How to Get a Complete Workout with Nothing But Your Body "The Herbal Survivalist Spot" Herbal Survival and First Aid: a book on natural SURVIVAL solutions in the event of any emergency: Nick Carlucci: Amazon.com: Kindle Store Even a drink a day boosts cancer death risk, alcohol study finds By JoNel Aleccia, Senior Writer, NBC News The first update of alcohol-linked cancer deaths in the U.S. in three decades shows that booze can be blamed for nearly 20,000 deaths a year -- and it’s not just the heavy drinkers. Certainly those who downed three or more drinks a day accounted for most of the deaths from seven kinds of cancer, up to 60 percent, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health. But consuming just 1.5 drinks a day -- or less -- was associated with up to 35 percent of those cancer deaths, suggesting that any alcohol use carries some risk. “For non-drinkers, it’s another reason to feel happy they don’t drink,” said Dr. The study, conducted in conjunction with researchers from the U.S., Canada and France, used recent data and studies on alcohol consumption and cancer mortality to provide a long-delayed update on alcohol-related cancer deaths in America. “Anything that’s a leading cause of death is not a good preventive agent,” Naimi added.
Issues: nutrition intro In 1996 McDonald's opened in India for the first time: a country where the majority of the population is vegetarian and the cow is sacred. Just one example of the inexorable spread of western multinationals into every corner of the globe. A spread which is creating a globalised system in which wealth is drained out of local economies into the hands of a very few, very rich elite.

Herbal Medicine: Constitutional Herbalism and The Herbal Energetics of Western Herbs HEALTH and DISEASE What forces, seen and unseen, cause disease and promote health? This is a question that has occupied the thoughts of humans for thousands of years. Although we know many more minute details about the processes that occur during health and disease, we may not be any closer to really understanding the process. Many herbalists throughout history have said that the state of health we enjoy is related to several important factors: 1. 2. 3. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, five well-defined disease-causing agents (pathogens) are defined, four climate-related factors and the "five emotions," as follows: The Four Climate-Related Factors 1. hot 2. cold 3. wet 4. dry [These influences can become disease-promoting when we are influenced by them from external forces, such as exposure to wind and cold, or can result from internal factors, such as lack of metabolic fire. The Five Emotions 1. anger -- liver 2. fear -- kidneys 3. joy/mania -- heart 4. grief -- lungs 5. pensiveness -- digestion 1.
Comment la litière de votre chat peut affecter votre comportement? Tous les amoureux des félins et propriétaires de chats voudront sans doute lire cette nouvelle. Il appert, selon www.nlm.nih.gov, que les germes contenus dans la litière de votre chat, et plus particulièrement ceux contenus dans les « cadeaux » laissés dedans, pourraient avoir des effets néfastes sur le cerveau. Par conséquent, ces effets pourraient bien jouer sur le comportement des maîtres. C'est du moins ce que conclut une étude sur le sujet, publiée dans la plus récente édition du journal PLoS Pathogens. Ainsi, on apprend que c'est ce processus qui mène à la toxoplasmose, une maladie déclenchée par une exposition massive à ces germes. Si cette maladie est somme toute bien connue, il en va autrement de ses effets sur le cerveau et sur le comportement. C'est que selon l'étude, de 30 à 50 % des propriétaires de chats seraient déjà infectés par la toxoplasmose, mais le système immunitaire serait en mesure de contrer la maladie dans la grande majorité des cas.

Top 5 Cancer Causing Foods Cancer is a disease that can be caused by hereditary and environmental factors. While some people develop cancer regardless of steps taken to prevent it, there is evidence that limiting the consumption of some foods could prevent or delay the onset of cancer, especially for those with a known family history of cancers of the digestive system. Cancer-promoting foods are typically rich in refined sugars, processed carbohydrates, preservatives and byproducts of deep-frying. Many of these foods also have harmful effects on health in general, effecting the cardiovascular, nervous and reproductive systems. Food sources high in refined sugars such as sweetened beverages, sodas and many juices can increase cancer risk. Fried foods increase one's risk of developing cancer, especially when they contain hydrogenated oils, trans-fats, and a byproduct of the deep-frying process called acrylamide. When organic plant or animal matter is burned, a number of toxic, mutagenic by-products are formed.
La gastro : drame en 3 actes - Le Pharmachien Parmi toutes les petites maladies que l’on attrape à l’occasion, la gastroentérite virale (« gastro ») est certainement l’une des plus plates à avoir. Souvent, elle commence en plein milieu de la nuit. Tout d’abord, c’est la diarrhée qui apparaît, puis ce sont les maux de cœur et éventuellement on vomit… ou on se fait vomir tellement on a hâte d’aller mieux! La journée suivante n’est pas beaucoup plus rose : le manque de sommeil et la déshydratation drainent notre énergie. Il faut manquer le travail. Se reposer. À bien y penser, c’est presque une pièce de théâtre tout ça! À noter que je ne parlerai ici que de la gastroentérite virale (celle qui se promène à chaque année) et non pas de la diarrhée du voyageur (« turista ») ou des intoxications alimentaires, qui sont des cas particuliers. Déclaration de conflits d’intérêts potentiels : Dans la semaine qui a précédé l’écriture de cette BD, j’ai eu la gastro… maintenant vous comprenez d’où vient mon inspiration pour écrire tout ça !
