What You Put in Your Body Affects Your Health Greatly

I have always been one of those people who could eat whatever they wanted and never gain weight, and due to that fact, I never used to put much thought into what I ate. When I started experiencing health problems, my doctor ordered some tests and found that I was experiencing anemia due to an iron-deficient diet. I am grateful I had this "wake up call" before I continued to eat a bad diet for the rest of my life, because I soon also realized my diet was lacking vitamins and minerals. I changed my eating habits and began to feel much better. I began juicing to take advantage of all of the vitamins and minerals in healthy, fresh juice. I have learned a lot about health during my commitment to leading a healthier lifestyle, so I decided to start a blog to share my health advice with the world!

Newly Diagnosed With Grand Mal Seizures? Two Tips To Help You Stay Safe

If you have been diagnosed with grand mal seizures, you need to take some steps to help you stay safe while you are having a seizure. This is especially true if you have seizures that are not completely controlled by medications. Below are two things you should consider doing.

Use a Seizure Response Dog

When you have a seizure and it is in public this is a very dangerous situation for you to be in. To help in a situation like this, you can get a seizure response dog. This type of dog is trained do certain tasks while you are having a seizure and after the seizure is over. This may include rolling you over on your side to keep your airway open, alerting other people by barking, blocking you from intersections and stairs, and helping you rise to a standing position when the seizure is over. The dog may lay on your or next to you to provide you with comfort during the seizure.

No breed is better than another when it comes to a seizure response dog. If you already have a dog, it may be able to be trained to do this. The trainer will know within a day or two if it has this ability. If not, they will train a dog that will work better for you. If you hire a trainer, it is important that they are experienced in training seizure response dogs to ensure your dog will keep you safe.  

Make Your House Safer

You need to make some changes to your home to keep you safer during a seizure. If you have rooms in your home that have hardwood or tile floors, consider carpeting these rooms, as it would be safer for you to fall on carpet than a hard surface. Of course, carpet would not work well in a kitchen but you could put throw rugs on the floor.

Because you may not have controlled seizures, you should never be left alone in the room while there is a fire going even if there is a screen. If you use a space heater in your home, make sure the one that you have cannot be tipped over.

If you have young children, block stairs with a safety gate. Put a safety gate for any room you do not want them to have access to in case you have a seizure when you are alone with them.
