Healthy Food For Your Prostate is a post from: Pantao Health

The aging process is for the greater part no mystery anymore. It consists for a great part of daily damages done on the macroscopic, tissue, cellular and genetic levels. These add up as the years are passing. These damages have specific causes like oxidating agents, sun beams, mechanical wear and tear, psychological stress, lack of some nutritional components and too much of others, like fat.

Another component of aging is the reduction of the telomere chains at the chromosome ends, as each cell division occurs. However, the body has means to repair these ends again, with an enzyme called telomerase. The rapidity of the aging process depends on lack of efficiency in this repair process. The above mention aging causes also slow down this repair process.

The factors causing aging, also causes other diseases like cancer and coronary heart disease. Both aging and these diseases can in great extend be prevented with the knowledge possessed today, and the damages can in great extend be reversed. The components to achieve this are:

-Adequate dayly food containing whole cereals, peas, beans, vegetables, fruit, fish, mushroms, fouls and seafood, and with just a moderate amount of red meat.

-Just a moderate amount of fat and most of the fat supply comming from sources like olive, fish, nuts, sun-flower, etc. Then you will get a good balance between mono-unsaturated fat (olive), poly-unsaturated fat of the omaga-3-type (fish) and poly-unsaturated fat of the omega-6-type.

-Just a very moderate amount of butter, soya oil, corn oil and palm oil. A high consumption of these fat sources gives you too much saturated fat and poly-unsaturated omega-6-fat. -Just a very moderate amount of sugar, refined flour or refined cereals.

-Supplements of specific nutritional components like vitamins, minerals, lecitin and some essential fatty acids.

-Adequate training, that both gives both a muscular load, work up your condition and stretches out your body. To stretch out, yoga-exercizes are ideal.

-Adequate rest and stress-reduction. Daily meditation is a method of achieving this. Natural relaxing agents or spesific tools for meditation or relaxation may also be useful.

-Supplements of specific anti-aging agents like anti-oxidants or human growth hormone.

-Use of specific anti-aging agents to apply upon the skin surface. -To protect the skin against excessive sun exposure.

The amount one needs of nutritional supplements, like vitamins and minerals, differs very much according to a person`s health condition, work load and exposure to environmental stress. A person having a poor digestion, doing high performance sport or being exposed to a high amount of environmental stressors, may need more than an person in an average situation.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. According to Cancer Research UKmore than 45,500 women were diagnosed with it in 2005 and around 300 men are diagnosed each year.

Your breasts continue to change in size and shape throughout your life, particularly around menstruation and the menopause. Regular self-examinations are vital for spotting any abnormal changes yet most of us don’t do them very often and when we do, we aren’t really sure what we’re supposed to be looking for. Breasts often feel lumpy, particularly during menstruation so how do you distinguish between temporary, hormonal lumps and bumps and something more serious?

When To Check Your Breasts

You need to check your breasts from puberty until old age. Experts suggest making a routine of it so it becomes second nature. Dr Miriam Stoppard suggests doing it regularly to get thoroughly acquainted with how your breasts change in appearance and texture throughout your cycle. Once you are familiar check them once a month, after your period to give your hormones time to settle. Hormone changes can make them feel lumpy, tender and sore.

How To Do a Breast Self-examination

Find somewhere private and quiet; after a bath or shower is ideal. Stand in front of a mirror so you can see them from the front and sides. Physical changes you need to be aware of include changes in size, prominent veins, rashes, eczema, dimples, puckering or nipple discharge. Touch and look at the whole breast tissue – underneath your breasts and armpits. Check your clothes for any signs of leakage.

Dr Miriam Stoppard suggests the following routine: -

Observing Your Breasts

Raise your arms above your head and look at your breasts in the mirror from the front and side. Put your hands on your hips firmly to tense your muscles. Lean forwards from the waist and look at them again from the front and sides.

Feeling Your Breasts

Lie flat on your back and raise your arm up behind your head to lift the breasts. It’s easier to use the opposite hand – your left hand on your right breast and vice versa. Make small circles starting on the nipple and spiralling outwards towards the armpits. Move your fingers vertically from beneath the breast to the top and then do the same horizontally. Feel beneath your breasts, all around your armpits, décolletage and up to your collarbone.

What If I Find a Lump in My Breast?

Don’t panic. Most lumps and tender spots are hormonal and linked to menstruation, or benign fluid-filled cysts that are easily removed. A lump doesn’t mean you have breast cancer. Check the opposite breast to see if there is a lump in the same place so you know whether it is normal to you. Wait until your period has finished to see whether it disappears. If it doesn’t make an appointment with your doctor to get it checked out.

Breast Screening Programmes

In the UK women aged between 50-70 years are invited to have a mammogram (an x-ray of the breast that detects small cancers in early stages). Women who have a family history of breast cancer are invited to have this done before the age of 50. Screening is done every three years at present and plays an important role in reducing the number of deaths from breast cancer.
