Cancer October 28th, 2010
The number of people taking AIDS drugs continue to rise from 1.2 million last year to 5.2 million. Since 2003 until 2010 recorded an increase of up to 12-fold. Reported to the World Health Organization (WHO).
“We are very proud of this increase. So far, the greatest increase,” said Gottfried Hirnschall, director of WHO’s department of HIV / AIDS. According to him, the increase was due to improved access to medicines in the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
WHO presented the data in an international conference on AIDS in Austria which was attended by thousands of experts and AIDS activist. Bill Clinton, in his speech acknowledged the success of the fixed rate but the number was still far from enough.
“Five million people who are in treatment is very much compared with what we started. We can not this epidemic without more funds and real action to use it,” he said.

Controlling Cholesterol Fasting =
Health Lifestyle October 28th, 2010
=Once the drum is heard, can not wait to get to eat it which is reflected in the table. Be careful, you know! A lot of bad fats and sweets is not healthy to hide in the fast food that’s delicious legit. That is, the dangers of cholesterol are not kidding.
“The excess cholesterol and accumulate on the walls of blood vessels, will result in thickening of the walls of blood vessels / atherosclerosis, as well as stroke. In addition, excess triglycerides also resulted in coronary heart disease, “said Hersanti Sulistyaningrum, S. GZ, Head of Nutrition Installing UB Women and Children Hospital.
Wicked The Cholesterol Early
Actually, fat is a nutrient the body needs. As an energy source, the source of essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins conveyances (A, D, E, K). Fat also serves as a lubricant, maintainer body temperature, as well as protective organs of the body to remain in place (to protect from collision and other hazards).
High cholesterol levels are not directly attributable to weight loss.
But unfortunately, in some people with disorders of fat metabolism can occur hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol in the blood) and this disruption can cause cardiovascular disease.
High cholesterol in the blood are often associated with the condition when a person with a metabolic disorder caused by hyperlipidemia (elevated levels of lipids) as well as hiperlipoproteinemia (elevated levels of lipoproteins). This is due to cholesterol in the blood depend on the number of cholesterol carried by lipoproteins in the blood.
There are four types of commonly known lipoproteins, LDL (low density lipoprotein), VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) and HDL (high density lipoprotein). LDL is the lipoprotein that blamed as the cause of hypercholesterolemia. When high LDL and low HDL, the risk of heart attack increases.
Causes of high cholesterol in the blood caused by many factors. Like, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, anorexia, sleep disturbances, excessive weight, heredity and diet high in carbohydrates (especially simple sugars) and saturated fats (especially trans fats).
Only about 20 to 25 percent of cholesterol formed in the liver and less cholesterol is absorbed directly from the daily diet. However, bad eating habits also became the dominant triggers in hyperlipidemic by genetic factors.
Cholesterol vs. Fat
Is it true that only fat people suffer from high cholesterol? The answer is no. High cholesterol levels are not directly attributable to weight loss. Body lean is not necessarily free of hypercholesterolemia.
Cholesterol greatly influenced the consumption of foods containing saturated fat. For example, foods fried in cooking oil is used repeatedly, a lot of foods that contain animal fats, and foods high in carbohydrates.
Facts mentioned, consumption of foods high in carbohydrates (especially refined) to increase triglycerides, lower HDL and increase LDL particles in the blood, making the distribution pattern of unhealthy cholesterol. So, not only diidap hypercholesterolemic fat people, skinny can, too.
Cholesterol High Foods
Cholesterol is formed in the liver based on cholesterol levels in the blood at the time. If the cholesterol level at the moment is quite a lot, then the liver does not produce cholesterol. Similarly, when the low cholesterol levels, then the liver will produce it. The process of formation of cholesterol was not familiar with morning, afternoon, or night.
To reduce the risk of the formation of cholesterol, avoid foods that can raise the suspicion of cholesterol in the blood.
Cholesterol is found only in foods of animal origin. The main source of cholesterol is the liver, kidney, egg yolk, meat, full cream milk, cheese, shrimp, and shellfish. However, in chicken and fish, contain relatively little cholesterol.
Without Symptoms
According to medical journals, the increase in cholesterol does not cause specific symptoms. However, when cholesterol levels above 200 mg / dl, should be aware of the risks of cardiovascular problems.
Consumption of a balanced diet and eat less excessive food with saturated fats (fried food and innards) is how to reduce those risks.
Also, consume a high fiber can reduce cholesterol levels in the blood significantly, fiber (pectin) can absorb the cholesterol in the intestine and is excreted through feces. This fiber can be obtained from vegetable sources such as consumption of vegetables, fruits, grains (like oatmeal, bran and brown rice).
Side Bad Cholesterol
Cholesterol is needed by the body, but on the other hand, it can form deposits on blood vessel walls. In the long term it can be a cause of coronary heart disorders, cerebrovascular disease and other disturbances.
There are several things that cholesterol is associated with adverse effects, ie, lipoprotein (a conveyance of fat / lipids) and triglycerides. HDL is the lipoprotein cholesterol and charged with taking fosolipida from the blood and deliver on other lipoproteins for transport back to the liver. Then the fat will be released back or eliminated from the body. This is why high HDL levels are often regarded as an indication of good cholesterol.
Whereas in the liver LDL receptors regulate blood cholesterol. If LDL increases, the destructive cells will accumulate in the blood vessel walls and form plaque. Mixed with protein plaques, will be covered by muscle cells and calcium so that a period of years can occur arteriosclerosis (thickening of the wall and narrowing of blood vessels and causes blood pressure increases the heart’s workload, ed.).
There is also known as VLDL, which is the conveyance of fat formed in the liver and consists of triglycerides. Well, triglyceride was in itself a major lipids in food as a substance whose main function of energy. Plasma triglyceride level is much influenced by the carbohydrate content of foods and obesity.
The increase in plasma triglyceride levels (hypertriglyceridemia) were also associated with the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
