How Is Your Cardiovascular Health?
Did you know that many people have cardiovascular disease without experiencing any symptoms. Most people are not diagnosed until the condition worsens to the point where they have angina, a stroke or heart failure. Therefore, it is important to start taking steps towards a healthy heart and arteries today. Biofeedback is a great way to assess your cardiovascular system for early signs of disease. If found, the information can then be used to devise a specific program to improve your heart efficiency and arterial health before symptoms occur, or even if symptoms are present. Remember: Sometimes What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You!
Hypothyroid vs. Hyperthyroid
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are two distinct thyroid disorders with opposite effects on the body. Hypothyroidism results from an underactive thyroid gland, leading to insufficient production of thyroid hormones. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and depression. In contrast, hyperthyroidism arises from an overactive thyroid gland, causing excessive thyroid hormone release. This condition presents with symptoms like weight loss, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, and heat intolerance. Hypothyroidism is commonly caused by Hashimoto’s disease or iodine deficiency, while hyperthyroidism is often linked to Graves’ disease or nodules. Diagnosis involves blood tests, and treatment aims to restore hormone balance through medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery, depending on the disorder’s severity.
Pets and Bee Stings
Hot weather, blooming plants and buzzing insects can all spell trouble for your pets. If your curious pooch or pouncing feline gets stung by a bee, here’s what you can do: Scrape away the stinger if you can find it. Pulling the stinger with fingers or tweezers could rupture the poison sac allowing toxin to enter the bloodstream. If no medical history or treatments contraindicate, administer 1 mg Benadryl® per pound of your pet’s body weight and apply a cold pack for short periods at a time. If swelling is severe or if ANY breathing difficulties develop, do not delay—seek veterinary attention immediately.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
If my body were a car, I would trade it for a newer model. Every time I cough, sputter, or sneeze, my radiant leaks and my exhaust backfires.
