When you’re down the effect escalate to the family too and that is why it is a collective duty for every member of the family to be involved. We appreciate that technology is good and is making things much easier for us, however, we must be careful not to allow this to impact on our health negatively. We are today struggling with so many weight-related complications thanks to the advancement in our technology. And because of this many of the activities which used to engage us to be physically active are done away with and we are comfortable because things are even done faster than ever before.

Altering sedentary habits for health: The sting of obesity

We spoke to Doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President, and founder of AWAREmed health and wellness resource center about changing sedentary habits and it is very evident that we have just been ignorant of how we can use the very simple things we often ignore to change this for the good of our health. And though I’ve mentioned this, allow me to make some emphasis on this again. Never underrate any small changes you make as long as they are positive. For instance, even small changes in physical activity can expend energy. For example, by merely getting up to turn the TV on and off instead of being stationary and opting to use the remote, and standing while talking on your cell phone may help you lose up to five pounds a year. Can you imagine that? Do you have any idea how such simple things can go a long way in solving the problems and the sting of obesity? Very

Nicotine dependence awareness

Nicotine dependence awareness

Nicotine dependence awareness is essential in helping victims get to know the dangers they are putting themselves in

Nicotine dependence awareness: Symptoms of nicotine withdrawal

People across the globe need to be informed of the consequences attached to substance abuse in the language the can understand so that they can make an informed decision on their health management. And speaking to doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President, and founder of the AWAREmed health and wellness resource center, creating nicotine dependence awareness is important since the information about the symptoms of nicotine is essential in ensuring that timely action is taken in administering treatment for the affected patients. Some of the symptoms include:

  • Restlessness
  • Irritability
  • Increased appetite or weight gain
  • Impatience
  • Hostility
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Depressed mood
  • Decreased heart rate
  • Anxiety

It is important to note that nicotine does not take long in the body since it is rapidly eliminated by the kidney and normally only remains in the body for a period of about two hours leaving a trail of destruction to the organs. And that is motivation enough for you to consult with doctor Akoury for a quick solution today.

Nicotine addiction awareness: Smokeless tobacco

Currently, in most states, the law requires smokeless tobacco to carry warning labels and bans all smokeless tobacco advertising on radio and television. The new warning labels, to be rotated quarterly, are required for packages and advertisements with the labels reading WARNING: this product may cause mouth cancer, this product may cause gum disease and tooth loss and this product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes. These are used to discourage but that is not always the case because it has been established that even smokeless tobacco has a direct link to oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer as well as cancer of the esophagus, gum disease, and tooth loss. The use of smokeless tobacco has been increasing, especially among America’s youth. Nicotine addiction is achieved by the use of smokeless tobacco and can lead to serious health consequences. Nicotine Cessation programs can assist individuals in stopping the use of nicotine-based products.

Finally, I am very disturbed by our governments the world over especially on certain known life threatening drugs. It is the naked truth that many drugs like tobacco and alcohol have serious effects on people’s lives and all the authorities are doing is attempting to frustrate their advertisements by indicating warnings like the ones discussed above and sometimes levy high taxes on such drugs all in an attempt to make them out of rich to their consumers. Is this the right thing to do? By making the drugs expensive for many, are our governments authenticating that it is okay for the rich who can afford to die from the effects of these drugs? Or are they saying that health of the poor people are more important than that of the rich like I said before I am wondering and if this concerns you too, then let’s pool together and make a difference in our communities by creating more awareness about the dangers of engaging in drug use?

Substance abuse menaces to the skin

Substance abuse menaces

Substance abuse menaces to the skin is a general concern to the whole family irrespective of the age differences

Substance abuse menaces to the skin: All illicit drugs are unhealthy for the skin

We have been talking about the protection of the largest organ for some time now on this link and so if you have been with us, you must be aware of the implications of various substances on the skin. We all want to have a radiant looking skin and that is why doctor Dalal Akoury founded AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center so that all your beauty needs can be addressed from this point. Over the years, doctor Akoury has helped in the transformation of many people’s lives across the globe by delivery of tailored skincare treatment addressing specific individual’s needs. If you have any concerns about the health of your skin, you can always reach her for help by scheduling an appointment for the commencement of your skin rejuvenation once more. And to help you understand the magnitude of being lazy with your skin, we are going to discuss in this article substance abuse menaces to your skin in all seasons. Heroin, for example, is a central nervous system depressant that slows heart rate, blood circulation, respiration and metabolism

Skin popping is the practice of injecting heroin into the top layer of the skin thereby leaving distinctive round sores along the skin’s surface. These sores can easily become infected, resulting in permanent scars. For users who are anxious, restless or experiencing cravings, the scabs can become the focus of obsessive picking. Picking at the sores increases the risk of cellulitis or the infection of the soft tissues underlying the dermis.

Skin lesions are common in heavy methamphetamine users. This central nervous system stimulant can cause a condition called delusional parasitosis, or the false belief that the user is infected with organisms that are crawling across her skin. This condition which is also known as “meth mites” or “cocaine bugs” can lead to severe self-mutilation if the user is acutely intoxicated.

Substance abuse menaces to the skin: Skin picking and heroin withdrawal

Withdrawing from heroin, a highly addictive opiate is an intensely uncomfortable experience. Restlessness, nervousness, severe cravings and goose bumps can trigger the urge to self-mutilate. Users in withdrawal often say that they feel like they’re crawling out of their skin. In this state, skin picking may provide a momentary sense of release.

Heroin withdrawal affects the skin in several important ways. Goosebumps, along with chills, shivering and cold sweats, occur as the brain adjusts to the absence of this powerful opioid. These bumps are caused by tiny muscles that tighten at the base of the fine hairs that cover the skin. For the user in withdrawal, compulsively rubbing or tugging at the skin may counteract the sensations of cold and restlessness.

Skin picking and self-mutilation can also help the user cope with opiate cravings. The sensations of pleasure or pain are a temporary distraction from the desire to use heroin. Ritualistic picking can provide an outlet for the intense anxiety, nervous tension, and restlessness that characterize withdrawal. Nonetheless, skin picking only provides a temporary relief from the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. Once physical withdrawal symptoms begin, they can last for several days. The best way to avoid withdrawal symptoms like goose bumps, sweats, and muscle pain is to enter a medically supervised detox program like AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center where you will receive the physical and moral support you need to minimize the symptoms of withdrawal and avoid a relapse.
