American Women More Worried About Obesity Than Cancer

A new survey has found that American women are more concerned about their weight than developing cancer.

The nationwide survey of more than 3,000 women, conducted by Meredith Corporation and NBC Universal, showed that 56 percent of U.S. women are more concerned about their diet and weight than developing cancer, reports the New York Daily News.

Only 23 percent said they were worried about the disease, significantly less than those who said they were concerned with eating well, while 20 percent expressed concerns about heart health.

Stress

Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you. - John De Paola
News anchor suicide, Australian reporter jumps to Death.
Every action involves certain amount of stress. Expectations generate stress.
The more you act and the more you expect, the greater is the stress you feel.
Stress should first be understood as an inbuilt thing in every action. If we
want to understand stress, its nature and intensity are matters to be considered
in relation to the particular individual who experiences it and reacts to it.

There is more to life than increasing its speed. - Mohandas K. Gandhi

Low vitamin D tied to back pain in older women


Reuters Health

Monday, May 26, 2008

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Older women who aren't getting enough vitamin D appear to be at risk for suffering from back pain, new research shows.


Among older people, vitamin D deficiency has been tied to a number of health problems, including an increased risk of bone fracture, Hicks and colleagues note in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Lack of the vitamin could also, theoretically, contribute to musculoskeletal pain, they add, although research on vitamin D deficiency and pain syndromes has yielded mixed results.

Red Flags for Hereditary Cancers



Published: May 27, 2008

Correction Appended

All cancers are genetic in origin. When genes are working properly, cell growth is tightly regulated, as if a stoplight told cells to divide only so many times and no more. A cancer occurs when something causes a mutation in the genes that limit cell growth or that repair DNA damage.



This is true even if the carcinogen is environmental, like tobacco smoke or radon, or if the cause is viral, like Helicobacter pylori or human papillomavirus.

It is estimated that, by 2025, more than a million people in Britain will suffer from Alzheimer's. Its symptoms include memory loss, confusion and language breakdown, and it is incurable.



"A large number of studies have shown that a number of factors may affect your chances of developing dementia, so it is never too early, or too late, to make a few changes," Ballard says.

allergy cure

Digg!

I find three vegetables mentioned here. I have my doubts about the first two. Tomatoes are not suitable for some and the eggplants may bring about skin problems. I have heard people getting the advice that eggplants are not good for those who suffer from any skin problems or allergy. Those who wish to add them as regular vegetables shall first make a trial and then decide.
Cucumbers are found to be very good for health.
