World Hypertension Day 2019: Know about High Blood Pressure | KDAH Blog

What is hypertension?

Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. This means that the blood applies too much force against the walls of the blood vessels. Medical guidelines define hypertension as blood pressure higher than 130 over 80 millimetres of mercury (mmHg).

Important facts about high blood pressure:

• High blood pressure may be linked to a higher risk of dementia.
• Young people can have high blood pressure, too.
• 1 in 5 adults are unaware of their high blood pressure.
• Women face pregnancy complications due to high blood pressure.

Risk factors

A number of risk factors increase the chances of having hypertension.

• Age: Hypertension is more common in people aged over 60 years.
• Ethnicity: Some ethnic groups are more prone to hypertension.
• Size and weight: Being overweight or obese is a key risk factor.
• Alcohol and tobacco use: Consuming large amounts of alcohol regularly can increase a person’s blood pressure, as can smoking tobacco.
• Existing health conditions: Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and high cholesterol levels can lead to hypertension, especially as people get older.
• Hereditary factors: A family history of high blood pressure and poorly managed stress can also contribute.

Signs

Blood pressure can be measured by a sphygmomanometer, or blood pressure monitor. Having high blood pressure for a short time can be a normal response to many situations like stress or intense exercise. For this reason, a diagnosis of hypertension normally requires several readings that show high blood pressure over time.

Symptoms

A person with hypertension may not notice any symptoms, and it is often called the “silent killer.” Regularly checking your blood pressure is vital, as there will usually be no symptoms to make you aware of the condition.

It is maintained that high blood pressure causes sweating, anxiety, sleeping problems, and blushing. If blood pressure reaches the level of a hypertensive crisis, a person may experience headaches and nosebleeds.

Complications

Hypertension and heart disease are global health concerns. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that the growth of the processed food industry has impacted the amount of salt in diets worldwide, and that this plays a role in hypertension.

Long-term hypertension can cause complications through atherosclerosis, where the formation of plaque results in the narrowing of blood vessels. This makes hypertension worse, as the heart must pump harder to deliver blood to the body.

Hypertension-related atherosclerosis can lead to:

• Heart failure and heart attacks.
• An aneurysm, or an abnormal bulge in the wall of an artery that can burst, causing severe bleeding and, in some cases, death.
• Kidney failure.
• Stroke.
• Amputation.
• Hypertensive retinopathies in the eye, which can lead to blindness.

Hypertension in India:

According to data from the National Health Profile (NHP) 2018, more people were diagnosed with hypertension than diabetes in India in 2017. The prevalence of hypertension among 18-25 years-old was higher than that estimated by the World Health Organization and in fact than any other country in the world.

Prevent Hypertension:

Your age, along with a family history of hypertension and ethnicity are among the hypertension risk factors that are out of your control. To avoid a hypertension diagnosis, make these healthy lifestyle choices:

1. Maintain a healthy weight. When it comes to hypertension prevention, your weight is crucial. Obesity increases your chances of getting hypertension.
2. Eat a balanced diet. Consider following the DASH diet which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The DASH diet emphasizes vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy foods — and moderate amounts of whole grains, fish, poultry and nuts which are rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium.
3. Cut back on salt. For many people, eating a low-sodium diet can help keep blood pressure normal. The higher the sodium intake, the higher the blood pressure.
4. Exercise regularly. Get moving to prevent hypertension. Physical activity is crucial. The more exercise you get, the better, but even a little bit can help control blood pressure. Moderate exercise for about 30 minutes three times a week is a good start.
5. Limit alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to high blood pressure. For women, that means no more than one drink a day, and for men, no more than two.
6. Monitor your blood pressure. Make sure that you have your blood pressure measured regularly, either at your doctor’s office or at home.
7. Avoid stress. Learn to manage your stress better to help control your blood pressure control.
8. Smoking can raise blood pressure. Giving up smoking reduces the risk of hypertension, heart conditions, and other health issues.

Take a look at your lifestyle habits and decide where you can make changes to help prevent hypertension. Adopting these lifestyle changes can help prevent high blood pressure if your blood pressure is currently under control or lead to lower blood pressure if your numbers are already elevated.

Tips to Eat & Stay Healthy in Summer | KDAH Blog

We are in mid-summer and the temperature seems to be rising rapidly. How are you coping with the peak summer days? Are the scorching sun and humid days leaving you frustrated? Indian summer can be harsh in many parts of India. The harsh climate can drain you of your energy, making you prone to infections, vomiting, nausea, prickly heat and low blood pressure. However, it is essential to tweak your diet as per the weather. Follow these simple steps to keep yourself hydrated and healthy in summer.

Here are a few tips to stay healthy this summer:

• Hydrate yourself as much as possible. Staying hydrated is very crucial during summer as it ensures that your body keeps functioning normally. As the heat goes up, it results in excessive sweating, which also reduces energy levels and electrolytes from your body.
• Avoid caffeinated or carbonated beverages, alcoholic beverages, and those high in sugar. All these drinks contain preservatives, colours and sugars. They are acidic in nature and act as diuretics. They cause loss of fluids through urine and body gets dehydrated.
• Summertime tends to reduce one’s appetite because of excessive heat. But it is important for you to eat regularly because your body requires the nutrients to fight the heat and keep you healthy. Follow a light diet which is easy to digest, include summer veggies like squash, bottle gourd, cucumber, ivy gourd, etc.
• Avoid cut and peeled roadside fruits, raw vegetables and meat which are pre-exposed to flies and other dirt.
• Always drink clean boiled drinking water to avoid water-borne diseases.
• Severe sweating in summer causes electrolyte imbalance because sodium is flushed out of the system. Drink lemon juice, coconut water, buttermilk and fresh fruit juices to replenish the fluids that are lost in sweat.
• Avoid eating fatty, greasy food like vadas, samosas, chips, bhajias, farsans, etc.

Eat right for summer:

Are you choosing the right foods, juices, fruits and vegetables for summer?
Here are a few summers must-haves:

• Lauki or bottle gourd – This is extremely popular for weight loss. It’s rich in calcium, magnesium, Vitamin A, C and folate. The superhero vegetable works well on high blood pressure, keeps the heart healthy and is considered an excellent blood purifier.
• Salad leaves – Amaranth leaves, rocket leaves, basil and other summer herbs should be tossed in a salad bowl and topped off with a yoghurt dressing to make a great summer salad. They create a powerhouse of nutrition and are light too.
• Aam Panna -Two glasses of aam pana can help with digestion, constipation and chronic stomach problems like Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Make it at home to ensure the use of recommended quantities of sugar and salt.
• Mint water with lemon – One glass of strained mint water with two drops of lemon works wonders. It acts as a liver cleanser, boosts your metabolism and helps those with a low appetite.
• Barley Water – Have two glasses a day and in case you find it bland, add a drop of lemon or honey for taste. Since barley water is rich in fiber, it prevents constipation and also helps in controlling your appetite.
• Watermelon – Watermelon is approximately 90 per cent water, so it’s undoubtedly the best way to keep yourself hydrated. It helps with digestion and keeps the stomach cool.
• Oranges – Oranges are considered beneficial in avoiding muscle cramps. Availability of Potassium in this citrus fruit helps in refilling the lost potassium through sweat.
• Papaya – The sweet and fleshy Papaya, rich presence of enzymes like chymopapain and papain, is widely demanded in summers as it helps in the proper digestion of proteins.
• Mango – The king of fruits, Mango, must be included in the diet during summers as it is rich in the content of selenium and iron.
• Pineapple – Pineapples are good to be included in the summer diet as they contain Bromelian enzyme that helps in the digestion of fats and proteins.

Stay healthy and safe this summer by choosing the right diet plan. Do you have any questions for your summer diet? Consult our Department of Nutrition Therapy for more details.

Are you travelling this summer with your family?

Whether travelling as a couple, with children or with elderly parents make sure you are prepared for the destination you are travelling. A few precautions and extra care before travel can make your holiday better.

Here are few general travel tips

2. Pack a travel health kit – Expect the unexpected, always travel with a travel health kit equipped with the most basic medications.

4. Drink and eat sensibly – Traveller’s diarrhoea is the most common ailment that hampers many vacations. Make sure you eat and drink at hygienic places. Always have hot food when in doubt.

5. Make exercise a priority – You always have ample time to exercise on a vacation, it is your choice to make it a part of your agenda.

Travelling with elders

Are you a group of senior citizens travelling this vacation? Here are a few health tips to keep in mind:

2. Plan small itineraries – Skip long hours of sight-seeing and plan small excursions physically possible.

3. Pack light – Depending on the weather of your destination pack as light as you can. Make sure you carry only small bag packs for day excursions too.

• Watch out around water – Whether you are near a beach or a hotel swimming pool your kids need constant supervision at all times.
• Clean hands – While you’re travelling, make sure your children wash their hands with soap before eating whenever you can. Hand sanitizer or a pack of antibacterial wipes will work if the water is not available.
• Carry light snacks – Carry some high-calorie dry snacks like nuts, energy bars or fruits for your kids to snack during travel times

Asthma and City Life: Live Healthy Life Even with Asthma | KDAH Blog

Asthma is a disease that makes it difficult for your lungs to get air.
Shortness of breath, cough and wheezing are all symptoms of asthma. Your chest feels tight and your throat goes dry, you gasp for breath and are unable to get enough air to the lungs.

Why is asthma worst in cities?

The urban air pollution, as well as certain chemicals released in the environment, make the residents of bigger cities more prone to asthma. Here are a few urban factors that cause asthma:

• Automobile exhaust.
• Tobacco smoke.
• Restaurant food odours.
• Cockroaches and rats.

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, sulphur, and hydrocarbons all contribute to inner-city pollution and make asthma harder to manage for kids and adults.

Asthma and urban cities:

Here are some tips from the experts on better living with asthma in the city:

• If you have allergies to cockroaches or rodents, get pest control done in your house.
• If you have allergies to dust mites, make sure to have protective covers on all mattresses, box springs, and pillows. Removing carpets from bedrooms also makes a big difference,.
• Use HEPA filters on all your vents and vacuum cleaners, and run a HEPA-filtered air purifier in the bedroom.
• Protect the air inside your home. Don’t allow anyone to smoke, control humidity with a dehumidifier, and use your air conditioning as much as possible.
• Make sure your home is clean and clutter free, keep food and garbage in tightly sealed bags and containers.
• Follow your doctor’s advice completely for asthma. It will include information about your medicine, advice for avoiding asthma triggers, and what to do if you have an asthma attack.

Know more about Asthma

Here is how you can live healthy even with Asthma:

• Know your triggers and avoid them. Triggers like allergens and irritants can make your asthma symptoms worse by irritating your airways.  The best way to control your asthma is to know what your asthma triggers are and how to avoid them.
• Take your asthma medication as prescribed by your doctor
  Many people think they can skip their asthma preventer (controller) medications when they don’t feel any symptoms – that’s not true. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) disease. If you have asthma, you have it all the time, even when you don’t feel symptoms. You have to manage your asthma every day, not just on days when you feel symptoms.
• Your health-care provider can show you how to use your inhaler properly so that your medicine reaches the airways.
• If you smoke and have asthma, you should quit smoking. this can significantly reduce the severity and frequency of your symptoms. Smoking can also reduce the effectiveness of asthma medication.
• Keep fit by exercising. Exercise helps by strengthening your breathing muscles, boosting your immune system and helping to keep healthy body weight. The key to exercising safely is to make sure your asthma is under control before you start.

Asthma and India:

One in every 10 asthma patients in the world is in India. 90 per cent of childhood asthma and 50 per cent of adult asthma is caused due to environmental allergens. Considered the most common chronic disease among children, Asthma is prevalent in all countries, whether they are developed or underdeveloped. Dust, cockroaches and pollens are the biggest causes of allergic asthma, according to an analysis of reports of five years, collected by a diagnostic centre in India.

Sadly, India is choking with asthma. The sales of anti-asthma medicines in India has gone up by 43% over the past four years. It is time that people start taking conscious actions to breathe healthy. People affected by air pollution must wear an N95 mask. We must also encourage the use of carpool and public transport to reduce traffic and thus reduce air pollution.

Best Urinary Bladder Cancer Treatment in Mumbai, India – Kokilaben Hospital

Urinary Bladder Cancer begins when cells in the urinary bladder start to grow uncontrollably.

The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower abdomen (pelvis), which collects and stores urine produced by the kidneys. It is estimated that there are 383,000 cases of bladder cancer worldwide out of which they are most commonly found in industrialised countries. Bladder cancer occurs mostly among older individuals although it has been noted to appear among the younger age groups as well. The average age of diagnosis is in the 60s. Cancer has a high rate of recurrence.

Bladder cancer is a type of malignancy arising from the epithelial lining (i.e., the urothelium) of the urinary bladder. It is a disease in which abnormal cells multiply without control in the bladder. The most common type of bladder cancer recapitulates the normal histology of the urothelium and is known as transitional cell carcinoma or more properly urothelial cell carcinoma.

Best Soft Tissue Sarcoma Treatment in Mumbai, India – Kokilaben Hospital

Soft tissue sarcoma is cancer that can start anywhere in the body, typically muscles, blood vessels, nerves, fat, joints and tissues. Soft tissue sarcomas comprise 2 per cent of all cancers. More than 30 different types of sarcomas have been identified and are usually named according to the type of tissue they start in, like liposarcomas for fat tumours, rhabdomyosarcomas for muscle tumours, angiosarcomas for blood vessel tumours, etc.

The only way to prevent some soft tissue sarcomas is to keep a check on all the risk factors. Most sarcomas, however, develop in people with no known risk factors, so there is no way known at this time to prevent most cases. For people receiving radiation therapy, there is usually little choice. However, if you have risk factors, it’s a good idea to discuss them with your healthcare provider and get a proper evaluation.

We at Kokilaben Hospital are using Brachytherapy as a preferred radiation modality for the management of these tumours. Brachytherapy involves placing the radiation catheters during surgery and giving radiation through these catheters, helps in reducing the treatment time of radiation from 30 days to 6 days, lesser radiation to surrounding structures and a better function.

A sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops from certain tissues, like bone or muscle. At Kokilaben Hospital, we are providing surgery, radiation & Chemotherapy treatment for tumors.
