Consuming a plant-based diet reduces the risk of stroke – determined by a study you can read by clicking here. According to it, people following a vegetarian diet rich in nuts, vegetables and soy have a significantly lower stroke risk than those who follow diets that include meat and fish.

One of the most common diseases of the knee joint is osteoarthritis (also called joint cartilage wear). The symptoms develop slowly and pain can torment you for years or decades. Because this is a degenerative condition, hospitals cannot do much for you. However, your doctor may recommend home physiotherapy devices. Heat therapy, TENS treatment, microcurrent, therapeutic ultrasond, magnetic therapy and softlaser treatment can help in different stages of osteoarthritis and in different ways.

If you want to see clearly among the millions of diets, nutritional systems and recommendations today, you really have to "roll up your sleeves." Mediterranean, DASH, Keto, blood type, carbohydrate-free, juice fasting, South Beach, paleo, flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan — and who knows how many other diets exist. On top of that, almost every fitness model, celebrity, etc. has some personal version of a nutritional "idea." Which one is right? Who knows. And of course I believe in my own! 🙂

New restrictions have been reintroduced because of the second wave of COVID-19. More and more people are losing patience and consider the measures excessive or unnecessary. Do we really need these measures or are politicians just stirring the s…?- many ask. Although I do not answer that exact question, my writing may help to "clear" the picture.

ETS is a modern and effective electrotherapy treatment method. It is primarily used to recover lost functions. Examples include improving or eliminating incontinence and relearning movement after paralysis caused by stroke.

Meat lovers received bad news a few years ago; now it is the turn of cheese lovers. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), arguing that despite medical evidence the agency has not declared cheeses to be products hazardous to health.

Female urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) is often caused by bladder prolapse or uterine prolapse. The bladder or uterus is displaced from its normal position, descends downward and presses on the pelvic floor muscles. This can cause a constant uncomfortable sensation, make sexual intercourse painful, and disrupt urinary and bowel continence. Its treatment is much more difficult than that of “simple” incontinence.

The term biofeedback refers to the detection of biological processes using technical equipment. Here I present one such device. The SineBravo is an electromyography (EMG)-based biofeedback device. It measures the electrical potential changes (EMG) that occur during muscle contractions and converts them into visible and/or audible signals. It can detect a muscle contraction even when the contraction is so slight that it is not visible. The SineBravo is not a diagnostic EMG, but a two-channel biofeedback device that, by continuously monitoring muscle activity, provides substantial help in performing rehabilitation exercises.

Microcurrent (MCR) therapy is a form of electrotherapy. Its main uses are pain relief and treating joint or tendon inflammation. It is also suitable for a range of other issues; you can read about those here. Now I will show what is needed for microcurrent treatment and how to perform it.

Fecal incontinence is a disturbance or inability to retain stool, causing involuntary leakage from the rectum. In the West it is also called "bowel incontinence." Its severity varies between individuals, ranging from a few drops seeping out to a complete loss of control. Whatever the cause, fecal incontinence can be extremely embarrassing. Many people feel ashamed and do not consult a doctor, yet in most cases treatment can lead to improvement.

Commenters on my Facebook page and members of my groups often mention various herbal teas that helped eliminate certain symptoms. There are many reactions to this — for example, many people complain that if herbal tea is so good, why doesn't their doctor recommend it to them? Really! What explains that doctors don't really recommend herbal teas? Why do they prefer medicines over natural active ingredients? I'll try to unravel this now.

In our country there are tens of thousands of runners. Some run on city asphalt roads, on tartan tracks in sports fields or parks, others cover kilometers on forest or mountain trails. The harder and more frequent the training, the more common the associated complaints, pains and injuries become. The Globus Runner Pro sports muscle stimulator was created for them. My article discusses what it can be used for.
