*Good morning Life+ Community today we will look at Glaucoma*
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, and can lead to vision loss and blindness. It is often caused by high pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure, or IOP) but can also occur with normal IOP. Damage is usually gradual and has few symptoms in its early stages, which is why it's called the "silent thief of sight".
*Causes and risk factors*
*Intraocular pressure* *(IOP)* : A major risk factor is an elevated pressure inside the eye, caused by an imbalance between the production and drainage of the fluid (aqueous humor) that fills the eye.
*Age* : Risk increases with age, especially after 50.
*Family history* : A family history of glaucoma increases the risk.
*Medical conditions* : Certain conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease are linked to a higher risk.
*Eye trauma* : Previous eye injuries or conditions can also increase risk.
*Types of glaucoma*
*Open-angle glaucoma* : The most common type, where fluid drainage is gradual. It has no pain and typically involves a slow loss of peripheral vision.
*Angle-closure glaucoma* : Can be acute and is a medical emergency. Symptoms can include eye pain, nausea, blurred vision, and halos around lights.
*Congenital glaucoma* : Present in newborns and infants, with symptoms like large eyes and pupils, and cloudy corneas.
*Symptoms*
Most people have no symptoms in the early stages, making regular eye exams critical.
Vision loss typically starts with the loss of peripheral (side) vision, which is often not noticed until the damage is significant.
In advanced stages, vision loss can lead to blindness.
*Treatment and management*
Treatment aims to lower eye pressure to slow the progression of the disease.
Treatment options include:
- Prescription eye drops
- Oral medications
- Laser treatment
- Surgery

*Good morning Lifeplus Community;*
What does health really mean to you? According to science here is the definition; it refers to physical and emotional well-being, especially that associated with normal functioning of the human body, absent of disease and pain (including mental pain), or injury.
Health can be promoted by encouraging healthy activities, such as regular physical exercise and adequate sleep and by reducing or avoiding unhealthy activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, while others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still, other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders.
Again we ask what does health really mean to you?
@ *Lifeplus* we encourage you to take the responsibility of your health it is great to seek help but your daily habits are either supporting your wellness( Health) or slowly building up disease, prevention is always cheaper and better get involved in your health it's your body after all it's the only place you get to live in.
@ *Lifeplus* your health is our priority 🤝 remember to share with someone today.

*Good morning Life+ community today we will look at Jaundice*
Jaundice is the yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by a buildup of bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. While common and usually harmless in newborns, it can signal serious underlying conditions in adults and may be a symptom of liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or blood disorders. Diagnosis involves medical history and may require blood tests and imaging, while treatment focuses on the root cause.
*Causes*
*Liver disease* : Hepatitis, cirrhosis, or other liver conditions can prevent the liver from processing bilirubin properly.
*Bile duct obstruction* : Blockages from gallstones, tumors, or inflammation can prevent bilirubin from being excreted.
*Blood disorders* : Conditions like hemolytic anemia can cause the body to break down red blood cells too quickly, leading to a bilirubin overload.
*Infections* : Certain infections can impact liver function.
*Medications* : Some drugs can cause jaundice as a side effect.
*Newborns* : Jaundice is very common in newborns due to the liver still developing and can be a result of factors like blood group incompatibility or breast milk.
*Symptoms*
- Yellow discoloration of the skin, mucous membranes, and whites of the eyes
- Itchy skin
- Dark-colored urine
- Pale-colored stools
- Abdominal pain
- Fever and chills
- Flu-like symptoms
*Diagnosis and treatment*
A doctor will evaluate symptoms and medical history, and may order blood tests to check liver function and bilirubin levels.
Imaging tests like an ultrasound can help identify obstructions in the bile ducts.
A liver biopsy may be performed to check for inflammation, cancer, or fatty liver.
Treatment depends on the cause. For example, a gallstone obstruction may require removal, while liver disease treatment depends on the specific condition.

*Good morning Life+ community today we will look at Eczema*
Eczema is a group of inflammatory skin conditions causing dry, itchy, and red rashes that can sometimes lead to cracking, oozing, or thickening of the skin. While the exact cause is unknown, it is linked to genetics and environmental triggers, and often runs in families that also have asthma or hay fever. Eczema is chronic, but its severity can vary and it is not contagious. Treatments focus on managing symptoms with moisturizers, topical medications, and avoiding triggers.
*Symptoms* include;
- Dry, scaly, or cracked skin
- Itching, which can lead to a cycle of scratching, irritation, and more itching
- Redness, swelling, and rash
- Blisters that can weep fluid
- Thick, leathery skin over time due to chronic inflammation
The location and appearance of the rash can vary by age and skin tone
*Causes and triggers*
A genetic mutation can lead to a weakened skin barrier, making it harder to retain moisture and protect against irritants;
*Common triggers* include stress, certain soaps, harsh fabrics, and allergens like pollen or certain foods
*Treatment and management*
*Moisturizing* : Keeping the skin moisturized is a key first step.
*Topical treatments* : Doctors may prescribe creams, such as topical corticosteroids, to reduce inflammation.
*Trigger avoidance* : Identifying and avoiding personal triggers can help prevent flare-ups.
*Other options* : More severe cases may be treated with other medications or light therapy.
*See a doctor* : It is best to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and to get treatment, especially if symptoms are severe, persistent, or affecting daily life.
*Key facts*
- Eczema is a chronic condition, but symptoms often improve with age, especially in children.
- It is not contagious.
- Having eczema can increase the risk of developing other atopic conditions like asthma and hay fever.

*Good morning Life+ community today we will look at stroke*
A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to die due to a lack of oxygen.
*What a stroke is*
A stroke is a "brain attack" where brain cells begin to die within minutes without a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients from the blood.
This can lead to lasting brain damage, disability, or death, depending on the stroke's location and severity.
*Types of stroke*
*Ischemic stroke* : The most common type, occurring when a blood clot or fatty plaque buildup blocks an artery supplying blood to the brain. A temporary blockage can cause a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or "ministroke".
*Hemorrhagic stroke* : Occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing bleeding into the surrounding brain tissue.
*Symptoms of a stroke*
Symptoms often appear suddenly and can include:
- Numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Confusion or difficulty speaking and understanding speech
- Trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Difficulty walking, dizziness, or loss of balance and coordination
- A sudden, severe headache with no known cause
*What to do in an emergency*
A stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention.
Call an ambulance or local emergency number right away if you or someone you know experiences stroke symptoms.
*Time is critical* ; quick treatment can prevent permanent brain damage.
*Causes and risk factors*
Poor diet, smoking, and excessive alcohol use can contribute to blood clots.
Conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can weaken arteries and make them more susceptible to rupturing.
Risk factors are appearing in younger adults as well, including high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and drug use.

*Good morning Life+ Community today we will look at Ulcers*
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and sores, or ulcers, in the inner lining of the colon and re**um.
*What it is*
A long-term condition that causes inflammation and ulcers in the large intestine and re**um.
*Symptoms include*
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Diarrhea with blood or pus
- A frequent, urgent need to have a bowel movement, even when the bowels are empty
- Re**al bleeding
Fatigue and weight loss
*Causes*
The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to result from a combination of factors, including:
- An abnormal immune response where the immune system attacks the lining of the colon.
- Genetic predisposition, as it tends to run in families.
- Environmental factors.
*Diagnosis and treatment*
Diagnosis is based on a combination of blood tests, stool tests, and endoscopic procedures like a colonoscopy.
While there is no cure, treatments can help control the disease and allow many people to live active lives.
Treatment may include medication to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.
In severe cases, surgery to remove the colon may be necessary.
*Lifeplus Health tip* : basically uclers are as a result of your own immune system attacking healthy cells in your colon and re**um with abdominal pain due to inflammation, you can use *Morecell* which is anti-inflammatory and has the benefits of DNA protection and repair ( the immune system is not supposed to destroy healthy tissues this is a messaging malfunction in the immune cells).

*Good morning Life+ community today we will look at the microbiome*
The microbiome is a community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that live on and inside the human body. These microbes perform vital functions such as digestion, synthesizing vitamins, and supporting the immune system. The microbiome is dynamic and is shaped by factors like diet, environment, and medication, with imbalances potentially linked to various diseases.
*Key aspects of the microbiome*
*Composition* : The human microbiome is a diverse collection of microbes that reside in and on the body, with the largest community found in the gut. It is composed of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
*Functions* : The microbiome plays a crucial role in *maintaining health by* :
- Aiding in digestion and the breakdown of indigestible foods.
- Synthesizing essential nutrients like B vitamins and vitamin K.
- Helping to develop and modulate the immune system.
- Protecting against pathogens through "colonization resistance".
- Influencing mood and cognitive function.
*Development and change:*
A person's microbiome is established early in life, with initial seeding from the mother.
Factors like birth method (vaginal vs. C-section), early nutrition, and antibiotic exposure can significantly impact its development.
It changes throughout life due to diet, medications, infections, and environmental factors.
*Health and disease* :
A healthy, diverse microbiome is linked to good health.
An imbalance, or dysbiosis, is associated with a variety of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular issues.
The microbiome can also influence how a person responds to certain drugs.
*Research* :
Scientists study the microbiome using tools like genetic sequencing to understand its role in health and disease.
Future applications include developing tailored treatments for conditions based on an individual's unique microbiome.

*Good morning Life+ Community today we will look at the Brain*🧠
The brain is a complex organ that acts as the control center of the body, responsible for functions like thought, memory, emotion, and movement. It is composed of three main parts: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. The brain receives and processes information from the senses and sends messages to the rest of the body to coordinate all activities, from basic functions like breathing and heartbeat to more complex ones like speech and decision-making.
*Brain components and functions*
*Cerebrum* : The largest part of the brain, responsible for thinking, learning, memory, and consciousness. It is divided into two hemispheres and further into four main lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital.
*Cerebellum* : Located at the back of the head, the cerebellum coordinates voluntary muscle movements, balance, and posture.
*Brainstem* : Connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord and controls vital involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, and sleep.
*Neurons* : The brain's fundamental units are nerve cells called neurons, which transmit information through electrical and chemical signals called *neurotransmitters* .
How the brain works
The brain works like a computer, receiving information from senses and internal signals and sending back instructions.
Neurons form a vast network, with dendrites receiving signals and axons sending them to other cells.
Messages are passed between neurons across a tiny gap called a synapse using chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters.
This continuous communication allows for rapid responses, such as pulling your hand away from a hot stove.
The brain is protected by the skull, meninges (membranes), and cerebrospinal fluid, which acts as a cushion and removes waste.

*Good morning Life+ community today we will look at how wounds heal*
Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves three or four main phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. It begins immediately after an injury with blood clotting to stop bleeding (hemostasis), followed by an inflammatory response to clean the wound and fight infection. Next, new tissue is built during the proliferation phase, and finally, the tissue is strengthened and remodeled into a scar during the final phase.
1. *Hemostasis*
Occurs immediately after injury as blood vessels constrict to reduce blood loss.
Platelets aggregate at the site of injury and form a clot, sealing the wound and creating a temporary barrier.
2. *Inflammation*
Begins as blood vessels dilate, allowing white blood cells and nutrients to reach the wound.
White blood cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, clean the wound by removing bacteria and damaged tissue.
This phase is marked by the classic signs of inflammation: pain, redness, heat, and swelling.
3. *Proliferation*
Starts after the inflammatory phase, typically within a few days.
Fibroblasts migrate to the wound to create new connective tissue (granulation tissue).
New blood vessels form to supply the area, and the top layer of skin cells, called keratinocytes, begin to regenerate.
4. *Remodeling*
The final and longest phase, which can take months to a year or more to complete.
Granulation tissue is gradually replaced by a permanent scar as fibroblasts reorganize and strengthen the tissue.
This phase involves a balance between the breakdown of old tissue and the production of new tissue to form a stronger, more mature scar.
