Alcholics And Their Life Threatening Addcition


Addiction. If effects millions of of people in the U.S. every year. Whether it be alcohol or drugs, people are addicted. For the most stubborn, life threatening events cant even stop their addiction. Life-saving surgery to prevent repeated severe bleeding from ruptured veins in the esophagus or upper stomach may not induce some patients with alcoholic liver disease to stop drinking alcohol, researchers report. Such a surgical procedure may be necessary to reduce the pressure in the veins of the esophagus and upper stomach among patients with cirrhosis, a scarring of the liver frequently caused by alcohol abuse. The study group consisted of 132 patients with cirrhosis, including 78 with alcoholic liver disease, lead author Dr. Michael R. Lucey, of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and colleagues report. Twenty to 40 percent of patients with alcoholic liver disease acknowledged alcohol use during 5 years after receiving the pump. About one third of those with alcoholic liver disease reported drinking more than four alcoholic drinks per day during follow-up.

Losing those ZzZz's?


Sleeplessness is common among a huge group of Americans who suffer from some type of insomnia. "Sleep problems are very, very common," explained Dr. David Schulman, director of the Sleep Laboratory at Emory University in Atlanta. "They affect more than a third of Americans in a given year." Sleep problems may be common, but Schulman stressed that insomnia is not normal if it lasts more than a month or two. A persistent lack of sleep or poor quality sleep can leave you feeling exhausted when you wake up. He said most adults need about eight hours of sleep a night. In reality "the average American sleeps just under seven hours," he said. "That's a problem." Before you can treat the problem, you probably need to figure out what kind of insomnia you're dealing with. If you suffer from occasion sleeplessness, its much better to just take a non addictive vitamin or supplement rather than an over the counter medicine that is know to cause addictiveness. If your insomnia lasts over one or 2 months, then you should seek your primary physician immediately.

Is it a disease?


There is a current debate whether alcoholism is an actual illness. Explanations suggesting it is and otherwise both have substantial arguments backing them up. So who is actually telling the truth?

Let's see what science is saying about alcoholism as a disease. According to Alcoholics Anonymous of Forth Worth, Texas, alcohol disrupts the normal functioning of the brain and this damage is "perhaps even more insidious than the damage sustained by the liver, the heart and other vital organs." (www.legacyaa.com) An assertion is made that alcoholism may be a hereditary thing and there are studies that try to substantiate this claim. One significant experiment was conducted by D.W. Goodwin. The study, which involved adopted children, showed that those whose biological parents were alcoholics were much likelier to become alcoholics than those whose biological parents were non-alcoholics. This statistic was proven further by the fact that the adopted kids with alcoholic biological parents were still likelier to become alcoholic themselves even though their foster parents are non-alcoholic.

A study such as this is just an example among various other experiments. But whether alcoholism has biological roots or not, I think people should assume some personal responsibility. We do have a choice whether to buy that pack of beer or not. Or to take that vodka shot. Or to consume that tequila sunrise. Unlike most diseases, we have the capability to avoid being an alcoholic. And should we be trapped in a cycle of addiction, remember that willpower is still the best cure.

vegans and protein


Protein, and I can almost hear the voice of my high school resonating in my head, is a basic building block of the human body. They are created by amino acids, 20 of them to be exact, and while some may be synthesized by the body, others may only come from food intake. The most common sources would be the common poultry products, meat, and fish.

So with the advent of Veganism, the most common question people ask is, "How do vegans satisfy their protein needs?" The truth is, studies show that vegans have just about RDA amino acids in their bodies as do non-vegans.Beans and grains and a whole list of plant products are actually rich in protein. In fact, all plants contain protein although some have a higher level than others. Studies are still being conducted to this day, and although a higher food intake is required for vegans, there are no significant signs that choosing such lifestyle would be detrimental to one's health.

The Legnedary Push-Up


We have to admit, there is no such thing as a "perfect" exercise. Although the legendary "push-up" is as close to perfect as we'll ever get. The push-up doesn't require any equipment, it conditions several muscles at the same time and it can be done almost anywhere. Because it uses body weight as resistance, a push-up is considered a strength-building exercise, and strength exercises can improve muscle tone and bone density while reducing the risk of osteoporosis. The primary muscles that are used during a push-up are the chest, front shoulder and triceps muscles. However, because the push-up requires you to hold your body in a stable, horizontal position against gravity and hold it there at all times, you also engage your neck, core, hips and legs with each repetition. Although the push-up is a simple exercise, many people often do it incorrectly.

California Is Set to Ban Trans Fats


California wants to get rid of those trans fats from your favorite fast food restaurants. Lawmakers this week approved a bill that would ban restaurants and bakeries from using trans fats. Laws that protect consumers from their own unhealthful habits have more than a whiff of the nanny state about them, though that hasn't stopped cities such as New York and Philadelphia from banning trans fats. California would take these measures a step further by becoming the first state to forbid them if the bill, AB 97, is signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Trans fats can be found in partially hydrogenated oil. It is a thick lard-like goo that is beloved by the food industry because it maintains its shelf life for long periods of time without refrigeration. It also enhances texture for some foods and it is very cheap. Scientific evidence is strong that it's also terrible for you, increasing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
