Losing weight blood pressure

Nearly 15,000 Plus One Vocational Higher Secondary Education (VHSE) National Service Scheme (NSS) volunteers are set to visit their bedridden or frail neighbours suffering from lifestyle diseases to monitor their blood sugar and pressure as part of the second phase of the Sneha Sanjeevani project.

NHS weight-loss classes are now available through pharmacies for obese people. Previously, a GP consultation was needed to gain access to the free, online scheme to help with losing weight. But now the 12-week plan - including tailored diets and exercise - can be accessed at pharmacies for people with a BMI over 30. More than 50,000 referrals have been made GPs already. People need to have a body mass index (BMI) over 30 to sign up and are contacted within 10 days to start the programme. Advertisement Those from Asian, black and minority ethnic backgrounds can join the programme at a lower BMI of 27.5, due to their increased risk of Type 2 diabetes . A BMI of 30 would mean someone 5ft 10in (178cm) would weigh 15st or 95kg.

Chris J. Hanson was preparing to leave his beachfront hotel on the last day of vacation when his mind started malfunctioning in a rare and mysterious way. As he put on a shirt, he told his wife, Bobbi-Jo, that he wished they’d spent more time on the balcony. She was puzzled. He’d just been on the balcony, and they had eaten several meals there. “I don’t want to scare you,” he told her, “but I don’t remember any of that.” He did scare her. Afraid he was having a stroke, she rushed him to a Miami, Florida, hospital. Every 15 seconds or so, he’d ask the same questions. “Where am I?” “Where’s my phone?” “Where’s my wallet?” He remembered who he was. He remembered Bobbi-Jo and their kids. But the last six months were a blank, and he wasn’t making any new memories. He teared up when Bobbi-Jo reminded him that he had bought tickets to an Ultimate Fighting Championship event when they returned home to Colorado Springs, Colorado. He didn’t remember that either, a sign that … [Read more...] about Can you lose your memory for just a few hours?

Legendary music producer Phil Spector has lost the ability to SPEAK as he wastes away in jail, the Mirror can exclusively reveal. Spector - who produced some of the 20th century’s greatest pop music including the Beatles seminal album Let It Be – lost the use of his voice NINE months ago and is in a “very dangerous” situation in prison. And to make matter worse the man know for creating a ‘Wall of sound’ now has a wall of silence in his life. The 74-year-old was moved from Corcoran prison – famous for housing serial killer Charles Manson - to the California Health Care Facility in Stockton, California, at the end of October last year. The facility provides health care for some of the state’s sickest inmates. However despite being moved there to help treat his “many maladies”, Spector’s health has deteriorated close to a crisis point. Two shocking new mugshots of him looking emaciated were released by the California Department of Corrections this week but they were taken 11 … [Read more...] about Jailed Phil Spector’s wall of silence as he loses ability to speak

January 10, 2022 08:08 The European Union is under increasing pressure to further ease rules on airport take-off and landing slots to cut the number of "ghost flights" airlines are running to retain them. Carriers say the requirement for them to use 50 percent of their slots -- down from 80 percent in pre-pandemic days -- or lose them is forcing them to operate empty or half-empty flights. A sluggish return to air travel, as travelers shrink away from the omicron COVID variant and quickly changing rules for passengers, is dragging out the practice longer than they planned. Belgium's Brussels Airlines, for instance, says it will have to operate 3,000 under-capacity flights up to the end of March. Its parent company Lufthansa warned last month it expected it would have to run 18,000 "pointless flights" over the European winter. Belgium's transport minister, Georges Gilkinet, has written to the European Commission urging it to loosen the slot rules, arguing the consequences … [Read more...] about EU Under Pressure on ‘Ghost Flights’

Three years ago, A Place in the Sun ’s newest presenter Craig Rowe went to see his GP. He had been suffering horrendous night sweats for weeks, leaving him drenched and perplexed as to why they were happening. Although the doctors never got to the bottom of what was causing the sweats, which eventually disappeared on their own, the 49-year-old received a very worrying diagnosis. A series of blood tests revealed he had too much fat around his liver and his blood sugar levels were sky high. He was told in no uncertain terms that he needed to overhaul his diet and lifestyle, and if he didn’t, he was at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. “Thank goodness for those night sweats as I would never have known I had such high blood sugar levels,” admits Craig, who was previously one of This Morning’s go-to gadget gurus and appeared regularly on shopping channel QVC. “Doctors told me I was prediabetic, which came as an unpleasant surprise.

Exercise is indispensable for staying in shape, improving well-being and minimizing the risk of ill health, especially as you age. As a result of these benefits, some people may consider the more exercise incorporated into your daily routine, the better. However, there are real concerns that excessive exercise and overtraining can pose a problem. Newsweek talked to the experts about whether you really should work out every day. Is There Such A Thing As Too Much Exercise?

He said: "This comes out to just over 20 minutes per day. Most people will … [Read more...] about Experts discuss whether there is such a thing as too much exercise

A woman was branded 'fat' by doctors until a five stone cyst was discovered. Crystal Dominguez claims she started having irregular periods, sharp stomach pains and abdominal swelling back in late 2018 but was told by doctors that she just needed to lose weight. Her stomach swelled so badly she looked like she was expecting triplets. The 26-year-old said her stomach ballooned so large that people thought she was expecting and kept asking 'when are you due?', so to avoid 'uncomfortable' questions and stares she became housebound for months. But just when the singleton had 'lost hope' of receiving help, a 'basketball-sized' cyst was eventually discovered on her ovary in October 2020, which was surgically removed shortly after.
