Its All About CholestroL

ABOUT CHOLESTEROL...?   Cholesterol is a type of fat made in the liver and found in animal foods.   CHOLESTEROL IS NEEDED FOR IMPORTANT BODY FUNCTIONS. Such as... * Building cell walls * Protecting nerves * Making hormones.   THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CHOLESTEROL. * THE GOOD. (HDL or High Density Lipid) * THE BAD and the UGLY!! (LDL or Low Density Lipid.)   A higher level of HDL is needed to carry LDL from the BLOOD back to the LIVER to be ELIMINATED from the body.   If there is a higher level of LDL cholesterol in the BLOOD this may: * Cause high blood pressure! * Raise your risk of heart attack! * Raise your risk of stroke! * Cause the kidneys to fail!   HOW ??   Cholesterol is broken down into LDL which is needed by the body cells. Once The cells are satisfied the unused LDL remains to become what is known as Blood cholesterol.   The main danger of high blood cholesterol is that fatty plaques may form Which will decrease the diameter of blood vessels. This leads to a Restriction of the flow of blood and oxygen to the tissues of the body.   * If an artery supplying blood to the HEART becomes blocked you may have a Heart attack!   * If an artery supplying blood to the BRAIN becomes blocked you may have a Stroke!   * If an artery supplying blood to the kidney becomes blocked you may suffer Kidney failure.   WHAT CAUSES HIGH BLOOD CHOLESTEROL?   The main causes are: * Eating too much high saturated fat. I.e. Fat found in butter and dairy Products, cakes biscuits and take away foods. * Being overweight.. * Not exercising.   WHAT CAN YOU DO TO LOWER YOUR CHOLESTEROL?   YOU CAN ......eat more: * Fruits and vegetables. * Oily fish (tuna, mackeral and herring). * Skinless chicken. * Fibre rich foods, e.g. Oats and wholemeal bread.   YOU CAN.... Eat less * Fried take away fast foods. * High fat dairy products and eggs. * Saturated fats and oils. * Biscuits, cakes and pastries.   YOU CAN... USE * Unsaturated margarine instead of butter.   * Unsaturated oils (olive oil) instead of lard.   * Low fat cooking methods: steaming, grilling and microwaving.   YOU SHOULD... * Make exercise a part of your day. (Walking is good). * Not smoke * Drink more water.   THE LINK BETWEEN BLOOD CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND HEART DISEASE IS CLEAR.   STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT IF AN AVERAGE MAN CAN REDUCE HIS BLOOD CHOLESTEROL BY ONLY 10% HE CAN REDUCE HIS RISK OF HEART ATTACK BY UP TO 50%!!   Start NOW to make the changes because.....   YOUR HEALTH AND WELL BEING ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU AND TO US...!!   Disclaimer : The reader of this article should exercise all precautionary measures while following instructions of this article.

All you need to know about Swine Flu

While there have been a number of outbreaks of the new strain of swine flu, there also have emerged a whole gamut of misinformation. Now, scientists have elaborated exactly what one needs to know about this new epidemic.

Infectious disease expert Charles Ericsson, M.D., professor of internal medicine and director of Travel Medicine at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, has answered some questions regarding swine flu, which are as follows:

1. How do symptoms of swine flu differ from other types of flu?

None, really, although this flu might include gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea and vomiting), as well as the usual respiratory symptoms. The basic symptoms for swine flu are similar to the seasonal flu we are vaccinated for each year, which may include, fever, sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, chills, headache and body aches, fatigue.

2. Is there medication for this?

Yes, Tamiflu or Relenza have shown to be effective against these recently reported strains of swine flu. Altogether, there are four anti-viral drugs that we commonly use to treat various strains of flu.

3. Is there a vaccine?

Not yet, but the CDC has this current strain of virus and will consider whether to add it to next year's flu vaccine as time goes on.

4. Can I catch it from pigs?

No. This strain is one that is communicable through human-to-human contact. It is a mutated form of a swine virus.

5. Can I catch it from eating pork?

Absolutely not! Swine flu is not transmitted by food. It is not a so-called foodborne illness. Bacon, ham and other pork products are safe to eat, assuming they are prepared properly. An internal temperature of 160 degrees for cooked meat will kill any bacteria or virus.

Swine flu is transmitted by airborne droplets from an infected person's sneeze or cough; or from germs on hands, or germ-laden surfaces. Eating pork will not give you swine flu any more than eating chicken will give you bird flu.

6. How does it cross from a pig to a human?

The swine virus mutates so that it can infect humans and be spread by humans.

7. Can it kill me?

Deaths have been reported from the Mexico City outbreak. So far the cases in the US have been mild and there have been no deaths as yet. But, like seasonal flu, there is the potential for serious outcomes.

8. How is it different from avian (bird) flu?

Avian flu so far has had difficulty infecting humans unless they are exposed intensely to birds, because the virus has not mutated in a way that makes it transmissible by humans to other humans. This virus has origins genetically from both pigs and birds, and the big difference from the avian flu is that this swine virus can be transmitted readily from human to human.

9. What if I'm on a plane? Should I wear a mask?

Not necessary. The air on a plane is filtered. Transmission might occur if someone sitting close to you coughs or sneezes on you. The newer designs of aircraft airflow keep the air in a top-down flow, not forced air from front to back. However, if you do have a respiratory illness, it might be best not to travel.

10. Other than hand washing and covering my mouth if I sneeze or cough, what can I do to take care of myself and others?

If you are ill, stay home. Control your sneezes and coughs. If you cough into your hand, remember the virus could be live on your hand at least for a few minutes, so wash your hands before touching anyone else. If you get symptoms suggesting the flu, call your doctor, who can call in a prescription for medication to treat the flu. Resist going to the doctor's office or a hospital ER for influenza symptoms unless you are seriously ill. You do not want to spread the disease to others.

"There is a huge difference between preparedness and paranoia. Although we're dealing with a new strain of flu, a set of universally applicable preventive measures exist that can be employed right away by everyone to help stop the spread of this disease," said Dr. Robert Emery, occupational health expert at the UT School of Public Health at Houston.
