Let’s talk about lemons 🍋 and their health benefits. 🎥 Watch the full video below!

Lemons may be small, but they’re packed with vitamin C—an antioxidant that supports the immune system, helps protect cells, and plays a role in healthy skin and tissue repair.

They can also be helpful for kidney health. The citric acid in lemons may increase urinary citrate, which can help reduce the risk of certain kidney stones, including calcium oxalate stones.

Lemons also support hydration, which is essential for energy, digestion, and overall kidney function. Plus, they contain antioxidants that help support healthy blood vessels.

Small, consistent dietary choices may support overall health over time, such as the regular inclusion of lemon in your daily routine.

• Low body temperature

If someone is unconscious or having trouble breathing, call 911 immediately. Do NOT leave them alone.

🦠 Understanding Actinomycosis 🦠

Actinomycosis is a rare but serious bacterial infection that can affect the face, neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis. It develops when bacteria that normally live in the mouth, throat, or digestive tract enter deeper tissues through injury, surgery, or infection.

Symptoms May Include:�• Swelling or firm lumps under the skin�• Drainage of pus�• Fever�• Fatigue�• Pain in the affected area

Because actinomycosis can spread slowly and mimic other conditions, early diagnosis is important. Treatment often involves a prolonged course of antibiotics and close medical follow-up.

If you are experiencing unusual swelling, persistent infection, or unexplained symptoms, don’t ignore them.

🖐️ Understanding Ganglion Cysts

A ganglion cyst is a noncancerous, fluid-filled lump that commonly develops along the tendons or joints of the wrists or hands — but they can also appear on the ankles or feet. While usually harmless, they can sometimes cause discomfort or limit movement.

🔎 Common Signs:
• A visible lump under the skin
• Aching or joint discomfort
• Tingling or numbness (if pressing on a nerve)
• Pain with movement or pressure

💡 What Causes Them?
Ganglion cysts are often linked to joint irritation, repetitive motion, or minor injury — though sometimes they develop without a clear cause.

🩺 Treatment Options May Include:
• Observation (if painless)
• Immobilization
• Anti-inflammatory medication
• Drainage (aspiration)
• Surgical removal in persistent cases

If you notice a new lump, persistent pain, or changes in movement, it’s important to get evaluated to rule out other conditions.

🦴 Understanding Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal discs and joints in the neck. It is very common and often develops as we get older, but early management can help prevent complications.

⚠️ Common Symptoms:
• Neck pain and stiffness
• Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
• Shoulder or arm pain
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
• Weakness in severe cases

🚨 Seek Medical Attention If You Notice:
• Loss of coordination
• Difficulty walking
• Loss of bladder or bowel control

💡 Treatment Options May Include:
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Physical therapy
• Posture correction
• Lifestyle modifications
• In advanced cases, specialist referral

Early evaluation can help relieve discomfort and protect long-term spine health.

🩺 Medical Minute with Dr. Shelton

Let’s talk about diabetes and the serious complications it can cause, including peripheral vascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and nerve damage.
When managing diabetes, prevention and early detection are key.

Peripheral vascular disease can reduce blood flow to the legs and feet, increasing the risk of ulcers and infections. Diabetic patients should see a podiatrist at least once a year for proper foot care and hygiene.

Diabetes can also cause peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage), it’s very important not to walk barefoot. Even small cuts or lesions can lead to serious infections if left untreated.

Recognizing early warning signs and seeing your physician regularly can prevent severe health complications.
