Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:10:51 -0600

Gluten is a protein that may be observed in components of barley, wheat, rye, and other associated grains, and many people are unable to digest this protein for numerous reasons. One of these explanations will be the Celiac disease, which damages the smaller intestine to such a degree in the smaller intestine obstructs the absorption in the food, which causes a necessity to keep away from gluten intake at all expenses. The majority of the causes behind that is that the middle intestine, for whatever reason, basically can not digest gluten. Whilst moving to a gluten-free diet plan is a challenge, several restaurants are prepared to accommodate.

To stay away from this hazardous chemical, make certain that the pizza was produced on totally separate serving pans. This also includes the knives, cooking preparation pots, serving utensils, and anything else that comes in contact with the food. Cross-contamination is the greatest reason for a reaction, so the presence of gluten requires careful monitoring in numerous stages in the foods preparation. Even the sifters have to need to be changed so they are utilized to make a pizza that is gluten-free.

What are the healthiest drinking cups?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:37:00 -0500

There are a variety of drinking cups made up by glass, enamel, plastic. But the healthiest drinking cup is glass cup, because glass cups do not contain organic chemicals in the process of firing. When people drink water or other drinks with the glass, they do not have to worry about those chemicals go into the drink. And glass cups are easy to clean because the glass surface is smooth, so there is no bacteria and dirt.
Experts also advocate using enamel cups because enamel cup do not contain < edited > lead and hazardous substances. Enamel cup is made by the process heated under a thousand-degree. But the brightly colored paint on colorful ceramic cups particularly coated with glaze in inner wall will cause harm to human body. When we add the boiling water or high acid, alkaline drinks into the cup, the lead and toxic heavy metals in these pigments are likely to dissolve in the liquids; people will drink the liquids with chemical substances.
Plastic cups are the unhealthiest, because plastic is frequently added a plasticizer which contains a number of toxic chemicals.When we add the hot water or boiled water into plastic cup, toxic chemicals easily diluted into the water. And there are many pores in the plastic internal micro-structure which hide the dirt leading to breed bacteria.

Safe Sex - Topic Overview

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:32:45 -0500

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are spread by sexual contact involving the genitals, mouth, or rectum, and can also be spread from a pregnant woman to her fetus before or during delivery. STDs, which affect both men and women, are a worldwide public health concern.

Although most STDs can be cured, some cannot, including HIV (which causes AIDS), genital herpes, and human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause genital warts.

STDs can be spread by people who don't know they are infected. Always use protection every time you have sex, including oral sex, until you are sure you and your partner are not infected with an STD.

If you are in a relationship, delay having sex until you are physically and emotionally prepared, have agreed to only have sex with each other, and have both been tested for STDs.
Abstinence as prevention

Completely avoiding sexual contact (abstinence), including intercourse or oral sex, is the only certain way to prevent an infection.
Discuss safe sex with your partner

Discuss STDs before you have sex with someone. Even though a sex partner doesn't have symptoms of an STD, he or she may still be infected.

Questions to ask someone before having sex include:

* How many people have you had sex with?
* Have you had sex without a condom?
* Have you ever had unprotected oral sex?
* Have you had more than one sex partner at a time?
* Do you inject illegal drugs or have you had sex with someone who injects drugs?
* Have you ever had unprotected sex with a prostitute?
* Have you had a test for HIV? What were the results?
* Have you ever had an STD, including hepatitis B or hepatitis C? Was it treated and cured?

Safe sex practices

Some STDs, such as HIV, can take up to 6 months before they can be detected in the blood. Genital herpes and the human papillomavirus (HPV) can be spread when symptoms are not present. Even if you and your partner have been tested, use condoms for all sex until you and your partner haven't had sex with another person for 6 months. Then get tested again.

* Watch for symptoms of STDs, such as unusual discharge, sores, redness, or growths in your and your partner's genital area, or pain while urinating.
* Don't have more than one sex partner at a time. The safest sex is with one partner who has sex only with you. Every time you add a new sex partner, you are being exposed to all of the diseases that all of their partners may have. Your risk for an STD increases if you have several sex partners at the same time.
* Use a condom every time you have sex. A condom is the best way to protect yourself from STDs. Latex and polyurethane condoms do not let STD viruses pass through, so they offer good protection from STDs. Condoms made from sheep intestines do not protect against STDs.
* Use a water-based lubricant such as K-Y Jelly or Astroglide to help prevent tearing of the skin if there is a lack of lubrication during sexual intercourse. Small tears in the vagina during vaginal sex or in the rectum during anal sex allow STDs to get into your blood.
* Avoid douching if you are a woman, because it can change the normal balance of organisms in the vagina and increases the risk of getting an STD.
* Be responsible. Avoid sexual contact if you have symptoms of an infection or if you are being treated for an STD or HIV. If you or your partner has herpes, avoid sexual contact when a blister is present and use condoms at all other times.

Avoid The Flu Without Getting A Flu Shot

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:41:50 -0500

Obviously, one of the first things you need to do is avoid people that appear to have the flu. Avoiding people with the flu isn’t as easy as it may seem, many people have it and don’t show symptoms till too late. When you are handling things other people have handled, make sure to wash your hands, disinfect the item or both. The more you disinfect things the better off you will be. Don’t rub your face or your eyes with your hands. Hands are wonderful carriers of germs and it appears that most germs we end up fighting have come from our hands. Wash your hands frequently and if you can, carry wipes or disinfectant for hands. Use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough, then wash your hands, this will keep viruses from staying on them.

Eat right and make sure you get enough sleep, a body that is undernourished and is lacking in sleep will be more vulnerable to flu than a body that is well taken care of.

Avoid crowded public places. If you feel ill, stay at home and keep your child home if he or she feels ill. Don’t go into work, but don’t go into emergency unless you are having trouble breathing or high temperature. Remember, if you go into a hospital situation, you will be surrounded by infectious people.

Cancer Causes

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:20:12 -0500

Cells are the building blocks of living things. Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn't need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells “forget” how to die.

There are many different kinds of cancers. Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue.

There are many causes of cancers, including:

* Benzene and other chemicals
* Certain poisonous mushrooms and a type of poison that can grow on peanut plants (aflatoxins)
* Certain viruses
* Radiation
* Sunlight
* Tobacco

However, the cause of many cancers remains unknown.

The most common cause of cancer-related death is lung cancer.

The three most common cancers in men in the United States are:

* Prostate cancer
* Lung cancer
* Colon cancer

In women in the U.S., the three most common cancers are:

* Breast cancer
* Colon cancer
* Lung cancer

Some cancers are more common in certain parts of the world. For example, in Japan, there are many cases of gastric cancer, but in the U.S. this type of cancer is pretty rare. Differences in diet may play a role.

Some other types of cancers include:

* Brain cancer
* Cervical cancer
* Hodgkin's lymphoma
* Kidney cancer
* Leukemia
* Liver cancer
* Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
* Ovarian cancer
* Skin cancer
* Testicular cancer
* Thyroid cancer
* Uterine cancer

Cancer Treatment

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:18:23 -0500

Treatment also varies based on the type of cancer and its stage. The stage of a cancer refers to how much it has grown and whether the tumor has spread from its original location.

* If the cancer is confined to one location and has not spread, the most common goals for treatment are surgery and cure. This is often the case with skin cancers, as well as cancers of the lung, breast, and colon.
* If the tumor has spread to local lymph nodes only, sometimes these can also be removed.
* If surgery cannot remove all of the cancer, the options for treatment include radiation, chemotherapy, or both. Some cancers require a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Although treatment for cancer can be difficult, there are many ways to keep up your strength.

If you have radiation treatment, know that:

* Radiation treatment is painless.
* Treatment is usually scheduled every weekday.
* You should allow 30 minutes for each treatment session, although the treatment itself usually takes only a few minutes.
* You should get plenty of rest and eat a well-balanced diet during the course of your radiation therapy.
* Skin in the treated area may become sensitive and easily irritated.
* Side effects of radiation treatment are usually temporary. They vary depending on the area of the body that is being treated.

If you are going through chemotherapy, you should eat right. Chemotherapy causes your immune system to weaken, so you should avoid people with colds or the flu. You should also get plenty of rest, and don't feel as though you have to accomplish tasks all at once.

It will help you to talk with family, friends, or a support group about your feelings. Work with your health care providers throughout your treatment. Helping yourself can make you feel more in control.

Cancer Symptoms

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:17:17 -0500

Symptoms of cancer depend on the type and location of the tumor. For example, lung cancer can cause coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Colon cancer often causes diarrhea, constipation, and blood in the stool.

Some cancers may not have any symptoms at all. In certain cancers, such as gallbladder cancer, symptoms often do not start until the disease has reached an advanced stage.

The following symptoms can occur with most cancers:

* Chills
* Fatigue
* Fever
* Loss of appetite
* Malaise
* Night sweats
* Weight loss

Puberty and Periods

Fri, 29 May 2009 04:23:09 -0500

Menstruation (a period) is a major stage of puberty in girls; it's one of the many physical signs that a girl is turning into a woman. And like a lot of the other changes associated with puberty, menstruation can be confusing. Some girls can't wait to start their periods, whereas others may feel afraid or anxious. Many girls (and guys!) don't have a complete understanding of a woman's reproductive system or what actually happens during the menstrual cycle, making the process seem even more mysterious.
When girls begin to go through puberty (usually starting between the ages of 8 and 13), their bodies and minds change in many ways. The hormones in their bodies stimulate new physical development, such as growth and breast development. About 2 to 2½ years after a girl's breasts begin to develop, she usually gets her first menstrual period.
About 6 months or so before getting her first period, a girl might notice an increased amount of clear vaginal discharge. This discharge is common. There's no need for a girl to worry about discharge unless it has a strong odor or causes itchiness.

Perimenopause

Thu, 28 May 2009 02:03:43 -0500

Menopause is the final menstrual period, which can be confirmed after going 12 consecutive months without a period, or when both ovaries are surgically removed or damaged. Menopause can result in unpleasant symptoms for some women as well as increase risk of serious disease later in life.
In biomedicine, perimenopause is the term describing the menopause transition years. In women who have a uterus, perimenopause describes the years both before and after the final period (although it is only possible to determine in retrospect which episode of flow was indeed the final period). During perimenopause, the production of most of the reproductive hormones, including the estrogens, progesterone and testosterone, diminish and become more irregular, often with wide and unpredictable fluctuations in levels. During this period, fertility diminishes, but is not considered to reach zero until the official date of menopause is determined retroactively 12 months after the last menstrual cycle.

What is Endometriosis?

Wed, 27 May 2009 02:32:36 -0500

Endometriosis is a medical condition in women in which endometrial cells are deposited in areas outside the uterine cavity. The uterine cavity is lined by endometrial cells, which are under the influence of female hormones. Endometrial cells deposited in areas outside the uterus continue to be influenced by these hormonal changes and respond similarly as do those cells found inside the uterus. Symptoms often exacerbate in time with the menstrual cycle.
