Many countries in North Africa, Asia, and South America still caught between archaic tradition and modernity. In advanced countries the progress in womens position have different perceptions but still discriminate among women. To see the truth about these perceptions, look at percentages of women in administrative and managerial leadership position, and wages. In these countries, women always find themselves in a state of dependency, or let us say submission in some countries, and sharing under democratic systems. This is true in many countries where womens rights are significantly developed, but where men are still heads of families and departments of the important decision making positions in social, political and economic spheres.

In most cultures, women are used to being placed in the background. A second to man, especially in systems founded on gender differentiation, where men mainly have social, economic, political and sexual privileges. In other words they have power over women, women being confined to the private sphere, to easily broken personality, emotionally and intellectually. Men keeping for themselves the noble sphere of public life to have responsibility to feed and control them. This remains the case in most societies despite some progress towards womens rights to participate in social and political affairs. The situation may be, of North African and the Middle East for instance, inspite of developing women issues in a positive way in the last few decades. Since their declarations of independence, proclaimed in the second half of last centutury, Some countries have adopted positive legal texts in favour of women. Legislation recognises rights equally to women and men in theory, and there is, at the legal level, which is understood partly of no discrimination between sexes. Because in practice, discriminatory texts still exist, the reality of women position did not change much. Taking into consideration the low level of literacy among women which sometimes reach 70% promotes that position negaitively.

In most Arab and Muslim societies women, especially Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria and Morocco, cultural systems remain in inferior situations. Thus, we can say that Arab and Muslim societies, trapped between the ways of life and customs of archaism in one side, and modernity in the other toward women, where ambiguity and injustice are practiced widely. The position of women in the society and in mentalities remains anachronistic, since the initial principle remains that women depend on men, in what the Muslim societies know that al-Rijalu Qawwamuna ala al-Nisa . Interpretation of such saying makes people dogmatic toward women, because they believe that God does not lie. And Quran is the supreme source of morality. The cultural ways and perceptions toward women among Muslim and most Arab societies still find sources for backward positions, while the objective of such sayings is not the cultural interpretation of the source, but interpretation of people mentalities to deal with women.

In many countries, womens rights are significantly developed according to social change and progressive political systems, but some inequalities between men and women encouraged to survive. The women, in the region, like all women on earth are discriminated against, with different levels of discrimination, where women take half a mans share of an inheritance according to Islam, and have less managerial and administrative in the advanced societies. In addition to sexual exploitation of women. In Many of both advanced and developing societies, verbal repudiation in divorce (talaq) and polygamy or separation and having more than one girlfriend are maintained.

Among different factors determining identities and belongings of each individual, religion has a significant role. We must consider what the weight and influence of religious ideologies may be on the participation of Muslim women in political life and decision making. Certain other questions may apply: for instance, to what extent do reforms introduced in legal texts and especially in family codes of the these countries translate to a larger participation of women in political life? What is the position of Islamist parties towards the involvement of women in social and political bodies? And finally, what is the role of the political system dealing with these issues? The answer to these questions needs establishing factors to change mens perceptions before accepting women as a more than half of the society everywhere, Because as one put it, women constitue half of the society and teach the other half. Thus the need cries for free-thinkers depend only on reason to find facts rather than emotions which the Arab and Muslim world still swimming in. The world is in serious need to distinguish between the needs of women and wishes of men or vise versa, in every society on earth to curb such discrimination. (783 words) www.askdryahya.com

Have you ever felt your heart to be pumping so hard especially when you are at the height of extreme emotions like anger or happiness? Have you ever felt a sudden rush of blood when you are nervous or excited? Are these conditions related to hypertension?

What is Hypertension?

Commonly referred to as high blood pressure, hypertension is a medical condition characterized by the elevation of blood pressure. There are different kinds of hypertension but the most common is the arterial hypertension. This condition could also be classified into two – essential and secondary.

Essential hypertension refers to the condition when there is no specific medical cause that could explain the occurrence. On the other hand, secondary hypertension is caused by secondary conditions like kidney malfunctions or adrenal tumors. When not treated immediately, this condition could become persistent and could cause a lot of other ailments especially those that concern the heart. It has known to be the common risk strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and arterial aneurysm. It is also said to be the leading cause of chronic renal failure. As an effect of hypertension, a person who frequently suffers such is known to have lesser life expectancy.

Though medicine poses specific ranges of blood pressure that are considered to be at the level of hypertension, the condition is still relative to a person. Sometimes, hypertension is dependent on how a patient can sustain certain blood pressures. When the blood pressure rises 50 percent above what is known to be the normal to a person, it already calls for a treatment.

Signs and Symptoms of Hypertension

Hypertension is only determined through a blood pressure measurement equipment and reads the systolic and diastolic of the blood. There is actually no identified sign of hypertension; rather, it varies from one person to another. Some people report to have experienced headaches, fatigue, dizziness, blurring of vision and facial flushing.

One of the misconceptions of hypertension is its association with stress, mental tension and anxiety. These conditions may affect the flow of the blood but those could not alone cause the imbalance condition of the blood flow. However, accelerated hypertension is closely associated with somnolence, confusion, visual disturbances, nausea and vomiting.

Being in a hypertension condition is not permanent; and it could not be severe enough to cause symptoms. Symptoms only surface when signs of end-organ damage are determined or are possible; otherwise, the condition is still considered accelerated hypertension. Malignant hypertension, on the other hand, is caused by increased intracranial pressure. These could be diagnosed through retinal examination.

Another misconception is that hypertension is known to be only experienced with people in old age. However, this condition could also occur in children and teenagers. Obesity in children is known to be a factor of developing the occurrence of such phenomenon. The detection and intervention in childhood hypertension could be determined though early evidence of the development of atherosclerosis. Aside from that, temperature could also affect the condition in children especially that they are in the height of an active lifestyle.

Complications of Hypertension

Hypertension , as mentioned earlier, could cause a lot of complications. Alone, it is not considered as illness since it is temporary. However, this condition increases the risk in developing other health conditions. Complications include cerebrovascular accidents or strokes, heart attack, heart failure, damage to the retina of the eye and renal failure.

Hypertension is also called as High blood pressure. In case of hypertension a person’s blood pressure is considered to be above normal in the arteries.

In primary hypertension the reason for excess blood pressure in not known. There are two types of hypertension called primary and secondary hypertension.

But there is some cause for secondary high blood pressure. Major organs like kidney and heart are affected by this type. In case of chronic hypertension then it may lead to problems like heart attack and stroke.

To a certain extent medicines can reduce the impact of hypertension. But in case the affected person makes any changes to his diet or way of living then they can avoid hypertension.

Kinds of Hypertension

Systole and diastolic blood pressures determines the high blood pressure. When there is a expansion in heart diastolic pressure is recorded. And when again the heart contracts systole pressure is recorded.

In case both the systolic and diastolic readings are high than the normal hypertension readings then the person is said to have hypertension.

Hypertension1, hypertension2 and isolated hypertension are the ways actually hypertension is classified. when the readings of systolic blood pressure is higher and the readings of diastolic blood pressure is lower then that is considered to be isolated systolic hypertension.

old people are affected by this kind of isolated systolic hypertension. Some may have hypertension along with kidney problem and diabetes. Such person’s are need to be treated with utmost care.

When in case if the hypertension does not respond to any kind of treatment then it is called resistive type.

Exercise Hypertension

When it increases to abnormal levels then it is called exercise hypertension. Blood pressure increases to a certain extent when a person exercises.

Exercise hypertension is used by doctors to know whether a person can have high blood pressure when they are idle.

Symptoms of high blood pressure

Brian swells when the small blood vessels are squeezed, this happens due to high blood pressure. In case an individual is having some giddiness, vision problem and vomiting sensation then this person might have high blood pressure. These early symptoms should be treated earlier, if not then it is irreversible.

In case of kids, the symptoms can be lack of energy, headache, uneasy breathing, paralysis in face and nosal bleeding.

Secondary hypertension:

Blood pressure can also be increased by abnormal hormone secretion. This also a major cause of high blood pressure.

Cushing’s syndrome is when a person is too fat and has some purple patches in the lower part of the stomach. When a person has both diabetes and high blood pressure then it is also called as cushing’s syndrome.

Abnormal secretion of hormone is called hyperthyroidism. This can also cause high blood pressure.

Along with these symptoms and other causes present in the individuals physicians conclude upon hypertension and then classify it.

Links between pregnancy and hypertension

When a woman is pregnant it is normal to get hypertension. This kind of hypertension is temporary in nature. But in a few cases it may cause serious side effects like protein content in urine, swelling in whole body etc.

Natural Treatment for Serious Skin Care

Believe it or not, your skin is the biggest organ of the human body. The principle

purpose of your skin is to protect your body from foreign agents. The skin

is the first line of defense against disease and infection. It is also the

skin that gives us protection against the sun.

However, it is also the skin that first betrays the effects of aging. Skin

ailments such as psoriasis or dermatitis can be irritating and make our lives

miserable. While we never needed things like wrinkle creams or moisturizers

when we were younger and our skin more resilient, the fact is that some degree

of skin care is inevitable as we age.

But skin care treatment is also necessary because of factors unrelated to

our aging skin. Dry skin is caused by a number of conditions and therefore

its treatment options will depend on the actual cause. Here are some causes

of dry skin:

Medication Side Effects

As a society, we have increasingly become dependent on medication for things

like high blood pressure, tension headaches, and even depression. Skin care

treatment for dryness may very well be necessary due to some side effect

of your medication for a completely unrelated condition. For this reason,

you always want to monitor any potential skin irritation immediately after

starting any new medication. If you already have dry skin and can’t remember

whether or not it was a problem before starting your medication, you may

need to consult with your physician and discuss an alternative medication

in order to rule out side effects as the cause of your dry skin.

Poor Nutrition

Skin care problems are often the result of poor nutrition. Our bodies require

a delicate balance of nutrients in order to keep everything functioning properly,

especially the skin. Vegetarians and vegans often run into dry skin issues

as a result of not consuming enough animal fats in their diet. A vitamin

B12 deficiency will cause your oil glands (sebaceous glands) to function

improperly, generally leading to acne.

Basically, any attempt to address a skin care issue (be it oily, dry, or even

itchy skin) should begin with a close look at diet. Dermatologists can best

assess potential diet-related skin care problems and recommend corrective

measures to naturally restore skin vitality. However, here are some foods

to avoid where possible in order to keep your skin as healthy as possible:

fried foods (chicken, French fries)

processed sugars

caffeine, coffee, tea, soft drinks

high fat dairy products like milk or cheese (consuming low fat

varieties of milk and cheese may not be great, but they are better for your

skin!)

Now the best thing that you can ingest for improved skin care is water. That’s

right, water. Water naturally removes toxins from your body-so the more you

drink of it, the purer your body will be. Drinking lots of water is especially

good for people with acne problems and it will also help reduce the onset

of wrinkles.

Skin Care Problems Due to Sebaceous Gland Problems

If you have ever been to a dermatologist because of acne problems then you

are probably very familiar with sebaceous glands. Because the skin needs

to be lubricated, it is covered with oil secreting glands known as sebaceous

glands. If these glands become clogged with dirt, then bacteria begin growing

inside and a pimple is the result. However, sebaceous glands can either become

clogged and dry skin is caused or they can produce too much and cause oily

skin. More often than not, problems with the sebaceous glands are due to

poor diet and can usually be corrected rather easily.

Skin Care Problems Due to Diabetes

Believe it or not, even diabetes can cause you serious skin care problems.

A person with diabetes has trouble regulating the blood sugar levels. When

there is an excess of blood sugar in the body, the excess must be absorbed.

To do this, the body uses a lot more water than normal and that can lead

to dry skin.

Skin Care Treatment for Dryness

While diet must always be part of any skin care treatment regimen, it is just

a simple fact that our bodies will need more help as we age. For this reason,

a moisturizer of some sort will ultimately be needed. To this end, it is

HIGHLY recommended that you use a natural skin moisturizer.

Moisturizers using natural ingredients are far less likely to cause the irritating

side effects mentioned earlier. Synthetic ingredients are often less expensive

to use in moisturizers but they are not the best skin care option because

the body is less receptive to them. Natural ingredients, on average, cause

fewer side effects and are therefore better where skin moisturizers are concerned.

Skin Care for Wrinkles

Wrinkles are probably the biggest cause of all skin care treatments in the

United States. As a person ages, the skin naturally becomes less elastic.

As a result, fine lines begin to form on the face which ultimately become

the wrinkles we hate so much. There are two main skin care strategies when

it comes to wrinkles: affect the muscles that reveal the wrinkles or fill

in the skin so the wrinkles are less noticeable. The first strategy involves

Botox and the second Collagen injections.

Botox Skin Care

A person is actually having a strain of Botulism injected in their face when

they opt for Botox skin care treatment. Botox actually interrupts the transmission

of nerve impulses to the muscles that reveal our wrinkles. It may sound radical,

but these injections do actually reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the

face for a significant period of time. Now these injections can be costly

and they must be repeated-but they are generally affective.

Collagen Injection Skin Care

Many people have a serious misperception about collagen injections. The perception

is that collagen is a form of fat that is injected into your face to fill

in the lines caused by wrinkles. Actually, collagen is an effective form

of skin care treatment for wrinkles not because it is fat-but because it

is protein. In fact, collagen is a special protein that helps cells and blood

vessels connect to one another. When this happens, the wrinkles fade because

the collagen helps the skin to “rebuild” in areas where wrinkles

form and actually fill in the lines. Again, collagen treatments tend to work

but they also are expensive and need to be repeated.

Natural Anti-Wrinkle Creams

A cheaper, but slower, alternative to expensive skin care treatments for wrinkles

is a simple cream. Anti-wrinkle creams work to rebuild the skin texture and

helps with the elasticity over time. However, unlike Collagen or Botox injections,

anti-wrinkle cream skin care treatment is only applied to the skin surface.

This is why it takes so much longer. Still, an anti-wrinkle cream is a cost-effective

and non-invasive treatment for wrinkles that does work if given enough time.

Again, in order to reduce possible side effects, stick with creams that use

natural ingredients as they will react better with your skin.
