4 Foods To Stop Smoking Success

The desire to stop smoking is very large, but the bad habits that the health damage that would not stop. Any foods that help smokers stop smoking tobacco desire? and foods also trigger a desire to smoke?

Duke Univesritas study found there are four types of foods that can make sense of a bad cigarette. These foods help to eliminate regular cigarettes taste that makes people addicted.

• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Dairy products
• Non-carbonated drinks such as water and fruit juices
  

In addition there are three types of food that makes smoking more enjoyable. The smokers who intend to quit, should avoid:

• Meat
• Coffee
• Alcoholic beverages
  

Although not yet be explained further, researchers speculate that certain foods trigger the production of saliva, which makes cigarettes taste better or less good.

The same research offers some delicious food products while maintaining the diet.

Fruit salad dessert in the form of various fruits are sweet

• Vegetables: recipes food with ingredients cauliflower, peppers, broccoli and other green vegetables
• Yogurt: yogurt, pina colada or a citrus berry smoothie to start
• Cheese: vegetable pizza with a sprinkling of cheese, caramel lasagna was decent so fine cuisine for a healthy diet as well.
  

Gold Lung Cancer Detection

Lung cancer became the number one killer disease in Indonesia and the world today. Each year 1.3 million people died in the world because of this disease.

CANCER lungs become the number one killer disease in Indonesia and the world today. Each year 1.3 million people died in the world because of this disease. As many as 70 percent of sufferers are those who smoke cigarettes. Unfortunately, lung cancer can not be detected since the beginning.

As a result, the new patients with cancer known as tumor spread to other tissues. But, in the days of nano technology as now, the impasse was solved. The experts at the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa to find and create the detector lung cancer advanced. Tested on 40 healthy people and 50 people who allegedly have cancer, as contained in the edition of the journal Nature Nanotechnology early September 2009, the tool successfully detected a healthy lung and a grown virus.

According to Hossam Haick, researchers who are also senior lecturer at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute, the tool was first made in the world. Previous instruments, including those used in medicine is the detection of cancer, which analyzes the carbon from the patient's breath. Must be inserted into the mouth, possibly mixed with oxygen when analyzed so that the results less accurate.

Hossam-made tools of microchipemas. Chipini posted on the body to detect the amount of carbon expelled when you breathe. The amount that will thrill the gold layer in the chip, and then sends a signal to the computer to generate images. Analysis of carbon substance that will tell if the lung was cancer. In that experiment, accurate because the results deteksinya no different with the results of conventional instruments.

Lung Cancer Not Just for Cigarettes

Lung cancer is not only triggered by a cigarette or cigar. Indeed other than the active smokers, passive smokers also at risk for this cancer.

Lung Cancer is not only triggered by a cigarette or cigar. Indeed other than the active smokers, passive smokers also at risk for this cancer. Gender and hormonal factors can also be the cause.

Journalism some time ago lost one of its best journalists. Women who worked in one of the leading newspapers have long suffered from lung cancer that eventually claimed his life. The question, a woman who is well known and friendly by fellow journalists at all non-smokers.

The relationship between smoking and lung health had long been sounded. It was none other than tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals and most of the carcinogenic substance or substances that can cause cancer. Two major carcinogenic substances in tobacco smoke are nitrosamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

However, smoking is not the only cause of lung cancer. Although smoking is the major cause of about 90 percent of lung cancer cases in men and about 70 percent in women. The more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk for suffering from lung cancer.

There are other causes another substance that is found or inhaled in the workplace. Working with asbestos, radiation, arsenic, chromate, nickel, klorometil ethers, mustard gas, and coke oven emission can cause lung cancer, although usually only occurs in workers who also smoked. Approximately 10-15 percent of patients with lung cancer in men and 5 percent in women caused by this.

Passive smokers or those who participated inhaling smoke from smokers in the long run also have a risk of lung cancer. Studies show that secondhand smoke is a risk of lung cancer 24 percent more than those who do not smoke.

Professor of Pulmonology and Science University School of Medicine respiration Indonesia (FKUI) Prof. Ernst Johannis Manuhutu SpP (K) said that, cause lung cancer, not only because of smoking, many other factors that influence. "Gender and hormonal factors can also be the cause," he said. Another factor, he added, such as air pollution, especially substance adenokarisinoma and alveolar cell carcinoma. However, usually occurs in people who have lung scarring due to a lung disease such as tuberculosis and fibrosis.

The symptoms of lung cancer, said Ernst, depending on the type, location and how its spread. Usually the main symptoms are persistent cough. Patients who suffer from chronic bronchitis, lung cancer is often noticed that the cough gets worse. Sputum may contain blood. Even if the cancer grows into the blood vessels beneath it, can cause bleeding.

Symptoms that occur later are loss of appetite, weight loss and weakness. Lung cancer often leads to accumulation of fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) that the patient experienced shortness of breath. If the cancer spreads in the lungs, shortness of breath can occur great, blood oxygen levels are low and heart failure.

Ernst revealed, the people affected by lung cancer is a very long time which is about 10-15 years. If since the 15-year-old man was smoking, probably at the age of about 35 or 40 years old man suffering from lung cancer.

Diagnosis of lung cancer based on the type of cell types, and signs enough. One way that can be used is to consume antioxidants are compounds that can neutralize free radicals by protecting the body cells, especially the lungs. However, this is a last resort and not a 100 percent treatment inhibit or prevent cancer. This is only to reduce the risk of cancer.

There are several antioxidants that can be consumed ie vitamins A, C, and E in the form of food supplements. These antioxidants protect the lungs against damage by oxidation and fracture (fr). Some foods such as soy, tofu, tempeh, and oncom genistein also contain compounds which are strong antioxidant and antitumor, which can stimulate the immune system. The mechanism works is to stimulate the restoration of tumor cells into normal cells, especially in lung cancer. Green tea contains bioflavonoids which Epi-Catechin Gallat Gallo is also a powerful antioxidant activity 10 times stronger than vitamin C.

There are several types of treatment for this disease, namely surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Lung specialist from RSUP Friendship Dr Ahmad said Hudoyo SpPD FCCP, this type of treatment tailored to the type of cancer, the level of expansion or spread at the time of diagnosis, and the overall health condition of the patient.

"To the degree I and II are operating, while the degree III and IV can be taken chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of both therapies target," he said.

Operation is the act of primary treatment at an early stage cancer. Patients who undergo surgery can not be switched to radiotherapy. The level of recovery of lung cancer is still very good if you are still at an early stage. The problem is very rare cancers detected at this point.

If cancer cells have spread to other areas, treatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. If the cancer blocking the main air flow, can be used lasers to freeze the tumor, or keep open the flow of air with a stent or tube.

Cancer killer of Turmeric

British scientists are examining efficacy of turmeric extract based contained in foods spicy curry. Initial allegations, the extract has the potential to kill cancer cells.

No kidding, the extract was working on the first 24 hours since consumption. Chemical-curcumin-has long been known to have the power to restore power and been tested as a treatment of arthritis and dementia.

Although still in the laboratory scale, tests by a team from the Cork Cancer Research Center shows the destroyed curcumin against the cancer cells esophagus.

Some cancer experts say, the findings published in the British Journal of Cancer that can help doctors find treatments outside the medical model now.

A member of the research team, Dr. Sharon McKenna, acknowledged that researchers have long known the potential of natural materials which cells heal the wrong, such as curcumin.

The doctors in England who wish to further findings to treat throat cancer. Each year approximately 7800 people diagnosed with throat cancer in the UK.

Cancer types into six major fatal cancers, or about 5 percent of the mortality rate in the UK. From the perspective of resources, Indonesia is one country with potential medicinal herbs abundant. (BBC NEWS / GSA)

Cancer Threatens Developing Countries

Chairman of Indonesia Cancer Foundation Adiati Arifin M Siregar warned, the threat of cancer cases in developing countries, including Indonesia has increased.

"The International Agency for Cancer Research says about 50 percent to 70 percent of cancer cases will occur in developing countries, including Indonesia," said Arifin Adiati during the inauguration committee Cancer Foundation Indonesia Branch West Kalimantan Pontianak period in 2009-2014.

Factors triggering the world's population pyramid changes both in number and age distribution. Then the transition of cancer risk factors from developed countries to developing countries.

According to him, the condition was also aggravated the lack of public knowledge about cancer and the means for early detection.

Indonesia Cancer Foundation focused counseling for 10 types of cancer, cervical cancer, breast, liver, lung, skin, nasopharynx, lymph nodes, colon and hot trophoblast disease.

"The cigarettes are also a concern because it became one of the causes of cancer," said Arifin Adiati.

Indonesia Cancer Foundation Center provides compensation for cancer drugs for patients who can not afford with a budget of Rp100 million per month.

West Kalimantan Provincial Government Regional Secretary said the growth Syakirman disease is not contagious, one of cancer, a major challenge for every region.

"Increased life expectancy, can overcome some infectious diseases, and lifestyle triggers morbidity and mortality are not infectious diseases," said Syakirman.

The pattern of life that increases exposure to risk factors, including smoking, lack of exercise, stress, eating foods high and low in fiber is weak, and environmental conditions worse.

"About 70 percent of new cases of cancer was found in an advanced stage condition," said Syakirman.

He acknowledged the treatment of disease and early detection of cancer is not fully given priority in the various policies and government health programs.

Hallmark Channel: Breast Cancer Campaign

Early inspection to prevent breast cancer, one disease cause of death for women the highest in the world, is very important to do.

To build awareness of the channel women's lifestyle show, Hallmark Channel, conducting education and breast cancer care campaign throughout the month, as part of a global movement, "Breast Cancer Care Month".

"Impressions are expected to reach viewers, particularly women, across Asia," said Natalie Gee, director of Universal Creative Networks International as the parent company of Hallmark Channel, in a press release received by AFP on Tuesday.

Through the show, which aired beginning in October, viewers can educate yourself with the facts and myths about breast cancer, especially of the testimony (witness) and the story of four people who had recovered from the deadly disease.

"They were telling how and what do I do that can beat this disease," said Natalie.

Hallmark Channel according to the motto, namely `Turn and Love Life", the TV channel wants to inspire viewers with a variety of positive messages about breast cancer and motivate them to listen and do something to avoid the dangers of breast cancer.

"We hope the audience can get the Hallmark messages to convey this PINK campaign, and that early detection can save lives," he said.

Breast cancer most commonly found in the case in women, but men can this type of cancer is less likely though, that is, one in 1000. Surgery is the treatment most commonly done, and if necessary followed by chemotherapy or radiation.

Clinical symptoms can be a lump in the breast, generally does not cause pain but continued to grow. At a certain level of breast or nipple changes, such as orange peel wrinkle, skin color became reddish, foul-smelling ulcers occur, and bleeding of the nipples, which was accompanied by pain or pain.

Next happen enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit, arm swelling (edema), and eventually the cancer spread throughout the body.

"Factor causes"

Specific causes of breast cancer is unknown, but there are many factors that have an influence on estimated incidence of this disease, including reproductive characteristics associated with nuliparitas, menarche at a young age, menopause at older age, and her first pregnancy at older age.

Others, the use of exogenous hormones, which reports the Harvard School of Public Health said there was an increase of breast cancer was a significant user of estrogen replacement therapy.

A metaanalisis also stated, although there is no risk of breast cancer in oral contraceptive users, women who use this drug for a long time have a high risk for breast cancer before menopause.

Obesity (overweight) can also encourage the emergence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

The rest is family history factors, and those who have these risk are encouraged to carry out checks as early as possible and routine.

Hallmark Channel is produced entertainment channel NBC Universal for women who want to have the appearance of fine and feel great and love of life in their own way.

Entertainment programs offered in English that presents the story of everyday life that appeal to women, among others, in the form of drama, talk shows, reality shows and lifestyle, as well as TV series and movies.

Pants Size and Cancer Risk

Do not ignore the size of the waist and groin which gradually increasing diameter. Signs of obesity in the two parts of the body is a signal has occurred in the abdominal fat deposition.

Fat accumulation is usually hidden and surrounding organs in the abdomen and associated with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and the risk of heart disease.

"For a long time has been hypothesized that the size of our clothing is a tangible sign of obesity and fat inside the abdomen," said Dr. AE Laura Hughes, of Maastricht University, Netherlands.

Using information from 2500 men and women involved in the study of diet and cancer, the researchers tried to justify the link between clothing size and the size of the waist and thighs, with a body mass index. According to the researchers, the size of a skirt or pants in the present one associated with the risk of cancer in the future.

During 13 years of the study period, the researchers found that in women, the size of a large skirt can predict the risk of endometrial cancer. While the men, the size of a large trousers could be used to predict the risk of kidney cancer.

In men, waist size should really pay attention when more than 90 cm, while for women, more than 80 cm.

"In the future this may help the study to collect epidemiological data as well as clothing sizes weight and height, especially in the vulnerable population obesity," said Hughes.

Pancreatic Cancer lonely Attack

Pancreatic cancer claimed the lives of Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze, famous through the movie Ghost, September 14 at the age of 57 years. Swayze finally had to succumb to the disease after struggling against it for more than a year. In March 2008, Swayze was diagnosed with the deadly disease. Some time earlier seriosa singer Luciano Pavarotti, who had been a trio of wide popular tenor, with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras in a concert at the Baths, Caracalla, Rome at the close of World Cup 1990, also became victims of pancreatic cancer. pavarotti died at the age of 71 years, after a year before being diagnosed with the disease. Pancreatic cancer is one type of deadly cancer, because usually attack without symptoms, and had known at an advanced stage. The National Cancer Institute says pancreatic cancer is rarely curable. If the cancer is still in the pancreas (localized), the level of recovery would be greater. Even so, this is usually a good hope in all cases only slightly, ie less than 20 percent. For patients with cancer who are still measuring less than 2 cm, with no spread to lymph nodes, surgical removal of cancer patients could save at least five years. This possibility could reach 18-24 percent. The pancreas is an organ shaped like a sponge tube / sponge with a length of about 6 inches, which is behind the stomach. The pancreas produces enzymes and hormones, including insulin. Pancreatic enzymes help digest food in the small intestine, whereas insulin to control blood sugar levels. Both enzymes and hormones necessary to maintain the body in order to work properly. Approximately 95 percent of tumors that are cancerous (malignant) in adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is, which is usually derived from glandular cells lining the pancreatic duct. Most occur in adenocarcinoma of the pancreas head. Adenocarcinoma usually does not occur before age 50. The average age at diagnosis was 55 years old. Men have two possibilities for this disease. Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is more common in smokers than nonsmokers. People who suffer from chronic pancreatic disease and those who are likely to suffer long-lasting diabetes (especially the women) have a greater risk. Without Symptoms Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose at an early stage because almost without symptoms, whereas physical observation and blood tests often show normal results. Pancreatic cancer is usually only show general symptoms such as high fever, weight loss, and abdominal pain. When cancer spreads, pain developed in the stomach over and sometimes the back. When eating or lying on the added pain. Therefore, the patient will be nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss and weakness. In addition, because the head of pancreas cancer may relate to the disposal of bile (a digestive fluid produced by the liver) into the small intestine, jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin and white of the eye) caused by blockage of bile flow is usually a symptom beginning. Jaundice is accompanied by intense itching all over the body due to storage of bile salt crystals under the skin. Vomiting can result from these things when pancreatic cancer in the head clogging the flow of stomach contents into the small intestine (gastric tract obstruction) or blockage of the small intestine itself. The first symptom is usually also indicated by pain and weight loss. At diagnosis, 90 percent of people experience great pain in upper stomach through to the back, and lost significant weight. Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas usually spread to other parts of the body before it was found that very low prognosisinya. Less than two percent of patients with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas can survive for 5 years after diagnosis. The hope of healing is with surgery, performed at 10 to 20 percent of people who believe that the cancer does not spread. After surgery, only 15 to 20 percent of people survive to 5 years. Additional chemotherapy and radiation therapy is usually given but it is not possible to improve times or survival rates substantially. Pancreatic cancer can be very fierce indeed. Many sufferers die within a year after diagnosis. Less than four percent of that will survive up to five years after diagnosis.

B Blood Type Highest

A U.S. study recently found that people with blood type O has the possibility of much smaller for pancreatic cancer, while those with blood type B have the highest risk. Compared with people who have blood type O, those with blood type A has the possibility of pancreatic cancer 32 percent higher, while the AB blood type has a 52 percent possibility of higher and B 72 percent. The discovery, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute is based on a study of 107,503 men and women whose health was observed from the 1970s until the 1980s. The discovery was not likely to have value in the near future for doctors who have patients with the disease, but may play a role in the future in developing a useful method of examination, said Dr. Brian Wolpin of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and Harvard Medical School, who led the study. The discovery of the relationship between blood groups and risk of pancreatic cancer gives scientists new insights on biological mechanisms associated with the disease, he said. "There is little genetic risk factors are known to pancreatic cancer. And what is shown in the study were blood group, which is determined by a gene on chromosome nine, seems to be associated with risk of developing the disease," Wolpin said as quoted by Reuters. That may indicate that both genes that determine blood golonga, or a gene on chromosome nine, and may be important risk factors derived in pancreatic cancer. The American Cancer Society says 34,290 Americans died from pancreatic cancer each year, which puts the disease in the fourth as the cause of cancer death in the United States. Pancreatic cancer is often spread rapidly, and in many people are not detected until it reaches an advanced stage when surgical removal is not possible anymore.
