What Is a Boil? A boil is a skin infection that starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. Also referred to as a skin abscess, it is a localized infection deep in the skin. Boils can be as small as a pea or as large as a golf ball and can develop on any part of the body. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with infection-fighting white blood cells that the body sends via the bloodstream to eradicate the infection. This collection of white blood cells, bacteria, and proteins is known as pus.

How Red Wine Helps To Prevent Heart Disease

Health Solutions

  Red wine contains a compound called resveratrol, which could reduce the risk of heart disease by changing the gut microbiome, according to research published in mBio.   Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the US and other industrialized countries, and it is fast becoming a major health problem in developing countries, too. Recent research into the gut microbiome suggests that it holds the key to many health issues, and now it appears that it could have an impact on the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis occurs when plaque, which consists of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances, accumulates in the arteries. In time, the plaque hardens, restricting the arteries and limiting the flow of oxygen-rich blood. This can lead to heart attack, stroke, vascular dementia and even death. Atherosclerosis can also affect the arms and legs, the pelvis and the kidneys, and it can lead to a range diseases involving the arteries. Resveratrol is a plant compound that occurs naturally in peanuts, grapes, red wine and some berries. It is a polyphenol, believed to have antioxidant properties that may protect against conditions such as heart disease, cancer and neurogenerative diseases. How resveratrol protects Researchers, led by […]
