Exercising with empty Stomach not effective to burn fat

Health-Net: The desire to be thin fast, some people exercising on an empty stomach, Though this is not an effective way to burn fat, the muscles will shrink because it is used more calories derived from protein combustion.

The notion that exercising on an empty stomach to maximize fat burning is quite reasonable at first glance. If the stomach is filled before exercise, the calories used to disproportionately from food and not the result of burning fat.

However, recent research published in the Strength and Conditioning Journal pointed out, burning fat is not increased despite not eating before exercise. The amount of fat burned just the same as when exercise was preceded by eating enough.

When not eating, calories used to produce energy during exercise are not entirely derived from burning fat. Some of them actually come from the combustion of protein, which are the most dominant elements that make up muscle tissue.

In that study, researchers looked at a number of burning calories cycling athletes who are asked to exercise on an empty stomach. Observations showed that 10 percent of calories derived from burning a protein that makes muscles shrink.

According to the study, eating before exercise is more advisable from time was not too close together. Excerpted from the NYTimes on Wednesday June 28, 2011, exercise on an empty stomach is more effective to lose weight and even more negative effects.

While in another study, eating before exercise actually provide more benefits, especially in women, which is not hungry faster. According to research conducted in 2002, the consumption of 45 grams of carbohydrate before exercise can maintain satiety for longer throughout the day.

...and in the end... you simply have to find peace in your circumstances

Back in November 2010, I was selected (along with several other breast cancer survivors) to participate in a photo shoot for a breast cancer company. As women do when we gather, we laughed and chatted and eventually we shared pieces of our stories with each other. We all were breast cancer survivors. Some of us had only been through it once, while others had fought the disease several times. For some of us breast cancer was our first time dealing with a major illness and others had dealt with other types of cancer and other types of major illnesses.

But, as much as I was a participant, I was also an observer. And as I watched these women in their varying stages of recovery and healing... I found myself wondering how would I react and adapt to life if faced with their circumstances? So... today when I read on the blog of one of these wonderful women, that her breast cancer has returned and is metastasized to her liver... I broke down and wept.

The other day she posted that she was getting her affairs in order. I thought it was an interesting and funny post -- I had not yet realized that she was facing a terminal recurrence -- and considered doing something similar here. And then today, I went back a few posts and realized that she was looking at the finality of her life because of this disease.

Sigh. All the pink ribbons and fundraisers and prayers and good wishes... all the medications and surgeries and treatments... and in the end -- because there will be an end -- it comes down to accepting what is, finding joy in as many things as you can and having dignity (and laughter) when (if) they tell you that there simply isn't anything else that can be done at this point.

I pray that the peace and the grace that she's exhibited in her blog... will be mine if (or when) I'm faced with the same diagnosis.

Please meet my pink ribbon sister Ann: http://www.butdoctorihatepink.com/2011/06/i-owe-you-apology.html

So... I'm a rebel now. I dyed my hair.

Some women color their hair as often as they buy new shoes. I'm not one of those girls. So when my oncologist told me that I couldn't dye my hair, it didn't bother me in the least. Not dying my hair was something easy for me to give up -- I didn't do it anyway. Some of the other restrictions he gave me -- no acrylic nails, no smoking cigars, limiting my alcohol intake -- were a lot more difficult to accept. (I gave up the pretty but fake fingernails and I gave up cigar smoking but drinking has been something I simply refuse to give up).

When the thought hit me about a week or two ago that I needed a spark, a change in my life... coloring my hair seemed like an easy change that might make me feel better. At first, I did my research and searched for natural products to use on my hair. My friends advised me about products that I could use that were limited in their toxicity and would probably not cause me any problem. But you know... when I found myself in Bed, Bath and Beyond looking for a few toiletry items... the box of "intense red" caught my eye and was in my basket before I even considered looking at the ingredient listing.

I know it was full of crap that I wouldn't normally want next to my skin. I knew that. But, I simply wanted my hair to be different and I figured that I would take the toxic risk. Now that I've colored my hair -- and for the record, I'm not that thrilled with it -- I'm really wondering why in the world I did this to myself. Well, let me be frank. I know why I did it. My life is pretty dull and somewhat boring. I'm frustrated about a lot of things and changing my hair color was something that was within my ability to control that I felt would be a big enough change that I would feel differently.

However, what I really feel is very sickened with myself. I'm not physically ill. But I am disappointed with myself for taking an unnecessary risk that I simply did not need to take. I look at my life as a series of equations...and ultimately, my goal for each day is to do as little harm to myself as possible. On those days where I feel that I may go over in one area -- such as going out for drinks -- I try to cut back other ways (or increase other things) to offset the problem. For example, if I know I'm planning to go out and have a few drinks then I increase my water intake for a couple of days before I go out and I make sure that I have plenty of lemon water (and sometimes gatorade) to replenish my system for a couple of days afterwards. It may not make any difference at all, but it makes me feel that I'm limiting the harm that I expose myself to. But this hair dye is a constant reminder that I just subjected myself to toxins purely for vanity's sake. And its making me really disappointed with myself.

Let me add this... I am growing very weary of searching for toiletry items that are made without all the bad/horrible stuff that makes products shelf-stable but toxic and possibly cancerous. The search is tired because when I do find products I usually don't like the way they smell or the way they feel. Or I find someone online who creates them at their home but that requires ordering and waiting -- sometimes for weeks -- for the products to arrive and it gets expensive. While I was wandering around in Bed, Bath and Beyond trying to find a body wash that didn't repulse me... I remembered how simple it used to be to shop for myself compared to the dance I do now. I am sure that my grabbing that box of hair color had a lot to do with my impatience with searching all over town (or the internet) for something that works for me. Why is it all so doggone complicated?

At any rate... I've dyed my hair a strange reddish color. I would post a picture but... I'm vain and I don't like it. (laughs) I took a dip on the wild side once, but I don't do it again. The annoyance of always having to plan everything out is something that I know that I simply must get accustomed to... but I suppose that an occasional slip up might be ok.

Formation of Cancer due to Physically Reactive Substances

Some animal and human studies that were held in the United Kingdom 300 years back have proved that skin cancer is formed in the people who had constant contact with coal0 tar and dirt, as well as rats when painted with coal tar also got skin cancer. This is because of a material called dibenzanthracene, a compound of coal tar and coal dust.

Many food substances we have containing a chemical compound called benzapyrene and this is also found in industrial smokes. These benzapyrene containing smoke may mix up with the snow in the sky and flow back to the plants and vegetables during raining, and so we consume them.

Plentiful of additional elements containing cancer-forming chemicals, such as chemical coloring agents, tars, aromatic agents, urethane, a mixture of metals for example newly found aflatoxin, nickel, beryllium, arsenic, chromium metal, asbestos, and some hormones. Innumerable chemical substances made the most of therapeutic amalgams are able to bring about cancer.

A female sex hormone named diethyl stilbesterol is almost certainly the most excellent instance of having been shown to crossways the placenta in addition to produce vaginal cancer of a type of adenocarcinoma in women who put away hefty amounts all through their pregnancy period. The application of estrogens, a female sex hormone, in women who attain the age of menopause has also been brought into being connected by way of a extreme noteworthy raise in danger of uterine cancer.

One type of lung cancer type called mesothelioma, this is a cancer of pleura of the lung, and a casing coating above the lungs, is a cancer of a tumor type, taking place in persons who are out to the open to asbestos in industries. In current years, it has been identified that asbestos related industrial employees as well possess a considerably amplified menace for lung cancer. On the other hand, this danger is connected with smoking habit, which contains a remarkable synergistic consequence. The worker of asbestos who is as well a severe smoker would have more probability of risk of lung cancer. A synthetic dye material agent called aniline exposure in many cases lead to urinary bladder cancer.

Therefore we can observe that there are a lot of cancer creating chemical substances in our background contact for extended or brief period is able to create one likely to acquiring lung cancer and also other sort of cancers.

Chewing Gum can help the Colon Cancer Recovery

Health-Net: Chewing gum could actually help cancer patients recover quickly after their intestinal surgery. Doctors at a hospital in London, England, suggested to the colon cancer patients to chew gum with sugar low so that their digestive systems back to normal so quickly recovered.

Research shows that patients who had undergone surgery two days of bowel cancer could quickly return if the chewing gum. Chewing gum also helps the mother who is recovering from a caesarean, as well as patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Before digestion they recover, they can experience severe cramps.

Once there the study, surgeons at University College London hospitals ask patients to undergo colon cancer surgery to provide a stock of gum. They have to chew gum three times a day, each within an hour, after undergoing surgery.

Pages of The Telegraph on Sunday June 26, 2011, wrote that many patients who undergo surgery to benefit after chewing gum. Consultant surgeon, Alastair Windsor, said the general, patients take a long time to recover after surgery because their digestive system is asleep.

It seems that chewing gum can trigger the saliva, which can turn on enzyme production in the pancreas which then triggers the digestion becomes active again, said Windsor.

Generally, the patient liked the way it is because they feel to do something to help them quickly recover. Not known how quickly chewing gum may help recovery, but that does not mean it that way is underestimated.

Five Steps to Increase Metabolism

Health-Net: You eat more healthy than usual, but the muscles are relaxed, decreased energy and shrinking clothing, especially at the waist, hips, and thighs. In fact, the base metabolic rate, the amount of calories we burn each day, down in accordance with our age, decreased by 1 percent every year starting from age 30.

A recent study showed some things you can do to combat the decline in metabolism. When our metabolism decreases, not only related to age. The composition of the body that is dominated by genes, diet, activity and play an important role in this, said Dr. Christine Gerbstadt, MD, spokesperson and nutritionist at the American Dietetic Association.

Here are five steps to increase metabolism:

1. Sports expenses
Because fats are burned in the muscle, you have to do activities that use muscle as often as possible. Increase exercise can reduce the burden of the muscle, to increase the number of calories burned in the body. In addition, the reduction in fat in the body and muscles, the blood will flow better and can increase energy without having to eat a lot.

2. Start eating
The body moves like a machine, in other words, the body needs to be given intake in order to provide energy for life. According to Mark MacDonald, author of Body Confidence famous book, The consistency of the diet stabilizes blood sugar levels and balancing the hormones in the body, and keeps you awake from storing the excess weight. Mark's advice: eat one hour after waking up to enhance your metabolism, and then keep eating every 3-4 hours before bedtime.

3. Proteins in food and snacks
Protein has the greatest metabolic triggers than fat and carbohydrates. Biting, chewing, swallowing, and digesting food requires energy, is also known as thermal effects of food and can burn up to 30 percent of calories you eat. The more complex foods such as steak, legumes, and vegetable fiber, the more calories you burn along his journey through the digestive tract. Proteins such as leucin, an amino acid that prevents muscle loss during a meal. Easy strategy: for a quick snack and a young, store nuts in your bag, desk drawer, and eggs in the refrigerator.

4. Move
Exercise regularly to increase the intensity of the cardio workout will boost your metabolism rate and makes you feel refreshed. So, instead of doing regular exercise on a treadmill for half an hour, do it for one hour at a speed of 4.5 mph. Try running in sand or on the street using a path that turns up naturally. Dr suggestions. Gerbstadt, do extra exercise to burn calories anytime you want.

5. Drinking water
Research shows people who drank 8 ml of water as much as 8-12 times a day will have a base metabolic rate than those who drank only 4 times. If you want to remove 12 pounds in a year, drank half a liter of water at breakfast. According to researchers from Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, people who drink water before eating his first meal will consume 75 fewer calories at breakfast than those who did not drink it.

Focus groups and clinical studies... a way of giving back

I spent today participating in a cancer focus group activity. I have begun to do this a lot more frequently since my treatment. I think of participating in focus groups and clinical trials as my way of giving more of myself to the cancer community and doing a small thing that may help to eradicate this disease. Or, at the minimum, help in the understanding, treatment of and support for those who have to deal with it. Today's activity was actually not a group but a one - on - one session with a very nice interviewer.

While I was given a small stipend for my participation, it didn't cover my expenses getting to the appointment and back. But it was an incentive for me to go. The entire appointment didn't last longer than an hour but it was a very intense hour because I had to discuss a lot of very personal aspects of dealing with my cancer... and it dredged up a lot more feelings than I thought that it would.

I enjoyed the focus group today, as much as I've enjoyed all of the other ones that I've participated in. Its such a minimal intrusion on my life but I know that someone is paying attention to what my thoughts are and it is impacting how they approach other cancer survivors and cancer research. For me, that's worth all of the effort.

While I was in treatment, I was asked to participate in a clinical study. My participation was minimal. I only had to contribute a little more blood than I was already giving up during my normal chemo appointments and measure a few other things. *shrug* Again, not much of an intrusion in my life and if it helps someone, its totally worth it.

There are plenty of organizations out there who are conducting surveys, clinical studies and focus groups in an effort to wrangle this breast cancer beast to the ground. I'll post a few at the end of this post. I hope that you consider joining one (or a few) and I really hope that you pass the word along so that people you know can join in the effort too. Every little bit really does help.

PS. This list is just a few organizations that I know about and/or may have participated in activities with. If you learn of others, please feel free to share with me. :)

The benefits of low-fat chocolate milk

Health-Net: After the fatigue of exercise, you definitely want to drink fresh and cold. One of the most widely drunk is isotonic. However, a study from the University of Texas revealed that the ideal beverage consumed after exercise is milk chocolate.

Milk chocolate effectively boost the power is depleted, says Head of Research Dr. John Ivy, reports the Daily Mail on Thursday June 23, 2011. Better than other beverages that contain high carbohydrates.

Ivy and her team compared the body condition of the athletes after they are training hard. Types of beverages are most effective to restore the condition of the body, whether it is milk chocolate or isotonic drinks.

They examined 10 cyclists who trained for 90 minutes. Apparently, athletes who drank low-fat chocolate milk are more powerful than when they drank isotonic drinks.

The research team also tested 32 amateur cyclists made up of men and women. For four weeks, they were asked to practice with different beverages, namely water, isotonic drinks, and low-fat chocolate milk.

The researchers then found that respondents who drank chocolate milk are more powerful than respondents with other beverages. In addition, they also receive the maximum oxygen intake. With the amount of oxygen that comes in, then someone will be more robust workout.

We have not got an answer why the low-fat chocolate milk is very nutritious. We will do research about it more, said Ivy. The research was published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.

Getting marriage can help cancer patients to survive

Health-Net: Getting married is one of the most beautiful moments in life. However, many cancer survivors afraid to get married for fear of wasting time and it will bother others.

In fact, according to a study conducted in the United States, cancer patients may increase the chances of healing of malignant cells in their bodies by getting married.

As in reports from the Daily Mail, a study conducted by Penn State College of Medicine and Brigham Young University revealed that cancer patients who get married have a 14 percent lower risk of escape from death. This occurs both with men and women.

The study also showed that the patient's condition can be diagnosed early. They are also more willing to take aggressive treatment such as chemotherapy.

However, researchers do not yet know how the institution of marriage can help cancer patients to survive. They speculate, the couple can care for and encourage the spirit to overcome the disease.

According to Sven Wilson, co-author and professor from Brigham Young University, the most important key to controlling the healing process is the stage at which cancer was detected. This is what underlies the next step after diagnosis.

With a partner, the patient will be helpful in determining the types of problems. So quick to take action, he said.

But unfortunately, the study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology comparison did not examine the health of people with cancer who are married and unmarried.

Concentration while eating can make you slim

Health-Net: Enjoy every bite and the pervading sense of food, it can make you slim. Try to always eat with full concentration, because that's the key to controlling the desire to eat and lose weight. Not expensive diet pills or slimming package with exorbitant prices.

How to eat like this serves to ensure that the mind in tune with your body, making it possible to 'hear' chemical messages that tell if the stomach is feeling full.

Based on research by a team from Harvard University in the United States, eating in a way that can lose weight.

Researchers termed it a mindful eating, which is inspired by Buddhist teachings. Digestion involves a complex series of hormonal signals between the gut and nervous system. It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to know that the body is full.

This means, if a person eats too quickly, the full signal will be delayed. Because the brain is too late to receive full messages, people tend to consume excess food.

Likewise, other activities are done while eating, such as work, play computer, or watching television. It can make a person overweight because it makes eating becomes unfocused.

mindful eating its very easy. Taken up from your computer to lunch for a moment, this makes you more focused and really enjoyed the food consumed, said Elaine Underwood, from Kallo Food Academy, an online community of mindful eating, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

The principle of mindful eating is by Kallo Food Academy, is enjoying the details of food by chewing slowly and remembers the taste, aroma, texture to color. Interested in trying?

Concentration while eating can make you slim

Health-Net: Enjoy every bite and the pervading sense of food, it can make you slim. Try to always eat with full concentration, because that's the key to controlling the desire to eat and lose weight. Not expensive diet pills or slimming package with exorbitant prices.

How to eat like this serves to ensure that the mind in tune with your body, making it possible to 'hear' chemical messages that tell if the stomach is feeling full.

Based on research by a team from Harvard University in the United States, eating in a way that can lose weight.

The soul of a survivor... inspires us all

The Susan G. Komen Tidewater affiliate, Survivor of the Year -- Lynne Young.

I just read the most touching article about a pink ribbon sister that I've never met -- though now that I've read about her, I want to meet her and talk to her one on one. This sister has had breast cancer stalking her family line for generations... and yet she serves to inspire and motivate others.

I love it.

I will repost the article because I think we all can gain a little bit of inspiration and strength from Lynne Young.

Chesapeake breast cancer survivor leads by example



By Vicki Friedman
The Virginian-Pilot
© June 20, 2011
CHESAPEAKE

Bad report from the doctor // And my bills aren’t paid on time // All these things come rushin’ at me // But I ain’t got time to whine // Lord I need your mighty wisdom // ’cause my situation is unclear // Don’t know where to turn // God’s word came to my ear // I say speak to that mountain of cancer // And cast down that spirit of fear // Pack your bags, you silly demon // I say you’re not welcome here

Lynne Young wrote those lyrics when her situation was cancer. But the Chesapeake woman hopes her song will inspire others to persevere through their hardships, whether they are related to health, family, finances or what she calls “the other speed bumps of life.” Young, named Survivor of the Year by the Tidewater affiliate of the Susan B. Komen Foundation, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. That is only part of her story.

“One of the things that makes Lynne such a strong individual is that she has not been defined by her cancer,” said Ilona Webb-Bruner, executive director of the local Komen affiliate. “What she does is use her cancer to empower those in the community and in her own family to make the best decisions in their lives.”

Young’s mother, Frances, died of breast cancer at 42, when Young was a seventh-grader. All of her mother’s sisters died from it, as did her grandmother.

“Growing up with four sisters, you wonder, ‘Who’s going to be next?’ ” said Young, an administrative specialist with the Department of the Navy. “You don’t say it, but it’s always in the back of your mind.”

She was in her 20s when mammograms became an annual part of her life. The results were never alarming, including in October 2004, when she received another clean bill of health.

Three months later Young experienced breast tenderness, body aches typical of the menstrual cycle and intense itching, which felt like an internal itch she couldn’t scratch. In bed one night, she realized she could not lie on her left side because of the pain.

Doctors found a cyst. Cysts had been a constant in her life, so another one didn’t seem out of the ordinary. But tests indicated the lump was abnormal and required a biopsy. In March, Young was told she had breast cancer.

She was 41.

“I didn’t think it would happen that early,” Young said. “You always think it will happen to somebody else. When the doctor called and told me, my co-workers caught me. I don’t even know what I did.”

The cancer was a highly aggressive form. Young was advised to have a double mastectomy because of the family history, but she was hesitant. A second opinion presented her with options, including being tested for the genetic mutation of the disease.

A positive result would mean Young would have an 80 percent chance of the cancer reoccurring without the most aggressive surgery.

“It takes about six weeks to get the answer back, and that’s six weeks of torture,” Young said.

The test came back positive. Young’s response: “Do what you have to do. I want to live.”

The nine-hour surgery took tissue from her abdomen to replace the breast tissue. The ensuing chemotherapy was brutal because of several allergic reactions that hospitalized her three times.

Young didn’t let it depress her.

“I’m a fighter. It can come and knock on my door, but it ain’t going to keep me down,” she said.

Young is 47. Breast cancer has touched her again. Last month she helped daughter Javalle Glass, 27, through her own surgery – a gut-wrenching experience. Family history prompted Glass to be tested for the genetic mutation, and it paid off.

“Her doctor suggested I get the BRCA test and I got that, and it made me aware of my risk so they were able to screen me early,” Glass said. “I know I’m going to be OK because my mom is a survivor as well. I know I have a lot better chance of success than maybe 10 or 15 years ago.”

Young has taken a lead role the Komen youth initiative that provides outreach through middle and high schools, and she is especially passionate about the Circle of Promise, which helps African American women take charge of their health and be community ambassadors.

According to Komen, breast cancer death rates were similar for white and African American women in the early 1980s, but during 2001-05, African American women had a 37 percent higher death rate.

“We’re trying to reach those who aren’t knocking on the door asking for more information,” said Young, wearing a pink blouse with matching earrings and necklace that show the ribbon that promotes breast cancer awareness. “Early detection is the key, and that’s what I advise. Stay on top of your health.”

Another nugget she shares: “We all have to be our own advocate for our own health. We have to be our first advocate, because the doctors only know what we tell them. They can’t look for things you can’t tell them.”

If your doctor doesn’t listen to you, shop around for another, she said.

Attitude is important, too, she said. Young conveys hers through inspirational music that she writes and sings in a beautiful melodic style.

“What keeps me going, what makes me a survivor, what is part of Survivor 101, is that I know God’s purpose in my life outshines any obstacle or any speed bump that tries to get in my way,” Young said. “I looked at breast cancer as a speed bump, just an obstacle to slow me down. I know there’s a higher purpose for everything. That’s what keeps me going.”

Men are affected by your breast cancer too

I was surprised to learn that a lot of my blog followers are men. For some reason, I assumed that guys would not be interested in reading about my fabulous boobies. (smile) I was wrong... and I've realized that I've been very wrong about the depth of pain and anguish that the men in a breast cancer survivor's life feel.

I will say this upfront -- men baffle me. I have tons of male friends, plenty of male cousins, a younger brother, lots of uncles and a daddy... and I don't understand the way a man's mind works when it comes to emotions at all. I just don't understand it. That said, when I was going through treatment, I felt that my boyfriend did not understand what I was going through or how to handle it and I purchased a book that I had hoped would help him (and me too). However, I ended up reading it myself. The book, "Breast Cancer Husband: How to Help Your Wife (and Yourself) during Diagnosis, Treatment and Beyond", was very interesting and very enlightening for me. Written by the husband of a woman with breast cancer, it spoke in a very different way than the other books I had read about dealing with breast cancer. It was definitely written by a man for a man.

I find myself talking to a lot of guys about the women in their lives who are dealing with breast cancer. And I am always honored that they trust me enough to share their concerns and to ask me what they can do to help. My father has had to deal with breast cancer twice. First, one of his younger sisters had it and then just a few years later, I had it. However, my dad isn't the kind of guy to talk about his feelings and stuff (laughs) so you have to try to interpret what he's feeling by his actions. I believe that he was very hurt and I see/hear that same pain when I talk to other men who try to cope with the breast cancer monster. My only advice to any guy who is trying to cope with this is simply... do your best to simply be there.

Its Father's day weekend and I want to say Happy Father's day to all of the dads in the world -- especially the dads of beautiful little girls who had to fight the breast cancer monster.

CAUSES AND ORIGINS OF CANCER

In foreign countries, like United States cancer is the second most cause of death, where 1.4 million cancer cases are diagnosied annually. One third of the members will develop some type of invasive cancer during their lifetime. In that proportion women have an approximately 1:7 lifetime chance of developing breast cancer and men have an approximately 1:5 chance of developing prostate cancer. Most of the cancers and their causes remains unknown for someone. In the recent stage, mutations in DNA sequences which leads to abnormal or unregulated expression of protoncogenes or deletion of tumor suppressor genes or both processes have been linked or connected to abnormal cellular proliferation. For cellular growth, oncogenes encode factor receptors, growth factors, or elements of the proliferative machinery of the cancer cell. Tumor suppressor genes govern regulatory proteins that normally suppress cellular proliferation. 

Due to environmental exposure, genetic susceptibility, infectious agensts, and other factors this cancer results from these and other mutations. The chromosomal abnormalities such as inversions, translocations, duplications or deletions were exhibited in most of the tumours. Certain genetic alterations are strongly associated with specific malignancies although not in particular. The c-myc oncogene in burkitt's lymphoma is activated by translocation of genetic material from chromosome 8 to chromosome 14. The loss of the long arm of chromosome 18 predicts a poor outcome in colon cancer. 

A tumour suppressor termed DCC which means deleted in colorectal cancer is thought to be inactivated by this loss. When compared with colorectal cancers that express DCC, deletion of DCC is associated with a 30% reduction in stage II cancers amd 20% in stage III in the 5-year survival rate. 

Cancer occurs more in people after 50 or 60 years of age. In most of the older people around 80 years or above, some characteristics of cancer have been noted during life and after their death in post-martem studies of people suffering from cancers. 1. Lung and stomach cancer were seen in many cases, both in males and females. 2. In men, small microscopic cancers of the prostate were very common. 3. The type of adenocarcinoma, lung cancer was found often and was commoner in women than in men. 4. The growth in rate of cancers in general was slow. 5. The typs of cancers arising in different organs at the same was not an uncommon feature. 6. Lesions regarded as precursors to cancers were often observed in stomach, colon and lungs.

The most extreme way to Lose Weight

Health-Net: Various ways people do to lose weight, start reducing the size of the meal or exercise. But some of the ways in which there are quite extreme.

People who want to lose weight sometimes try various alternative ways, although the way they use would be bad for the health.

Here are some that are considered the most extreme way to lose weight, as reported by Healthmad on Monday June 20, 2011:

1. Regurgitate food or bulimia
People who make they vomit to lose weight usually have a disease known as bulimia. Bulimia includes eating disorders that make people overeat and then vomit it.

After eating delicious food, the first thing that comes to mind is how bulimics make themselves vomit. This method is very mad, because effects of bulimia can be risky to health. People with bulimia can erode tooth enamel, dehydration, damage to the stomach and esophagus and other complications.

2. Hypnotism
There are also people who try hypnotism to lose weight by trying to change behavior. Mayo Clinic says that people who are trying to lose weight with hypnosis may lose a few pounds, if performed in combination with diet and exercise.

3. Potato diet
There are some people trying to lose weight by just eating potatoes every meal. Potatoes are a source of fiber and vitamin C is good, but unfortunately does not provide many vitamins and minerals essential for healthy living.

In addition, potatoes are very high glycemic index. People who are obese and people with diabetes will not benefit from eating potatoes three times a day, every day.

4. Smoke
Some people smoke to reduce the desire to eat. These people generally think that smokers are usually much slimmer than non-smokers.

In addition to cutting the appetite, nicotine is also thought to increase metabolic rate. When metabolism increases, more energy is used to perform bodily functions. However, research has not proven that smoking can increase the rate of metabolism significant.

And in any case, smoking has been associated with various malignancies, such as cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

How to calculate gestational age?

Health-Net: Sometimes there are still many pregnant women are confused and do not know how to calculate gestational age that was lived.

At a certain gestational age calculations sometimes pregnant women and doctors are different. This is because the doctors and midwives will begin counting the pregnancy from the first day of her period ended last menstrual period/LMP. Though of course a woman not pregnant at the time.

Calculation of small gestational age in pregnancy since the first day of menstruation ends because most women do not know exactly when they ovulate, but most know when her menstrual period ends, as quoted from babycenter on Saturday June 18, 2011.

Generally, doctors will count as long as 280 days gestation to determine the duedate calculator or birth of the baby. The amount is equivalent to 40 weeks gestation. But those dates are only approximate, and only 5 percent of babies are born exactly on the date of the estimate.

As for the trimester is often regarded as the third month of gestation. Someone will be said to be in the second trimester after 14 weeks pregnant and third trimester when the pregnancy reaches 28 weeks.

Usually prefer to call someone in the month of her pregnancy, in this case is not appropriate to count one month equals 4 weeks. Therefore taken an average of one month for 30 days and 1 week of 7 days.

Gestational age and generally are not exactly 9 months, for example if the first day of last menstrual period she is January 1, then the maturity date is October 8. So the calculation is like 9 months 1 week or 10 days, but she could give birth before or after that date.

World Health Organization (WHO) stipulates that the maximum limit of gestation is 42 weeks or approximately 294 days. If up to that age yet there is also a sign of birth, the pregnant woman is induced to provide stimulation or cesarean birth to avoid problems in infants and pregnant women.

By knowing the gestational age being served, then the pregnant mother can know the development and growth of what is being experienced by the baby. And can better prepare you for the labor.

Overcoming Stress with Laughing Yoga

Health-Net: Yoga is synonymous with meditation and silence. Many are advised to reduce stress by doing yoga exercises. However, there are other more effective ways that is laughing yoga.

As reported by the Laughteryoga.org, this type of yoga combines laughter with yogic breathing without a cause is called Pranayama. Anyone can laugh without reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in groups, with eye contact and play like a child, it then turns into real laughter and contagious.

The concept of laughing yoga is based on the scientific fact that the body cannot distinguish between fake and real laughter. One advantage is having a positive effect of the same physiological and psychological.

The idea came from the use laughter to relieve the negative effects of stress among other things, high blood pressure, type diabetes and depression, said Alex Eingorn, Laughter Ambassador in New York, as quoted from Galtime.com.

According Eingorn, laughing is very healthy. The effect was like aerobics and activates every organ in the body.

There are some muscles that will only move when laughing, said Eingorn.

Then, the research team from the University of Maryland shows, one minute laughing the effect is the same as six to ten minutes rowing. You can do it anytime, especially when feeling depressed.

Sit down and say to you 'I'm going to laugh now. Before you do you can simply laugh? If it can be directly viewed, cortisol, a hormone triggers the stress will be directly dropped dramatically, says Claire Wheeler, MD, author of Ten Simple Solutions to stress.

Laughing yoga was first developed by Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician from Mumbai India. He made the first pada13 Laughter Clubs in March 1995 with only a handful of people. Currently, it has spread worldwide with more than 6000 Laughter Clubs in 60 countries.

Surviving loneliness as a survivor

Another day... another step forward and a few more steps backwards. Ok... so maybe the forward step is just in my mind. But I'm trying.

So here's the thing... I am lonely. Whew, it was difficult for me to admit that to myself but I've been twisting it around in my head and my heart for a very long time. I cannot fully explain why I'm feeling lonely these days but I am. And yes, I know that I have a bunch of wonderful friends and lots of family members that I could talk to and spend time with... but, its not the kind of lonely that is satisfied with just being around people. Its something else I think.

An article in The Telegraph (Loneliness-can-increase-risk-of-breast-cancer) from 2009, explains that loneliness in lab rats seemed to contribute to their likelihood of having breast cancer. I thought it was interesting but the article goes on to say that there are many in the cancer community who feel that there is not enough evidence to link stress to breast cancer. And let's be honest, being lonely is pretty doggone stressful. However, I am starting to really believe in the connections between our mental states and our physical fitness. In more than the superficial way that I've considered it in the past... these days, its becoming abundantly clear that how I think and feel directly affects how my body acts and reacts.

It is theorized that while there may not be direct correlations between stress and breast cancer, the effects of stress lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms that could contribute to increased risk factors for breast cancer. So... activities like overeating, excessive drinking and smoking could be tied to increased stress which could be triggered by intense loneliness.

Feel where I'm going with this? (laughs) For months now I've been doing things that are fun (drinking a lot, hanging out late, eating all sorts of decadent foods, not exercising) but not good for me. And while I know that they aren't good for me, my acknowledgement has not been sufficient motivation for me to switch gears. Until now. After reading about the lab rats in the UK, I kept searching for more information about loneliness and breast cancer and came upon a medical abstract (Survivor Loneliness of Women Following Breast Cancer) about loneliness and breast cancer survivors. And it hit me... if I don't make a concerted effort for things to be different, I'm opening myself up to a few problems. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. The risky behaviors are soothing and help to manage my stress... and my stress is likely to make me weaker and ultimately sicker. But the risky behaviors bring their own sets of problems and they undermine my health too. If I don't soothe myself, the stress wrecks havoc in my life. If I do soothe myself, the behaviors undermine my strength.

In the days following the Race for the Cure, I've felt a deepening sadness and guilt. Survivor's guilt is a pain in the booty -- to be sure -- but its so real. Being out among thousands of women and men, many of whom were there to support the memory of a lost loved one really hammered home to me that I am super-blessed to be here. And that feeling brought a lot of shame and blame and guilt right along with it. I wrote the other day about the "why me" feelings I had for surviving when so many others do not. But what I didn't say was that not only to I carry the guilt of surviving with me, I'm also feeling burdened with the "what's next" blues too. After fighting to get my life back and realizing that I've been blessed, it feels like its not enough to just go back to a regular ol' life. The pressure that I'm feeling now to be super-spectacular is intense. And its immobilizing some days... How do you survive a disease that was supposed to take you out and then not do something earth-shattering and world changing? Its like I have no choice but to work to be bigger than Oprah now. But I'm not Oprah... I'm Nicole and most days... Nicole is scared. Ugh. However, I have to laugh at myself because terrified or not, I am working on some major projects and I cannot wait until they are completed and being of use to someone else.

I know I'm not alone, even if I feel that way. As much as I share on this blog and with certain friends/loved ones... there are some thoughts that I just cannot share with anyone, even other survivors. I guess I can accept that my healing and my growing is still a work in progress. I suppose that it is time that I find peace with the progress.
