Hyperlipidemia/high cholesterol, refers to elevated levels of fats in the blood. Hyperlipidemia increases the risk of developing Heart disease /Heart attack/Stroke/Coronary heart disease/Carotid artery disease /Sudden cardiac arrest/ Peripheral artery disease/Microvascular disease. A blood test to check cholesterol levels—called a lipid panel or lipid profile —typically reports:Total cholesterol/ LDL cholesterol/ HDL cholesterol/ Triglycerides. Lumigenex Lipid panel test strips suitable for LP-100 Dry chemistry analyzer,is excellent tool for monitoring Hyperlipidemia. Easy to use, quick to get results.

Since insulin resistance causes insulin to be stored in the body, it can cause weight gain, fatty liver, cardiovascular diseases. People with insulin resistance have difficulty losing weight even if they exercise and eat a balanced diet. This is because excessive insulin secretion causes the food intake to be stored as fat. Insulin, which has to be secreted more and more, tires the pancreas over time. Insulin resistance can lead to a serious picture that can lead to heart problems, pancreatic insufficiency and diabetes over time. #heartdisease #medicaldevice #heart #medicalequipment #cardiovascularhealth #insulin #cardiovascular

Anemia: When Hemoglobin Levels Drop Anemia occurs when your blood doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin. This can lead to fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Common Causes of Anemia: Iron deficiency: This is the most common type. It happens when your body doesn't have enough iron to produce hemoglobin. Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency: These vitamins are essential for red blood cell production. Chronic diseases: Conditions like kidney disease, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease can interfere with red blood cell production. Hemolytic anemia: This occurs when red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body can replace them. Blood loss: Excessive bleeding, such as from heavy menstrual periods, ulcers, or injuries, can cause anemia. #healthyfood #healthylifestyle

The thyroid gland is an important endocrine organ that produces hormones to regulate our metabolism. When the thyroid is not functioning properly, there may be an excess or lack of thyroid hormone production, which can lead to hyper or hypothyroidism, respectively. Hyperthyroidism is characterized by an overactive thyroid gland that produces and releases an excess of thyroid hormone into the body. It is often caused by hyperfunctioning (overactive) thyroid nodules, an attack on the immune system (as is the case in the autoimmune condition Graves’ disease), a viral infection, or the consumption of foods or medications that contain high levels of iodine.

Understanding Anemia: A Classification Guide Anemia is a common condition that occurs when your blood doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout your body, and if you don't have enough of them, you may feel tired and weak. There are many different causes of anemia, but this post will focus on how anemia is classified. The main way anemia is classified is by the size of the red blood cells. ♦️ Microcytic anemia: Red blood cells are smaller than normal. This is the most common type of anemia and is often caused by iron deficiency. ♦️Normocytic anemia: Red blood cells are normal size. This type of anemia can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic disease, kidney failure, or blood loss. ♦️Macrocytic anemia: Red blood cells are larger than normal. This type of anemia can be caused by vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. This image provides a helpful chart that summarizes the different classifications of anemia.

#Obesity is a modifiable risk for diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, fatty liver, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Solution- reduce foods that drive insulin resistance/inflammation. Poor oral health is also a modifiable risk for unstable diabetes, hypertension, frailty, cognitive decline, systemic inflammation, malnutrition and heart and respiratory problems. Solution -- control oral dysbiosis (harmful bacteria) with #Prevora. Fast, painless, full patient compliance, very effective for years of good oral health.
