The AFib Diet for Seniors

Isadora Kwon

Sinopsis

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of irregular heartbeat that can seriously impact your quality of life, especially as you age. AFib becomes more common in seniors because the heart naturally undergoes changes over time.

For example, the heart muscles might become less elastic, affecting their ability to pump blood efficiently. This decline often happens alongside age-related conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or arthritis, making AFib management more challenging for older adults.

Unlike younger adults, seniors may experience AFib symptoms more subtly. While some feel heart palpitations or a racing pulse, others might mostly notice fatigue or shortness of breath. Understanding these differences is the first step to effectively managing the condition.

While medication is often a core part of managing AFib, diet can be just as important. The food you eat can help regulate your body’s electrolyte balance, reduce inflammation, and even lower your risk of stroke. For seniors, eating well isn’t just about addressing AFib. It’s about meeting the unique nutritional needs that come with aging.

A thoughtful diet tailored to manage AFib focuses on eating nutrient-rich whole foods, staying hydrated, and avoiding processed ingredients or known triggers like excess salt or caffeine. Adjustments to portion sizes and the incorporation of key nutrients like potassium and magnesium can provide extra benefits.

Skin & Tissue Conditions - When...

Lilly Richardsen

The human skin is more than a mere protective barrier; it is a dynamic, complex ecosystem that reveals the intricate conversations between our immune system, external environment, and internal health. In this comprehensive exploration of dermatological conditions, we unravel the mysteries of disorders that emerge when the body's delicate biological mechanisms turn against themselves, transforming protective responses into sources of persistent challenge. Rhinophyma, Rosacea, Scabies, and Yeast Infections represent a diverse spectrum of conditions that not only impact physical appearance but profoundly influence an individual's psychological well-being, social interactions, and quality of life. 
Beyond the clinical descriptions and medical terminology lies a deeply human narrative of resilience, adaptation, and the ongoing struggle between our body's defensive systems and invasive or dysregulated biological processes. Each condition examined in this volume tells a unique story of cellular miscommunication, inflammatory responses, and the complex interplay between genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and individual immune system variations. By delving into the biological mechanisms, diagnostic challenges, treatment strategies, and personal experiences associated with these skin and tissue conditions, we aim to provide a holistic understanding that transcends traditional medical discourse, offering insights for healthcare professionals, patients, and anyone seeking to comprehend the remarkable complexity of human dermatological health.

Great Lakes for Sale - From...

Dave Dempsey

“Lake Michigan may be coming to Idaho.” 
That’s what an Idaho radio commentator said in June 2021. Holding approximately 20% of the world’s surface freshwater, the Great Lakes are once again a target for the drought-ridden West, which is facing climate change, massive fires, and shrinking water supplies. And in a potentially far bigger threat, Wall Street is creating markets that could lead to the trading of freshwaters as a commodity like corn or oil. The Great Lakes are in danger of becoming privately exploited on a large scale by those who have priorities other than stewardship. 
In the updated edition of Great Lakes for Sale, author Dave Dempsey offers surprising, even controversial, ideas on how to prevent the fulfillment of this nightmare scenario. They include attacking water commercialization, curbing abuse of the Great Lakes Compact, and devising plans for limited sharing of the Great Lakes to forestall humanitarian disasters. If the Great Lakes are to remain great, new thinking and action will be required.
