If you are 65 or over, it is important to spend most of your time in a warm environment during the winter months. There are a number of things you can do to cope in cold weather.
Keep your main living room at around 18-21°C (65-70°F) and the rest of the house at least 16°C (61°F). If you can't heat all the rooms you use, heat the living room during the day and the bedroom just before you go to sleep.
Make sure you are receiving any benefits you are entitled to, such as the Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payment.
Regular hot drinks and eating at least one hot meal a day will help keep energy levels up during winter and keep your body warm.
Finally, make sure you get the seasonal flu jab. While not 100% guaranteed, it should reduce your vulnerability to infection...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

Medical and surgical management of chronic pelvic pain :: Abstract: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects over 1 million women in the UK, with subsequent impact on ability to work and the economy. It is often debilitating and can be difficult to treat. Gynaecologists have traditionally focussed on the organ-specific approach to the diagnosis of pain.

However, as many as 55% of women presenting with CPP will have no obvious underlying pathology following completion of all investigations.This review focuses on the appropriate investigations, diagnosis and management of women with identified pathological causes of pelvic pain. It also considers the holistic approach to the manag...

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:• Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).• E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...
