Not overweight but unhealthy

Hi, I am worried about the eating habits of my father and wondered what advice you could give me to help him lead a more healthy lifestyle. He is 58 and single. He cooks for himself and rarely goes to much trouble. He has coeliac disease so is limited on what he can eat so plays it safe most days. F...

Re: Heart bypass patient with arthritis

Thank you for your reply. She definitely doesn't over eat. I spend quite a lot of time with her and it worries most of the family how little she manages to eat some days. I will suggest a food diary to her though, thank you. She cannot manage to do much housework although she cooks and washes up for...

Heart bypass patient with arthritis

Hi, I am asking this question on behalf of my grandmother. She is 84 and over the last 3-4 years has undergone a triple heart bypass and a hip replacement.

Re: depo provera and weight gain???

Good luck, i hope you lose your added weight quickly. Please don't be disheartened if it takes you a long time like it has with me. You will get there. Looking back the injection was too good to be true, it was bound to have a negative impact! Too convenient and easy!

Getting there

I weighed myself this weekend and found that i have lost 4lbs. I am thrilled with this but would like to point out that this is over the last month and it has actually taken me about 2 years to lose about a stone and a half. I still have half a stone left before i reach my target weight and BMI. I a...

Re: Allergy but to what?

Thank you for your reply. I don't get eye symptoms, it is just my nose although this does sometimes cause throat problems but i think that is where i can't breath properly at night so must sleep with my mouth open which dries my throat out. It also seems to affect my asthma. My asthma is very mild b...

Re: depo provera and weight gain???

Hi, When i was 18 i went travelling for a couple of months. I figured rather than take pills with me i would swap to depo. I spoke to my doctor who agreed and i started it a while before i left so i could have a couple of shots before leaving to make sure everything was ok. Before taking depo i was ...

Eucalyptus for asthma

Hi,

I have heard that eucalyptus can help relieve the symptoms of asthma, is this true and if so how would this be done? I am assuming it would be like olbus oil and put a few drops on a tissue or in hot water and inhale the steam.

I like the idea of natural remedies to help where possible.

Thanks
