Begin your day with oats

Being healthy begins by eating healthy. Most of us begin our day by having breakfast that is high in fat and calories, for eg. butter jam toast, cheese sandwiches, omelettes, sheera, vadas, dosas, etc. which is bad for the heart. You need to begin your day with a non-oily nutritious breakfast, for example, having oats. It's quick and easy to prepare, so you can't complain about not having the time to prepare breakfast. Here are some of the benefits of oats:

- Oats contain soluble fibre called beta glucan, which is known to help in reducing cholesterol by the blocking of re-absorption of cholesterol when it passes through the digestive system. Regularly having oats lowers the cholesterol levels in the body.

- Oats contains low levels of sodium. This reduces the risk of contracting high blood pressure and hypertension.

- The soluble fibre present in oats tends to slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, thereby reducing the spikes in the blood sugar levels, which in turn do not lead to unwanted urges to eat.

- Eating oats leaves one much fuller, therefore you tend to eat less. This is especially good for those trying to lose weight.

- Oats contains very less amount of fat and lesser calories. This makes it good for overall health.

- Being a good source of natural dietary fibre, oats are beneficial in curbing the problem of constipation.

- Oats are also known to contain compounds called phytochemicals that can reduce one's risk of cancer.

DJ Cheb i Sabbah Cancer Fundraiser

DJ Cheb i Sabbah and his sacred music club Incredible Hulk has been known for a fusion rate. Joshua Jacobs of the kundalini sense our list of remixes on the tour, their first contact is the name of the DJ.

Breast Cancer Radiation Rates

The majority of the reconstructive surgeries were due to cancer-induced mastectomies, and more than three-quarters of those women reported that breast reconstruction was an important factor in helping them to recover psychologically from the devastating effects of breast cancer.

Under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, if a health insurer provides coverage for a mastectomy, the insurer must also provide coverage for breast implants cost or other reconstructive surgery. This includes procedures to provide symmetry to both breasts. Without insurance, breast implants cost several thousand dollars, depending on the area and the surgeon.

There are several methods used for breast reconstructive surgery but breast implants recovery times are shorter, the surgery is less invasive, and it has the least effect on other parts of the body.

Other types of breast reconstructive surgery are the TRAM flap, which relocates an abdominal muscle to the chest wall; a lat flap, which takes a muscle from the back to provide skin and blood supply for a new breast; or microsurgery, which uses either stomach fat and skin or buttock fat and skin to provide skin and blood supply for a new breast. These types of reconstructive surgery require longer hospital stays and recovery times and leave additional scarring at the donor site. However, since the tissue comes from the patient’s body, there is no concern about rejection of the donor tissue.

There are pros and cons for implants also. Although the recovery is quicker and there are fewer surgeries, implants will probably need to be replaced during a person’s lifetime. Occasionally, the implants may leak or shift, therefore, a correction may need to be made; since implants do not sag with age, symmetry may not be permanent.

However, considering all these factors, breast implant reconstructive surgery remains the most popular procedure and usually involves two surgeries. The first surgical procedure will insert a tissue expander with a port in it so that the physician can periodically add saline (usually once a week) until the implant reaches just slightly larger than the desired size. There will be a surgical drain near the incision to funnel away excess fluid and help the wound heal. The reason for making the expander larger than needed is to enable the skin to stretch larger than is ultimately desired, so that when the implant is slightly reduced in size, the breast will have a natural droop. Sometimes there is pain associated with the expansion, but this generally subsides as the skin and tissue stretches.

When the skin and tissue have reached the desired size, the expander is removed and the implant inserted, which requires another surgery. Not all women require an expander, in which case the surgeon inserts the implant directly and only one surgery is involved. Breast implants recovery time is shorter for cosmetic surgery.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration published a possible link between both saline and silicone implants and a rare form of lymphoma, anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) in the capsule surrounding the implant. Although ALCL is completely curable and the FDA doesn’t consider the link viable, they suggest getting regular checkups, particularly if symptoms appear such as pain, lumps or swelling.

The best candidates for implant reconstructive surgery are women with smaller breasts and smaller builds. Obesity, high blood pressure, smoking and excessive alcohol intake are risk factors that may make a woman a poor candidate for implant reconstruction. A walking/stretching program and a yoga regimen started as far in advance of the surgery as possible appear to reduce recovery time and speed healing.

The World Cancer Day was observed in the country on Friday as elsewhere around the world to raise awareness on cancer and its prevention.

The theme of World Cancer Day this year is “Teach children and teenagers to avoid ultra violet (UV) exposure by being Sun Smart.”

In observance of the day different social organisations arranged various programmes.

Centre for Cancer Prevention and Research (CCPR) organised a daylong free camp for detection and treatment of cancer at its Gazipur Cancer Hospital located at Chandona Chowrasta.

Prevention estimates announced today, World Cancer Day, by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) show that by eating a varied and healthy diet, undertaking regular physical activity, being at a healthy weight and limiting alcohol intake, as many as 340,000 cases of cancer in United States could be prevented each year.

A team from National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICRH), led by Dr Md Habibullah Talukder Ruskin, associate professor and head of Cancer Epidemiology, provided consultation free of cost at the camp from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

Assistant Prof Dr Afroza Khanom Rumu of Gynae Oncology, Surgical Oncologist Md Hasanuzzaman and Dr Yesmin Sultana of the NICRH are the other members of the medical team, says a CCPR press release.

This landmark report reinforces the AICR/WCRF conclusion that regular physical activity can prevent many diseases such as breast and colon cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. The report provides concrete recommendations for levels of physical activity needed for health at three ages (5-17 years, 18-64 years, and over age 65); these recommendations are especially helpful for low- and middle-income countries, where few national guidelines for physical inactivity exist.

Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that some 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015 around the world. In 2007, there were 7.9 million deaths from cancer, around 13 percent of all deaths.

At present, there are one million cancer patients in Bangladesh while approximately 200,000 new patients, mostly women, are added every year creating a social burden on the country.
