A H1N1 virus and SARS

Everyone seems to be cautious about the current scare about the epidemic of A H1N1 virus. Some may even blame it to the poor pigs (come on! it's not their fault!). Anyway, i believe that there is always a way out like how we went through a certain epidemic virus about six years ago, the so-called SARS.

SARS or Severe acute respiratory syndrome is a respiratory illness caused by a virus. This was first reported in Asia in 2003. Many people were trembling with fear for several months before the outbreak ended. Yes, it has ended, and i believe that today's H1N1 virus epidemic will end soon as well.

Sit all day and suffer a stroke!

Did you know that when you are sitting, there is an important enzyme that is shutting down?

This enzyme is called LIPASE, which is responsible for the processing of the fats in your body. Once this shuts down, the processing apparently stops too. Veins will be blocked, causing heart diseases. This is one of the reasons why office workers, who sit in front of the computer the whole day, have weak heart. And yes, all "tamad" people are prone to suffer a stroke too. So if you want to have a heart failure, just sit all day!






From wiki: A lipase is a water-soluble enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ester bonds in water–insoluble, lipid substrates. Lipases thus comprise a subclass of the esterases. Lipases perform essential roles in the digestion, transport and processing of dietary lipids such as triglycerides, fats, oils in most, if not all, living organisms. Genes encoding lipases are even present in certain viruses.

No Pain, No Gain!

Not everyone of course is certain that small steps could lead you all the way to good health. According to Marc Siegel, MD of a clinical associate professor at the NYU School of Medicine, while doing something is certainly better than doing nothing, making such small changes is like using a Band – aid to stop a hemorrhage.

“It is a small, gimmicky idea to target people with very unhealthy lifestyles, and for some it may be useful,” says Siegel, author of False Alarm: the Truth about the Epidemic of Fear. But he’s afraid that for most people, it’s sending the wrong message.

“In some way it is a resignation, an admission that things can not be changed – and that is certainly not the long – term answer,” Siegel tells WebMD.

Katz admits that the Stealth Health approach may not be right for everybody.

“There is a trade – off because if you try to make the pursuit of health easier for people, you run the risk of leading them to believe they don’t need to do very much --- and that would be the wrong message,” he says.

Meantime, Katz believes that for those who find out making changes a horrifying move, Stealth Health can make a change.

“If you want the really big gains, there has to be some pain,” says Katz. “But there is a lot to be said before the idea that you can make some gains with little or no pain, and that is infinitely better than no gains.”

Fun Facts: What Happens When You Laugh

Research confirms the following health benefits reaped from a hearty chuckle:

* Your heart and lungs are stimulated.

* You breathe deeper and oxygenate more blood.

* Your body releases endorphins, your own natural pain killers, and you produce more immune cells.

* You burn seventy-eight times as many calories as you would in a resting state.

* The residual effects of laughter are also something to smile about -- your muscles and arteries relax, which helps ease pain, and your blood pressure lowers and your pulse drops below normal, all of which some researchers think helps your digestion.
