping' nasopharyngeal swabs of hundreds of people who tested positive and negative for coronavirus, Dr. Greninger and his team could sequence the genomes and see exactly what genes were turned 'on' or 'off' in response to the virus.
Furthermore, they could see how brightly the genetic dimmer switches that code for various immune cells was turned on, depending on each person's age, sex, and viral load.
'Some of the genes [that code for innate immune cells] that are most "turned on" on a population basis, we see the least amount of up-regulation in the elderly population,' Dr. Greninger explained.
We would expect them to turn on in...The response, but they aren't. The ability to ramp up the immune system really fast is much less present in elderly individuals.
That slow immune response gives the virus a chance to further establish itself and replicate before the body notices. Elderly people also have a higher baseline level of inflammation, so once their immune systems do respond and flood what may by then be many infection sites, the resulting additional inflammation can quickly become overpowering, and fatal.
University of Washington's analysis revealed clues about why men, too, maybe struggling more to combat the virus, and they were markedly different from the disadvantages of elderly people.
While older people's bodies struggle to turn the immune system 'on,' nasal swabs taken from men who developed COVID-19 showed weaker activity from the genes that would turn the immune response 'off.'
Without the 'off switch' functioning properly, inflammation from immune cytokines can go on much longer than it should in men, overwhelming their bodies, too, but by a different mechanism than that proves fatal for many elderly people.
Please consider taking CLE Concentrated Mineral Drops daily and strengthen and protect your immune system from all viruses. You take 20 drops per day, mixed with either water, juice, or a smoothie and you will boost your immune system so that your body is strong and able to protect against various viruses and age-related health conditions.

Experts around the world are in agreement that COVID-19 isn’t going away anytime soon, with many saying that the virus is going to be floating around in the general population for decades. The virus is still poorly understood, especially in terms of transmission, and a vaccine does not exist at this time. Is opening everything up going to make things worse?
Professor Sir Jeremy Farrar, who is the director of Wellcome Trust, told the House of Commons’ Health Committee that the COVID-19 virus won’t be done by Christmas, despite the government hoping to get things back on track by then. Without a vaccine in place, and without a better understanding of how the virus works, COVID-19 stands to only gain momentum.
Scientists and researchers are diligently trying to create a vaccine, but even when a vaccine or perhaps better treatments are introduced, the virus will still linger. The fear is that a second surge, perhaps worse than the one we’re currently seeing, could emerge.
With all of that said, what can people do?
Experts are urging people to continue practicing precautions. For instance, regular hand washing, wearing a face mask, and practicing social distancing are believed to be the best things people can do to avoid becoming infected with COVID-19. In addition, the elderly, sick, or immunocompromised should be staying home. If someone isn’t feeling well or suspects COVID-19, they should get tested and then self-quarantine until either they receive a result or have been fever-free for several days.
Staying healthy is also key. Daily exercise and a healthy diet can go a long way in providing immune system support and helping people stay healthy. Before beginning a new diet or exercise routine, however, be sure to speak to your doctor.
There are a number of supplements that can also help people stay healthy. For instance, CLE Concentrated Mineral Drops (10 drops per day for 30 days) can provide results that are beneficial to the immune system.
As governments look to re-open the public sector, it’s recommended that people everywhere continue to practice precautions and keep themselves healthy to prevent COVID-19 infection.
]]>As the coronavirus pandemic continues to sweep the globe, researchers are continuously learning how the virus works and what the long-term looks like for those who become infected. Researchers at University College London recently announced that there is a disturbing trend arising in COVID-19 patients. Many patients, including those who have been completely asymptomatic in terms of respiratory distress, are showing dangerous neurological complications. For instance, coronavirus patients are incurring neurological problems in the shape of fatal brain inflammation, stroke, and even nerve damage. Researchers around the world have corroborated these findings, and the fear is that a larger scale of neurological disorders in COVID-19 patients could become common.
In a study conducted by University College London researchers, 43 patients were observed at various University College London Hospitals. These COVID-19 patients ranged in ages from 16-85. Ten of them incurred temporary brain dysfunction. Eight had strokes, another eight had nerve damage, and 12 of them incurred brain inflammation. All in all, that means that nearly all of these patients had some sort of neurological damage in conjunction with the coronavirus.
What’s perhaps more concerning for researchers is that patients with brain inflammation tended to be diagnosed with ADEM (acute disseminated encephalomyelitis). While this disorder has been seen before the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers say that they have seen a marked uptick since the coronavirus struck.
Researchers are still working to understand the connection between COVID-19 and neurological problems. Researchers aren’t quite sure what is making brain damage and other neurological complications such a common trend in patients who have tested positive for COVID-19. As it stands, researchers think their best theory is that neurological problems in COVID-19 patients are being spurred by the immune system’s response to the virus, which could be causing problems in other bodily systems and tissues.
While it’s unclear exactly what’s causing this strange pattern, one thing is clear. Keeping a healthy immune system will help to fight off viruses and potentially keep the immune system healthy enough to avoid secondary complications. A healthy diet and exercise are both important elements in keeping a healthy immune system. In addition, supplements such as CLE Concentrated Drops can be helpful in keeping the immune system strong. Consider taking CLE Concentrated Drops - just 10 drops each morning can yield a difference in as little as 30 days.
]]>While the recovery rates for those with COVID-19 seem to be increasing, there is another disturbing trend that has been noted by researchers and doctors around the world. More and more health and medical professionals are seeing that COVID-19 has lingering symptoms that can especially affect those who had previous underlying conditions. These ongoing symptoms can impact a variety of organs, including the brain, kidneys, liver, pancreas, and heart.
Doctors and researchers working on the front lines around the world have reported a number of conditions related to COVID-19. For instance, some people with COVID-19 have developed a blood clotting disorder that can lead to strokes, while another condition entailing inflammation attacks various organ systems throughout the body.
In addition, frontline workers are seeing neurological issues arise, such as confusion, seizures, loss of taste and smell, dizziness, headache, and more.
This worrisome trend lends to a slow recovery, and some patients might never truly recover from the virus once they’ve been infected. For example, those who have been on ventilators for weeks will typically need more time in rehab to ensure that they can perform routine daily tasks. This can be a major setback for older adults.
For anyone with COVID-19, long term impacts can include issues such as persistent fatigue and shortness of breath. While most patients will see their symptoms resolve in a few weeks, one out of ten will have prolonged symptoms.
This raises major questions in terms of the virus and how certain symptoms can be impacted. Similar trends are seen with other viruses, such as the flu. Those with underlying conditions, especially young children and older adults, tend to be at a higher risk for some of the worst side effects of the virus. In COVID-19, underlying factors play perhaps the biggest role in determining who gets the worst of the symptoms.
Those who are the picture of great health typically don’t have the prolonged, worsened symptoms that others do.
For this reason, there’s never been a better time to focus on personal health. Daily exercise and activity is important for preventing a range of disorders, from diabetes to obesity. Healthy eating is also critical keeping blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight in check.
Strengthening the immune system is also a great way to protect against viruses, including COVID-19 and the common cold. Ensuring that blood pressure levels are in range is important, and supplements such as Alistrol can help reduce blood pressure naturally.
Other supplements, such as Naavudi, can help keep blood sugar levels in check. If you have an underlying condition, now is the time to get it under control, and it’s always a good time to work on personal health and fitness.
]]>Researchers there interviewed 900 new moms. While only 15% of new moms reported depressive symptoms before the pandemic, 40.7% of new moms reported symptoms of depression during the pandemic. 72% of new mothers reported feeling moderate to high anxiety, a 45% increase from moms reporting these symptoms before the pandemic.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, research had shown that one out of seven women are impacted by depression and anxiety.
In a time when new moms are focused on their pregnancies, giving birth, and caring for newborns, anxiety and depression can creep in. It can happen during normal circumstances, but now, during a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everyone’s way of life, women are at an even higher risk for the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
There are a number of factors that come into play, according to researchers. For instance, social distancing, stay at home orders, social and physical isolation, and worrying about the health of oneself and loved ones is a big burden for new moms and pregnant women who are already stressed. Although the research conducted by the University of Alberta only accounted for new moms, researchers believe that all moms could be at a higher risk for anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to researchers, there are a few key things women can do to help prevent anxiety and depression right now. For instance, it’s important for moms to prioritize themselves. While it’s easy to get accustomed to sitting around the house, it’s important for new moms and pregnant women to do things they enjoy and engage in physical activity or exercise each and every day. Yoga and meditation can be great ways to balance physical and mental health. Staying in touch with friends and family is also important for mental health. Pregnant women and new moms are advised to seek the help of a medical professional if they aren’t feeling themselves.
Pregnant women and new moms can strengthen their immune systems and protect themselves from viruses, ensure that their blood pressure is in check, and keep an eye on blood sugar to boost overall health. All-natural Alistrol is clinically proven to lower high blood pressure; Naavudi can bring down high blood sugar levels quickly and safely. By taking complete care of themselves - mentally and physically - pregnant women can help prevent anxiety and depression during COVID-19.
Another option is to consider taking CLE Concentrated Mineral Drops to keep the immune system and cells in the body strong.

Type 2 diabetes is becoming more and more common. About 30.3 million adults in the United States alone have been diagnosed. You or someone you love may have been recently diagnosed with this disease, and you probably have questions about what caused it and how it can be treated. While diabetes is a serious disease, there are ways to stop type 2 diabetes naturally. Here are some important facts about type 2 diabetes.
Types of Diabetes
Diabetes affects the production of insulin, a hormone that moves sugar out of your blood and into your cells. The two main types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, which means the body attacks itself. In this case, the immune system attacks the cells that produce insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is a result of the body's resistance to insulin. This leads to a failure to produce the correct amounts of insulin and high blood sugar levels. As a result, your body cannot lower high blood sugar naturally. The good news is that you can stop type 2 diabetes naturally.
Causes of Diabetes
Many people believe that diabetes is caused by eating too much sugar because of the correlation between high blood sugar and insulin resistance. However, this is not the case.
Type 1 diabetes is a genetic disease, and type 2 diabetes has no known cause. However, those who are sedentary, overweight, and genetic history of type 2 diabetes are more at risk of developing it. It's also important to note that a high-calorie diet that causes you to gain weight does not necessarily equal a diet high in sugar.
Some people develop type 2 diabetes as an adult even though they are very healthy. This is often referred to as type 1.5 diabetes and may be a result of an autoimmune disease that failed to present itself during childhood.
Symptoms of Diabetes
It is not always obvious when someone has diabetes. Many people think they can maintain healthy blood sugar levels and never show signs that their blood sugar levels have been elevated. As a result, the disease can progress for years with no treatment. This is why it's so important to learn how to stop type 2 diabetes naturally.
Complications from Diabetes
Diabetes is very serious, and it can cause many different complications. These include high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Diabetes can also lead to problems with vision, digestion, and in the skin, teeth, and gums. Neuropathy, tingling, and numbness in the feet, is also a severe complication from diabetes. If diabetes is not treated correctly, then you cannot maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and it can also lead to death. This is why it is so important to lower high blood sugar naturally.
Treating Diabetes
There are many different ways to treat diabetes. One type 2 diabetes natural treatment is to eat a very healthy diet and exercise regularly. Many people think that people with type 2 diabetes cannot eat any sugar, but that is not the case. They can eat sugar, but it should be fructose from fruits. This type of sugar is good for the body because it also comes with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. However, a healthy diet does mean avoiding sugary treats and drinks like soda.
The reason for this healthy diet is that it can lower high blood sugar naturally. However, a healthy lifestyle may not be enough. Fortunately, you can use a type 2 diabetes natural medicine.
A type 2 diabetes natural treatment is using the supplement Naavudi. This all-natural supplement has been shown to lower blood sugar naturally by using a blend of herbs, vitamins, and minerals. It can also help decrease cravings for sweets and help you lose weight.
Treating your diabetes is incredibly important. If you have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, then be sure to seek out type 2 diabetes natural medicine. By using a type 2 diabetes natural treatment, you can control your blood sugar and live free of the complications of this disease. This will help you feel better and let you live a happy, active life!

]]>For many years, heart disease has been the leading cause of death worldwide. However, a new study has shown that deaths from heart disease are decreasing. As a result, it is no longer the leading cause of death in both high- and middle-income countries. Instead, deaths caused by cancer and cancer-related complications are now number one. This is both good news and bad news! Let's take a closer look at a new study that has discovered a shift in what is causing deaths around the world.
What Is Heart Disease?
Before we begin, let's define what heart disease is. Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, includes a wide variety of conditions that affect the heart, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart failure. It also refers to physical defects in the heart, including birth defects and those caused by trauma. These conditions can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Heart disease has long been the number one cause of death in all countries around the world, regardless of income levels. However, heart disease is preventable through diet, exercise, and medication.
The Study
The Lancet, a medical journal, published a new study that found heart disease is no longer the leading cause of death among adults aged 35 – 70 in some countries. The researchers analyzed the cause of death for 162,534 adults in many different countries located on five different continents. They studied the cause of deaths in these countries from the years 2005 – 2016. To better understand the results, researchers separated the countries into 3 different categories: low-income, middle-income, and high-income. They found that while heart disease-related deaths were still high, they were surpassed by cancer-related deaths in all of the high-income countries and some of the middle-income countries that had higher incomes.
What Has Led to This Change?
What has caused this transition from heart disease to cancer-causing more deaths? Researchers believe it is because these higher-income countries have access to education and treatment that helps prevent and treat heart disease. As a result, deaths from heart disease are significantly lower. Lower-income countries simply do not have access to life-saving knowledge and treatments. In addition to this, therapy for both preventing and treating cancers has not progressed as quickly as treatment and prevention for heart disease.
What You Can Do?
The best way to prevent heart disease is to eat a healthy diet full of lean proteins, veggies, fruits, and healthy fats. This, combined with regular exercise, will keep your heart very healthy! It’s also crucial to have your blood pressure and cholesterol regularly checked. If your doctor finds that these numbers are too high, they can prescribe medication to lower them.
While there are no official treatments for preventing cancer, you can make healthy choices to decrease your risk of developing it. This includes eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. You can also use supplements to help reduce inflammation in your cells, a marker for cancer. You can choose something simple that fuels all of your cells, like CLE Mineral Drops. These mineral drops keep your cells healthy and strengthen your immune system. You can also take CLE Mineral Drops every day! This will keep your body functioning at its best, which is the best way to prevent cancer.
Don’t want to make these healthy choices. Start today! You won’t regret it.
