Toenail fungus from a Podiatrist point of view

Jan 22, 2019

2011

What is toenail fungus?

Toenail fungus or onychomycosis is a problem caused by dermophytes fungi. This group of fungi thrives on skin and keratin. They rich under the name and then start growing and damage the nail and discolour it to make it white, brown or yellow. As a result of this infection, the nail will become thickened, harden, brittle and may fall off. It is easy to pick up nail fungus from different places such as shower, locker room and swimming pools. People who have underlying health problems like diabetes, immune deficiency and circulatory issues are more likely to catch this problem.

It is a problem which needs time to cure. It is very difficult to cure and the treatment may go on several weeks and months.

A full medical history

A full medical history of the patient will help. Podiatrists say that a full medical history is essential to devise the best treatment option. It is important to know how long the patient has been suffering from it and what are the treatments applied before. Then it will help the podiatrist to understand the extent of the problem. If there are some other medical problems the patient is suffering from, that can change the choice of treatment. The full medical history will also help in deciding about the oral medication which is the first line of defence. If you, as a patient, have certain underling health issues, oral medication may create some side effects. If the doctor knows about it, it will be easier for him/her to prescribe something which will cure the problem without any side effects for you.

Physical exam

When the podiatrist knows about the medical history, he/she may start a physical exam. The physical exam is very much necessary to find out the quality of the problem. The podiatrist will perform the physical exam to find out if it is thick, whether it smell is not, the colour, whether it is flaky or not, the location of the problem, whether it is at the base of the nail or tip of the nail, whether it is superficial or not, whether it is white, yellow or green black. All these and says will come from physical exam and this physical exam will ensure better treatment for the patient.

Lab analysis

Simply performing a physical examination and at the toenail may not be enough for the podiatrist to diagnose the problem. It is difficult to say whether it's an infection of fungus, mould or yeast just by looking at the problem. In that case, the sample of the nail is to be sent to the laboratory for a proper analysis, which will be more accurate. For prescribing the best treatment option such analyses is very important. Once the problem is correctly identified, the podiatrist can find the best solutions and give the patient a prescription for faster results.

Oral treatments

There are many oral treatments available which will help you to treat toenail fungus. Some of the oral antifungal treatments available include Lamisil (terbinafine), Diflucan (fluconazole) or Sporanox (itraconazole) etc. Such medicines may take about three months to work. Some of the medicines may have some side effects that include stomach upset, skin problems, dizziness and liver damage. Most of the medicines are expensive and you should be careful because liver problem is a well-known side-effect of such medicines. Many of the medicines may stay in your system even after six months after you stop using them.

Nutrition hacks to build more muscle

Jan 20, 2019

1975

Nutrition can help you to achieve your dream of building more and more muscle. There are some nutrition hacks which will help you to achieve more muscle within a short time.

The amount of carbohydrate needed

The amount of carbs will play a big role in deciding how much muscle you will build. If you want to gain muscle, it is not possible without at least in moderate surplus in calories over what you burn during the day. If you exercise regularly, then you may need a few more calories than that. However too much carbohydrate may not be the way to gain size and also stay lean.

Carbohydrates are the main source of fuel for your body. If you do not consume the necessary carbs, your body will break down muscle for amino acids and it means you will lose your muscle. Glycogen is the stored form of carbohydrate present in your body and in general your body can store about 400 g of glycogen at the time.

Carbs timing

Timing of the carbs is also very important for maximising its effect on your body and helping you to build more muscle. The main time to consume carbohydrate is in the morning as soon as you wake up. That will help you to take advantage of its protein sparing or anabolic capabilities. Since you have not eaten for the last 6 to 8 hours and your cortisol levels in the body are elevated, you need more carbohydrates to maximise the results. You also need carbohydrate post workout. When you consume high glycaemic carbohydrates after you exercise, it will spike insulin levels and that will pull amino acids from the blood and deliver them to muscle tissue.

You should also consume carbs 1 to 1 � hours before exercise.

Don't avoid fats

Healthy fat is very essential for your body because it will reduce inflammation, increase heart health and will lower blood cholesterol. You need poly and monounsaturated fats. If you want to increase your dietary fat, you will need in at butter, chicken breasts, turkey sandwich, oil and vinegar. If you consume omega-3 supplements or fish at least twice a week that will also help you to get the necessary healthy fats. Omega-3 fatty acids are good for you because they help you to control blood pressure, decrease triglyceride levels and decrease the risk of heart disease.

Even though you need healthy fats, moderate amounts of saturated fat is also necessary for your body and especially if you want to build more muscle. Little bit of saturated fat occasionally will not hurt you. But you should be careful to keep the saturated fat in check to ensure that you do not suffer from a heart problem while trying to build more muscle.

Use the glycaemic index

You need lower GI food such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal and other foods that contain more fibre. Higher GI foods often contain high amounts of sugar and they include soda, fruit juices, fat-free yogurt etc.

If you are trying to lose fat, then you should be more careful about the glycaemic index because they will cause spike in insulin levels which will prevent weight loss. If you continuously consume more processed high glycaemic foods, you will likely to become obese if you have a sedentary lifestyle. You should not try to replace fat to with carbohydrate because that will make you of these and will not help you to build more muscle and look lean.

It is impossible to increase your height after puberty

Many people believe that it is not possible to increase your height after puberty. And so they do not believe that it is possible for them to grow any taller once they cross that threshold. However, it is not true. People can grow taller even at a later stage of life. People grow taller at a young age because of some variables. And you can use the same process to increase your height even at a later stage. If you have already crossed the natural growth phase and you are in your 20s, then also it is possible for you to grow taller. Many people do not understand it and as a result of that they walk around shorter than they really are.

It is possible to increase your height by using effective spinal decompression and other height increasing methods. It is possible to increase your height by a few inches if you know how to do it.

You can grow overnight with pills and supplements

Many people believe that pills and supplements can help them to grow taller overnight. This is not true. No pill supplement can help you to grow a few inches taller overnight. Bring your height is a process and it needs some time and it will never happen overnight. If any pill or supplement claims that, you should stay away from that because it is likely that such products will negatively impact your health. There are lots of fake pills, supplements and other products available in the field of height increase. You will need to have a plan and you will have to follow a complete process step-by-step for a few months or maybe more to see height increase.

Working out can stunt your growth

Many people also believe that when you work out in the gym and when you lift weights that can stunt your growth and make a shorter. This is another myth. Working out in the gym or lifting weights will never make you short or stunt your growth. Working out regularly and lifting weights will have positive effect on height increase. It has a positive impact because it will raise some natural hormone levels in your body which will boost growth for your body. They will also help the growth plates to grow in your body thereby increasing your height. There are some specific stretches and exercises which have the power to lend in your spinal column. But you should be careful to do them in the perfect form. Spinal decompression can help you to increase your height but you need to know how to do it correctly.

Some of the most common symptoms of this type of eczema include dry skin, itching and read or brownish grey patches. Even though these patches may appear anywhere, they are mostly seen on your hands, feet, ankles, wrists and neck, eyelids, are purchased and inside the crooks of your elbows and knees.

They generally come back for a second round before even your skin got the chance to heal completely from the previous round. The risk of developing Dyshidrotic eczema increases if you also have atopic dermatitis.
