Subject: PASS THE BUTTER muradalibana
Send Email

This is a MUST read if you have heart problems, and if you don't then even better as it will just maybe help keep you from getting them.

From : Dr. Sara Reynolds
Pass the butter ~ ~ ~ ~ This is interesting.

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.

DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?

Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

Both have the same amount of calories.

Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.

Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.

Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.

Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!

Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.

Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

And now, for Margarine..

Very high in trans fatty acids.

Triple risk of coronary heart disease.

Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)

Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.

Lowers quality of breast milk.

Decreases immune response.

Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS! VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..

This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:

Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:

* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)

* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Tips For Night Driving

Safety Tips Traffic death rates are three times greater at night than during the day, yet many of us are unaware of night Driving's special hazards or don't know effective ways to deal with them.

Driving at night is more dangerous than during the day. One of the obvious reasons is darkness. Ninety percent of a driver's reaction depends on vision, and vision is severely limited at night. Depth perception, color recognition and peripheral vision are compromised after sundown.

Fatigue also adds to the danger of night driving. Drowsiness makes driving more difficult by dulling concentration and slowing reaction time.

Alcohol is the single most significant factor in fatal traffic crashes, playing a part in more than half of all motor vehicle-related deaths. That makes weekend nights more dangerous. More fatal crashes take place on Friday and Saturday nights than at any other time in the week.

Effective measures to minimize these after-dark dangers can be taken by preparing your car and following special guidelines while you drive:

Don't drink and drive. Not only does alcohol severely impair your driving ability, but it also acts as a depressant. Just one drink can induce fatigue. Avoid smoking when you drive. Smoke's nicotine and carbon monoxide hamper night vision. Turn your headlights on if there are any doubts. Lights will not help you see better in early twilight, but they'll make it easier for other drivers to see you. Being seen is as important as seeing.

Reduce your speed and increase your following distances. It is more difficult to judge other vehicle's speeds and distances at night.

Don't overdrive your headlights. You should be able to stop inside the illuminated area. If you're not, you are creating a blind crash area in front of your vehicle.

Keep your headlights on low beams when following another vehicle so you don't blind the driver ahead of you.

If an oncoming vehicle doesn't lower beams from high to low, avoid glare by watching the right edge of the road and using it as a steering guide.

Make frequent stops for light snacks and exercise. If you're too tired to drive, stop and get rest.

If you have car trouble, pull off the road as far as possible. Warn approaching traffic at once by setting up flares or reflecting triangles near your vehicle and 300 feet behind it. Turn on flashers and the dome light.

Observe night driving safety as soon as the sun goes down. As your eyes are adapting to the constant change in amount of light, twilight is one of the most difficult times to drive.

The shorter the gap between your children, the less their mental development, says Aga Khan University study

Study urges Pakistani families to �stop kidding around�

* The shorter the gap between your children, the less their mental development, says AKU study
* The larger the joint family, the smarter the children
* However the larger the joint family, the more strain on the mother

Daily Times Monitor

KARACHI: A recent study into the intellectual development of children in Karachi has discovered three important things: If you have your children quickly one after another their mental development, especially of the younger ones, is less than if you space your children out. The intellectual development of children benefits greatly from a joint family system in which many aunts, uncles and grandparents are available for daily interaction. However, the more children you have, the less their intellectual development is.

The average family size in the study was 5.75 persons with a mean birth interval of 1.78 years. The study appeared as an article titled �The role of family configuration in early childhood intellectual development in the context of an extended family system in Pakistan� in the Journal of Postgraduate Medicine this January.

Social environment plays an important role in the mental development of a child. But these issues have largely been ignored in South Asian countries and factors identified as a hurdle to development have mostly been identified in western contexts. Due to a lack of local theories, Western theories on child mental development are used in South Asian countries including Pakistan, despite the unique social circumstances in these countries.

Woman to Woman Relationships at Some Schools

Hayat Kharbash, Arab News

http://www.arabnews .com/?page= 1&section=0&article=92480&d=21&m=2&y=2007

ABHA, 21 February 2007 � In a scene that many would describe as disgusting and contrary to the religious and cultural traditions of the Kingdom, sitting intimately in a corner of a classroom at a high school in Abha is Fawziya and Uhoud � two young female �lovers.� The two girls speak romantically and exchange kisses in a relationship that is forbidden in Islam. Fawziya is in the final year of high school. She is engaged to a man and will be getting married in summer after graduation.

�I�m not bothered what people at school say about me. I�m just looking for an emotional relationship and I found that in Uhoud,� said Fawziya, adding that having love and feeling is the key to life. �My relationship with my family isn�t very good and I don�t get the love and attention that I should be getting from them. My family is very disconnected and there are a lot of family problems,� she said, adding that she is not paying much attention to her coming marriage. Rather she says her attention is fixed on Uhoud.

Uhoud, on the other hand, feels similarly and also pays very little attention to other students who frown at her relationship with Fawziya.

Fawziya and Uhoud�s affair is not an isolated one. There are other girls involved in similar romances. Reem and Nura is one such couple, whose relationship began with a smile and an exchange of gifts. The relationship grew stronger and now both find it difficult to separate from each other. Their love for each other is so intense that Nura cried for Reem just before the beginning of the midterm seven-day school holidays.

There are other examples of such relationships blooming behind the walls of schools run by the Education Ministry. Sawsan Al-Ghamdi, a college student, said that the college squares, where students take breaks, have �lovers� corners� where girls kiss and hug each other. �What is surprising is that there was a married girl in her seventh month of pregnancy who was pursuing other girls to satisfy her sexual needs. Administration at colleges do carry out random inspections to prevent such behavior from happening,� said Al-Ghamdi.

Aisha Al-Qahtani, a student of Arabic language at the College of Education in Abha, said that she feels shocked at what she sees sometimes happening in colleges. Al-Qahtani said that some relationships develop into becoming very intimate. �I blame a lack of awareness among families toward their daughters,� she said.

Such relationships are strongly objected to, especially by students from religious backgrounds. Religious observant students refuse to accept that sort of behavior. When they see couples sitting intimately together they disturb them by talking to them, giving them positive advice and letting them know that such behavior is wrong.

An Asir Education Department source said that the ministry has not outlined punishment for students who are caught in such relationships and added that the problem is not a new one and that it exists in other countries as well.

�A student who is not receiving enough love and care from her family tends to look for love in other students. At first she will admire a girl�s clothes or living standards. After that the relationship deepens and they exchange gifts and perfume to express their admiration for each other,� she said.

Latifa Saleh, a social specialist in Abha, has received at least 10 cases involving girls having strong feelings for other girls. In a phone interview with Arab News, she said that same gender relationships are quite old and that they had become isolated to recently resurface again.

�Families do not pay enough attention to their daughters. Such girls need help and treatment. This is a growing problem that we are now seeing in our schools and colleges,� she said, adding that school administrators need to address the problem and speak to individuals involved. �If that doesn�t work, then they should be transferred to a specialist for treatment.�

Woman preacher Layla Mahran said that such relationships can potentially develop further and become physically intimate. �They are against Islam and considered to be sexually perverse. The relationship between a man and a woman is considered normal and I am talking about marriage here because that is part of human nature. The relationship between a man and a man or a woman and a woman is frowned upon by our religion and considered a big sin.�

Mahran added that the problem is beginning to spread and said that she knows of a teacher who resigned because she was against some of the stuff that was happening inside the high school where she worked.

How to Cope with Job Related Stress?
By: Hifzur Rehman

No doubt, a job is always stressful. The more you are in a responsible
position, the more stress you are supposed to take. Accepting new
challenges, meeting tight deadlines, working for long hours and day to
day hassles, make the body vulnerable to serious ailments. Stress
badly disrupts the body's ability to process glucose, leading to
diabetes. Stress is also responsible for the thickness of arteries
thus developing cardio vascular diseases and high blood pressure.

The job related stress is there and we cannot get rid of it
altogether. However, we can minimize it as far as possible by changing
our attitude to work and adopting a healthy life style. (Drinking a
dozen cups of coffee and smoking three packets of cigarettes a day is
not the proper way of coping with the stress).

Enjoy Your Work

The work is not play but you can make yourself believe that the work
you are doing is giving you full enjoyment as if you are busy playing
an interesting game. Meeting a deadline is indeed stressful but it
also gives you the much needed confidence that you are capable enough
to meet any deadline. Accepting a new challenge is often stressful but
can also be rewarding if you take it as an opportunity to show your
hidden talents. The more you enjoy your work the more you get rid of
yourself from the negative effects of work related stress.

Establish Good Relationship with Colleagues

In any organization, most job related stress is due to the
ill-attitude of subordinates and colleagues. This ugly scene creates
unnecessary hurdles in the smooth functioning of work. It is,
therefore, utmost necessary for you to create a friendly atmosphere in
the office as far as possible. In a pleasant environment it is
possible to get the cooperation of others for your work done properly
with full concentration without unnecessary interruption from others.
In this way your work stress will be minimized, your working
efficiency will be increased and so the chances of your promotion to
the next higher level. So think of improving your relations with your
subordinates and colleagues.

Take a Nap

During lunch hours, take a five to ten minutes nap with your eyes
closed and body fully relaxed while lying or sitting on a sofa or a
comfortable seat. This is a great stress reliever. I want to tell you
that this short nap would have magical effects on your mind and body.
This not only relaxes your inner and outer muscles but also gives you
the vital energy sufficient enough to keep you working for another
couple of hours!

Eat Well

Most of us are not in the habit of eating well. Normally we take high
fat, high sugar, high carbohydrate or greasy fast foods which
certainly lack essential vitamins and minerals. At least 50 percent of
our diet should consist of raw fruits and vegetables. Some
nutritionists advise to take five servings of vegetables and two
servings of fruit daily. If you keep on sitting for long hours in the
office, it is necessary to take light but nourishing food to keep you
active and mentally alert during work. Fresh fruits also have soothing
effects on the stressful bodies.

Drink Plenty of Water

Always keep a bottle of pure natural water on your table. Instead of
taking frequent cups of tea or coffee why not drink plain water. Each
and every cell of the body need water for nourishment and for flushing
out the unwanted wastes from the body. Drinking too little water can
result in severe constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, urinary
infections, dry coughs, and headaches. Drinking plenty of water is the
answer to many stressful ailments.

Exercise Regularly

Some kind of physical activity, walking, cycling, swimming, aerobics
or yoga, is necessary to keep yourself physically fit and mentally
relaxed. You can do exercise in the morning or evening as you find
time. At least a 20 minute workout is necessary to keep yourself
healthy and in shape. The more time you give to physical activity the
more rewarding and stress relieving.

6 Keys to Successful Parenting

An Open Letter From Every Child

By Helene Rothschild

Print This Page

Dear Mom, Dad or Guardian,

I love you, and I know that you want to be the best parent that you can be. I am very sensitive, and I can feel your warmth, your caring, and your heart�s desire to see me happy, healthy and successful in all areas of my life.

I first want to thank you for being my parent; for giving birth to me and providing for my physical needs--food, clothing, and a home. Without you, I wouldn�t be able to survive. Thank you for all the wonderful things you do for me. I am pleased and grateful that you are choosing to be there for me.

I understand how difficult parenting can be--I did not arrive with instructions. I know that you always do your best with the information that you have. You basically learned how to parent from your parents, and they did from theirs and so on down through the generations. Unless I learn other ways, I�ll probably teach my children what you share with me.

To make your job easier and to help you and I reach our goals, I want to give you the gift of telling you what I want and need. With healthy guidelines we can both experience joy, fulfillment, success and harmony.

Thank you for your openness and your love. The following messages come from my heart:

Please...

Understand that I am growing up and changing very fast. It must be difficult to keep pace with me, but please try.
Reward me for telling the truth. Then I am not frightened into lying.
Tell me when you make mistakes and what you learned from them. That helps me accept that I am okay, even when I blunder.
Pay attention to me and spend time with me. That helps me believe that I am important and worthwhile.
Take responsibility for all your feelings and actions. That will help me not blame others and take responsibility for my life.
Communicate what you feel hurt or frightened about when you're angry at me. That will help me feel I'm a good person, and learn how to constructively deal with my feelings.

Thank you for hearing me. I love you!

Subject: Weekend Hospital Admission Increases Fatality Risk Of Stroke muradalibana
Send Email

Canadian scientists have found that ischemic stroke sufferers are more likely to die within seven days of admission if they are admitted to hospital at the weekend than during the week.

However, they do not want this news to cause delayed admissions. Their message to patients, carers and health professionals is to get the stroke patient into an appropriate hospital as soon as possible since the race against time is the greatest priority.

The study is published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.

The research team was led by Dr Gustavo Saposnik assistant professor of medicine and director of the Stroke Research Unit Division of Neurology at the University of Toronto and also a staff neurologist at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.

Dr Saposnik and colleagues looked at data from all ischemic stroke hospital admissions in Canada between April 2003 and March 2004. They took the data from the national Hospital Morbidity Database which includes sociodemographic, administrative, care and diagnostic data from all of Canada's acute care centres, including rural and urban, teaching and non-teaching, small and large communities.

During the year, 26,676 patients were admitted to 606 hospitals with ischemic stroke. And of these, nearly 25 per cent were admitted on a Saturday or a Sunday.

There was a slight age and gender difference between the two groups. Patients admitted at the weekend were on average 75 years old and more likely to be male, while those admitted on a weekday were on average 74 years old.

When they took into account the effect of age, gender, and medical complications unrelated to the stroke condition, the scientists found that patients admitted on a Saturday or Sunday had a 14 per cent higher risk of dying within seven days than patients admitted on a weekday.

They also found the risk was different for different settings. For instance, admission to a rural as opposed to an urban hospital carried an even higher death risk from weekend admission and when the doctor in charge was a general practitioner and not a specialist.

Weekend death rates were also different for non-teaching hospitals and when patients spent time in the intensive care unit.

Patients admitted on a Saturday or Sunday were also less likely to be discharged to go home.

These factors appear to be unmodifiable contributors from the patient's side said the research team. "This seems to be a 'natural' phenomenon in health care, even in Canada with universal, government-funded health insurance with no co-payments, " said Dr Saposnik.

Dr Saposnik and his team suggested that unequal distribution of expertise, resources and staff between weekday and weekend might be one explanation.

"The weekend effect" as it is called has been studied before in connection with cancer and pulmonary embolism, but not on stroke.

Ischemic stroke, which is the most common type of stroke, is when an artery in the brain or leading to it has a blood clot that stops blood getting to important brain cells.

Dr Saposnik and his team emphasized one message: "time is brain", and the sooner the stroke sufferer gets the attention he or she needs the more likely they are to have a successful result, no matter what day of the week it is, where they live or what kind of hospital they go into.

Commenting on the study, Dr Larry Goldstein, chair of the Stroke Council of the American Heart Association, said, "Although the differences in weekend admission found in this study may be real, the potential benefits of obtaining early treatment would well outweigh the risk of waiting."

"Patients developing symptoms of stroke such as abrupt difficulty speaking or understanding, weakness or numbness affecting an arm or leg, and unexplained difficulty walking or with coordination need to get to a hospital organized to provide stroke care as soon as possible, regardless of the day of the week," he added.

While this study looked into the hospital side variables, the researchers also pointed out that certain patient side factors played a role, for example higher drug and alcohol consumption occurs at the weekend and this could also elevate death risk.

What is high cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a type of fat. Your body needs it for many things, such as making new cells. But too much cholesterol in your blood increases your chances of having a heart attack and stroke.

You get cholesterol from the foods you eat and from your liver. Your liver makes most of the cholesterol your body needs.

Desirable cholesterol is less than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
Borderline-high cholesterol is 200 to 239.
High cholesterol is 240 or higher.

What are the different kinds of cholesterol?

Cholesterol travels through your blood attached to a protein. This cholesterol- protein package is called a lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are either high-density or low-density, based on how much protein and fat they have.

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are mostly fat with only a small amount of protein. LDL is the bad kind of cholesterol because it can clog your arteries. If you have high cholesterol, your doctor will want you to lower your LDL.

LDL levels:

Best LDL is less than 100 mg/dL.
Near best LDL is 100 to 129.
Borderline-high LDL is 130 to 159.
High LDL is 160 to 189.
Very high LDL is 190 and above.

See an illustration of a clogged artery (atherosclerosis) .

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) help clear the bad cholesterol from your blood and keep it from clogging your arteries. HDL is the good kind of cholesterol. High levels of HDL (60 or above) can protect you from a heart attack.

HDL levels:

Desirable or high HDL is 60 mg/dL or above.
Undesirable or low HDL is less than 40.

Triglycerides are another type of fat in your blood. If you have high triglycerides and high LDL, your chances of having a heart attack are higher.

Triglyceride levels:

Borderline high is 150 to 199 mg/dL.
High is 200 or above.
Very high is 500 or higher.

What causes high cholesterol?

High cholesterol may run in your family. The foods you eat also may cause high cholesterol.

Causes include:

Your diet. Eating too much saturated fat and cholesterol can cause high cholesterol. Saturated fat and cholesterol come from animal foods such as beef, pork, veal, milk, eggs, butter, and cheese. Many packaged foods contain saturated fat such as coconut oil, palm oil, or cocoa butter. You will also find saturated fat in stick margarine and vegetable shortening. Cookies, crackers, chips, and other snacks usually contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oil or trans fat, which can raise cholesterol.
Your weight. Being overweight may raise triglycerides and lower HDL.
Your activity level. Not exercising may raise LDL and lower HDL.
Your overall health. Having diseases such as low thyroid can raise cholesterol. Cigarette smoking may lower HDL.
Your age. After you reach age 20, your cholesterol starts to rise. In men, cholesterol levels usually level off after age 50. In women, cholesterol levels stay fairly low until menopause. After that, they rise to about the same level as in men.
Your family. A disease called a lipid disorder can also cause high cholesterol. This rare problem is inherited from family members, and it changes how your body handles cholesterol. If you have a lipid disorder, your cholesterol may be well over 250 mg/dL. It may be harder to treat.

What are the symptoms?

High cholesterol doesn't make you feel sick. But if cholesterol builds up in your arteries, it can block blood flow to your heart or brain and cause a heart attack or stroke.

In some people, cholesterol deposits called xanthomas may form under the skin. They look like small bumps.

How is high cholesterol diagnosed?

Your doctor will use a blood test to check your cholesterol.

A lipoprotein analysis is the most complete test. It measures your total cholesterol: HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. You cannot have food for 12 hours before this test.
A simple cholesterol test can measure your total cholesterol and HDL. You can eat before this test. Sometimes doctors do this test first and then order a lipoprotein analysis if you have high cholesterol or low HDL.

How is it treated?

You and your doctor may decide first to treat your high cholesterol without medicine. Changes to your lifestyle and diet may be all you need. These changes include eating foods low in saturated fat, being more active, losing weight if you need to, and quitting smoking if needed.

If you cannot lower your cholesterol enough after trying lifestyle changes for a few months, you may need to take a medicine called a statin.

If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or coronary artery disease (CAD), your doctor may want you to take a statin right away. This is because your chance of having a heart attack is higher.

Use this Interactive Tool: Are You at Risk for a Heart Attack?

Research shows that people who have a high risk for heart attack could benefit from taking higher doses of statins to lower their LDL cholesterol as much as possible. The more these people can lower their LDL, the less likely they are to have a heart attack. 1

Things that increase your risk for heart attack include:

Having high blood pressure.
Smoking.
Having low HDL (good) cholesterol.
Having peripheral arterial disease, which is narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the legs, abdomen, pelvis, arms, or neck.
Having diabetes.
Having a family history of heart disease.
Being age 45 or older if you are a man, and age 55 or older if you are a woman

Avoid Weekend Weight Gain

By: Heather Hatfield

How to unwind without undoing your diet Happy hour after work on Friday. Dinner out at your favorite restaurant on Saturday.

A home-cooked feast on Sunday. Before you know it, a weekend of unwinding can turn into a calorie-fest that undermines a week's worth of healthy eating -- and, come Monday morning, sends the needle on your scale creeping upward.

"Individual eating habits tend to change dramatically over the weekend," says Cedric Bryant, PhD, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. "You tend to see people consuming more alcoholic beverages and more calorie-dense foods. It's a real easy recipe to gain weight." But avoiding the weekend weight-gain trap doesn't have to mean your favorite Friday-through- Sunday treats are off-limits, experts say. Below, they offer some tips for enjoying your days off while avoiding the weekend food frenzy.

The Weekend Trap Research has shown just how much damage weekend overeating can do to our diets. "There is a large and significant difference in energy intake on the three-day weekend versus the four-day weekday, particularly for young adults," says Barry Popkin, PhD, co-author of a study on weekend weight gain. The study, published in the August 2003 issue of Obesity Research, found that Americans 19 to 50 years old take in 115 more calories per day on the weekend (defined as Friday through Sunday) than on the other days of the week.

Over the course of a year, that adds up to 17,940 extra calories -- or about 5 pounds. And, as you might have guessed, it's not healthy foods that we're eating more of during the weekend. That 115-calorie- a-day difference comes mostly from alcohol and fat, says Popkin, a professor of nutrition in the School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina.

Even so, those extra calories don't have to turn into fat, the experts say. The key is burning more calories than you consume. That means finding active ways to relax - like brisk walking, playing tennis, even gardening - instead of vegging out in front of the TV. "People tend to think of the weekend as their time to relax and recover from the hectic workweek," says Bryant.
"What they should do is really try to make an effort to become more active in their daily pursuits over the weekend days. Look for as many opportunities to move as possible, so you can increase physical activity to offset the extra calories you consume."

While physical activity may be the obvious answer, experts say there are other tricks that can help you overcome the habit of weekend overindulgence:
� Start your day out right. "Eat a healthy breakfast on the weekend, when you have more time," says Susan Moores, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "You usually eat less during the day if you start with a healthy breakfast, and you get some good nutrition."� don�t go hungry to "save up" for a big dinner out. "Saving yourself backfires -- you usually end up eating way more than you would have if you ate normally throughout
the day," says Moores. "Have a little bite to eat before you go out to take the edge off your hunger, and then simply enjoy good food when you go out."
� Savor the experience of dining out. "Allow yourself to enjoy good food and savor it, rather than overindulge in it," says Moores. "People forget what the whole eating experience is about -- sitting with friends, enjoying your time together, and relaxing."� Eat slowly. "It takes 15-20 minutes for your brain to signal your stomach that it's full, so take your time," Moores explains. "Whether you're at a party or eating out on the weekend, remember to slow down when you're eating."� Start with soup. "Take your time when you order at a restaurant, and start with soup," says Moores. "Then, have the waiter come back so you can order an entr�e -- you'll order much less than if you ordered all at once."

Halve your restaurant entrees. "Splitting an entree with a friend is a great way to make a significant cut in calories on the weekend," says Moores.
� Don�t skip dessert; share it. "Make it special," says Moores. "Choose something that is really delightful to you and split it with a friend. Keep an eye out for portion sizes, and if the dessert you want is huge, ask the waiter
to slice it thin or split it with the table -- but I'm all for dessert."

Avoid overdoing it with alcohol. "If you can cut out one or two drinks per day on the weekend, that will save you 100 to 150-plus calories," says Moores. And, she explains, people who drink more tend to eat more as well. So drink alcohol with caution, if at all. Remember your waistline. "Wear a tighter pair of pants when you go out on the weekend," says Moores. "Wear something that's not uncomfortable but that reminds you there are limits to what you should eat."

� Find a substitute for soda. "Use water to satisfy thirst, rather than soda, which many people drink more of on the weekends," says Bryant. "Not only are they consuming a tremendous amount of calories, but soda is high in fructose, which stimulates the appetite."

Beyond that, the experts say, the best way to keep the weekends from torpedoing your diet is to take a commonsense approach to nutrition -- every day of the week. "I think most people are better off from a health standpoint to eat sensibly each day," says Bryant. "Consume a variety of foods, don't skip meals, eat individual-sized portions, and whenever possible, substitute a favorite high-fat food or high-sugar food with a healthy alternative.

A Walk a Day Keeps the Eye Doctor Away?

Author:

Karen Barrow

Medically Reviewed On: March 14, 2007

It is no surprise that regular exercise can lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes, but did you know that it may prevent age-related eye disease as well?

Age-related macular degeneration is an eye disease affecting more than 10 million Americans, causing the gradual deterioration of the light-sensitive cells of the eye, often resulting in blindness. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness for Americans over the age of 55.

However, exercise seems to protect the eye against macular degeneration for many of the same reasons it protects the heart against heart disease.

�Regular physical activity benefits health by reducing abdominal fat, weight, blood pressure and inflammation,� wrote Dr. M.D. Knudtson and colleagues in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. �These factors have a role in the [development] of age-related macular degeneration.�

To test this connection, over the course of 15 years, Knudtson looked at the rates of exercise and macular degeneration in almost 4,000 men and women between the ages of 43 and 86. Every five years, the participants were given an eye exam and asked about their general physical activity, including how many stairs they climbed, how many blocks they walked and how often they exercised long enough to break a sweat.

The researchers found that 25 percent of the study participants had an active lifestyle, and this population had a 70 percent lower risk of developing macular degeneration than the rest of the population. Even those who tended to walk more regularly than the rest of the study participants had lowered their risk of macular degeneration by 30 percent.

The researchers caution, however, that diet may also play a role in preventing this disease. But physically active people tend of be biologically younger than their sedentary counterparts, which would mean they tend to age slower, also helping to stave off this disease.

�Regular physical activity, such as walking, may have a protective effect against age-related macular degeneration,� the authors conclude.

KARACHI: Oral cancer epidemic in the making

By Faiza Ilyas

KARACHI, April 6: Karachi has the highest incidence of oral cancer in the world. With the increasing number of oral cancer cases, the city may witness an epidemic in the coming years. The government immediately needs to check the widespread use of betel leaf (paan), betel nut (chalia), tobacco and their various concoctions such as gutka and manpuri, as the disease now affects the younger population.

These facts came to light in discussions with different doctors. They included the Head of Karachi Cancer Registry and Aga Khan University Pathology-based Cancer Registry, Dr Yasmin Bhurgri; Head of ENT Department, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Professor Dr Tariq Rafi; Head of ENT Department, Civil Hospital Karachi, Dr Javed Alam; Head of Pathology Department Sindh Medical College Dr Serajuddaula Syed and General Secretary Pakistan Medical Association Dr Qaiser Sajjad.

Cancer of oral cavity, according to Dr Bhurgri, ranks sixth in the world in both sexes. It is the third most common cancer in men in developing countries. However in Karachi, the malignancy ranks second in both genders. The incidence, she claimed, is the highest in the world.

Dr Bhurgri proved this in her research paper, Cancer of the Oral Cavity -- Trends in Karachi South (1995-2002), which was published in Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention in 2005. A total of 2,253 oral cancer cases were registered in Karachi South for the 8-year study period, accounting for 8.8 per cent of all cancer cases. The study was divided into two parts; from 1995 to 1997 and 1998 to 2002.

According to the study, the Age Standardised Rates (ASIRs) per 100,000, from January 1 1998 to December 31, 2002 in Karachi South were 21.3 in males and 19.3 in females, whereas the ASIRs per 100,000 from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1997 were 14.2 and 14.6 in males and females, respectively.

�The second part of the study is under publication, which further confirms that Karachi has the highest incidence of oral cancer in the world. The city also has a high rate of cancer in the pharynx. Besides, a large number of head and neck cancers can also be attributed to paan, chalia, tobacco and gutka,� she said.

The study showed oral cancer was found to be equally common in men and women; the most common site was the mucosa cheek (55.9pc), tongue (28.4pc), palate (6.8pc), gum (4.4pc) and floor of the mouth (1.4pc). About 30pc of cases occurred in patients 40 years and younger and 23pc in patients 65 years and older. A strong socio-economic factor, with a poorer, low-literacy profile, was found to be associated with oral cancer in the entire study period.

The increasing number of oral cancer cases in the city was confirmed by Professor Dr Tariq Rafi of JPMC and Dr Javed Alam of CHK. At JPMC five to six cases of oral cancer are reported every day, while CHK has eight to 10 cases of oral cancer every day, with the same number of patients with pre-malignant conditions.

People often seek medical help very late, making treatment more costly and complicated. This increases the chances of recurrence while minimising years of survival. According to Dr Qaiser Sajjad, teenagers, especially girls, are now becoming victims of oral sub-mucous fibrosis, a pre-malignant condition.

The severity of the situation can be gauged from a study conducted last year by students of Department of Social Work, University of Karachi (KU). It says 93per cent children of 50 government and private schools in Saddar Town spent their pocket money on buying chalia or supari and 7 per cent on paan and gutka.

Though chalia does induce a mild sense of excitement, several brands of chalia and saunf supari were found to be laced with narcotics, according to a KU research study. Dr Serajuddaula Syed points out most of the chalia being sold in the market is of very cheap quality and has fungus, making it harmful for human consumption. The colours added to the compound have also proved to be harmful.

However, it doesn�t mean chalia or paan without tobacco is safe. In many studies paan chewing and chalia have proved to have sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity and are independent risk factors for the disease.

While the burden of oral cancer is increasing on public sector hospitals, which have limited resources, no preventive measures are being taken to check the widespread use of chalia, manpuri and gutka, especially among school-children. �This is a grave situation. If preventive measures are not taken, oral cancer may take the form of an epidemic in coming years,� says Dr Tariq Rafi.

Subject: COCONUT OIL FACTS muradalibana

COCONUT OIL FACTS

We found the following information from various sources over the internet:

You can take coconut oil both internally or externally. Those who are proponents of this cure do both. The typical amount to take internally per day is 3 TBSP. It is recommended that you take 1 TBS with every meal. Coconut Oil apparently gives an instantaneous energy lift and may help you give up caffeine! Many sports nutrition bars and drinks include coconut oil for its energizing properties.

Warning: Coconut Oil is contraindicated for those with hypertension / high blood pressure! But if you suffer from low blood pressure, this is a great remedy for you.

Lots of research has been done on the subject of Fatty Acids and Monogycerides (found in coconut oil). Some of the reported cures from research are:

WEIGHT LOSS:
Promotes loss of excess weight by increasing metabolic rate; Is utilized by the body to produce energy in preference to being stored as body fat like other dietary fats; Helps prevent obesity and overweight problems;

SKIN/HAIR/BEAUTY
Applied topically helps to form a chemical barrier on the skin to ward of infection; Reduces symptoms associated the psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis; Supports the natural chemical balance of the skin; Softens skin and helps relieve dryness and flaking; Prevents wrinkles, sagging skin, and age spots; Promotes healthy looking hair and complexion; Provides protection form damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation form the sun.; Helps control dandruff.

VIRUSES/BACTERIAL INFECTIONS/FUNGUS/ PARASITES
Studies have found that coconut oil can kill viruses that cause influenza, herpes, measles, hepatitis C, SARS, AIDS, and other illnesses. It also kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, gum disease and cavities, pneumonia, and gonorrhea, and other diseases; Kills fungi and yeasts that cause candidiasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, thrush, diaper rash, and other infections; Expels or kills tapeworms, lice, giardia, and other parasites;

Coconut oil may provide an effective defense against many parasites including giardia. Like bacteria and fungi, giardia can't stand up against MCFA found in coconut oil. Research has confirmed the effectiveness of MCFA in destroying giardia and possibly other protozoa. By using coconut oil every day, you may be able to destroy giardia. Another possible use for coconut is for the removal of intestinal worms. In India it has traditionally been used to get rid of tapeworms. In one study it was reported that treatment with dried coconut, followed by magnesium sulfate (a laxative), caused ninety percent parasite expulsion after twelve hours. In India coconut oil is also rubbed into the scalp as a treatment to remove head lice.

CHRONIC FATIGUE
By taking coconut oil daily, you may also be eliminating the possibility of developing food allergies, chronic fatigue, and other related symptoms. If you're currently troubled with these conditions, coconut oil used liberally with meals may provide a source of relief. Because MCFA are quickly absorbed by the tissues and converted into energy it seems logical that those suffering from chronic fatigue would gain a great deal of benefit.

DIGESTION:
Coconut Oil provides a nutritional source of quick energy; Boosts energy and endurance, enhancing physical and athletic performance; Improves digestion and absorption of other nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids; Improves insulin secretion and utilization of blood glucose; Relieves stress on pancreas and enzyme systems of the body; Reduces symptoms associated with pancreatitis; Helps relieve symptoms and reduce health risks associated with diabetes;

BODY/ORGANS
Coconut Oil reduces problems associated with malabsorption syndrome and cystic fibrosis; Improves calcium and magnesium absorption and supports the development of strong bones and teeth; Helps relieve symptoms associated with gallbladder disease; Relieves symptoms associated with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and stomach ulcers; Improves digestion and bowel function; Relieves pain and irritation caused by hemorrhoids; Reduces inflammation. Supports tissue healing and repair.; Functions as a protective antioxidant; Helps to protect the body from harmful free radicals that promote premature aging and degenerative disease; Helps relieve symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome; Relieves symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate enlargement) ; Reduces epileptic seizures; Helps protect against kidney disease and bladder infections; Dissolves kidney stones; Helps prevent liver disease; Supports thyroid function;

CANCER:
Helps protect the body from breast, colon, and other cancers;

HEART:
Is heart healthy; improves cholesterol ratio reducing risk of heart disease; Protects arteries from injury that causes atherosclerosis and thus protects against heart disease;

TEETH:
Helps prevent periodontal disease and tooth decay.

COCONUT OIL FOR POOR CIRCULATION
Do you feel cold much of the time? You might try coconut oil, which is said to increase body temperature (and blood pressure). This is due to the increasing metabolic rate as medium-chain fatty acids of the coconut oil are burned.

CURE FOR ATHELETE'S FEET
The 8% caprylic acid in coconut oil is said to be effective against fungus, and on skin conditions like planter's warts and athlete's foot.

CURE FOR ROSACEA
Used externally and internally, we read one report on the internet of a 15 year bout of roscea clearing up within 2 weeks with Coconut Oil!

Afternoon nap 'is good for heart'

Couple sleeping

Working men seem to benefit the most from a siesta

Taking 40 winks in the middle of the day may reduce the risk of death from heart disease, particularly in young healthy men, say researchers.

A six-year Greek study found that those who took a 30-minute siesta at least three times a week had a 37% lower risk of heart-related death.

The researchers took into account ill health, age, and whether people were physically active.

Experts said napping might help people to relax, reducing their stress levels.

It is known that countries where siestas are common tend to have lower levels of heart disease, but studies have shown mixed results.

The researchers in the Greek study looked at 23,681 men and women aged between 20 and 86. The subjects did not have a history of heart disease or any other severe condition.

This study has four advantages - it's large, prospective, limited to healthy people and we have been very careful to control for physical activity

Dr Dimitrios Trichopoulos
Harvard School of Public Health

Participants were also asked if they took midday naps and how often, and were asked about dietary habits and physical activity.

The researchers found those who took naps of any frequency and duration had a 34% lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who did not take midday naps.

Those who took naps of more than 30 minutes three or more times a week had a 37% lower risk.

Working men

Among working men who took midday naps, there was a 64% reduced risk of death compared with a 36% reduced risk among non-working men.

There were not enough female deaths to compare figures.

The researchers said taking a siesta may reduce stress, hence the more notable finding in working men.

Lead researcher Dr Dimitrios Trichopoulos, from the Harvard School of Public Health, said: "In countries where mortality from coronary diseases is low, siesta is quite prevalent.

June Davison, cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "These interesting findings identify that having a siesta is associated with a reduced risk of dying from a heart problem, particularly in working men.

"Having a nap in the middle of the day may help people to unwind and relax - which is important for our overall health.

"However it is important to get a balance between rest and activity, as being regularly active can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."

She added that people who felt stressed might be more tempted to have less healthy behaviour, such as smoking, eating a poor diet, drinking too much alcohol and not getting enough exercise. This would add to their risk of suffering a heart-related death.

The Latest Wisdom on Hormone Therapy

By Katherine Hobson

Posted 4/20/07

The news almost five years ago that hormone therapy might harm rather than protect women's health surprised researchers and led to a sharp decline in the number of women taking the drugs. Since the Women's Health Initiative findings showed that combined estrogen and progesterone therapy raises the risk of stroke, heart disease, and breast cancer, more studies have trickled out, refining what we know about how hormones alter the risk of those diseases. Three released in the past month have added to the evidence, including two this week examining hormone therapy's link to breast and ovarian cancer. Here's a wrap-up of the changing wisdom on HT:

What's the latest news on hormones and breast cancer?

The number of new breast cancer cases fell by nearly 7 percent in 2003. Now, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that the rate leveled off and stayed low in 2004. The findings support�though don't confirm�that the mass abandonment of hormone therapy in mid-2002 played a role in the decline of breast cancer incidence. In other words, they suggest the WHI study was right.

What kind of evidence backs that up beyond the timing of the decline?

Two things, says Peter Ravdin, an oncologist at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and the leader of the study. First, the drop occurred only in women over 50, which is exactly who was using hormone therapy en masse until 2002. "The other strong link is that the majority of the decrease is in estrogen receptor positive breast cancers," he says. Those tumors are fueled by estrogen, either when it's produced naturally by the woman or taken via hormone therapy.

Still, this kind of study can never prove the role of hormones. Other proposed causes for the drop include a drop in the detection of new cases as the number of women being screened by mammograms has declined. The rate of screening mammography dropped 3.2 percent in women ages 30 to 65 between 2000 and 2003. No one knows why, but possibly women who went off HT thought their risk for breast cancer was low enough that they could skip their annual mammogram.

And what about ovarian cancer?

Another study, published this week in the online version of the Lancet, attributed to HT an extra 1,000 ovarian cancer deaths between 1991 and 2005 in the U.K. Researchers found more ovarian cancer in hormone therapy users�about 2.6 cases per thousand women using hormones, compared with 2.2 cases per thousand in women who weren't using them. Ovarian cancer increases weren't noted in the 2002 WHI data, but that study was far smaller: just under 17,000 women, compared with nearly a million in the U.K study. So an increase in the disease might not have shown up. Mary Daly, director of the Margaret Dyson Family Risk Assessment Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, says the link isn't definite, however. "Maybe women who take hormone therapy are different in some other way" that might raise their risk of the disease, she says.

What do we know now about hormones and the heart?

When the WHI data on heart risk was analyzed according to age and the number of years since menopause, it suggested that there's no additional risk of heart attack among women in their 50s who are on HT. But it seems that the further a woman gets from menopause, the greater the odds that hormones will hurt her heart. "That's very important for younger women who want to use hormones for short-term treatment of menopausal symptoms," says Jacques Rossouw, a researcher for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and an author of the study, which appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "It's a reasonable option if they're within 10 years of menopause. Further than that, think long and hard about using them."

Are all hormones the same?

No, but it's still unclear exactly how they differ. These studies are referring to combined therapy�estrogen plus progesterone. Short-term use of estrogen alone doesn't seem to boost the risk of breast cancer, for reasons that are not understood. It does carry an additional risk of uterine cancer and isn't used in women who still have a uterus. Both estrogen alone and the combined therapy increased the risk of the heart problems and stroke. The new ovarian cancer study didn't find that risk varied by type of HT.

How does age factor in?

The heart study showed that the younger, the better, when it comes to taking HT. That may be true for cancer, too, says Ravdin. Since the disease already strikes older women more than younger, adding HT to the mix may multiply the risk of problems.

So what's the bottom line?

The basic advice hasn't changed: HT may be prescribed in the short term to relieve symptoms, but beyond a few years�and the further you are from menopause�the greater the risk. Talk to your doctor about how your individual risk balances out the potential benefits of HT. Those individual risks may include family history of cardiac disease and breast cancer as well as a history of clots while using oral contraceptives, both of which may signal a higher risk of heart problems, says Daly.

7 don'ts after a meal
* Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

* Don't eat fruits immediately - eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.

* Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid.This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

* Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted &blocked.

* Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
* Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
