Sudden Lapse of Vision Could Be a Sign of Stroke: TCM Diet May Clear Your Blood Vessels
Have you ever experienced a sudden loss of consciousness or choked while eating? These events may be signs of cerebrovascular disease, and you should seek medical attention promptly. However, for people with a higher risk of stroke, diet therapy based on their physical condition can help dredge blood vessels and prevent cerebral infarction.

How to Manage Spondylolisthesis Without Surgery
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which the vertebrae in the lower back become misaligned and displaced, causing them to slip out of position. It is most commonly seen in adults over 50 and is often associated with poor posture and prolonged periods of sitting. Without changes to daily habits, even surgical treatment may fail to deliver lasting results.
