*The average smoker(30 cigerettes per day) has 4 to 6 times the chance of having disease if he's in the 45-54 year age group.

*if the mother smoked during pregnancy.her baby will average 6 ounces less and its pulse will be 30% faster than a non-smoker's baby. and there'll be withdrawal symptoms in the baby after birth.Permature birth has been related to smoking by the mother.Ther is a direct link between parents' smoking and children's respiratory disease.

*A smoker needs much more food and sleep since nicotine makes his body work harder and less efficiently and his heart beat faster,thus using more fuel and energy .This,together with the fact that a smoker loses much of his appetite and his taste for food,explains why smokers have less trouble keeping their weight down.when one quits smoking,it's IMPERATIVE that the intake of food is drastically reduced in order to keep the body weight normal.having to eat less is of course an additional saving of time and money.

Mesothelioma Treatment by Stage

Mesothelioma treatment decisions are made, in part, by determining the stage of the cancer (how far it has spread). This eMedTV segment breaks down mesothelioma treatment by stage for localized and advanced cases of the disease.

Today,everyone knows that the blodd circulates around the body,but this has only been understood since 17th century.Here is some imformation about some of the people and ideas that existed before them.

Hippocrates was Greek physician (doctor) who lived between 460 and 377 BC.He though that the body contained four different substances called 'humours'.These were blood,phlegm,yello bile and black bile.For his time,he was an excellent physician and highly respected.

Galen was also Greek,He lieved about 500 years later than Hippocrates,but-like everyones else-he still followed Hippocrates's ideas.Amongs other jobs,he was chief physician to the gladiators in the town of pergamum.He knew that blood was contained inside blood vessels,but he thought it just swished about in them,rather than following around the body.He also thought that blood went from one side of the heart to the other y seeping through little pores in the septum that divides the left side ot the heart from the right.He never dissected a human body, and he never did any experiments to check his ideas.But everyone belived him,and unquestioningly accepted these ideas for almost the next100 years.

Ibn-al-Nafis was a physician who was born in syria.He died in 1289.He was the first person to describe the circulation of the blood to the lungs where it becomes exygenated

Personal programmed by following these tailored diet and fitness programmed, which are based on expert advice, you can improve and protect your physical and mental health.
Programmed one
Boost your energy by getting active and setting calorie targets.
Getting started
Read an explanation of what to expect in programmed two of your healthy living plan. Expert, week-by-week advice will help you become more active, burn calories and tone your body.
Diet
this week's challenge is to find out how much fat is in the food you buy and how you can reduce your intake. The ideas below should get you started.

Your aims
a good daily target is to keep fat intake below 100g for men and 75g for women. If you're trying to lose weight, your target should be 70g for men and 55g for women.

Problems with fat
there are nine calories in every gram of fat - more than twice as many as in the equivalent amount of protein or carbohydrate. That's why cutting down on high-fat foods is the first step to a healthier diet.

A diet high in saturated fat - the type found in animal produce - is also one of the leading factors in heart disease, the number one cause of premature death in the UK. Saturated fat can block the arteries that carry blood away from the heart, leading to high blood pressure and heart attacks.

How to eat low fat
if you're used to eating high-fat food on most days, it's time to swap these for lower fat and starchy alternatives. Try the following suggestions, aiming to do as many as possible this week, but making them all part of your routine in the long-term:

Use a low-fat spread instead of butter or margarine.
Eat fewer meat pies, cheesy dishes and sausages, and choose lean meat instead.
Grill, bake and dry-fry (use a low heat and a non-stick pan).
Don't add oil or butter to vegetables and potatoes.
Make tomato-based sauces, not creamy ones. Try this grilled tomato sauce.
Use granules to make gravy instead of fat from the meat.
Have a couple of meat-free days a week and experiment with vegetarian dishes. For example, lentil and spinach stew, spinach and chickpea curry or nut loaf.
Reduce the portion size of meat to about 75g and fill up on vegetables and starchy foods, such as potatoes, rice, pasta, bread or couscous.
Remove visible fat from meat, eat fish at least once a week, choose low-fat milk and yoghurt, and keep cheese as an occasional treat.
Exercise
Welcome to your first weekly exercise challenge and the start of a fitter, healthier lifestyle.

The golden rule for any successful exercise programmed is gradual progression. If you try to do too much too soon you may lose steam and risk injury. This programmed enables you to build up your activity level slowly, so the process of getting fitter is enjoyable, safe and, above all, sustainable.

Walkers enjoy many of the benefits that people who engage in far more vigorous activities experience. They also have a lower risk of injury, a higher level of adherence and far more opportunities to fit their activity into a busy day.

This week, your challenge is to do two ten-minute walks on five days of the week.

Finding time to walk
Try one walk in the morning and one in the evening. Where possible, combine these walks with another activity. That way walking will quickly become part of your daily routine.

Try the following:

Make walking a part of your journey to work. Park or get off the bus, tube or train further from your destination and walk the rest of the way.
Walk your children to school or nursery.
Before you get into the car or on public transport, ask yourself if you could walk instead.
Walk during your lunch break - buy your sandwich from a shop further away, for example.
Socialize and walk - go for a stroll with a friend.

How to do it
Walking is the simplest, most natural form of human movement. You don't need any specific training or specialist equipment, apart from supportive shoes.

At this stage, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you walk, or whether you have to stop to catch your breath. Simply set out for five minutes, turn around and walk back.

It's up to you whether you walk on five consecutive days (for example, weekdays) or divide the walks up throughout the week.

Your week could look like this:

Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri
2 x 10- 2 x 10- 2 x 10- 2 x 10-   2 x 10-  
minute minute minute minute Rest minute Rest
walks walks walks walks   walks

By the end of this week, you'll have covered somewhere between 5km and 10.5km (3.5 miles and 6.5 miles), depending on your pace, and will have burned as many as 650 calories.

Standing tall
the second part of the first week's challenge relates to posture. Having good posture not only allows you to get the most out of exercise, it also helps prevent back problems and makes you look slimmer.

Does the standing tall exercise every day this week?



1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Ensure your weight is distributed evenly between the front and back of your feet. Pull up through the arches of your feet and ensure all your toes are in contact with the ground. Pull up through your legs, but don't make your knees rigid.



2. Keeping your hips square lengthen through your spine and gently draw your belly button towards your back. Relax your shoulders and open your chest by turning your palms to face your thighs.



3. Keep your neck long, with your chin slightly retracted, and allow your head to sit squarely on top of your spine. Ensure your buttocks are firm but not clenched. Breathe freely as you hold for ten seconds.
Over the week, gradually increase the hold to 30 seconds. At first, you may find the position uncomfortable, because your joints and muscles are used to a less-than-perfect posture. But with practice it should start to feel more natural.

(The Basics to Practice Every Day)
"He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything." -Arabian Proverb

1. Move more
make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, and Cha…. Then do it!

2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!

3. Quit Smoking 
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

4. Reduce Stress 
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e., Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them. 

5. Protect Yourself from Pollution 
if you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.

6. Wear Your Seat Belt
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.

7. Floss Your Teeth
recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss.

8. Avoid Excessive Drinking 
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.

9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook 
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing. 

10. Choose Your Parents Well 
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.
