Mesothelioma: A Deadly Lung Cancer

By Greg. Gardner

Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer of the lungs and the abdominal cavities. Unlike other diseases, the cause of mesothelioma is not natural. In most of the cases, it is a cancer of lungs inflicted on the human beings by the modern economic factors, which are also credited to bring prosperity to the corporate world.

The disease has left many dead and many more fighting for the failing health. The common symptoms related to the disease are breathlessness, dry cough and pain in the respiratory tracts followed by vomiting. The prime Cause of mesothelioma is the exposure to asbestos.

What Are The Factors Responsible For The Celiac Disease?

By Conlisk Diso

There are many causes of celiac disease that force the patients to have gluten free diet. The reasons of celiac disease is the reaction that takes place between the immune system of body and villi (millions of lined up fingers like projections) which interferes with the body's power of absorbing vital nutrients and minerals. This forces the patients to avoid the intake of gluten as they may face severe repercussions because of them. Severe diarrhea is the disease celiac patients suffer from due to the intake of gluten which is found in wheat, rye and barley.

The main cause of celiac disease is the obliteration of the inside layer of the small intestine. This destruction is caused due to the immunological reaction of gluten in diet resulting in the inflammation and destruction the inner lining of the small intestine. Researches have shown that this reaction is because of various genes inherited from parents by children.

Cholesterol: The Advantages And Disadvantages

By Christian Goodman

Many people show interest to their cholesterol amount and want to know why? It is not just the improper blood pressure contents and diet causes, there is more to it. Does that give nice benefits or safe? Whether it is necessary for daily living?

The superior Cholesterol

There are two kinds of cholesterol such as one that giving advantages and the other giving disadvantages. It is called as lipoprotein which has solid density levels for the generation of good cholesterol contents flowing from arteries till the liver to destroy the unnecessary cholesterol amounts. The contents also minimize arterial plaque grouped with cholesterol.

It decreases the fear of heart attacks and its linked symptoms by destroying the fats in the artery. It is termed as "reverse cholesterol pathway".

The harmless cholesterol is generated from our body. So the amounts could be enlarged by making alterations to the way of living and with the support of some sort of food. Soluble fiber food such as grains which has Omega 3 benefits to develop nice cholesterol.

The dreadful Cholesterol

Often the people from west die due to Atherosclerosis. The reason is the cholesterol plaque that turns the arteries into solids. The increased cholesterol contents of LDL type are due to these plaques growth and their tendency to combine together.

The worst cholesterol is thus generalized as LDL type. Calling it as worst is not without reasons.

They are called so because they are the reasons for creating more chances for the coronary heart disease and many others. It is the only reason for asking the people to reduce the LDL lipoprotein content when they are found having high tension symptoms.

Equally, the body also creates terrible cholesterol. Whatever, panic does nothing and in fact this can be solved by dropping the terrible cholesterol amounts. It all depends on the exact kind of food with a call for a good way of living.

The unpleasant Truth

It has been proven by facts. There is no consideration to the worst cholesterol contents now a days and it results in high threats to the people with the chances of heart damages. It is to be noted not all cholesterol is worse.

It gives lots of force to the body that is why it is very vital to our body and many other reasons are there. It also ends up in terrible environment when the amounts go very lofty.

The surplus amounts of cholesterol cannot be found because it doesn't do any damage firstly. Anticipation and security against dreadful foods is what required.

Never delay till something happens and when you are taken for healing or till you take pricey drug. Sustain your exact essential amounts of cholesterol as expected by having a superior diet and by doing some physical exercises.

Avoid Dying Of Heart Failure Use COQ10

By Dan Keating

The study above was published in 2008 in American Cardiology a leading medical magazine. It is therefore surprising that many, many cardiologists have yet to recommend COQ10 to their patients. One of the main drugs recommended by cardiologists are the statin family of drugs. These statin drugs have been shown in study after study to reduce COQ10 levels to below optimal levels in nearly every patient that takes them. The statin drugs are taken by millions and millions of people to reduce death by heart attacks. However, in doing this they are reducing levels of COQ10 and very possibly causing deaths by heart failure. Coenzyme q10 is also beneficial in reducing inflammation one of the root causes of disease.

If you do not already have a diagnosis of heart failure testing your blood for your coenzyme q10 level is going to be expensive and may be unnecessary. But even without testing you can be pretty sure if you are 65 or older you have less that optimal levels and should consider taking coenzyme q10 for the rest of your life according to Dr Rowan MD a leader in natural medicine.

If you are already suffering with heart failure you can get a blood test which will give you your exact level. However it is expensive so if you do not yet have symptoms according to this study you have a better than average chance of having low Coq10 levels. You could bypass the expense of the test and just start taking a very high quality coenzyme q10 supplement.

Testing for Coq10 levels is pretty expensive so it is usually recommended only for those who already have a diagnosis of this disease. It seems prudent for people over the age of 65 to spend their money on coq10 supplements. As we age our coq10 production capability drops and the only source of coq10 in large enough amounts is supplements.

This is particularly true of the millions and millions of people who take statin drugs every day. You see statin drugs reduce the level of coenzyme q10 in your blood stream. This fact has been shown in study after study. Couple this with as you age your production of coq10 drops making people over 65 even more at risk.

Recent research followed 236 patients with chronic heart failure. The information from the study discovered that the patients' level of CoQ10 in their plasma was an independent predictor of mortality. They followed the patients for an average 2.7 years. Their median CoQ10 levels during that time were 0.68 mumol/l. That's much lower than the optimal level of 0.73.

Conquer Your Incontinence With Confidence Boosters

By Chris Channing

Everyone has something that sets them apart from others. Something that, if everyone knew, they would be mortified without the proper confidence. It may just be that you have an incontinence problem. It's not a big deal, and it's more of a task of coping and understanding.

Staying healthy requires going to the gym, or at least getting some form of regular exercise. In the case of going to the gym, you might be tempted to cancel your membership if you are afraid of having an accident on the floor. Just learn to eat and consume fluid at the right times. Don't get dehydrated: you must still drink fluids, but just know when your body is expected to expel them. Know your body, and the gym isn't so scary.

Entertainment isn't so entertaining when you are wishing the whole time that it will be over. Being caught in the movie cinema with the burning thought of going to the bathroom or worrying about a leak can be devastating. Don't put yourself through this! Much like the gym, you must know your body. Go to the bathroom before the movie even if you don't think that you need to. Everyone, not just you, needs a bathroom break during movies.

Younger Skin Means Healthy Skin

By Addie Davison

Your beautiful skin starts with a healthy skin!

As you nourish your body you have to nourish your skin too!.

The skin needs minerals, vitamins, essential aminoacids, essential fatty acids, enzymes and plenty of water. Each element is extremely important for your skin. They help each other building the metabolic reactions necessary for your skin to naturally synthesize collagen and elastin.

A younger skin means that the skin is continuously synthesize collagen and elastin, reducing wrinkles and preventing other wrinkles to appear.

A depletion of one element can block one or many metabolic reactions. No wonder that one or two active ingredients for an anti aging cream is not enough. More than that: you can apply for example creams with Hyaluronic acid, an anti aging ingredient, over and over again. These creams will be at the beginning active, if you have other constituents necessary to start metabolic reactions for your skin benefit. Then, the acid will be stocked into your skin cell. From there, is only a step to skin disorders. Sooner or later, your skin will be dried and aged. These creams I called "lifeless" creams. They are in my opinion creams without cell building power. These creams begin and end nowhere because they do not really nourish your skin and have no power to push your skin to naturally synthesize necessary collagen and elastin for a long period of time.

If you believe in these magic anti aging creams with an extraordinary cutting age technology ingredient, then, you should think over. Rather than spend a fortune to alternate those "one active ingredient" creams to reach a certain level of metabolic equilibrium, you can simply go for really natural formulations, which contain at a glance everything your skin and beauty need. A plant extract may contain not only natural flavonoids (antioxidants) but minerals and vitamins. A cold pressed vegetable oil not only has its natural saturated fat, so necessary for building up steps for the skin metabolic reactions, but also antioxidants and liposoluble vitamins such as: vitamin A, D and E.

In conclusion: If you want to have a younger skin, go for a healthy skin regimen. You may not get the results you want it, within a week but you definitely you will get it for all your life.

Anti Aging Skin Care - Vital Tips On How To Prevent Aging Naturally

By Addie Davison

The process of aging is a natural process. However, your skin's aging can be significantly reduced with the proper prevention methods and natural skin care techniques.

The major factor in our skin prematurely aging is photo damage (sun damage). The sun damage you might see on your face today might have started 30 years ago. When it comes to sun damage prevention is the best cure.

Tips to prevent photo damage:

* Wear a high SPF factor sunscreen daily on your face and neck. Make sure it's UV A & B
* Wear a hat whenever you venture outside; even on small walks
* Wear make-up that contains SPF 15 or more
* Don't sun bathe

We hear a lot about "free radicals" these days. Free radicals are unstable molecules produced from air pollution, radiation, and chemicals you can find in just about anything. They are also caused by fatty diets. These free radicals can seriously toll your system and they are notorious for causing premature aging.

Tips to prevent Free Radical damage:

* Increase your intake of antioxidants like Vitamin A and E
* Eat a diet high in cblueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or any fruits/berries with bright colors
* Use anti aging skin care products that contain Acai (very high in anti oxidants)

Using an anti aging skin care cream that contains anti oxidants can significantly reduce the amount of chemical substances you absorb into your skin through everyday, environmental exposure (pollution, etc). which, in turn will turn the hands of time back on your facial skin.

Tips to prevent absorbing chemicals through the skin:

* Use anti aging skin care products high in anti oxidants
* Wash your face morning and night and apply a high quality anti wrinkle cream

Dehydration is another factor in premature aging. Most people don't drink enough water to maintain a healthy body. 8 glasses of water a day is recommended.

Tips to ensure you drink enough water:

* Put 4 rubber bands on your bottle of water (assuming it's around 16oz). Remove one band every time you empty the bottle. When you have removed all the bands, you've supplied your body with enough water for the day.

Enough emphasis cannot be put on the importance of using a high quality anti aging skin care cream. Unfortunately, most anti wrinkle creams on the market are not what they claim to be. The majority of anti aging brands, big and small, spend more effort on fancy packaging than they do anti aging research.

Too Much Of A Good Thing May NOT Be A Good Thing When Dealing With Antioxidants.

By Michael Pritsker

Popular belief is that antioxidants prevent heart, Parkinson's And Alzheimer's Disease. Some research shows that too much may cause one of these dreaded diseases. It's a very popular and believable theory, mainly because it makes sense. It has also given hope to many people in search of ways to enhance and extend their lives naturally. And let's not forget, it's profitable for many professionals. Patients regularly ask us at the chiropractic office at New Century Spine Centers in San Diego which supplements to take.

What we are referring to is the belief that taking antioxidants is good for you. Many believe they can prevent such diseases as heart, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. A study published in the August 10th issue of Cell sheds new light on this claim. It says that too much of a certain antioxidant may even cause heart disease in the long run.

To make sense of all this, let's talk about... How Antioxidants Are Thought To Work... Heart, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other deadly diseases are associated with oxidative stress, in which "free radical" molecules are produced in reaction to oxygen intake. Free radicals travel the body, triggering chemical reactions that damage proteins causing them to form aggregates. It is believed that antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E (and many others), offer health-promoting benefits by protecting against damaging free radicals. That's why many people take antioxidants to prevent heart and other protein-aggregate diseases.

In a study on laboratory mice, University of Utah researchers (Ivor J. Benjamin, M.D. and Christi T. Smith Chair of Cardiovascular Research, division chief of cardiology at the Utah School of Medicine) found that an overload of natural antioxidants could actually lead to heart failure.

Excessive levels of reduced glutathione can cause reductive stress. Glutathione is one of your body's most powerful antioxidants. When your cells work properly, they produce just the right amount of reduced glutathione. This is healthy for your body. In some people, a mutated gene can disrupt the fine balance. This causes the cells to produce too much glutathione.

There was a study done with laboratory mice with failing hearts caused by mutant alpha B-Crystallin. Researchers found increased activity of the biochemical pathway leading to high levels of reduced glutathione in the animals. Glutathione is regulated at multiple steps. It is primarily regulated by the G6PD enzyme. To establish the connection between reduced glutathione and heart failure, the researchers mated mutant alpha B-Crystallin mice that carried too much G6PD with mice that had far lower levels.

The resulting offspring had normal levels of reduced glutathione and did not develop heart failure. The researchers found that by lowering the level of reduced glutathione in mice with failing hearts, they were able to increase their rate of survival dramatically. "Lowering the level of reduced glutathione dramatically changed the survival of these mice," Benjamin said. "Basically, we prevented them from getting heart failure." Benjamin also added that although many people take antioxidants to prevent heart and other protein-aggregate diseases, there actually is scant evidence to prove they work. And that, "This is a case of too much of a good thing."

This field of medicine has not appreciated reductive stress and its influence on disease. This is about balance needed in the environment of the cells in our body. It can have profound consequences on the treatment of heart disease and other grave disorders.

This just shows how too much of a good thing can possibly be a bad thing. This is a concept that is misunderstood by most of the population. This probably leads to many health problems in many individuals. Many have a skewed concept of how the body functions and what exactly optimal performance or optimal health truly is.

For example, let's take performance. Many athletes are constantly trying to boost performance with supplementation. Some natural (and legal) other synthetic and usually illegal. Some athletes take anabolic steroids to boost performance. Steroids such as testosterone - help build muscle, strength and reduce recovery time. And they naturally occur in your body for these and many other purposes.

And naturally occurring steroids are good for you. So... if naturally occurring steroids do these good things for you - increasing their levels will do more good things for you. And it is true - athletes that take the right steroids, increase their athletic performance. And increase it a great deal.

However, this is not OPTIMAL performance. This is PATHOLOGICAL performance. Here's why: Optimal performance is when your body is functioning at the highest level for your given genetic potential. Anything beyond that is ABNORMAL. Therefore PATHOLOGICAL.

It's the same "too much of a good thing" Dr. Benjamin is referring to above. And, it's the same as far as antioxidants are concerned. It makes complete sense that the proper level of antioxidants is good for you. And they probably help fight disease such as heart, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Too many approach the use of natural supplements like the athlete approaches the use of steroids. If a little is good - a lot is better. Know this: There is a perfect balance in your body where everything functions at 100% of your genetic potential. More is not better - it is worse. And as the study mentioned in this article demonstrated, too much of a good thing can be...Poison!

This is why choosing and taking supplements (of any kind) is much more involved than going into GNC and aimlessly picking a bunch that are popular or sound good. The old (and uneducated) belief that supplements can't hurt you because they are natural is false. Snake venom is natural. So is mercury. Some of the most dangerous substances in the world are natural. The supplements you take should depend on your diet and the particular needs of your body.

What To Consider Regarding San Antonio Weight Loss Surgery

By Iris K. Macias

When you have a serious weight issue, physical exercise and proper dieting might not truly be sufficient to help you attain an ideal and wholesome weight. San Antonio weight loss surgery is something that people who suffer from morbid obesity, Texas included, consider in order for them to accomplish their desired weight.

Weight loss surgery San Antonio has a popularity that's expanded over the years as the number of people struggling with obesity Texas has also increased. Obesity is not something based on what the community dictates as the best weight. Obesity only denotes that a person has an overly excessive amount of body fat which is hazardous and can be quite bad for a person's health and standard of living.

For those who are new to the concept of obesity and do not fully understand it, they're quick to blame the patient and make accusations that the uncontrolled weight gain is caused by the not enough activity, laziness and excessive eating. While it is a fact that an individual is supposed to keep a healthy diet plan and carry out regular exercise to keep healthy, not doing this is not automatically the only cause of an individual being fat. If you have long battled being overweight, it is a situation that is generally associated with either a hereditary quirk or physiological dysfunction. Obesity is a chronic disease that is caused by a lots of genetic, psychological, metabolic, and social and lifestyle factors. This sheds light on the fact that occasionally medical intervention such as Texas bariatric San Antonio surgery and other areas, is required, particularly if one person aspires to triumph over illnesses that have plenty of health hazards.

Yet this does not always imply that undergoing San Antonio weight loss surgery is an option for everyone who is keen to get rid of unwanted pounds. Texas bariatric San Antonio surgery is only conducted specifically for those patients who are suffering from morbid obesity. As a matter of fact, these patients don't easily gain their physician's permission not until they've tried and exhausted every possible means to reduce their weight. What this means is only men and women who are over 100 pounds overweight are regarded as candidates for weight loss surgery San Antonio and other places.

It is also important to understand that undergoing San Antonio weight loss surgery will not instantly give you the body and weight that you are dreaming to possess. It must be comprehended that the good results of the treatment is in fact determined post operative. A person will have to undergo an extensive lifestyle and eating habits overhaul to make sure that he did not waste time and money undergoing the surgery to begin with. This means that the patient, after the operation, should follow a strict diet (still) and not eat more than their new stomach's volume can cope with. It is also important that the patient consume plenty of water to avoid dehydration and continue performing regular exercises. They must also quickly accept the changes and adjustments which are required following the surgery.

Significance Of Halal Labels On Food And Eateries

By Tristan West
Many of us have encountered the term "halal," but not many of us know what it signifies. Halal can be seen on food marks and restaurants. The term is important for our Muslim pals as it indicates what is allowed for them to eat by their Islamic dietary law. In a country with residents of different religions, the term halal is very important.

Muslims in Islamic nations don't have problems eating in halal eateries and picking up halal products as most likely than not, they are halal-certified. But for those who are in areas that have various religious groups, halal is not as rampant as they would like. Good thing that more establishments are now becoming aware of their customer's preferences.

Eating Healthier After-Dinner Desserts

By Jeremiah Richardson

You know you want it. But for some reasons, you just can't. Desserts are truly enticing just by looking at it. How much more enticing it can be if you sink your teeth into its soft, succulent, dark cake? The downside of eating those rich desserts is that it would surely ruin your hard work at the gym. You then wonder, is there a way you can eat desserts without gaining pounds on the weighing scale?

Well, you can and you cannot.

The answer is vague because there's no specific answer. What works for some wouldn't work for the others. If there are those who can eat a whole slice of fruit tart without worrying the fat on his/her thighs, there are those who aren't so lucky. But for those who adore dessert so much, that is not enough. So to give us dessert lovers a little peace of mind, since we just can't shun them as much as we would like to, let's try to make desserts a little healthier for us.

To start with, have an organic meal. If you are expecting a sinfully sweet dessert later on, start with something healthy to cut your guilt feelings. If you are going to have a fattening dessert, then cut down the calories on your meal.

Pile up your desserts with healthy ingredients. Instead of all bad-for-your sweets, add some fruits to balance the healthy factors. But if you are buying instead of making, then read look for those with healthy ingredients and search those with "low fat," low calorie," no calorie" etc. on the tags.

Eat desserts in little portions. Those mini cakes you see in high-end bakeshops and restaurants are just the right size. You don't need to supersize your dessert, a moderate portion will be enough.

Finally, have those sinful sweets only during special affairs. I'm not saying that you should totally banish desserts during common days, but save those really unhealthy but chocolatey and calorific ones during special days. It would just make special affairs more special. During common days, prefer desserts that doesn't pose dangers to your health, like fruits in parfait or yogurt and fruit salad. They still have the goodness and sweetness of desserts without the guilt trip.

Just like a good tome, a meal isn't finished without a sweet ending. You may have just had the heartiest feast in your life or the not-so-special dinner, but a meal isn't done without desserts.

Newport Beach Brow Lift Advisement

By Susan Walker

Read This if You Live Near Newport Beach, and Want a Brow

A new progression is clutching the plastic surgery domain by storm and it is based on current techniques and concepts of how we estimate beauty and facial regeneration. Dr. Renato Calabria of VerticalFacelift.com calls it the "deflation theory".

In the face, the aging course causes diminution of the skin and basil layers while the effect of gravity cause the facial tissues to languish in a perpendicular direction creating excessive skin and "jowls".

The conclusion is a consummate disappearance of volume of the face (the deflation effect) and an analogous shift of bulk from certain areas of the face to other, lowering the desirableness of areas such as the nasolabial fold, the jaw line, the areas beneath the eyes and the neck.

Established cosmetic procedures attempts to right the situation by pulling in an abnormal, flanking direction, producing the so-called "wind blown look". Also everyday facelifts create a flattening effect on the face because of pulling the skin tight.

Read This if You Live Near Newport Beach, and Want a Brow

Therefore facial reinvigoration has been troubled for decades by two major aberrations: askew direction of the pull vector, (lateral vs vertical) and bidimensional, skin-only, (flattening) approach.

When you view how Botticelli painted Simonetta Vespucci in his Primavera's, you can appreciate the "volume theory" of a young, beautiful face: basically, aging equals volume loss and the principal goal of facial surgery should be to reconstitute the lost bulk.

The vertical facelift was developed in the same way Botticelli composed his paintings: thinking in a 3D style by restoring volume and, therefore, youthful shape and attraction.

Procedure planning is substantial: carefully analyzing images of the patient in their 20's and 30's with images of them before surgery emanates into the guide book for their rejuvenation procedure.

The advent of new, state of the art, endoscopic technology which allowed us to minimize scars with minimally invasive Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach and Palm Springs, California facelift procedures.

Cameras adhered to scopes, instituted through tiny cuts project magnified video to our operating room TVs, thereby permitting us to access crucial regions of the face, with specially designed instruments, and modify and shape underlying tissues according to our aesthetic needs.

Using similar technology, the vertical face lift is performed. An unnoticeable incision is made in the hairline and mouth. Sutures are tentatively placed in a space that suspends and adjusts the facial contour vertically, maximizing a becoming appearance.

Because this method achieves its success with less swelling and bruising, and eliminating noticeable scars, after surgery healing is usually less than one week. This approach is suitable for those who've had previous facelifts that look unnatural or wind blow.

So You Live Near Newport Beach, and Want a Brow?

Due to the absence of scars, this procedure is popular among younger patients as it is less invasive. For older patients the vertical facelift is integrated with an endoscopic neck lift to rid the excessive skin on the neck.

Restoring volume in cheeks and nasolabial fold, via fat mecrografting, is achieved with an endoscopic brow lift. The finished product is a soft, natural, youthful look, with restored volume.

This technique is a combination or evolution of other methods. Dr. Renato Calabria would like to acknowledge the other minds whose thinking has stimulated him the most: Bill Little, M.D., Steve Hoefflin, M.D., Oscar Ramirez M.D., Sam Hamra, M.D. and Sherrell Aston, M.D.

Beat the Summer Heat with Crock Pot Cooking

When the weather outside warms up, the kitchen can be a terrible place to be. There are many things you can do however, when it comes to cooking a nice home made meal that doesn't require traditional stove top or oven cooking. Learn to utilize some of the lesser heat producing equipment in your kitchen, such as the crock pot, in order to truly beat the summer heat and keep your cool while preparing a nice hot meal for friends and family.

So, how does crock pot cooking really help beat the heat? Simply put, the crock pot in and of itself puts off far less heat when cooking than an oven or stove top. This is the first and possibly the best reason to utilize the crock pot in your summer meal planning. You should also consider the fact that by not heating the house by using your stove top or oven you are also preventing your air conditioning (or other cooling methods) from working overtime in order to compensate for the additional heat that other cooking methods introduce.

ABC OF SOUP MAKING.

Lean, juicy beef, mutton, and veal, form the basis of all good soups; therefore it is advisable to procure those pieces which afford the richest succulence, and such as are fresh-killed. Stale meat renders them bad, and fat is not so well adapted for making them. The principal art in composing good rich soup, is so to proportion the several ingredients that the flavour of one shall not predominate over another, and that all the articles of which it is composed, shall form an agreeable whole. To accomplish this, care must be taken that the roots and herbs are perfectly well cleaned, and that the water is proportioned to the quantity of meat and other ingredients. Generally a quart of water may be allowed to a pound of meat for soups, and half the quantity for gravies.
