There is a close connection between these two conditions, and each parent should be familiar with the most common risk factors, when it comes to both vitamin D deficiency and rickets.</p><p>Vitamin D deficiency is the primary cause of rickets. What is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickets">rickets</a>? We can describe this condition as bone softening, which leads to deformities. These deformities can be extremely difficult to treat. Other contributing factors, beside vitamin D deficiency, include magnesium deficiency, and low levels of phosphorus and calcium in blood.</p><p>What Are the Symptoms of Rickets?</p><p>● Deformities of pelvis</p><p>● Low calcium levels</p><p>● Skeletal deformities</p><p>● Growth problems</p><p>● Deformities of spine</p><p>● Harrison’s groove</p><p>● Weak bones</p><p>● Muscle weakness</p><p>● Pain in bones</p><p>● Dental problems</p><p>● Soft skull</p><p>The symptoms may vary, depending on how young a child is.</p><h2>How to Prevent Rickets and Vitamin D Deficiency</h2><p> </p><p>Rickets is believed to affect infants and young children who live in poor countries, but several studies have proved that poverty is not the primary cause of low levels of vitamin D. Let us explain this. Poverty is usually related to malnutrition, and malnutrition can lead to vitamin D deficiency. This is only partially true.</p><p>Vitamin D is contained in certain animal-derived foods, but these amounts are certainly insufficient to fulfill a child’s daily requirements for vitamin D. Rickets are common in children who live in developed countries as well. Babies who exclusively feed on breast milk are at high risk of becoming deficient in vitamin D. This increases the risk of rickets. If you feed your baby with breast milk, this will be healthy for both of you, but keep in mind that breast milk does not contain sufficient quantities of vitamin D.</p><p>Talk to your doctor about including formula milk in your baby’s diet. This does not mean that formula should replace your breast milk. Learn how to combine these properly, and your baby will be healthy.</p><p>Rickets is caused by low levels of vitamin D; therefore, it is important to know how to prevent deficiency. If your child’s vitamin D levels are normal, he won’t be at risk of developing any bone-related problems.</p><p>Talk to your doctor about vitamin D supplements and sun exposure. If your baby is too young, you should be very careful when taking him out. Do not spend too much time in the sun, if it is too hot outside.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/prevention-of-rickets-and-vitamin-d-deficiency/">Prevention of Rickets and Vitamin D Deficiency</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com">Easy Health Care Tips</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>What Makes A Perfect Smile?</title> <link>https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/what-makes-a-perfect-smile/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[eht_admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:05:40 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Health Tips]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cosmetic dentist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dental health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[good dental hygiene]]></category> <category><![CDATA[professional dental treatments]]></category> <category><![CDATA[teeth whitening]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/?p=816</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Body language is a significant part of how we communicate as humans.

You can deduce so much about how someone feels from the way they hold themselves and what they do with their body or facial expressions. When we look at these body languages, they can sometimes be difficult to read, but that isn’t the case for your smile. This simple, almost involuntary reaction instantly conveys a sense of happiness, comfort and pleasure with nothing more than the widening of your mouth.</p><p>A smile is such an important expression that should be on display whenever possible. However, unfortunately, many people are not happy with their smiles which stops them from expressing themselves. In fact, <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/teeth-unhappy-stress-dentist-work-personal-life-finance-relationships-a8709411.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">half of all Britons surveyed</a> revealed that they are not happy with their teeth, which holds them back in life. Although a perfect smile is entirely subjective, we look at what makes a perfect smile and what you can do to get it.</p><h2>Practice Makes Perfect</h2><p>Okay, so even if you have perfect dental health and your teeth are whiter than white, it can be the case that you just don’t like the way you look when you smile. This is where practise can make perfect.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/how-should-perfect-teeth-look-like/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em><strong>How Should Perfect Teeth Look Like?</strong></em></a></p><p>Next time you have a minute, why not stand in front of the mirror and practise a few different smile techniques? By simply adjusting your eyes and practising your toothy grin or closed-lip “smize”, you might find something you like.</p><h2>Look After Your Smile</h2><p>Whether you like your smile or you don’t, it is vitally important to look after your teeth and gums with <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-body/take-care-of-your-teeth-and-gums/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">good dental hygiene</a>. Make sure that you brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to prevent any plaque build-up. Also, floss daily to ensure that you remove any stubborn bits of food, plaque or debris that could be stuck between your teeth.</p><p>Although taking good care of your teeth is enormously important, it won’t work without taking care of your lifestyle. Try limiting the number of sugary foods and drinks you consume and cut out tobacco completely to ensure the best dental health (and general health) possible.</p><h2>Whiter Teeth</h2><p><a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0042178" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research</a> shows that whiter toothed smiles are more attractive than duller or discoloured grins. This might explain why teeth whitening has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the UK. Teeth whitening can be carried out at home with at-home whitening kits that range in price and effectiveness, or there are professional dental treatments that can remove any staining or discolouration and leave you with newfound confidence when it comes to flashing a smile.</p><h2>Visit A Cosmetic Dentist</h2><p>Although there are ways to look after your smile and feel better about your dental aesthetics, some people may want to go a step further when it comes to getting their dream smile. At your <a href="https://smilestories.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cosmetic dentist</a>, they will be able to tell you which treatments are required to give you the dream smile.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/causes-and-tips-to-prevent-yellow-teeth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em><strong>Causes And Tips To Prevent Yellow Teeth</strong></em></a></p><p>A cosmetic dentist can combine treatments such as Invisalign, teeth whitening, composite bonding, white spot removal and others to straighten, brighten and mould your teeth until you have the perfect smile.</p><h2>Inner Confidence</h2><p>Although we all want a whiter, straighter, more symmetrical smile, other factors make a smile “perfect”. Even the most so-called “perfect smile” cannot compete with authenticity. Only when you feel comfortable and confident inside can it be genuinely expressed on the outside. Try to find a way to love your imperfections and smile, and others will do the same.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/what-makes-a-perfect-smile/">What Makes A Perfect Smile?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com">Easy Health Care Tips</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>A Beginners Guide to IVF</title> <link>https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/a-beginners-guide-to-ivf/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[eht_admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2025 08:53:38 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Women Health]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/?p=1073</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) is one of the most well-known forms of assisted reproductive technology (ART).

For many individuals and couples facing fertility challenges, IVF offers hope and a possible pathway to parenthood. If you’re just beginning to explore this journey, it can feel overwhelming — but understanding the basics can help ease the process.</p><h2><b>What is IVF?</b></h2><p>IVF stands for <b>in-vitro fertilisation</b>, which literally means “fertilisation in glass.” In simple terms, IVF involves combining eggs and sperm outside the body in a laboratory. Once an embryo has formed, it is then transferred into the uterus with the goal of establishing a pregnancy.</p><p>This <a href="https://www.conceptfertility.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fertility clinic</a> suggests that IVF can be used with your own eggs and sperm or those from donors. It may also involve a surrogate in some cases. The process is used by couples facing infertility, same-sex couples, and single individuals who wish to conceive.</p><h2><b>When is IVF Recommended?</b></h2><p>IVF may be recommended if:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li aria-level="1">You’ve been trying to conceive for over a year without success</li></ul></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1">You have conditions such as <b>endometriosis</b>, <b>polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)</b>, or <b>blocked fallopian tubes</b></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1">Your partner has a low sperm count or reduced sperm motility</li><li aria-level="1">You’ve had multiple miscarriages</li><li aria-level="1">You’re using donated eggs, sperm, or embryos</li><li aria-level="1">You’re preserving fertility before undergoing medical treatments (e.g. chemotherapy)</li></ul><h2><b>The IVF Process Step by Step</b></h2><p>Understanding the stages of IVF can help you feel more prepared:</p><ol><li aria-level="1"><b>Ovarian Stimulation</b>: Fertility medication is used to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs rather than the single egg that normally develops each month.</li><li aria-level="1"><b>Egg Collection</b>: A minor surgical procedure is carried out to collect eggs from your ovaries.</li><li aria-level="1"><b>Fertilisation</b>: The eggs are mixed with sperm in a lab. If fertilisation is successful, the result is one or more embryos.</li><li aria-level="1"><b>Embryo Culture</b>: The embryos are monitored over a few days to assess their development.</li><li aria-level="1"><b>Embryo Transfer</b>: One or more healthy embryos are transferred into your uterus.</li><li aria-level="1"><b>Pregnancy Test</b>: After about two weeks, a blood test will confirm whether implantation has occurred and pregnancy has begun.</li></ol><h2><b>What are the Success Rates?</b></h2><p>Success rates vary depending on several factors, including age, cause of infertility, and the clinic itself. According to the <b>Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA)</b>, women under 35 have the highest success rates, with around 32% of IVF cycles resulting in a live birth in the UK. These rates decline with age, particularly after age 40.</p><h2><b>Things to Consider</b></h2><p>IVF can be physically, emotionally, and financially demanding. It’s important to:</p><ul><li aria-level="1">Have realistic expectations</li><li aria-level="1">Seek support from professionals or support groups</li><li aria-level="1">Be prepared for more than one cycle if needed</li><li aria-level="1">Understand the legal and ethical aspects, especially if using donors or surrogates</li></ul><p>IVF has helped millions of people around the world start or expand their families. If you’re considering IVF, speak with your GP or a fertility specialist to understand your options and what’s right for you. With the right guidance and support, IVF could be the beginning of a life-changing journey.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/a-beginners-guide-to-ivf/">A Beginners Guide to IVF</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com">Easy Health Care Tips</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How to Remove Dead Skin from Feet</title> <link>https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/how-to-remove-dead-skin-from-feet/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[eht_admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 26 Apr 2025 09:35:12 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Beauty]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Health Tips]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.easyhealthcaretips.com/?p=504</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Are you constantly troubled with dead skin on your feet?

It is also known to treat many skin problems and health issues including diabetes.</p><p>While there are no vitamins or minerals in this vinegar, but, its acetic acid concentration along with the presence of various antioxidants and amino acids make it exceedingly beneficial. The acetic acid gives this vinegar a distinctive flavor and smell.</p><p>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_cider_vinegar">apple cider vinegar</a> uses and benefits majorly come from its ability to kill the “bad bacteria” while fostering the growth of the good bacteria in the body. As it kills the bad bacteria as soon as it comes in contact with it, the apple cider vinegar acts as a natural antibiotic.</p><p>The powerful healing compounds present in the apple cider vinegar include the probiotics, enzymes, acetic acid and the traces of magnesium and potassium.</p><p>Owing to the benefits of apple cider vinegar, it has been used as a proven remedy for many centuries.

The maximum that you can put in a glass of water is two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.</p><p>Our esophagus is not designed to withstand the concentrated acid, and swallowing it directly may make you unintentionally inhale some acid, which after reaching the lungs may make you feel as if they are sunburnt.</p><p>Also, don’t consume too much of the acid as it may harm your organs and can have toxic effects on the body. More than two tablespoons a day is not recommended.</p><h2><span id="Benefits_Of_Apple_Cider_Vinegar"><strong>Benefits Of Apple Cider Vinegar</strong></span></h2><h3><span id="1_Reduces_Bloating"><strong>1.

This is why it’s vital to include high protein foods in our diet.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_(nutrient)">Protein</a> helps in repairing cells and make new ones in the body. Also, the enzymes, hormones and many other chemicals in the body which perform a broad range of vital life functions are comprised of proteins.</p><p>Just like fats and carbohydrates, proteins are regarded as the macronutrients, which implies that we need proteins in large amounts to stay healthy. But, unlike the carbs and fats, proteins are not stored in our body and that’s why there is no place from where these can be extracted when our body is running low on proteins.</p><p>Since proteins are not stored in the body, these are required on a regular basis and hence, you need to include the right amount of foods <strong><a href="https://www.calibrecontrol.com/news-blog/2019/7/19/options-to-test-grain-protein-in-field" target="_blank" rel="noopener">test for protein</a></strong> in your diet every day to satisfy our daily need.</p><p>To provide our body the apt amount of proteins, you can either choose the natural sources of proteins or can indulge with the protein supplements like whey protein etc.</p><h2><span id="Functions_Performed_By_Protein_In_Our_Body">Functions Performed By Protein In Our Body</span></h2><p>Proteins perform an array of vital functions in our body. Almost every function performed by our cells, organs and the body is highly controlled by the proteins. The major functions performed by these macro nutrients include:</p><ul><li>Proteins are a part of our DNA, and these combine with the nucleic acids to form the nucleoproteins and reside in the nucleus of all the cells that we have in our body. These can create the new cells and help in repairing the damaged ones.</li><li>Proteins are responsible for ensuring that our enzymes perform their tasks efficiently like breaking down of the food, regulating the nutrients entry through the cell walls, and the removal of the waste substances from the body.</li><li>Protein is the main building block of muscles, and the main proteins present in the muscle fibers include elastin and myoglobin.</li><li>Protein is majorly responsible for the formation of bones and muscles.</li><li>Protein can be found in blood in the form of hemoglobin which is responsible for carrying throughout the body.</li><li>Protein facilitates speedy recovery after exercise and helps in reducing the muscle loss</li><li>Proteins help in the formation of the antibodies which are present in our blood to fight infections and attack viruses.</li><li>Protein is also a vital part of the hormones which are responsible for regulating metabolism and sending chemical messages to the nerve cells.</li><li>Proteins play a very important role in regulating metabolism because all the enzymes, which trigger the chemical reactions for the breakdown of the food are proteins. In the absence of proteins, our body will not be able to perform metabolism.</li><li>The keratin which forms our nails and hair is also a protein.</li></ul><h2><span id="Composition_of_Proteins">Composition of Proteins</span></h2><p>Proteins are comprised of amino acids, which are present in long chains, and these chains are strung together by the chemical bonds. There are up to 50,000 different types of proteins in our body.</p><p>These different types are characterized by the size of the amino acid chains. For instance, insulin is one of the proteins whose chain is just 51 amino acids long, whereas there are some types of proteins whose chain is up to 400 amino acids long.</p><p>Amino acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, and are the primary molecules which provide our body the required nitrogen. There are three types of amino acids:</p><h3>Essential Amino Acids</h3><p>These cannot be made inside the body and thus, must be supplied through the food and should not be eaten just with one meal. One should eat essential amino acids rich food throughout the day to ensure consistent supply to the body.</p><h3>Non-Essential Amino Acids</h3><p>These are formed by the body during the normal breakdown of proteins during digestion or can be made from the essential amino acids.</p><h3>Conditional Amino Acids</h3><p>These are required only occasionally, like during illnesses to recover the body or to cope up with stress.</p><h2><span id="What_Happens_When_We_Eat_Proteins">What Happens When We Eat Proteins?</span></h2><p>When we eat proteins, they are broken down into smaller amino acids by the digestive enzymes (which also are proteins). The “very small chains” of amino acid are called peptides.</p><p>The broken amino acids and peptides are absorbed into our bloodstream and are delivered safely to the different parts of the body and the organs which need them. These are also used by cells to release energy or to form the other proteins.</p><p>When being transferred to the different body parts, most of the proteins are first delivered to the liver, which makes the new proteins from these amino acids and peptides, and uses the extra proteins to fuel up the metabolism.</p><h2><span id="How_Much_Protein_Do_We_Need">How Much Protein Do We Need?</span></h2><p>Depending on our body weight, our protein requirement varies. Also, the protein requirement of men is higher than that of the women.</p><p>We need 0.5 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of our body weight. This implies that a person with 50 Kg weight would need between 25 – 75 grams of protein.</p><p>If you live a regular life and don’t indulge in strenuous physical activities, you would need 0.5 – 0.8 grams proteins per kilogram of your weight, but, if you indulge in high-intensity physical training or are an athlete who practices or several hours day, your requirement would vary from 1 – 1.5 grams of protein.</p><h2><span id="Sources_of_Protein-Rich_Foods">Sources of Protein-Rich Foods</span></h2><p>Here are the top dietary sources of proteins which you can eat to get to satisfy your daily protein requirement.</p><h3><span id="1_Milk">1.
