High Blood Sugar Levels
Can Be Normalized
The glucose levels in the human
blood do increase due to several
factors. Such increments are responsible
for various types of abnormal
behavior of the human body.
This type of disorder has been increasing
due to life style factors
such as food habits, stress levels,
etc. The researchers could not invent
any medicine to cure the disorder
yet!. The transformation of life
style can reverse the disorder.
Consuming unprocessed foods is
one of the most important steps to
control the increasing blood glucose
levels. The dark colored vegetables
are highly helpful. The patients
need to take foods rich in fiber
and proteins. Among the fruits, its
advised to avoid the excessive consumption
of mango, banana, sapota,
etc which do contain excessive
amounts of sugar. The green leafy
vegetables, bitter gourd, brinjal,
etc need to be consumed everyday.
Shifting to the consumption of
brown rice from white rice is vital in
controlling the above said disorder.
Whole wheat bread, oats, cooked
vegetables, boiled eggs, nuts,
salads, etc need to be taken as a
break fast.
The symptoms are variable from
person to person depending upon
several biological factors. But the
general symptoms of high blood
sugar levels include, frequent urination
especially during the nights,
dry mouth, excessive thirst, etc. In
some patients, the symptoms cannot
appear, hence occasional blood
sugar diagnosis is the only way to
know the status of one’s blood
sugar levels. In the initial stages of
the disorder, its ideal to avoid consumption
of any drugs. Physical exercise,
alteration of food habits, etc
can bring the blood sugar levels to
normal range!. But the uncontrolled
high blood sugar levels will damage
several organs such as the eyes,
heart, kidneys, etc. The damage
caused does depend upon several
factors and is variable from person
to person. The rich people can afford
expensive foods such as eggs,
vegetables, fruits, etc.
For the poor people there are some
simple home remedies to control the
increasing blood sugar levels in the
blood. Reduction of weight is one of
the best remedies. obesity is one of
the major causes of several life style
diseases. The neem leaves should
be boiled for about twenty minutes,
and then filtered to be consumed
everyday for about a week depending
upon the sugar levels. Similarly,
fenugreek should be soaked
throughout the night, and can be
taken with empty stomach early in
the morning. Consumption of millets
too is advised. The major remedy is
to transform the life style.

5 Tips To Reduce Sodium In The Diet
Sodium is an essential mineral you must
get from the food you eat in order for
your body to function. Sodium not only
helps in keeping the fluid balance maintained
in the body but it also helps in
nerve and muscle function. The human
body regulates how much sodium it contains
depending upon the levels. If the
sodium levels in the body are too high,
one gets thirsty and drinks water. Along
with that the kidneys speed up the process
of throwing the excess sodium out
of the body. Keeping the intake of sodium
in check should always be a part of
a healthy eating plan as well as weight
loss programs.
What is the difference between
sodium and salt?
Sodium is a component of the common
salt that we consume in foods. Salt is a
chemical compound made up of 40 % of
sodium and 60% of chloride and is by far
the biggest dietary contributor of sodium.
Different varieties of salt are available
but the composition of the salt remains
the same. One teaspoon of salt contains
2300 milligrams of sodium. However, it
is also naturally found in many foods -
although in much lesser amounts than
the foods in which salt is added. Today,
then processed and packaged foods
are largely the contributors of the high
sodium levels in the diet.
How much sodium is needed
by a person?
The American Heart Association recommends
not more than 2300 milligrams
of sodium per day (1 teaspoon of salt).
However, the ideal limit as per them is no
more than 1500 milligrams per day. Most
of us eat more than the recommended
limit. Keeping the intake of sodium within
recommended levels is a part of a balanced
and healthy eating diet.
Why does sodium need to be
restricted?
When there is more sodium than required
by the body, the kidneys flush
the excess by making more urine. When
kidneys are not able to flush out the excess
sodium it accumulates in fluid in
between the cells. Sodium pulls extra
water and increases the volume of the
fluid and blood. As the blood volume
increases the heart has to work harder
and also puts a pressure on the blood
vessels. Over a period of time this can
stiffen the blood vessels leading to hypertension
(high blood pressure), heart
attack, stroke or heart failure. High blood
pressure can also damage the kidneys
leading to kidney failure over a period of
time.
Hypertension has become a lifestyle disease
today. One in three adult Indians
suffers from hypertension today. And
what’s more - even children can develop
it. A sedentary lifestyle with little or no
physical activity coupled with unhealthy
eating patterns are major contributors
for hypertension. Most people today are
unaware that they suffer from hypertension
(a repeatedly elevated blood pressure
130/80 mm of Hg).
How do I cut back on sodium?
To watch your sodium intake here are a
few tips to follow:
Avoid processed and packaged
foods: Canned, processed, and frozen
foods contain high amount of sodium
in them. Avoid sauces, pickles, mayonnaise,
ready to eat soups, canned vegetables,
processed cheese and breads
as these foods contain hidden sodium in
them. Buy unsalted nuts or seeds. Compare
the nutritional labels of the product
you are buying with low sodium content
per serving. If a nutritional label says sodium
free, light sodium, low sodium or
reduced sodium it means the following:
a sodium free food should contain less
than 5 milligrams sodium per serving,
light means 50 percent less sodium than
the regular version, reduced sodium
means 25 percent less sodium than the
regular version. Hence, make it a habit
to read the nutritional labels when purchasing
the food to avoid the high sodium
intake consequences.
Cooking: While preparing or cooking
the food use onions, garlic, lemon juice,
herbs, spices, vinegar in place of extra
salt to enhance the taste of food. Avoid
usage of salt while cooking rice, rotis,
parathas, pasta etc. Grilling, sautéing,
and roasting cooking techniques bring
out the natural flavor of the food and
hence will reduce the need to add salt.
Incorporating potassium rich foods like
bananas, tomatoes, oranges, potatoes
and sweet potatoes, white beans, will
help to reduce the effect of sodium and
also help in reducing the blood pressure.
Be mindful of what you order at restaurants:
At restaurants ask if the dishes
you are ordering can be made using
minimum salt. Request for a salad with
the dressing on the side as the dressings
contain high sodium content. Avoid
foods that contain soy sauce, ketchup,
mustard etc. Do not add extra salt to
the dish you have ordered. While eating
pizza opt for less cheese, pepperoni or
barbeque sauce, etc. Eat pasta with red
sauce and vegetables instead of creamy
cheese, bacon or sausage. In sandwiches,
avoid the filling with cheese, bacon,
ham, mayonnaise etc. Go for vegetable
and avocado based fillings. Avoid eating
Chinese meals as they contain lot of
sodium in them.
Concentrate on fruits and vegetables:
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables as they
are very low in sodium. Avoid canned or
frozen fruits and vegetables. Before buying
the canned variety look for no salt
added version or reduced salt version.
Use the sodium allowance wisely:
Instead of spending your sodium allowance
on salty snacks and heavily processed
foods, use small amounts of salt
to enhance the flavor of foods like whole
grains, legumes, and other healthy ingredients.
Needing the extra salt in your food is
an acquired taste. It takes a few weeks
to get accustomed to eating foods with
less salt in it. Once your taste has been
set for low salt in the food you will find
the fast foods and the processed foods
salty. The above tips may help to reduce
the intake of sodium to prevent the hazardous
outcomes. High salt intake not
only leads to heart problems, high blood
pressure and kidney problems, it also increases
one’s chances of stomach cancer.
High salt intake may increase the
growth of Helicobacter pylori a bacterium
that causes inflammation and stomach
ulcers leading to stomach cancer. A
nutritionist in Mumbai would be the best
person or you may attend the weight
loss program to guide you on your daily
intake of sodium and how to reduce
sodium in your diet as well. If children
are habituated to eating a lot of salt in
the diet a child nutritionist with her counselling
skills would be the best person to
help the child rid of this habit.

Your Financial Checklist of Things to Do When You Retire
You’ve finally made it to retirement
age! Congratulations! Now it’s time to
take a few smart financial steps so you
can relax and enjoy your new-found
freedom!
Your financial checklist of things to
do when you retire
Those early days after retirement can
be much more complicated than you
might have thought. You had the impression
that the day you handed
back the keys to the office would be
filled with carefree exhilaration, but it’s
crucial to have a financial plan to make
sure your later years are going to be as
enjoyable as you always wished them
to be.
Celebrate!
Of course, you deserve to celebrate a
little. Perhaps throw a party for family
and friends and go away for a week
or two’s vacation to do whatever you
want.
But when you’ve finished with all that,
here are a few things you need to do, if
you didn’t do them already before your
last day at work.
Check your pension and make sure
you have all your documents in order
Your steady paychecks have finished
so your main source of income is going
to be your pension payment every
month. Make sure you know exactly
how much you’re going to receive
every month because that’s all there
is and that you have all those important
documents well organized. Any
lump sums you’ve received on retiring
should be stashed away and invested
and not just thrown into the current account
because they have a tendency
to disappear more quickly than you
can imagine! More about how to invest
this money later on.
Find out about all those freebies and
discounts
Depending on which country you live
in, there may be loads of free things or
discounts you can take advantage of.
These may include public transport,
cinema tickets, restaurant meals, museum
entrance fees etc etc. Always
ask before you pay anywhere and always
have your ID with you so you can
prove your age. Find out about certain
days and times when these discounts
apply and make the most of them!
Check your tax situation
In most countries, pensions are taxable
income. Talk to a good tax advisor and
understand how much tax you’re going
to have to pay so you don’t get a nasty
surprise at the end of the tax year.
Check your health insurance and social
security coverage
This is, unfortunately, going to become
increasingly important as you get older.
If you have a good public health
system in your country this might be
enough, but if you need private health
insurance get a good deal now while
you’re still healthy and don’t wait until
you have problems when it’ll cost you
a lot more.
Mortgage
Hopefully, you’ve paid your mortgage
off a long time ago, but if you still have
a mortgage to pay every month, there’s
a temptation to pay it all off when you
retire. However, mortgages are generally
the cheapest loan you have and
the interest you pay is probably deductible
against your pension income,
so it might be an idea to keep your
mortgage going to reduce your taxes.
Check all this out with your tax advisor
before doing anything rash.
Make a budget
If you’ve received a lump sum, it’s
easy to think you’re suddenly rich but
that money is going to have to last you
(hopefully) a long time. Make a budget
based on your regular monthly pension
income and even try to save a bit out
of that every month so you can afford a
few vacations from time to time. Don’t
use your savings for your monthly expenses.
Bear in mind that now you
have more time on your hands you
might find that your monthly expenditure
goes up instead of down. It’s easy
to get into a routine of going out more,
eating out more and just generally
spending more so make a budget and
stick to it.
Investments
This is a much talked-about subject.
Some people swear by investing in
low-risk bonds which might pay about
3-4% a year before tax, or in dividend-oriented
shares which might pay
about the same. Other people say that,
just because you’ve retired, it doesn’t
mean you shouldn’t invest in growth
shares which might not pay a dividend
but which might go up nicely. After all,
most people’s retirement horizon could
be 20-30 years or more. This is a personal
decision but it might be an idea
to have a blend of investments. It can
also be an idea to have a rental property
although as you get older you might
not have the energy or appetite for all
the management that this entails.
Don’t give large amounts of money
to your children
If you’re in your sixties, the chances
are that your children are going
through the most stressful part of their
lives. They probably have a large mortgage,
young children, their careers
are just getting started and they’re
probably short of money. You may be
sitting on a tidy amount of money in the
bank and there’s a big temptation to
be generous. They might even ask you
for money. Be very careful in this respect
because when you get short are
they really going to help you out? The
biggest favor you can do them is to be
financially independent yourself so you
won’t rely on them in the future.
Make your home retirement-friendly
Think ahead and consider down-sizing
to save on your monthly expenses. Perhaps
move to a house with fewer stairs
or to an area where you don’t need a
car. There’s no obligation to keep running
the large family home for the few
occasions when everyone comes to
stay and where you’re still storing your
children’s junk that’s been in the attic
for the last 20 years. If you’re going to
travel more, it’s probably better to live
in an apartment which will be more secure
while you’re away and the costs
will be lower and more predictable every
month.
Start a small business
If you’re in good health, there’s no reason
you can’t start your own small business.
This could be good fun, it’ll keep
you busy and it’ll bring in some extra
income which will always be useful.

DISCOVER THE EXERCISE HORMONE IRISIN
Exciting new research has proven
the existence of a hormone
that seems to increase during exercise
and does amazing things
for our health and metabolism.
Called the “exercise hormone,”
this muscle hormone was discovered
by scientists at Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute. Because
it’s a chemical messenger it was
named Irisin after a messenger
Goddess. Although it’s existence
has been hotly debated in recent
years, Harvard scientists, studying
Irisin announced not long ago
that the “data provided unequivocally
demonstrates that human
Irisin exists.”
Irisin, normally present as part of
a larger protein in the muscles
cell’s outer membrane, lies dormant
and inactive until released.
Exercise, and other factors help
split this protein, releasing Irisin
in the process.
So, now we know that Irisin exists
and we also know that when we
exercise our body makes more
of it.
Why is this important? What
does this hormone act on once
we start pumping blood and
our heart rate goes up?
It seems that the powerhouse hormone
Irisin has the unique ability
to it turn white fat into brown fat.
White fat stores energy (calories)
while brown fat is better for
us because it’s more involved in
burning energy (increases our
metabolism) rather than storing
it. Brown fat intrigues scientists
because it physically resembles
muscle more than fat and plays a
major role in maintaining normal
weight. It also acts and behaves
more like muscle than fat, which
likely explains it’s ability to burn
fat so efficiently.
Slender people have more brown
fat than obese people. Younger
people have more brown fat than
seniors and those with normal
blood sugar levels enjoy the benefits
of more brown fat than people
with high blood sugar.
Obesity, a disorder of fat accumulation,
is a real problem in
the world today. It is the result of
over-eating and under exercising.
Increased Irisin levels help to
increase glucose tolerance and
reduce insulin resistance, suggesting
it may be a real breakthrough
in treating diabetes.
But, the benefits of this new, exciting
“exercise” hormone don’t
stop there. Irisin offers other valuable
benefits, such as triggering
the growth of new brain neurons
and activating genes involved in
memory retention and learning. It
also acts directly on bone, promoting
its formation by increasing
bone mineral density which
in turn helps with Osteoporosis.
All these things are valuable and
contribute to our overall health.
But another, super exciting discovery
swirling around Irisin is
how it affects our telomeres. It
seems that high Irisin levels are
directly associated with lengthening
our telomeres! The longer
our telomeres, (telomere shortening
is a genetic marker of aging)
the younger and healthier
our body is! This translates to us
being less prone to age related
illnesses and diseases such as
cancer, dementia and heart disease.
With so much controversy surrounding
the discovery of Irisin, it
will be a while before the whole
scientific community comes on
board to discover how to harness
the power of this unique
hormone. However, that doesn’t
mean we have to put our health
on hold until then.
If we want to enjoy the benefits of
Irisin - feeling more fabulous and
younger than we currently do, we
must allow this hormone to work
its magic now.
Since we already know that exercise
increases the amount of
Irisin in our bodies, exercising
is the perfect place to start. It is,
without doubt, the best way to
boost our irisin levels. However,
not all exercise is created equal.
Not surprisingly, a recent scientific
discovery published in 2014,
found that high-intensity exercise
increases Irisin levels better
than low-intensity exercise which
means it must challenge the
body to trigger its release.
Researchers have also discovered
that rats that swam daily
but were fed a high-fat diet still
lost weight and suspect it is due
to Irisin. Cold temperatures are
another factor. It seems that the
shivering we do when exposed
to chilly temperatures increases
Irisin, even rivaling the results of
those who exercised regularly.
Irisin is a health-boosting,
fat-burning, sensitizing hormone
empowered to provide us with
many health benefits. It is empowered
to reduce body weight,
boost energy expenditure, and
improve diet-induced insulin resistance.
It’s time to chill down the house,
head to the gym and enjoy
healthy fats. Our health, weight
and longevity will all benefit.

Doing Everything Yourself
Won’t Lead To Success
One of the biggest mistakes many entrepreneurs
make is doing everything themselves.
To solve this, they must hire and
train the right employees, but this is an
expensive venture. The other option is to
outsource and leverage strategic business
partners.
Gaining new customers is one of the reasons
for forming partnerships. But a good
partnership will also give your business
access to new products, a new market,
block competitors and increase customer
loyalty.
The key to building successful partnerships
is to make sure they are built on
trust, commitment, collaboration, and
communication.
Here are five reasons why strategic partnerships
are important for business success
and happiness:
1. Attract New Customers and Expand
Market Coverage
The most popular reason for venturing into
partnerships is access to new customers
and markets. By forming a strategic partnership,
businesses can serve larger territories
without investing more infrastructure
or expanding their distribution network.
For example, a coffee delivery service can
partner with an office supply company to
deliver office supplies on their regular
route in exchange for a presence in the
office supply company’s physical stores.
Both companies will attract new customers
and their market territories will expand
without adding new stores or routes. This
arrangement will offer their customers
more value.
2. Overcome Business Fears
At some point, many entrepreneurs fear
change and they worry about its impact
on their businesses. These changes can
either be market-driven, industry-specific,
or regulatory.
Implementing business solutions with the
help of a strategic partner can help reduce
the impact of changes that might
inhibit your business growth.
3. Strategic Partnerships Offer Your
Business a Competitive Edge
Working with a partner with a win-win approach
can give your business the boost it
needs to beat its competitors. If you work
totally on your own, you risk your company’s
success becoming stagnant. And remember,
a poorly thought-out partnership
can impact your business negatively.
4. Broaden Your Product and Service
Offerings
If you already have an existing customer
base and you’d like to expand your product
line, you benefit by aligning yourself
with a firm that offers complementary
products.
For example, if you offer audio visual services,
you can partner with a company
that provides computer services. Here
each company has its own products, systems,
and suppliers. But they have similar
customer bases. By pooling your resources
together and cross-training service and
sales personnel, you can improve your
product lines with minimal investment.
5. Strengthen Weaker Aspects of Your
Business
It’s clear that the benefits of strategic partnerships
are many and diverse. A meaningful
partnership can strengthen weaker
aspects of your business, enabling you
to grow and expand to an extent which
would have been impossible on your own.
Outsourcing is one of the most cost-efficient
ways to grow your business. It’s how
the biggest and most profitable businesses
in the world generate the wealth and
freedom their owners enjoy.

What Is CBD Oil?
In this article, we are going to find
out what CBD is and how it can
work for your benefit. In June 2018,
The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) allowed the use of CBD oil
for the treatment of 2 types of epilepsy.
So, it can be said that CBD
does work as far as the treatment
of some specific conditions or diseases
is concerned. Let’s find out
more.
What is CBD oil?
CBD is on the list of several compounds
called cannabinoids
found in the cannabis plant. Many
research studies have been done
to find out different therapeutic
uses of this oil.
Basically, CBD oil contains concentrated
form of CBD. However,
it’s important to keep in mind that
the concentrations and their uses
vary. So, you may want to consult
an expert before using CBD for
your condition.
Is CBD marijuana?
In cannabis, the best-known
compound is delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol
aka THC, according
to most reports. And THC is the
most active part of marijuana. As a
matter of fact, marijuana has both
CBD and THC in it. And the effects
of both these compounds vary.
When smoked or used in cooking,
THC imparts a “high” effect. Actually,
THC tends to break down in
heat or when it enters the body.
On the other hand, CBD is not psychoactive,
which means it has no
effect on your state of mind when
consumed.
But CBD can create changes in
your body. In fact, according to
some research studies, it may
have many medical benefits as
well.
Where does it come from?
CBD is obtained from the cannabis
plant. Commonly, cannabis plant
is known as marijuana or hemp
based on the degree of THC. It’s
important to note that legal hemp
plants mustn’t contain more than
0.3% THC, according to Farm Bill.
Marijuana farmers have bred their
hemp plants to produce more THC
and many other compounds. However,
these farmers don’t modify
the plant in any way. These plants
are used to produce CBD oil.
How does it work?
All types of cannabinoids attach
to some specific receptors in your
body to create a special effect.
And the same applies to CBD as
well. Actually, your body produces
some types of cannabinoids automatically.
Also, it has two powerful
receptors for CBD: CB 2 receptors
and CB1 receptors.
As far as CB1 receptors are concerned,
they are found across your
body. However, many are found in
your brain as well. The ones found
in the brain help with memories,
appetite, thinking, mood, emotions,
pain, movement and many
other functions. And these are the
receptors THC attaches to. On the
other hand, CB2 receptors are
quite common in your immunity
system, and they have an impact
on pain and inflammation.
In the past, researchers believed
that CBD2 receptors are the receptors
that CBD attaches to, but
now they know that CBD won’t
attach to any of the receptors. In
fact, it looks like it helps your body
get better use of its own cannabinoids.

Common Startup Mistakes You Must Avoid
Thousands of startups are launched
every year and they do it with enthusiasm
and flair, but there are also plenty
that fail and not with so many reasons.
Almost all of these startups have some
common reasons that contribute to their
failure even before they have picked
up properly. Yes, there are a zillion
things that could go wrong and it is vital
for businesses to avoid falling into
the same trap over and over again. So,
what mistakes should a startup avoid?
Some of the common ones are outlined
below:
Not prepping for it
Would you participate in a competition
without some preparation and practice?
No, you wouldn’t. Then why start
a business this way? You need some
prelaunch training to get you all warmed
up because you have to have skills and
knowledge to get started. Bear in mind
that any startup requires focus, hard
work, concentration and dedication
from its entrepreneurs and you have to
be ready to provide all that instead of
just deciding to jump in.
Mixing a business with products
One of the biggest mistakes that most
startups make is not thinking beyond
the product. They have a product that
can solve a problem and that’s all they
concentrate on. However, if a startup
wishes to survive in the long term, it
needs to offer its customers something
that will have them coming back for it
again and again. Therefore, you need
to think of potential revenue streams
after the product has been purchased
by customers. Think about longevity,
where the business will be in three to
five years, and this will help determine if
there is a business or not.
Not hiring experts
Another major blunder that startups
end up making is taking on everything.
It is not possible for an entrepreneur
to be good at everything. But, it is a
fact that every aspect of the business
needs to be dealt with expertly, especially
in tricky areas such as legal and
tax issues. If anything is structured in
the wrong way, it will eventually come
back to haunt you. Therefore, it is better
to hire experts for dealing with major issues.
It will cost, but it will definitely pay
off in the long run.
Not checking data
Just because you believe you will succeed
doesn’t mean that you actually
win. You actually have to crunch some
numbers, look at the market and do an
analysis to know if you can and will.
There needs to be proper and reliable
data that validates your idea as something
that can be profitable and viable.
When you have collected some data,
you can use it for creating milestones
or key performance indicators to check
exactly how your business is progressing.
Moving too quickly
One of the top reasons that startups fail
is because they simply move too fast. A
number of them are able to raise money
and when they have the cash, it is
spent on the wrong things. By the time
they figure out that it is a mistake, it is
often too late for them. What do they
usually spend on? The funds usually go
towards hiring people or marketing, but
the fact is that neither of these are necessary
for expansion. It is not a good
idea to start spending unless you have
a way to generate more.
Following the wrong idea
A lot of entrepreneurs who enter an
unfamiliar market or first-time entrepreneurs
often make the mistake of following
the wrong idea. They are so focused
on their idea that they don’t realize it is
failing. In this competitive market, you
cannot simply make decisions based
on gut; you have to have evidence to
back it up. You need to see exactly how
a product fits in the market and do an
experiment on what features or changes
attract customers to it.
Considering money the solution
Entrepreneurs who are struggling believe
that raising more capital can solve
their problems, but money is not the
solution for everything. A fundamental
issue cannot be solved with money because
you have to fix the problem first
and then get the money.
As long as these mistakes are avoided,
chances of startups failing are minimized.
Reasons You Should
Get Your Eyes Checked
Eyes aren’t just a window to your
soul, they could also reveal health
problems:
Hard to spot micro-bleeds in the
small vessels of your eyes could be
a sign of impending heart trouble
that only a trip to the eye doctor can
identify. Research shows otherwise
healthy people displaying these micro-bleeds
were 50 percent more
likely to develop an irregular heartbeat
- an early sign of potential heart
disease or stroke risk than those
without the eye issue.
Because your eyes’ vessels are affected
by hypertension or high levels
of inflammation, they can help
experts identify hidden health dangers.
An opthamologist can spot
these warning signs early.
Most people skip the appointment
if their vision is good, but here are
three more good reasons to schedule
a visit with an ophthalmologist as
opposed to an optometrist, who focuses
on vision issues.
Wider eye vessels signal possible
brain problems. Because your
brain’s vessels are similar in size,
function, and structure to your eyes’,
issues with your peepers’ veins can
be an early warning sign of cognitive
disorders like dementia.
Yellowing of the eyes is a tip-off of
liver diseases like hepatitis and cirrhosis.
The discoloration is the result
of your liver’s inability to filter out toxins
from your blood.
Different-sized pupils are a sign of a
possible brain tumor or stroke. Both
conditions can restrict oxygen or
blood flow to one of the pupils, causing
the size discrepancy.
