Written by Niall Roche


Continued from page 1

Amongst some ofrepparttar bad press that low carb diets receive are worrying stories of people dying while on a low carb diet. These hyped up media tales are tied to one word - ketoacidosis. This particular condition occurs when a person goes on a zero carbohydrate diet and/or suffers from diabetes. Duringrepparttar 113853 ketosis phaserepparttar 113854 blood becomes overly acidic to a critical point. Coma and death can follow quickly if medical attention is not immediately sought.

Does everybody following a low carb diet runrepparttar 113855 risk of ketoacidosis? Not unless you have a history of diabetes (diagnosed or undiagnosed) and you also totally eliminate carbohydrates from your diet. Even then only a small number of people are actually susceptible torepparttar 113856 effects of ketoacidosis when compared torepparttar 113857 general population.

The results that low carb diets produce are hard to argue with. Rapid weight loss in a short space of time whilst on a high fat, high protein diet. These results fly inrepparttar 113858 face of conventional medical wisdom and serve to constantly annoyrepparttar 113859 established medical community.

Low carb dieting is not going to disappear any time soon. Especially not as long as major Hollywood celebrities are successfully using Atkins and showing off their results torepparttar 113860 world media.

Alternative Treatments For Arthritis Pain Relief

Written by Priya Shah


Continued from page 1

Glucosamine - Recent studies have shown thatrepparttar cartilage-building substance called glucosamine is effective forrepparttar 113852 long-term relief of osteoarthritis pain. In some people, glucosamine appears to even slowrepparttar 113853 deterioration of joints over time and reinforce joint cartilage. Whether or not it can actually reverserepparttar 113854 disease is still unclear. Glutathione

Glutathione - Glutathione is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties and can be safely boosted by consuming its precursors available inrepparttar 113855 supplements, N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) or undenatured whey protein. You can find out more about it here http://www.1whey2health.com

Magnets - Although magnets that are worn as jewelry or placed on bed linens have been reported by some to be effective pain relievers, results are still preliminary; doctors claim that these magnets are not strong enough.

MSM - Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane is an organic sulfur supplement that appears to slow downrepparttar 113856 degeneration but is not yet proven and approved. It is used inrepparttar 113857 reduction of inflammation and can be used in conjunction with glucosamine, in some instances.

Nettle leaf - Nettles can reduce a patient's need for NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) by up to 70 percent.

Vitamin B - It is an effective pain reliever. It works best onrepparttar 113858 knee and can help stop degeneration that is caused by free-radical molecules, not only inrepparttar 113859 joints but in other areas ofrepparttar 113860 body as well.

Vitamin E - This antioxidant is used primarily for osteoarthritis.

Ginger - Ginger is an antioxidant that acts as an inflammatory with no major side effects.

These are merely a few examples of what an arthritis sufferer can use when seeking pain relief from natural remedies. Due torepparttar 113861 lack of scientific study and testing on many of these alternate treatments, there is no proof of their effectiveness.

Nothing can cure osteoarthritis, but nutritional supplements,repparttar 113862 application of heat or cold to affected joints, exercise, and weight loss can improverepparttar 113863 function and flexibility of your joints, and perhaps even slowrepparttar 113864 progress ofrepparttar 113865 disease.
