<br />
The nasopharynx is the upper part of the pharynx (throat) behind the nose. Nasopharyngeal cancer most commonly starts in the squamous cells that line the nasopharynx.<br />

<br />
The 3 parts of the pharynx are the nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx.<br />
<br />
Key point about nasopharyngeal cancer:<br />
<br />
1. Nasopharyngeal cancer is a type of Head and Neck cancer.<br />
2. Risk factor may include the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>Being of Chinese or Asian ancestry.</li>
<li>More common in men, 30-50 years old.</li>
<li>Exposure to the Epstein-Barr virus, of which it has been associated with various cancers, including Nasopharyngeal and some Lymphomas.</li>
<li>Eating salt cured foods, also chemicals released from the steam when cooking salt cured foods may enter nasal cavity, increasing the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer.</li>
</ul>

<br />
The interaction between grapefruit juice and some medications can cause negative effects, especially on kidney level, and sometimes it can be fatal. A woman that uses birth control pills and then suddenly drinks too much grapefruit juice can get pregnant because this juice makes the effects of the pills disappear.<br />
<br />
Grapefruit juice is not indicated to drink while taking anti-depressing medication, antibiotics and medicine for cardio-vascular diseases. A person that takes anti-depressives and adds to that grapefruit in huge quantities can feel that he has all of a sudden too much or too little energy, depending on the pills taken.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vSPFrrmvc8I/VI8DqjAHv2I/AAAAAAAABmk/7CLB-sZpQbU/s1600/grapefruit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vSPFrrmvc8I/VI8DqjAHv2I/AAAAAAAABmk/7CLB-sZpQbU/s1600/grapefruit.jpg" height="256" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Combining it with antibiotic can cause stomach sickness or can extend the illness you are taking medication for because the antibiotics will diminuate their effect. Heart drugs don’t work anymore, the blood pressure stays up and the heart beat irregularly. For those that love grapefruit juice, witch is more concentrated than the fruit itself, a recommendation would be to restrain from drinking it while they are taking medication.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Doctors try to raise attention upon avoiding and combating the combination of grapefruit with medicine especially because in some diets grapefruit juice is recommended in huge quantities.<br />
Grapefruit is benefic to organism if used properly. It belongs to that class of aliments that burn calories, because it takes more calories to digest them than they have.<br />
<br />
Eating the fruit is not a problem, nor is drinking a glass of juice once in a while. The problem appears where human reasoning disappears. Wanting to loose more weight faster, people weaken their bodies and eat only grapefruits. It is efficient for a diet, but it also loosens the imunitary system.<br />
<br />
They become more vulnerable, more tired and nervous and if taking any medications they are risking their health in this combination. So use this aliment wisely, go ask a specialist of its precise effects in your case and don’t abuse drinking grapefruit juice. Abusing something has never brought anything good, and it won’t in this case either.<br />
<br />
If you want to go on with your diet and keep your health find an alternative solution or make sure this does not affect your organism.<br />

Most of the medical researchers all over the world, consider cancer to be a “metabolic disease”. Metabolic diseases are those diseases, which are known to affect the metabolism rate of the human body.<br />
<br />
As already said, we know that cancer has been concluded as to be a “metabolic disease” and that conclusion has been drawn from the fact that, cancer as a disease affects the human cells in the body.<br />
Cells are microscopic living units in the body, which together form all living organs in the body.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y0StYYznkT4/TMWOWmPbbZI/AAAAAAAABFk/FuKFYbySVr8/s1600/Cancer_cell%2C%2Bbrain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y0StYYznkT4/TMWOWmPbbZI/AAAAAAAABFk/FuKFYbySVr8/s1600/Cancer_cell%2C%2Bbrain.jpg" height="252" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
At any given time or state, the human body is made up of a billion cells, which together constitute the human organs. Cancer as a disease is considered to be a very deadly disease, just because of the fact that the disease affects the human cells. In cancer, abnormal and unusual cells crop up in the human body and they grow and spread in the human body at an alarming and fast rate.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The abnormal cells grow and star spreading at a very fast rate. Usually, the normal cells divide and grow up to a certain level and then they die after a little time, unlike the unusual cells which do not follow the normal rate of growth and division. The cancer cells keep on dividing and continue growing on unlike the usual cells.<br />
<br />
The cancer cells unlike the usual cells do not die and start getting clumped together, which in turn forms a tumor. It is said that cancer actually is a stage in the body when the cells turn, “trophoblastic”. Trophoblastic is a situation in the human body, when the cells in the human body tend to multiply at a faster rate than the normal.<br />
<br />
This stage can be explained for example, when a human body gets an external or internal injury, then the cells of the human body start the healing process, by starting to multiply. In case, the cells are in a trophoblastic stage, then although the cells start healing, but they don’t stop multiplying, thereby causing a lump. This in medical term is also called as a tumor.<br />
<br />
This lump goes numb even if the body controls the growth of the trophoblastic cells and proves to be highly injurious if the cells keep spreading. The removal of such tumor would rather lead to the uncontrolled growth of those trophoblastic cells, because of more effected sited due to the operation, and thus result in increasing the cancer.<br />
<br />
The known medical treatments for cancer are radiation therapy and chemotherapy. But neither radiation therapy is effective due to the reason it creates more wounded parts and thus increases the cancer cells, nor chemotherapy is effective because it adversely effects the immune system of the body and the body holds no-more ability of natural healing.<br />

Keeping fit, means capturing the days of youth and all the fun of those days alive. Man can give up everything for the sake of keeping himself young.<br />
<br />
In spite of all the kinds of treatments that have been flourishing the market, the people have not been driven crazy, they still trust the basic natural way of keeping in shape, i.e., by exercising regularly and maintaining a working routine. It is very necessary to go for a complete fitness training, which takes care of all the aspects of making a fit body, beginning from making note about the right kind of diet and right kind of exercises which suits the physical conditions of the body.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r4uUpY4eSrA/TKyBj4aKwEI/AAAAAAAAA_0/jYsOWOXjOpE/s1600/getty_rf_photo_overweight_boy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r4uUpY4eSrA/TKyBj4aKwEI/AAAAAAAAA_0/jYsOWOXjOpE/s1600/getty_rf_photo_overweight_boy.jpg" height="217" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The several benefits that are derived from the regular physical fitness workouts. Workout chalked out in correspondence to the physical needs of the body, if observed regularly, may help the body get into the desired shape and develop resistance power in the body.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The major benefits derived from fitness training programs are bringing down the weight of the bulky body to right proportion, increases the resistance power in the body which results in decreasing the risks of getting attacked by diseases, helps in cutting down the fat from the body and finally gives the body a toned shape.<br />
<br />
Not only these, but also helps in frequently getting caught in depressions, cures insomnia by helping enhance the sleeping routine, releases positive vibes in the body and thus increases self-esteem and apart from these also gives more energy and stamina to the body.<br />
<br />
Fitness training also helps in increasing the metabolism of the body, which means more muscles using more calories in body. The training helps increase fit muscles in body, by burning the calories. After the body grows senile, the body loses its muscles and the metabolism of the body slows down gradually, which means the calories of the body is not burnt and get concentrated which results in increasing the weight of the body.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--R_ker1y62k/T3r2FZUQLnI/AAAAAAAABMI/c-fO0LLciNw/s1600/Bodybuilder1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--R_ker1y62k/T3r2FZUQLnI/AAAAAAAABMI/c-fO0LLciNw/s1600/Bodybuilder1.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So to keep the metabolism from slowing down and not letting the fat concentrate in the body one can opt for some fitness training and take some aerobic activities. Taking exercises not only helps one maintain a strong and toned look from outside but also helps in keeping the mental peace and content. It also helps in reducing symptoms of menopause, cardiac diseases and keeps the level of cholesterol in control. And in all it gives the body a much toned shape, which not only looks strong but is stronger than what it looks like.<br />

He is 115 years old and retired from work at the age of 105, despite which he enjoys a remarkable health and is very active physically. He is Japanese residing on the Sango Coral islands in and around Okinawa. His secret has been revealed by medical tests as consumption of coral calcium.<br />
<br />
The Sango islands were formed from Sango Coral reefs which have a chemical composition similar to human bones. During rain, the rain water naturally percolates through these reefs and accumulates various minerals and elements. The water becomes rich in essential vitamins and has a pH value between 7 and 8.5, indicating high alkalinity. This water contains a high level of coral calcium.<br />
<br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EWe4ni61Kdw/VI7-saPdnGI/AAAAAAAABmU/0oU_WjHLxg0/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EWe4ni61Kdw/VI7-saPdnGI/AAAAAAAABmU/0oU_WjHLxg0/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></td></tr>

<br />
Sango coral is the only one of its kind to have these unique qualities (health benefits to human beings) out of about 2500 species of corals. It occurs in abundance only around Okinawa, Japan. Today, over 4 million Japanese are in the habit of consuming coral calcium capsules daily, as a result of the efforts of the Japanese government. The Japanese government authorized mining of Sango Coral sand for coral calcium about 10 years ago. This operation is very carefully monitored so that no living coral is damaged, and extracts, pulverizes and treats the Sango Coral sand rich in calcium, magnesium and trace minerals to produce coral calcium. The result is packed into capsules, which when consumed raise the pH level of the body to a healthy alkalinity.<br />
<br />
The other cultures around the world who enjoy longevity are Titicacas of Peru, Azerbaijans, Armenians, Hunzas of Pakistan and Tibetans. They attribute this to drinking “Milk of the Mountains” – the molten glacier water which contains crushed rocks in the glacial ice, is turbid and white like milk. The scientific inference from these is that consumption of Calcium whether coral calcium or in other forms is beneficial in prolonging human life.<br />
<br />
Coral calcium is full of trace minerals, the major ones being calcium and magnesium. Humankind has been depleted of micronutrient elements essential for proper functioning of body cells. The soil polluted by industrialization does not have enough minerals to keep the human body going. These have to be present in the soil first to be absorbed into fruits, vegetables and other edible natural food. In contrast coral Calcium consists of 74 trace minerals that are naturally ionized which results in better absorption by the human body. Strangely, but truly there have never been doctors in Okinawa, Japan, owing to coral calcium, proving the effectiveness of coral calcium in keeping the human body healthy and fit, apart from longevity. Over 200 diseases are linked to mineral deficiency including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, gall bladder and kidney stones and arthritis. Coral calcium, by providing essential minerals helps in keeping the pH balance in human body.<br />
<br />
pH in normal terms means potential hydrogen. It is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration in a fluid. pH is measured on a scale of 14, 7 being the midway or neutral. A pH value below 7 indicates acidic and above 7 indicates alkaline. When a fluid is acidic, it is oxygen deprived. A human body is said to be non diseased only when the pH value of bodily fluid is alkaline measuring between 7 and 8 on the pH scale. The normal pH value of blood is between 7.35 and 7.45. If it drops below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, life becomes non existent.<br />
<br />
Coral calcium increases the oxygen level in the body enabling to dump the toxic waste that keeps accumulating. Drinking oxygen rich spring or mineral water having high pH level combined with coral calcium and other minerals arms the human body with disease fighting ability, naturally.<br />

The sickness is provoked by the lack of oxygen.<br />
<br />
The easiest manifestation of height sickness can appear at altitudes of 2000 meters and it will manifest itself through headaches, dizziness, and incapability of movement. These symptoms will disappear in a few days if you continue staying at that height.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
The most severe sensations of height sickness appear at extremely high altitudes usually over 3000 meters in altitude. Next to the symptoms already mentioned, others can appear like: loosing appetite, sleep disorders and waking up frequently in the middle of the night. The difficulty that can be encountered when breathing, stomach sickness, temporary losses of memory, encountering difficulty when trying to concentrate are amongst the most common and severe symptoms that solicit an immediate change of altitude.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Who are the ones most likely to be afraid of heights?</b><br />
<br />
There is no way to predict who is going to be height sick. Surprisingly, older people, people with low physical activity and poor health are not more affected by the height sickness than other persons. This also means that if you never encountered this problem until now you can’t be sure that you won’t feel sick next time you take a trip by plane or climb a mountain.<br />
<br />
<b>How can this be avoided?</b><br />
<br />
The best solution to avoid this sensation in the mountains is to climb slowly until you get to the destination, and to climb in such a way that the whole process is going to take at least a few days. In case of a plane flight, ask the advice of the physician about the medication you can take to stop the alternative of being plane sick.<br />
It is extremely important to drink as much water as you can possibly drink to avoid deshidratation, a factor that can make the sensation of sick worse. A big quantity of water is lost when you are at low temperatures, but also when you are involved in activities that require a great effort, like winter sports.<br />

<br />
You can choose any culture, any country you want and you will find specific traditional food for each and every one of them. But there is something different about the way the Spanish cook, they just make food enjoying it and this is what matters and offers such tasty results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SLSC7vBA-H4/VIcLZS_5uWI/AAAAAAAABjk/-OjS9_xo-Cg/s1600/belly-fat-ergger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SLSC7vBA-H4/VIcLZS_5uWI/AAAAAAAABjk/-OjS9_xo-Cg/s1600/belly-fat-ergger.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
First of all you have to know Spanish people like to eat a lot of eggs. But they never, or almost never, eat boiled eggs like we do. The traditional egg preparation method is to scramble them and fry them, obtaining a delicious omlette with potatoes and lots of onions added in the frying pan. The Spanish tortilla, as it is called is an exceptional and nutritional way to feed your family for lunch.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Another wonderful dish is the paella. The paella means that you will pretty much throw in the frying pan everything you have in your fridge. Everything that goes with each other, of course. The base for the paella is usually obtained out of boiled chicken wings of legs and to it we will add vegetables assorted to our taste. It is important that we fry everything together in olive oil for a better taste. We can even add fruits in the pan and after everything is done, just a minute before turning off the fire, we pour in the pan an assorted natural juice or liqueur or wine, whatever we want as long as we think we will like it. And the result will be an absolutely extraordinary dish made to fit our every taste and desire.<br />
<br />
Spanish deserts are often a dream, but they can be rather difficult to prepare and they usually contain lots of calories. Spanish cooking in generally is for people that really have time to spend in the kitchen and enjoy doing it. Most Spanish dishes take a log time to complete and a regular Spanish meal can require up to 3 or even 4 dishes to serve.<br />
<br />
If you are willing to try but don’t really have that much time on your hand them you can just go to a Spanish restaurant near you an d see for a change how Spanish people eat. But if you experience weight problems you must be careful on how much you eat, Spanish food can be addictive and it contains many calories to give you lots of benefic energy.<br />

The main idea is that our body uses more calories to digest some aliments than the calories we know those aliments contain themselves by analyzing the combination of nutritional components of the specific aliments. If we burn more calories than we consume, then we will lose weight.<br />
<br />
The theory is in fact very appealing: the body has to consume energy in order to digest the food. For example, an orange has about 50 calories. To process all nutritional components and vitamins that an orange contains, our body will burn more than just 50 calories.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-79YoZN0asQg/VIcKJstQvlI/AAAAAAAABjc/m9TfzCyMjwo/s1600/Negative-Calorie-Food.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-79YoZN0asQg/VIcKJstQvlI/AAAAAAAABjc/m9TfzCyMjwo/s1600/Negative-Calorie-Food.jpg" height="215" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The diet using negative calories is more a solution we can call on in some specific periods, when our body is overwhelmed with nutrition, like holidays, Christmas, New Year’s, birthdays, weddings, and less of a solution that can be used on a long term.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Some specialists say that the lost of weight is obtained mostly by losing parts of the muscular tissue, which is not recommended at all.<br />
<br />
So if you decide to use the diet with negative calories keep in mind the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Make sure it is done in a period your body has already too many calories stored and you won’t be affecting your health by doing this.</li>
<li>Ask a medic if you can resist only eating this types of aliments and also ask him the time limit for this diet in your case so you can avoid getting sick.</li>
<li>Try to combine them as much as you can, do not eat just oranges or other fruits that contain citric acid as they are not good for your stomach activity when eaten in huge quantities.</li>
<li>Review your schedule for the days you want to use this diet and make sure you don’t have any important or stressful things to do. Stress also causes caloric burn and weight reduction and if it occurs during a diet that weakens the organism you can feel physically powerless. If such a thing happens give up on the diet and eat something with many calories and glucoses fast.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
If all above points are checked and passed you can start a negative calories diet and give a try to actually eating something instead of taking slim pills and drinking tea.<br />

It is caused due to mismanagement of carbohydrate metabolism inside the body. Diabetes is identified with the excessive production of urine, hunger, thirst and excessive loss of weight, blurred vision, and delay in healing of skin, repeated infection, and excessive fatigue. Diabetes has got a serous issue of human health. It denotes sugar in blood and urine very excessively.<br />

So, when it comes to treatment of diabetes the main concern should be given to control blood sugar, which is main cause of diabetes. Managing blood sugar is the stepping-stone of this diabetes treatment program. To remove the complications of diabetes one must take it seriously and adopt some good diet process or healthy exercise. Apart from doing so some take insulin and any other type of medication program to be cured to some extent. Frequent testing of blood sugar can denote you how much you have improved on your part to manage suitable measure of sugar in blood. It is very important to learn the right range of glucose in blood unless and until you cannot have the idea about the complication you are facing about this disease. It depends on age mainly such as in younger age assuming not much complication is there the suitable range of glucose is 80-120 mg/dL and in older age it is 100-140 mg/dL.<br />

<br />
Diabetes program includes some specific self-treatments like having good and suitable diet, having proper exercise, maintaining healthy weight and medication. When it is about good and suitable diet it does not make any suggestion to take all dull food which are not of your interest rather it denotes to have more fruits, vegetables and grains that means you should be conscious in taking the foods of high nutrition and lower fat and calories. Avoid taking sweets and animal products with no limit. The main part of this diabetes treatment program is that you own self should be challenging in this task otherwise this program will be harder enough. Consult any dietitian about meal plan and try to maintain it at the fixed times every day with same amount according to your diet plan.<br />
<br />
On the part of having proper exercise you should be cautious about all aerobic exercises. In this diabetes treatment program you can make your choices among the daily exercises like doing morning or evening walk, jogging, hiking, biking, swimming and any other exercises of heart and lungs. Remember giving consistency to your exercise process is very important to get the best result through it.<br />
<br />
Try to maintain weight according to your activity level and age because overweight is dangerous factor which help to make your cells more resistant to insulin. Making suitable weight loss plan and going according to that can make its result more effectively.<br />
Sometimes medication takes a very important role in case where it is found that good dieting and exercise are not fulfilling it purpose. This type of diabetes program includes the insert of insulin as per requirement. As it can’t be taken in form of pill some people have it injected by syringe or some have it with insulin pump.<br />
So now it is very clear that diabetes is always manageable if the sufferer give a serious daily attention to it. Although diabetes stands for life long suffering, yet it never means the end of your life. You just have to remember that the disease will be in your control only and only if you are self disciplined for your each and every step of treatment program.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">An every day ratio of dark bitter chocolate could help prevent heart diseases, according to a study realized by a team of Swiss researchers. The Swiss researchers say that the anti-oxidants from chocolate could prevent the blood veins to become smaller and less wide.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">The research team came to this conclusion after testing on a group of 20 volunteers, which were smokers without health problems. The subjects were asked not to eat any types of aliments rich in anti-oxidants such as apples, onion and cabbage and after that they were given 40 grams of different types of chocolate. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GAkw_9krGYM/VIcGsd9FWmI/AAAAAAAABjI/V9iCslRVr34/s1600/Chocolate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GAkw_9krGYM/VIcGsd9FWmI/AAAAAAAABjI/V9iCslRVr34/s1600/Chocolate.jpg" height="249" width="320" /></a></div>
</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><a name='more'></a><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Two hours after consuming the chocolate, the echo-graph showed that black chocolate, with a cocoa percent of at least 74%, significantly improved the blood flow. Additionally, ulterior tests showed that the risk of encountering blood accidents and blockages has been decreased to half of the initial risk. However, white chocolate did not achieve similar effects. The researches that performed the study say that dark chocolate contain the biggest quantity of anti-oxidants for one gram than any other products like red vine, green tea or forests fruits.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Chocolate is indeed an aliment that has many anti-oxidant elements in it. But it also contains fats and glucoses in huge quantities. So, it can cause weight problems if excessively consumed.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">The best thing to do is to adjust your chocolate portion to your actual weight and to the amount of physical effort you make everyday. Persons that are involved in a great deal of effort can consume chocolate without fearing weight problems. But the ones that don’t, like people working in offices, sitting all day on a chair and not doing any kind of sports are confronted with a big problem if they eat too much chocolate. If the organism doesn’t call for sweets, like it does when we are cold, tired or worn out, then the chocolate use should be reduced to a minimal portion a day.</span></span></div>

<br />
You know the story. It gets delivered, you set it up and enjoy it for a few days…and then it sits…and waits.<br />
<br />
A few months down the road, you notice how dusty it has become and how much space it’s taking up. And you remember how much weight you were determined to lose by using it faithfully every day. But now, unfortunately, it doubles as a clothes rack.<br />
<br />
Never fear. This article will help you make sure that DOESN’T happen.<br />
<br />
A treadmill provides the best overall cardiovascular workout & it’s still the number one exercise machine for those who want to lose weight. So it’s an investment in your health that will pay large dividends…if you are prepared to get the maximum benefit from it!<br />
<br />
Here are <span style="color: red;"><b>5</b> </span>easy ways to get the <b><span style="color: red;">BEST</span></b> use from your home treadmill:<br />
<br />
<b><i>#1) Do your research first </i></b><br />
<br />
Make sure you look at what each treadmill offers you and compare it to your unique needs.<br />
<br />
For example, if you live in a condo and/or like things neat and clean, a folding treadmill might suit you best. If you want a folding treadmill, do you prefer a manual folding treadmill (like most folding treadmills) or do you want a shock-assisted folding treadmill with wheels on the bottom that’s easy to move?<br />
<br />
If you like to drink water during your workout, make sure there’s a water bottle holder included in the treadmill console (it might surprise you how many treadmills do not have this feature.)<br />
<br />
Do you get bored easily and need a challenge? What about getting a treadmill with lots of user programs or one that is iFit compatible?<br />
<br />
These things may seem little and maybe it might cost you a bit more; but if it means you’re actually going to enjoy your workout it will be well worth it!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b><i>#2) Place the treadmill in a ‘happy’ spot. </i></b><br />
<br />
By ‘happy’ I mean well-lit, open and stimulating. Don’t put it so you face the bare wall when you walk or run. I’ve tried this this and the workouts don’t last long! If you get bored easily, put it facing the television or facing a window where you can have an attractive view while working out.<br />
<br />
Rooms and spaces have definite ‘feels’ to them and that will affect the success of your workouts. Make sure your treadmill is placed in an area that makes you feel energized, happy and mentally stimulated.<br />
<br />
<b><i>#3) Get your exercise arsenal ready BEFORE the treadmill arrives. </i></b><br />
<br />
Do you like listening to fast music when you exercise? Do you like watching your favorite movies? What about reading magazines? What inspires you to work out and feel your best?<br />
<br />
Get these things ready even before your treadmill arrives and you’ll be three-quarters of the way there. Have several workout or favorite CD’s around. Get your favorite movies or shows on tape. Gather your favorite magazines.<br />
<br />
By having an ‘exercise’ stash around your treadmill, you’ll be inspired to workout AND you won’t be stuck running around looking for something to do when you want to start exercising.<br />
<br />
Again, this may seem simple, but it works. Why do you think gyms have magazines, televisions and CD players handy?<br />
<br />
<b><i>#4) Make an exercise plan. </i></b><br />
<br />
Before you start working out, try making a plan, a “roadmap to your rock-hard body” so to speak. By writing down how long and what kind of workout you’ll be doing in week 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, you’ll get yourself psyched up for success.<br />
<br />
Remember that every time you workout, you are planting the seeds for the kind of dream body that you want.<br />
<br />
By having a plan, you can see just how many seeds you’ve planted (and even how long it will take to start reaping the results!) Have fun with it and you’ll be motivated to achieve your health goals (and get maximum benefits from your treadmill!)<br />
<br />
<b><i>#5) Track your progress </i></b><br />
<br />
Ok this is related to #4 but it’s more of an ongoing thing. By tracking your progress every day, you get a major sense of accomplishment which snowballs into even greater fat-burning results.<br />
<br />
I suggest you have ‘minimum goals’ like “I’ll walk for at least 10 minutes.” or “I’ll do 5-30 second intervals.” These are easy to do and you’ll probably go beyond them – which will encourage you even further and heighten your sense of accomplishment.<br />
<br />
And of course, you’re also getting maximum benefit from your treadmill!<br />
<br />
Those are 5 ways to get best use from your home treadmill. Just remember that even a little bit of preparation will pay off large dividends in the long run.<br />
<br />

Being a healthy eater requires you to become both educated and smart about what healthy eating </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
actually is. Being food smart isn't about learning to calculate grams or fat, or is it about studying labels and counting calories.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Healthy eating is all about balanced and moderate eating, consisting of healthy meals at least three times per day. Healthy eaters eat many different types of foods, not limiting themselves to one specific food type or food group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eating healthy requires quite a bit of leeway. You might eat too much or not enough, consume foods that are sometimes more or less nutritious. However, you should always fuel your body and your brain regularly with enough food to keep both your mind and body strong and alert.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T3VS8uvuE4o/VH8zvRFUkwI/AAAAAAAABiQ/E7ibwL3EzSc/s1600/Foods_(cropped).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T3VS8uvuE4o/VH8zvRFUkwI/AAAAAAAABiQ/E7ibwL3EzSc/s1600/Foods_(cropped).jpg" height="320" width="297" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A healthy eater is a good problem solver. Healthy eaters have learned to take care of themselves and their eating with sound judgement and making wise decisions. Healthy eaters are always aware of what they eat, and know the effect that it will have on their bodies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When someone is unable to take control of their eating, they are also likely to get out of control with other aspects of life as well. They could end up spending too much, talking too much, even going to bed later and later. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You should always remember that restricting food in any way is always a bad thing. Healthy eating is a way of life, something that you can do to enhance your body or your lifestyle. If you've thought about making your life better, healthy eating is just the place to start. You'll make life easier for yourself, those around you, and even your family. </div>

<b>Be Lean, Mean: Tips for Buying those Fitness Equipment Machines</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How do you regularly stay fit, healthy and flexible? A hale and hearty diet of nutritious fruits and vegetables is the key as well as regular and continuous exercise. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best exercise is one that you are really and sincerely going to be working out on, be it push-ups, stretches, jumping jacks or the regular jogging or the much tamer walking. However, there are people who prefer to work out using fitness equipment in their own homes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FS6l9-Oc5cM/VH8v5GYF8vI/AAAAAAAABiA/ZtNj1iVpc20/s1600/equipment-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FS6l9-Oc5cM/VH8v5GYF8vI/AAAAAAAABiA/ZtNj1iVpc20/s1600/equipment-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following are a few basic and important things to consider when buying those exercise equipments.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Do not believe what you see and hear</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At least not everything, it is good if you assess all those claims exercise equipments declare in their advertisements. It is so hard to accept as true for example some statements that assure people that they will lose several pounds off their weight in as little as seven days or that you will decrease your pants size in one month. Even with the assistance of dietary supplements, it is not possible to accomplish changes as major as these in just a few weeks, much less days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Fat Burner is a No Burner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be skeptical about claims that say you will be able to burn a tremendous amount of fat in a specific area of your body, such as the hips, thighs, waist just by applying a specific type of ointment or lotion, etc. The only sure way to burn all those fat way is by changing what you eat. Exercise is the best solution to works out every area of the body whose fat you want to get rid of. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8X4sL4m3NL0/VH8vRiiEOjI/AAAAAAAABh4/XABr-IePARE/s1600/FAt%2Bburner%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8X4sL4m3NL0/VH8vRiiEOjI/AAAAAAAABh4/XABr-IePARE/s1600/FAt%2Bburner%2B2.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Example Image</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The only testimonial that counts is yours</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before and after pictures of people who claim that they were able to lose weight because of using such and such equipments may or may not be true. If ever they are, their experience is purely personal and that is no assurance that your unique body weight, body make-up will also undergo the same change they went through. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Read the fine print</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is always advisable to read the fine print of anything. Though you believe that the fitness equipment you are planning to purchase is a good one, reading the fine print really wouldn’t hurt as it may say that you also have to decrease your calorie intake and not just rely on what the machine could do for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Do the math</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are advertising statements that say you could pay off the fitness equipment in a number of easy payments or by paying a mere thirty nine ninety five a month. Do not forget to inquire about shipping and handling costs and include that in your calculation. Also, add-on the required sales tax, delivery fees, set-up fees. Know all the details before you purchase. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Guarantee the warranty</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is best that you consider asking about details on their thirty day money back guarantee. Though this could sound good to you as the consumer, it may or may not actually do you good if for example you are going to return the item. You may actually pay for the humongous shipping cost and it could cost you more than what you could guarantee to receive in thirty days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Call customer service</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Make sure you contact their customer service hotline. Usually, they have toll-free numbers that you must be able to easily contact as well as a customer service representative who must be glad to be able to take your call and answer thoroughly all or any questions you may have about their products and services. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>Many people nowadays are very much conscious about their own health and fitness. In addition to that, these people, and many others as well, are now having that desire to sculpt their bodies to ahieve that magazine-cover look. As a result, gyms, health spas and other fitness centers have proliferated all over to cater to the needs of the fitness buffs and afficionados.<br />
<br />
<br />
Even on television exercise machines, weight loss products, and other paraphernalia to improve fitness have more or less gained control over the airwaves and made their way into the households. But exerise is not the only way to build that body beautiful. It also entails certain amount of responsibility on the foods one chooses to eat. Being healthy and fit requires one to observe diet fitness.<br />
<br />
Diet fitness is as essential as exercise itself. Diet for fitness provides the essential nutrition one needs to restore worn-out muscles and for healthy growth. Diet fitness should never be taken for granted. With the popularity of keeping fit, many different views, methods, programs and dieting strategies have been formulated by many professionals. Among these are high carb diets and high fat diets. Whih one is more effective and which one should one choose to follow?<br />
<br />
<a alt="A Look on Diet Fitness" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lgu4BwqPtIE/T3r2GPRGICI/AAAAAAAABMQ/SagtljzUbCk/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="A Look on Diet Fitness"><img alt="A Look on Diet Fitness" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lgu4BwqPtIE/T3r2GPRGICI/AAAAAAAABMQ/SagtljzUbCk/s1600/images.jpg" title="A Look on Diet Fitness" /></a>First thing to know would be the fundamental differences between these two diet approaches. As the name implies, high carb diets concentrates on taking in carbohydrate-rich foods while high fat diets endorses fat-rich foods. High carb diets are utilized to glycogen stored in the liver and muscles. Glycogen is a glucose complex that provides large amounts of energy ready for use in anaerobic exercises.<br />
<br />
Fats, on the other hand, is well-nown for being the richest source of calories. It actually contains 2.5 times more calories than carbohydrates and proteins alike. Studies also show that it takes the body 24 calories to metabolize carbohydrates while it only takes 3 to burn down fat. So which one to follow? A person can follow a high carb and low fat fitness diet or the other way around. It is absolutely not recommended to follow both at the same time; unless of course if you want to gain body fat.<br />
<br />
But then diet fitness is not all about losing fat, one must also consider his diet in order to keep fat away. Research shows that sustainable loss of weight can only be achieved on a diet which suits the individual food preferences, lifestyle, medical profile and satiety signals.<br />
<br />
Diet programs all over can help you shed off excess pounds, but only one diet can help you stay sexy, and it is the one that satisfies you most. Other important aspects of having a fit diet are moderation, balance and variation. One must be careful not to leave out important nutrients and other substances necessary for healthy body functioning. health organizations are clear about the amounts of nutrients an individual should have in the body.<br />
<br />
Low fat high carbs, high carbs low fat; the question is not which diet program will work out but which is it that will work for you. Striving for a sexy and healthy body does not have to burden an individual, diet fitness does not have to mean sticking to the same kind of food for life. One may even try to be adventurous and try out new foods out there. Who knows? one may even discover spinach interesting.SyazwanJaudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00697553355404431729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016128928200399810.post-14782363996908135642012-04-04T18:24:00.000+08:002015-11-08T01:51:41.412+08:00Colorectal Cancer - Descriptive epidemiology<div style="text-align: justify;">
Different populations worldwide experience different levels of colorectal cancer, and these levels change with time. Populations living in one community whose lifestyles differ from those of others in the same community also experience different levels of colorectal cancer. Groups of migrants quickly lose the risk associated with their original home community and acquire the patterns of the new community, often starting within one generation of arrival.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ethnic and racial differences in colorectal cancer, as well as studies on migrants, suggest that environmental factors play a major part in the aetiology of the disease. In Israel male Jews born in Europe or the United States are at higher risk of colon cancer than those born in Africa or Asia. Risk in the offspring of Japanese populations who have migrated to the United States has changed—incidence now approaches or surpasses that in white people in the same population and is three or four times higher than among the Japanese in Japan.</div>

As much as 70-80% of colorectal cancers may owe their appearance to such factors; this clearly identifies colorectal cancer as one of the major neoplasms in which causes may be rapidly identified, and a large portion of the disease is theoretically avoidable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The move from theoretically avoidable causes to implementation of preventive strategies depends on the identification of risk factors, exposures that have been associated with an increased (or decreased) risk of colorectal cancer, and the smaller subset of risk determinants, whose alteration would lead directly to a reduction in risk. From analytical epidemiology some clear ideas have now emerged about measures for reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.</div>

It's normal for the red blood cells to break down, although the bilirubin formed doesn't normally cause jaundice because the liver will metabolize it and then get rid of it in the gut.<br />
<br />
However, the newborn baby will often become jaundiced during the first few days due to the liver enzyme that metabolizes the bilirubin becoming relatively immature. Therefore, newborn babies will have more red blood cells than adults, and thus more will break down at any given time.<br />
<br />
<b>Breast Milk Jaundice </b><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><a alt="Breast Feeding And Jaundice" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IHNidNDoy-I/T3mOKYYK3BI/AAAAAAAABLo/X30qfwQHeog/s1600/bfmom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Breast Feeding And Jaundice"><img alt="Breast Feeding And Jaundice" border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IHNidNDoy-I/T3mOKYYK3BI/AAAAAAAABLo/X30qfwQHeog/s200/bfmom.jpg" title="Breast Feeding And Jaundice" width="133" /></a></div>There is a condition that's commonly referred to as breast milk jaundice, although no one knows what actually causes it. In order to diagnose it, the baby should be at least a week old. The baby should also be gaining well with breast feeding alone, having lots of bowel movements with the passing of clean urine.<br />
In this type of setting, the baby has what is referred to as breast milk jaundice. On occasion, infections of the urine or an under functioning of the baby's thyroid gland, as well as other rare illnesses that may cause the same types of problems.<br />
<br />
Breast milk jaundice will peak at 10 - 21 days, although it can last for 2 - 3 months. Contrary to what you may think, breast milk jaundice is normal. Rarely, if at all ever, does breast feeding need to be stopped for even a brief period of time.<br />
<br />
If the baby is doing well on breast milk, there is no reason at all to stop or supplement with a lactation aid.SyazwanJaudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00697553355404431729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016128928200399810.post-84419014410972844572012-04-02T19:25:00.000+08:002012-04-02T19:25:21.576+08:00The Best Sinus Headache ReliefThis article will deal the best treatment for sinus headache relief. The cause of sinus headaches can be sinus congestion and inflammation which is known as sinusitis. This can be the result of a respiratory infection like a flu or cold, or allergies such as hay fever. When the sinuses work properly mucus is allowed to drain and air can circulate through the nasal passages. But when the area is inflamed, there is blockage and the mucus cannot drain. This turns them into a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus and viruses. Most often caused by a cold, sinusitis can result from anything that stops the sinuses from draining properly.<br />
<br />
The best sinus headache relief is to address the underlying sinus inflammation. Doctors will usually prescribe antibiotics or corticosteroids. But there are many other things that are lifestyle related that you can do such as using a humidifier or irrigating your nasal passages with salt water which may help. There are a few dietary supplements and herbs that can help with cold and flu prevention, improve your immune system and treat your infection.<br />
<br />
One important point to sinus headache relief is discovering what allergy is causing your sinusitis. It could be the mites in your mattress or certain pollen in the air. If you just put up with your stuffy nose or sneezing that is what leads to sinusitis.<br />
<br />
<a alt="The Best Sinus Headache Relief" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vzhP45B8uJs/T3mMMjYlIyI/AAAAAAAABLg/MylTuwY_7zs/s1600/2759824962_b6fd0bb865_m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="The Best Sinus Headache Relief"><img alt="The Best Sinus Headache Relief" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vzhP45B8uJs/T3mMMjYlIyI/AAAAAAAABLg/MylTuwY_7zs/s1600/2759824962_b6fd0bb865_m.jpg" title="The Best Sinus Headache Relief" /></a>A great natural way to help your sinusitis is Vitamin C which is available in every health food that has antioxidants. Foods such as broccoli, strawberries, cauliflower and gooseberry are all excellent source of vitamin C. The citrus fruits like pineapple and oranges are also good sources. You could make some homemade lemonade with lemons or have a large bowl of tomato soup to boost you intake.<br />
<br />
Some sinus headache relief can be found with having more warm soups and decreasing the amount of cold items you eat. This can help regulate the sinuses. Regular consumption of warm water can also aid the sinuses. Another solution is steam. Using an electric steam machine or just a bowl of warm water. Adding some eucalyptus oil to the water can help its effect.<br />
<br />
Other home remedies for sinus headache relief include using the supplement Echinacea that can be taken in capsule form and is good for sinus allergies. Ginger tea and sleep are also good choices of sinus headache relief. A warm water compress on the painful head or sinus areas can also be helpful.<br />
<br />
In the last few years the use of nasal irrigation has grown in popularity. This technique can be done with what is called a neti pot, which is like a tea pot. This yogic method is very effective at cleaning out the sinus cavities. Most commonly salt water or a saline solution is used. A lot of people have found this to be the most helpful sinus headache relief.<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nc4X_tawQZA/TMWOWmPbbZI/AAAAAAAABFk/05avmJ1Amvg/s1600/Cancer_cell,+brain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nc4X_tawQZA/TMWOWmPbbZI/AAAAAAAABFk/05avmJ1Amvg/s320/Cancer_cell,+brain.jpg" width="320" /></a>The relation between poverty and ill health has been researched for more than 100 years. In Scotland, since the 1851 census, all cause occupational mortality has been routinely reported, and since 1911, inequalities in health, as shown by mortality, have been examined in decennial reports classified by social class (based on occupation) and by occupational group alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No single, generally agreed definition of deprivation exists. Deprivation is a concept that overlaps but is not synonymous with poverty. Absolute poverty can be defined as the absence of the minimum resources for physical survival, whereas relative poverty relates to the standards of living in a particular society. Deprivation includes material, social, and multiple deprivation. In Scotland the Carstairs and Morris index of deprivation was derived from 1981 census data with the postcode sector as the basic geographical unit (covering a population of about 5000). This index describes a deprivation category on a scale of 1 (least deprived) to 7 (most deprived) for each household address in Scotland.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The incidence of colorectal cancer is higher in men than women among each of the seven deprivation categories in Scotland, although incidence varies little with deprivation category. Survival, however, clearly improves with decreasing deprivation. At each milestone, there is a notable gradient in survival, with the most affluent doing best and the least affluent doing worst. The reasons that such variations exist are unclear and highlight an important priority for research.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In countries with a westernised lifestyle about half of all deaths are caused by circulatory disease and a quarter by cancer. Cancer is an important problem in both public health and political terms worldwide, irrespective of a country’s development. The most recent estimates of the global cancer burden suggest that there were 8.1 million new cases, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, worldwide in 1990. About 10 million new cases are now diagnosed each year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Colorectal cancer is the fourth commonest form of cancer occurring worldwide, with an estimated 783 000 new cases diagnosed in 1990, the most recent year for which international estimates are available. It affects men and women almost equally, with about 401 000 new cases in men annually and 381 000 in women. The number of new cases of colorectal cancer worldwide has been increasing rapidly since 1975 (when it was 500 000). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Worldwide, colorectal cancer represents 9.4% of all incident cancer in men and 10.1% in women. Colorectal cancer, however, is not equally common throughout the world. If the westernised countries (North America; those in northern, southern, and western Europe; Australasia; and New Zealand) are combined, colorectal cancer represents 12.6% of all incident cancer in westernised countries in men and 14.1% in women. Elsewhere colorectal cancer represents 7.7% and 7.9% of all incident cases in men and women respectively. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Large differences exist in survival, according to the stage of disease. It is estimated that 394 000 deaths from colorectal cancer still occur worldwide annually, and colorectal cancer is the second commonest cause of death from any cancer in men in the European Union. Substantial differences in cancer survival seem to exist between Great Britain, Europe as a whole, and the United States. This variation in survival is not easily explained but could be related to stage of disease at presentation or treatment delivery, or both of these.</div>

Many of the signs of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are similar. In both, there is too much glucose in the blood and not enough in the cells of your body. High glucose levels in Type I are due to a lack of insulin because the insulin producing cells have been destroyed. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body's cells become resistant to insulin that is being produced. Either way, your cells aren't getting the glucose that they need, and your body lets you know by giving you these signs and symptoms.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nc4X_tawQZA/TKyBM9QbyeI/AAAAAAAAA_w/RrkiZpgiyr0/s1600/sick.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nc4X_tawQZA/TKyBM9QbyeI/AAAAAAAAA_w/RrkiZpgiyr0/s320/sick.gif" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan;">Frequent trips to the bathroom:</span></b><br />
Are you visiting the bathroom much more lately? Does it seem like you urinate all day long? Urination becomes more frequent when there is too much glucose in the blood. If insulin is nonexistent or ineffective, the kidneys can't filter glucose back to the blood. They become overwhelmed and try to draw extra water out of the blood to dilute the glucose. This keeps your bladder full and it keeps you running to the bathroom.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan;">Unquenchable Thirst:</span></b><br />
If it feels like you can't get enough water and you're drinking much more than usual, it could be a sign of diabetes, especially if it seems to go hand in hand with frequent urination. If your body is pulling extra water out of your blood and you're running to the bathroom more, you will become dehydrated and feel the need to drink more to replace the water that you are losing.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan;">Losing Weight Without Trying:</span></b><br />
This symptom is more noticeable with Type 1 diabetes. In Type 1, the pancreas stops making insulin, possibly due to a viral attack on pancreas cells or because an autoimmune response makes the body attack the insulin producing cells. The body desperately looks for an energy source because the cells aren't getting glucose. It starts to break down muscle tissue and fat for energy. Type 2 happens gradually with increasing insulin resistance so weight loss is not as noticeable.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nc4X_tawQZA/TKyBj4aKwEI/AAAAAAAAA_0/5hROEaYL9lU/s1600/getty_rf_photo_overweight_boy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nc4X_tawQZA/TKyBj4aKwEI/AAAAAAAAA_0/5hROEaYL9lU/s320/getty_rf_photo_overweight_boy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan;">Weakness and Fatigue:</span></b><br />
It's that bad boy glucose again. Glucose from the food we eat travels into the bloodstream where insulin is supposed to help it transition into the cells of our body. The cells use it to produce the energy we need to live. When the insulin isn't there or if the cells don't react to it anymore, then the glucose stays outside the cells in the bloodstream. The cells become energy starved and you feel tired and run down.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan;">Tingling or Numbness in Your Hands, Legs or Feet:</span></b><br />
This symptom is called neuropathy. It occurs gradually over time as consistently high glucose in the blood damages the nervous system, particularly in the extremities. Type 2 diabetes is a gradual onset, and people are often not aware that they have it. Therefore, blood sugar might have been high for more than a few years before a diagnosis is made. Nerve damage can creep up without our knowledge. Neuropathy can very often improve when tighter blood glucose control is achieved.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan;">Other Signs and Symptoms That Can Occur:</span></b><br />
Blurred vision, skin that is dry or itchy, frequent infections or cuts and bruises that take a long time to heal are also signs that something is amiss. Again, when these signs are associated with diabetes, they are the result of high glucose levels in the body. If you notice any of the above signs, schedule an appointment with your doctor. He or she will be able to tell you if you have reason to be concerned about a diagnosis of diabetes.SyazwanJaudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00697553355404431729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016128928200399810.post-32232115872652335812010-10-03T19:38:00.000+08:002010-10-03T23:04:23.608+08:00Detox the way to good health<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nc4X_tawQZA/TKhq05vhg7I/AAAAAAAAA-U/FpsOmefClWs/s1600/detox_foot_patches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nc4X_tawQZA/TKhq05vhg7I/AAAAAAAAA-U/FpsOmefClWs/s1600/detox_foot_patches.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>WE are exposed to toxins daily, from food and water to air. They all contain toxins that can affect our health.<br />
The digestive system and liver work together to eliminate these toxins but when toxins accumulate, the organs get overloaded and the system is disrupted. When this happens, toxins will circulate in our bloodstream.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
A person who suffers from toxins has fatigue, dark puffy eyes, headaches, indigestion, allergies, skin problems, sinus problems, bad breath, cellulite constipation and weight problems. We should detox twice a year. With regular detoxification, you will enjoy increased energy and vitality. We often associate detoxification with something unpleasant, like colon cleansing or a diet of only fruit and vegetable juices. Of course, there are various types of detox/slimming tea that contains a laxative to stimulate bowel movements. But this will affect your daily lifestyle. The Juvanex 7-Day Program is an easy way to cleanse and rejuvenate. It is formulated with Total-Cleanze, a blend of all-natural ingredients comprising: Fibre: A good mix of soluble and insoluble fibre is essential as they complement each another for an effective detoxification. Soluble fibre absorbs water to form a bulky gel like a “sponge” that expands in the colon to absorb waste. Insoluble fibre, on the other hand, works like a “broom” to clean out the waste in the colon. Probiotics: It replenishes “good” bacteria in your digestive tract and inhibits growth of “bad” bacteria. Liver-cleansing herbs: A complete detox programme should include cleansing and protecting your liver. Milk thistle (protects and improves the liver function), dandelion (aids in flushing out wastes) and grape seed (great antioxidant to protect liver from everyday toxins) are effective herbs for this purpose. It is also enriched with antioxidants, nutrients and vitamins to support and nourish your body during detox. Just mix two sachets of lemon-tasting Juvanex with 400ml of water or fresh fruit juice. Take twice daily, after food, for seven days. Do not use warm or hot water. There is no need to change your diet or lifestyle! Apart from detoxification, naturopath Esther Peh offers the following advice:<br />
<br />
1. Eat a balanced diet. Have at least three servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit everyday.<br />
<br />
2. Exercise. Sweating gets rid of toxic wastes through the skin. Regular exercise also improves metabolism. However, exercise can increase toxic production, so make sure you get enough antioxidants, adequate fluids, and vitamins.<br />
<br />
3. Rest: When you rest, your body and mind are in a balanced state. Practicing yoga will help you obtain a more balanced and active aura.SyazwanJaudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00697553355404431729noreply@blogger.com0
