The Know-How

PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE
Peripheral vascular disease is a progressive disorder of circulation most commonly caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis). Narrowing, blockage and spasm in a blood vessel can cause PVD. It can affect any blood vessel in the body. Commonly, it affects the legs.

Risk factors include males, increasing age, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, high cholesterol, smoking and obesity.

The most common symptom is painful cramping in the leg with walking, which is better after rest. Loss of hair, a change in skin colour and the formation of non-healing wounds on the ankles and lower legs are other common findings.

The disease can be prevented by addressing risk factors.
Early treatment is essential to avoid serious complications such as amputation.

Call us today for your check-up.

STROKE

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients.
Here are the four leading symptoms building up to a stroke:

- Facial Weakness/Drooping
- Paralysis of the arm/leg
- Difficulty or confused speech
- Abnormalities with vision such as double vision

Should you start seeing these signs, call an ambulance or emergency services.

Have you or a loved one been affected by a stroke?

CHOLESTEROL

Cholesterol is a fatty, wax-like substance found in your blood. Cholesterol is NEEDED in the body to produce healthy cells, but an excess thereof will increase your chance of heart disease.

Although cholesterol can be high, it is most commonly a acquired disease that originates from unhealthy life choices and can therefore be prevented and cured. Regular exercise and a healthy diet are ways to combat high cholesterol.

We highly recommend a blood test every five years to screen for high cholesterol, as it has very few visible symptoms.

Call us today for your check-up.

BREAST SELF EXAM ✋

Breast self-examination can help you detect breast lumps early. It is important for early detection of breast cancer. Detecting breast cancer early may improve your prognosis. Here are the steps to perform a self-examination at home:

Step 1: Examine Your Breasts in a Mirror with your hands on your hips, then Raise your Arms and Examine Your Breasts (check for the following)
- Breasts that are their usual size, shape, and colour
- Breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling
Step 2: Look for Signs of Breast Fluid
Step 3: Feel for Breast Lumps While Lying Down
Step 4: Feel Your Breasts for Lumps While Standing or Sitting

Warning signs could be lumps, retracted ni**le, ni**le discharge, dimpling skin and the enlargement of one breast.

“According to the American Cancer Society, when breast cancer is detected early, and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.”

📞 Contact us for a professional examination at 082 523 4841.

SLEEP HYGIENE 😴😴
Don’t let the bed bugs bite just got REAL!

Sleep hygiene refers to the quality of your sleep and not so much the state of your sheets (although it does play a part).
Getting enough quality rest is the cornerstone of your physical and mental health and is vitally important to you!

Here are a few tips to amp up your sleep hygiene:
- Stick to a sleeping schedule (challenging but doable)
- Create a calming routine (whether it is to read a book or take a bath, create that routine for your body)
- Try and avoid heavy meals before sleep (remember: a late steak will keep you awake)
- Limit alcohol and caffeine before bed (try a relaxing tea or hot water with lemon)
- Invest in a quality mattress and quality bedding (stay comfy to stay relaxed)
- Get regular exercise (it helps the muscles relax)
- SAY NO TO YOUR PHONE! (the increase in brain stimulation will deprive you of the deep sleep you require)

Feel free to contact us with any questions on this topic.
