			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is small bowel cancer and what causes it? Your bowel is that section of your intestine that connects to the anus, and is important to the excretion process. Now, can you think that if this bowel is so important, what are the chances that cancer will develop in the bowel? Actually, it has become quite common. The small bowel is a long &#8216;tube&#8217; that takes up nutrients and water from foods as well as constructs waste materials into feces. This is all done by the workings of the 3 divisions of the small bowel, particularly the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. Hence, it is considered to not only be a vital part of the excretion system, but also of the digestive system. In addition, it provides a link for the stomach and the large intestine, more commonly known as the colon.<span id="more-1590"></span></p>
<p>Even though this &#8217;small&#8217; bowel might seem simple in character, it is literally 15 feet, taking up three quarters of a person&#8217;s digestive system! Imagine having cancer in 3/4s of your digestive system! It is truly something to not mistake as a simple curable process. In fact, it can be treated with early detection through a colonoscopy and treatment such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. This must be applied especially in cases where genetics play a role, having a family line with numerous occurrences of small bowel cancer. Moreover, cancers of the colon or rectum can also bring about conditions that will cause cancer of the small bowel or simply, spread to this area due to their inter-relationship and close proximity. For instance, family type adenomatous polyposis (FAP) which comprises 1% of cancers to the colon and rectum causes the extensive augmentation of polyps throughout the bowel seen in one&#8217;s adolescent years, increasing rapidly as cancerous.</p>
<p>To be exact, small bowel cancer is a disease in which the cells of the small bowel or small intestine begin to grow abnormally at a rapid pace forming a tumor. This tumor can either be non-cancerous or cancerous and usually requires early detection for doctors to halt the growth from non-cancerous to cancerous. Risk factors in getting small bowel cancer encompass inherited and ecological aspects. Specific reasons as to why a person develops such an ailment is not completely understood by doctors and researchers. Research on small intestine cancers is currently being undertaken to discover the causes, which will help with better treatment.</p>
<p>Furthermore, many classify this cancer as rectal, colorectal and colon cancer due to the proximity in which the disease spreads from either the small to large intestine or vice versa. Notably, if this cancer is allowed to spread beyond the walls of the bowel, it becomes much harder to curtail.</p>
<p>Lastly, we have seen this sickness in more than 3400 Europeans and even 12,500 Australians per annum, plus many more in other Western countries. Although it has the tendency to affect those over the age of 50 years, genetics can cause occurrences in teenagers. Hence if you know someone open to these risks whether with a history of it running in their families or over the age of 50 years, encourage them to take a screening test today to prevent any possible occurrences!</p>
<p>If you or a loved one have colon cancer, be sure to read my articles on <a href="http://www.coloncancersurgery.org/laparoscopic-colon-cancer-surgery/" target="_blank">laparoscopic colon cancer surgery</a> and pain after colon surgery.</p>

<p>If you didn&#8217;t know what arthritis was or how much pain it can cause to an individual, you are lucky! Because unlike other diseases that plague the human anatomy, arthritis pain relief can be a real tough nut to crack &#8211; and most people usually have to live with this issue for the whole of their life.</p>
<p><span id="more-44260"></span></p>
<p>While it is usually the high uric acid or similar issues that force one to reconcile with the pain that gout and related issues cause, pain relief questions are very common even in online forums and medical journals. However, the most common question is about diets that help in arthritis pain relief.</p>
<p>And while we are on that topic, we should also concentrate on the herbal pain relief factor that works so well with such patients. Most ailments have herbal solutions, but pain in the ankles and hands can take a long time to cure. Patience is a virtue for most such suffering individuals, and if you don&#8217;t have it, you would be in for a lot of trouble later on.</p>
<p>However, we are digressing too much here. Back to the topics of what foods should an arthritis affected person eat? Well, here are some answers -</p>
<p><strong>• Vegetables -</strong> The best solution to access arthritis pain relief solutions is by having ample amounts of green leafy vegetables on the diet rather than ham or red meat. The whole concept that one needs to eat meat regularly to stay strong and similar arguments does not hold much water now. Green leafy vegetables have a lot of minerals- which essentially stem the rot that has got into the bones of a gout victim. They also help you keep healthy and keep you fit, another reason why you should have at least five helpings of veggies every day.</p>
<p><strong>• Fruits -</strong> Akin to vegetables, one should also have fruits, especially the ones that have water as their main constituents. Fruits like apples, mangoes, pineapples etc can help you cope with arthritis pain relief solutions without burning a hole through your pocket. In fact, most of the physicians prescribe fruits and vegetables as the mainstay of one&#8217;s diet- both in lunch as well as in dinner.</p>
<p><strong>• Wild/Black Cherries -</strong> Wild or black cherries (please note the color, red cherries are far less effective than the said ones) also help one find arthritis pain relief from a budget diet. However, sourcing these berries from retailers is another issue altogether, as you never know the bargain is for organic berries or not.</p>

//-->
<p>The best herbal pain relief for such pain in the ankles, feet or joints is with the help of online solutions available at large on the Internet. Some of them contain Reishi (Ganoderma), which is a potential powerhouse for treating such pain relief questions without having to ask you for a fortune in exchange.</p>
<p>Although the market is still open to scams and frauds, some of these portals are genuine and a little bit of digging around for testimonials and certification can help you a lot. Once you have tracked down a couple of genuine suppliers, compare prices and there you have it &#8211; arthritis pain relief at a budget price!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most common forms of non-melanoma skin cancer are basal cell and squamous cell affecting more than one million people per year. The good news is they can be easily removed with various outpatient procedures. Melanoma is a much more serious problem affecting fewer proplr, however, it can spread to other organs and appear anywhere on the body, not just those parts exposed to the sun.</p>
<p>Your risk is higher is you are Caucasian, older than 20 years of age, have fair skin, light-colored eyes, freckles or sunburn easily. New research is showing that women who are taking Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) are twice as likely to develop melanoma. Other risks include a history of using tanning beds, family history, a weakened immune system, fragile skin and frequent exposure to industrial chemicals.</p>
<p>What can you do? Eat foods that fight skin cancer.</p>
<p>1. Eat cooked tomatoes, lots of color fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, fatty fish like samon and dark chocolate. These foods contain antioxidants and give your skin a protective edge.<span id="more-2326"></span></p>
<p>2. Take a fish oil supplement daily &#8211; 1,000 mg. of Omega 3&#8217;s which are essential fatty acids and help protect your skin.</p>
<p>3. Keep your blood sugar levels normal by avoiding white bread, white rice, and highly processed foods including refined sugar products. There is a link between high blood sugar and an increased risk of malignant melanoma.</p>
<p>4. Reduce your intake of saturated fats like butter, cheese and red meats. Instead use olive oil, low-fat cheeses and choose fish or chicken instead of red meat.</p>
<p>5. Are you taking Vitamin D3? The sunshine Vitamin? Women need between 200-1,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily which can help prevent the development and spread of cancers. You can take a supplement or eat salmon, tuna and look for fortified drinks. The easiest thing to do is to take a Vitamin D3 supplement daily to make sure you are getting enough of this very important, often underrated vitamin.</p>
<p>Finally, make a point of exercising every single day. Our bodies are meant to move and exercise will help build your immune system, reduce inflammation throughout your body and encourage problem cells to self-destruct. People who are obese are at a higher risk for all types of cancer so make exercise a priority in your life.</p>

<p>Millions of men and women are affected by arthritis, and although the illness cannot be cured there are remedies that will provide pain relief. If one is experiencing basilar joint arthritis symptoms or any other symptoms it is important to first see a hand specialist in order to get the proper diagnoses and from there the doctor can help to find the most helpful pain relief method suitable for ones condition. Arthritis is very painful and several patients find relief in different methods.</p>
<p><span id="more-44227"></span></p>
<p>Hand specialists generally first prescribe for pain relief. A splint restricts movement in the hand ultimately making the individual use their hand less and let it slowly repair. Arthritis is caused by repetitive movement and in some cases caused by an accident that complete changes the hand and impairs the function. If the splint does not provide pain relief others methods such as pain killers are provided for Basilar joint arthritis and other arthritis conditions.</p>
<p>Hand surgery Los Angeles is only done when all other pain relief methods have been exhausted. Some methods that are not generally prescribed by the doctor often work and other patients recommend it. Some say wearing a copper ring, bracelet or leaving water in a cooper cup over night and then drinking the water may also help relieve arthritis pain and keep one from seeing a Hand surgeon Los Angeles. Copper is said to strengthen the muscular system.</p>
<p>Consuming certain fruits and vegetables has been known to cause an early cure for certain types of arthritis. One should try to eat: garlic, misumbi, oranges, carrots, and beat juice. One should also practice drinking alfafa tea twice a day, and one teaspoon of turmeric powder with warm water.</p>
<p>Bathing with warm water and engaging in exercise has always been a preventer, cure or pain relief for generally any illness. The icid in lime is also known to help. Individuals should always make sure that they drink enough water, so that their body can function smoothly and properly.</p>

<p>In today&#8217;s competitive world, it is relatively much important for people to stay ahead in competition in both the areas &#8211; personal as well as professional. Nowadays, stress plays a crucial role and results into memory reduction. It is a truth, but prevention is better than cure. Here is the list of memory booster foods that are not only healthy, but also give us a healthy dose of memory boost.</p>
<p><span id="more-43990"></span></p>
<p>Seafood is considered as the good source of memory boosters, especially fish. Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids that are not only good for the heart, but also good for the brain. It restricts memory loss and further brain deterioration. If you have allergy to fish, there are fish oil capsules available in the market today.</p>
<p>Many experts believe that Spinach is one of the best memory booster foods. The reason is the richness of folic acid that prevents Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and other age-related memory loss. So, start including Spinach in your food to make your body and brain in shape.</p>
<p>The next food group is famous due to its purple color. Grapes and eggplants are healthy treats rich in anthocyamin, a very powerful antioxidant. Both of them contain nasunin, an antioxidant that is isolated as color purple colored crystals, responsible for their brilliant color. Nasunin protects the lipids in our brain cell membrane, further delaying as well as preventing future memory loss.</p>

//-->
<p>Berries such as strawberries, blueberries and blackberries also contain plenty of antioxidants that cleanse the body including the blood vessels for improved blood circulation. Berries contain fisetin, similar to onions. Even onions make us cry, they give our body a great benefit. Consumption of onions is highly promoted since this is healthy for one&#8217;s diet. Fisetin found in berries and onions facilitates growth, repair and even the improvement of neurons in our brain, thus contributing to long term memory development.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are searching for foods that prevent cold sores, you are wise indeed.   Nutrition is the most effective and natural way to eliminate cold sore outbreaks.</p>
<p>In this article you will learn about delicious foods that prevent cold sores.  You will also discover foods that cause cold sores.  Best of all, in about 2 minutes, you will know how best to balance the two for your personal needs.  Check it out.</p>
<p><span id="more-32096"></span></p>
<p>Cold sores are the visible result of the herpes virus replication process.  The virus enters a cell on the surface of your face and forces that cell to create copies of itself.  Then the original virus destroys the cell to release hoards of new virus.  The open cold sore is the result of millions of cells in close proximity that have been destroyed like this.</p>
<p>Lysine and arginine are two amino acids much talked about in their relation to cold sores.  Amino acids are small fractions of protein that your body needs everyday to stay in tiptop shape.  To create new cold sore virus, the cell needs certain materials.  One necessary building block for herpes virus replication is arginine.</p>
<p>Lysine has been proven very effective in treating and preventing cold sores.  Lysine prevents cold sores mainly by replacing some of the arginine in your cells.  If you have a higher lysine than arginine content in the cells, you are less likely to get cold sores.</p>
<p>Foods that prevent cold sores are rated by how high the ratio of lysine to arginine content.  Most foods contain both lysine and arginine.  If there is the same amount of both, the ratio is 1 to 1.  If there is twice as much lysine as arginine, then the ratio is 2 to 1.  This is an excellent ratio for preventing cold sores.</p>
<p>So the strategy here is to increase the ratio of lysine over arginine in your diet.  For example: cheddar cheese, in one ounce or 28 grams, contains 588 milligrams of lysine and 267 milligrams of arginine.  This is a ratio of lysine to arginine of 2.2 to 1.  Excellent.</p>
<p>Here is a list of foods that prevent cold sores.  Most meat, particularly beef, fish, turkey and chicken.  Products such as eggs, cheese, yogurt, milk and other dairy products are also quite high in lysine and often offer a 2 to 1 ratio.  Ricotta cheese is unusually high in lysine.  Soy beans, soy products and brewers yeast will also provide you higher lysine intake.</p>
<p>SPECIAL NOTE.  Flounder is very rich in lysine.  Some people use flounder as a total cold sore treatment.  When getting a cold sore, they will eat one pound, or 300 grams, of flounder.  This provides 12 grams of lysine.  Lysine from food is 200% to 400% more usable by the body than the lysine in supplements.  You would have to take 50 lysine capsules, at least, to equal the flounder, which would be crazy.  Your body knows the difference.</p>
<p>Here is a short list of foods that cause cold sores.  These foods have high content of arginine to lysine.  Most nuts, including peanuts, almonds, cashews and walnuts.  Grains, such as wheat and oats.  Seeds, such as sunflower and sesame, are arginine providers.  Also avoid most beans, peas and lima beans.  Most vegetables are higher in arginine than lysine, such as carrots, radishes, eggplant, and cabbage.  Chocolate is high in arginine.</p>
<p>STOP.  Before you give up right here, let me say two things in closing.</p>
<p>Do not hesitate to take lysine capsules just because this form of lysine is not as well absorbed. Many people control outbreaks with the capsules alone.   And do not let a special cold sore diet rule your life.  You will find relief from cold sores and still enjoy life by testing and finding the balance and combinations that best suit your lifestyle.  By taking lysine supplements, you can eat more of the high arginine foods, like chocolate.</p>
<p>It is all about balance.  Yes, you can eat all foods you enjoy, as long as you combine them wisely with supplements and sufficient foods that prevent cold sores.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer is the nation&#8217;s second most deadly disease, therefore it is important to know your risk factors and prevention options. It makes sense to think about the foods you are eating and try to consume nutrient-rich foods. Foods rich in fiber, vegetables, fruits, and juices made from one hundred percent fruit juice are known to reduce your cancer risk. Choose foods that are known for their cancer fighting properties, Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and kale, along with beans, are good sources of foods rich in phytochemicals. Fiber, lutein, and carotenoids are found in dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, romaine lettuce, and collard greens, and are known to reduce your cancer risk. Antioxidants help protect you from cancer by preventing the growth of free radicals in your body. <span id="more-1633"></span>Choose foods with large amounts of vitamins C, E, and A which are known antioxidants. Tomatoes are a good source of vitamins C, E, and A which protect you from cancer causing free radicals. Tomatoes can also protect you from heart disease because they contain lycopene, an antioxidant photochemical. Now that you know the benefits of tomatoes, include them in salads, on sandwiches and as a pizza topping. Watermelon also contains lycopene and is a great source of vitamin A or beta carotene. To reduce the risk of colon and rectal cancer, eat cabbage which is rich in fiber and provides 50 percent of your vitamin C daily requirement. Both cabbage and carrots are super foods with cancer-fighting power. Carrots will provide three times your daily requirement of vitamin A and are an excellent source of fiber and beta carotene. A source of fiber and protein that is equal to two ounces of red meat, is a quarter cup of kidney beans. Add whole wheat pasta, a good source of fiber, broccoli which is packed with vitamin A and C, and a low-fat Italian dressing for a simple cancer-fighting meal. Add strawberries and blueberries to whole grain oatmeal or low-fat yogurt for a snack filled with vitamin C and fiber.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Experts agree &#8211; eating a diet rich in fresh, natural, wholesome and minimally processed foods that include a daily selection of vegetables, fruits such as berries, chicken (preferably free range, organic and again, minimally processed), fish, legumes, nuts, limited amounts of fats, oils such as olive and canola and healthy starches (sweet potatoes and whole grains) can prevent cancer.</p>
<p>Here are the top recommended anti-cancer foods:</p>
<p>Greens &#8211; Spinach, chard, collard, turnip and a whole family of green leafy vegetables are rich in antioxidants that protect your body&#8217;s cell structure from damage caused by &#8216;free radical&#8217; cells that can cause cellular mutation and lead to cancer. One study gave spinach the top ranking of vegetables for its ability to protect against cancer. Try and eat spinach or any one from the family of green, leafy vegetables daily. They are very versatile. Hate cooked spinach? Kale and chard to bitter? Try adding just a few leaves to a salad, sauté lightly with olive oil and garlic, add to soups and stews&#8230;it really is easy to get a healthy helping without being &#8220;Popeye&#8221;<span id="more-1530"></span></p>
<p>Garlic &#8211; Garlic is full of a compound called allicin. Chopping, slicing or dicing a fresh clove of garlic causes this compound to undergo an amazing chemical change. All of these chemicals function as antioxidants that prevent many types of cell mutations that can be the beginning of a cancerous cell. Study continues but points to evidence that in addition to cancer, garlic can aid in the prevention of cancers of the prostate, kidneys, ovaries, larynx, esophagus, prostate and colon. The best way to consume garlic, especially if you not a big fan of the strong flavor is to slowly bake or roast with it. Cooking appears to increase its potency and effect and long cooking reduces the strong flavor into a sweet, smoky flavor. There really is no set amount to consume&#8230;just eat as much as you can daily. And if the flavor is just not something you can learn to like, there are a number of pure garlic supplements that will allow you to consume garlic without feeling &#8216;vampire-proof&#8217;.</p>
<p>Tomatoes &#8211; Tomatoes have one to the powerful antioxidants found to date called lycopene. Lycopene has shown a remarkable ability to fight disease. Lycopene is best absorbed by the body when accompanied by fats and is more available from cooked tomato products such as ketchup, pasta sauce, tomato soup, etc. This could be one of the reason that the Mediterranean Diets is one of the healthiest diets today. If you are not a fan of tomatoes or tomato products, you can get lycopene supplements that are now appearing at most drug stores and health food stores.</p>
<p>Cold Water Fish &#8211; Salmon, sardines and trout are rich in omega-3 fats. These fats have been found to have important anti-inflammatory benefits. Try and eat cold water fish at least twice a week. Wild caught fish appear to have more of the beneficial levels of omega-3 fats than their farm-raised alternatives. Not a fan of fish? Krill oil or omega-3 fatty acid supplements can provide you&#8217;re the protection you need.</p>
<p>Broccoli &#8211; Sometimes called nature&#8217;s miracle cure, broccoli could be the top of the healthy food list. Brocolli contains a substance called Sulforaphane and this increases the body&#8217;s liver enzymes that helps remove dangerous toxins from the body. Eat a half cup of broccoli daily. Raw is best as cooking does remove some of the beneficial nutrients. Quick cooking methods are a great compromise &#8211; par boil for 2 minutes, immediately strain and place in a ice-water bath to stop cooking. Then drain thoroughly and sauté with garlic, olive oil and red pepper flakes for a delicious and nutritious side for fish, chicken or sprinkle with a little parmesan, serve over slice tomatoes for a meal in itself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Millions of people suffer from insomnia, you may fall asleep then find yourself waking up during the night, tossing, turning and having a hard time going back to sleep can be so exhausting. Stress can cause you to suffer from sleep problems, poor diet and your lifestyle. Many do not know but the type of food you eat depends on what type of sleep you get.</p>
<p>Men and women suffer from this medical condition but women suffer more because of menopause, pregnancy and menstruation.<span id="more-801"></span></p>
<p>Sleep is very important to our health; not getting enough sleep can cause illness, medical conditions and change your appearance by increasing the signs of aging causing under eye bag, dark circles and lack of concentration. Feeling tired all the time is no picnic. Here are some tips on how to get a peaceful night sleep.</p>
<p>No coffee before bedtime everyone knows that caffeine keeps you going. If you drink coffee do it way before bedtime because it can take up to 6 to 8 hours for caffeine to leave your system.</p>
<p>Try to avoid going to sleep after eating heavy meals; they can make you sleepy which will cause you to take a nap, so try to stay awake so it won&#8217;t interfere with your nighttime sleep.</p>
<p>A sleepy hormone called melatonin that your body produces is also in the foods you eat. Scientists have discovered this hormone in foods like rice, oats, sweet corn, ginger, bananas and barley says Russell Reiter, PHD, of cellular and structural biology and author of Melatonin: Your Body&#8217;s Natural Wonder Drug.</p>
<p>Lack of Nutrition and Vitamins may affect your sleep cycle too. The better your diet is the greater your sleep will be. Studies have shown that people who do not get enough copper and iron into their diet have a longer time falling asleep. Shellfish have lots of iron in it; eating about 20 small steamed clams for example would provide 25 milligrams of iron or 139 percent of the daily value</p>
<p>A sleep aid called <a href="http://mhlnk.com/6B461AF3">Oxy Sleep </a>if other methods are not convenient for you. It is an all-natural sleep aid that provides your brain the hormones it needs for you to fall asleep and stay that way all night without any tossing and turning. It has ingredients that fight insomnia so that the sand man can do his job. This sleep aid also relives stress and anxiety.</p>
<p>Drinking a cup of chamomile tea before bedtime relaxes you, it really prepares your body for sleep, warm milk is also has a calming effect to the brain.</p>
<p>Magnesium is another mineral that is essential for good sleep. Having low levels of it stimulates the brain neurotransmitters, which leads to over stimulation of the brain. Foods that contain this mineral are pinto and navy beans, green leafy vegetables like spinach, Swiss chard, soybeans, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ and almonds.</p>
<p>Vitamin B also is important when it comes to your diet. It has tryptophan, which is found in foods like turkey and dairy products. It helps the brain to relax and go to sleep. When we eat, it draws blood into the gastrointestinal tract and away from the brain, which then causes you to get sleepy.</p>
<p>Avoid drinking alcohol before going to bed, though it might make you past out it also makes you wake up during the night as well so alcohol plays with your mind and your body. Chocolate will interrupt your sleep cycle too, but only eating it before bed.</p>
<p>If you find yourself suffering from insomnia because of frequenting urination during the night it could be a prostate condition when it comes to men, waking up to use the bathroom is the most common when it comes to getting up during the night. For women it could be a bladder condition or urinary tract infection. If you have a prostate problems getting a prostate health supplement that promotes prostate health is very crucial to your health it can prevent cancer and other medical conditions. Prostacet provides a comprehensive blend of vitamins and herbs that protect your body for greater health.</p>
<p><strong>Thinking Tip</strong>: If you take medications checkout the side effects, some medicines are a culprit for insomnia.</p>
