HealFast Bandage: A boon for diabetics





A breakthorough concept in bandages has surfaced on the horizon which is boon for diabetics. HealFast is a bandage designed by Donn Koh that uses electric fields to accelerate the healing process and prevent further infection in the surrounding tissues.

Healfast is a simple solution to counter the wounds inflicted by pressure sores and chronic ulcers in diabetics. Applying this bandage is a simple task. Just place this bandage on the wound and peel off the protective covering, and the bandage is ready for action. When a person applies this bandage by pressing it down on his wounds, an electric charge is activated and results in a weak electric field which accelerates the healing process and prevents the surrounding tissues from getting infected.

I find this concept very helpful because even a small cut or scratch can spell disaster for a diabetic. HealFast’s amazing power can arm the diabetics with an increased sense of security.

Asians taking over 3 drinks a day at increased stroke risk

Tulane University researchers have warned that indulging in heavy drinking may rise the risk of stroke.
The researchers studied a large group of men in China, and found that individuals who consumed more than 21 drinks per week had a higher likelihood of suffering a stroke.
“We found that the men who drink more, especially at the higher levels of alcohol consumption, have a much higher risk of stroke,” says Lydia Bazzano, assistant professor of epidemiology at the Tulane School of Public Health and tropical Medicine.
