Use glycemic index to help control blood sugar

Picture an old-fashioned roller coaster with plenty of ups and downs. That’s what your blood sugar and insulin levels look like over the course of a day. The highs that follow meals and snacks drop to lows later on. Learning to eat in a way that makes your blood sugar levels look more like a kiddie coaster with gentle ups and downs than a strap-’em-in, hang-on-tight ride with steep climbs and breathtaking drops can make a difference to your health. How can you do this?gay porn A tool called the glycemic index (GI) can help. It rates carbohydrate-containing foods by how much they boost blood sugar (blood glucose). As someone with diabetes, I use the glycemic index as one strategy to keep my blood sugar under control. And there may be other benefits—low glycemic index diets have been linked to reduced risks for cancer, heart disease, and other conditions.

New test may speed detection of heart attacks

A heart attack (more formally known as myocardial infarction) isn’t always an instantly recognizable event. Severe chest pain often has nothing to do with the heart or blood vessels. Some heart attacks are so small they pass almost unnoticed, written off as indigestion or the flu. Others are major catastrophes, causing death or long-lasting disability. amateur porn A new blood test may help speed the diagnosis. This is important, because the sooner a heart attack is diagnosed, the sooner treatment can begin. The sooner treatment begins, the more heart muscle can be saved. Fifty years ago, doctors had to rely on a person’s symptoms and sometimes hard-to-interpret changes on an electrocardiogram to determine if a heart attack was under way. Today, blood tests are available that can detect the chemical signature of dying heart cells. The blood test preferred today is called troponin. Troponin is a protein complex found almost exclusively in heart and skeletal muscle cells. Its sudden release into the bloodstream signals damage to the heart muscle. Combining troponin results with characteristic changes on the electrocardiogram and symptoms is currently the gold standard for identifying myocardial infarction. Within the first few hours of a heart attack, though, both the troponin level and the electrocardiogram can be normal. That means people with results in the gray zone are observed and monitored for 12 to 16 hours with more troponin tests and electrocardiograms.

Rosie O’Donnell’s heart attack a lesson for women

The 50-year-old actress, comedienne, and talk show host suffered a surprise (aren’t they all) heart attack last week. Word got out when she wrote about it on her blog.

She took an aspirin, and the next day went to see a cardiologist. Her electrocardiogram was worrisome enough that she was sent to the hospital. Tests showed that her left anterior descending artery was 99% blocked. She underwent artery-opening angioplasty and had a wire-mesh stent placed to keep the artery open.

Try tai chi to improve balance, avoid falls

Compared to the pumping intensity of spin porn or Zumba, a tai chi class looks like it’s being performed in slow motion. Watching the gentle, graceful movements of this ancient Chinese practice, it’s hard to imagine that tai chi can burn off a single calorie or strengthen muscles. But this exercise program is far more dynamic than it looks. “The slowness that you see from the outside can be deceptive,” says Dr. Peter Wayne, research director of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. As an aerobic workout, tai chi is roughly the equivalent of a brisk walk (depending on the intensity at which you perform it). And as a resistance training routine, some studies have found it similar to more vigorous forms of weight training, says Dr. Wayne, who is also founder and director of the Tree of Life Tai Chi Center in Somerville, Massachusetts and co-author of The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi

Global cancer research database reveals what you can do to lower your risk

Organic food no more nutritious than conventionally grown food To many of my friends, buying organic is more than a supermarket choice. It’s a badge of good parenting. They proclaim “I buy only organic” with the same flush of pride they assume when announcing their child has made the honor roll. As I guiltily follow their lead, I can’t help but wonder whether organic foods have as much of an impact on my family’s health as they do on my wallet. Health experts and consumers have long debated whether organic foods are more nutritious—and safer—than conventional foods. “This is a controversy that’s been going on for a long time,” says Dr. Michelle Hauser, a certified chef, nutrition educator, and clinical fellow in medicine at Harvard Medical School. Global cancer research database reveals what you can do to lower your risk By the year 2030, the number of people diagnosed annually with cancer worldwide could reach 21 million. This week, the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) is meeting in Montreal to discuss how to diminish the rising tide of cancer. The long-term solution, experts think, lies in another startling statistic: that 40% of cancers stem from factors that we can control. At the meeting,free porn video the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund International (AICR/WCRF) rolled out the latest update to the world’s largest central database of research on how lifestyle choices influence the risk of cancer. Key causes of “preventable” cancer include unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, being overweight, alcohol and tobacco, and not taking full advantage of preventive vaccinations and screenings. “The fact is that changes in our lifestyle can powerfully protect us against cancer,” says Dr. Anthony Komaroff, editor in chief of the Harvard Health Letter and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “In fact, we can do more to protect ourselves against cancer than our doctors can do for us.”

The angry adolescent — a phase or depression?

The angry adolescent — a phase or depression? A friend once asked me about his son, who was about to turn 20. As a teenager, the boy had a quick temper. His dad assumed that his short fuse was related to that awkward stage of life. But now, on the brink of adulthood, the young man seemed to be getting worse. He’d been less able to deal with criticism, minor upsets, jokes, or comments contrary to his point of view. The young man’s father didn’t know if his son’s behavior was normal,porn 18 or if it was a sign of depression or other problem. He also wanted to know how to talk with his son about his anger. To understand this situation, it helps to put yourself in a 19-year-old’s shoes. Still inexperienced, there are big challenges ahead: graduating from high school, entering the work force (in a tough economy) or starting college, living away from home for the first time. These are stressful transitions for anyone.

Non-alcoholic red wine may lower blood pressure

Scientific studies, teen pornthe media, and even some doctors tout the heart health benefits of red wine. But if controlling blood pressure is important to you, consider this the next time you raise your glass: A new study published online in Circulation Research suggests that non-alcoholic red wine may be better at lowering blood pressure than regular red wine. Powerful antioxidants in red wine called polyphenols may be more effective when there’s no alcohol to interfere with them. “It is a very interesting study with provocative findings,” says Dr. Deepak Bhatt, a cardiologist and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. I would like to believe the results. Of course, it is a small study with a limited duration of follow-up, so the findings do need to be confirmed in other, larger studies that follow patients for a longer period of time.”

Common painkillers boost risk of repeat heart attack

Most people don’t think twice about taking Motrin, sexAdvil, Aleve or similar over-the-counter painkillers. Some should. A new study suggests that heart attack survivors should use these drugs as little as possible. These medications belong to a family of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They are considered pretty safe when used occasionally in low to moderate doses to relieve pain, with some exceptions. People with kidney disease and those with a history of peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal bleeding should avoid using NSAIDs. People with heart failure, advanced liver disease or high blood pressure should check with their doctors before taking NSAIDs. The new study, published online in the journal Circulation, suggests adding heart attack survivors to the list.

Study backs mammograms for women 50 to 69

Study backs mammograms for women 50 to 69 Women routinely subject their breasts to the often uncomfortable exam known as a mammogram because it can detect breast cancer at an early stage and save lives. But it also finds suspicious spots that turn out to be nothing—after more tests, possible some complications, and definitely a lot of worry. asian teen sexFor years researchers have been trying to weigh the benefits of finding early breast cancers against the risks related to false positives (the spots that turn out to be harmless). This work has sparked some bitter public debates and confusion for women over flip-flopping recommendations. The latest salvo comes from a review of the results of mammograms among more than 12 million women in 18 European countries. From these data, the researchers calculated what they call a “balance sheet” of benefits and harms of routine mammograms. The results were published online in the Journal of Medical Screening.

Restless legs linked to broken hearts

Restless legs linked to broken hearts The sleep-robbing condition known as restless legs syndrome (RLS) raises the risk of heart disease in older women about as much as smoking and obesity, according to a new Harvard-based study published online in the journal Circulation. “If the link to heart disease is confirmed—and there is a growing body of evidence to support that—it would show that restless legs syndrome carries a burden of future risk of a serious medical illness,” explains research team member Dr. John Winkelman, medical director of the Sleep Health Center of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. anal pornUncovering this link could help people with RLS pay better attention to their cardiovascular health and potentially ward off a heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular condition. “We can use RLS to identify those who have a higher risk of developing coronary heart disease if our findings are confirmed by future studies,” says study leader Dr. Xiang Gao, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and research scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Avoid These Foods in Diabetes

High sugar foods such as candy (sugar syrup, fructose syrup) lack nutritional qualities and contain only high calories in the form of simple carbohydrates. As it contains only carbohydrates and calories, it can increase blood sugar rapidly and also it can increase bodyweight, both of which have detrimental effects and can complicate diabetes. If you are fond of sugar and sweets, try to consume sweet foods with high quality complex carbohydrates such as fresh fruits. In diabetes eating fresh fruits such as apple, orange, berries, berries etc. is good, because these fruits contain lots of fibers (along with vitamins and sex movies minerals and other nutrients) and do not allow rapid digestion and absorption of complex carbohydrates and as a result do not cause rapid rise in blood sugar. Avoid candy and related foods, if you are diabetic for better control of blood sugar.
