I was a fairly heavy smoker for many years. (2 to 3 packs a day!) When I began smoking, I thought it was the “cool” thing to do
Over the last few years, I came to realize that smoking is very “UNcool” and that more and more people were quitting and there were less and less places where smokers were allowed to light up. I also realized how addicted I was and how terrible smoking was for my health. I knew it was time to quit.

There are three types of diabetes: type I diabetes, type II diabetes and gestational diabetes. Each form shares some defect in relation to insulin. Insulin affects the way the body uses food for fuel and is an essential hormone that regulates glucose, fat and protein metabolism.
Carbohydrate, or glucose, is the fuel most readily available for uses by the cells and is the body’s main energy source. In people with diabetes, the pancreas produces little or no insulin or the body’s cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. Read the rest of this entry »

Study explains the path a drug takes from its creation in a laboratory to a pharmacy.
When the new medicine has been created in the lab, it has to pass various strictly supervised tests before it will be available to society.

Have you ever wondered what the most widely prescribed drug was? Go ahead - take a guess. I think the answer will surprise you!
Out of thousands of drugs that are marketed in the U.S., do you know which ones top the scale as the most frequently prescribed? You may be suprised.
I would have thought maybe a drug like Lanoxin, used to treat heart problems, or perhaps even depression drugs such as Prozac or Zoloft would be the most widely used medication.
This is not the case. The drug most frequently prescribed is Vicodin! Hydrocodone, or Vicodin is a pain killer used to treat moderate to severe pain. Read the rest of this entry »

How I Cured My Allergies To Pollen
Or - Honey You Shrunk The Sneeze!

Every guy knows the word prostate, but very few know its purpose even how to make it healthy. This time we look at ways to eat your way to better prostate health and sperm function even she can’t complain about.
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland right below the bladder. Its main job is to release an alkaline liquid called the seminal fluid. The fluid consists mostly of sugars (fructose) and enables the spermatozoids (baby sperm) to function properly.
An enlarged prostate is actually caused by hyperplasia. It doesn’t mean swelling, just an increase in the number of cells. BPH symptoms can be prevented and its progress stopped with the proper diet and regular checkups. The process leading to an enlarged prostate gland starts with low blood levels of testosterone. Prostate cells depend on testosterone to work properly so they release an enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) to transform what’s left of the testosterone into a hormone 10 times stronger called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
