What You Have to Know


Cancer is a disease that affect a lot of people at all ages. There are different kinds of cancer but there are rare form of cancer that we are not aware about. Have you heard about mesothelioma? It is a rare form of cancer that the cancerous cells can be found in the mesothelium. Mesothelium is a protective sac that covers most of our body's internal organs. There are actually two types of mesothelioma, the pleural is the sac that covers the pleural cavity around the lungs and the other one is peritoneal which involves the tissue that covers the abdominal area.

I have learned about mesothelioma cancer through the website called Surviving Mesothelioma: A Patient's Guide. The website is all about mesothelioma that tackles facts, alternative approaches, conventional treatments, survivors, doctors, lawyers and even news that woul be helpful to those who needs miracle in there lives. For the majority of patients their mesothelioma prognosis often comes poor but many doctors can recommend treatment options. The thing is don't give up do your research about your disease and try to be positive about it, keep fighting and don't loose hope.

A man who named Paul Kraus who was diagnosed with mesothelioma and was only given few months to live. Wrote this book Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient's Guide. After his battled with these rare kind of cancer and survived through researched of different kinds of therapies and worked with his doctors to create his own regimen and has lived for over twelve years, he enjoys a good quality of life.

Information About Bikini Waxing

Lawmakers in New Jersey considered to ban Brazilian bikini waxes after two women claimed they had contracted infections from the procedure. The measure was eventually voted down but the fact remains. According to Carol Livoti, M.D., a gynecologist in New York City and a Shape advisory board member, you can contract a sexually transmitted disease during a bikini wax. Bacteria and viruses, such as herpes, can be spread from one client to another through contaminated tweezers, scissors or surfaces. Reusing one spatula (double dipping) on multiple clients, may also put you at risk, as it may spread any microorganisms from previous clients that got in the wax. To protect yourself, seek out a salon that's staffed with a licensed aesthetician and has strict sanitary policies, including using hospital-grade disinfectant on any tools that will be reused.

A Proven Fix for HBP (High Blood Pressure)


We all know that exercise is good for our health but do you know that doing cardio and lifting weights can keep your blood pressure in check? Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil found that a single session-three sets of six low-intensity resistance exercise, can reduce your numbers, lowering your heart disease risk. According to Claudia Forjaz, Ph.D., study author and department chief of the university's School of Physical Education and Sport, when you lift weights your heart rate and blood pressure increase. This causes your blood vessels to expand, an effect that may last hours, making it easier for your heart to pump blood and ultimately lowering your pressure. Add two bouts with the 'bells to your weekly routine to help keep your stats low.

Wine Good for Liver?


We all know that overindulging in alcohol can harm our liver. A new study shows that sipping a little wine may protect our liver against the most common liver disease here in the United States. Scientists found that those who drank a glass of wine daily had a 50 percent lower risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) than their alcohol-free counterparts did. However for the beer and liquor it did not hold true. NAFLD known to lead to cirrhosis in some cases also shares a number of risk factors such as obesity and high blood pressure with heart disease. Although studies suggest that moderate wine drinking may cut your heart-disease risk, cautions from Tufts University nutrition science and policy professor Alice Lichtenstein it's too early to tell whether the same is true for NAFLD. Lichtenstein adds, because of breast-cancer risk rises with alcohol intake, women at high risk should limit their drinking as much as possible.
