Q&A: What treatment can I use for a chapped buttocks?

TREATMENT FOR CHAFFED SKIN ON BUTT



Topical corticosteroid creams can help soothe chafed skin, as can several home remedies, like:


      1.  aloe vera
      2. coconut oil
      3. shea butter
      4. cornstarch
      5. zinc oxide
      6. and petroleum jelly

Can you heal chafing overnight?

There are many simple and soothing ointment options, such as Vaseline or A&D.

Even baby's diaper rash creams have worked well for some. Using it before bedtime will help it work overnight. 

Avoid touching or rubbing the skin in that area.




If your chafed skin doesn't improve with home remedies or over-the-counter creams, be sure to follow up with your doctor.

Cholesterol 101

 


This Health & Diet Post covers:

  • what cholesterol REALLY is
  • what cholesterol does for the body
  • how to optimize cholesterol levels to support a balanced and healthy well-being


Have you ever asked yourself, so what is cholesterol anyways? 

Well, put simply, Cholesterol is a sterol, or an insoluble, waxy lipid, basically meaning it’s a type of fat that doesn’t dissolve in water, like your blood. When referring to Cholesterol, most people are actually referring to the Cholesterol-transporting proteins LDL (low density lipoprotein) and HDL (high density lipoprotein).  LDL and HDL are responsible for transporting cholesterol throughout the body. Together LDL cholesterol + HDL cholesterol make up your total cholesterol levels.



Cholesterol  when hearing or reading this word, people often have negative connotations associated with it. Cholesterol gets a bad rep, but cholesterol isn’t the bad guy. The body needs cholesterol to function and it's critical for your overall health and longevity. 

Contrary to what you’ve been led to believe, Cholesterol DOES NOT cause heart disease. In fact, maintaining normal cholesterol levels may actually be important for health & longevity.

Most people know cholesterol for its association with causing atherosclerosis or heart disease. Although cholesterol gets a bad rep, it actually supports numerous functions within the body and plays an integral role in maintaining your health. 

Cholesterol Supported Functions:

      • Regulates the “fluidity” of the cellular and mitochondrial membrane 
      • Supports cell growth & reproduction
      • Aids in the activation of genes
      • Produces steroid hormones, (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, ect,) vitamin D and bile acids (needed to digest fat)

Both LDL and HDL cholesterol are essential in supporting healthy functions within the body. 

LDL transports cholesterol throughout the body where it’s absorbed into cells and used as a building block to build cell membranes, produce hormones, among other functions. 

HDL transports cholesterol to the liver where it is excreted from the body. HDL cholesterol is broken down into bile acids which are transported to the intestines and gallbladder during the digestion process. Only about 1-2% of these bile salts (broken down cholesterol) are lost daily through excretion as feces. 

The amount of cholesterol excreted by the body as bile is replaced by new cholesterol formed in the liver or consumed through your diet in order to keep your cholesterol levels balanced. For most people, the more cholesterol you consume in your diet, the less cholesterol your body produces.

In a small subset of the population, dietary cholesterol levels increase with cholesterol consumption, but even in this population it’s been found, repeatedly, to not have an impact on increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. In fact, this clinical review stated, "existing epidemiological data have clearly demonstrated that dietary cholesterol is not correlated with increased risk for CHD (Coronary Heart Disease)".

Overall,  your cholesterol levels largely remain constant regardless of your dietary cholesterol intake.

Get $1,000 towards your SDGE bill...


Low-Income Home
Energy Assistance Program

Help for when you need it.

Families that are struggling financially may qualify for up to $1,000 in financial assistance toward their energy bill under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This program has two components that provide financial help: 

    1. the Energy Crisis Intervention Program and 
    2. the Home Energy Assistance Program. 
The California Department of Community Services & Development (CSD) oversees this federally funded program and contracted community organizations handle enrollment.


With many people struggling to pay their energy bill because of job losses due to COVID-19, SDG&E wants customers to be aware that this program is available to them. However, SDG&E is not responsible for administering the program.

What is Ethereum 2.0?


What is Ethereum? 

Ethereum was created in 2015 by computer programmers including Vitalik Buterin.

"Vitalik" Buterin is one of the
co-founders of Ethereum

It is a decentralized computing platform that has smart contract capabilities that allow a variety of decentralized applications to be built on the network. Similar to Bitcoin, Ethereum is an open-source, decentralized project used to make peer-to-peer payments, but it is much more than that.

Developers can execute smart contracts and build databases for decentralized finance, or DeFi; nonfungible tokens, or NFTs; and gaming. These applications are not possible on the Bitcoin network. Ethereum, like Bitcoin, uses the proof-of-work, or PoW, protocol to keep the decentralized network running and maintain the integrity of the platform's operations.


Ethereum's transactions tend to be processed faster than Bitcoin's, but this comes with higher "gas fees" that users have to pay. Gas fees compensate network participants who validate transactions on the platform. These fees can be costly to new investors, even for small transaction amounts. 


Ethereum 2.0

The crypto market is patiently awaiting the rollout of Ethereum 2.0, a more energy-efficient and cost-effective model that uses the proof-of-stake, or PoS, protocol instead of PoW. The transition to PoS will allow the network to support more transactions per second to make the network more scalable.

"The blockchain behind the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ether, will soon undergo a highly anticipated upgrade that may lead to more institutional investors putting money in the network and help lift Ether's price," says Eloisa Marchesoni, a crypto entrepreneur and public speaker. 


While Bitcoin today is the largest crypto by market value, Marchesoni says, Ether could become the leader after its infrastructure upgrade, also called the "Merge," marking the end of the proof-of-work for Ethereum.
