Are you taking prescribed steroids and putting weight on fast and you're puzzled because you know you are not eating too much?

Have a look at this webpage: Google webpage illustrating Cushing's Syndrome

I hope you are not heading for steroid-induced Cushing's Syndrome...)o:

The trouble is, you have almost certainly not been warned that prescribed steroids cause rapid weight gain, leading to obesity and then to morbid obesity, unless you avoid eating salt and salty food while you are on the steroids. - Read about it here: http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/steroids.html - But if you stop eating salt NOW and keep off it, you can undo some of the harm done and lose weight easily. - IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CUT DOWN ON FOOD - ONLY CUT DOWN ON SALT. The weight gain is from extra water in the bloodstream; this is called fluid retention. It happens because these drugs weaken/relax the walls of the blood vessels, rendering them vulnerable to salt and the water that accompanies it when it is in the bloodstream. Increased blood volume like this is sometimes called hypervolemia.

Connection found between nations' blood pressure and happiness

High blood pressure is strongly associated with salt sensitivity and fluid retention/hypervolemia, and the safest way to prevent it or lessen it is to cut down on salt intake. This will also help with losing excess weight. - See my webpage http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html

Breathlessness.

Do you suffer from breathlessness? - Read on!

There are many many causes of breathlessness, including asthma, COPD, TB, panic attack, etc.

Anyway, here is one cause - hypervolemia - and it is very easy to reduce this cause. Any form of breathlessness would benefit from following the advice for this cause. - Hypervolemia is blood volume higher than normal. When the blood volume is higher than normal it puts a strain on the heart and the heart becomes enlarged and takes up more of the thoracic (chest) cavity, leaving less room for the lungs to expand, so breaths have to be shallower and more frequent - ie breathlessness.

The blood volume becomes higher than normal when a person suffers from sodium and water retention/fluid retention. - You can read about this on http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/(The site does not sell anything and has no banners or ads - just helpful info.)

To lower the blood volume, all that is necessary is to eat less salt/sodium. As well as being less breathless, you will then also lose some excess water from your body/bloodstream and therefore lose weight and be less likely to have a stroke. - Some of the many many health problems which will be remedied or become less severe by reducing salt intake are listed on this webpage: http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html
