Carbohydrates have the biggest impact on your blood glucose (blood sugar). The Nutrition Facts label shows how many grams of carbs are in each serving of packaged foods. One way to lower your carb count is to eat a smaller portion size.

Thyroid 101
Ni Dr. Iris Thiele C. Isip Tan

Kapag may hinala na may problema sa thyroid, kasama sa pinapagawa ng doktor ang thyroid hormone tests: T3, T4 (minsan FT4) at TSH. And T3 at T4 ay thyroid hormones. Ang ibig sabihin naman ng TSH ay Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. Sa pamamagitan ng tests na ito ay masasabi kung ang pasyente ay:

1. EUTHYROID. Ibig sabihin normal ang level ng thyroid hormones. Posibleng may bosyo o bukol sa thyroid ang pasyente pero normal ang thyroid hormone levels niya.

2. HYPERTHYROID. Mataas ang level ng thyroid hormones, T3 at T4. Posibleng walang bukol sa leeg pero hyperthyroid.

3. HYPOTHYROID. Mababa ang level ng thyroid hormones, T3 at T4. Puwedeng hypothyroid at may goiter. Puwedeng mag-hypothyroid kung umiinom ng gamot na pang-hyperthyroid at hindi nagpa-follow up kaya nasosobrahan na ng gamot. Puwede ring maging hypothyroid pagkatapos ng radioactive iodine (RAI), na gamot sa pagiging hyperthyroid. Kung naoperahan at natanggal ang buong thyroid, wala nang gland na gagawa ng thyroid hormones kaya nagiging hypothyroid din.

Mahirap mag-diagnose ng sarili kung may thyroid problem dahil may iba’t ibang klaseng sakit sa thyroid. Dapat din na tuloy tuloy ang pag-follow up sa doktor dahil ang level ng thyroid hormones ay mino-monitor at puwedeng mag-iba. Puwedeng magsimula na sobra ang thyroid hormones (HYPERthyroid) at pagkatapos ay maging kulang naman (HYPOthyroid).

LDL cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol, can cause fatty buildup in the arteries. High LDL can raise the risk of heart attack or stroke, but often has no symptoms. A simple blood test can tell you your LDL number. Various research studies have shown when it comes to LDL, "lower is better."

150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week is the recommended amount for a healthy heart. But this is one case where more might be better. Research showed that adults who exercised two to four times the recommended amount might lower their risk of dying by as much as 31%.
