Some Facts About Shampoos And Shower Gels Etc

There is some information that we must know regarding the toothpastes, shampoos, the shower gels, the bathroom foams etc. that we all use on a daily basis. We all try to buy the best products but the one thing that we overlook is to see as to what are the different chemicals that are present inside these products that we use. In this article we are going to take a look on all these products and will see as to what our next steps should be when we are buying them.

You must check all the products that you use for the following chemicals that will listed as follows: Sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium laureth sulphate, aluminium, alcohol, propylene glycol, as well as DEA.

The chemical sodium lauryl sulphate is a chemical that is being used commonly in toothpastes, bubble baths, shampoos as well as soaps. This ingredient is used as a foaming agent and can also act as a skin irritant.

There are a lot of shampoos that contain the ingredient sodium lauryl sulphate also known as SLS and when one shampoos with this chemical then they are putting the same amount of nitrates in the body that are equivalent to a bacon, we must also know that the SLS is being used as a wetting agent in garage floor cleaners as well as engine degreasers.

The chemical sodium laureth sulphate is a better foaming chemical than the sodium lauryl sulphate and it is less irritating but the effects of this chemical is that it causes excessive drying of the skin.

There is presence of aluminium that is found in deodorants and this is something that is being used regularly by a lot of people throughout the world and it is being found that the aluminium present in the deodorants can cause Alzheimer’s disease and the risk is up to three times.

The alcohol that is present in the mouthwashes can cause cancer of the mouth and throat, which was revealed in a study that was done by the National Cancer Institute.

The chemical agent, propylene glycol is present in personal care products that include cosmetics, foaming baths, as well as shampoos and this is also found in brakes and hydraulic fluids. The purpose for using it in the cosmetic products is because it will prevent the moisture from escaping from the skin. According to the material safety data sheet it was found that the propylene glycol acts as a strong irritant and this can cause damage to the kidney and liver.

DEA is a wetting agent and if it is being kept on a shelf for longer periods of time, it can react with other ingredients and can produce carcinogens.

Signs Of Early Dementia

Our body is a major indicator if any of the problems are arising in our body and the major indicator for the neurological disease are exhibited with problems of walking, balance and coordination, which can signal an early sign of dementia, as well as Alzheimer’s disease.

The findings that were shown were present in about 2000 people which included the ages of 65 and older and these individuals had been followed for about 6 years and before that time none of them had shown any sign of Alzheimer’s or dementia.

There was a link that was found between the mind and body of the patients who were aging and there was also a link that was established between the walking and the later problems with dementia.

The link mentions that as an individual gets aged, their walking slows down and as the walking slows down the odds increase that their mind processing is also getting slow, which often leads to Alzheimer’s disease and that is something that can be found with the change in gait and the mind processing, which act as an indicator.

The researcher said that earlier there was a concept that the earliest changes that occur are presented first in the form of cognitive changes or the problems with the mental processing. It was also said that the physical problems appear earlier than the disease itself. He said that the individuals who were having a lot of difficulty in terms of walking were the ones who were to have a higher rate of developing Alzheimer’s disease in the next six years.

These people who were being tested throughout the duration of observation were put through different tests such as walking, balancing, cognitive skills etc. were found to be the ones who were at less risk than the ones who were showing problems with walking, thinking and balancing. These individuals were retested after every 2 years.

They also mentioned that the things are all linked and if one thing goes wrong, the other things starts to go wrong along with it. The researcher also mentioned that one does not want the people to read that if they are having difficulty with walking means that they will have problems with their mind and they will go onto develop dementia or Alzheimer’s because it does not happen like that all the time, the physical signs may be an indicator but not for sure.

Breast Cancer Is Fought By A Bone Loss Drug

According to a new research, a bone loss drug, which is Raloxifene, which reduces the resorption of the bones can reduce the chances of women suffering from breast cancer. The researchers who have been studying the effects of the drug, Raloxifene, said that this drug works equally good as the drug tamoxifen, which is being used as an agent to kill the cancerous cells that are caused by the breast cancer.

We would like to give you a brief introduction of breast cancer so that you can gather an understanding of this leading cause of death in women; breast cancer is the most prevalent and common cancer among the women and the number of cases reported of breast cancer are increasing a lot. As an estimate there are about one million women who are currently suffering from breast cancer.

There are many factors that lead to the development of breast cancer and one of them is age. It is being estimated that the incidence of breast cancer in women increases after every 10 years and it just increases with every decade until the women they hit their menopause and it is then that the risk of developing breast cancer starts to decrease. From the research and analyzing the different data that was gathered from throughout the world, it has come to known that out of every 100,000 women about 24 women in Japan will develop cancer where as in China this rate climbs further to about 26. These numbers increase pretty high in Britain where it is about 68.8 and in Scotland it is 72 and in US it climbs up to about 90.7 per 100,000 females.

It has also been established a fact that if the women from any of these countries travel to US or from any of the low numbered countries, then it is being seen that the breast cancer cases will come to the same level of that country in a matter of a few decades, which shows that apart from the genetic influence in getting the breast cancer, it is also the geographical variation that has a strong influence on developing the breast cancer.

Another factor that can be the cause of breast cancer is the reproductive factors, the women who are either menstruating early or are going through a late menopause are likely to develop breast cancer. Also the women who give birth to a child at late ages are at risk of developing breast cancer and the risk is doubled in these women than the women who are giving birth to a child in their 20s. It is also being stated that the women who give birth to their first child at the age of 35 are the ones who are at the most risk than the women who have no children at all.

Another cause of breast cancer among women is the inheritance of the genetic makeup, which accounts for about 10% of the women all around the world. Another factor that is the cause of the breast cancer is the presence of a previous breast disease that can account for the development of breast cancer.

Another factor of breast cancer is the radiation exposure. It has been mentioned that the teenage girls were the ones who developed the breast cancer due to the radiation exposure during the World War II. The women who are obese before reaching to their menopausal age are less likely to develop breast cancer where as in the postmenopausal women the increase in weight doubles the risk of breast cancer in them.

These days women are being going through constant breast examinations and breast screenings and the women are also asked to self breast examinations so that they are able to check whether they are developing any lumps that must be given serious attention to.

If the cancer is being found then the women are being told about the different tests that they would be going through and what are the different options that they have in terms of treatment of the breast cancer and what are the risks and benefits of the different treatment options that will be instituted as the best approach that is present at the current time. Therefore it is best that if you find a lump in the breast, that you must consult a physician and get that checked immediately. There are a lot of breakthroughs that are going on in the current world of medicine where there are a lot of drugs that are becoming available to the women that are much safer and more specific for the treatment of breast cancer and thus is a great hope for the women who are suffering from it.

According to the recent research, the scientists have been able to find out that there is a drug that is equally effective as the drug tamoxifen and that it reduces the incidence of breast cancer by 50%. Raloxifene is an osteoporosis drug and is being given to women to help protect their bones.

There was a study that was conducted in which the data was collected of about 20,000 women who have reached the phase of menopause. It was found that the raloxifene was comparatively a safer drug than the tamoxifen because it caused less uterine cancers and very few blood clots that were life threatening. The researchers also found out that if we see the effects of the drugs and the quality of life issues, there were a lot of women who said that they had side effects from both of these medicines, which are raloxifene and the tamoxifen, but the raloxifene did not have much of a negative impact on their quality of life.

The symptoms that these women had with the tamoxifen were having were leg cramps, problems of bladder and gynecological problems. Whereas the women who were on raloxifene had been having aches, pains during intercourse and weight gain. It was also mentioned that the drug raloxifene is going to be a drug of choice for women who are at risk of developing breast cancer and that they will have an alternative now, which is going to be the most excellent aspect of it. The researchers said that raloxifene is still in the process of being approved by the FDA and they are hoping that it will get approved and will be a big hope for millions of women throughout the world.

Improve Your Sleep

Our health depends a lot on our sleep patterns and it is really important for us to see as to what is our sleep habit and how many hours do we sleep every night and how much rest do we allow our bodies through every night so that we are able to make throughout the day. I can understand that the life that we are living now is really hectic and the hours that we are getting for sleep are very less, but we really need to be sincere in taking enough sleep.

It is really important for us to understand as to why we should have a good night sleep and for that reason I am mentioning some of the benefits that one can draw by improving their sleep patterns. When you will have a good night sleep, you will be feeling really good and refreshed when you will wake up. With enough rest you will be able to drive much safer and thus you will be able to make sure that no one will be endangered by you with having a good night rest. You will be a whole lot alert at your job and you will be able to perform your duties at your best and you will be less stressed. With better sleep you will be able to have a better immune system and you will be able to fight off diseases much better with your body’s own defense system. Your life will be much better and healthier and happier with a good night rest that you will be having every night as a routine in your life.

I believe that you will agree with me when I mentioned all those benefits and now we have to see as to how we can make sure that we are getting a good night sleep, for this we will go through certain points that will help us maintain our life in a positive direction.

1. You Need To Set Your Body Clock: You need to define a time when you will go to sleep and the time that you will set for yourself, you need to make sure that you will definitely sleep at that time as this is would be a constant feature and not something that you will change from time to time. You can define a time and then decide that the time that you will take to sleep will be plus minus half an hour but that should not be longer than that otherwise you will be getting yourself into a pretty strange routine.

2. You Must Be Careful About Eating And Drinking: The reason that you should be careful about eating and drinking is that you must know that if you are going to drink plenty of fluids before going to bed then you would be making it difficult for you to sleep throughout the night and then you would be taking trips to bathroom to urinate and that is going to disrupt your sleep a lot, like you can get up about two to three times at night to urinate and that will make you feel drowsy and sleepy throughout the day. Along with drinking carefully, you need to make sure that you are eating at a decent time before you go to sleep because if you are going to have a meal that is high in oil, then that can cause heartburn and can also cause regurgitation of food, so you need to take care that you are not eating oily and greasy foods before going to sleep. Along with that, there are certain foods that you must be very careful in consuming such as coffee, tea, soft drinks and chocolate because they are brain stimulants and might prevent you from going to sleep.

3. Design Your Sleeping Environment: Your sleep also depends on the environment you are sleeping in, you must be an individual who sleeps in an environment where there is dark and if there is some light on you will not be able to go to sleep. Therefore you must design the environment according to your wishes so that you are able to sleep in an environment where you are able to sleep pretty smoothly. You must have a room temperature where you are able to feel really comfortable, therefore you need to set the temperatures to the point where it is neither cool nor hot and it is optimum, and if you want to have a cool environment, then you need to make sure that you have a blanket on your bed to keep you warm. Another very important feature is that you must have a mattress that is comfortable so that you are able to sleep soundly. It is also really important that the environment is really quiet so that you can sleep really good. Your bedroom must be a separate area from your work place so that you can sleep in a place, which is not your work place and you do not have any thing on your mind regarding work.

4. Get Yourself Ready When It Is Time To Sleep: You must prepare yourself when you need to sleep and you need to prepare physically and spiritually. Sleep is the best time in a day when you can regain your energies and you must take it as an important time because your entire day depends on that. Get yourself some comfortable clothing, adjust the temperature and enjoy your rest.

5. Get Help If You Are Having Problems: If you are having problems going to sleep then you must consult your physician and tell him regarding the problem that you are going through so your physician can prescribe you as to what medicine you should be taking so that you can set your sleeping patterns.

Beware Of ADHD Drugs

According to a report there were thousands of children and adults who were being sent to the emergency rooms because of using the ADHD drugs.

There was a survey conducted in which it was found that there were about 3100 people that were being sent to emergency room each year because of the usage of ADHD drugs and most of the cases that are reported are because of the overdose and accidental use of the drug, which the researchers say can be prevented by placing the pills out of the reach of children.
There were other patients who had side effects from the ADHD drugs and the side effects include chest pains, stroke, increased blood pressure and increased heart rates.

Since these cases were being reported at a higher rate, this caused the doctors concerned and they have asked the FDA to issue a warning on the usage of those drugs and the drugs that are given in ADHD includes Ritalin, Concerta, as well as Adderall.

There are some doctors who say that the sides effects are small and they do not think that the drug offers any harm to the individuals and that the most cases can be prevented by taking the drugs out of the reach of the children. There are about 3.3 million Americans who are the ages of 19 or younger and about 1.5 million of people who are the ages of 20 or older who are taking the ADHD medicines.

There were about 19 deaths that were reported from about 1999 till 2003 and there were about 54 cases that were reported of heart attacks and strokes, there were also other patients who had prior heart problems. There were about 188 emergency room visits that were reported from about August 2003 till December 2005 because of the side effects of these drugs and this data was collected by different hospitals.

There were some other cases reported that were linked to the allergic reactions with the usage of the ADHD drugs, which was reported in about 73 patients. There were also cases reported in which the child used the medicine of some other child or used his medicine but in an excessive dose.

The symptoms other than the cardiac symptoms included pain in the abdomen, spasms, rashes, weakness and pain in the limbs, but there has been no report of the patients being dead with the use of the drugs of ADHD.

There is still a debate going on among the different doctors as to whether they should label this drug as a black box or they should wait and see more data that they come up with.

You Can Pull Yourself Out From Strokes Effects

Stroke is a condition in which the blood supply to the brain is altered or stopped, which results in the damage to the brain cells. The damage to the brain cells is irreversible and can lead to temporary or permanent loss of functions. The individuals who suffer from stroke are generally asked to go through a rehabilitation process where they are made to go through the different exercise regimens, which are totally focused to help these individuals to gain strength and to make them able to perform the skills that they have lost because of stroke.

The most important thing that makes the foundation of the physical therapies is an elaborative discussion with the individuals who are going through it. It is very important that they should be told as to what happened and what were the different skills that they lost due to the stroke and what can be done to help regain it back. These kind of discussions just help the individuals to understand as to how much effort will be required and that they need to keep themselves strong through the entire process, as their will is the most important thing that would just make this all possible.

The main purpose of the rehabilitation of stroke patients is to assess the extent of damage being present and then the duration of the rehabilitation is assigned and then the individuals go through an extensive exercise regimen. For example the individuals who has a severe affect on their lower extremities due to which they cannot walk will have to go through a rehabilitation period of about 11 weeks and if the individuals have not regained their strength and the functionality of that limb to a 100% then the duration of the therapy is increased and is made more intense.

The doctors state that even though there are neurological impairments because of the stroke, but the brain has the learning capacity and the individuals can learn to do the basic tasks of their living.

In a study on patients that have suffered from stroke included men and women and they were suffering from problems with walking. There were two blocks of the patients made, one block was made to exercise on the treadmill and the intensity and the duration of the exercise varied among different individuals depending on their level to cope up with that. The other block of patients were made to do the conventional therapies and these were for about 40 minutes with stretching of about 35 minutes and treadmill exercise of about 5 minutes.

After a span of about six months, it was found that the individuals who were going through an intensive program of the treadmill exercise were the ones who had about a 56% improvement in walking ability as compared to the individuals in the other block who were in the traditional group who had an improvement of only about 12%.

Even if you are an individual who had gone through stroke and you had a resultant weakness of your legs and because of that you are unable to walk, then you must know that you can just get yourself back on track no matter how long it has been since you had stroke, you can walk, you can, and you know that.

Major Differences Between Raw Food And Cooked Food

In this article we are going to shed light on the major differences between the raw food and the cooked food. It is known that when the foods are cooked at high temperatures, the major ingredients of the foods (especially vegetables) such as essential enzymes and the nutrients are being destroyed. The animal meat and products are excluded from this. Both of the raw and the cooked foods have their pros and cons, let us see both sides of the coin to have a better look at the picture.

In raw foods, there are more Nutrients than the cooked foods. When the foods are cooked, there is about 80% of the vitamins and minerals that are destroyed in that process. It also shows that during the process of cooking, there is a loss of about 90 percent of B12 and about a 100% loss of enzymes and the phytonutrients. On the other hand, it is being said that an individual can absorb vitamin C better from the cabbage when it is cooked rather than eating it raw.

It is being said that the raw foods are easier to Digest than the cooked foods. The studies show that the enzymes contained in the raw foods help an individual to digest the food much more better than the cooked foods. This shows that the foods that have the enzymes in them are going to benefit the digestive tract and are going to allow better absorption of the nutrients. On the other hand, it is being said regarding the cooked foods, that the digestibility of the foods get better when they are cooked as they are tough and to get their nutrient value, one should cook them such as beans etc.

The body contains toxins and the raw foods help Detoxify the toxins present in the body. The foods that we eat these days that are conventionally grown contains pesticides, preservatives, hormones etc. and can cause hazardous effects on the body, whereas the raw foods can help the body to eliminate the existing toxins and prevents them from being created and helps the body to maintain the normal health overall. On the side of the cooked food, it is being said that the cooked foods can also help eliminate the toxins from the body such as the foods that contain vitamin C can be cooked on light heat and thus help detoxify the toxins present in the body.

The raw food can be a lot easier and Convenient to make and there is no mess of the oil and grease present on the plates and it does not require much soaking or scrubbing and takes less time on cleaning out the dishes and makes less mess. On the other hand, the people who support the making of cooked food say that eating raw food can be a whole lot boring and it does not bother them to clean out the dishes and plates and there are lot of techniques to cook foods in a way where they use a whole less oil and the food is a lot less greasy and oily.

Genetic Disorders Detected By DNA Fingerprinting In Embryo

Genetics is the future of the modern day science. There are a lot of diseases that have a genetic influence behind them and it is how they are caused. The researchers now are trying to find the ways as to how they can be able to detect the different genes that are the cause of the diseases so that they are able to detect these problems in the embryo and eliminate them before the child comes into the world. Isn’t that amazing that a child who is going to born with a problem of autism, now have the opportunity to live a life where he is going to be a normal child and will not suffer from the disastrous effects of autism. We are talking about future where millions of people who could have suffered from serious illnesses now have a chance to live a longer, happier and a bright life, I think that is awesome and that will lead to a healthy world with long term life expectancy.

In this article we are going to discuss the different diseases that are being detected through the genetic testing and their genes are being marked and that is going to be just the beginning of this new era.

The geneticists have now been able to get really close in finding the genetic basis of the metabolic basis, which includes hypertension, obesity as well as diabetes. In this study the researchers studied about 1300 patients, as well as volunteers who were healthy and in them the researchers were able to find a great deal of variation in the sequence of the DNA, which was lipid phosphate SHIP2 gene, which is linked with the heightened risk of developing the metabolic disorder, which is also known as the syndrome X. The researchers are still working on it to get to the culprit genes that are the cause of the metabolic syndrome, which includes hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia that can ultimately result in the vascular problems as well as the cardiovascular disease.

Another gene, which is known as SHIP2, which controls the biological aspects of the insulin, which is a hormone produced by pancreas. This regulates the biological effects of insulin that functions to lower the sugar level in the blood. In syndrome X, there is decrease in the action of the insulin to lower the blood sugar level that results in the development of diabetes. The researchers added that they need to do more studies so that they are able to gather more data and get to the genes that are causing all these things to happen in individuals and that is going to be a major breakthrough once it is being sorted out because these genetic disorders can be cleared out in the embryos.

So the scientists are now coming up with the tests that would enable them to find these genetic disorders in the embryos and then this would help the couples to prevent passing on the bad genes to their kids.

The scientists said that there are a lot of diseases that pass on through the genetic route and with the different techniques that are being devised these days they would be able to save millions of people from falling a victim of those diseases and there can be millions and millions of dollars that can be saved and the world can be a much better place with greater life expectancies.
The scientists mentioned that testing the parents, as well as the kids and close relationships can help the scientists to identify the markers, which are the different genes that are the cause of the diseases. There is a new test that is being introduced, which is known as pre-implantation genetic halotyping, also known as PGH, which will be providing lots of couples to help prevent passing of the serious illnesses to their children so that this can be made sure that the embryos that are used in the in-vitro fertilization are healthy.
The researchers added that with these genetic testings, the embryos are screened for the known genes of various diseases and this is being done with taking one single cell from the embryo and then amplifying it to a million times in the laboratory and it is from this that these scientists are able to know as to what are the different culprit genes that are there and should be eliminated from the embryo so that the embryo is free from these genes and the child who then comes into the world is almost totally free of disease.
When the scientists have taken out the cell from the embryo and checked under high amplifications then there is a very little chance that the results could be faulty. The parents and close family members are also tested so as to determine as to what are the different chromosomes that have the culprit genes in them. And then these faulty patterns that are obtained from the parents and the close relatives are then compared with the patterns obtained from the embryo and this shows whether the culprit genes were in the embryo or not.

With the pre-implantation genetic halotyping it is also possible to know that whether the embryo is just only a carrier or it has the genetic condition in it that would ultimately lead to diseases. If there is no such condition in the embryo then the embryo is known as healthy.

This test has helped about five kids who might have contracted the Duchenne muscular dystrophy and that risk has been eliminated from the embryos who will grow out to be healthy individuals, which is a huge success that this modern day technological advancements have given to us.
