The Basics of Weight Control
The foods you eat and the beverages you drink provide energy and nutrients. The basic required nutrients are water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, dietary fibers, vitamins, and minerals. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide energy in the form of calories. Alcohol (beer, wine, liquor) adds calories without providing nutrition. Hello!

An Introduction To The Blood Pressure Monitor
A blood pressure monitor (BP monitor), or sphygmomanometer, uses an inflatable air-bladder cuff and a listening device or pressure sensor to measure blood pressure in an artery. This monitoring can be performed by using either of two methods: a manually inflated cuff with a stethoscope for listening to arterial wall sounds (the auscultatory method), or a blood pressure monitor that contains a pressure sensor for sensing arterial wall vibrations (the oscillometric method). Knowing your blood pressure can save your life. This is because you will have the opportunity to detect problems early. High blood pressure or very low blood pressure is fatal. If you have high blood pressure, this is called hypertension. This condition can cause conditions like strokes, and heart attacks, and many other diseases. It can also worsen diabetes!

Blood Pressure Chart Readings
High blood pressure increases the risk for heart disease and stroke (https://www.drnicollemd.com/2018/11/21/preventive-and-integrative-therapy-tips-to-prevent-diabetes/), two leading causes of death for Americans. High blood pressure is also very common. Tens of millions of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, and many do not have it under control. High blood pressure should be treated earlier with lifestyle changes and in some patients with medication – at 130/80 mm Hg rather than 140/90.

15 Ways to Fight Inflammation
Your immune system protects you from germs and other foreign substances that could make you sick by making parts of your body become inflamed (or heat up and swell). However, sometimes the reaction can be overwhelming (or it goes too far). Sometimes inflammation can become chronic as a response to stress, junk food, or other lifestyle triggers. This chronic inflammation (https://www.drnicollemd.com/2020/06/05/covid-19-and-health-disparities-the-basics-part-1/) is associated with many serious health issues, including diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, arthritis, fatigue, and depression. To reduce your risk, you may need to change your diet and other daily practices. Start with these ideas for following an anti-inflammatory lifestyle.

The Environment and Your Health: Dioxins
Dioxins are mainly byproducts of industrial practices. Dioxins may affect the environment and your health. Dioxins were manufactured as insulator fluids in heat-exchangers and transformers, as hydraulic fluids, and as additives to paints, oils, and caulks. They are produced through a variety of incineration processes, including improper municipal waste incineration and burning of household trash, and can be released into the air during natural processes, such as forest fires and volcanoes. These chemicals may also be released during chlorine bleaching of pulp and paper, or manufacturing or processing of certain types of chemicals, such as pesticides. Almost every living creature has been exposed to dioxins or dioxin-like compounds (DLCs). Hello! I am Dr. Nicolle, your double-board certified Family Medicine and Preventive Medicine Physician.

Lead and Your Health
The Flint water crisis is one of the worst examples of environmental injustice in recent U.S. history. Since the early days of the Environmental Justice Movement in the 1980s, many studies have revealed a pattern across the country: certain communities are excessively burdened by environmental pollution and health risks. Like Flint, those places tend to be locations where poor people and people of color are concentrated. Hello!

Disparities in Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic – Part 2
Communities of color have long faced disparities in the health care system, in part because of discrimination, poor health, and insufficient insurance coverage. There have been many reports of racial bias in medicine, often called ‘implicit bias’, and that black patients receive inferior medical care to white patients. For instance, pain is undertreated in blacks because of the thought that blacks have less-sensitive nerve endings, or that that our blood coagulates faster or more quickly, or it’s just thought that black pain is rated lower than whites. Blacks are more likely than whites to receive drug testing when prescribed long-term opiates, even though whites show higher rates of overdose. Hello!
