LDH stands for lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme that helps convert glucose into energy when oxygen is limited.

Williams syndrome is a rare genetic condition that happens when a small piece of chromosome 7 is missing. This missing piece is called a microdeletion. It occurs randomly when egg or sperm cells are forming, and it is not caused by anything a parent did before or during pregnancy. What Causes Williams Syndrome Chromosome 7 … Read more
Nasal congestion happens when the blood vessels inside your nose swell and the tissues lining your nasal passages become inflamed. This swelling narrows the airway, making it harder to breathe through your nose. The most effective way to get rid of a congested nose is to reduce that swelling and thin out the mucus blocking … Read more
Finding foods that deliver both carbohydrates and protein in one package is simpler than most people think. These foods give you steady energy from carbs and the building blocks for muscle and tissue repair from protein. Many whole foods naturally contain both, which makes balancing your plate easier than trying to pair separate sources at … Read more
