Grapes as Cancer Fighting Food !!


Great Grapes?
The latest candidate in the quest for cancer-fighting foods or nutrients is a chemical in grapes that researchers say prevents cell-damaging mutations, blocks the development of tumors, and inhibits the growth and spread of cancer—at least in mice. Like many medical research findings, the discovery that the chemical, known as resveratrol, has anti-cancer properties makes intriguing news, but it's still too soon to recommend that anyone start imbibing wine or gobbling grapes as a way to stave off the disease, experts say.

Resveratrol is one of several hundred compounds being studied for their cancer-fighting potential, and a number of these occur naturally in foods. In addition to grapes, resveratrol is found in at least 70 species of plants, including peanuts and mulberries, according to the report in the January 10 Science.



Posted on 5/25/2005 12:24:23 PM
So far, the experiments by University of Illinois scientists show that resveratrol inhibited cancer development in mouse cells in laboratory dishes and reduced the number of skin tumors in mice without causing any obvious toxic reactions. If it still shows promise after additional tests in animals, it eventually could be tested in people, although that is likely to be years away, Dr. Greenwald says.

Until then, the wisest approach is to stick with the NCI's recommendation to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, including grapes. And, while an occasional glass of wine probably won't hurt and may in fact be healthful , these findings aren't an endorsement to start drinking if you don't already.

Role of Fiber in Fighting Heart Disease
In a study Boston researchers suggest yet another reason for eating plenty of fiber—it may lower the risk of having a heart attack.

Several smaller studies have shown a similar connection. Unfortunately, this larger study still doesn't settle the crucial question of whether fiber itself confers some protection against heart attacks.

The type of fiber also appeared to play a role. There are two kinds of fiber: Soluble fiber comes from plant gums and saps that can dissolve in the intestine's fluids, while insoluble fiber comes from the indigestible walls of plant cells. According to this study, insoluble fiber was more important than soluble fiber, and insoluble fiber from grains or breakfast cereal was more important than fiber from fruits and vegetables.

Posted on 5/26/2005 12:25:42 PM
What can fiber do for me, and how much do I need to eat? That is a big question !

We know that fiber reduces the risk of developing colon and rectal cancer. We also know that soluble fiber can lower cholesterol levels. To what extent the amount of fiber needs to be added to the diet is not clear yet. Moreover the unconfortable effects of increased amount of fiber in diet has also to be taken into consideration.

With the present kowledge it can be concluded that men or women who smoked less, exercised more, and ate less saturated fat and cholesterol, as well as more fiber can to some extent help in reducing the heart attack risk.

The American Health Foundation promotes a 25/25 diet—no more than 25 percent of calories from fat and at least 25 grams of fiber a day. Getting that much fiber each day isn't particularly difficult. But after ramping up fiber intake, many people have abdominal bloating, cramping, loose stools, and flatulence.

It's certainly wise to include high-fiber foods in your regular diet, but the evidence just isn't there that going overboard with fiber is worth the potential abdominal discomfort

Some of the Essential Nutrients


These vitamins, along with other antioxidant nutrients such as beta-carotene, have been associated with protection against some chronic conditions, including Heart disease, Cancer and Cataracts.
      The recommended daily intake of vitamin C is 60 milligrams. Vitamin C in high concentrations is found in several vegetables and fruits, including green and red peppers, collard greens, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries and citrus fruits.
      Vitamin E, however, is more difficult to get in the diet, since it's found mainly in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds and wheat germ .
The recommended dietary allowance for vitamin E is 30 IU (international units) per day. But research has shown that levels of 100 to 400 IU per day, which are nearly impossible to get from the typical diet, may protect against heart disease.


Posted on 5/28/2005 1:31:51 PM
Folate.
Adequate intake of folate, is important in preventing neural tube birth defects.
It may also offer protection against heart disease by lowering blood levels of a substance called homocysteine.
The recommended daily intake is 400 micrograms.
Folate is found in fruits and vegetables (especially leafy greens), legumes and orange juice. Grain-based foods, such as wheat flour, breads and cereals are fortified with folic acid, which is the synthetic form of folate.
All women capable of becoming pregnant should take a supplement containing 400 micrograms of folic acid.

Calcium. The mineral calcium is vital to bone health and can help protect against Osteoporosis and fractures.
The recommended daily intake for adults is 1,000 milligrams for people aged 19 to 50 and 1,200 milligrams for people older than 50.
The best food sources are low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese, and calcium-fortified orange juice. Eat at least three servings a day of these foods to reach the recommended dose.

Posted on 5/28/2005 1:32:46 PM
Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is also crucial for bone health since it helps the body absorb calcium. The recommended daily intake is 200 IU for people younger than 50; 400 IU for people ages 51 to 70; and 600 IU for people older than 70.
Food containing vitamin D are liver, butter, cream and egg yolks. Milk fortified with vitamin D is also a good source. Fortified breakfast cereals and fatty fish are also good choices.
Body can synthesize vitamin D from sunlight but not if you use sunblock and not in the winter in northern climates.

It is important to remember that:-
Balanced diet is most important aspect is your diet which 'no amount od supplements can replace.
Supplements cannot give you fiber and many miconutrients and other chemicals ( known & unknown ones ) needed by your body.
More of supplements are of not much use. Rather excess of some vitamins can be harmful like Vitamin A & D
Costly brand names may not be more beneficial.
Always remember to tell your doctor any vitamins or minerals or other supplements you are taking.

Tobacco - Our Enemy No. ONE

Tobacco is one of the most important health hazard for the human race.

Approximately more than One billion people are using tobacco worldwide.

Smoking related diseasses are responsible for One in Ten adult deaths worldwide.

By 2030, roughly 10 million deaths per year may be the figure and tobacco may be the leading cause of death worldwide.


Diseases caused by tobacco

Cancers

Heart disease

Pulmonary disease
    
   Cancers caused by Tobacco
Oral cancers
Oropharyngeal cancers
Laryngeal cancers
Hypopharyngeal cancer
Lung cancer
Esophageal cancer
Urinary bladder cancer

   
   The exact pattern of cancer risk due to tobacco is related to the method of tobacco consumption - smoking and smokeless.
Smoking of tobacco - Cigarette, Bedi Cigar, Hukka etc.

Smokeless - Tobacco with betel leaves, Chewing tobacco (khaini), Guthkha, Tobacco snuff.

Addiction to tobacco is basically addiction to Nicotine. Smokers try to maintain thier blood nicotine levels. In addition to nicotine tobacco is source of a large number of organic molecules. Some of these molecules especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitosamines are responsible for the development of cancers.
Genetic factors many be important in development of tobacco addiction as well as in determining smoking pattern.

How to get rid of Tobacco Smoking

Tobacoo is a serious but preventable risk factor for the heart diseases. It has a large habit forming potential. The strong addiction to smoking needs equally strong motivation and determination to get rid of this habit. But it is not an impossible tast. Those who on this habit have no option but to get rid of this addiction if they wish to prevent heart and lung problems and to avoid expensive cardiac surgery like cardiac bypass or angioplasty in the future.
A smoker has to makeup his mide to quit smoking. It has to be 100 percent, as anything less that this would not do. It should be understood that it is far easier for a confirmed smoker not to smoke a single cigarette than to strugle with a reduced number. Thus one has to aim at quitting completely. There is nothing like a "reduction in smoking".
The rewards of quitting smoking are enormous. The extra risk of heart problems start reducing the moment you stop smoking and it should practically disappear in two to three years.

If you can stop smoking and throw away your pack of cigarette for good, nothing like it. If not, you can do ot in two or three stages, but with a clear resolve that the goal is complete abstinence and under no circumstances the interim stage be allowed to become the goal.

Posted on 5/31/2005 12:37:31 PM
It is a fact that one cigarette leads to another, because it not only satisfies the craving for the nicotine but also produces craving for more. You would have noticed that when you get up in the morning the craving for the cigarette is the minimum. but after the first smoke the craving increases. It is therefore important to recognize that the easiest cigarette to resist is the first cigarette of the day.Similarly if you are confined to bed due to some illness and have not smoked for a few days, the craving appreciably diminishes.

Posted on 5/31/2005 12:38:01 PM
Thus, if you cannot stop smoking all of a sudden, then you should do it in 3 stages. In the first stage reduce the number to exactly half, realising fully that this is a temporary and merely the first battle agaist tobacoo. Continuer this for a month. You'll notice that craving for the cigarette has considerably reduced.
In the second stage, reduce the number of cigarettes to 4 or 5, and continue for another month. At this stage you'll find that the craving has become so little that it is not difficult to stop the cigarette smoking.
In the third or the final stage, take the final plunge and say goodbye to smoking for ever. Do not keep any cigarettes at home. Throw away all the things like ash trays, cigarette tighters or any thing that may remind you of smoking.

Make your house a real Non Smoking Zone

In the first few days you may need some substitute like chewing gums or cardimom. Make use of them but be sure not to allow any temptation to over power you to take to cigarettes.

It should be understood that the nicotine addiction is like any other addiction and can wake up again any time if you smoke even one cigarette.You may be tempted to argue with yourself that you will only smoke 3 or 4 cigarettes a day. But this does not work. It has worked with no one and it would not work with you also. The four cigarettes would soon become 40.

Once you have stopped smoking it should be complete abstinence for ever.

Tobacco Facts

Here is the ugly truth

Tobacco will kill 50% of every young person who starts smoking early and keeps it up. Half of that 50% will die in middle age, losing an average of 22 years of normal life expectancy.

      It's a true addiction!

      Typically, when teenagers begin to smoke, they don't realize that nicotine is addictive. As they pass through the 4 predictable stages of addiction, it takes them less than a year to progress to full-scale addiction:

        a.. Preparation (being seduced by a culture that glamorizes, accepts and even defends tobacco use, including influence by advertising, entertainment and peer pressure-and too often the example of important adults in their lives)
        b.. Experimentation
        c.. Smoking regularly
        d.. Nicotine addiction

Posted on 6/1/2005 12:14:06 PM
Is addiction too strong a term? Isn't smoking just a bad habit that can be broken without too much effort? To the contrary!
      In 1988 the US Surgeon General concluded that tobacco is addicting and that the physical and psychological symptoms of nicotine are "similar to those that determine addiction to drugs such as heroin and cocaine." Nicotine's effects on the brain are similar to those of heroin, amphetamine and cocaine. In ranking addictive drugs, nicotine was determined to be even more addictive than heroin, cocaine, alcohol, caffeine, and marijuana.

      Some startling facts about our kids:

        a.. 36% of high school students smoke
        b.. 25% of high school males use smokeless tobacco
        c.. Every day 6,000+ kids have their first cigarettes; 3,000 of them will become regular smokers
        d.. 500 million packs of cigarettes are sold illegally to kids every year
        e.. 15.5 million kids are exposed to secondhand smoke at home
        f.. Today 3,000,000+ kids smoke almost one billion packs of cigarettes a year
Posted on 6/1/2005 12:14:40 PM
g.. Over 5,000,000 kids under 18 alive today will ultimately die from tobacco use
        h.. Kids are three times as sensitive to tobacco advertising as adults
        i.. 86% of kids buy one of the three most heavily advertised brands (Marlboro, Camel or Newport)
        j.. Kids are more likely to be influenced by tobacco advertising than by peer pressure (the tobacco industry spends $5.2 billion every year in the US on advertising and promotion)
      [Statistics above from Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids]


------------------------------------------------------------ --------------

      This year's World No Tobacco Day encourages our kids to kick the habit, with the theme:

      Get Ahead of the Crowd - Leave the Pack Behind

      Tobacco Still Plaguing Our Youth

            Tobacco use among young people is on the rise in many countries throughout the world. Everyday, while thousands of young people experiment with a cigarette for the first time, nearly 10,000 people around the globe die as a result of tobacco use. The age at which a young person tries his or her first cigarette is dropping, with the majority of smokers beginning in their teenage years.

      Today, tobacco kills roughly 3.5 million people each year. Despite warnings about the dangers of tobacco and startling statistics about the serious health problems caused by tobacco, its use continues to increase among young people. Why?

      
Posted on 6/1/2005 12:15:18 PM
Unfortunately, there is not one simple answer. Adolescence is characterized by a feeling of invincibility and a sense of curiosity. Young people experiment with different behaviors without giving thought to the long-term consequences of their actions. Many adolescents underestimate the addictiveness of nicotine and its serious health risks. While parents and teachers may tell 11-, 12- and 13-year-olds that smoking can cause cancer and could kill them by the time they are in their 50s, cancer doesn't mean much to a young person, and living until 50 sounds like they would have had a very long life.

      While these factors influence young people to use tobacco, undoubtedly the most significant persuading factor in the increasing number of young tobacco users worldwide is tobacco advertising. It effectively influences teenagers to start using tobacco, and it encourages them to continue. In many tobacco ads, smoking is portrayed as classy and glamorous, and smokers appear to be mature and popular.
Posted on 6/1/2005 12:15:37 PM
Tobacco advertising often feeds on the fact that many teens look up to actors, musicians and/or athletes. Smoking is perceived as an adult behavior by young people, and teenagers often start smoking in order to appear more mature. A sense of social acceptability and belonging typically is a priority for young people. Peer pressure may drive a young person from experimentation with tobacco to addiction.

      The tobacco epidemic warrants immediate attention. Cessation and anti-tobacco programs work. Working together, countries throughout the world can defeat the tobacco epidemic and provide a tobacco-free world for our young people.
                                                                                 
                                                                                 Richard L. Wittenberg
       ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------

      OK, So....How Do I Quit?
      Between 75-80% of smokers want to quit, and one-third have made at least three serious attempts to quit.

      Because we know that the first attempts at smoking cessation are often not successful, the smoker who is determined to quit must be prepared to make multiple attempts, perhaps three or four. This is very normal, and these attempts should not be seen as failures but rather small setbacks in what will become a successful program. Therefore, it is important that those who advise and support smokers trying to quit be supportive and reassuring.

      The smoker might test different intervention techniques or combinations of methods to find the right one.
