For a long time, it was believed that diabetes was a chronic lifelong disease that could only be managed. Patients were routinely told that their affliction and accompanying medication would be for life.
Worse, as time passed the disease inevitably resulted in higher dosages, medications became progressively stronger and other complications crept in, from vision problems to heart and kidney disease.
Then, a number of medical doctors and researchers began questioning the prognoses provided by the traditional medical establishment.
PCOD/PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are ovarian disorders that can attack any woman of childbearing age. It is caused by cysts in the ovaries, which lead to excessive production of androgen and estrogen hormones.
This compromises the ability of the ovaries to nurture eggs to maturity, and the woman to conceive successfully. While it shows up in women between 18 and 45 years of age, the problem begins much earlier, although the symptoms are not noticeable.
POCD v/s PCOS
Although they are used interchangeably, and are both disorders of the ovary, PCOD and PCOS are not the same at all. PCOD is far more prevalent across the world and less likely to prevent conception than PCOS.
However, both PCOD and PCOS are linked to unhealthy diets, sedentary lifestyles and high stress levels. These factors result in ovaries producing and releasing immature eggs. PCOS on the other hand is an endocrine disorder, where the body produces higher quantities of male hormones.
High Blood Pressure
Described, as a ‘silent killer’ because it shows almost no symptoms, hypertension, or High BP, as it is commonly called, is a literal killer. It is basically a result of the agglomeration of cholesterol—called plaque— on arterial walls.
This narrows the arteries and hardens them, resulting in narrower, stiffer blood vessels, which forces the heart to pump with more pressure.
As pressure builds up, it begins to damage the delicate framework and sensitive pathways of smaller capillaries of the organs, like the renal pathways in the kidney, for instance.
