Raynaud's disease: An overview
In Raynaud's disease, smaller arteries that supply blood to your skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas. This causes these areas of your body, particularly your fingers and toes, to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress. Learn more about the causes and risk factors for Raynaud's disease and what you can do to prevent the symptoms.

Probiotics and prebiotics: Do you need them?
Probiotics are a type of good bacteria that might help with digestion and offer protection from harmful bacteria, just as the good bacteria in your body already do. Prebiotics are nondigestible carbohydrates that act as food for probiotics. When probiotics and prebiotics are combined, they interact beneficially. While more research is needed, there is evidence that probiotics might help with diarrhea following certain antibiotics; irritable bowel syndrome; allergic disorders, such as eczema and hay fever; and more.
