MYTHS VS FACTS OF URIC ACID

Myth vs. Fact: The
Truth About Uric Acid 🛑

​There is a lot of "WhatsApp University" advice out there regarding Uric Acid. Let’s clear the air with some facts from Physio Manmeet!

​❌ Myth 1: Only "Old People" get high Uric Acid.

​✅ Fact: While it's more commoas we age, lifestyle factors, diet, and genetics mean even people in their 20s and 30s are now seeing high levels. Early detection is key!

​❌ Myth 2: You must stop eating ALL Dals (Pulses).

​✅ Fact: Not all dals are the same! While you should limit heavy ones like Rajma or Urad, Yellow Moong Dal is generally safe and a good source of protein. Moderation is better than total elimination.

​❌ Myth 3: High Uric Acid only affects the Big Toe.

​✅ Fact: While the big toe is the most common spot (Gout), these crystals can settle in your ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows, causing stiffness and pain.

​❌ Myth 4: Medication is the only way to fix it.

​✅ Fact: Diet, weight management, and Proper Hydration play a massive role. Also, specialized Physiotherapy helps maintain joint mobility so that crystals don't lead to permanent stiffness.

​❌ Myth 5: Tomatoes are the main enemy.

​✅ Fact: Many people fear tomatoes, but they are actually relatively low in purines. Sugary sodas, alcohol (especially beer), and processed fruit juices are much bigger culprits!

VitD an necessary element of our body

Image
ChatGPT  4o mini Vitamin D, often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” is a fat-soluble nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. While it is most widely known for its impact on bone health, its functions extend far beyond that. This vitamin is involved in numerous physiological processes, from immune system regulation to mental well-being and disease prevention. 1.  Bone Health and Calcium Regulation Vitamin D’s primary function is to regulate calcium and phosphorus in the body, which are essential for healthy bones and teeth. It promotes the absorption of calcium in the gut, which ensures that bones remain strong and are less prone to fractures. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to conditions such as rickets in children and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in adults, where bones become brittle and weak. 2.  Immune System Support Vitamin D is crucial for the proper functioning of the immune system. It helps activ...

"Understanding Frozen Shoulder: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatments"

Image
Frozen shoulder, medically known as *adhesive capsulitis*, is a condition that causes stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually and worsens over time before eventually improving, but the process can take months or even years. ### Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder The hallmark of frozen shoulder is the restricted movement in the shoulder joint. The condition generally progresses through three stages: 1. ** Freezing Stage* *: In this stage, the shoulder starts to become painful and stiff. The range of motion decreases, and any shoulder movement causes pain. This phase can last from 6 weeks to 9 months.     2. ** Frozen Stage **: Pain may begin to diminish during this stage, but the stiffness remains. The shoulder becomes more difficult to move, and daily tasks like dressing or lifting become challenging. This phase can last from 4 to 12 months. 3. ** Thawing Stage* *: Gradually, the shoulder’...

Leg Cramps

Image
What Are Leg Cramps? Leg cramps are sudden, intense muscle contractions that can cause sharp pain and tightness in the affected area. These spasms often affect the calf muscles but can also involve the hamstrings or quadriceps. The cramp typically lasts for a few seconds to a couple of minutes, though in some cases, it may persist longer. Nighttime leg cramps (often referred to as "nocturnal leg cramps") are particularly common, waking people from sleep with a sharp, aching pain in their legs. Common Causes of Leg Cramps Dehydration : One of the most common causes of leg cramps is dehydration. When the body is low on fluids, it affects the balance of electrolytes—such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium—that are essential for normal muscle function. This imbalance can lead to muscle cramps. Electrolyte Imbalance : Minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium help muscles contract and relax. An imbalance, often due to poor diet or excessive sweating, ca...
