			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Snuff Smoking" src="http://www.stopsmokingsteps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/chewing-tobacco_.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="290" />The effects of snuff have been proven and are not positive. Every year there are four million deaths from diseases associated with consumption of snuff, according to estimates by the World Health Organization.</p>
<p>In Spain, the effects of snuff also take their toll. Each day about 150 people die from the effects of snuff according to a study of the Sociedad Catalana de Pneumologia (SOCAP) and the Spanish Association Against Cancer of Catalonia.<span id="more-153"></span></p>
<p>It is well known that snuff causes <a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/cancer/lung-cancer.htm">lung cancer</a> approximately 90% of cases of this disease relate to snuff.<br />
What else happens in the body by <a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/health-info/cigarettes-have-become-extreme-anxiety.htm">smoking</a>?<br />
Here&#8217;s a summary of some of the most common effects of snuff:</p>
<p>* <a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/cancer/causes-symptoms-and-treatment-for-lung-cancer.htm">Less oxygen to the organs</a><br />
* The damage to blood vessels<br />
* Paralyzes respiratory cilia<br />
* Ulcers<br />
* Eye Damages<br />
* It makes you grow old<br />
* Fertility problems<br />
* Impotence<br />
* It affects the health of children</p>
<p>Less oxygen to the organs<br />
The snuff has adverse effects in health © Lorelyn Medina &#8211; Fotolia Carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen reaching the organs. The decrease of oxygen can have serious consequences such as heart attacks or strokes. Nicotine also increases heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and coronary flow.</p>
<p>The effects of snuff decreased lung tissue elasticity. Cigarette smoke causes respiratory inflammation and interferes with the normal expansion and contraction of lungs.</p>
<p>Carbon monoxide, the invisible poison in cigarette smoke causes heart disease. Carbon monoxide robs oxygen from blood. As a result, tissues receive less oxygen, the food necessary to stay healthy.</p>
<p>Damage to blood vessels and airways<br />
The tars damage and obstruct blood vessels. This can aggravate infections cause diseases of the mouth, throat, lungs and bladder.</p>
<p>Smoking is one of the most common causes of impotence. In one study, smoking a pack of snuff per day increases by up to 60% risk of impotence.</p>
<p>The snuff also affects the airways. Nicotine prevents movement of respiratory cilia, tiny hairs that cover the inside of our lungs. Thanks to its motion in waves carry unwanted particles along the surface of the mucous lining. Thus, respiratory cilia are responsible for assisting in the task of filtering dust and other substances in the inhaled air.</p>
<p>During smoking, the cilia function and hence will detoriando smokers get more colds and respiratory infections easily.</p>
<p>Snuff smoke can trigger an asthma attack.</p>
<p>Ulcers, eye damage and skin aging<br />
Smokers are more susceptible to gastric and duodenal ulcers. Nicotine reduces the levels of vitamin C and so wounds heal more slowly.</p>
<p>Cigarette smoke, including tar, causing biological changes in the eye leading to vision loss in some smokers.</p>
<p>In addition, each puff of cigarette smoke contains about two trillion free radicals responsible for oxidation and premature skin aging. If you want to look younger image as best you can do is quit.</p>
<p>Fertility problems<br />
The fertility problems generated snuff © Galina Barskaya &#8211; Fotolia fumadoray Are you a woman you&#8217;re having trouble getting pregnant? Then you should seriously consider quitting. Dutchman According to a report published by the British science journal &#8220;Human Fertility&#8221; the snuff has an effect &#8216;devastating&#8217; fertility.</p>
<p>The study was conducted among 8,500 women from twenty to forty years in the Netherlands were subject to fertility treatment. Forty percent of them were addicted to snuff and had smoked at least one cigarette a day during the previous year.</p>
<p>The study indicates that a single cigarette a day reduces the likelihood of women becoming pregnant and increases instead of having the abortion.</p>
<p>The researchers concluded that snuff added ten years for women&#8217;s reproductive age, which means that a smoker of thirty years has the same problems that a non-smoker at forty.</p>
<p>The snuff also affects children<br />
Studies of the British Medical Association show that snuff abuse during pregnancy can adversely affect the weight of the unborn baby.</p>
<p>The effects of snuff therefore influence the health of the children of smoking parents.</p>
<p>During its first year of life, children of parents who smoke at home are much more likely to be hospitalized for bronchitis and pneumonia than non-smoking parents.</p>
<p>More than 17,000 children under five are hospitalized annually in British hospitals because of the smoke snuff their parents, according to British newspaper Daily Mail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="padding-right:5px" title="high cholesterol" src="http://www.bakeridi.edu.au/Assets/Images/9.jpg" alt="high cholesterol" width="242" height="238" />No, it is not! But the pharmaceutical industry wants you to believe it is.</p>
<p>High cholesterol, such as cancer, diabetes and other conditions of the body are signs that something is wrong internally.</p>
<p>Cholesterol is our friend, not the monster that we have painted the medical world in conjunction with the pharmaceutical industry. No Cholesterol life, plain and simple. Cholesterol is vital for optimal functioning of the body in general.</p>
<p>Did you know that high cholesterol is a very controversial?</p>
<p>There are many professionals in the world of conventional medicine and natural to believe strongly that the use of cholesterol-lowering drugs is a<strong> fraud</strong>. Not only a fraud, but an act that may worsen the patient&#8217;s health dramatically.</p>
<p><span id="more-109"></span>Do not worry if you do not present evidence as immediate. We are working to bring items to eye-opening.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been diagnosed with high cholesterol, then the problem lies in your food, or rather, in your meals, because not everything that you eat foods you can call (there is a difference between food and meals &#8211; food is everything that you eat, like junk food &#8211; food is everything that nourished at the cellular level, such as live food).</p>
<p>The solution to high cholesterol is not drug use. First you must understand that high cholesterol is not a disease, it is simply a condition created by options that you choose everyday.</p>
<p>The only way to lower cholesterol without the use of drugs that harm your health, is a change in attitude towards your feeding habit with a regular program of <a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/tag/physical-exercise">physical exercises</a> as walking, biking, swimming, running and any other exercises you can do without risk to your health.</p>
<p>The recent guidelines on cholesterol, recommended that people should expect a level of 70 or lower <strong>LDL (low density lipoprotein)</strong>. This recommendation is lower than the previous suggestion of 100.</p>
<p>And of course the number one recommended way to lower your cholesterol, according to the popular press and pharmaceutical companies, is taking <strong>Statin drugs</strong> (Statin is the type of drug for lowering cholesterol). The more you use these drugs, most have your cholesterol checked, they said. And guess who the beneficiary is? Of course, the pharmaceutical industry!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Educating yourself about the general facts on <strong>lung cancer</strong> is essential to help prevent acquiring the <strong>disease</strong>. In the number one cause of death among American men and one of the leading <strong>causes</strong> of deaths worldwide, <strong>health</strong> experts are promoting their efforts on trying to discover general facts on lung cancer, and how this disease can be very dangerous.</p>
<p>Among the various types of <strong>cancer</strong> deaths, lung cancer accounts for 29 percent of that. In fact, there are more cases of lung cancer deaths compared with data from <strong>prostate cancer</strong> deaths, <strong>breast</strong> and <strong>colon cancer</strong> combined. So now you can begin to arm themselves to protect the general data on lung cancer before it is too late.</p>
<p><strong>Causes of lung cancer</strong></p>
<p>When people think of lung cancer, often associated with <strong>cigarette smoking</strong>. In fact, this is a major cause of the disease. But it is not the only factor.</p>
<p>One important aspect of research to health experts on lung cancer is a <strong>genetic factor</strong>. Most cancer cells develop when there is an error in the <strong>mutation</strong> of <strong>DNA cells</strong>. That the error itself can be affected by other environmental factors as well, which has led health experts to re-examine the external factors that can contribute to the formation of cancer cells.</p>
<p>Too much exposure to <strong>asbestos</strong> has been cited as a crucial environmental factor causing lung cancer. Asbestos is a type of mineral that is composed of fibers and packages up occurs naturally in the environment. These fibers, when inhaled by a person exposed to them, may be trapped in the lungs and accumulate until it causes <strong>inflammation</strong> in the lungs.</p>
<p>Another crucial factor that could lead to the development of lung cancer is the inhalation of secondhand smoke. Although <strong>cigarette smoking</strong> may increase your chances of getting lung cancer, those who inhale are at increased risk. Secondhand smoke has two types of smoke that are produced by burning snuff products and exhaled by the smoker.</p>
<p>Please pay close attention to these general data on lung cancer, so they can avoid factors that may put at risk of acquiring the disease.</p>
<p><strong>The symptoms of lung cancer</strong></p>
<p>It affects their <strong>respiratory system</strong>, the common symptoms associated with lung cancer are related to conditions affecting the respiratory disease.</p>
<p>It is a rare case of lung cancer is diagnosed early, so that knowledge of general facts about lung cancer is extremely important for early diagnosis.</p>
<p>• Cases of prolonged cough.<br />
• Taking away wheezing.<br />
• Pain in the back, chest or shoulder.<br />
• coughing up blood or mucus.<br />
• Constant shortness of breath.<br />
• glands in the neck or face.<br />
• Pneumonia or other respiratory infections, etc.</p>
<p><strong>For treatment of lung cancer</strong></p>
<p>Before a treatment option is to be determined for patients with lung cancer, it is important to diagnose the type and the first stage. Here are some of the most common types of treatment:</p>
<p>1) <strong>Surgery</strong> &#8211; This treatment method is best only for patients who are diagnosed early due to the possibility that cancer cells spread to other parts of the body despite the inability to detect through analysis.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Chemotherapy</strong> &#8211; This treatment is best used for people with small cell cancer of the lung. Often this is accompanied by radiation therapy. This treatment is known as <strong>chemoradiation</strong>.</p>
<p>3) <strong>Radiation therapy</strong> &#8211; This treatment addresses the patient&#8217;s head in order to prevent the spread of cancer cells to the brain. It is recommended only for individuals with small cell cancer of the lung and those who had their tumors removed by surgery.</p>
