Protecting immune system

Protecting immune system

Protecting immune system from drugs is important if the body is to be alert in fighting diseases

Protecting immune system from drugs: Fake fragrances

The practice of protecting the immune system from drug abuse must be embraced by everyone. This is because when we have strong immune system, we can keep healthy and fight any disease as they come. The problem we have even as we desire to keep the good health is that of substance abuse. The current generation is faced with many challenges one of them being the use of drugs. And according to the experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, drugs come in different kinds including fragrances. As a matter of facts, fake fragrances such as the air fresheners, scented laundry soaps and personal care products, candles, and most perfumes are not drugs, but for many people, they are certainly lung irritants and are thought to be a major cause of asthma in children.

Fake fragrances often contain dozens if not hundreds of chemicals, many of them extremely toxic. And to compound the problem, it may interest you to note that currently, fake fragrances remain unregulated in most states including the U.S., the justification being that the toxic chemicals are present in such small amounts that they are not harmful. However, constant exposure through scented personal care products, wearing fake fragrance clothing, sleeping on fake fragranced sheets and living with air fresheners in the home and car, certainly has an impact on the lungs. There has been an explosion in the use of hand sanitizer gels, all of them containing fake fragrances, further explaining why striving to have a balance immune system is very essential.

Protecting immune system from drugs: Strive for Immune Balance

The truth will always remain, that, this is a journey you do not want to disengage in owing to the vitality of immune system. It will not be wrong to say that immune system is the undisputed tool for good health and since we both love life we have a duty to make sure that it is well maintained. I suggest that if you’re taking drugs of any kind, make a list of their brand names and generic names, and take an audit of each to a certain if they suppress the immune system. This knowledge is very important to you irrespective of whether you need to stay on an immune-suppressing drug or not, you will still need to know how it’s affecting your body.

All of us want a balanced immune system, which can be best achieved by an overall healthy lifestyle which includes wholesome foods, moderate exercise, good sleep and stress management. Besides all these, you will need to be in constant touch with an expert to help you keep the promise. This is effectively available at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury. With her you will be cared for professionally while focusing on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through the realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE.

Neurochemical grounds

Neurochemical grounds

Neurochemical grounds of addiction. W have a solution for you at AWAREmed health center

Neurochemical grounds of addiction: The exhausted GABA

In order to understand the neurochemical grounds of addiction, it is important that we first understand how GABA operates. And to do so, we are going to speaking to doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President, and founder of the AWAREmed health and wellness resource center. And the submission she brakes the understanding as follows.

  • The neurons
  • The central nervous system (CNS)
  • Inhibitory neurotransmitters
  • Excitatory neurotransmitters

Having discussed the first two previously, we are going to progress with the remaining as follows:

Neurochemical grounds of addiction: Inhibitory Neurotransmitters

  • Some neurotransmitters act like a brake on a car.
  • They inhibit or slow down the actions of the neurons.
  • These are called inhibitory neurotransmitters.
  • Other neurotransmitters act like an accelerator.
  • They increase the speed of the actions of the neurons. These are called excitatory neurotransmitters.
  • GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.

Neurochemical grounds of addiction: Excitatory Neurotransmitters

  • Excitatory neurotransmitters are vital to:
    • Help us stay alerted
    • Maintain our normal memory functions
    • Maintain our co-ordination
    • Maintain normal emotional responses
    • Maintain our heart rate
    • Maintain our blood pressure
  • Glutamate (a common amino acid) is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain.

Which neurotransmitters are released?

  • If there is something that creates:
    • Anxiety
    • A feeling of panic
    • Other stress
  • Excitatory neurotransmitters are released and a person can feel:
    • Restlessness
    • Higher than normal irritability
    • Rapid heartbeats
    • High blood pressure
    • Insomnia
    • Even seizures.

The role of GABA in the brain

  • Glutamate speeds things up and when they are going too fast, GABA slows them back down.
  • If there is a problem with the GABA in our brains, the neurons fire more and more, increasing the speed of the processes in the brain?

Neurochemical grounds of addiction: How GABA works

When GABA binds to a nerve cell receptor, it opens the nerve cell so that chloride ions present in the brain are allowed to move into the nerve cell to slow the activity of the cell, and the person normally experiences a calming feeling. For example, if our brain produces more excitatory neurotransmitters like norepinephrine or epinephrine (adrenaline) than normal, we can become anxious or have more stress than normal. And when the brain is working normally, it will produce more GABA thereby slowing down the actions in the brain and thus have a calming and relaxing effect on us.

Finally, this article will go a long way in helping you do the right thing with your life. In doing so certain professional decisions will have to be made and to do this, seeking for the expert opinion will be necessary. And that is where doctor Dalal Akoury and her team of experts come in. the lever of professionalism at this facility (AWAREmed health center) speaks for itself since doctor Akoury’s practice focuses on personalized medicine through healthy lifestyle choices that deal with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of patching up symptoms. This is what you need and calling her on telephone number 843 213 1480 should be your starting point for the total life transformation.

Drinking problems and denial

Drinking problems

Drinking problems and denial are the Conner stone of destruction in addiction

Drinking problems and denial: Helping alcoholism victims get treatment

If you’re ready to admit your drinking problems, you’ve already taken the first step. It takes tremendous strength and courage to face alcohol abuse and alcoholism head on and that is why in most cases expert across the globe including those from AWAREmed health and wellness resource center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury agrees that helping alcoholism victims get treatment is often very difficult due to the problems relating to the addictiveness of the substance and denial. Reaching out for support is the second step. But one very important point is that it really doesn’t matter whether you choose to go to a rehab center, get help from self-help programs, get therapy, or take a self-directed treatment approach, support is essential. Doctor Akoury reiterates that recovering from alcohol addiction is much easier when you have people you can lean on for encouragement, comfort, and guidance. Without support, it’s easy to fall back into old patterns when things get tough.

Nonetheless, it is important noting that, your continued recovery depends on continuing mental health treatment, learning healthier coping strategies, and making better decisions when dealing with life’s challenges. In order to stay alcohol-free for the long term, you’ll also have to face the underlying problems that led to your alcoholism or alcohol abuse in the first place. Those problems could be depression, an inability to manage stress, an unresolved trauma from your childhood, or any number of mental health issues. Such problems may become more prominent when you’re no longer using alcohol to cover them up. But you will be in a healthier position to finally address them and seek the help you need.

Drinking problems and denial: Helping a loved struggling with alcoholism

If someone you love has a drinking problem, you may be struggling with a number of painful emotions, including shame, fear, anger, and self-blame. The problem may be so overwhelming that it seems easier to ignore it and pretend that nothing is wrong. But in the long run denying it will be more damaging to you, other family members, and the person with the drinking problem. So then what shouldn’t you do?

  • Don’t attempt to punish, threaten, bribe, or preach.
  • Don’t try to be a martyr. Avoid emotional appeals that may only increase feelings of guilt and the compulsion to drink or use other drugs.
  • Don’t cover up or make excuses for the alcoholic or problem drinker or shield them from the realistic consequences of their behavior.
  • Don’t take over their responsibilities, leaving them with no sense of importance or dignity.
  • Don’t hide or dump bottles, throw out drugs, or shelter them from situations where alcohol is present.
  • Don’t argue with the person when they are impaired.
  • Don’t try to drink along with the problem drinker.
  • Above all, don’t feel guilty or responsible for another’s behavior.

The above don’ts are just guidelines which many have failed to comply with and has made grievous mistakes in the process. And so that you stand out, I want to seek your indulgence, to be different by seeking professional assistance from AWAREmed health center and doctor Akoury and her team of experts will help you professionally.

Healthy feeding saves life

Healthy feeding saves life

Healthy feeding saves life and if doubting, try it today

Healthy feeding saves life: Natural food stuff

Irrespective of what we do, nature will always be with us. Even with the great development we are witnessing today natural things still stand out. Sweet things like honey come from natural things and so is our health. Anyone looking for good health must go back to the natural. We are going to share with you some of the healthy eating tips because we believe that healthy feeding saves life. Anything processed is always against good health and needs to be avoided or taken in moderation as we will be discussing briefly going forward with the help of doctor Dalal Akoury MD. President and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center. This health facility is one of a kind where all addiction and matters relating weight management, nutrition and beauty are addressed. The following are some of the healthy eating tips you may want to consider:

  • Set successful goals
  • Moderation is key
  • Reduce sugar
  • Eat more of fruits and vegetables
  • Feed more on fiber

Healthy feeding saves life: Set successful goals

To make any meaningful progress, you need to set realistic goals by planning a healthy diet. There is food you will introduce or reduce but in either case, it must be done progressively. Like for instance, you may start by adding a salad to your diet once a day and gradually until the body gets used to the change.

Healthy feeding saves life: Moderation is key

Eating in moderation is where an individual eats only what the body needs. The secret is that as you eat you should feel satisfied at the end of the meal and not stuffed. It is also important that as you eat in moderation it must be well balanced. That is to say, all the food nutrients like protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals need to be balanced to sustain a healthy body.

Healthy feeding saves life: Reduce sugar

Sugar is one single modern food that causes more problems to the body than good. Too much sugar causes among other problems energy spike, weight problems, diabetes, depression and the list continues. Things like candy and desserts are rich in sugar and must be avoided and not forgetting foods like bread, cereals, canned soups and vegetables, pasta sauce, margarine, instant mashed potatoes, frozen dinners, low-fat meals, fast food, and ketchup. Your body gets all it needs from sugar naturally occurring in food so all this added sugar just means a lot of empty calories.

Eat more of fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and nutrient dense, that is to say, they are enriched with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Doctor Akoury advises that your focus should be on eating the recommended daily minimum of five servings of fruit and vegetables. This way you will naturally fill you up and also help you cut back on unhealthy foods.

Feed more on fiber

Eating foods high in dietary fiber can help you stay regular, lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and help you lose weight. Depending on your age and gender, nutrition experts recommend you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber per day for optimal health. Many of us aren’t eating half that amount which is not very healthy.
