The main factors that influence your risk include being a woman and getting older. Most breast cancers are found in women who are 50 years old or older.\n\nSome women will get breast cancer even without any other risk factors that they know of. Having a risk factor does not mean you will get the disease, and not all risk factors have the same effect. Most women have some risk factors, but most women do not get breast cancer. If you have breast cancer risk factors, talk with your doctor about ways you can <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/basic_info/prevention.htm">lower your </a> and about <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/basic_info/screening.htm">screening </a>for breast cancer.\n<h2>Risk Factors You Cannot Change</h2>\n<ul class="bullet-list">\n 	<li><strong>Getting older.</strong> The risk for breast cancer increases with age; most breast cancers are diagnosed after age 50.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Genetic mutations.</strong> Inherited changes (mutations) to certain genes, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2. Women who have inherited these genetic changes are at higher risk of breast and ovarian cancer.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Reproductive history.</strong> Early menstrual periods before age 12 and starting menopause after age 55 expose women to hormones longer, raising their risk of getting breast cancer.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Having dense breasts.</strong> Dense breasts have more connective tissue than fatty tissue, which can sometimes make it hard to see tumors on a mammogram. Women with dense breasts are more likely to get breast cancer.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Personal history of breast cancer or certain non-cancerous breast diseases.</strong> Women who have had breast cancer are more likely to get breast cancer a second time. Some non-cancerous breast diseases such as atypical hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma <em>in situ</em> are associated with a higher risk of getting breast cancer.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Family history of breast cancer.</strong> A woman’s risk for breast cancer is higher if she has a mother, sister, or daughter (first-degree relative) or multiple family members on either her mother’s or father’s side of the family who have had breast cancer. Having a first-degree male relative with breast cancer also raises a woman’s risk.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Previous treatment using radiation therapy.</strong> Women who had radiation therapy to the chest or breasts (like for treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma) before age 30 have a higher risk of getting breast cancer later in life.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Women who took the drug diethylstilbestrol (DES),</strong> which was given to some pregnant women in the United States between 1940 and 1971 to prevent miscarriage, have a higher risk. Women whose mothers took DES while pregnant with them are also at risk.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Risk Factors You Can Change</h2>\n<ul class="bullet-list">\n 	<li><strong>Not being physically active.</strong> Women who are not physically active have a higher risk of getting breast cancer.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Being overweight or obese after menopause.</strong> Older women who are overweight or obese have a higher risk of getting breast cancer than those at a normal weight.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Taking hormones.</strong> Some forms of hormone replacement therapy (those that include both estrogen and progesterone) taken during menopause can raise risk for breast cancer when taken for more than five years. Certain oral contraceptives (birth control pills) also have been found to raise breast cancer risk.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Reproductive history.</strong> Having the first pregnancy after age 30, not breastfeeding, and never having a full-term pregnancy can raise breast cancer risk.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Drinking alcohol.</strong> Studies show that a woman’s risk for breast cancer increases with the more alcohol she drinks.</li>\n</ul>\nResearch suggests that other factors such as smoking, being exposed to chemicals that can cause cancer, and changes in other hormones due to night shift working also may increase breast cancer risk.\n\nConclusively,  being a woman and getting older are the main risk factors for breast cancer.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n\nContent source: Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;', 'Risk factors for breast cancer', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3112-autosave-v1', '', '', '2019-10-22 22:43:37', '2019-10-22 22:43:37', '', 3112, 'https://physiosparks.com/2019/10/22/3112-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Doctors use a mammogram to look for early signs of breast cancer. Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early, sometimes up to three years before it can be felt.\r\n\r\n<strong>How is a mammogram done?</strong>\r\n\r\nYou will stand in front of a special X-ray machine. A technologist will place your breast on a clear plastic plate. Another plate will firmly press your breast from above. The plates will flatten the breast, holding it still while the X-ray is being taken. You will feel some pressure. The steps are repeated to make a side view of the breast. The other breast will be X-rayed in the same way. You will then wait while the technologist checks the four X-rays to make sure the pictures do not need to be re-done. Keep in mind that the technologist cannot tell you the results of your mammogram. Each woman’s mammogram may look a little different because all breasts are a little different.\r\n\r\n<strong>What does having a mammogram feel like?</strong>\r\n\r\nHaving a mammogram is uncomfortable for most women. Some women find it painful. A mammogram takes only a few moments, though, and the discomfort is over soon. What you feel depends on the skill of the technologist, the size of your breasts, and how much they need to be pressed. Your breasts may be more sensitive if you are about to get or have your period. A doctor with special training, called a radiologist, will read the mammogram. He or she will look at the X-ray for early signs of breast cancer or other problems.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tips for Getting a Mammogram</strong>\r\n\r\nTry not to have your mammogram the week before you get your period or during your period. Your breasts may be tender or swollen then.On the day of your mammogram, don’t wear deodorant, perfume, or powder. These products can show up as white spots on the X-ray.Some women prefer to wear a top with a skirt or pants, instead of a dress. You will need to undress from your waist up for the mammogram.\r\n\r\n<strong>When will I get the results of my mammogram?</strong>\r\n\r\nYou will usually get the results within a few weeks, although it depends on the facility. A radiologist reads your mammogram and then reports the results to you and your doctor. If there is a concern, you will hear from the mammography facility earlier. Contact your health care provider or the mammography facility if you do not receive a report of your results within 30 days.\r\n\r\n<strong>What happens if my mammogram is normal?</strong>\r\n\r\nContinue to get mammograms according to recommended time intervals. Mammograms work best when they can be compared with previous ones. This allows the radiologist to compare them to look for changes in your breasts.\r\n\r\n<strong>What happens if my mammogram is abnormal?</strong>\r\n\r\nAn abnormal mammogram does not always mean that there is cancer. But you will need to have additional mammograms, tests, or exams before the doctor can tell for sure. You may also be referred to a breast specialist or a surgeon. It does not necessarily mean you have cancer or need surgery. These doctors are experts in diagnosing breast problems. Doctors will do follow-up tests to diagnose breast cancer or to find that there is no cancer.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nContent source: Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention', 'Mammogram', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'mammogram', '', '', '2019-10-24 05:42:07', '2019-10-24 05:42:07', '', 0, 'https://physiosparks.com/?p=3174', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It does not cost much to put up a smile on your face.\r\nWant to know the health benefits of a smile? Check these out:\r\n\r\n1. <strong>Boosts mood</strong>\r\n\r\nA smile helps the body release the ''feel-good'' chemicals (endorphins, serotonin, oxytocin, dopamine) into the bloodstream. These helps to reduce blood pressure, heart rate, pain and the production of stress hormones (adrenaline, norepinephrine, cortisol). Elevated levels of stress hormones suppress every other hormone in the body, thereby leading to hormonal imbalance. Symptoms of hormonal imbalance include: leg cramps, depression, anxiety, reduced libido, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, night sweats, weight gain, urinary incontinence, memory loss to mention a few.\r\n\r\n2. <strong>Improves immune system</strong>\r\n\r\nProduction of immune cells as well as infection-fighting antibodies increases with just a smile. This helps the body resist numerous diseases.\r\n\r\n3. <strong>Enhances appearance</strong>\r\n\r\nSmiling most often gives the illusion of confidence, attractiveness and youthfulness. People who smile easily are usually likeable, more readily approached with business ideas and offered advancements or rewards which invariably, enhances better relationships. Interestingly, most men are attracted to women who smile most times than those who frown.\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">4. <strong>Increases life span</strong></p>\r\nMore than just a respite from stress and agony, smile improves strength and courage to find new sources of hope, happiness and the will to thrive amidst difficulties.\r\n\r\nSo, wear your best smiles every single day!', 'Smiles? .....Magical!', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3178-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-10-26 09:11:41', '2019-10-26 09:11:41', '', 3178, 'https://physiosparks.com/2019/10/26/3178-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

There are different kinds of breast cancer. The kind of breast cancer depends on which cells in the breast turn into cancer.\r\n\r\nBreast cancer can begin in different parts of the breast. A breast is made up of three main parts: lobules, ducts, and connective tissue. The lobules are the glands that produce milk. The ducts are tubes that carry milk to the nipple. The connective tissue (which consists of fibrous and fatty tissue) surrounds and holds everything together. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts or lobules.\r\n\r\nBreast cancer can spread outside the breast through blood vessels and lymph vessels.

But most breast lumps are caused by other medical conditions. The two most common causes of breast lumps are fibrocystic breast condition and cysts. <em>Fibrocystic condition</em> causes noncancerous changes in the breast that can make them lumpy, tender, and sore. <em>Cysts</em> are small fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the breast.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nContent source: Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention', 'Symptoms  of breast cancer', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3187-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-10-26 13:32:05', '2019-10-26 13:32:05', '', 3187, 'https://physiosparks.com/2019/10/26/3187-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

This can lead to more tests, which can be expensive, invasive, time-consuming, and may cause anxiety.\r\n\r\n*Overdiagnosis and Overtreatment\r\n\r\nTests also can lead to overdiagnosis, when doctors find a cancer that would not have gone on to cause symptoms or problems, or even may go away on its own. Treatment of these cancers is called overtreatment. Overtreatment can include treatments recommended for breast cancer, such as surgery or radiation therapy. These can cause unnecessary and unwanted side effects. Other potential harms from breast cancer screening include pain during the procedure and radiation exposure from the mammogram test itself. While the amount of radiation in a mammogram is small, there may be risks with having repeated X-rays.\r\n\r\n*False Negative Test Results\r\n\r\nMammograms may also miss some cancers, called false negative test results, which may delay finding a cancer and getting treatment.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Talk to Your Doctor</strong>\r\n\r\nSometimes it can be hard to decide if you should get a screening test.

(3320, 4, '2019-11-17 23:49:09', '2019-11-17 23:49:09', 'Experts are warning that eyelash treatments are causing a surge in emergency eyelid procedures and serious infections. One of the most commonly reported problems is a condition known as blepharitis; a chronic inflammatory disorder of the eyelids that arises due to bacterial overgrowth on the eyelashes, explains Consultant Ophthalmic and Oculoplastic Surgeon Elizabeth Hawkes in a recent article.\r\n<div class="item-body content-item-body">\r\n<div class="content">\r\n<h2>Eyelashes are there to protect the eyes</h2>\r\nHawkes suggests that women should remember that eyelashes are there to protect the eyes from exposure to dust and chemicals and that a build-up of bacteria and debris on the eyelids can lead to "irreversible eyelash loss." The red swelling that often affects the eyelid could even require an emergency procedure.\r\n\r\nEyelids are the guards of your vision and are lined with eyelashes which protect against dust and chemicals invasion. With all of the eyelash enhancing treatments, it is very important to take good care of the eyelids to protect against this damage.” Elizabeth Hawkes, Consultant Ophthalmic and Oculoplastic Surgeon\r\n<h2>What is causing the damage?</h2>\r\nThe answer is quite simple. It basically comes down to a lack of care and hygiene when taking care of the eyelids while they are at increased risk for infection.\r\n\r\nEyelashes play a crucial role in the aesthetic appearance of the eyes and have a life cycle of approximately 4 months, but chronic build-up of biofilm and debris on the eyelashes and eyelids can also cause irreversible eyelash loss." Elizabeth Hawkes, Consultant Ophthalmic and Oculoplastic Surgeon\r\n\r\nKeeping on top of removing the biofilm and debris is the only way to prevent infection. One medical device called BlephEx, which removes biofilm from the eyelashes and eyelids, can be used twice a year to help people keep their lashes clean.\r\n<h2>Maintaining good eyelid and lash hygiene</h2>\r\nPeople who suspect they have developed blepharitis will need to seek help from a professional who can recommend treatment. However, to minimize the risk of any further infections, it is essential to maintain general lid and lash hygiene.\r\n\r\nHawkes recommends using a cotton pad to gently remove any eye make-up. Contact lenses should be taken out first and the pad should be placed over a closed eye so that the cleaning product has time to soak into the eyelashes. Hawkes also advised against rubbing the eyes repeatedly since this can harm the cornea and potentially damage the structure of the eye.\r\n\r\nMore detail about the recommendations is given below:\r\n<h3>Remove eye make-up before going to sleep</h3>\r\nHawkes says she is frequently asked how eye make-up should be removed and  which products it is best to use. Her advice is that it is not necessarily about which specific cleansing product you use, but more about the technique used.\r\n\r\nFor the upper lid, she recommends that the gentle pressing of the cotton pad over the closed eye is repeated two to three times, depending on how much make-up there is to remove.\r\n\r\nFor the lower lid, she recommends placing the pad on the under eye whilst looking up. “Be mindful that our eyelid skin is the most delicate skin on the face, so a gentle approach is key,” she says.\r\n\r\nFailing to clean the eyelids properly can cause chalazions (styes) to develop. “Management involves hot compresses and massage four times a day, but persistent ones often need surgical removal,” says Hawkes.\r\n<h3>Avoid rubbing the eyes</h3>\r\nRubbing the eyes can affect the cornea and eyelids and doing so repeatedly can even cause irreversible structural changes to the eyes, such as eyelid laxity. This can lead to various  problems, including excessive periocular lines, where the eyelid turns inwards or outwards. This can accelerate the ageing appearance of the eye region, warns Hawkes.\r\n<h3>Remove contact lenses before cleansing</h3>\r\nContact lenses should be taken out before cleansing the eye. “Whilst most of the eye make-up remover products state they are safe with contact lenses, I always recommend removing your lenses first.”\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<span class="article-meta-contents"><span class="article-meta-author">Author: Sally Robertson, B.Sc.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span class="article-meta-contents"><span class="article-meta-date">Reviewer: </span></span><span class="article-meta-contents"><span class="article-meta-reviewer">Kate Anderton, B.Sc.

It does not have to be exercise or sport – play, dance, gardening, and even house cleaning and carrying heavy shopping is all part of being physically active.\n\nAs cases of COVID-19 rapidly increas, efforts on containing and mitigating the outbreak involves but not limited to movement restriction. However, it is very important for people of all ages and abilities to be as active as possible anytime, anywhere. Even a short break from sitting, by doing 3-5 minutes of physical movement, such as walking or stretching, will help ease muscle strain, relieve mental tension and improve blood circulation and muscle activity. Regular physical activity can also help to give the day a routine and be a way of staying in contact with family and friends.\n\nHence, regular physical activity:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Strengthens the heart, muscles and bones.</li>\n 	<li>Prevents heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, dementia, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome and some cancers ( colon and breast cancer).</li>\n 	<li>Recommended in the treatment of stroke, diabetes, some cancers, low back pain, arthritis, neck pain and a whole lot of other health conditions.</li>\n 	<li>Boosts brain power</li>\n 	<li>Sharpens memory</li>\n 	<li>Prevents cognitive decline</li>\n 	<li>Boosts sleep quality</li>\n 	<li>Reduces the risk of depression</li>\n 	<li>Alleviates anxiety</li>\n 	<li>Boosts self-confidence</li>\n 	<li>Improves cardio-respiratory and muscular fitness</li>\n 	<li>Increases bone and muscular strength</li>\n 	<li>Helps to control weight</li>\n 	<li>Improves balance and flexibility (in older people, balance exercises help to reduce the risk of fall and injuries)</li>\n 	<li>Supports healthy growth and development in kids.</li>\n 	<li>Helps in the development of fundamental movement skills and building of social relationships in kids.</li>\n 	<li>Reduces the chances of diseases in later life among kids.</li>\n</ul>\n&nbsp;\n\nWHO has detailed recommendations on the amount of physical activity people of all ages should do to benefit their health and wellbeing. Here are the minimum levels recommended:\n\n<strong>Infants under the age of 1 year need to</strong>\n<ul>\n 	<li>be physically active several times a day.</li>\n</ul>\n<strong>Children under 5 years of age</strong>\n<ul>\n 	<li>should spend at least 180 minutes a day in physical activities, with 3-4 year-olds being moderately or vigorously active for an hour a day.</li>\n</ul>\n<strong>Children and adolescents aged 5-17years</strong>\n<ul>\n 	<li>all children and adolescents should do at least 60 minutes a day of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity, including activities that strengthen muscle and bone, at least 3 days per week.</li>\n</ul>\n<strong>Adults aged over 18 years</strong>\n<ul>\n 	<li>should do a total of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week, or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity throughout the week, including muscle-strengthening activities 2 or more days per week.</li>\n 	<li>older adults with poor mobility should do physical activity to enhance balance and prevent falls on 3 or more days per week.</li>\n</ul>\nIt is always better to be physically active than to be sedentary.  Start with small amounts and gradually increase frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise over time.\n\nBeing active during the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging for us all.  Because the opportunities to be physically active seem to be more restricted, it is even more important to plan in every day the ways to be active and to reduce the time spent sitting for long periods. Put simply, it is a critical time to ensure we all move more and sit less.\n\nTalk to a licenced physiotherapist about your physical activity goals and tips and ideas on how to meet World Health Organisation''s Physical Activity Guidelines amidst COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n&nbsp;', 'Physical activity and COVID-19', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3277-autosave-v1', '', '', '2020-04-14 12:53:06', '2020-04-14 12:53:06', '', 3277, 'https://physiosparks.com/2019/11/09/3277-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

The red swelling that often affects the eyelid could even require an emergency procedure.\r\n\r\nEyelids are the guards of your vision and are lined with eyelashes which protect against dust and chemicals entering. With all of the eyelash enhancing treatments, it is very important to take good care of the eyelids to protect against this damage.” Elizabeth Hawkes, Consultant Ophthalmic and Oculoplastic Surgeon\r\n<h2>What is causing the damage?</h2>\r\nThe answer is quite simple. It basically comes down to a lack of care and hygiene when taking care of the eyelids while they are at increased risk for infection.\r\n\r\nEyelashes play a crucial role in the aesthetic appearance of the eyes and have a life cycle of approximately 4 months, but chronic build-up of biofilm and debris on the eyelashes and eyelids can also cause irreversible eyelash loss." Elizabeth Hawkes, Consultant Ophthalmic and Oculoplastic Surgeon\r\n\r\nKeeping on top of removing the biofilm and debris is the only way to prevent infection. One medical device called BlephEx, which removes biofilm from the eyelashes and eyelids, can be used twice a year to help people keep their lashes clean.\r\n<h2>Maintaining good eyelid and lash hygiene</h2>\r\nPeople who suspect they have developed blepharitis will need to seek help from a professional who can recommend treatment. However, to minimize the risk of any further infections, it is essential to maintain general lid and lash hygiene.\r\n\r\nHawkes recommends using a cotton pad to gently remove any eye make-up. Contact lenses should be taken out first and the pad should be placed over a closed eye so that the cleaning product has time to soak into the eyelashes. Hawkes also advised against rubbing the eyes repeatedly since this can harm the cornea and potentially damage the structure of the eye.\r\n\r\nMore detail about the recommendations is given below:\r\n<h3>Remove eye make-up before going to sleep</h3>\r\nHawkes says she is frequently asked how eye make-up should be removed and  which products it is best to use. Her advice is that it is not necessarily about which specific cleansing product you use, but more about the technique used.\r\n\r\nFor the upper lid, she recommends that the gentle pressing of the cotton pad over the closed eye is repeated two to three times, depending on how much make-up there is to remove.\r\n\r\nFor the lower lid, she recommends placing the pad on the under eye whilst looking up. “Be mindful that our eyelid skin is the most delicate skin on the face, so a gentle approach is key,” she says.\r\n\r\nFailing to clean the eyelids properly can cause chalazions (styes) to develop. “Management involves hot compresses and massage four times a day, but persistent ones often need surgical removal,” says Hawkes.\r\n<h3>Avoid rubbing the eyes</h3>\r\nRubbing the eyes can affect the cornea and eyelids and doing so repeatedly can even cause irreversible structural changes to the eyes, such as eyelid laxity. This can lead to various  problems, including excessive periocular lines, where the eyelid turns inwards or outwards. This can accelerate the ageing appearance of the eye region, warns Hawkes.\r\n<h3>Remove contact lenses before cleansing</h3>\r\nContact lenses should be taken out before cleansing the eye. “Whilst most of the eye makeup remover products state they are safe with contact lenses, I always recommend removing your lenses first.”\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<span class="article-meta-contents"><span class="article-meta-author">Author: Sally Robertson, B.Sc.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span class="article-meta-contents"><span class="article-meta-date">Reviewer: </span></span><span class="article-meta-contents"><span class="article-meta-reviewer">Kate Anderton, B.Sc.

It can cause cervical and other kinds of cancer. Some cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx (back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils) are caused by HPV.\n\nThe HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that most commonly cause cancer. Both boys and girls should be vaccinated when they are 11 or 12 years old. The vaccine can be given to teen girls and young women through 26 years and teen boys and young men through 21 years who weren’t vaccinated when they were younger.\n\n*Talk to Your Kids About Smoking and Cancer\n\nNearly 9 out of 10 people who smoke cigarettes first try them by age 18, and 98% by age 26. In 2018, more than 1 in 4 high school students and about 1 in 14 middle school students had used a tobacco product in the past 30 days. Talk to your children about why you don’t want them to smoke.\n\nSmoke from other people’s cigarettes (secondhand smoke) can cause serious health problems in children and adults, including lung cancer in adults who have never smoked. Don’t expose your children to secondhand smoke.\n\n*Stay safe in the sun\n\nDaily outdoor activities such as going to school, running, walking the dog, and going to the park could predispose your kid to skin cancer. Just a few serious sunburns can increase your child’s risk of skin cancer later in life.\n\nSOURCE: Centres for Disease Control and Prevention', 'Cancer Prevention Starts in Childhood', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2734-autosave-v1', '', '', '2019-11-22 23:27:49', '2019-11-22 23:27:49', '', 2734, 'https://physiosparks.com/2019/11/22/2734-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Experts warn the public against regular consumption of such artificially sweetened drinks. The results of the study were published in the latest issue of the journal <em><a href="https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/STROKEAHA.118.023100">Stroke</a></em>.\n<div class="contentImage">\n\n&nbsp;\n<div class="imageCaption"><em>Image Credit: Evan Lorne / Sh</em></div>\n</div>\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\nResearch shows that consuming just two diet drinks or artificially sweetened drinks per day can raise the risk of stroke by a quarter (23 percent) and risk of heart disease by a third (29 percent). The risk of early death among diet drink consumers is 16 percent more than those who do not take such drinks, the study reveals.\n\nLead author of the study, Dr Yasmin Mossavar-Rahmani, from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York said, “Many well-meaning people, especially those who are overweight or obese, drink low-calorie sweetened drinks to cut calories in their diet. Our research and other observational studies have shown that artificially sweetened beverages may not be harmless and high consumption is associated with a higher risk of stroke and heart disease.”\n\nThis new study primarily focuses on women and the effects of these sweetened low calorie 9 ù on their heart health. A total of 81,714 post-menopausal women were included in the study and all of them were 50 to 79 years of age at the start of the study. Their health and wellbeing was tracked and followed up for twelve years from the commencement of the study. A single serving of a diet drink was taken to be 355 ml write the researchers. At the end of three years, the women were asked to report on their consumption of diet drinks, low calorie, artificially sweetened colas, fruit drinks, sodas etc. over the previous three months.\n\nThe researchers reveal that some groups are at a greater risk of heart disease. Obese women for example who were taking diet drinks were at double the risk of stroke. African-American women too had a greater risk of stroke, the study reveals. Dr. Mossavar-Rahmani however adds a small caveat saying that it is unclear whether diet drinks are directly causing these early deaths or there are other lifestyle and diet factors contributing to these numbers. The results were adjusted to some of the other risk factors such as age, high blood pressure and smoking. He said, “We don''t know specifically what types of artificially sweetened beverages they were consuming, so we don''t know which artificial sweeteners may be harmful and which may be harmless.”\n\nAccording to the latest recommendations from the American Heart Association there is no clear evidence yet that low-calorie sweetened beverages have an association with heart disease or stroke.

(3393, 4, '2019-12-30 23:32:24', '2019-12-30 23:32:24', 'Diabetes is a major cause of many complications such as stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, blindness, and lower limb amputation. At least 1.6 million people had died due to diabetes in 2016. Insulin resistance is a driving factor that leads to type 2 diabetes, which in itself can lead to a plethora of complications including cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, vision loss, and neuropathy.\n\nType 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that happens when the pancreas does not produce adequate amounts of insulin, or the body can’t effectively utilize the insulin it produces. Across the globe, there are an estimated 422 million people who have diabetes in 2014, up from 108 in 1980.\n\nThere are many factors that can contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes, and scientists are still uncovering more. Now, a team of researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has released a study suggesting that drinking more than two artificially sweetened or sugary soft drinks each day increases the risk of diabetes.\n<h2>What are sugary drinks?</h2>\nSugary drinks, also called sugar-sweetened drinks or soft drinks, are beverages containing added sugar and other sweeteners, such as fruit juice concentrates, sucrose, and high fructose corn syrup. Included in the sugary drink category are cola, tonic, pop, soda, lemonade, and fruit punch, to name a few.\n\nCollectively, these drinks are the single largest source of added sugar and calories in the U.S. diet. In other countries, the consumption of sugary drinks is increasing significantly due to widespread beverage marketing and urbanization.\n\nPublished in the journal<a href="https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2019/09/18/dc19-0734" rel="noopener"> </a><em><a href="https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2019/09/18/dc19-0734" rel="noopener">Diabetes Car</a>e</em>, the study aims to look for the long-term effects in the consumption of artificially-sweetened beverages (ASBs) and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and its connection with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.\n\nThe team found that drinking more artificially-sweetened beverages, as an alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soda and fruit juices, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, which is a chronic condition wherein the blood sugar level elevates.\n<h2>Sugary drinks and type 2 diabetes link</h2>\nThe study revealed that those who increase their sugary beverage consumption may have a greater risk of having type 2 diabetes. There are two types of sugar drinks – sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) such as sodas and fruit juices, and artificially-sweetened beverages (ASBs), such as diet drinks.\n\nThe researchers discovered that those who drank more SSBs had a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. The increase in risk was even true for those who drank ASBs, often branded as diet drinks. The risk of diabetes reduced when one daily serving of the sugary drink was replaced with water, tea, or coffee.\n\nFor the study, the team recruited 192,000 adults who are participants in three long-term studies – the Health Professional’s Follow-up Study, Nurses’ Health Study, and the Nurses’ Health Study II.\n\nThey divided the participants into three groups, the first group had type 2 diabetes, the second group had an uncommon type of diabetes, also called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), which is characterized to have the symptoms and hallmarks of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The last group had no diabetes and were healthy.\n\nThey also tracked the participants’ changes in sugary drink consumption for a long period through a food frequency tool answered every four years.\n\nThe team of researchers found that those who drank more than two sugary drinks each day were twice as likely to develop diabetes. However, they found that the link was weaker in those who have LADA. Specifically, they found that a high consumption of sweetened beverages by about 4 ounces each day for four years is tied to an 18-percent increase in the risk of diabetes.\n\nHence, replacing sugary drinks with water, tea, or coffee can help reduce the risk by 2 to 10 percent.\n<blockquote>The study results are in line with current recommendations to replace sugary beverages with noncaloric beverages free of artificial sweeteners. Although fruit juices contain some nutrients, their consumption should be moderated."\n\nFrank Hu, Study Author &amp; Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology</blockquote>\n&nbsp;\n<h2>How sweet are these drinks?</h2>\nSugary drinks typically contain 7 to 10 teaspoons full of sugar. To put this in perspective, a teaspoon of sugar is around 4.2 grams.\n\nAside from sodas, energy drinks also contain added sugars. These drinks contain as much sugar as sodas, but also contain caffeine that can increase the blood pressure. Some products even contain unknown ingredients whose long-term health effects have not yet been explored or identified.\n\nThe take-home message? Skip sugary drinks and drink more water.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nWritten by Angela Betsaida B.

(3366, 4, '2019-12-14 07:08:41', '2019-12-14 07:08:41', 'Many chemicals used at home and in various industries use per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Several studies have traced these substances in materials used for packaging foods, such as microwavable bags and food containers. A new study shows that eating outside rather than at home is significantly associated with higher blood concentrations of all five of these PFASs, especially in women.\r\n\r\nHigher concentrations (at up to 63%) were found with high popcorn consumption, and are probably from microwave popcorn bags. Lesser concentrations were seen with meals comprising fast food, pizzas and other eating places. Eating home-cooked food was associated with the lowest level of PFASs in blood probably due to the limited contact with food-contact materials containing these chemicals.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>What are PFASs?</h2>\r\nPFASs are synthetic chemicals, which both attract and repel water, as well as being very durable due to the presence of carbon-fluorine bonds. These chemicals are used in making non-stick products, and stain-resistant coatings, as well as fire-retardant foams, and paints, and are also involved in many manufacturing processes. There are well over 4500 of them on the market, and they have been found in drinking water, surface water and wild animals.\r\n\r\nLong-chain PFASs are associated with health consequences like immune disease, cancers, thyroid dysfunction, and damage to the reproductive and development functions. These chemicals, which persist in the environment for what seems like forever (actually up to 7 years in the human body), have been removed from production in North America and Europe, but not other parts of the world. They cannot be brought into the US without undergoing evaluation under the Significant New Use Rules first. Meanwhile, short-chain PFASs continue to be used, although they are subject to many of the same limitations, viz., long life, migration out of food packaging into the food itself (especially at higher heat and with longer contact, or with emulsified foods), and toxic effects on the living body.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class="item-body content-item-body">\r\n<div class="content">\r\n<h2>The study</h2>\r\nThe researchers retrieved data on the concentrations of PFASs in blood from over 10,000 adults and almost 700 children aged 3-11 years from the NHANES biomonitoring database, from the period 2003 to 2014. They looked at the data from ten PFASs.\r\n\r\nThey also took a survey on dietary intake patterns for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and 12 months in the form of food frequency questionnaires. For the first, the participants listed all the foods and beverages taken over the previous 24 hours, and these were classified as fast food/pizza restaurants, other restaurants, other sources but eaten at home, and other sources eaten outside home. Total calories were added up, and separately calculated for microwave popcorn and fish or shellfish.\r\n\r\nFor the 7-day recall, they asked about the frequency of meals eaten from outside the home other than school meals and community programs, and separately from fast food/pizza restaurants. The 30-day recall asked about servings of fish or shellfish. The 12-month recall was based only on food types and used to generate a daily frequency measure.\r\n<h2>The findings</h2>\r\nThe study showed the presence of PFASs in 70% of blood samples. Blood levels of these chemicals stayed constant over the study period except for two, PFOS and PFOA, which reduced by 75% and 50% respectively. Fast food consumption was reported by 35% and 70% of adults in the previous 24 hours and 7 days, and by 41% and 84% of teenagers over the same periods, respectively. Fast food/pizza restaurant food intake was significantly linked to higher levels of one PFAS.\r\n\r\n86% of people in the study had eaten popcorn in the last 12 months, but only 5% and 7% of adults and adolescents respectively over the last 24 hours. For fish and shellfish, the figures for 24 hours were 10% and 5% respectively, but over 12 months, 89% consumption of seafood was reported.\r\n\r\nAlmost 85% of popcorn consumption came from microwave popcorn, and the 24 hour recall in the latter group showed that it accounted for about 165 kcal per day.

Several studies have traced these substances in materials used for packaging foods, such as microwavable bags and food containers. A new study shows that eating outside rather than at home is significantly associated with higher blood concentrations of all five of these PFASs, especially in women.\r\n\r\nThe greatest increases in concentrations (at up to 63%) were found with high popcorn consumption, and are probably from microwave popcorn bags. Lesser increases are seen with meals comprising fast food, pizzas and other eating places. Eating home-cooked food was associated with the lowest level of PFASs in blood probably due to the limited contact with food-contact materials containing these chemicals.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>What are PFASs?</h2>\r\nPFASs are synthetic chemicals, which both attract and repel water, as well as being very durable due to the presence of carbon-fluorine bonds. These chemicals are used in making non-stick products, and stain-resistant coatings, as well as fire-retardant foams, and paints, and are also involved in many manufacturing processes. There are well over 4500 of them on the market, and they have been found in drinking water, surface water and wild animals.\r\n\r\nLong-chain PFASs are associated with health consequences like immune disease, cancers, thyroid dysfunction, and damage to the reproductive and development functions. These chemicals, which persist in the environment for what seems like forever (actually up to 7 years in the human body), have been removed from production in North America and Europe, but not other parts of the world. They cannot be brought into the US without undergoing evaluation under the Significant New Use Rules first. Meanwhile, short-chain PFASs continue to be used, although they are subject to many of the same limitations, viz., long life, migration out of food packaging into the food itself (especially at higher heat and with longer contact, or with emulsified foods), and toxic effects on the living body.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class="item-body content-item-body">\r\n<div class="content">\r\n<h2>The study</h2>\r\nThe researchers retrieved data on the concentrations of PFASs in blood from over 10,000 adults and almost 700 children aged 3-11 years from the NHANES biomonitoring database, from the period 2003 to 2014. They looked at the data from ten PFASs.\r\n\r\nThey also took a survey on dietary intake patterns for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and 12 months in the form of food frequency questionnaires. For the first, the participants listed all the foods and beverages taken over the previous 24 hours, and these were classified as fast food/pizza restaurants, other restaurants, other sources but eaten at home, and other sources eaten outside home. Total calories were added up, and separately calculated for microwave popcorn and fish or shellfish.\r\n\r\nFor the 7-day recall, they asked about the frequency of meals eaten from outside the home other than school meals and community programs, and separately from fast food/pizza restaurants. The 30-day recall asked about servings of fish or shellfish. The 12-month recall was based only on food types and used to generate a daily frequency measure.\r\n<h2>The findings</h2>\r\nThe study showed the presence of PFASs in 70% of blood samples.

However, some severe cases of spinal stenosis might require surgical intervention. Cauda equina syndrome requires an immediate surgery within the first 24 hours to avoid permanent loss of bladder, bowel and sexual function as well as weakness of the lower limbs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Can there be a permanent cure for knee osteoarthritis?</strong>\r\n\r\nNo please. Osteoarthritis simply means wear and tear (degeneration) of bones. As one advances in age, bone degeneration is bound to occur in any joint (intersection of two bones). There is absolutely no permanent cure for this. However, Physiotherapy helps to prepare the body for this through muscle retraining, balance exercises and lots more.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Does a fractured arm or dislocated joint affect other surrounding joints?</strong>\r\n\r\nSure. For example, a dislocated elbow has to be reduced (realign the affected bones anatomically) by an expert orthopod or musculoskeletal physiotherapist. This should be followed by immobilization of the joint and/or very mild active exercises to the joint as healing takes place. It is indeed noteworthy that the shoulder and wrist joints should not be neglected as joints stiffness may occur.  This also applies to a fractured limb. A great deal of expertise is required and this lies in the hands of musculoskeletal physiotherapists.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'FAQ', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '561-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-12-31 00:13:01', '2019-12-31 00:13:01', '', 561, 'https://physiosparks.com/2019/12/31/561-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

It does not have to be exercise or sport – play, dance, gardening, and even house cleaning and carrying heavy shopping is all part of being physically active.\r\n\r\nAs cases of COVID-19 rapidly increas, efforts on containing and mitigating the outbreak involves but not limited to movement restriction. However, it is very important for people of all ages and abilities to be as active as possible anytime, anywhere. Even a short break from sitting, by doing 3-5 minutes of physical movement, such as walking or stretching, will help ease muscle strain, relieve mental tension and improve blood circulation and muscle activity. Regular physical activity can also help to give the day a routine and be a way of staying in contact with family and friends.\r\n\r\nHence, regular physical activity:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Strengthens the heart, muscles and bones.</li>\r\n 	<li>Prevents heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, dementia, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome and some cancers ( colon and breast cancer).</li>\r\n 	<li>Recommended in the treatment of stroke, diabetes, some cancers, low back pain, arthritis, neck pain and a whole lot of other health conditions.</li>\r\n 	<li>Boosts brain power</li>\r\n 	<li>Sharpens memory</li>\r\n 	<li>Prevents cognitive decline</li>\r\n 	<li>Boosts sleep quality</li>\r\n 	<li>Reduces the risk of depression</li>\r\n 	<li>Alleviates anxiety</li>\r\n 	<li>Boosts self-confidence</li>\r\n 	<li>Improves cardio-respiratory and muscular fitness</li>\r\n 	<li>Increases bone and muscular strength</li>\r\n 	<li>Helps to control weight</li>\r\n 	<li>Improves balance and flexibility (in older people, balance exercises help to reduce the risk of fall and injuries)</li>\r\n 	<li>Supports healthy growth and development in kids.</li>\r\n 	<li>Helps in the development of fundamental movement skills and building of social relationships in kids.</li>\r\n 	<li>Reduces the chances of diseases in later life among kids.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWHO has detailed recommendations on the amount of physical activity people of all ages should do to benefit their health and wellbeing. Here are the minimum levels recommended:\r\n\r\n<strong>Infants under the age of 1 year need to</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>be physically active several times a day.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Children under 5 years of age</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>should spend at least 180 minutes a day in physical activities, with 3-4 year-olds being moderately or vigorously active for an hour a day.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Children and adolescents aged 5-17years</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>all children and adolescents should do at least 60 minutes a day of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity, including activities that strengthen muscle and bone, at least 3 days per week.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Adults aged over 18 years</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>should do a total of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week, or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity throughout the week, including muscle-strengthening activities 2 or more days per week.</li>\r\n 	<li>older adults with poor mobility should do physical activity to enhance balance and prevent falls on 3 or more days per week.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIt is always better to be physically active than to be sedentary.  Start with small amounts and gradually increase frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise over time.\r\n\r\nBeing active during the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging for us all.  Because the opportunities to be physically active seem to be more restricted, it is even more important to plan in every day the ways to be active and to reduce the time spent sitting for long periods. Put simply, it is a critical time to ensure we all move more and sit less.\r\n\r\nTalk to a licenced physiotherapist about your physical activity goals and tips and ideas on how to meet World Health Organisation''s Physical Activity Guidelines amidst COVID-19 pandemic.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Physical Activity and COVID-19', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'physical-activity-and-covid-19', '', '', '2020-04-14 13:02:31', '2020-04-14 13:02:31', '', 0, 'https://physiosparks.com/?p=5020', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The uterus (womb) is where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant.\r\n\r\nAll women are at risk for cervical cancer. It occurs most often in women over age 30. Long-lasting infection with certain<span style="color: #000000;"><strong> types of human papillomavirus (HPV)</strong></span> is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during sex. At least half of sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives, but few women will get cervical cancer as aresulf of this.\r\n\r\nCervical cancer is highly preventable in most Western countries because screening tests and a vaccine (HPV vaccine) to prevent HPV infections are available. When cervical cancer is found early, it is highly treatable and associated with long survival and good quality of life.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nContent source: Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention', 'Cervical cancer', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'cervical-cancer', '', '', '2020-01-10 23:29:50', '2020-01-10 23:29:50', '', 0, 'https://physiosparks.com/?p=3612', 0, 'post', '', 0),
