We all want
to age gracefully and maintain a healthy body. But to do this,
discipline is key and avoiding risky behaviors is essential.
A risky behavior is anything that increases your risk of a disabling
disease or death. So there are some obvious things: driving too
fast, driving while intoxicated, unprotected sex or frequent
non-mutually monogamous sex, drinking too much. One could even say
that a risky behavior is eating too much saturated fat or not doing
physical activities. So you can go the full range.
Another dangerous habit is cigarette smoking.
What's predictable with tobacco is it ages your arteries. When we
say "ages your arteries" that means heart disease, stroke, memory
loss, most impotence and decay in orgasm quality, and even wrinkling
of the skin.
Although one drink can provide some healthy benefits, drinking too
much alcohol can be hazardous to your health.
When you get to over three drinks a day, you're aging yourself. Not
only do you damage to your cells of your brain, your neurons of your
brain, but you also expose yourself to a lot of other risky
behaviors.
Making sure that you are practicing responsible sexual behavior is
crucial.
Sexually transmitted diseases are socioeconomically
equal-opportunity infection. And everyone is at risk for it. So
that's why it is responsible to use condoms wisely and every time.
Once hooked on a high-risk behavior it's not easy to stop. But there
are steps that can lead you in the right direction.
It's very tough to quit any of the high-risk behaviors without a
social support structure and without a serious plan.
Aging is inevitable, but if you want to hold on to your youth, be
good to your body and curb risky behaviors.

Tomatoes
for Prostate Cancer
Dehydrated Tomatoes May
Prevent Prostate Cancer
Prostate
cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in males!
New research suggests
that one specific form of tomatoes — tomato paste made from
dehydrated tomatoes — may have the ability to prevent prostate
cancer. When mice were fed tomato paste plus FruHis, an organic
carbohydrate found in dehydrated tomato products, and then injected
with chemicals that cause prostate cancer, the tomato products
stopped the development of cancer 90 percent of the time.
It appears that the greatest protective effect from tomatoes comes
by re-hydrating tomato powder into tomato paste.”
When researchers added lycopene to FruHis and tested the mixture on
cells in virto, cancer growth stopped more than 98 percent of the
time!
Experiments like this suggest that a combination of FruHis and
lycopene should be investigated as a potential therapeutic
anti-tumor agent, not just a prevention strategy.
Mediterranean
Diet
It makes perfect sense.
People who strictly adhered to a Mediterranean diet full of
vegetables, fish and healthy fats such as olive oil, and low in red
meat, dairy products and alcohol had lower odds of diabetes. These
foods that this diet promotes has long been known to naturally lower
bad cholesterol, raise good cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and
yes, even lower our chances of diabetes. In recent studies the fact
that the protection appeared to extend to older people, smokers and
volunteers with a family history of diabetes — a group all the more
prone to the disease — shows the diet works.
The study published in
the British Medical Journal showed that people who stuck closely to
the diet were 83 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than
those who did not.
With Type 2 diabetes
accounting for 90 percent of all cases of diabetes, and the fact
that it is closely linked to obesity and heart disease. The
condition accounts for an estimated 6 percent of all global deaths.
A simple switch in how
and what you eat can mean so much, isn't it worth more then just a
moments thought while reading this article?

Articles - Taking Your Medications Safely
Prescription medications save lives and help improve the quality of
life for many people. But medicines can also pose a danger when they
are not used correctly.
Prescription drug errors are a major problem and potentially touch
the lives of all Americans. By one estimate, there are about a
quarter of a million medication errors committed per year in the
outpatient setting alone.
Errors can be relatively insignificant: minor side effects that a
patient wasn't warned about. Or more serious: A patient may end up
taking the wrong medication, or the wrong dose, or no medicine at
all.
The biggest cause of prescription drug errors, is a lack of
communication. And that's a lack of communication between physicians
and nurses, physicians and patients and families, patients and
families and patients and nurses.
That's why experts say: Ask lots of questions. It's the first item
on a medicine safety checklist prepared by the US government's
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Many people are reluctant to ask questions, because it's very, very
clear that doctors and all healthcare professionals are very pressed
for time these days. Oftentimes, people, think of a question after
they leave, and then it's not really clear who to call.
Often doctors don't know all the medicines a patient is taking. So
the second item on the safety checklist is: Bring them in.

Videos and Story - Weight loss and Obesity
Obesity
is one of the biggest health crises today, with nearly two-thirds of
the American population now classified as overweight or obese.
Obesity is recognized as a leading health problem and a major cause
of death in the United States.
Obesity is a major medical problem because it causes
life-threatening illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure,
heart attacks, and it shortens people’s lives by up to 20 years.
Additionally, obesity can impact a person both psychologically and
socially, with depression being the most common symptom. But,
obesity can also take an economic toll.
There’s studies that have shown that these people spend almost twice
as much as a person that is not obese. Why is that? Because they
have to pay the co-pay of their medicines, the visits to the
doctors. And just simplistically, the clothing, the difficulty of
doing some of the traveling arrangements, many other things will
increase their spending.
Although there are non-surgical weight loss methods such as diet and
exercise programs, as well as medical treatments, they typically
result in minor weight loss and are highly unsuccessful at
maintaining any weight loss long term.
On average, you can lose about five to ten percent of your excess
weight. The majority of the patients in studies show they can lose
about 20 pounds. The problem with those programs is that they have a
high failure rate in the long term. What happens is, 95% of the
patients, if you follow them for three and four years, will regain
that weight that they lost, and they gain a little bit more.
By contrast, surgical weight loss has a much higher success rate
both in terms of amount of weight lost and long-term durability.
Weight loss surgery is done for permanent weight loss, and good
weight loss surgery has at least ten year success rates of losing
more than 50%, more than 60% of a person’s excess weight and
maintaining it.
The fact is, for 98% of individuals out there who are morbidly
obese, they will never lose any significant weight and never keep
that weight off without surgery. And that's a fact that's been
proven over and over.
For obese people who meet specific qualifications, surgery can
provide a solution to weight loss troubles. Learn what role these
procedures can play in improving health and in helping achieve
successful weight loss.
