Stop bed wetting and retrain your brain

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Monday 14 April 2008 at 5:35 am

Many doctors believe that the best way to stop bed wetting is to retrain your brain to either wake yourself up in the nigh when the need to empty your bladder arises or keep you asleep and able to hold the urine until you rouse in the morning. These imperatives can be achieved by way of special exercises for the bladder, such as reading books about staying dry at night, visualizing yourself waking up dry, holding off using the toilet until later in the daytime and even using a special alarm that is attached to a pad placed in your underpants while you sleep. If your bladder begins to empty while you are still asleep the alarm will sense it thereby causing the alarm to buzz, vibrate or in some cases both. This will quickly and easily wake up the bed wetter. Wetting Bed

What are heart disease risk factors?

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Monday 14 April 2008 at 5:33 am

There are two types of risk factor, ones that are outside of human control and others that we can control, below is a list of both types of risk factors. Risk factors outside human control. Age – As we grow older we increase the risk of heart disease dramatically, over two thirds of all heart disease sufferers are aged 65 or over. Sex – Although it is an old wives tale that heart disease is a male only condition, men do hold a greater risk of heart disease than women. Family history – Some families have history of heart problems, this means that if one or both parents have suffered with heart disease then the children hold a higher risk of developing heart disease themselves.

Primary enuresis reasons

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Monday 7 April 2008 at 5:20 am

Be aware that primary enuresis is often believed to happen for one of two reasons. First the child has an immature bladder either in a physical sense or a neurological one and secondly, the child falls into a very deep sleep and is unaware that the bladder has sent a message to the brain that it is full and needs to be emptied. As well primary enuresis is believed to have a genetic link and may not be something a person can help. Adult Bedwetting

Bedwetting and Bladder Control

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Saturday 5 April 2008 at 10:45 am

Bladder control during the daytime comes first and then comes nighttime control. Daytime bladder control is easier to achieve because the person is awake and alert and is able to answer the call of their bladder. On average a child is able to gain control of his or her bladder control in the daytime by the time he is two or three years old. Bladder control at night happens closer to the age of four, and sometimes five in some children. Girls have a tendency to become successfully trained in using the toilet earlier than boys do. Boys also tend to experience bed wetting at night more than girls do. Bedwetting

Reasons for hypertension

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Saturday 5 April 2008 at 10:42 am

One of the reasons for hypertension is simply because the force of gravity is reversed and venous return becomes significantly greater. Normally, the muscles of the calf and other skeletal muscles in the lower extremities must contract in order to pump unoxygenated blood and waste back to the heart through the veins. In inverted poses, gravity causes the blood to flow easily back through the veins and this brings the blood pressure in the feet to a minimum. This in effect gives skeletal muscles a chance to rest.

Atkins success stories

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Thursday 3 April 2008 at 1:56 pm

Your success on the Atkins diet can also be determined by your medical and family history. If you have any pre-diabetic symptoms, or diabetes itself, a reduced carb diet like Atkins may be right for you. Significant weight gain can also be helped by the Atkins diet. Normally, the more overweight you are, the more likely you are to have high blood pressure, high triglycerides and high blood glucose. If any member of your family has diabetes or is significantly overweight, this can also put you at risk for these conditions. Your tendency toward these conditions on a genetic level can mark a necessity for a low carbohydrate diet like Atkins. The Atkins plan has been shown to improve weight and control blood sugar issues. If these are problems in your family history, then you may want to consider the Atkins diet. Atkins diet menu plan

Bed wetting and hypnosis

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Thursday 3 April 2008 at 1:55 pm

Hypnosis is another alternative treatment for bed wetting that has met with a certain level of success. By listening to a special hypnosis tape this method retrains the bed wetter’s brain to wake up when his or her bladder is full and then proceed to go to the bathroom to empty it, thus not having any leakage in the bed. Hypnosis has very few if any negative side effects and it is a very safe therapy. As well it is not costly nor does it take up a lot of a patient or therapist’s time. In fact recent studies into the effectiveness of hypnotherapy have shown that it can be a speedy therapy that takes only four to six sessions for results to be noticed. The combination of hypnosis and a bed wetting alarm is almost a definite guarantee of success. It is wise to speak with your healthcare provider at length about the problem of bed wetting before you seek out a form of alternative treatment. Teenage Bedwetting

Helping bedwetting children

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Tuesday 1 April 2008 at 7:00 am

Another method of helping children with their bladder control is to have your child practice keeping urine in for increasingly longer periods of time when they have to go. If your child is older than 7 and is still experiencing problems with bed wetting after trying some of the above solutions, doctors may recommend medicine. One type of medication causes the body to produce less urine, and another increases the bladder’s capability to hold more urine. While not a cure for bed wetting, these medications may help you to decrease your likelihood of wetting the bed. Remember to not make your child feel guilty about the bed-wetting, but be sure to let them know that it is partially in their power to help stop their problem. Wetting Bed
