Some information Know About Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
|
|
|
Vitamin B5 (also known as pantothenic acid) is part of the B-complex group of vitamins. The discovery of this vitamin is credited to R.J. Williams who made the initial discovery in 1919 and isolated it from yeast in 1933. The main function of pantothenic acid is to help your body's cells break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy but it does much more than just this. In the following article I will be helping you learn a bit more about this vitamin by discussing four things you may not know about B5.
1) IT IS A WATER SOLUBLE VITAMIN:- Vitamin B5 is water soluble which means that it dissolves in water. Water soluble vitamins are not as stable as fat soluble vitamins and are sensitive to light, heat and water. Also, water soluble vitamins cannot be stored in your body for long periods and any excess is generally excreted in your urine. Therefore, you need to take extra care when storing, preparing and cooking foods that contain pantothenic acid to ensure that it is preserved. You also need to make sure that you get the RDA of this vitamin (5mg for both men and women) each day to ensure your body is getting enough.
2) IT WORKS WITH THE OTHER B-COMPLEX VITAMINS:- As I mentioned above the main function of this vitamin is to help your body break down food into a usable form of energy. However, vitamin B5 does not work alone when it does this - it works with the other seven B-complex vitamins. Without the other B-complex vitamins it cannot break down food for energy effectively. Therefore, whilst it is important to get the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of B5 each day it is just as important to get the RDA of the other B-vitamins too.
3) IT CAN BE FOUND IN ALL FOODS:- Vitamin B5 can actually be found in all foods. However, some foods contain much higher levels than others. Some of the richest food sources of this vitamin are eggs, salmon, wholemeal products and fresh vegetables. Therefore, whilst you are always going to be getting some pantothenic acid in your diet to get optimal levels make sure you are consuming some of the foods listed above.
4) IT HELPS YOUR BODY PRODUCE RED BLOOD CELLS:- Pantothenic acid plays a key role in the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells help transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells in your body. Your body's cells need oxygen to function properly so this is another reason to make sure you are getting the RDA of vitamin B5.
As you can see there is a lot more to vitamin B5 than you probably realised. I hope this article has given you a better insight into the importance of this vitamin and its role in your body.

What is chronic back pain?
Chronic back pain is defined as pain in the back region that lasts from more than three months. It is also the most common ailment among inhabitants of the UK, as some 60-80 percent of residents say that they experience significant chronic back pain.
As chronic back pain can be indicative of extremely serious medical conditions – including cancer, it is best to investigate the cause right away.
Acute or chronic back pain?
Chronic back pain is often attributed to degenerative disorders or traumatic conditions of the spine. Additionally, it is also associated with various ailments, including fibrositis, inflammatory spondyloarthropathy, and metabolic bone conditions.
It can also strike anyone at any age, race or social station; however, the affliction appears to most often strike people between the ages of 45-59.
There are three levels of back pain, namely chronic, sub acute and acute back pain. Acute back pain is when the pain only last for about six weeks, sub acute back pain lasts for about 6-12 weeks and chronic back pain lasts for 12 weeks and beyond.
What causes chronic back pain?
While there is no one underlying cause for chronic back pain, research indicates that there are various risk factors for the development of chronic back pain. Some of these risk factors include cigarette smoking, twisting in awkward positions due to a repetitive job or sport, forwards bending, constant, strenuous physical activity, morbid obesity and exposure to intense vibrations causes by motorized vehicles or industrial machines.
Another cause is chronic nerve root back pain, which occurs in less that 5% of all cases. This type of chronic back pain is generally caused by a slipped disc, which compressed the nerve as it leaves the spinal cord.
More serious chronic back pain
In an even smaller amount of cases, chronic back pain can be caused by severe, in some cases, potentially deadly conditions, like tuberculosis or cancer. An abnormality of the spine or an infection can also be a serious underlying cause of chronic back pain; this is why it is always best to visit a doctor if the pain persists.
Will Painwave X4000 help with chronic back pain?
It surely can! Just what is Painwave X4000? It is a space age, non-invasive drug free pain management technology that utilizes the body's own bioelectromagnetic ecosystem to block pain receptors. By simply moving the unit in a circular motion over the affected area, the Painwave X4000 will eliminate pain and in time possibly eradicate it for good. The Painwave X4000 can also help improve blood circulation as well as stimulate lymphatic movements and cell activity.

MV Hospital Promotes Prevention of Childhood Obesity and Diabetes
|
|
|
Hospital for Diabetes & Diabetes Research Centre, Chennai and the WHO collaborating centre in India, launched a campaign titled ‘Campaign on Prevention of Childhood Obesity and Diabetes’ to address this concern. A manual detailing facts and guidelines on prevention of obesity for children was also launched to help cultivate long-term weight control. The manual, an awareness handbook on the subject in the country— Manual on Prevention of Childhood Obesity—was launched by Thangam Thennarasu, Honorable Minister of Education, Tamil Nadu.
Dr Vijay Viswanathan, Managing Director, MV Hospital for Diabetes, said, "The increase of obesity in children in India especially in the urban areas is quite alarming. Therefore, we decided to concentrate on the food habits of children and assist parents in providing their children with a healthy nutritious diet. The manual also has guidelines on physical activity and routines that would not over-stress the child but help stay fit." He requested the Government of Tamil Nadu to support the Institute in performing an impact assessment in the state. The study would form a base for understanding the need for awareness on prevention of childhood obesity and diabetes not just in the state, but for the entire country, he said. "We are planning to submit a memorandum to the Government in this regard and hope to launch the project soon," Dr Viswanathan added.
Goal of treatment for Diabetes :
The main goal of treating diabetes is to lower blood sugar to a normal level. Lowering and controlling blood sugar may help prevent or delay complications of diabetes such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and amputation.
High blood sugar can be lowered by diet and exercise and by certain medicines.
Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes with Sitagliptin (Januvia)
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which body does not make enough insulin, and the insulin that body produces does not work as well as it should. Body can also make too much sugar. When this happens, sugar [glucose] builds up in the blood. This can lead to serious medical problems.
RECENT APPROACH FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES – SITAGLIPTIN (JANUVIA):
*Sitagliptin (Januvia) helps to improve the level of insulin after a meal
*It decreases the amount of sugar made by the body
*It works when blood sugar is high, especially after a meal. This is when the body needs the greatest amount of help in lowering blood sugar. It also lowers blood sugar between meals. *It is unlikely to cause low sugar [Hypoglycemia] because it does not work when blood sugar is low
*It can be used alone or in combination with certain other medicine that lowers blood
sugar along with recommended diet and exercise program
CANNOT BE USED FOR PEOPLE WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
*Type I Diabetes [who needs only insulin]
*Diabetic Ketoacidosis [increased ketones in blood and urine]
*Any kidney problems or any post or present medical problems *Allergy to Sitagliptin
* Children below 18 years of age
* Pregnancy and breast feeding woman
DOSAGES:
*100 mg tablet is available in the market
*Once a day by mouth with or without food
*Diet and exercise can help our body use its blood sugar better. We should follow the
recommended diet, exercise and weight loss program while taking Sitagliptin
SIDE EFFECTS:
Like other medicines, may cause side effects. But it was usually mild and did not cause patient to stop taking Sitagliptin. The side effects reported in patient treated with Sitagliptin were similar to side effects in patient treated with a tablet containing no medication [a placebo].
When used with sulfonylurea like Daonil, low blood sugar [Hypoglycemia] due to sulfonylurea can occur. Lower doses of sulfonylurea medicine may be required.
When Januvia [Sitagliptin] and Metformin [like Glyciphage] were started together the following side effects were reported.
*Diarrhea
*Indigestion
*Flatulence
*Vomiting
*Headache
OTHER EFFECTS OF THE MEDICINE:
*Allergic reaction
*Upper respiratory infection
*Stuffy nose and sore throat
