  • What You Should Know About Stomach Gas Problems
    Although the mention of stomach gas problems, such as belching, flatulence, bloating and “gas pains” often elicits some degree of amusement, all of us have gas in our intestinal tract and must expel it in some way.

  • Bunions: The Result Of Poorly Fitted Shoes
    A bunion is a bony lump on the side of the foot at the base of the big toe. This may be an isolated problem, but it is often associated with other problems with the shape of the foot.

    The most common cause of bunions is footwear that does not have enough width to fit the toes in their natural position. High heels are particularly to blame as they squash the toes into the narrowest part of the front of the shoe.

    Bunions are more common in women than men, and a tendency t...
  • A New Direction In Weight Control - Gastric Bypass Surgery
    Surgery may be a weight-loss option for patients who are severely obese and suffer from serious medical complications due to weight. There are two accepted surgical procedures for reducing body weight: gastroplasty and gastric bypass.

Surgery produces 25 to 35 perce...
  • What You Must Know About Diabetes
    Diabetes Mellitus is a disease in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone that helps the body’s tissues absorb glucose (sugar) so it can be used as a source of energy.
