When writing an article, it always pays to get the bad news out of the way first. So, when you look at the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey covering the years 2001 to 2004, you find about two-thirds of all adults in the US are overweight and coming up to one-third are obese. Looking at the earlier survey results, you can see a theoretical rise to the entire population being obese in 2050. In fact, some groups are already heading...more
The Tea Party seems to be kicking up the dust, readying for a real fight over the notion of big government. This means we should talk about what government should be for. The Right seems to think there's no need for any central government except to run the defense of the country and manage the economy. The Left says there's always a need for government to protect the interests of the people, whether through education, healthcare, a transport...more
Plantar fasciitis is painful inflammation and swelling that affects the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot, primarily the bottom of the heel. This pain is usually at its worst in the morning, but it can dissipate during the course of the day. The pain changes as evening comes, usually manifesting as a dull aching. Sometimes rest can help alleviate the symptoms. Walking for extended periods of time can make the pain worsen, as noted by some patients.Plantar fascia is the name given to the band of thick and fibrous tissue which acts to keep the foot's bones in place. Cited as one of the most common of complaints in the foot, plantar fasciitis can be caused by several risk factors, including running, foot arch issues, obesity and sudden weight gain. These symptoms occur more commonly in middle-aged men than any other age group. Plantar fasciitis is often linked with heel spurs, but are not the cause of spurs, nor are they caused by spurs. The condition can manifest in feet with or without heel spurs.Diagnosis of this condition is usually by examination. Sometimes x-rays or other diagnosing equipment like ultrasounds and MRIs may be used to rule out other problems. When using...more

Our bodies can be difficult to read sometimes. A seemingly minor headache can signal the beginning of a bad bout of the flu; on the other hand, sharp abdominal pains may simply be the result of bloat and gas. That is why it is important to learn to recognize the signs of a serious difficulty before it gets out of hand. I find this especially true when it comes to oral health. Most of us try to ignore problems, hoping they will go away on their own, but this is rarely the case. Neglect of the issue can result in receding gums, bleeding, infection, root canals, and even tooth loss. So how can you tell when you have an issue that needs treatment? Let me indicate some warning signs.Sensitivity to hot and/or cold is not always a reliable indicator of a dental problem, but it can be. If you have developed this problem, ask yourself if you have had any recent dental work that could have induced this annoyance. For example, many people who have braces also have their teeth "polished," meaning their teeth are shaped with a special tool wielded by a dentist or orthodontist. Polishing can expose nerve endings, causing a sudden sensitivity. People who have their teeth bleached also have this...more
