More than 200 viruses can cause a cold. Some people catch colds and other infections more often. These people may have a weak immune system.

weak immune system

The immune system protects the body against infection. However, it's more like a little army than a giant shield. Germs, bacteria, and viruses primarily enter the body through contact with infected surfaces or through the air. The microscopic army fights off the invaders and remembers their weaknesses for next time. The next time your body encounters a similar infection, your immune system is better equipt to fight it. This process also happens on a smaller scale when you get flu shots and vaccines.

An important part of this system is white blood cells, which seek and destroy germs as soon as they enter the body. Doctors can test the levels of white blood cells in your body to see if you have the flu or a similar infection. If you have a high level of white blood cells you are probably fighting off an infection. You can boost your immune system by maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.

There are many early intervention programs available to babies diagnosed with Down syndrome and their parents.

Down syndrome, or trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder and chromosomal condition characterized by a third copy of chromosome 21. Normally, people are born with 46 chromosomes, but in a person with Down syndrome, 47 chromosomes are present.

&nbsp;

The cause of Down syndrome is unknown, but risk factors for having a baby with Down syndrome include: being pregnant over the age of 35, having a sibling with Down syndrome, having a child with Down syndrome.

&nbsp;

People with Down syndrome have distinctive features including a flat face, slanted eyes, and small ears and mouths. They also have shorter necks, arms, and legs than the norm.

&nbsp;

In almost all cases, those with Down syndrome will have physical and mental disabilities. Adults with Down syndrome function intellectually at an 8- or 9-year-old level. They also have an increased risk for other health problems.

&nbsp;

People with Down syndrome begin cognitive decline at an earlier age than those without. Typically, at around the age of 50, they will start to experience gradual loss of memory, judgement, and their ability to function. Approximately 50% of people with Down syndrome will develop Alzheimer's disease.

Osteogenesis imperfecta or brittle bone disease is a condition caused by ineffective or a lack of collagen in the bones. Collagen helps make strong bones; without it, the bones become weak and easily broken. Currently, there are no medications approved to treat osteogenesis imperfecta.

Wherever we live, there are times when we complain about how cold it is. Even in the hottest places on earth, those used to the temperatures might feel cold if it gets even a little bit cooler.

Which nutrients your body will get and how much depends on your diet. Nutrients are chemical substances that help your body maintain tissues, make energy, regulate different processes, etc. Nutrition is the process of taking nutrients from various foods. There are six classes of nutrients: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, water, minerals, and vitamins.

The third three classes are known as macronutrients because our bodies need them in large quantities. Lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins are unique because they are the only elements that provide the body with energy. Energy is measured in calories.

Water is also a nutrient that some scientists categorize as a macronutrient because our bodies need it in large quantities. Water is quickly lost through sweat and evaporation, so you need to fill up by drinking liquids and eating fruits, vegetables and other foods that contain water.

Consuming a healthy diet with vegetables, fruits, protein, and dairy ensures the body has enough nutrients to use.

Food

The foods you eat have a huge influence on your ability to enjoy life. One of the main effects of food is the feeling you get from eating a delicious meal. There are many different chemical substances in food, including macronutrients, micronutrients, water and dietary fiber. Macronutrients, for example, protein, are present in large amounts. Micronutrients are present in smaller quantities, for example, vitamins.

Food can also contain flavors, colors, active substances such as steroids, caffeine and salicylates, additives and natural toxins. Different characteristics of food depend on the presence of chemicals in them.
The chemical nature of food can be changed by preservation, storage and, of course, cooking. Moreover, food chemicals can interact with each other. For example, the way in which our bodies absorb carbohydrates depends on dietary fiber, even though our bodies don't absorb the fiber itself.

Which foods you eat have long-term effects on your health. Healthy foods help prevent some chronic diseases and decrease recovery periods from the disease.

The BRAT diet was once standard for diarrhea, but doctors now recommend alternatives. Learn about its limitations and newer, more effective approaches.

BRAT diet

Diarrhea is a condition characterized by frequent passing of abnormally loose or watery stools. Often, diarrhea is accompanied by stomach pain, abdominal cramps, and bloating. In severe cases, it can lead to dehydration, and weight loss.

&nbsp;

There are many causes of diarrhea including virus, bacteria, parasites, certain medications, lactose intolerance, fructose, artificial sweeteners, and other digestive disorders.

&nbsp;

In most cases, diarrhea will resolve within two days. If it lasts longer than two days, or if it is accompanied by fever, bloody stools, or severe abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention.

&nbsp;

A person who has diarrhea should avoid foods that aggravate the stomach and may cause spasms, such as milk products, fatty foods, and alcohol.

&nbsp;

Recommend foods for those with loose bowels include bananas, white rice, applesauce, white bread, and potatoes and other simple starches.
