This Is The Fifth Disease

Fifths disease is also known as hand, foot, and mouth disease and is a disease that commonly occurs in children. It usually begins with a symptom that is known as slapped cheek appearance in which the cheeks become extremely flushed and there can be some stomach symptoms associated with it. It usually is something that comes without a fever and is usually gone within just a few days.

One of the biggest problems with Fifth's Disease is that it is highly contagious and because there is no fever associated with it even the health department feels that it's okay for these children to attend school even when presenting with these symptoms, therefore spreading it around. Now if the only issues associated with the disease were those listed above this might be acceptable but Fifth's Disease can present much differently in individuals who are anemic, infants and toddlers, and adults.

In adults for instance it's rare but not impossible to have the slapped cheek appearance as well as the stomach problems. Adults get a bonus from Fifth's Disease however and that's in the form of transient joint pain. The pain moves from one joint to another without warning, can be extremely painful, and this can happen for up to six months following exposure to the disease. Fortunately most people find that the joint pain goes away within the first month.

In people that are anemic and in infants and toddlers the Fifth's Disease can actually become Scarlet Fever, since it is a strep-based virus. In this case a child would need antibiotics and would run a high fever in association with a red skin rash. In this situation medical attention and isolation are deemed appropriate. Usually after treatment for only a couple of days the patient will gradually improve and both the fever and the rash will go away.

Overall, it may seem like a little illness that doesn't do too much of anything, however, hand, foot, and mouth disease is an illness that has different ramifications for different individuals and is not something that should be taken lightly. If you or your child has been exposed to this disease or begin manifesting these symptoms seek out the advice of physician and try to avoid contact with others for at least the first few days. Since everyone reacts differently to this disease it is best to limit your exposure to others to help avoid spread of this illness and its various forms.

Detox Diet Dangers

Several years ago, detox diet could be a trend. Many people followed him with only consume fruits and vegetables, to remove toxins and of course lose weight.

However, according to David Bender, a professor emeritus of nutritional biochemistry, diet has no benefit at all. He emphasized that there are no shortcuts to losing weight, including a detoxification diet.

This detox diet is widely recommended earlier because it is considered quite healthy, just eating enough fruits and vegetables including the increase of drinking water and avoiding caffeine, sugar and alcohol.

The effect of this diet touted to increase energy and allow the body to focus on 'self healing' or self-healing. Professor Bender denied this, stating that the term 'detox' has now been developed from the actual meaning.

"The term detox has been far from the original, which actually describes the chemical reactions in the production of urine. Now more a marketing term that has no meaning," said Professor Bender, quoted from Telegraph.co.uk.

He also revealed that detox diets that have been done a lot of people, not unfounded, and an error and even dangerous. "I'm not sure of the self-healing and energy could be improved is nonsense," said Bender.

According to him, increased body weight due to the imbalance between food intake with physical activity. The key to losing weight is actually very simple. "Just need more exercise and reduce food portions," said Professor Bender

Effect Of Eating In Diabetes

Chewing food quickly is the usual bad habits on busy schedules. Not only making the gut work harder, chew imperfect also triggers weight gain and diabetes.

As reported by Times of India, a study said that chew rapidly increasing quantity of sugar in the blood at once. This condition makes the person likely to develop impaired glucose tolerance, known as pre-diabetes.

Pradeep Ratnaparkhi doctor explained, "Blood glucose levels in people with impaired glucose tolerance showed a higher rate than normal, thus increasing the risk of developing diabetes."

If no action is taken promptly, can result in type 2 diabetes within 10 years with the figure likely to reach 50 percent. "Eating in a hurry is not good for health," he said.

In a previous study, eat fast cud lead to an increase in the number of calories. The brain takes about 20 minutes to capture the signals the stomach is full. Thus, fast food less than 20 minutes tended to increase the intake to the brain to realize the stomach is full.

Increase in calories due to eating too fast as it in turn is also associated with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. "Enjoying a leisurely meal while doing a healthy diet and regular exercise can help control blood sugar levels and prevent diabetes," said Ratnaparkhi.
