Motivated, often, by the illness or sudden death of a close friend or relative, they sign up for rigorous stress testing and blood tests to determine the health of their hearts and arteries and the risk of future trouble. Those who pass the tests with flying colors are sent on their way, says Bronz. 'Whatever you're doing, we tell them, keep it up!' Those with a medium to high risk of heart disease - about 10 per cent of the people tested - are invited to join the programme.

Congestive heart failure is a condition where the heart does not pump effectively resulting in an accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing when lying flat and leg or ankle swelling. Causes include chronic hypertension, cardiomyopathy (primary heart disease) and myocardial infarction (irreversible injury to heart muscles).

Coronary Artery Disease is one where heart simply stops pumping blood to the arteries. The blockages or difficulty in the blood flow to the main source of oxygen to the heart muscle i.e. coronary arteries is deemed to be the primary factor that results in this disease. Apart from this the thickening of the arteries called arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and other problems like asthma, diabetes etc. is the causes of CAD. CAD produces a heart attack and so even the death of the concerned individual.

A heart attack it is also known as myocardial infarction, which can also occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into spasm, decreasing or cutting the blood flowing to the heart. A heart attack represents on or about half of all coronary heart disease deaths and can be caused by nearly all types of heart illness.

Functional disorders like techycardia, bradicardia or hypertension and arrhythmia (lack of rhythm in the heart beat) and angina pectoris (pain in the chest, behind the sternum) and a sense of impending death.

The heart has four chambers and four valves. The upper two chambers are the right atrium and left atrium - these collect the blood as it enters the heart. The lower two are the right ventricle and left ventricle - these pump blood out of the heart. There are two heart valves on each side. The mitral and aortic valves are on the left side and the tricuspid and pulmonary valves are on the right side. The valves open and close to let the blood flow in only one direction.

Excess of fats and cholesterol in the blood are made up of different fatty acids and glycerol. Cholesterol is a type of fat. Surplus of fats are stored as such in different parts of the body. A high level of cholesterol in the blood, particularly if it is held in combination in the form of LDL globules, leads to deposition in the walls of the blood vessels. Coronary artery disease, blood cholesterol level, and the amount of fat taken in the diet usually go hand in hand.

Know the Effects of Coffee http://www.brit-angel.net/know-the-effects-of-coffee/ http://www.brit-angel.net/know-the-effects-of-coffee/#comments Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:31:31 +0000 admin http://www.brit-angel.net/?p=84 Coffee has proved beneficial for asthma sufferers. Two to four small cups of coffee throughout the day will help to reduce the recurrence of asthma-attacks, and moderate their intensity. Coffee contains natural antioxidants called 'flavonoids' which are widely known as disease protectors. The beneficial effects of moderate caffeine consumption are widely recognized: caffeine works on alertness, mood, sensorial activity and memory. Of course, you may choose to take your daily caffeine ration from other foods and beverages, such as chocolate, carbonated drinks based on coca-nut extract, or tea.

Another benefit of drinking coffee has been studied in China. Their research clinically proved the caffeine in coffee helps to prevent Parkinson’s disease. Many of us have been led to believe that caffeine is bad for us. True enough, large quantities may hurt us, but the evidence is strong for the benefits it provides.

The flavored coffees that are becoming increasingly popular are usually based on bland, mediocre beans that are stirred with chemical flavoring essences after roasting. If these flavored beans are ground at home they will impart their flavors, possibly forever, on to your grinder and brewing apparatus. If you prefer a flavored coffee a better idea is to brew good coffee from unflavored beans and dose it modestly with one or more of the flavoring essences that can be purchased at many gourmet shops.

Coffee also has several metabolic effects that could reduce the risk of gallstone formation. According to a study conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), drinking coffee is associated with a 40 percent lower risk of gallstone disease in men. Men who drank four or more cups of regular coffee per day had a 45 percent lower risk profile.

Similar effects of caffeine have been seen in hypertensive subjects. In trials, caffeine administrated to hypertensive subjects raised systolic blood pressure but this result was no longer observed past the first 24 hours. In testing there were no effects on blood pressure of drinking caffeinated coffee or abstention in patients with borderline or slight hypertension.

These herbal products can help with brain defogging- ginkgo biloba or gota kola while Milk thistle can help the liver with the detoxification process. Be sure to take fiber as the colon will slow down without the stimulation from caffeine. And drinks lots of water. Take your supplements and give your body a chance to make the adjustments. Also look for adaptogenic herbs to support your adrenal glands. Exercise and breath deeply.

Coffee increases heart contractions and slightly increases blood pressure. However, one must bear in mind that continuous doses cause irritability of the coronary nerves, which causes tachycardia and alterations of the heartbeat (arrhythmia). Caffeine, by increasing the level of adrenaline in the blood, predisposes the body to heart attacks.

Drinking lots of coffee can also give you a higher level of homocysteine which can lead to heart disease. An increase in LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol has also been shown, but its hard to know whether this will lead to a heart attack or not. Cafestol is found in coffee and also thought to increase cholesterol in European brews that boil the beans in water. American coffee made through filtering or percolation is less likely to give this effect.

As a matter of fact, even the small quantities of trans fats consumed can prove to be quite harmful for the heart. Even if any processed food show zero value of the trans fat, still the foods with the hydrogenated oils should be avoided.

Choosing healthy fats and oils Saturated fat will increase the risk of heart disease. It's found in meat, butter, and even coconut oil. You should avoid them until your cholesterol levels are down and you are at a healthy weight. Even those that love red meats can enjoy seafood and nuts for their main sources of protein. Monounsaturated fats such as olive oils will help you to protect your heart. Olive oil is an ideal choice for cooking, dressing, or even as a dipping sauce.

Drinking tomato juice is a fantastic way to enjoy tomatoes. If you own a juicer, make your own. If you have to buy tomato juice make sure it's a pure juice with no added salt or sugar.

The health and medical community have been telling people for years that eating a healthy diet is one of the best ways to reverse the effects of heart disease. The first step is to avoid fatty foods, particularly saturated fat. Saturated fat leads to high levels of LDL Cholesterol, known as the bad cholesterol. This type of cholesterol forms plaque in the artery walls which narrows and hardens the arteries. This can cause a blood clot which can block the artery stopping blood flow or it can break free and cause a heart attack or stroke.

Fresh fruits and vegetable are just the perfect types of foods to lose weight. Moreover, Strawberries, citrus fruits, and vegetables like green peppers and tomatoes also make a great addition because these are low in calories and contains vitamin C. Another type of food that should be included is Avocadoes. This fruits are high in fiber has omega- 3 fatty acids which are not only good for the heart but also plays a very important role in brain function and also in our normal growth and development.

Effective and Useful Treatment for Dry Eyes http://www.brit-angel.net/effective-and-useful-treatment-for-dry-eyes-2/ http://www.brit-angel.net/effective-and-useful-treatment-for-dry-eyes-2/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:31:02 +0000 admin http://www.brit-angel.net/?p=82 Dry eyes can occur for a variety of reasons, some which may be attributable to contact wear and others can develop for other reasons. If your dry eyes are a result of contact wear or overwork, you can simply switch lenses or wear your lenses for shorter periods of time. However, if you have dry eye syndrome or an eye disease, your doctor probably has more suggestions for you.

Dry eyes occur for a number of reasons, although there is thought to be a particular link between extended contact lenses and dry eyes. Dry eyes are also prevalent with older contact lens wearers as tear ducts become less effective with age. Problems with contact lenses and dry eyes become exacerbated when wearers spend a considerable length of time in front of a computer screen or in an air-conditioned environment.

Tears serve an important function in the health of the eyes. They wash off dust, chemicals, germs and other foreign bodies. They control the microorganisms in the eyes with their enzymes. In a condition called ‘dry eyes,’ the tear gland does not secrete enough tears, or the quality of the liquid is poor and evaporates very fast. Normally the tears form three layers over the eye. The lacrimal glands produce water, and the small glands produce oil and mucus. The bottom mucus layer covers the cornea, and over it is the water layer with some nutrients. The outer oil layer prevents the water from evaporating.

The other problem could be the lack of enough secretion of the mucin layer in your eye. This is the layer that lies between the eye surface and the inside watery layer. When this mucous-like fluid is deficient, there is not enough of this slightly sticky substance to keep the eyes moist. This, too, could result in an uncomfortable or scratchy feeling in the eye. Sometimes, a lack of mucin makes one feel like there is a piece of grit in the eye that won't go away. Measuring this is not common but one can deduce that if it isn't any other cause, it could be a mucin deficiency.

If this treatment still does not completely eliminate the dry eyes, then Punctual plugs must be inserted. These are either collagen or synthetic plugs that are placed in the drainage area in the cornea of the lids. This prevents the tears from leaving the eye and thus improves comfort. The final treatment as a last resort is the use of wet cell eye glasses. These are glasses that look like swimming goggles and retain moisture in the eye area by physically sealing in the tear film.

Dry eye syndrome cannot be cured but artificial teardrops and lubricating ointments can relieve the symptoms but it is important to keep to regular applications even if your eyes feel fine. Eyes can dry out while you sleep so remember to apply a lubricant at bedtime. Other treatments include the temporary or permanent blocking of the ducts that drain the eyes and, surgery, and prescription medications as advised by your eye specialist.

The Importance of Breast Feeding http://www.brit-angel.net/the-importance-of-breast-feeding-2/ http://www.brit-angel.net/the-importance-of-breast-feeding-2/#comments Sun, 14 Jun 2009 07:30:38 +0000 admin http://www.brit-angel.net/?p=80 You should avoid alcoholic drinks as the alcohol does pass through to the baby and it can affect the baby’s weight and central nervous system. If you drink only occasionally, make sure you do it after you nurse. This means that alcohol level will be lower or gone before the next feeding. Avoid spicy or gassy foods as these can upset your baby’s delicate tummy.

Ideally you should start breast feeding the child within 2 hours of its birth, but do not worry if for some reason you are not able to do so - many mothers feed their children after a few days because of some medical reasons and they turn out to be just fine. Apart from milk avoid giving the child any water or pacifier because the child is still learning to breast-feed and things like the bottle nipple and pacifiers can confuse the baby while nursing because milk doesn’t flow as fast as it does through bottles.

If someone scowls at you, do not respond to them. Doing so will only upset you and your baby. If someone makes a comment, do your best to leave the comment hanging in the air. If you must reply, say something like, "Breast feeding is natural and it is in the best interests of the baby." Say it as though you were simply stating a fact.

Breastfeeding women need not increase their calorie intake, as used to be suggested, but it is important to support breastfeeding through healthy eating, and drinking lots of water. Beware of eating hydrogenated fats, as these reduce the amount of nutritious ‘cream’ in breast milk. Ensure breasts are well supported at all times with a well-fitting bra, and especially during exercise with a good sports bra.

Be aware that breasts usually change size through pregnancy, breastfeeding and weaning, so you may need to splash out on more than one sports bra to cover the period from early pregnancy through to weaning; having a well-fitting sports bra is of paramount importance, and worth the investment.

Well much of it has to do with the human problems with nudity and a lot has to do with the number of perverts out there due to the problems of nudity and the taboo of the Church or various religious organizations. Theoretically there is absolutely nothing wrong with breast-feeding in public as it is such a natural thing to do and our species must do this as it is part of the genetic make-up and nurturing of the next generation.

Get lots of vegetables and fruits – try and have an intake of 5 portions a day of fruit and vegetables. For additional energy try and take in starch rich foods such as bread, pasta, potatoes, pulses and rice – this will provide a good source of energy. Foods such as whole meal bread, vegetables, pulses, cereals and pastas will provide fiber – women occasionally experience bowel problems after childbirth and an intake of fiber on a daily basis will help with this.

Classification of Lupus http://www.brit-angel.net/classification-of-lupus/ http://www.brit-angel.net/classification-of-lupus/#comments Sat, 13 Jun 2009 10:28:34 +0000 admin http://www.brit-angel.net/?p=70 Lupus is an auto immune disease which means that the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue. The result of these attacks is chronic inflammation and although the severity of Lupus can vary greatly, it can ultimately be a fatal disease. Lupus is a condition where the immune system creates anti bodies, which circulate in the blood stream and attack various tissues and organs in the body. Some times only the tissue of the skin is affected but in other cases the internal organs become targeted. Cases where only skin tissue is affected is called discoid lupus, but the more pervasive and serious form is referred to as systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE for short. SLE commonly attacks the heart, lungs, kidneys, joints and nervous system.

Systemic lupus erythematosus has an unpredictable evolution. People with the disease can experience short periods of symptomatic remission between episodes of symptomatic intensification. Most lupus treatments are focused upon extending the periods of remission and on ameliorating the symptoms of the disease. Although there is no effective cure for lupus, most medical treatments can keep the disease under control. However, due to the pronounced chronic character of the disease, patients require ongoing lupus treatment.

Lupus can affect almost any part of your body, including your joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. There is no way to know what part of your body will be affected. For most people though, lupus are a mild disease affecting only a few parts of your body, and some patients don't get inner organ problems (like in the heart and lungs), but do have skin and joint problems.

The treatment of lupus greatly differs from a patient to another, lupus sufferers receiving a certain type of medications according to their experienced symptoms and the seriousness of the disease. Thus, the treatment of lupus is often personalized, comprising many different types of medications and therapies. Lupus patients (especially patients diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus) are commonly administered combination treatments, targeted at countering the occurrence and aggravation of the multitude of symptoms characteristic to this type of autoimmune disease.

Treatment options for Lupus have come a long way in the past ten years. There was a time when a systemic lupus diagnosis came with a three year life expectancy. Today, lupus is not expected to end in termination of life, but living with the chronic pain and the difficulties are tremendously difficult and even terrifying. Lupus is a sneaky disease, traveling from one part of the body to another seeking out “enemy intruders” that are nothing more than normal bodily organs. A confused immune system can do a lot of damage, and learning to cope with the inconsistent and blind siding pain is a daily struggle.

The natural ingredients used to make this medicine make it free from side effects. By using this medicine you will be able to get rid of the discomforts of Lupus without sacrificing your health. You will also be able to lead a trouble free life by avoiding the side effects that are common to other medications such as stomach upset, liver and kidney inflammation, weight gain, weakened bones, damage to arteries and high blood pressure.

Get the effective treatment of psoriasis http://www.brit-angel.net/get-the-effective-treatment-of-psoriasis/ http://www.brit-angel.net/get-the-effective-treatment-of-psoriasis/#comments Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:28:09 +0000 admin http://www.brit-angel.net/?p=68 Psoriasis is a disease of the skin. Psoriasis causes scaling and swelling of the skin. Normally, cells grow deep in the skin, and then slowly rise in about a month’s time, to the surface. This process is called cell turnover. In people with psoriasis, this process will happen in a few days. This causes cells to pile up on the skins surface. Psoriasis causes patches of thick, red skin covered with silvery scales. The patches, also called plaques, can itch or burn. They are often found on the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, palms, face and soles of the feet. They can show up on almost any skin site.

With psoriasis, the body is producing skin cells much faster than normal. New skin usually generates and rises to the surface in about thirty days, but for people who have psoriasis, that skin gets pushed to the surface in just three or four days instead. This causes a build up of skin cells which are referred to as plaques or patches of psoriasis, and they're most often seen on the elbows, knees and scalp. Psoriasis plaques can appear anywhere on the body though, including the feet, face and genitals.

Psoriasis flare ups are common when you are weak or tired. Taking a balanced diet while reducing red meats and alcohol will go a long way in helping the skin to maintain a calm milieu interior. Patients should also drink plenty of water and get at least 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every day. Do moderate exercises at least 3-4 times every week.

The argument or philosophy that there is no cure for psoriasis is not really true. We need to have an open approach to all systems of medicines for no single system can claim superiority or authority over the others in understanding the complex human system and its problems. There are very effective indigenous systems and natural remedies that could give lasting solution to the problem.

Developing psoriasis does not always give you obvious and unmistakable symptoms, but there are some common psoriasis symptoms that will help you get a better idea as to whether you have this condition or not. If you show symptoms of psoriasis, it's best to speak to your doctor or medical care specialist for an official diagnosis.

Herbal psoriasis treatments also include topical creams, ointments, salves or bath soaks which can help relieve some of the more problematic symptoms of psoriasis. These often include aloe vera to help soften the skin plaques, oatmeal baths which can also soften the skin and help it flake off more, and herbs which are known to be excellent skin healers such as chickweed and comfrey.

Vitamin D reduce skin inflammation and help prevent skin cells from reproducing. Vitamin D analogue that may be used alone to treat mild to moderate psoriasis. There can be substantial variation between individuals in the effectiveness of specific psoriasis treatments. Moisturizers help sooth affected skin and reduce the dryness which accompanies the build-up of skin on psoriatic plaques.

A Cancer Treatment - Chemotherapy http://www.brit-angel.net/a-cancer-treatment-chemotherapy/ http://www.brit-angel.net/a-cancer-treatment-chemotherapy/#comments Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:18:54 +0000 admin http://www.brit-angel.net/?p=39 Chemotherapy is a treatment for cancers that involves administering chemicals into the body that are found toxic to malignant cells. Chemotherapy, often successful in treating malignant cancer cells, often produces intense side effects in the body. According to a review published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, certain types of acupuncture-point stimulation may relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea or vomiting. Despite significant progress over the past decade in controlling chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, more than half of all patients receiving chemotherapy still suffer from these side effects. Furthermore, nausea may persist when vomiting is controlled. These symptoms can be severely debilitating and often lead patients to refuse further courses of chemotherapy. Refusing chemotherapy can minimize the chance for optimal health outcome.

Chemotherapy is a treatment used to treat cancer by using drugs. Usually, it is used after surgery to control growth or reappearance of cancer cells. It is very systematic method in which drugs are entered through the blood stream and travels throughout the body to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy is also used in combination that gives better results. You can go through chemotherapy at home, clinic or hospital. Duration of chemotherapy depends on the type, stage and current health of patient that it can be given as daily, weekly, monthly or an on-off schedule.

This site is packed with educational and support information about chemotherapy. An excellent resource for cancer patients as well as their caregivers. You will find information to better understand cancer, articles on treating cancer with chemotherapy as well as other treatment options, facts about chemotherapy side effects, and tools to help you with insurance, support organizations, tracking your test results and more. You can sign up to receive a complimentary one-year subscription to "Women and Cancer" magazine.

The final reason why ovarian cancer chemotherapy is important is because you are giving the medical community a chance to study the best ways of treating the disease. This is especially the case if you are getting ovarian cancer chemotherapy in a clinical trial. Even if you feel your life is 'over,' think about the lives of your daughter, granddaughter or any other women that will survive you. You never know what new facts could be found out by your treatment.

Chemotherapy is used pre-operatively to shrink the tumor, making it easier to remove and surgery less invasive. In a post-operative treatment plan, chemotherapy is almost used as a preventive, to kill any cells which are too small for detection and removal during surgery. Some cancers may not be able to be completely removed during surgery, because of the risk to the patient. In this case, chemotherapy is used, not as a cure, but to reduce the tumor, and thus, the symptoms.

Chemotherapy drugs are powerful medications that attack rapidly growing cancer cells. Unfortunately, these drugs also attack other rapidly growing cells in your body - including those in your hair roots. Chemotherapy hair loss and changes in skin and body can be devastating after effects of cancer treatment.

Both are naturally occurring substances in the body. The former aids in building joint cartilage, while the latter fights against degeneration of cartilage. Studies have proven their effectiveness in alleviating osteoarthritic joint pain, but have yet to demonstrate that these supplements actually reverse the effects of cartilage degeneration that have already taken place.

Depression among Children - Know the Facts http://www.brit-angel.net/depression-among-children-know-the-facts/ http://www.brit-angel.net/depression-among-children-know-the-facts/#comments Sun, 07 Jun 2009 15:17:16 +0000 admin http://www.brit-angel.net/?p=35 Depression regardless of its cause can also be a cause of obesity. Children suffering from depression stay at home more often. Since they have difficulty relating with other children they prefer to stay at home and watch television instead. They become couch potato. They have the tendency to eat more than what is being required of them. If this continues these children will gain weight above the ideal weight for their age. Overtime, these children become obese. They have less time engaging in physical activities too, which could aggravate their weight problem.

Alcoholism is matter of serious concern, not confined to any group, culture or country. Universally it creates professional, social, financial, legal, medical, psychological, and familial problems. The cost of alcoholism to the society is staggering by any calculations. Lost working days, accidents and related disability, family disrupts and resulting juvenile problems, and direct medical complications of alcohol abuse add up to a significant proportion of loss to nations” economy and well being. Alcoholism thus becomes a complex phenomenon deserving attention from deferent angles.

The case for exercise and health has primarily been made on its impact on diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. However, there has been increasing research into the role of exercise in improving mental well-being, including global self-esteem.

A behavioral problem, such as fighting with parents and getting in trouble in school or with the law, is a major risk factor. Many people wrongly assume that teens who are sensitive and shy are the ones who are prone to suicide. In reality, the arrogant and obnoxious teenager is more prone to self destruction. He may seem to keep the world away in order to protect himself, but his greatest enemy is own lonely and depressed self. Unlike the shy ones, the obnoxious teen can come up with the “guts” to take away his own life.

For people going though depression, doctors often prescribe some common pills. However, FDA has warned that these drugs may lead to Antidepressant Suicides. Some of the most commonly prescribed pills are Prozac fluoxetine, Zoloft sertraline, Paxil paroxetine, Luvox fluvoxamine, Celexa citalopram, Lexapro escitalopram, Wellbutrin bupropion, Flexors venlafaxine, Serzone nefazodone, Remeron mirtazapine. FDA has appealed to pharmaceutical companies manufacturing all these drugs to issue a renewed suicide warning labels, on all these pills.

Depression in children and teenagers must be treated as a disease and should be diagnosed as early as possible. It requires continuous medical attention, and counseling at medical and family levels is a must. Depression among children and teenagers is often treated with cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy. Selective serotonin uptake inhibitors like Prozac and Zoloft are often considered to be the most effective strategies in dealing with symptoms of depression prevalent among children and teenagers.

Other causes of depression can include any physical changes that occur to our bodies. Severe medical conditions like Parkinson's disease, heart attacks, strokes and diabetes can make the individual believe that there is nothing worthwhile living for. The idea that your body cannot no longer do the things your mind expects it to do can create and overwhelming desire to believe that life will not be the same and it becomes easy to slip into a negative spiral of emotions but than treat such situations as positive influences on the changing circumstances of life. By feeling depressed the rate of recovery is delayed.
