What Should My Cholesterol Level Be At My Age?

For healthy people (especially under the age of 20), the optimal cholesterol level is total cholesterol of less than 200mg/dL, LDL cholesterol of less than 130mg/dL. Anything over that should be approached cautiously and you may want to work with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action. Based on your health condition, lifestyle habits, family history, and more, they may recommend supplementing your diet with specific high-quality plant sterols which - after some time - can decrease LDL particles in the blood gradually through lowering blood triglyceride levels.  This might not be necessary for everyone but it never hurts to listen to expert advice.

Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a significant health concern affecting millions worldwide. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of PVD, covering its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. We'll delve into the importance of early detection and management, equipping you with essential knowledge for a healthier life. Understanding PVD: A Closer Look Peripheral Vascular Disease, commonly referred to as PVD, encompasses a range of conditions that affect the blood vessels outside the heart and brain. At its core, PVD is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, a process where arteries become narrowed and hardened due to the buildup of plaque. Types of PVD PVD isn't a one-size-fits-all condition; it manifests in various forms, with the most common being Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and venous PVD. PAD results from narrowed arteries, reducing blood flow to the limbs, while venous PVD involves issues with the veins, often leading to blood pooling in the legs. Symptoms of PVD Recognizing the Telltale Signs Identifying the symptoms of PVD is pivotal for timely intervention. Here are some common indicators to watch out for: Leg Pain or Cramping: Individuals with PVD often experience pain, cramping, or aching in the legs, particularly during physical activity. Numbness or Weakness: Numbness, weakness, or a feeling of heaviness in the legs can be early signs of compromised blood flow. Coldness in Extremities: Persistent coldness in the hands or feet may indicate poor circulation. Skin Discoloration: Changes in skin color, such as paleness or blueness, can be attributed to reduced blood flow. Risk Factors Unveiling the Contributors to PVD Understanding the risk factors associated with PVD is essential for proactive health management. Here are key factors that can increase your susceptibility: Smoking: Smoking remains one of the most significant contributors to PVD, accelerating the hardening of arteries. Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes are at higher risk due to potential damage to blood vessels. High Blood Pressure: Hypertension strains blood vessels, making them more susceptible to PVD. High Cholesterol: Elevated cholesterol levels contribute to plaque buildup, a primary PVD trigger. Diagnosis and Evaluation Crucial Steps in Identifying PVD Timely diagnosis is paramount in managing PVD effectively. Healthcare professionals employ various methods to evaluate and diagnose PVD. Here's a glimpse into the diagnostic process: Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) Test: ABI is a non-invasive test that measures blood pressure in the arms and ankles, aiding in the assessment of blood flow. Doppler Ultrasound: This imaging technique uses sound waves to create images of blood flow within the arteries, helping identify blockages. Angiography: Invasive angiography involves injecting contrast dye into the arteries to visualize blood flow and pinpoint areas of concern. Treatment Options Navigating the Path to Wellness The management of PVD involves a spectrum of treatment options tailored to individual needs. Here's an overview of strategies aimed at improving circulation and enhancing well-being: Lifestyle Changes: Embracing a heart-healthy lifestyle through balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and smoking cessation can significantly mitigate PVD progression. Medications: Physicians may prescribe medications such as antiplatelet drugs and statins to manage risk factors and improve blood flow. Minimally Invasive Procedures: Interventions like angioplasty and stenting can effectively open narrowed arteries, restoring proper blood flow. Surgical Interventions: In severe cases, bypass surgery may be necessary to reroute blood around severely blocked arteries. Living with PVD Empowering a Fulfilling Life Living with PVD necessitates adjustments and strategies to ensure a fulfilling life. Here, we'll explore practical tips and insights for individuals managing PVD, including: Pain Management: Techniques for addressing leg pain and discomfort. Mobility: Tips for maintaining mobility and staying active despite PVD. Support and Resources: Information on support groups and resources available for those with PVD. Prevention Guarding Against PVD Prevention is a powerful tool in the fight against PVD. We'll delve into proactive measures individuals can take to reduce their risk, including: Healthy Eating: Dietary choices that support vascular health. Physical Activity: The role of exercise in maintaining circulation. Regular Check-Ups: The importance of routine medical assessments.   frequently asked questions (FAQs) related to Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) along with their answers, formatted in Markdown: Q1: What is Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)? Peripheral Vascular Disease, often abbreviated as PVD, refers to a group of conditions that affect the blood vessels outside the heart and brain. It typically involves the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels, which can lead to reduced blood flow to the limbs. Q2: What are the common symptoms of PVD? Common symptoms of PVD include leg pain or cramping, numbness or weakness in the legs, coldness in the extremities, and skin discoloration. These symptoms often occur during physical activity and may subside with rest. Q3: What causes PVD? The primary cause of PVD is atherosclerosis, a process where arteries become narrowed and hardened due to the buildup of plaque. Other factors contributing to PVD include smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and aging. Q4: How is PVD diagnosed? PVD can be diagnosed through various methods, including the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) test, Doppler ultrasound, and angiography. These tests help assess blood flow and identify blockages in the arteries. Q5: Is PVD a serious condition? Yes, PVD can be a serious condition if left untreated. It can lead to complications such as chronic pain, difficulty walking, non-healing wounds, and in severe cases, tissue loss or gangrene. Q6: Can PVD be prevented? A6: Yes, PVD can often be prevented or its progression slowed. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, adopting a heart-healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and managing underlying conditions like diabetes and hypertension can reduce the risk of PVD. Q7: What are the treatment options for PVD? Treatment options for PVD include lifestyle changes, medications (antiplatelet drugs, statins), minimally invasive procedures (angioplasty, stenting), and surgical interventions (bypass surgery). The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the condition and individual factors. Q8: Can PVD be managed without surgery? Yes, PVD can often be managed without surgery. Lifestyle changes and medications are effective in many cases. Surgical interventions are considered when other treatments are ineffective or when there is severe arterial blockage. Q9: Is PVD more common in older adults? Yes, PVD becomes more common with age. However, it can affect people of all age groups, especially those with risk factors such as smoking and diabetes. Q10: Where can I find support and resources for PVD management? Support groups, healthcare providers, and online resources can be valuable for individuals managing PVD. Consult your healthcare professional for guidance and explore reputable sources for information and assistance. Conclusion In conclusion, understanding PVD is the first step towards effective management. By recognizing the symptoms, addressing risk factors, and collaborating with healthcare professionals, individuals can navigate the challenges posed by PVD with confidence. Remember, early intervention and a proactive approach are key to ensuring a healthier, more vibrant life despite PVD.

Chiron: where is our physical (and mental) wound?

I'm currently reading a book about Chiron (did you know it's actually half asteroid, half comet? me neither), which inspired me to make this post. I'm in no way an expert in medical astrology, just a curious owl that wants to learn more about every branch of astrology out there (my Sag Venus loves it!!🤭)

DISCLAIMER!!! I'm not a doctor. If you've been feeling any symptoms described here, TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR, NOT WITH ME

Observation: Before we dive in, i'd like to mention that the position of Chiron in the houses is important. Not every house placement suggests having a poor physical condition. The most prominent Chiron placements when it comes to having a medical condition are: Chiron in 1st house (house of self, visible illnesses), Chiron in 5th house (illnesses since birth/early childhood), Chiron in 6th house (house of health, if Saturn is also sitting there it points to chronic illnesses), Chiron in 8th house (house of death, may point to severe diseases or poor reproductive health) and Chiron in 12th house (house of the unconscious, deals with mental illnesses)

Honorable mention to Chiron in 3rd house and Chiron in 9th house as they represent accidents while travelling. If Chiron is heavily afflicted in these houses (unless it's also conjuncting Jupiter), it may point to...let's just say you're gonna be in a hospital bed in a vegetative state, but remember, nothing has a 100% possibility of happening, you're just more susceptible to it happening. I suggest checking the position of Chiron in Solar Return charts for the possible timing of it happening (look for Chiron in 3rd house/Chiron in 9th house as it activates your natal Chiron)

Without further do, let's dive in⚕️

Chiron in Aries: frequent headaches, frequent nose bleeds, teeth problems (sensitive teeth, tooth decay), deafness, skull fractures, cerebral anemia, brain tumours, hemophilia, epilepsy, BPD

Chiron in Taurus: frequent colds, frequent voice loss, thyroid problems (goiter, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidis, etc.), tonsilitis, OCD

Chiron in Gemini: lung problems (asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc.), speech problems (stuttering, cluttering, mutism), alzheimer's disease, ADHD, OCD

Chiron in Cancer: frequent stomach pain, prone to lactose intolerance, (for girls) breast lumps, breast cysts, breast infections, nipple discharge, depression, anxiety

Chiron in Leo: prone to insolation, frequent heart palpitations, chest pain, hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, scoliosis, kyphosis

Chiron in Virgo: frequent bloating, prone to gluten intolerance, chronic allergies, diabetes, rabies, autism, ADHD, OCD

Chiron in Libra: prone to acne, frequent lower back pain, disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, chronic kidney disease, kidney stones

Chiron in Scorpio: frequent pain down there, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV/AIDS, depression

Chiron in Sagittarius: frequent pain in the hips, prone to hips dislocation, cirrhosis, sciatica

Chiron in Capricorn: prone to knees dislocation, osteoarthritis, bone problems (osteopenia, osteoporosis), gout, depression

Chiron in Aquarius: electrical injuries, shin splints, osteofibrous dysplasia, ankle sprain, ankle fractures, poor blood circulation, schizophrenia

Chiron in Pisces: prone to break toes, athlete's foot, bunions, addison's disease, hormonal deregulation, aphantasia, psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety

Yes, i'm aware of the fact that it's a generational planet and it moves very slowly through signs

BONUS: It's important to take into consideration all planets that conjunct, square or opposite Chiron (regardless if they're personal or generational) + the Ascendant for additional info about our illnesses

Ex. Let's take me as an example. My Chiron is in my 10th house in Capricorn squaring Saturn in 4th house (so double Capricorn energy) and Aries Ascendant. Guess what? I've got TMJ (basically a jaw disorder affecting the joints) and i've got it from my fam -_- (Saturn rules tradition i love my fam)

I also believe that having a heavy afflicted Chiron in general makes someone prone to having a medical condition, even if it's not in the houses mentioned previously (like in my case). However, these people are more focused on the main meaning of the house, not their health problems. They tend to ignore their health problems or they just don't care

I hope you enjoyed my post and found it insightful :)

What's your wound? Lmk in the comments your placements and your illnesses

Kisses xoxo

She thought about how no one had taught us to grow old, how we didn’t know what it would be like. When we were young we thought of old age as an ailment that affected only other people. While we, for reasons never entirely clear, would remain young. We treated the old as though they were responsible for their condition somehow, as though they’d done something to earn it, like some types of diabetes or arteriosclerosis. And yet this was an ailment that affected the absolute most innocent.

At the National Institute for Medical Research at Mill Hill: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth watch Dr. C. M. Chu of the Virus Research Division at work. // May 5, 1950

The visit’s purpose was for the King to officially open the Institute, which had relocated to Mill Hill. In a speech he acknowledged his own debt to medical research:

‘I can tell you personally that I am indeed thankful and grateful for the work of this Institute. For I am told that had it not been for medical research I should not be standing here on my two legs today.’

(When the King was diagnosed with arteriosclerosis late in 1948 there was a danger of gangrene developing, and at first there were fears that his right leg might have to be amputated.)

Are there any complications that embalmers have to be weary of? Sorry if you arent ready for a question like this, or if i seem ignorant. :]

Hi! No worries! If you mean physical complications, yes! There are a lot of heath conditions that can affect the embalming process and dictate what procedure or chemicals are best to use. One of the most common ones I see is arteriosclerosis; which is a condition where the arteries are weakened and there is plaque buildup. It's common in older folks. The arteries are extremely important for embalming because the embalming fluid is injected directly into the arteries. One way we treat that is by injecting multiple arteries at a time, or one after the other, to make sure the whole body is embalmed.

Another condition that's common is edema, which is fluid buildup under the skin. This requires a stronger embalming solution to dehydrate the fluid. If someone is emaciated because they were really skinny, malnourished, or dehydrated, those people require a hydrating embalming solution.

Infectious diseases are something we have to be warry of too! All embalmers have the opportunity to receive a Hepatitis vaccination at the cost of their employer. We also have to be very wary of people who had a prion disease, or other infectious blood diseases at time of death. The list goes on!

I hope that answers your question! During our education we take pathology and infectious disease classes to help us understand the conditions that we might come across and how to treat the affects of them in the embalming room. :)

International Man: The Soviet Union used the diagnosis of mental illness as a tool to silence political dissenters. It was a practice known as “psychiatric repression.”

Dissidents who spoke out against the government were often declared insane and forcibly institutionalized in psychiatric hospitals, where the government subjected them to inhumane treatment and abuses.

The diagnoses were often based on political rather than medical criteria and were used as a means of punishment and control.

What is your take on this practice?

Doug Casey: Well, before we get into what happened in the Soviet Union, and what seems to now be happening in the US, we really have to address the validity of psychiatry as a science to start with, and mental illness as being a real illness.

Dr. Thomas Szasz, who died some years ago, made the case that mental illness is not a medical concept and does not have a biological basis. He believed that what people commonly refer to as “mental illness” is actually a label used to describe deviant behavior, emotions, and thoughts that do not conform to social norms. He argued that mental illnesses are not diseases in the traditional sense, as they cannot be objectively measured or diagnosed like physical conditions such as cancer or arteriosclerosis. He wrote numerous books debunking psychiatry; I highly recommend them.

My own view is that people have always had psychological problems, worries, and aberrations. These things were once dealt with by talking to friends, counselors, or religious figures. Since the time of Sigmund Freud, however, “treating” mental conditions has been turned into the business of psychiatry.

Medical men, it seems, are interested in turtle blood, because turtles don’t suffer from arteriosclerosis in old age. The doctors are wondering whether there is some special property of turtle blood that prevents the arteries from hardening. It could be, of course. But there is also the possibility that a turtle’s blood vessels stay in nice shape because of the way turtles conduct their lives. Turtles rarely pass up a chance to relax in the sun on a partly submerged log. No two turtles ever lunched together with the idea of promoting anything. No turtle ever went around complaining that there is no profit in book publishing except from the subsidiary rights. Turtles do not work day and night to perfect explosive devices that wipe out Pacific islands and eventually render turtles sterile. Turtles never use the word “implementation” or the phrases “hard core” and “in the last analysis.” No turtle ever rang another turtle back on the phone. In the last analysis, a turtle, although lacking know-how, knows how to live. A turtle, by its admirable habits, gets to the hard core of life. That may be why its arteries are so soft.
