Welcome to our weekly Quanlim Life- Health information and news for Farmers and families.
Shingles is a painful skin rash. It is caused by the varicella zoster virus. Shingles usually appears in a band, a strip, or a small area on one side of the face or body. It is also called herpes zoster. Shingles is most common in older adults and people who have weak immune systems because of stress, injury, certain medicines, or other reasons. Most people who get shingles will get better and will not get it again. But it is possible to get shingles more than once.Shingles occurs when the virus that causes chickenpox starts up again in your body. After you get better from chickenpox, the virus "sleeps" (is dormant) in your nerve roots. In some people, it stays dormant forever. In others, the virus "wakes up" when disease, stress, or aging weakens the immune system. Some medicines may trigger the virus to wake up and cause a shingles rash. It is not clear why this happens. But after the virus becomes active again, it can only cause shingles, not chickenpox.You can't catch shingles from someone else who has shingles. But there is a small chance that a person with a shingles rash can spread the virus to another person who hasn't had chickenpox.Shingles symptoms happen in stages. At first you may have a headache or be sensitive to light. You may also feel like you have the flu but not have a fever. Later, you may feel itching, tingling, or pain in a certain area. That's where a band, strip, or small area of rash may occur a few days later. The rash turns into clusters of blisters. The blisters fill with fluid and then crust over. It takes 2 to 4 weeks for the blisters to heal, and they may leave scars. Some people only get a mild rash. And some do not get a rash at all.It's possible that you could also feel dizzy or weak. Or you could have long-term pain or a rash on your face, changes in your vision, changes in how well you can think, or a rash that spreads. If you have any of these problems from shingles, call your doctor right away.
The pain is usually a constant, burning, or gnawing pain. In addition to, or instead of this, you may have sharp or stabbing pains that come and go. The affected area of skin is often very sensitive. Even slight touch may cause pain, such as the rubbing of clothes or a draught of air on the affected area. You may also have reduced sensation to touch, and be itchy over the affected area.

Essensiële aminosure kan nie deur die liggaam geproduseer word nie. Hulle moet afkomstig wees van die voedsel wat verbruik word. Die nege essensiële aminosure is: histidien, isoleusien, leusien, lisien, metionien, fenielalanien, treonien, triptofaan en valien.
Nie-essensiële aminosure is aminosure wat die liggaam self produseer, selfs al word dit nie in die voedsel wat verbruik word, ingeneem nie. Nie-essensiële aminosure sluit in: alanien, arginien, asparagien, asparaginesuur, sisteïen, glutamiensuur, glutamien, glisien, prolien, serien en tirosien.
Voorwaardelike aminosure, aan die ander kant, is dié wat oor die algemeen nie noodsaaklik is nie, behalwe in tye van siekte en stres. Voorwaardelike aminosure sluit in: arginien, sisteïen, glutamien, tirosien, glisien, ornitien, prolien en serien.
Dit is nie nodig om essensiële en nie-essensiële aminosure by elke maaltyd in te neem nie. Dit is egter belangrik om hul balans deur die dag te behou. In hierdie verband is 'n dieet gebaseer op 'n enkele plantstof nie voldoende nie.
'n Metode wat soutsuurhidrolise gebruik, is sedert die 1950's vir aminosuurontleding gebruik. In hierdie metode word proteïene en peptiede tot komponentaminosure gehidroliseer, wat dan deur hoëprestasie vloeistofchromatografie (HPLC) geskei word en deur UV of fluorometrie opgespoor word. Nuwe tegnologieë laat ontledings toe om meer sensitief te wees en minder monsters om te ontleed. Dis goed om dit te ontleed- maar weereens gaan hierdie toetse nnet die simptoom aanspreek en nie die oorsaak - Moenie te opgewonde raak nie.

Volgens Statistieke Suid-Afrika se verslag oor die Maatskaplike Profiel van Ouer Mense 2011-2015, maak bejaarde mense 8,1% van die bevolking uit. Die proporsie ouer mense in die bevolking het toegeneem van 7,3% in 2001 tot 8,1% in 2016. Die risiko van nie-oordraagbare siektes onder bejaardes, soos hoë bloeddruk, diabetes, beroertes en hartsiektes, is aan die toeneem in Suid-Afrika. Bejaardes (mense ouer as 60 jaar) is gewoonlik afhankliker van gesondheidsorgdienste as die res van die bevolking. As wanvoeding in daardie groep voorkom, sal die siekte- en sterftekoers waarskynlik styg. Energie- en proteïentekorte lei tot veranderinge in die liggaamsamestelling en -funksies, soos verswakte spierfunksie, ʼn laer beenmassa, stadiger wondheling, verminderde kognitiewe en immuunfunksie en anemie. Daar is ʼn tekort aan nasionale data oor die voedingsinname van die bejaarde bevolking in Suid-Afrika. Bejaardes word oor die algemeen as ʼn hoërisikogroep vir voedingstekorte beskou, maar min is oor hul dieet bekend.

Die regte manier. Ons lewe in 2024- en baie dinge is verkeerd aan oorgedra in die verlede deur 'n sisteem wat ons wil beheer en beheer en uit ons liggame wil geld maak. Dankie vir al die positiewe reaksie en opmerkings- ons wil jou gesond sien
Hallo Johan, ek wou nog vir jou se - my hande het in die afgelope 6 jaar konstant gepyn van die osteo arthritis, soms so erg dat dit gevoel ht of ek koorsig was. Ek het op Exinef 90 mg geleef en soms vir dae die 120mg gebruik. Vandat ek jou pille begin gebruik is my hande nooit meer seer of inflamend nie. My duime is soms so bietjie seer maar nie eens genoeg om 'n exinef te drink nie. Dis amazing en kan dit nie glo nie!!!!!!! BAIE BAIE BAIE DANKIE!!!!!!Santie
