			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>5 Habits for Getting cancer  is activities sometimes cause we do not have time for a good skin care. The result skin will lose their softness. Over age, the skin tends to become more thin &amp; twisted. This insebuah new research suggests that compounds derived from 2 types of material that is of pepper &amp; spice turmeric, was able to be used as a breast cancer prevention because it inhibits the growth of cancer stem cells that can accelerate tumor growth.<span id="more-62"></span></p>
<p>When the compound curcumin (from turmeric) and piperine (from black pepper) are given in breast cells in the laboratory, the number of cancer stem cells decreased whereas normal cells remain unchanged, according to researchers at the cancer center university of Michigan, United States . The results of existing research in medical journals about the research &amp; treatment of breast cancer.</p>
<p>&#8220;If we can limit the number of cancer stem cells, then we can limit the number of potential cells to change shape into a tumor&#8221;, according to head researcher Dr. Madhuri Kakarala which is also a clinical instructor in internal medicine at the university medical school researchers at Michigan &amp; VA medical centers Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>The study shows that curcumin and piperine invention is effective against cancer stem cells but not toxic to normal breast tissue has important implications for women.</p>
<p>&#8220;Women are at greater risk for breast cancer now have the option of taking tamoxifen or raloxifene as a prevention, but most women do not want to take the drug because of toxicity&#8221; according to Dr. Kakarala. So the concept that the herb derived substances can be useful it is very interesting and apparently well curcumin and piperine compounds have low toxicity.</p>
<p>Previous research has been done to these two compounds for use in cancer treatment, but this is the first study to mention that these compounds can prevent cancer by reducing the number of cancer stem cells. However, these studies also gave warning that the compound is only through testing in the laboratory and not yet in human trials. The researchers also pay attention to anyone intending to enter into curcumin and piperine food mereka.i because the sebaceous glands (oil producing glands) become less aktiftasnya the skin becomes more dry. Blood vessels in the skin also decreases so that the skin loses brightness.<br />
Actually, a simple habit to treat the skin to maintain skin to always stay awake health &amp; beauty in the future. Kebiaaan are:</p>
<p>1. Protect your skin from the sun<br />
It is very important for skin care is to protect the skin from the sun. UV rays from the sun can damage the skin, causing wrinkles, dry &amp; rough skin and even tumors of skin cancer.</p>
<p>Here are bebebrapa ways to protect the skin from the sun:<br />

<p>2. Do not smoke<br />
Smoking can accelerate the aging &amp; wrinkles. Skin changes from smoking can occur in adults after 10 years. Smoking also can narrow the blood vessels in the skin, as a result of nutrition for the skin is reduced which then can increase the occurrence of damage to the elastic layer of the skin (elastin) &amp; collagen. In addition to the repeated movement during smoking as attractive as sucking lips or wink to avoid the smoke can also menyababkan of wrinkles.</p>

- Avoid using harsh soaps. Teralalu harsh soaps can remove the skin&#8217;s natural oils, causing skin to dry. Should choose the type of mild soap or detergent which has no added oils or fats.<br />
- Avoid using materials that can irritate the skin. If you have sensitive skin types, avoid products containing perfumes or bleach because it can irritate the skin or trigger an allergic reaction.<br />
- Remove eye makeup carefully. We recommend using a soft sponge or cotton to clean the makeup in the eye area to avoid damage to the area<br />
- Dry the body. After a shower or wash your face, drain the body by being patted so that there are still remaining dikulit humidity, and then immediately apply a skin moisturizer.</p>
<p>4. Use your regular body lotion<br />
Moisturizer helps to maintain the humidity level in a way dikulit prevent evaporation of water from the skin or by regular releases of water into the skin. This type of moisturizer &amp; frequency of administration depends on many things, including skin type, age or any special conditions such as acne. Choose a moisturizer that contain at least SPF 15 to protect skin from the effects of sunlight.</p>
<p>5. Shave carefully<br />

<p>The following tips so as not to irritate the shaved skin:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-65 alignleft" title="silhouette of a depressed woman_0.inline" src="http://toxicinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/silhouette-of-a-depressed-woman_0.inline.jpg" alt="silhouette of a depressed woman_0.inline" width="250" height="250" /></p>
<p>Many people who suffer from depression are not getting the treatment that they need. Recent reports show that only half of Americans who suffer from depression receive any type of treatment for it, and certain minorities may face even greater difficulties in receiving the treatment that they need.</p>
<p>Researchers found that only one in five Americans that suffer from clinical depression receives treatment that is consistent with the recommended guidelines. In addition, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, and Caribbean blacks that have depression were half as likely as other ethnic groups to receive any type of treatment for depression or the recommended care.<span id="more-64"></span></p>
<p>Researcher Hector M. Gonzalez, Ph.D., from the Wayne State University in Detroit, and his colleagues wrote in the Archives of General Psychiatry, “Although depression is a leading cause of disability in the United States, few Americans with recent major depression receive any form of standard care and even fewer receive care that is concordant with the American Psychiatric Association guideline.”</p>
<p>The recommended treatment for depression depends on the individual’s needs and often includes a combination of medication and psychotherapy. In this study, the researchers analyzed information from a nationwide survey of approximately 15,762 adults conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health between the years of 2001 and 2003.</p>
<p>The results showed that 8.3 percent had depression, which included 8 percent of Mexican-Americans, 7.9 percent of Caribbean blacks, 8.6 percent of non-Latino whites, 11.8 percent of Puerto Ricans and 6.7 percent of African-Americans. Overall, 51 percent of the people that had depression received at least one form of treatment, but only 21 percent of them received at least one form of depression treatment that conformed to established treatment guidelines within the past year.</p>
<p>According to the study, Mexican-Americans, Caribbean blacks and African-Americans were the least likely to receive any form of depression treatment, with only 12 to 14 percent receiving any type of care. Of the participants who received treatment for depression, approximately 45 percent of them received psychotherapy without any medication and 34 percent were prescribed antidepressants. The study showed that the people who were undergoing psychotherapy were more likely to receive treatment for depression in line with recommended guidelines than those who just received the medication. The researchers also found that African-Americans and Mexican-Americans used the antidepressants less often than whites.</p>
<p>The results of the study reveal disparities in health care access that are often overlooked. For example, Mexican-Americans showed the greatest inequalities in mental health care in this new study. The lack of health care insurance partly explained the lack of adequate treatment for depression; however it did not explain the low rate of depression treatment among African-Americans.</p>
<p>Depression is a serious illness that needs to be treated. If left untreated, it can lead to other health issues. There are a vareity of options today to help treat depression, so if you suffer from depression, talk with your doctor to see what you can do to get back on track to a happy, healthier you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-68 alignleft" title="healthnews_dozen_logo" src="http://toxicinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/healthnews_dozen_logo.gif" alt="healthnews_dozen_logo" width="250" height="233" /></p>
<p>When the calendar turns over to January of 2010, many people will begin to implement New Year’s resolutions that include some type of health and fitness goals. People vow to live healthier lives throughout the new year, whether that includes adding various forms of exercise, starting a diet, or eliminating negative habits. While each person’s decision is his or her own and must be based on personal preferences and objectives, it is interesting to note the predicted trends for the year based on past years, and those trends might be an indicator of programs that are easier to find and more reasonably priced due to popularity.<span id="more-67"></span></p>
<p>Each year, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) releases a report in its last bi-monthly journal issue of the year containing projected fitness trends. The global survey is the fourth in a series and incorporates trends identified in previous surveys with responses from a survey that included trends identified by the editors of ACSM’s Health &amp; Fitness Journal. All facets of the industry were included—commercial health clubs, community nonprofit health clubs, corporate wellness programs, and medical fitness centers.</p>
<p>The rest of the top 20 that extends past the top 12 shown in this article were, in order: wellness coaching, yoga, spinning, boot camp, physician referrals, stability ball, balance training, and comprehensive health promotion programming in the workplace.</p>
<p>Compared to the last three years, the authors of the survey noted several interesting trends: Items like group personal training, which is employer-friendly and more reasonably priced than individual personal training, moved up the list from the bottom of the top 20 to the #10 spot on the list in 2010. In addition, functional fitness for older adults moved up the list, as did wellness coaching, yoga, and physician referrals. And items that continue to maintain their popularity are Pilates and sport-specific training.</p>
<p>The top item on the list is educated and experienced fitness professionals, who continue to be in strong demand due to the varying needs of people looking to begin or maintain fitness programs. The need to practice a personalized fitness routine requires a qualified professional to cater to the needs and wants of that person and ensure exercise and diet plans are fine-tuned. Those who are serious about their fitness goals often seek the help of a professional to streamline the process.</p>
<p>Strength training is also on the rise, though it was once primarily used by bodybuilders. However, studies showing the advantages of muscle building in the bone strengthening, toning, and anti-aging have increased its popularity greatly in the past few years.</p>
<p>The programs in the top twelve tend to center around education and stem from state and federal programs with a focus on particular issues affecting the health of the community, state, or nation. Childhood obesity has been on the rise for decades, and its dangers have prompted programs in schools and communities that focus on healthy eating and exercise habits for children. Senior fitness is also important as the baby boomer generation ages and seeks programs to stay healthy despite the aging process. Functional fitness also falls into the category of catering to older adults with a focus on strength training.</p>
<p>More specific health trends include the flexibility training of Pilates, strength and endurance of sport-specific training, and middle-body muscle strengthening of core training. And outcome measurements consist of fitness training based on disease management and medical conditions that require specific health needs be addressed to aid in wellness.</p>
<p>It should be noted that trends are simply a gauge as to the present and future of the industry, and while items on the list can be used as ideas for one’s own personal fitness goals, it is important to find the most appropriate programs and focus on one’s individual objectives.</p>
