Health: The Signs And Symptoms Of Asbestosis

The Signs And Symptoms Of Asbestosis - What To Look Out For

Written by Adam Jones

Asbestosis is a disease caused by exposure to high levels to asbestos, a dangerous mineral that can also result in mesothelioma, which is a deadly cancer. It is important for anyone that works or has worked with asbestos – and those that think they may have been exposed to asbestos particles through some other source – to familiarize themselves with repparttar

signs and

symptoms of asbestosis. When airborne asbestos fibers and dust are breathed in, because of repparttar 142110

particle deposition asbestosis can occur. This is a disease that can result in scarring of lung tissue and can reduce breathing and lung capacity.

One thing to bear in mind is that diseases that are related to asbestos can have a very long latency period. This means that repparttar 142111 symptoms of repparttar 142112 disease may not manifest for several decades following exposure to asbestos. Many of repparttar 142113 people that are now being diagnosed with asbestosis and other diseases that are related to asbestos are between repparttar 142114 ages of fifty and seventy - those that worked with asbestos in decades gone by. Some of repparttar 142115 symptoms that are associated with asbestosis include: difficulty breathing and shortness of breath, persistent cough, difficulties in performing physical activities, and chest pains.

Why Supplement?

Why Supplement?

If you are relying on your diet to deliver all of your nutritional needs, you may be coming up short. food today does not have repparttar same value as it did 50 years ago. Back then, farmers restored nutrients to repparttar 142089 soil by mulching with natural fertilizers, and by rotating crops. Today there is extensive use of chemical substances that eventually deplete repparttar 142090 soil of some of repparttar 142091 essential components necessary for adequate nutrition. The end result is repparttar 142092 supply of beautiful produce that looks great, but doesn't have near repparttar 142093 vitamins and minerals it should have, and did have 50 years ago.

Today's food also loses value in repparttar 142094 processes it is subject to. Canning, freezing, and even cooking fresh food all cost in nutritional value. The very popular added convenience of "quick to fix" or "ready to eat" takes away even more necessary elements.(Not to mention repparttar 142095 chemical food preservatives, stabilizers, flavor enhances, artificial colors, and other stuff you are ingesting!)

The FDA Food Pyramid recommends repparttar 142096 following:

Fats, Oils, Sweets - use sparingly Milk, Yogurt, Cheese - 2-3 servings/day Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry beans, Eggs, Nuts - 2-3 servings/day Vegetable Group - 3-5 servings/day Fruit Group - 2-4 servings/day

Doesn't look TOO terribly tough to accomplish. If you are focused, and plan your meals, and are organized enough to fulfill all of repparttar 142097 requirements. Then you have to make sure everyone in your household actually CONSUMES all of repparttar 142098 carefully planned and presented meals.(Does everyone at your house like spinach? I am repparttar 142099 only one here!)

Most people today are too busy to plan and deliver balanced, adequate meals every day. I can't imagine being in one place long enough to eat 5 servings of vegetables in one 24 hour period, let alone finding that many that my daughter will eat.

But even if you ARE resourceful enough to accomplish this task, based on repparttar 142100 information at repparttar 142101 beginning of this report, you are probably going to come up short anyway. Information from repparttar 142102 U.S. Department of Agriculture reflects that it would require as many as 75 servings of spinach (my favorite!) grown today to deliver repparttar 142103 same amount of iron in one serving of spinach grown in 1948.
