The chance of getting a heart attack was lower by 9 % and death to other causes shall be 14 % lower as compared to optimism score below 25 %. In contrast women, who had higher pessimistic tendency, had 16 % more chances of dying as compared to normal group.

On the count of optimism or pessimism the results equally apply to men and women. There have to be certain factors, which interact in a given situation and result into a predictable behavior patterns and uniformity in responses produced and affecting the human being in a uniform manner irrespective of other variable factors like age, sex, caste or creed of the individual. The quality of optimism is usually found in individuals, having high bracket income and they do not have to stretch harder for earning income to comfortably make their two ends meet.

Daily life schedule encounters three variations of possibilities having relation to the life style of the individual:

  • Women good in maintaining optimistic views had a very stable health risk status.
  • Had lower High Blood Pressure, Diabetes history, usually they do not smoke and included moderate exercise in their daily routines.
  • The lower Health Risk Factors can be assumed to be on account of their higher life style status.

Another positive finding is that optimist women have great chances to consult their doctor from time to time and follow their advice rigidly without deviation. They also take care of the good balanced nutrition in their diet.

Role of Attitude in Good health:

Optimistic women have better attitudes towards their life’s achievements and expectations. In such a trial pessimistic patients are also included in the group and the attempt is to change their feelings and resulting effect recorded by the team of doctors in agreement with their feelings

All kind of possibilities were considered in the controlled group study by including wide variety of patients depicting pessimism and without any discrimination attempt was made to allow effective changes in their thinking and observed any change in their health.

Conclusive Observations:

The observations confirmed that even the most difficult persons responded in a positive manner and reacted to the suggestions made and experienced good health benefits.

The causes & Cure of Bad Breath 0

Posted on March 06, 2010 by admin

Pro Bacteria Environment:

The oral cavity harbors millions of bacteria, located at the back of the tongue responsible for causing bad breath. Moreover the warmth, moisture and food rich environment is most suitable for bacterial growth, which produces bad breath.

In certain situations bad smell is normal and do not result into disease. As an example the morning mouth, which one experiences changes during sleep. During day time saliva secretion mobilizes decaying food and odor.

Causes of Bad Breath:

At night the saliva secretion is greatly diminished causing dryness of mouth dead cells are sticking on the tongue and inner surface of cheeks. The bacteria thrive on these dead cells emanating bad smelling odor.

5 Common Reasons of Hair Loss in Women 0

Posted on March 05, 2010 by admin

Our hair is what we call our crown glory. It makes a sudden change in your appearance every time you change your hair fashion. But how will it be your crown glory if you are suffering from hair loss?

Hair loss is a condition when men or women are encountering sudden hair fall. Clinical studies proved that 65% cases suffering from hair loss are women rather than men. Meaning, hair loss is more severe in women compared to men; but luckily, hair loss resulting to total baldness are cases that often occur in men rather than in women.

There are a lot of causes to be considered why women are having hair loss problems. First common reason why women suffered from hair loss is having a baby. Usually, it takes three months until they will notice that their hair strands are falling. This is because of the hormones during their pregnancy. When the hormones are back to its normal level, the hair fall stops then a normal cycle growth begins.

Another cause of hair loss is because of the effects of medicines to your body. Some medicines that cause hair loss are the blood thinners or also called as anticoagulants, medicines for gout problems that lower blood pressure, medicines for heart diseases, some oral contraceptives, antidepressants, and too much intake of Vitamin A. Sometimes, hair loss may occur because of some diseases like lupus or diabetes. Always remember that hair loss may be the first sign of a disease. Seeking help from health experts may have an effective way to treat these kinds of diseases and could stop hair loss.

Third, hair loss can also be a result of too much stress and pressures at work. Stress could be physical and psychological. Thinking too much of problems may cause hair loss. It is better to rest for a while and relax your mind.

Fourth, hormones have a contributing factor why women are suffering from hair loss. Your may have hair loss if your thyroid gland are not working as well as if it is working too much. Loss of hair occurs when hormones like estrogens and androgens are not balanced. Making ways to make it balance will stop your problem in hair loss.

Lastly, improper care of the hair also causes hair loss. Wearing pigtails or using tight hair accessories may result to hair loss. Pulling your hair tight will cause the scarring of your scalp. If this happens, it will lead to permanent hair loss or baldness.

Life and Pregnancy Following Miscarriage 0

Posted on March 04, 2010 by admin

You are excited to be pregnant and having a baby. You start planning already and wonder if you will have a sweet little girl and a sports-playing boy. And then, the worst thing imaginable happens: you have a miscarriage. Now what? Having a miscarriage is an incredibly difficult experience on women and couples. It is both a physical and emotional experience. It also is incredibly difficult to be pregnant for weeks, or even months, and then, all of a sudden, not pregnant. There are many questions that many women and couples want answers to after suffering a miscarriage: Why did I have a miscarriage? Did I cause this to happen and could I have prevented this? When can I start trying to get pregnant again?

Although it is not widely known, single miscarriages are relatively common, with approximately 20-30% of all pregnancies ending in miscarriage, typically prior to reaching 12 weeks. The incidence of having multiple miscarriages is significantly lower, with just 1% of women having three or more miscarriages. Typically, after suffering a miscarriage a doctor will not do much as far as treatment, unless you are determined to suffer from recurrent miscarriages. Otherwise, it is pretty unlikely you will suffer from another miscarriage so trying to conceive again without additional treatment is recommended.

Despite this type of advice, there are some things you can do following a miscarriage prior to your attempts to conceive again. In doing so, you may end up being able to conceive more quickly and have a better chance at preventing a second miscarriage.

One thing you can do is see your doctor and ask if there are any blood tests that they can take in your situation. Some such tests which may be relevant are thyroid disorders, clotting disorders, or any potential genetic disorders. Another thing you can do is see if your diet and/or lifestyle could use an overhaul of any kind. Keep toxins out of your diet and environment, and be aware of the environment around you.

Making sure to keep your hormones stabilized is also a key in helping conceive and avoid miscarriages. If your periods are not on a regular cycle, getting your hormones normalized may be necessary. You can do such things as improve your diet, exercise regularly, modify your lifestyle as necessary (such as quit smoking and get plenty of sleep), and reduce stress to assist in this endeavor.

You might also want to consider being tested for various genitor-urinary infections. Although many doctors may not consider this discussing preparing for pregnancy or prevention of miscarriages, it has been found that such infections have had an impact on many miscarriages. Nobody wants to ever have to go through a miscarriage. So it is important to remember that your body needs to be in the best condition possible before becoming pregnant so that it can see this amazing life all the way to the birth day.

Incidence of Arthritis & Traditional Management 0

Posted on March 03, 2010 by admin

Around 50 % of the world population suffers from Arthritis in their life span. It is more commonly afflicted in comparison to a cancer and heart diseases. The occurrence of arthritis dates back more than one thousand years. The world record confirms that among all the painful conditions, arthritis ranks highest and the sufferers consume billions of dollars worth analgesics to relieve their pain.

The well known Roman baths were initiated not only for hygiene considerations, it provided help people in ancient times to relieve the pain from arthritis.

Arthritis and its Causes:

Arthritis occurs in following two forms:

  1. Rheumatoid Arthritis:

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disorder, where the body mistakes in    attacking and damaging it’s on cells causing internal damage to the joints resulting into dysfunction and deformities.

  1. Oste-oartharitis:

Osteoarthritis is a result of wearing and tearing of joint surfaces, which are lined by a cartilage, a soft tissue and has a shock absorbing function protecting the underlying bone ends. When the cartilage experiences wear and tear, there is difficulty in the mobility of the joint with pain and swelling further worsening the situation.

The major cause of osteoartharitis is aging, diet considerations and     lifestyle factors.

The Shock Absorbing Effect:

The tissue lining joint surfaces is cartilage, which renders the function of shock absorbing during movements. The cartilage tissue is composed of water held by protein fibers known as collagen. The collagen matrix is responsible for cartilage structure and strengthening. It is surrounded by a network of proteglucans, which is filled with fluid providing protection from damage, besides nourishing the cartilage tissue.

Proteglucans are made of long molecular chains, which include chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine. These two substances are vital building blocks.

Glucosamine is highly necessary for the making of water holding proteins of cartilage, whereas chondroitin sulfates attracts fluids in the joint, which are helpful in maintaining comfortable movement of the joint and also accumulates nutrition for the joint to keep it healthy and functional.

Injury, Wear and Tear of Joint:

In the situations of Injury, wear, or corrosion action of enzymes result into weakening of this protection, thus the cartilage fails to carry out repair function of its own. With slow progression there is damaging effect resulting into deep crevices and clefs, which cause impeding of movement resulting in painful arthritis.

The age old method of treatment of arthritis pain is by suppressing of pain with conventional analgesics like aspirin, ibuprofen etc. There is only temporary relief with these analgesics and the damaging effect initiated progresses at its own pace.

Role of Supplementing Nutrition:

Fortunately presently arthritis progression can be arrested by administration of specific nutrient supplements, which substitute substances, which the body has ceased to produce like Glucosamine and Chondroitin thus restoring the near normal function of the joints with considerable relief of joint pain.

One more useful nutrient is provided by methyl-sulfonyl-methane, it is a sulfur compound found in many food items like fish, fruits, vegetables, mutton and eggs. It helps in increasing the blood supply, reduction of muscular spasms and softening of the scars present in tissues.

Capsium present in cayenne pepper extract is useful in causing relief of arthritic pain.

The benefit of small molecular weight of emu oil helps its convenient penetration into the skin and soothing effect is felt in arthritic joints. It has anti-inflammatory property makes it highly favorite of sports persons in treating their minor injuries.

Correction of Lifestyle & Beneficial Effects:

The change in habits and lifestyle also helps in reducing the uncomfortable arthritis pain. Persons keeping themselves in trim shape and engage themselves in physically active living conditions have only a minor risk to osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is present in weight-bearing joints initially. Overweight persons have higher risk of their joint cartilage wearing out early not at par with the repair function of the cartilage.

The Importance of Yearly visit for a Pelvic Exam 0

Posted on March 01, 2010 by admin

As every woman should know, getting a pelvic examination regularly is vital in maintaining her health. Pelvic exams are typically recommended on an annual basis. Although a regular physician can perform this type of exam, it is typically done by a gynecologist. The pelvic exam consists of both a visual and manual inspection of the reproductive organs in women. The purpose is to ensure that no infections or growths exist. A Pap smear test is also performed which tests for cervical cancer.

During this type of examination, a woman undresses and dons an examination gown. The patient lies down on the examination table with her feet in stirrups, which hold the legs up and open so the doctor can easily perform the exam. During the exam, the doctor will observe the outside of the reproductive organs for any signs of redness, signs of infection, abnormal growths, or sores. The doctor then performs the internal exam by placing a speculum into the vaginal walls to open up the area such that he/she can see the cervix.

Part of the internal pelvic examination involves the doctor checking the uterus and ovaries by placing a finger into the vagina while pushing down on the lower stomach area with the other hand. In performing this exam, the doctor can feel for any abnormalities in the ovaries and uterus.

The doctor examines the cervix by performing a Pap smear test, which is a test used to collect cells from the bottom of the cervix, which lies at the end of the vagina. The cells are scraped and then sent to a lab which will look at the cells under a microscope and look for any abnormal cells which might indicate cancer of the cervix. It is very important to have a Pap smear test performed on an annual basis (unless your doctor recommends a higher frequency due to certain determined risks) once you become sexually active or by age 21, whichever occurs earlier. This test may no longer be necessary in women who have had hysterectomies or upon reaching the age of 70. However, you should always check with your doctor and follow your doctor’s advice on when and how often to you should be screened.

If during your pelvic examination, the doctor finds an abnormality, he or she will notify you immediately. However, it may take a little longer to receive the results from the Pap smear. Simply because a Pap smear comes back as abnormal does not mean you have cancer. In that event, a second test will be taken to ensure it was an accurate result or a false positive, which can occur for a variety of reasons. However, if problematic cells are found, finding them early provides for the highest success in addressing and resolving the problem.

Going to your gynecologist for regular annual examinations is the wisest way to address women’s health and to prevent many issues which strike women today. Do not skip that appointment with the gynecologist, as doing so may mean the difference between life and death by failing to catch a problem in the beginning stages.
