Top 10 Health Conditions Affecting Americans

Hypertension; I suffer from this. Oddly enough I didn't

start having problems until I lost a bunch of weight

and my mother in law died. The nation's health

impact is 12.5%. I take regular prescription medication

and I also take some vitamins to help.

Hypertension is also known as the silent

killer because it has no early significant symptoms.

Major Depression; oddly enough I have this too!

I was diagnosed Bipolar at the age of 15.

National health impact is 9%, doesn't sound like a

large number but there are a lot of people

that don't know they have major depression.

High Cholesterol....yes you guessed it I have this too,

I have had it since I was a kid. I take prescription medication

and vitamins to help. The national health impact is 8.6%

Coronary Artery Disease, the national health impact is 7%.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking and

diabetes can all damage or injure the inner layer of

coronary arteries. Over time, the damage can worsen

and become coronary artery disease, putting

you at higher risk for a heart attack.

Type 2 Diabetes, nation health impact 5.5%.

People with diabetes have blood sugar levels that rise

higher than normal. Type 2 diabetes is the most common

form of the disease caused by obesity and lack of

physical activity,

in about 90% of the cases in the USA.

Alcohol use Disorder, national health impact 3.35%.

This doesn't count individuals who drink lightly,

this counts for people who can't put the bottle down

no matter how many times they have tried.

Very high blood alcohol levels can result in coma or death.

COPD, national health impact 3.3%. Seeing that percentage

seems low to me especially with how many people smoke

in the USA. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease.

Psychotic Disorder; national health impact 2.9%..... this includes schizophrenia and delusional disorder,

it's hard to maintain a sense of reality.

Crohn's Disease, national health impact 2.7%... for

those who don't know what this is, it's a disease

that causes inflammation in the digestive tract.

If you have any of these please keep doing checkups with your pcp,

take your prescription medication and look

into vitamins and supplements.

There is always help out there, don't be afraid to ask.

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right!
