Vitamins You May Be Lacking if You Live in Florida in General, health and wellness, Primary Care.
Living in the Sunshine State is great for everything from year-round golf to year-round beach activities, and thousands of snowbirds flock to Florida each winter for fun in the sun.
The advantages of living in Florida are plentiful, but there is one disadvantage to which health-conscious Floridians should pay attention: Floridians are at risk for certain vitamin deficiencies.
Vitamin D Deficiency

What Kind of Scans Will My Doctor Order to Diagnose My Knee Injury? in Knee Pain.

Do your feet hurt? If you have pain when walking that refuses to go away, even by staying off it or wearing orthopedic shoes, you might have a condition called plantar fibroma.

What are the Options for Fixing Broken Bones?
Receiving excessive trauma to a bone so that it breaks is a frightening experience. It takes a phenomenal amount of force to fracture a bone. Bones are very strong, however, because they are designed in different shapes and sizes and located in various areas of the body, fractures come easier for some bones than others.
The location, size, and position of a bone and how it’s broken in relation to placement, will also affect how the bone will heal and how invasive the treatment will be to fix ...

The Evolving Role of Interventional Pain Management
Modern science has significantly affected how pain is managed today as opposed to a few years ago. “Take two aspirin and call me in the morning,” is an old joke that wasn’t too far removed from the truth back in the day. Health professionals at one time had a limited arsenal to combat their patient’s chronic pain. Effective over-the-counter medications were limited and health professionals were uncomfortable prescribing heavy prescription drugs, over a long period of time, for patients suffer...

Run a Race; Change a Life
It’s impossible to live without water, and in the United States, we don’t have too. We easily take it for granted, but in many countries around the world, millions of people go without clean drinking water and proper sanitation, which leads to illness and death. In fact, almost 1,000 children under age five die each day from common diarrhea. Imagine that a preventable disease is the leading cause of death among children in the developing world.
There is good news, however. By working to elimi...

Swimming has become a common form of exercise for people with asthma. In fact, it is an activity and competitive sport for many asthmatics, even Olympian athletes!

How Much Calcium Do You Need? in health and wellness.
When we think of the contributions that the mineral calcium makes to our bodies, the first thing that comes to mind is strong bone, and this is true. However, calcium has multiple jobs. Yes, it builds bones, but our blood wouldn’t clot without calcium. Our heart would cease to beat and muscles would only expand and not contract.
Calcium is extremely important to good health and yet we are constantly losing the mineral from the body, just through the daily grind of living our lives. Calcium is...

How Hypertension Affects Women in High Blood Pressure, Internal Medicine .
Hypertension Defined
If there is one cardiovascular risk every woman needs to be aware of it is hypertension, also known as high blood pressure.

High blood pressure occurs when a high rate of blood is forced against the artery walls. Over time the high force of blood within the artery walls will result in health problems associated with h...

Prevent Equipment Shutdowns and Emergency Repairs
Paying for preventive maintenance is similar to purchasing insurance, only better. Insurance provides what is needed post accident/breakdown, but preventive maintenance assists corporations in sidestepping expensive breakdowns.
Companies that fail to employ preventive maintenance plans are playing with fire. Machines will break down. It’s just a fact. The very best machinery is destined to break down at some point in time, simply because it is what it is, a machine.
Machines require servicing...

It’s His Wedding, Too
“Just show up.”
There was a time when this was the extent of a groom’s responsibility, when the planners were all women; brides and mothers-of-the-bride whose simple advice to the groom was to be there on time, clean and sober. Watch a few black and white movies and you’ll see what I am talking about. Art, imitating life in the old days, drives the point home. Grooms were secondary to wedding planning or even to the wedding itself. It was all about the beautiful bride and though the groom alw...

GENTLEMEN, IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT OUTFIT YOU WILL EVER WEAR
In front of your friends and family, awaiting your bride – the woman with whom you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life – you stand. And wait. Impatiently, you strain for the first glance, the picture that will paint a thousand words for many years to come. Feeling naked and exposed, you become aware of the emotion welling up inside, that and the nervous twitch, which has suddenly appeared. Your friends and family study and evaluate your every movement. All eyes are on you. After all, you...
