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. Transient Amaurosis: An Indication of Cerebrovascular Issues If you've ever experienced a sudden blackout in front of your eyes, were unable to see, and then quickly returned to normal, you've experienced transient amaurosis.

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. In an episode of the 'Health 1+1' program, Zheng Yun-Long, an expert in spinal health and CEO of Taiwan's Body Learning Co., shared targeted exercises to help manage spondylolisthesis, along with practical guidance to prevent further spinal slippage. What Is Spondylolisthesis? The spine naturally follows an S-shaped curve. However, poor posture while standing, walking, or bending can cause the intervertebral discs—the soft cartilage between the vertebrae—to flatten or wear down. Over time, if the ligaments that connect and support the spine weaken, the vertebrae may begin to shift out of alignment, resulting in spondylolisthesis.
