Being tired all the time can be attributed to over scheduling and hectic lifestyles, however, there may be more serious reasons for chronic fatigue.
Check with your physician to see if you may be suffering from one of these five surprising reasons for chronic fatigue.
It seems that Americans are getting too much sodium in their diets.
Excess sodium raises blood pressure and makes it difficult to lose weight.
Hypertension can lead to heart attack and stroke so it is worth monitoring your diet to eliminate excess salt.
Currently, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommends the average individual should consume a limit of 2,300 milligrams per day. But the average person’s actual sodium consumption per day – 3,300 milligrams, according to the report. And that doesn’t include salt added at the table.
Since sodium acts a preservative it is found in many processed foods.
Breads, rolls, lunch meats and pizza are just some of the worst culprits contributing to excessive sodium in our daily diets.
Sexually transmitted disease among seniors is rising amid more social, sexually active lifestyles.
New research published Thursday by the British Medical Journal shows that 80% of 50 to 90 years olds are sexually active. And with that, cases of sexually transmitted diseases have more than doubled in this age group over the past 10 years
Men often avoid condoms because of issues with erectile dysfunction and older women are more vulnerable to disease physiologically because of the changes which occur as their bodies age.
Numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that incidences of syphilis and chlamydia in adults aged 45 to 64 have nearly tripled over the past decade. Cases of Gonorrhea are up as well.
Green tea drinkers seem to stave off the effects of old age better than non-drinkers.
Following nearly 14,000 adults age 65 and older, they found that people who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability” over the next three years.
Functional disability refers to problems with daily activities like going to the store or doing housework, or difficulty with more-basic needs like dressing and bathing.
Not only their mental and physical health was better but also their emotional well being and social lives were better, as well.
It is estimated that 30-40 percent of men over 50 years old will be affected by prostate cancer, however, there is some debate in the medical community regarding which course of action is best going forward.
Routine monitoring of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) may reveal false- positive, and positive results which may later lead to unnecessary and often harmful treatment.
Elevated levels of this protein can indicate prostate cancer, but it can be caused by other things as well..
Several studies have suggested many men are over-screened for prostate cancer, and this over-screening has in many cases caused more harm than good, leading men to chose a biopsy and treatment for a slow-growing cancer that may have never caused them harm during their lifetimes.
Alternative strategies for men with low-risk prostate cancer typically fall into two camps: observation with and without the intent to cure.
Do get a second opinion when treating your condition and consult your physician for the best course of action for your case.
