Do you suffer from perpetual hunger or nausea? {Health}

· · 3 Comments

Sometimes, our healths go haywire and we have no idea!! And, then, we have certain symptoms going on in the body which we hardly understand. When I was suffering from some of such symptoms, I asked my mom for help and understood a little bit about understanding my body needs. So, let me share my experiences. 

Perpetual Hunger
This is one of the major problems I found when there was a change in my diet. I am used to eating more of grains and veggies and less of carbs but in between I used to have more of carbs and less of everything else so I was always left with a feeling of hunger even though I would have a stomach full of food. 
If you feel hungry even after having a proper meal, remember to change a little of your diet and inclue more of proteins than usual. Proteins make you feel full and helps in controlling cravings. Also, perpetual hunger might be a symptom of diabetes so make sure you get your tests done.

Feeling of nausea 
This one is a symptom for high blood pressure, as told by my mom. She also suffers from the same issue. And, you might also be really hungry because of which you might be feeling nausea-tic. Also, nausea is a symptom for migraines and, of course, pregnancy.
Going to bathroom continuously
This is one thing which again I found is quite annoying when there is a diet change. Remember that this might also be due to excess of fluids and also, it might be a symptom of, again, diabetes. 
Joint Pains or Body Pains
This can be due to extreme weakness or lack of Vitamin D or even due to improper nutrition. So, you might really want to look into what is bothering your body. 
So, these are few of the symptoms I can remember on the tip of my fingers. Do take care of your health and learn to listen to your body. And, do not forget to go to a doc!
Have you ever faced such symptoms?

I am also deficient in Vitamin D!! {Health}

Guess my surprise on hearing this!! When all the while I used to marvel at how someone can be deficient in the most available vitamin, I found out that I am one of the lot. Like one of the reader mentioned in her comment, my Vitamin levels are almost at 3-4 out of the scale of 30. I came to know of this when I got my complete blood test done. But, I have yet to consult a doctor on this!!

Vitamin D deficiency has become so prevalent now. Even my FIL suffers with the same and apparently someone told him that his knee pains are due to the same reason. In fact, my boss was diagnosed with extreme low levels of Vitamin D and was given shots for it. And, since then, he has been feeling much better with high levels of energy and lesser other health issues.
Now, if you feel tired all the time or drowsy and suddenly start feeling a lot of joint pains and aches, you might want to go to a doc and get yourself tested for Vitamin D. Of course, do not rush to doc right away but analyze how your body is feeling. If you know your body well, you will know when something is wrong with it.

Have you been tested for Vitamin D?

Excess Body Heat and Acne {Skin Care}

· · 21 Comments

So, this time when I went to Delhi, my mom was shocked by how much I had gained!! Well, its time that I start on my health routine seriously. Oh btw, I got the regular health checkup tests done a few days back and got my reports yesterday. So, I do not have diabetes or thyroid or any kidney issues but my cholesterol levels are kinda on the border level!! 
Huh…now new problems to deal with 🙁 Anyways, I was talking about my weight gain. So, I started talking to mom about my daily routine in the past month and I realized that I have been junking heavily!! The only healthy thing in my entire day was sugarcane juice which I had started consuming heavily again!! 
Every day in the evening I feel hungry and I gorge on samosa or egg puff or paneer puff or potato wedges or samosa ragda or some stuff like that. And, gulp all that down and wash it off with two glasses of sugarcane juice so as not to feel guilty on spoiling my health so much. And, all that showed effect. And, guess what, lately I have been facing so many boils on my body. 

What happens when excess heat produces? Big red boils appear one day, trouble me for some days and go away again and the cycle repeats at some other point. Why do they suddenly come up? Well, the simple answer is because of the increase in body temperature. Human body performs optimally at 98.6 degrees but any change in the temperature which is due to internal issues affect the body and it tries to reduce the temperature by various means which can also result in acne. 
Why does body temperature rise? Because of reduction in immunity levels, increase in oily and fried and spicy foods, excess physical activity, thyroid issues, burning in stomach and so on. And, these things can result in stomach ulcers, headaches, acidity, skin rashes and boils and quite a lot of other things. 
How to avoid? So, if you are suffering from acne, the simple reason can be excess body temperature. Acidity and constipation are some of the very obvious symptoms to know that. May be cooling down the body might help in controlling the acne in those cases so drink lots of sugarcane juice, coconut water, buttermilk, eat lots of cucumber and watermelon, stay away from almonds and family and reduce junk food.     
So, do you think your body is producing more heat and acne is one of the ways to expend the heat? How do you regulate your body temperature?
