Their use became commonplace with the coronavirus epidemic. They are also waste that unfortunately we find thrown away anyhow, so, in the end, in nature. However, much more than waste, we know less, health has a non-negligible impact on the environment and the climate. The health sector is responsible for 4.4% of total global greenhouse gas emissions, according to a recent publication by <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(20)30121-2/fulltext?dgcid=raven_jbs_etoc_email">The Lancet </a>.

Just for greenhouse gases (GHG) in 2015, the sector of health globally emits 2.4 gigatonnes of CO2.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">In OECD countries, health spending represents on average 9% of GDP. The authors note that the impact of the environment and pollution on health is well documented, but that, conversely, less attention is paid to the ecological impact of care.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">From this study of 189 countries, it appears that the impact of the health sector generally represents between 1 and 5% of the pollution studied in most countries. The researchers focused on greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutants (fine particles, nitrous oxide and sulfur), water pollution and even nitrogen emissions. The transport of patients, the supply of energy to the beats and the production of medical equipment and pharmaceuticals are at the origin of these impacts.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">The scientists write that “ despite substantial progress in energy efficiency, in water consumption, in the use of materials, in the reduction of pollutant emissions and greenhouse gas emissions, all the environmental impacts studied health sector increased between 2000 and 2015. Thus, over this period, fine particle pollution increased by 9% and greenhouse gas emissions from health increased by a third (29%). This is explained by the doubling of health spending, which went from 8.5% of global GDP to 10 %. "</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">Tony Capon commented: “ The ecological footprint of health is both an ethical and a concrete problem. We know that in 2015, over 460,000 people died prematurely around the world from toxic pollution from burning coal. Honestly, why would a hospital buy electricity from coal when renewable energies are now available? " Globally, <a href="https://www.goodplanet.info/2016/03/15/sante-23-deces-monde-lies-a-lenvironnement-selon-loms/">the WHO </a>estimates that 4 deaths is related to an environmental cause.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">Tony Capon advises health actors to “ monitor and track their ecological footprint over time on the train, since it has repercussions on the health plan and generates economic costs. They must also put in place plans to reduce their footprint, in particular by reducing the volume of waste from the health sector, which will also make it possible to save money ”.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">Julien leprovost</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">Source: <a href="https://www.goodplanet.info/2020/07/27/le-secteur-de-la-sante-responsable-de-44-des-emissions-mondiales-de-gaz-a-effet-de-serre/">GoodPlanetMag</a></font></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Christian Siodmakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13216908031190477585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843788561037481248.post-85256100984292560892020-07-27T15:36:00.007+03:002020-12-18T11:55:22.450+02:00Medical Tourism: Why consider Bulgaria?<div><font face="arial"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: small; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEionOChZR9yTDKMbPLngGK3kmSYngglbZcGhsmTPmf5wyrKmxKeGOxG-DY6MiKcPiaAt_bxLqTNi-Zhxb1p2BYjFXFj1WvP1Vh9CClzTW2KCrnTNn8EpAvjGxX-jp2WvlFROBrLWgHWJEs/s925/Medical_Tourism_Bg.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="925" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEionOChZR9yTDKMbPLngGK3kmSYngglbZcGhsmTPmf5wyrKmxKeGOxG-DY6MiKcPiaAt_bxLqTNi-Zhxb1p2BYjFXFj1WvP1Vh9CClzTW2KCrnTNn8EpAvjGxX-jp2WvlFROBrLWgHWJEs/s320/Medical_Tourism_Bg.png" width="320" /></a></div>Choosing Bulgaria as a destination for health tourism is a matter of weighing the pros and cons. Although the country does lag behind the rest of Europe in areas such as transport and other services, this lack of development does not extend to healthcare. Coming here for private treatment means considerable savings on your treatment, and your living expenses will be cheaper too. One good tip is to stick to the better developed resorts aimed at foreign visitors. Here you can enjoy the best of both worlds – high quality facilities at surprisingly low prices.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">Alternatively, you can head out into the countryside and discover a proud, patriotic people who offer a warm welcome and strive to make a good impression. This should be done with care however, as very few Bulgarians speak anything other than their native tongue and the national Cyrillic alphabet can be very hard to decipher on road signs. To add to this confusion, locals will shake their heads for yes and nod for no.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">A tasty legacy of Bulgaria’s oft conquered past is its food, with elements of Greek, Turkish and Balkan cuisine fusing to create memorable meals of mouth-watering spiced lamb, for little more than a few pounds a head.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">One of the biggest attractions that bring medical tourists to Bulgaria is the thousand or more natural spas across the country. These have been attracting visitors since Roman times, with warm, mineral rich waters and muds laying claim to all manner of healing and rejuvenating properties. The most famous of these spas have been fully developed into major tourist centres, with high quality hotels and facilities for the most discerning guests.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">Bulgaria’s major claim to fame as a healthcare tourism destination is the proliferation of high quality, low cost private clinics for medical treatments, cosmetic surgery and dentistry. Forced to keep prices low for poorly paid locals and competitive for foreign healthcare tourists in a crowded market, these clinics offer a significant saving compared to the more affluent European member states.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">Combine this with the stunning scenery and relaxed pace of life along the Black Sea Coast resorts, or the breathtaking vistas and fresh air of the mountain retreats, and you have a very special package for your overseas healthcare trip.</font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">Source: <a href="https://www.treatmentabroad.com/destinations/bulgaria/why-choose-bulgaria" target="_blank">Treatment abroad</a></font></div><div><br /></div>Christian Siodmakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13216908031190477585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843788561037481248.post-80191987859063480232018-03-14T11:38:00.010+02:002021-02-26T22:52:20.456+02:00Agave Nectar: A Sweetener That is Even Worse Than Sugar<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The harmful effects of sugar are among the
few things that most health experts agree on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Everyone knows that sugar is unhealthy and
most health conscious people try to avoid it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Not surprisingly, all sorts of other
sweeteners have become popular, both natural and artificial.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">One of those is called Agave nectar, a
sweetener that is found in various "health foods."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">It is claimed to be natural, and marketed as
a diabetic-friendly sweetener that doesn't spike blood sugar levels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">However, if you ignore the marketing claims
and take a look at what Agave nectar really contains, you will learn that it is
actually even worse than plain sugar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Let me explain why...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span><span style="font-family: arial;">What Is Agave?<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The Agave plant grows natively in the
southern U.S. and South America. It is most commonly associated with Mexico.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Although most Westerners only recently
started hearing of Agave, it has been used in Mexico for hundreds (if not
thousands) of years.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Back in the day, the Mexicans used it for
various purposes and believed it to have medicinal properties.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The Mexicans also used to boil the sap
(sugary circulating plant fluid) to produce a sweetener known as miel de agave.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">But the most common use of the Agave plant is
fermenting the sugars in it to produce the alcoholic beverage called tequila.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">In fact, tequila is the most common
commercial use of Agave today and one of Mexico's best known export products.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Like many plants in their natural state,
Agave probably does have some health benefits.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">However, as is so often the case, when the
product is processed and refined it tends to lose some (or all) of these
beneficial health effects. This appears to be the case with the refined Agave
sweetener that people are consuming today.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">BOTTOM LINE: Agave is a plant that grows in
large amounts in Mexico. It has a long history of use as a medicinal plant,
sweetener, and can also be fermented to make tequila.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

Nectar Made?<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The sweetener commonly sold as Agave nectar
would be more accurately labelled as Agave syrup.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The truth is... it has very little in common
with the traditional sweetener made by the Mexicans.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The starting process is the same. They take
the plant, then cut and press it to extract the sugary circulating fluid.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">This fluid is high in sugar, but it also
contains healthy compounds like fructans, which are linked to beneficial effects
on metabolism and insulin.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">However, when processed into a syrup, the
manufacturers break the fructans down into fructose by exposing the sugary
fluid to heat and/or enzymes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">This process destroys all of the health
promoting properties of the Agave plant, but instead produces the concentrated
syrup available on store shelves that is falsely claimed to be healthy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The manufacturing process is similar to how
other unhealthy sweeteners are made, such as High Fructose Corn Syrup.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">So... the sweetener sold as Agave nectar is
NOT truly "nectar" - it is a refined, processed sweetener made from
Agave nectar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">BOTTOM LINE: The Agave sweetener sold today
is made by treating the sugars with heat and enzymes, which destroys all the
beneficial health effects of the Agave plant. The end product is a highly
refined, unhealthy syrup.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of how

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Generally speaking, the higher the GI rating
of a food, the greater the blood sugar spike and the worse it is for your
health.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">This is why high fructose sweeteners are
often marketed as "healthy" or "diabetic friendly."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Agave nectar has a very low GI, primarily
because almost all of the sugar in it is fructose. It has very little glucose,
at least when compared to regular sugar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">A recent study in mice compared the metabolic
effects of Agave nectar and sucrose (plain sugar) after 34 days. The mice
getting agave nectar gained less weight and had lower blood sugar and insulin
levels (8).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">This is actually what we would expect in a
short-term study, as the glucose in plain sugar elevates both blood sugar and
insulin levels, whereas fructose does not.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">That being said... the glycemic index is just
one of many things to consider when looking at the health effects of
sweeteners.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The harmful effects of Agave (and sugar in
general) actually have very little to do with the glycemic index but everything
to do with the large amounts of fructose... and Agave nectar is very high in
fructose.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">BOTTOM LINE: Agave nectar is low in glucose
and therefore doesn't spike blood sugar levels much. This gives the sweetener a
low glycemic index.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span><span style="font-family: arial;">The liver gets overloaded and starts turning
the fructose into fat, which gets shipped out as VLDL particles and raises
blood triglycerides. Many researchers even believe that some of the fat can
lodge in the liver and cause fatty liver disease.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Here's where it gets really interesting...
Agave nectar is about 85% fructose, which is much higher than plain sugar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span><span style="font-family: arial;">Keep in mind that none of this applies to
whole fruit, which are loaded with fiber and make us feel full quickly. We are
well equipped to handle the small amounts of fructose found in fruit.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We put a lot of time, effort, and money into
looking beautiful (or handsome, depending on your gender). Americans fork over
nearly $9 billion annually for creams, scrubs, concealers, and a drawerful of
other cosmetics that claim to keep our skin looking clean, clear, and more
youthful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ironically, the very same products you rely
on to keep your skin looking its best could be doing your pores a big
disservice. Using the wrong makeup or cream could actually accentuate the

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Somehow, the idea that moisturizers are a
no-no for pimple-prone skin started circulating many years back, and now a lot
of people with acne avoid them like the plague. In reality, moisturizers are an
essential part of the acne skin care routine. The acne treatment your
dermatologist prescribed or recommended may contain drying ingredients like
benzoyl peroxide, which can suck the moisture out of your skin and leave it
looking red and irritated. A good moisturizer will keep the water in your skin
and help avoid unsightly drying and peeling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">What to look for : Choose a lightweight,
oil-free moisturizer labeled "non-comedogenic" -- which is just a
fancy way of saying that it won't clog your pores. Also look for ingredients
like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which hold moisture in the skin. What to
avoid? Heavy, greasy products that contain pimple-producing ingredients such as
cocoa butter, mineral oil, or cold cream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There's no need to slather your face in
day-glo green or mud and scare off all the neighborhood kids. Experts say masks
and scrubs do little, if anything, to improve acne. A gentle, non-abrasive
cleanser that's formulated for your skin type (oily, dry, or combination) will
do a lot more to keep your face pimple-free.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Men with acne need to pay attention to their
skin care regimen, too. Shaving can be both a plus and minus for a man's skin.
The plus is that shaving each day acts as a natural exfoliant, opening your
pores so the excess oil can drain out. But if you shave the wrong way or use
the wrong products, you could wind up with more acne. Or, you could get razor
bumps, which aren't acne but look a lot like them. Razor bumps pop up when
newly cut, sharp-ended hairs turn back into the skin and make the skin swell
up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">What to look for: Use a non-irritating,
lubricating shaving gel, or a prescription shaving foam containing benzoyl
peroxide or a topical antibiotic that's designed for men with acne. When you
shave, use a sharp razor so you don't pull on the hair or cut your skin. Shave
downward, in the direction of growth of the hair follicles, to prevent
irritation. After shaving, skip the splash of cologne or alcohol-based
aftershave, which can irritate your skin -- not to mention leave you in agony
if you have any open cuts or recently popped pimples. Use an oil-free
moisturizer or a prescription topical antibiotic lotion or gel instead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">People have been covering up their blemishes
for centuries. In the 1600s, women wore star-and moon-shaped silk patches to
hide their smallpox scars. Today, we use makeup to camouflage our pimples, but
applying layer after layer of cover-up when you have acne isn't necessarily the
best approach. Makeup can be very good at hiding pimples, but it can also
accentuate zits if you use the wrong kind of concealer or slather it on too
thickly. The redness and peeling many acne treatments leave behind can look
even worse when smeared with thick makeup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">What to look for: All of your makeup, from
blush to eye shadow, should be non-greasy, non-comedogenic (or non-acnegenic),
hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and oil-free. Read the ingredients -- the very
first one should be water. Mineral-based cosmetics contain added ingredients
like silica, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide, which both absorb oil and hide
redness without irritating skin and causing pimples. Another ingredient to look
for is dimethicone, which also conceals redness while smoothing out uneven
skin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Pick a makeup color that complements your
skin tone. When applying foundation, a little goes a long way. Use about a
quarter-sized amount, and blend it into your entire face. Allow your foundation
to dry for a few minutes before putting on the rest of your makeup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If you notice that your skin is red, itchy,
or swollen after you apply a certain type of makeup, stop using it. Some
ingredients in cosmetics cause an allergic irritation known as contact
dermatitis in certain people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

People With Acne<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Contrary to popular belief, sunscreen doesn't
cause acne. And while red, sunburned skin might temporarily hide your pimples,
getting burned too many times can also leave you with premature lines and
wrinkles, and increase your risk for skin cancer. You want to protect your skin
when you're outside in the sun without slathering on gobs of greasy sunscreen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">What to look for: Use a broad-spectrum
sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to protect against both UVA and UVB light.
A water-based or light liquid-based gel or spray-on sunscreen is best for
people who tend to get breakouts. You can also look for light lotions and
powder sunscreens. Look for “noncomedogenic” on the label, which means it
should not clog your skin’s pores. Watch out for chemicals such as PABA and
benzophenone, which can irritate sensitive skin. Look for physical sunscreens
that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The simplest definition of vegetarianism is a
diet free of meat, fish, and fowl flesh. But eating habits of vegetarians cover
a wide spectrum. At one end are lacto-ovo vegetarians, who avoid animal flesh
but eat eggs and milk products. At the other end are vegans, who forgo eating
(and often wearing) all animal-based products, including honey. Raw foodists
are vegans who eat mainly raw fruits, vegetables, legumes, sprouts, and nuts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There are also pescatarians, who eat fish and
seafood; and lacto-vegetarians, who eat dairy products but not eggs.
Fruitarians follow a diet that includes fruits, nuts, seeds, and other plant
food. Those who follow a macrobiotic diet eat mostly grains but can also eat
fish. They don't necessarily identify as vegetarians.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Flexitarians refer to vegetarians who

Becoming a Vegetarian<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Many adherents of vegetarianism and veganism
– former Beatle Paul McCartney and actor Alec Baldwin are two celebrities who
happily promote the cause -- regard a flesh-free diet not only as more
healthful, but as a more ethical way to live. They point to the cruel practices
and the high environmental cost of raising animals for food as reasons for
excluding meat from the diet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Most Americans, however, continue to eat some
form of meat or fish. Ten percent of people consider themselves to be
vegetarians, according to a 2013 Gallup poll.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Most doctors and nutritionists agree that a
low-fat diet high in fruits, vegetables, and nuts can be a boon to health.
There’s also research suggesting that reducing or eliminating red meat from the
diet may cut your risk of heart disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Research also has shown that a vegan or vegetarian
diet may lower your risk of getting type 2 diabetes. And a 2011 study found
that vegetarians had lower triglycerides, glucose levels, blood pressure, and
body mass index (BMI).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Vegetarian Lower Cancer Risk?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It’s difficult to say whether being a
vegetarian or a vegan lowers cancer risk. This is mainly because of the
diversity within the vegetarian population.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Many studies of the cancer-vegetarian
relationship conclude that diets rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, isoflavones
(found in soybeans, chickpeas, peanuts, and more), and carotenoids (found in
carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, kale, spinach, tomatoes, red peppers, and
more), seem to protect against disease, including cancer, when part of a
health-conscious lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">An 11-year study in Germany examined colon
cancer among 1,900 vegetarians. Researchers noted fewer deaths from cancers of
the stomach, colon, and lung in study participants than in the general
population -- particularly among those who practiced some form of vegetarianism
for at least 20 years. They suggested, however, that other factors, like body
weight and amount of exercise, likely affected mortality rates in the
vegetarians they studied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A meatless diet can be healthy, but
vegetarians -- especially vegans -- need to make sure they're getting enough
vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and zinc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics warns
of the risk of vitamin B12 deficiencies in vegetarians and vegans. Vitamin B12
is found naturally only in animal products. A lack of vitamin B12 can lead to
anemia and blindness. It can also cause muscle weakness, tingling, and
numbness. To counteract the increased risk, vegans should include B12
supplements, or fortified cereals and veggie burgers. Stay tuned for more
information, but B12 has been found in varying amounts in mushrooms,
particularly in the outer peel, but it's too soon to consider it a food source
of the vitamin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Vegans and ovo-vegetarians, who eat eggs but
not dairy, need to find foods (dark green vegetables, tofu, edamame, soy nuts,
butternut squash, calcium-fortified non-dairy beverages) or supplements that
compensate for the missing calcium from their diets. Absorbable calcium is
critical to protect against osteoporosis, or thinning bones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Diet Safe During Pregnancy?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The nutrition warnings are a bit more urgent
for pregnant and lactating women who are vegan. Having a vitamin B12
deficiency, particularly, has been shown to impair neurological development in
infants nursed by vegetarian mothers. A lack of vitamin D and calcium also can
result in bone demineralization in breastfeeding women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Similarly, children under age 5 who are
reared on vegetarian and vegan diets can suffer impaired growth. That's because
of the potential for a vitamin B12 deficiency, which can also result in anemia
and vitamin D deficiency which can cause rickets. DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid
found mostly in fish, is important for optimal brain development the first 2
years of life. Consult a registered dietitian who can help design a
well-planned diet that can meet all the nutritional needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The U.S. Department of Agriculture offers
dietary guidelines for vegetarians on its web site. The Academy of Nutrition
and Dietetics is another good source for dietary recommendations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Regardless of the kind of meat-free diet
practiced, vegetarians should focus on getting enough protein, iron, calcium,
zinc, vitamin B12, riboflavin, alpha-linolenic acid, and vitamin D.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Here are some ways to incorporate these
nutrients into a vegetarian diet:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Protein: Choose tofu, edamame, tempeh, veggie
burgers with 5 grams of protein or more, beans and other legumes, nuts, nut
butters, eggs, and higher-protein whole grains such as quinoa, amaranth, and
kamut.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Iron: Eggs, fortified breakfast cereals,
soy-based foods, dried prunes, dried apricots, nuts, beans, legumes, and
fortified whole wheat bread are good choices.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Calcium, which builds bone, is plentiful in
cheese, yogurt, milk, edamame, tofu, almonds, sesame tahini, calcium-fortified
orange juice, calcium-fortified non-dairy beverages like soy or almond milk,
and dark green leafy vegetables like collard greens, spinach, and bok choy.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zinc, which boosts the immune system, is
ample in soybeans, soy milk, veggie "meats," eggs, cheese and yogurt,
fortified breakfast cereals, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, lentils, black-eyed peas,
split peas, and wheat germ.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vitamin B12: Soy-based beverages, some
breakfast cereals, and fortified veggie "meats."</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Riboflavin: Almonds, fortified cereals, cow's
milk, yogurt, mushrooms, and soy milk are riboflavin-rich foods.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3): Canola oil,
ground flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, walnuts, walnut oil, soybeans, and tofu are
good choices.</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Anger is a natural, healthy emotion. But
frequent outbursts can be harmful to your health. You could have some emotions
you need to sort through, or there could be a medical reason. A number of
conditions and some medical treatments have rage as a side effect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As this form of dementia progresses, people
tend to lash out in frustration. It can be especially tough on the caregiver to
deal with sudden bouts of fury. Anger is a common symptom, so caregivers should
take a step back and look for the immediate cause, whether it’s physical
discomfort or trouble communicating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Benzodiazepines are widely prescribed for a
number of anxiety conditions such as panic disorder, posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Doctors also may use
them treat insomnia. Fits of anger are a rare but harmful side effect of these
drugs, especially for those with an already aggressive personality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Anger is not unusual for people on the autism
spectrum. The rage can come on suddenly, seemingly from nowhere, and then
vanish just as quickly. Triggers include stress, sensory overload, being
ignored, and a change in routine. A person with autism spectrum disorder may
have trouble communicating, making things even harder. They may not even
realize they are acting out of anger. Part of the solution is becoming more
aware of themselves and situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Statins are widely prescribed to lower
cholesterol. But some studies show that these drugs are connected to aggression
as well. Experts say that low cholesterol also lowers levels of serotonin (your
happiness hormone), which can lead to a short temper and depression.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Irritability often goes along with despair.
Depressed men in particular are more likely to have violent explosions. It’s
often described as “anger turned inward,” but it can be turned outward, too.
This mood disorder is treatable with medication and therapy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">When you're told you have a serious illness
like diabetes, you're likely to have a lot of emotions, including anger. People
might resent having to change their lifestyle. They might also be scared about
how it will affect their future. With diabetes, there is a link between
lower-than-normal blood sugar numbers and flying off the handle. This is
because the hormones used to control your glucose (sugar) levels are the same
ones used to regulate your stress. Keeping your glucose in check will help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">An epileptic seizure is an electrical
disturbance in the brain. It can cause uncontrollable shaking and even loss of
consciousness. That can be scary and confusing for someone. It's rare, but
sometimes people lash out right after having a seizure. People with epilepsy
are also more likely to feel self-conscious, depressed, and anxious. Sometimes
anti-seizure medicines can cause behavior changes or outbursts, particularly in
kids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Chinese medicine ties chronic anger with poor
liver function. Left untreated, inflammation, the early stages of diseases like
cirrhosis and hepatitis, can damage the liver. When this organ fails, it stops
removing toxic substances from the body. The buildup of poisons can lead to
hepatic encephalopathy, a brain disorder that causes personality changes and
loss of control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Some men might joke about it, but the
agitation felt during a woman’s period is real. With premenstrual dysphoric
disorder (PMDD), a more intense but less frequent form of PMS, anger can be
extreme. Levels of estrogen and progesterone (hormones) fall the week before a
woman's period. This in turn can affect her serotonin levels. The drop in
hormones is also the reason for the moodiness associated with menopause.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A stroke can physically damage the brain. And
if it strikes the area responsible for emotions, this can lead to changes in
behavior like a rise in irritability. This new shift is typical after such a
life-changing scare.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland
produces too much thyroid hormone. This hormone has a direct effect on a
person’s mood, linking the condition with a rise in tension and anxiety. It's
treated with medication.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This rare genetic defect causes a buildup of
copper in the liver or brain. If the disease attacks the frontal lobe of the
brain, which is tied to personality, it can cause aggravation and fury.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Scientists with the National Toxicology

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As cellphone use climbs, questions about the
safety of these common devices have lingered. About 80% of Americans over the
age of 13 have a smartphone, and adults spend an average of nearly 3 hours a
day using one, according to a 2017 report from comScore, a data review company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The tumors that showed up in the rats are
called schwannomas. They grew in the hearts of male rats, but not female rats,
perhaps because the males’ larger bodies absorbed more radiation than the
females, said lead researcher John Bucher, PhD. He is a senior scientist with
the National Toxicology Program.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Even though the tumors were in the rats’
hearts, the scientists said the finding was intriguing because previous studies
have noted a higher chance of having schwannomas in the inner ears of heavy
cellphone users.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In humans, schwannomas are incredibly rare
and usually benign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">They were rare in the rats, too. Only 6% of
the animals in the most highly exposed group got them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The studies also found other biological
effects. Pups born to exposed rats weighed less than those born to unexposed
animals, for example; and they saw evidence of DNA damage in some tissues in
some animals, though Bucher said he and his team didn’t fully understand the
significance of those results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In a surprise finding, radiation exposure
appeared to have some positive effects. Male rats that were exposed lived
longer than those that weren't. Researchers think that may be because the
radiation prevented a kidney disease that’s common in these kinds of rats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It’s well-known that ionizing radiation --
the kind produced by X-rays and atomic bombs -- can cause harm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">But scientists haven’t understood whether
much weaker non-ionizing radiation -- the kind given off by cellphones and
microwaves -- could cause any damage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Even the largest and best studies in humans
have had important limits that made it difficult to know for sure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For the study, more than 3,000 male and
female rats and mice were housed in specially designed chambers where they
could be blasted with the same kinds of radiation that are emitted by mobile
phones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The animals were exposed to the radiation
before birth and for as long as 2 years afterward. A 2-year-old rat is about
the same biological age as a 70-year-old human.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Bucher called the studies “some of the most
comprehensive and technically challenging” that the agency has ever tried.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The researchers tested the same kinds of
radiofrequency waves used in 2G and 3G wireless networks. In 4G networks, these
are the same kinds of waves used to make voice calls and send texts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The doses they tested were higher than the
amount people are exposed to during a typical phone call.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Researchers said they tested these extreme
doses to try to find out if the radiation could cause any biological effects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">They chose the highest doses of radiation
they could expose the animals to without dangerously increasing their body
temperatures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In the end, Bucher said that they did see
some biological effects from the radiation, but they still don’t really
understand the importance of everything they found.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The studies will be reviewed by scientific
experts in March.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Federal agencies like the FDA will then meet
to talk about the studies and what they might mean for people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Bucher told reporters he hasn’t changed his
cellphone habits based on the study findings, nor has he tried to change his
children’s cellphone habits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“I think everybody would classify
radiofrequency radiation as a weak carcinogen, if in fact, it is a carcinogen,”
he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The FDA also weighed in, saying the findings
gave it further confidence that cellphones were safe to use.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“Even with frequent daily use by the vast
majority of adults, we have not seen an increase in events like brain tumors.
Based on this current information, we believe the current safety limits for
cellphones are acceptable for protecting the public health,” said Jeffrey
Shuren, MD, JD, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological
Health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Still, other experts say these new findings,
taken together with previous research, point to a need for caution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“There have been a number of studies that
have consistently shown damage to DNA from cellphone radiation,” says Devra
Davis, PhD. “Animal testing is done to predict effects in humans.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Davis is a toxicologist who once reviewed
studies for the National Toxicology Program. She now runs the nonprofit
Environmental Health Trust in Teton County, WY, which works to educate people
about the risks of using cellphones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">She says the fact that the radiation from
cellphones can change DNA means that they should be handled with care.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“Distance is your friend with cellphones.
Even a short distance away gives you substantially less exposure,” she says.
Using the phone with a headset or on speaker is safer, she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Davis tells people if they’re going to carry
their cellphone next to their body, put it in airplane mode, which drops the
radiation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Parents need to be especially cautious
letting kids play with their phone. Kids’ growing tissues are more vulnerable
to damage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“We have to stop thinking of these things as
toys and playthings for kids,” she says. “These are bad ideas.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Lastly, she says the most dangerous time to
use a phone is when the signal is weak. Phones are smart, so they’ll boost
their energy output to try to connect to a base tower.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“Only use it for a true emergency when the
signal is weak,” she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Faulty memory happens to us all. You can't
find your car keys -- again. You meet someone at a party, and 5 minutes later
you forget her name. You leave the grocery store and have no idea where your
car is parked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Relax. No one has a perfect memory, and it's
OK to have some lapses, even if you're still young.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Things you learned only recently -- like a
name at a party -- are the hardest to remember, because they haven’t yet taken
root in your mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Also, your brain has only so much storage space.
It needs to make room for new, useful items. And to do that, it has to get rid
of less important details, as well as those that you don't call on often.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It’s also common to forget where you put
something or an appointment that was on your schedule. Most of the time that
happens because you weren’t paying close attention in the first place. Maybe
you were focused on not spilling your glass of wine instead of learning that
new person’s name, or you might have been thinking about your grocery list
instead of where you left your car. You also tend to forget things when you're
tired, sick, or stressed out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Lifestyle and Memory<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Lifestyle affects memory. For example, your
diet plays a role. If your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood
sugar are too high, the blood vessels in and around your brain can
get clogged or damaged. A Harvard study showed that people who eat more saturated
fat (found in meat and dairy products) do worse on memory tests than those
who eat less. If you're trying to make better food choices, consider the Mediterranean
diet. This way of eating -- which features omega-3-rich fish, heart-healthy
olive oil, and plenty of fresh produce -- has been linked with protecting
thinking and memory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Guess what else is just as good for your
memory as for the rest of your body? Regular exercise. It promotes blood flow
to the brain. You should be getting 30 minutes each day. And you need
regular sleep, which helps your brain file memories so you can access them
later on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If you smoke, stop. It damages blood vessels.
If you’re a heavy drinker, lighten your intake. Research shows heavy drinking
will mess with your memory. Moderate drinking (no more than 1 drink per day for
women or 2 for men), though, might actually protect it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Memory slips do seem to get worse through the
years. You slowly start losing brain cells beginning in your 20s, and certain
chemicals that these cells need also decline. It makes sense that your memory
is sharper at 25 than at 55 or 75.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Major memory changes don't always
signal Alzheimer's disease. They can be caused by strokes, head
injuries, lack of vitamins in your diet, or sleep trouble. They
might even be a side effect of one of the drugs you’re taking. When in doubt,
see a doctor to sort it out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There are red flags that might reveal a more
serious problem. If your slipups happen often (you forget where you parked
every day) or get in the way of daily life (you can’t balance a checkbook or
you don't remember where you live), see a doctor. Get checked out if your
family or friends tell you that you weren’t sure who someone was -- and it was
a person you know well, such as a close friend or relative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And if you live with someone whose
personality has changed or seems confused -- he's not sure where he is or what
year it is -- get him to a doctor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It's becoming more popular to eat meat-free
at least part of the time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">While more than 3% of Americans are
full-time vegetarians, a recent poll by the Vegetarian Resource Group
found that 37% of respondents say they always or sometimes eat vegetarian meals
when dining out. The top reason? Health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Although vegetarian eating does have a
stellar health reputation, recent news has focused on what could be bad
about vegetarian diets and more stringent vegan plans, including
reports of hair loss and depression.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So, are there downsides to these supposedly
healthy eating patterns?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">"For generally healthy people, I don't
see any reason that eating a vegetarian diet is risky to health," says Qi
Sun, MD, assistant professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of
Public Health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">However, Sun’s recent research and that of
others strongly suggest that the quality of plant-based food matters when it
comes to health benefits. As in: vegetables, yes; french fries, no.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A vegetarian diet excludes meat, fish, and
poultry always, according to the definition used by the Vegetarian Resource
Group. A vegan plan also doesn't allow dairy products such as milk, eggs,
cheese, as well as animal-based products like gelatin, and followers do not use
other animal products including honey, wool, silk, and leather.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">There <i>are </i>potential pitfalls
to meatless eating, Sun says, but nutrition education and using supplements
when needed can help people overcome them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So can giving up meat lead to hair loss? A
recent report found that severe lack of protein, among other diet shortcomings,
can lead to it. That’s because meat contains iron, vitamin B, and zinc, which
are all important for hair growth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">While iron is found in foods like dried beans
and dark green, leafy vegetables, it’s harder to absorb iron from a pure
vegetarian diet, Sun says. However, it is easy to take supplements, he says.
Vegetarians and vegans must take special care to get enough iron. Supplements should
be needed only if they don’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Zinc is found in grains, legumes, and nuts.
B12 is in dairy products, eggs, and fortified soy milk and cereals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Liz Weinandy, a registered dietitian at The
Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, gives nutritional advice
to people on a variety of eating plans<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">She tells vegetarians and vegans that protein
deficiency can be a hazard, especially for vegans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But in real life, "I have not had anyone
complain about hair loss on a vegetarian diet," Weinandy says. “It has to
be a protein deficiency going on for a while [to lead to hair loss]."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Vegetarians and vegans can get enough protein
by eating a varied diet with enough calories. For vegans, good protein sources
include soy, quinoa, whole wheat bread, broccoli, peanut butter, beans, kale,
lentils, and almonds. Vegetarians can eat eggs a few times a week, or Greek
yogurt and can be fine, Weinandy says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">People who eat no meat should know about the
risk of low iron, vitamin B, and zinc levels, and be on the alert for symptoms
that may point to a lack of those, Sun says. "The typical zinc deficiency
symptoms include loss of appetite, hair loss, diarrhea, eye and skin lesions,
weight loss, delayed healing of wounds, and taste abnormalities," he says.
But these symptoms may also point to other health issues, he says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Iron deficiency can cause fatigue, dizziness,
lightheadedness, a fast heart rate, or palpitations, he says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A range of symptoms may point to low levels
of the various forms of B vitamins. Fatigue and loss of balance, for instance,
could mean a B12 deficiency, Sun says. If you are concerned you may be
deficient, he says, ask your doctor about getting blood tests to check your
levels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Can vegetarian and vegan diets sour your
mood? Research on this is mixed, with some research finding going meatless
improves mood and other studies finding the opposite. In one study of 400 new
mothers, 80 reported postpartum depression. A vegetarian diet was one thing
that seemed to make it more likely to be depressed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In another study, researchers compared
vegetarians, vegans, and people who eat both plants and animals, and found the
vegans had lower anxiety and stress levels than the meat eaters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Other researchers looked at mental health
problems in vegetarians and concluded they are more likely to have them, but on
average, the mental problems were there before the people started eating a
vegetarian diet. And they emphasize they found no cause-and-effect link. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

are up to 2 times less likely to have type 2 diabetes than non-vegetarians.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In studies comparing vegetarian and
non-vegetarian diets, those on the vegetarian plans had better blood sugar
levels and more weight loss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sun and his colleagues found that a diet that
emphasized plant foods and was low in animal foods was linked with about a 20%
lower chance of getting diabetes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">However, when they looked more closely, they
found that diets that emphasized healthy plant foods cut the chance of having
diabetes by 34%, while diets with less healthy plant foods actually raised the
risk of diabetes by 16%.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Healthy plant foods include whole grains,
fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, vegetable oils, and tea and coffee. Less
healthy: fruit juices, sweetened beverages, refined grains, pasta, potatoes,
sweets, and desserts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">While people often view vegan or vegetarian
diets as automatically healthy, that's not so, Sun says. He cautions people not
to become junk food vegetarians.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">"If you eat a vegan diet, but eat a lot
of french fries, refined carbs like white bread, white rice," he says,
that's not healthy. Besides avoiding those foods, he suggests ''emphasizing
fruits and vegetables. Not fruit juice but whole food. And nuts."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A meatless plan isn't palatable to everyone,
Ohio State’s Weinandy says. She encourages people to borrow the benefits of
vegan and vegetarian eating, such as eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and
whole grains, to get some health benefits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

more healthy plant foods, while not cutting out meat, still has benefits for
heart health and for avoiding diabetes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Snoring, for instance, is common and often
harmless. But it can be due to obstructive sleep apnea, which causes
people to stop breathing briefly during sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">You can help quiet the noise. Since many
people snore the most when they lay on their backs, gently nudge your partner
to roll onto his side and prop a pillow behind him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Handy with a needle and thread? You could try
another fix. Sew a small pocket of cloth onto the back of a pajama top or
T-shirt. Put a small ping pong ball in the pocket, and sew it shut. Because the
ball won't be comfortable, your partner will want to sleep on their side, which
usually means less snoring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Has a doctor prescribed a CPAP (continuous
positive air pressure) machine? Encourage your mate to use it. If the CPAP machine's
noise keeps you up, consider moving the base unit somewhere else in the room.
You can also use a white noise machine or wear earplugs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Burnout has become one of the buzzwords for
the 21<sup>st</sup> century. People from all walks of life are talking
about burnout and its impact. Those who experience burnout report a loss of
enthusiasm, feelings of pessimism, and a low sense of personal accomplishment.
These feelings can show up in a work or home environment, or both.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Research tells us that burnout negatively
impacts both mental and physical health – and that the problem is widespread. A
2007 study from the American Psychological Association revealed that 75% of
Americans suffer from stress-related symptoms, both physical and psychological,
in any given month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you’re not sure but concerned, take a
moment and, using the PAINT acronym, think about your level of stress at home,
work, school, and social settings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you believe you are burned out, you may
want to seek professional help. See your family healthcare provider or a mental
health specialist if any of the PAINT symptoms have been present for more than
two weeks and if the symptoms have impaired your ability to function normally.
No matter what, you should evaluate your level of self-care: how well are you
taking care of yourself and your personal needs? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don’t be too hard on yourself if you feel
your self-care routine is lacking. Most of us leave plenty of room for
improvement in this department. If you have no idea how to improve your
self-care practices, start by focusing on these main areas: exercise,
mindfulness, sleep, socialization, and nutrition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be careful not to pick and choose from this
list – do your best to implement <i>all five</i> of these wellness
practices to improve your wellness and decrease your level of stress. Keep
PAINT in mind when you feel stressed and put your wellness practices into
action.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Every day, and throughout our lives, we ask for our memory:
conversations, intellectual work, and preparation for exams ... Memory is the
key to learning since it allows the recording, storage and retrieval of
information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But with the aging of the population, more and more people
are prone to memory problems. This phenomenon affects more than 850 000 people
with 200 000 new cases per year *. The causes are multiple: age, heredity,
unbalanced diet, lack of cognitive stimulation...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The memory is a function to maintain daily to preserve and
optimize its performance. There are some tricks to increase memory capacities
(memorization capabilities):<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A good sleep: essential to the preservation of cognitive
abilities, sleep is essential to strengthen and consolidate memory.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Regular sport practice: good memorization is directly
linked to good oxygenation of the brain. To optimize memory abilities, it is
essential to practice a sport activity that stimulates the brain, attention and
neuronal communication.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A biological rhythm respected: certain moments of the day
are more conducive to learning and concentration. The middle of the morning and
the middle of the afternoon are periods of quality for the process of
memorization.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A healthy and diversified diet: the brain consumes about
20% of the energy provided by the diet. A major consumer of glucose, fatty
acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, it needs a varied and balanced
supply to support its cognitive functions. Consumption of fruits, vegetables,
cereals and fish is preferred.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Targeted supplementation: Any impairment can impair the
functioning of the nervous system. Targeted supplementation is recommended to
help maintain brain function, promote deep, restorative sleep, and cope with
the stress experienced during exam periods.</span></li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Revisions are often characterized by an active effort of
repetition of information. This mental work would transfer knowledge from
short-term memory to long-term memory, for more sustainable storage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Nevertheless,
the consolidation of knowledge seems to be easier and more lasting when the
memory is associated with knowledge previously acquired; making it meaningful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Attention: the degree of concentration</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The emotional state: the affective values attributed to the
material to be memorized</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Motivation: the interest or the need to memorize</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The context: lighting, noise, smell, place...</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Learning is defined as a process involving change. Indeed,
during learning, physiological transformations occur in the brain, under the
effect of knowledge and experiences. These transformations are at the root of
the mental aptitudes of learning, memorization and knowledge. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Thus, the more synapses (connections between neurons) are
activated, the more efficient they are to transmit and process information; and
conversely, the less they are used, the less efficient they are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Memory, on the other hand, allows the recording, storage
and retrieval of information captured by the brain. Memory is in a sense the
trace of learning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The memorization process is divided into 4 phases:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sensory memory: it corresponds to the phase during which
the brain analyzes the information captured by the 5 senses (sight, smell,
hearing, touch, taste).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Short-term memory: arising from the sensory memory, it
allows to temporarily record the information of the current life.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Long-term memory: allows you to group and store the
information you have learned.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recall of information: this phase corresponds to the
restitution and the re-use of the stored information.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The vitamins are very fragile cooking, conservation but
also refining methods. At the same time, the current lifestyles (stress,
pollution, contraception ...) increase your daily needs. Thus, it is preferable
to privilege simple and gentle cooking techniques to protect these
micronutrients.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Optimize your vitamin intake thanks to steam cooking:
simple, easy to use, it allows you to preserve the vitamin qualities of your
food and to keep all their flavor. Think of fish (salmon, flounder, turbot

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Wok cooking is an ancestral Asian culinary technique
perfectly adapted to the way of life of our Western societies. With its unique
flared design, it allows you to cook food evenly, retaining their flavors,
colors and mineral-vitamin qualities. Steam, stir-fry or wrap, the wok is the
ideal ally of your well-being.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The longer a food is stored and the greater the loss of
vitamins at the time of consumption. Also, as soon as the fruits or vegetables
are cut, begins the destruction of vitamins and minerals, especially for
vitamin C and the vitamins of group B. In order to limit losses, keep your food
fresh in cool, Dry and consume as soon as possible after harvest. Focus on
seasonal fruits and vegetables for their exceptional micronutrients.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The consumption of alcohol decreases the absorption of
vitamins, especially those of group B.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Smoking increases the need for vitamins, especially vitamin
C, whose degradation is accelerated by nicotine derivatives.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The use of birth control pills increases the need for
vitamin B9.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pregnancy increases the need for vitamins, micronutrients
essential for the pregnant woman but also for the good development of the
fetus.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Breastfeeding also increases the need for vitamins because
some of the mother's vitamins are passed on to the baby via breast milk.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Insufficient sunshine: people living in sunny regions (30%
of French people living in northern France are concerned) and the elderly
people who leave very little often have vitamin D deficiencies.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pollution: the need for vitamins, especially vitamin A, is
increased by environmental pollution.</span></li>

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Physical fatigue</span></b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">: it is muscular and appears after a physical

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The oxidative stress is a phenomenon of oxidation can
damage cell membranes, curb their renewal and cause many inconveniences such as
accelerated aging or fatigue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">True shields, antioxidants are a natural defense system
that protects our cells and reduces oxidative stress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">FILL UP WITH ANTIOXIDANTS!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">To cope with decreased tone, it is important to rebalance
your diet and eat more fruits and vegetables because they contain many
antioxidants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A supplement is often needed to fill up with antioxidants!
Some active ingredients have major antioxidant properties. We can thus cite
superfruits like aronia. The latter possess ORAC (oxygenate radical
neutralization) values among the highest in the plant kingdom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sport can be a great asset in reducing mental or nervous fatigue,
helping to alleviate mood disorders and stress. If it allows the mind to
disconnect from the problems and tensions encountered in our daily life, the
practice of physical activity is also at the origin of chemical reactions
beneficial to the organism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">During physical exertion, but also up to an hour later, the
body secretes two neurotransmitters that have a beneficial effect on fatigue:
endorphin and serotonin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Nicknamed the hormones of happiness, they have a real
positive influence on the mood and stress that can disturb our sleep. If
endorphin is known to provide a sense of well-being and calm, or even euphoria,
serotonin, as such, acts as a regulator of mood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Especially if you do not practice sports regularly, it is
important to start progressively so as not to get hurt or discouraged. Even in
small doses initially, recovery from physical activity will be beneficial. A
regular practice, even without force will have an energizing effect. This will
allow you to turn intellectual or nervous fatigue into physical fatigue, which
sleep can more easily dissipate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The goal is to find your rhythm, without forcing, that you
can intensify as soon as you feel capable. The ideal is to be able to give 3 to
4 sessions of 30-40 minutes of sport per week, the benefits of your session
extending up to 48 hours. Beware, however, of not practicing too intense
physical activity less than 3 hours before going to bed, which would disrupt
sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It is important to choose a physical activity that will
suit your physical condition, your health and your availability over the long
term. If your state of health or fitness does not allow you an intense physical
activity, brisk walking can be an excellent compromise. 30 minutes of walking
per day at a steady pace help to stay in shape and to compensate for the
decreases in energy by increasing the supply of oxygen to your cells.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">When possible, focus on endurance sports such as running,
walking, swimming ... The duration of the sessions is optimal for the release
of endorphins, hormones that will accompany you towards a return to calm and to
relaxation. True allies of your well-being, relaxing practices such as Yoga,
Pilates, meditation ... can help you regain a state of serenity, thanks in
particular to the exercises of relaxation and breathing that you can integrate
into your daily life As soon as the stress is felt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The recovery phase is essential in order not to increase

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Pregnancy too often remains a period when the woman
diminishes her sporting practice. Yet the sport is beneficial for the pregnant
woman provided to respect some basic rules.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

PREGNANCY?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Physical exercise in pregnant women promotes good physical
condition and limits excessive weight gain due to sedentary lifestyle. Less
than 25% of pregnant women follow the recommendations of physical activity that
are 30 minutes walking briskly, day <sup>1</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sport is also beneficial for maintaining a good
psychological state and limiting potential stress associated with pregnancy,
through the release of endorphins by the brain during and after physical
activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Women who practiced regular physical activity during
pregnancy, and who continued in the third quarter would be less tired and more
energetic clearly from the 4<sup>th</sup> or 5<sup>th</sup> day after delivery <sup>2</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A medical assessment is first necessary before physical
activity to verify that there are no contraindications. This medical opinion
can be re-evaluated according to the follow-up of the pregnancy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">During these 9 months, the body is transformed, so it is
necessary to adapt to these changes during a physical exercise. The weight
evolution is accompanied by an enhancement of the center of gravity, thus
modifying the equilibrium of the body. The heart rate increases and breathing
is modified by intra-abdominal pressure, which contributes to the increase in
oxygen consumption.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We also note for all the joints, the appearance of a
ligament hyperlaxity whose origin seems to be hormonal and which can represent
a new instability for the pregnant woman.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The spirit of competition is to be set aside! The goal is
to maintain good physical fitness by practicing a reasoned physical activity,
without seeking the maximum effort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The choice of physical activity must be compatible with

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It is not advisable to practice contact sports such as
basketball, handball, or volleyball; Combat sports, such as karate, judo;
Sports that involve a risk of falling such as riding, snow sports, mountain
biking, climbing, etc. Underwater diving (with bottle) is also contraindicated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Walking: it remains by far the most practiced activity,
accessible to all including the less sporty ones.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Swimming: it makes it possible to work smoothly all the
great muscular chains. In the water, the body is lighter and the movements are
easier. All swims are allowed provided they do not force. Swimming on the back
is particularly interesting because it relieves the spine. Finally, do not
hesitate to adopt boards and chips as accessories!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Soft gymnastics or yoga: these activities can be practiced
with respiratory and postural exercises adapted to pregnancy. The exercises
lying down, however, are to be avoided from the 4<sup>th</sup> month.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The exercise bike: it is possible to practice the exercise
bike without intense effort, i.e. without significant shortness of breath (i.e.
60-70% of the maximum heart rate).</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">These activities are possible up to and including the third
quarter but should not be considered for performance intent. In addition, you
must know how to listen to your body, and do not hesitate to consult your
healthcare professional if you are uncertain about your physical condition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Most physiological and morphological changes induced by
pregnancy persist until 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. Post-natal visit is
essential to get your doctor's recommendations. A rehabilitation of the
perineum is often necessary to restore all its tonicity to this zone muscular
perturbed by the delivery. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">You will then be able to take up the sport in a progressive
way, favoring moderate activities (yoga, gymnastics, swimming, cycling, walking
...).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Moderate physical exercise during breastfeeding does not
affect the amount or composition of breast milk. To avoid unpleasant problems
caused by breast engorgement, it is recommended to schedule feedings or breast
milk before exercise. Do not forget to hydrate yourself!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Breastfeeding is the most natural way to feed the newborn
and its benefits are multiple: nutritional, physiological and emotional,
creating a strong and unique relationship between mother and baby. Breast milk
is the ideal food for the baby because it is specifically adapted to it. It is
alive and inimitable: its composition evolves over time to adapt and precisely
cover the nutritional needs of the infant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">As in pregnancy, breastfeeding is accompanied by an
increase in the need for certain nutrients that she does not find in her usual
diet in sufficient quantity: vitamins, minerals, omega 3...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It is therefore advisable for lactating women to supplement
their diet by providing a suitable nutritional and micronutrient source in
order to optimize breastfeeding as their needs change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The arrival of a baby in the life of a woman is something
magical but for all that is a real upheaval! Fatigue, cries, tears, anxieties,
interrupted nights ... it is sometimes difficult to keep up the morale and stay
in shape! Supplementation with certain nutrients is recommended to deal with

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The body of the future mother lives a true metamorphosis
for 9 months. Physical and physiological changes are considerable and also
require appropriate and balanced intake of nutrients and energy. Therefore,
micronutritional support is advised to pregnant women to contribute to their
health and that of their baby.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Although needs increase by only 10% during pregnancy,
magnesium is important for both the baby and the mother. The organism does not
produce magnesium, so it is through diet and / or supplementation that the body
constitutes its reserves. It helps in particular the fixation of the calcium on
the bones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Iron requirements are increased due to increased total
blood volume, placenta and fetal needs (mainly for brain development) and loss
of blood at delivery. A lack of iron can cause fatigue and fatigue in the
mother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Despite an iron-rich diet, the needs are so great that the
stock is rapidly depleted, especially during the last 2 quarters. Since the
body is unable to synthesize iron, complementation may be beneficial.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Pregnancy is a major consumer of iodine. Indeed, a deficit

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The need for vitamin D are doubled during pregnancy. In
order to optimize the absorption of calcium, vitamin D contributes to better
mineralization of the fetal skeleton and thus to the strength of the bones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The vitamin C helps to limit fatigue, participates in the
functioning of the immune system. Vitamin C also intervenes in the formation of
nervous tissues and promotes the absorption of iron. The body cannot store
large amounts of vitamin C, only a daily intake can have the desired effect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">These vitamins are particularly important but do not forget
the other vitamins (A in the form of beta-carotene, B1, B5, B6 etc.). Taking a
quality multivitamin supplement can help you have the right balance of vitamins
throughout your pregnancy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The Omega-3 are polyunsaturated fatty acids which the most
important are DHA <sup>1</sup> and EPA <sup>2</sup>. These "good
fats" contribute both to the health of the pregnant woman and to that of
the fetus. DHA, for example, has a favorable effect on the brain of the baby <sup>3</sup>
but also on the development of its visual acuity <sup>4</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A supplement in omega 3 can be interesting during
pregnancy, making sure to stop in the last trimester!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Throughout pregnancy, it is advisable for mothers to give
priority to antioxidants, for her but also for their baby (vitamins E, C, A in
the form of beta-carotene, carotenoids or even certain polyphenols).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The intestine of the fetus in the uterus is sterile. Within
hours of its birth, its intestine is colonized by bacteria. Indeed, during the
delivery by low way the mother transmits her flora to her infant. Moreover,
this flora depends on the baby's diet, but also on the mother's flora.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This is why it is important that the mother has a healthy
and balanced intestinal flora. The taking of lactic ferments during pregnancy,
and especially before delivery, can have a beneficial effect on the intestinal
flora of the mother as well as on the development of the intestinal flora of
the child.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Water is the first exchange between you and the child. One
of the most important changes in pregnant women is the increase in the water
supply. Thus, fruits and vegetables are allies of choice for good hydration, in
addition to the drinking water at the rate of 1.5 to 2 liters per day. In
addition, fruits and vegetables facilitate the elimination of metabolic waste
from the fetus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
