While physical workout, meditation and self-mental observation are the most common mixture for those who believe in the “holy trinity” of mind-body-spirit, the stepping stones for a truthful connection begin in our stomach. A well balanced diet, consisting mostly of fruits and vegetables. Nutrition holds the key to the corridor that will take our spirit, mind and body to that balanced Paradise where sickness is a myth and stamina and happiness is the state of being.The reason i can make such a declaration is based on the understanding that as humans we all share a few basic needs. Here are a few of them:
the need to breath
the need to eat
the need to drink
the need to multiply
the need for shelter
the need for love
In this modern age we live in, it is pretty easy to change what we drink. Fresh water is available, and a million products we mistakenly call “drinks” and devour are also, unfortunately, available. Multiplying is nothing to worry about, as there are so many people on the planet, and so many ways to meet a partner, adopt, or have a child without a partner (well, the females can..). Shelter is mostly available for all of us who are able to read these lines, and that leaves us with love and food.Love is a state of being, and the sheet is to short to go deeply into such a subject here. Let us just declare it is not an “achievable” state of being, as it is always there, and cannot be gained or lost. Love is us, what we are made of. But i do not want to get to deep into this subject now, as nutrition, or actually a vegetables based diet, is the real subject in hand.A very important fact we need to remember about food is that while being so available in such vast quantities, we actually need very little of it. If we have some breathing issue for example, it is usually very difficult to leave everything and move to a different city or region where the air suits our needs, whether it has more or less moist in it, less pollution, and so on and so forth.Changing our drink is also usually hard, as we call many things “drinks”, and there are pretty addictive, while the only real drink we have is water, which is the most addictive of them all, due to the reason our body recognizes itself in the water we drink, as we are almost completely made out of water. All the soft “drinks” are hard to quit, and i am not even mentioning coffee or tea.Shelter is also a tough one to change. Moving into a new home is not easy, and not always an available option, and many times we end up in a building where the neighbors are not exactly our cup of tea, or the surroundings are not the right type for our character.All these issues effects our mind-body-spirit connection and arrest our development. Eating a lot, more then we need, will consume our energy. Eating the wrong food, in the wrong combination will do just the same. The same result will come from eating at the wrong time and the wrong state of mind, using food to sooth our painful souls.While a simple change in our diet will allow our body to have the energy it needs to deal with the rest of the issues of life. The focus can be then taken out from the very demanding digestion and put to the right use. The change can be felt within a couple of days, and sometimes, for the more aware people, within one meal. Try it, and make a change to a diet consisting of mostly grain, fruits and fresh vegetables.Nutrition is a tool in our hands to be harnessed the right way for the best benefits. Let us use our toolbox wisely, taking out the right tool for the job.

Charcot’s foot is one of the many problems which might occur in those with diabetes mellitus. The higher blood sugar levels that stem from all forms of diabetes have an affect on numerous body systems including the eyesight, renal system as well as nerves. In long standing cases, particularly if there has been an unsatisfactory control of the blood sugar levels, you can find problems with the nerves supplying the feet. This will make the feet in danger of issues as if something fails, you don’t know it has gone wrong as you can not really feel it due to the harm to the nerves. This might be something as simple as standing on a rusty nail and that getting contaminated and you are not aware that you’ve stood on the nail. Should it be a blister or ingrown toenail which gets infected and you do not know that it is present on the foot unless you have a look. This is why foot care can be so necessary for those with diabetes and why it will be provided a great deal of emphasis. A Charcot foot is the destruction occurring to the bones and joints if you have an injury and you do not know that the injury has happened.

A way of looking at it could be to consider this way: pretend that you sprain your ankle horribly and you also are not aware that you have simply because you do not experience the pain from it. You then carry on and walk around on it. Picture all of the additional harm which you do by walking about on it. The earliest you may possibly discover that there may be something wrong happens when you take a seat and look at the feet and you observe that one is a great deal more swollen compared to the other foot. This is exactly what occurs in individuals with diabetes who develop a Charcot’s foot. There may be some destruction, such as a sprained ankle or maybe a progressive failure of the arch of the foot and as no pain is sensed they carry on and walk around on it. It should be apparent simply how much more injury that gets done to the original injury prior to the problem is finally observed because of the swelling. At times there is not much swelling, but the Charcot’s foot is picked up from the difference in temperature between the two feet as a result of inflammation related process in the damaged foot that generates more warmth.

The development of a Charcot foot really needs to be dealt with as a bit of an urgent situation since the further it advances the much more serious it’s going to be and the more challenging it can be to handle. The individual definitely needs to quit all weightbearing without delay or at least obtain a walking support so that the damage is protected. For the not too major instances and those conditions which were serious and have improved a really supportive orthotic in the footwear is required to support the feet and the injuries. Sometimes surgical procedures are required to straighten the subluxed and dislocated bones. By far the most critical situations can end up with the foot and/or leg required to be amputated as the trauma has been doing an excessive amount of impairment.
