Ways to Improve Your Health

It is said that health is wealth and it is universal truth as well that many people out there are aware of. Without health you can’t enjoy food, money, travelling or any other things. Without health, we are like a car without a fuel. Health should always be kept the top most priority no matter what you do or what you earn. Without health every other thing of this world is useless. But most of the people compromise on health, and when they see the consequences sometimes it is already too late. So, health should come first and we should give it the top priority. Now, let us see how we can improve our health. There are 10 ways which are listed below, through which we can improve our health.

1) Wake up early. If you have a habit of sleeping late till morning, then get careful it can cost you much more then you can think. It is said that 6 hours of sleep is sufficient for a average person. If you want to get up early then you have to try hard. Go just set your alarm 2 hours early, in this way you won’t succeed. But instead try to get up 15 minutes early daily, and if you follow this every week and keep increasing the time by 15 more minutes, in 8 weeks you will see that you are able to wake up 2 hours early. Try this you will get the results.

2) Sleep early at night. As the lifestyle of city has changed dramatically we have formed a habit of sleeping late in the night. We just keep checking our mail, use social networking sites, or just keep chatting to some or do some other work in the night and sleep late. But in the long run it will cost you in health regards. So if you want to improve your health, first of all you have to sleep early in the night. And sleeping early will help you in getting up early in the morning.

3) Go for jogging. It is one of the best way to get into shape, if you are overweight or having any other health related issues, you can go for jogging. It will accelerate your blood circulation which will result in improved body metabolism. And one more thing jogging will not consume much of your time, just 30 minutes of jogging is enough for a good health. Most of you might have seen that most of the athletes after retirement go for jogging only. It also helps us to increase our social network as well.

4) Join gym. If you are interested in going one step ahead of jogging then I will suggest you can go and join a good gym will all the facilities. But first consult your doctor or physician about it. Also it should be clear why you are going to gym, either you want to gain weight or you want to lose it. Your motive for joining gym should be very very clear. Because without clear goals it is very difficult to achieve the desired success. It will be difficult for you to work out in the initial days but if you can continue it for 21 days then you won’t be giving up workout anymore.

5) Use walking as a tool. If you are unable to sleep early at night, unable to wake up early in the morning, unable to go for jogging and even fail to join gym then this tool is meant for you only. There are lots of opportunities we get during the whole day in which we can use walking as a tool.

6) Change your eating habits. A lot of problems erupt due to our unhealthy eating habits. And if we make a little change in our eating habits then a lot of health problems can be eradicated before they arise. You can find a lot of food that are good for our health such as apple, spinach, oranges, watermelon and many more. If we include all these in our diet, we can improve our health to next level.

7) Change your lifestyle. We have adopted the new way of living to such a context that it is impossible to live our life without internet, mobile, movies, fast food, parties, and much other such stuff. But if you are concerned about improving your health, you have to limit these things. You can’t go on eating fast food and be healthy. You have to change your eating habits to change your health.

8) Stay away from addiction. You have to stay away from any type of drug addiction such as smoking, drinking in order to be healthy. This type of addiction leads to many other problems such as smoking causes cancer, excess drinking damages lever and causes financial bankruptcy as well. So we have to stay away from these types of addiction at every cost.

9) Don’t work too hard for only money. It is equally important to work hard in life if we want to achieve success but if we are working too hard for only money then it will create problems later. It is said that money is not everything it is a way to everything. So keeping this is mind work hard but not for money only. There are various other tangible things and intangible things for which one can work.

10) Relax and enjoy your life. Don’t do everything in hurry, just relax and enjoy life. We are given only one life so we should enjoy it to the maximum and don’t wait for enjoying your life when you retire, or when you build your business or when you get a highly paid job, enjoy now. It is said and universal fact that “Happiness is found on the way, not at the end of the road”.

Coronary Sinus

MT: Coronary Sinus

MD: Definition and function of the coronary sinus, including the defects and treatments.

Coronary Sinus

Coronary Sinus is a vein found at the posterior region of the heart, between the left ventricle and left atrium. The vein is relatively large compared to other veins, carrying deoxygenated blood from different epicardial veins into the right atrium of the heart.

These veins include the Great Cardiac Vein which collects from the ventricles and the left atrium, the Oblique Vein of the left atrium which is a tiny vessel, the left Marginal vein that receives blood from the left atrium and the ventricles and other Arterial veins found in the interventricular and the left ventricle.

The coronary sinus is present in all mammals including humans; it is quite short in length and may vary from person to person, usually within the range of about 15-65mm in adults.

Coronary Sinus Function

The main function of the coronary sinus is to collects Cardiac Venous blood. It carries blood from the myocardium and allows blood to flow into the right atrium. It is also important in cardiac surgery. It acts as a marker for those carrying out surgery.

Some defects affecting the coronary sinus include Unroofed Coronary Sinus (UCS). This defect brings about an abnormal flow between the coronary Sinus and the left atrium. UCS is closely related to Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava which is known as PLSVC. It can result in failure of the heart if it is not rectified. To treat Unroofed Coronary Sinus, surgery is usually performed on the patient. The systemic venous drainage is separated from the pulmonary venous drainage.

A second coronary Sinus defect is the dilation of the coronary sinus. This defect is found mainly in people suffering from pulmonary hypertension without structural disease of the tricuspid valve. It has also been observed that coronary sinus dilation can be found in patients with congestive heart failure and venous congestion.

Coronary Sinus Catheterization is used to help drain the cardiac venous blood. This method can be used to treat defects of the coronary sinus. But placing the catheter can be risky especially for elderly patients and very young patients. Access to the coronary sinus can be made by combining two systems and they are the steerable electrophysiology catheter and telescoping inner catheter. But for those with seriously dilated coronary sinus, surgery is recommended.

Other treatments that does not require surgery includes the Anticongestive therapy and the Antiarrhythmic therapy.
